Kathleen Ryan finds beauty in things that are already beginning to fall apart.

The American sculptor is known for transforming oversized fruit, bread and other familiar foods into elaborate sculptures that explore decay, abundance and excess. Mold, bruising and rot are painstakingly recreated using beads, crystals and semiprecious stones.

That contradiction is what makes the work so compelling. The parts we would normally consider spoiled or worthless become the most intricate and precious.

By making decay beautiful, Ryan shifts our attention to the parts we’re usually quick to discard. Decay isn’t the end of the object. It’s where the transformation begins.

Patrick and Laurence Seguin have been collecting together for nearly four decades.

It started in the late 1980s with a Jean Prouvé table and chairs found at the Saint-Ouen flea market, long before Prouvé became as collectible as he is today.

Their collection has since grown to include Warhol, Basquiat, Calder, Richard Prince, Mark Grotjahn and Jonas Wood, but their approach has remained remarkably consistent. No art advisor. Just years of looking, learning, building relationships and trusting their own eye.

For the Seguins, collecting ultimately comes down to instinct and emotion.

Almost forty years later, they’re still buying what they believe in.

Music was never just playing in the background for Jean-Michel Basquiat. It became part of the language of his paintings.

A devoted record collector, Basquiat drew heavily from jazz, bebop, hip-hop and the sounds of downtown New York. Charlie Parker was a particular obsession, appearing through names, symbols and references in works like Charles the First, CPRKR and Horn Players.

The influence went beyond the musicians themselves. Basquiat’s paintings move almost like music: words repeat, images overlap, ideas disappear and return, creating a sense of rhythm and improvisation across the canvas.

Once you start looking for the music in Basquiat’s work, it’s hard not to hear it.

📩 Looking to sell or understand the value of a work by Warhol, Basquiat, Haring, Banksy, Hockney, KAWS or Kusama? DM the gallery for an appraisal.

Sebastian Magnani takes Batman out of Gotham and places him somewhere far less expected: everyday life.

His Daily Bat series began in 2019 with a simple idea. Unlike most superheroes, Batman has no supernatural powers. Beneath the mask, he is human.

Magnani plays with that idea by placing Batman in the kind of ordinary moments superheroes usually don't get photographed in. The familiar character becomes strangely relatable, blurring the line between fantasy and everyday life.

Even Batman has to clock out eventually.

What do Yayoi Kusama's dots actually mean? 🔴

Yayoi Kusama’s polka dots are more than one of the most recognizable motifs in contemporary art.

Kusama has described experiencing patterns and repeated forms from a young age, with dots appearing to extend across her surroundings. Over time, repetition became central to her practice and to an idea she calls “self-obliteration,” dissolving the boundaries between the individual and the world around them.

From paintings and sculptures to pumpkins and entire rooms, the materials and scale have changed, but the dots have remained.

Repetition is a way of reaching toward something endless.

Anastasia Mez approaches photography as mixed media, using the Polaroid as a material rather than simply a finished image.

Through emulsion lifting, she separates and manipulates the delicate image layer, combining photographs, figures and fragments into layered compositions. The folds, wrinkles and imperfections created along the way remain visible, becoming part of the work itself.

The result blurs the line between photography, collage and painting, transforming a single captured moment into something entirely new.

Larry Madrigal paints the ordinary because that’s where he finds the moments that feel most honest.

After becoming a father, his attention shifted toward domestic life and the routines happening around him. Getting dressed, making breakfast, lying in bed, spending time with family. Experiences that might seem too mundane to become the subject of a painting.

Madrigal gives these moments time and scale, capturing the humor, intimacy and occasional chaos of everyday life. His paintings remind us how much can happen in the parts of the day we barely think about.
