ART

 

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

540 West 25th Street

​​​​​​​Nov 4 – Dec 17, 2022

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. 

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

 

MAIALINO (VICINO)

REDBURY HOTEL

30 EAST 30TH ST

Maialino (vicino) brings the familiar trattoria classics of their Gramercy Park original to a new location at The Redbury, New York. Reminiscent of the relaxed neighborhood restaurants found across Rome, Maialino (vicino) is a warm and welcoming space.

The Ned NYC was just opened in Nomad. Located in The Johnston Building, The Ned NoMad includes Ned’s Club, a members’ club that gives access to spaces including a rooftop terrace, as well as 167 bedrooms and a Cecconi’s restaurant. Cecconi's is one of my favorites ESPECIALLY in Miami in Soho House!

The Interiors are off the charts...and the elevator is my favorite elevator ANYWHERE! Its inspiring an entire room for me!

Zero Bond is a twenty thousand square foot private membership club in the heart of Noho. The club will have something for every member at every hour: days filled with comfortable workspaces and conference rooms focused on productivity for an individual or a group, and nights alive with multiple restaurants and bars, private event space, and curated exclusive experiences.

In New York, finding the right balance between living, working, and playing can be a challenge. Our homes and offices can only be part of the equation; Zero Bond is the piece you’ve been missing to perfectly complement city living

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.

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.

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.
