OCTOBER 21, 2022–FEBRUARY 20, 202
Guggenheim Museum
​​​​​​​1071 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY 10128
(Between 88th and 89th Streets)
Across eight decades of intense creative production, Alex Katz (b. 1927, Brooklyn, New York) has sought to capture visual experience in the present tense. “Eternity exists in minutes of absolute awareness,” Katz stated in 1961. “Painting, when successful, seems to be a synthetic reflection of this condition.” Whether evoking a glancing exchange between friends or a shaft of light filtered through trees, he has aimed to create a record of “quick things passing,” compressing the flux of everyday life into a vivid burst of optical perception. This show encompasses his entire life of work and his overall journey. Its so beautiful to see how he has evolved to a now 96 year old man!

ALICJA KWADE
Petrichor
November 15 - December 17, 2022
303 GALLERY
555 W 21 STREET 
303 Gallery will show the  gallery’s third exhibition by renowned Berlin-based artist Alicja Kwade, opening on November 15. This exhibition of new works will feature a large-scale, immersive installation, sculptures, and wall works, as well as a series of suspended and standing mobiles that are being presented outside of Europe for the first time. This will also be the artist’s first exhibition in New York since her celebrated 2019 commission for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Roof Garden. The exhibition’s title, Petrichor, refers to the distinctive earthy scent that briefly lingers after rainfall on parched soil.

SOMIA GOMES
PACE GALLERY

Gomes, who is known for her use of textiles and everyday materials in her complex assemblages, brings physicality and movement to the fore of her work.This is also the artist’s first solo exhibition with Pace since she joined the gallery’s program in 2020.
 
Gomes, a largely self-taught artist, first gained international recognition when the late curator Okwui Enwezor included her work in the 2015 Venice Biennale. 
City Notes
Wolfgang Tillmans: To look without fear
MOMA MUSEUM
11 WEST 53RD ST
​​​​​​​THRU JANUARY 4
From ecstatic images of nightlife to abstract images made without a camera, sensitive portraits to architectural slide projections, documents of social movements to windowsill still lifes, astronomical phenomena to intimate nudes, Tillmans has explored seemingly every imaginable genre of photography, continually experimenting with how to make new pictures. He considers the role of the artist to be that of “an amplifier” of social and political causes, and his approach is animated by a concern with the possibilities of forging connections and the idea of togetherness. The way in which he exhibits his full length of work and scale is incredibly moving!
 
 
FOOD

MARKET REPORT
 
Despite the decline from last year’s sales surge in Manhattan, levels remained significantly higher than in pre-pandemic conditions. Median sales price rose annually to the second highest on record for a third quarter. Sales and average price per square foot fell to the second highest on record, also for a third quarter. Listing inventory was up nominally from the prior year's quarter and pre-pandemic levels. Co-op sales fell year over year for the first time in six quarters, and condo sales fell year over year for the first time in seven quarters. Luxury price trend indicators expanded year over year for the fourth consecutive quarter. Luxury listing inventory expanded year over year but remained well below pre-pandemic levels. New development listings accounted for one-third of all luxury listings, consistent with the decade average. New development sales declined sharply from last year's unusual high but were significantly above pre-pandemic levels. The market share of new development sales was well above the decade's quarterly average.
MANHATTAN Q3 2022 HIGHLIGHTS
Despite rising mortgage rates in the Hamptons, price trends continued to set records as the lack of listing inventory persisted. The median sales price has risen to both record and near-record levels for ten straight quarters, to nearly double pre-pandemic levels. The number of sales fell year over year for the fifth consecutive quarter as listing inventory fell annually for the twelfth consecutive quarter and was less than half of pre-pandemic levels.
HAMPTONS Q3 MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
Across the region, price trends continued to rise, with many markets seeing new highs. Listing inventory expanded over the summer but remained well below pre-pandemic levels. Sales volume slowed compared to the frenzied levels of 2021 before mortgage rates spiked but remained above pre-pandemic levels. The market is coming off of one of the largest housing booms of the modern era, pivoting to more typical activity levels. However, the lack of listing inventory persists as a market condition even with the higher cost of financing. Bidding wars remained a part of the market landscape in the third quarter but with a lower share of sales.
