Summer is a great time to visit art museums, which offer the refreshing rinse of swimming pools – only instead of cool water, you immerse yourself in art. – Jerry Saltz Art by Koshiro Onchi
I’ve seen photos of Hudson, New York based artist and designer Frank Faulkner‘s home before but I never looked at them all together until yesterday. These actually might encompass more than one home but they give you a sense of his great style and ability to mix flea market finds with aplomb. The living room […]
Christie’s auction house was kind enough to as me to be their Arbiter of Style this month. I chose my favorite pieces from the upcoming Interiors Sale, taking place June 18 and 19 in New York, including this gorgeous painting Anemones with Red Cloth above by artist Nell Blaine. I also answered some fun questions you […]
Not only am I going to need a library to house all my books someday but shelves on which to display my favorite covers. A lot of time and effort goes into the cover art of books so why not display them as you would a painting. Chandelier Creative, above, even opens some of them […]
I know I just posted a lot of color but what’s really been inspiring lately is black and white. It’s the hot look for spring 2013 fashion and it’s still a classic for the home. You might remember that Danish fashion designer Malene Birger is also a fan from this post. Well, she’s been […]

If you can’t afford a Basquiat like in my earlier post or anything at Gagosian for that matter, you might want to check out Lindsay Cowles Art. Her colorful abstract paintings are not only popular with collectors but interior designers who commission special pieces for their clients. They would look as great in a modern […]
If you want to brave the snow drifts in New York this weekend, I suggest an outing to the Gagosian Gallery on West 24th Street for the Jean-Michel Basquiat exhibition. Or you can wait for warmer weather since it runs through April 6, 2013. This major exhibition will feature over fifty works by the artist […]
The first thing on my “to do” list on my book signing trip to Chicago was to visit the Art Institute of Chicago. I still can’t believe I’ve never visited before and it was a treat to see the famous George Seurat painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte from 1884. The holiday […]
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, I braved the crowded to check out the new Picasso Black and White exhibition at the Guggenheim museum. While it’s not as dynamic or inspiring as some of the colorful Picasso exhibitions at the Gagosian galleries recently, Picasso’s work is amazing in any color. The white spiral gallery at the Guggenheim […]
I’m a bit under the weather and preparing for a magazine photo shoot in my apartment on Thursday. Good times. But this apartment full of amazing art featured on APT by LSD on Vogue.com today made me feel a little better. It’s owned by Kyle DeWoody whose mother is uber major art collector Beth Rudin […]
There are so many amazing art exhibitions and events beginning this weekend that it feels like Christmas all over again. Yesterday, I popped into the Gagosian Gallery on Madison Avenue to see the gorgeous Picasso and Françoise Gilot: Paris–Vallauris 1943–1953 exhibition. This is the fourth Picasso show at Gagosian and the first uptown which was […]
The best part of High Point is getting to meet many of the designers in person. Sisters Susan Hable Smith and Katherine Hable Sweeney of Hable Construction have collaborated on a fabric line for Hickory Chair and created a little artist’s studio in the showroom. Not only do I love their fabric designers but their […]
Long time readers will remember my affinity for the work of artist James Nares. I first wrote about him in 2007 and again last year. So when Coach asked if I would like to visit his studio and see the new limited edition bags he designed for them, I immediately asked when and where. I’ve […]
Sometimes I wish we could discuss artists or anyone for that matter without having to mention their gender. In the case of photographer Cindy Sherman, being a woman is an integral part of her work and therefore, cannot be ignored. Just opened at The Museum of Modern Art is a new exhibit, Cindy Sherman, which […]
Over the holidays, my friend Jessica and I visited an amazing exhibition organized by the Marlborough Gallery downtown in the old Mercantile Exchange building. Le Cabinet de Curiosités, is a show conceived and curated by Thierry Despont, where “contemporary art converges with 18th- and 19th-century antiquities in a setting that blurs the confines of time and […]
I apologize for the lack of post yesterday. Today for those of you who subscribe. I started a post and then the day got away from me. I was going to finish it this morning but then accidentally deleted the photos in the post. While I work on redoing that one, I leave you with […]
