ART
Gagosian museum in New York has announced a new exhibition honoring what would have been the 100th anniversary of photographer Richard Avedon.
It's a first in Los Angeles, from the 27th of May to the 8th of October 2023, Keith Haring's tremendous body of work will be displayed in an exceptional exhibition called Art Is For Everybody at The Broad museum, on South Grande Avenue.
An aging artist. An emerging ingénue. An unlikely friendship – but one that defined the artistic age of 1980s New York City. A new exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton attempts to bottle that frenetic street art energy of Lower Manhattan and present the prolific artistic catalogue of two pop culture phenoms.

IN AMERICA: AN ANTHOLOGY OF FASHION
THE MULTI-LAYERED EXHIBIT OF AMERICAN FASHION
The Costume Institute’s In America: An Anthology of Fashion collaboration of haute couture designs dedicated to the fashion of the 18th and 19th centuries, embodies the expressionist movement by bridging the gap between clothes-decoration, remnants of an aristocratic fashion ideal and the abundant world of fashion through eloquence after the historical designers who pushed iconic, modern fashion forward in motion.
SARAH CHARLESWORTH PRESENTS DOUBLEWORLD AT LACMA
A PICTURE OF MID-20TH CENTURY AMERICA
Highly influential artist, Sarah Charlesworth (1947-2013) reminds us to look more closely into photographs and its effects on our contemporary society. “Photography has become almost a second language, integrated as the written and spoken word into almost every aspect of social production” said Charlesworth during her 40-year career.
THEY WERE THE COCKETTES!
Too much glitter is never enough
A rare combination of hallucinogens, drag, and singing improvisation, the Cockettes were a landmark in the early ’70s underground culture of San Francisco. The performance group was founded by Hibiscus (George Edgerly Harris III)and had several vibrant members all living in a communalhouse, which ex-resident and Cockettes member Fayette Hauser recalled as being full of “acid, freak artists, and hippies” located in the countercultureneighborhood of Haight-Ashbury. Her recent book on her experience as a Cockette member is a vivid narration of that era.
CORE CONCEPT
WORKING WITH PHOTOGRAPHS AND ARTISTIC OVERLAY:
A COLLABORATION BETWEEN MARIO SORRENTI AND JOHN BALDESSARI
At Half Galley in New York, the two iconic artists Mario Sorrenti and John Baldessari present their exhibition, “Noses, Elbows and Knees.” This exhibition is all about the deconstruction, beauty, and imperfection of the human form, so the collaboration of this exhibition could not be in more fitting hands. Fashion photographer, Mario Sorrenti best known for his photo of Kate Moss in 1990 for the Calvin Klein Obsession campaign, centers his work around the sexuality and curiosity of the human form whether impure or perfect.
