White Almond Monday, Gio Ponti Pre-Auction Exhibition at Phillips

An examination of Gio Ponti’s design sensibility through selected pieces from the April 2025 Auction at Phillips, speaking on the tension between rationalist clarity and ornamental impulse.

Rose Wylie at David Zwirner, When Found becomes Given (2025)

Rose Wylie’s exhibition When Found Becomes Given at David Zwirner presents new and recent paintings that link personal, linguistic, and cinematic narratives across multiple panels. The works feature thick, textured paint that share the space with text that seems at once excessive and explanatory, functioning as a tautological closure upon the image. This overlap between image and text opens the space for event-like mental curation that allows for the viewers to map their imagined forms upon what is given. There are horses, cats and birds.
