For his first UK solo presentation and first exhibition with David Zwirner, Daichi Takagi turns stones, moonlight, leaves and ancient trees into paintings poised between exact observation and the surreal.

LACMA’s largest survey of Reiko Sudō and NUNO asks a collector’s question hiding in plain sight: when does fabric become an authored, editioned and historically important object of design?

Three years after ARTCOLLECTORNEWS first spoke with Maxwell Stevens about Last Days of Summer, the New York painter has returned to the beach. But in Surfside, the setting has become less a backdrop than a social and psychological stage. The new paintings bring swimmers, surfers, couples, families and groups of friends into close proximity along the North Atlantic coast of Long Island. Stevens renders these figures with an almost portrait-like concentration before disrupting them with broad smears, calligraphic strokes, impasto and flashes of cobalt, turquoise and aqua.
