Our current show at the gallery is a must see. Webster is one of a new generation of abstract painters who are breathing new life into the genre—yet, being in the gallery feels like you just walked into a show that could have been shown in New York in the 50s. Drawing from a variety [...]


Tomorrow evening, the Steven Zevitas Gallery will host an artist’s reception for Amy Ross, Brother Wolf. Amy is well known for masterfully crafted watercolors that merge plants and animals. This new body of work is in collaboration with her brother who recently served in Iraq. Read the full press release here.


Our next edition of New American Paintings, #85, focusing on the Pacific Coast will be out next Friday. The Pacific Coast area is consistently a strong book for us every year, but I think the entire staff agrees that this one is particularly good—potentially the best to date. Pre-order a copy directly here. Cover: Devin Troy [...]


One more week to see our current show, Hannah Cole | Mantle. In the words of gallery owner/director, Steven Zevitas, Cole’s work is: “…concerned with tension between abstraction and figuration and with visual phenomena that occur at the edges of our perception. In her recent paintings, she renders pieces of the urban environment that normally go [...]

New American Paintings also had continued success at Art Basel [...]


Last night we had drinks on the rooftop of the Gansevoort Hotel. A beautiful, chill spot to have open air drinks. Working in the arts has many benefits, but I was feeling especially grateful last night…


Santigold (formally Santogold, but was sued by an artist of the same name) put on a great performance at the Deitch Projects party at the Raleigh Hotel. Although it was an incredibly short set and I sadly missed the first couple of songs—even the tail end was pretty impressive. If you don’t know her music, listen [...]


I’m off to Miami tomorrow morning to begin the whirlwind week of art, smoozing and a little bit of partying…Stay tuned for lots of photos of the scene… This is the Miami I know best as I’m indoors most of the day. This is the Miami I catch a glimpse of under dark sunglasses with [...]


I am happy to announce today that our current show of recent work by David X. Levine, Brain Wilson Loves You, got a critics pick review on Artforum.com. Aside from our professional connection, I have long been a huge fan of David’s work and my husband and I own 4 of his earlier pieces (if you [...]
