Lara Saget Debuts Her First New York Solo Show, ‘And the World Came Apart’
Lara Saget brings more than a decade of material experimentation to her first solo exhibition in New York. At Trotter&Sholer’s new Elizabeth Street space, her sculptures and wearable works fuse glass, stone, and metal through heat, pressure, and time. Drawing on geological processes and NASA data, the show moves from ancient natural formations to humanity’s rapid impact on the planet.
The Phillips Collection Opens ‘Avery, Gottlieb & Rothko: By the Sea’
Milton Avery went to Gloucester, Massachusetts, to “live like an artist,” then brought Adolph Gottlieb and Mark Rothko along for summers of creative exchange. In Washington, D.C., The Phillips Collection’s “Avery, Gottlieb & Rothko: By the Sea” brings together watercolors and color-drenched canvases, tracing what those Cape Ann days set in motion.
