Wow, this has been a speedy summer! So much so, that I’ve completely neglected my newsletter. However, lots of exciting artworks and happenings as we speed into fall.
🌊 Deep Dive: Summer Musings
To catch up on the past couple of months, thought it would be fun to do a roundup of a few artists and artworks that have caught my eye this summer.
The vibrancy of Sophie Treppenhal’s intimate interiors this summer has had me gravitating towards all things colorful.
Super excited to continue to watch Anders Lindseth’s investigation into what it means to be alive through painting, drawing, and sculpture. I’m also looking forward to having more of his often-firey works making their way from Los Angeles to the East Coast as his gallery, Amanita, is also opening a sweet new space in New York this month.
I can’t stop thinking about Nicola Vassell Gallery’s “Uncanny Interiors” that took place this summer and brought together works by masters such as David Hockney alongside some contemporary favorites like Danielle McKinney and Anne Buckwalter.
Wishing I could fly across the globe for a fan favorite of mine (and TBH many of yours), Keiran Brennan Hinton’s show at MAKI Gallery is opening in Tokyo on October 1st. (Also be sure to read this fun write-up on his school house studio in Maclean’s.)
Rasmus Eckhardt had some ethereal works on the Lower East Side at Shrine Gallery. The mix of soft lines and dreamy circumstances — so fun.
Azadeh-Elmizadeh’s show Sister Seeds at Franz Kaka this month and the paintings are as special as they look online.
If you are looking for a moving combination of art and technology, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s “Pulse Topology” might do just that. Each visitor is invited to place their hand below a sensor in the room, which is then read and transformed into an immersion of pulsing light and sound. If art is ever going to remind you of the magic of being alive, this does the trick. This will be on view at PACE Gallery in Chelsea until mid-October.
While visiting Chapter NY’s TriBeCa space, Mariel Capanna’s paintings stood out from the rest in their group show. I love how the intimate work below provided the tranquility of a grown-up “Where is Waldo.” I think they are just so whimsical and fun.
Ok, that’s a wrap! Be sure to reach out if you have any interest or questions on the artists above — as always, more than happy to help.

Peggy’s TikTok — if you don’t follow us already, I highly recommend it! (Same with our Instagram.)
It is the last month of the Whitney Biennial — go see it if you’re in New York. And if you do, my two favorite pieces from the show were actually video pieces, so take a few minutes to sit in front of Alex Da Corte’s hard-to-miss explosion of color on screen and keep your eyes peeled for the room with Alfredo Jaar’s incredibly moving presentation, 06.01.2020 18.39, 2022, which investigates protest in America.
👋 Parting Words…
I hope you enjoyed this short but sweet fall art kickoff — let me know if you’ve seen anything this summer that caught your eye!
Until next time…

I love Alex de Corte’s work. I watched a video about how he was influenced by Claes Oldenburg
