Opening tonight 📆

Don’t miss the opening reception of “Maia Ruth Lee: Double Vision” at Tina Kim Gallery from 6:00–8:00pm!

In this exhibition, Lee interrogates migration as simultaneous perception. The migrant’s double vision simultaneously inhabits both the place left behind and the place occupied as the condition for a complete understanding of the migrant’s life. Double vision becomes both a metaphor and a new way of working memory as material.

“Double Vision” proposes history as a layered, omnidirectional, and omnitemporal experience even as it remains tethered to earthly forms. Mirrors, suitcases, sculptures, textiles, salvaged objects, and paintings are sites of doubled perception. Memory folds into itself, and the boundaries between past and present remain deliberately unresolved.

Lee’s practice comprises an ever-expanding archive in a constant state of assembly, stacking, transporting, translating, and seeing.

This exhibition is on view through October 24, 2026.

Want a sneak peek into the 2026 ADAA Fair?

The fair will bring together 63 galleries from ADAA’s robust national membership, including Peter Blum Gallery who will spotlight Alex Katz’s works on paper from the 1950s to the 2020s.

The presentation will focus on two pivotal mediums: early cut paper collages and career-long charcoal and graphite drawings. Collectively, these works reveal the foundations of Katz’s iconic visual language, showcasing a consistent command of line and a refined, modern approach to both landscape and portraiture.

Katz’s “Edwin and Ada on the Beach” features Ada Del Moro, Katz’s wife and frequent subject of his works.

Don’t miss this piece at the ADAA Fair, from November 12–16, 2026, at the Park Avenue Armory!

Last week to see Ross Bleckner’s paintings at Baldwin Gallery ⚠️

Widely recognized as one of the most influential contemporary American painters of his generation, Bleckner’s work has long explored themes of memory, loss, transformation, and resilience, rising to prominence in New York during the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s.

His visual language frequently incorporates recurring motifs—including flowers, birds, candelabras, and cellular forms—that seem to float within glowing fields of light. Whether working in abstraction or representation, Bleckner’s paintings possess a dreamlike quality that invites contemplation and emotional reflection.

Many of his works examine the vulnerability of the human body and the intersections of health, mortality, and remembrance, transforming deeply personal and collective experiences into powerful visual meditations.

“Ross Bleckner: Eunoia” is on view through September 7!

Happy 50th anniversary, Nara Roesler 🎂🥳

Few galleries can claim a half-century of history; fewer still can claim one so closely entwined with the story of Brazilian art itself.

This year, Nara Roesler celebrates fifty years, a legacy that stretches from Recife in 1975 to São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and New York today, and encompasses artists from Abraham Palatnik and Tomie Ohtake to Julio Le Parc and Vik Muniz.

We had the pleasure to talk with Daniel Roesler, Partner and Senior Director at Nara Roesler, on how the gallery has remained true to its founding vision while evolving over five decades, its role in bringing Brazilian art to an international audience, and what lies ahead as it enters its next chapter.
