The Lana Del Rey-Themed Group Show We Didn’t Know We Needed

1 day ago | news.artnet.com | William Van Meter

Yesterday was the first scorching day of summer, and Eden Deering, the director of P·P·O·W gallery, was putting the final touches on a new group exhibition inspired by Lana Del Rey. “Every artist in the show is united in their devotion to Lana,” she said. “Everyone is a Lana fan and is inspired in their work.” The show is also about a lot of other things—art and artifice, sincerity and spectacle. “A lot of the work in the show and a lot of the artists deal with things that are fake,” she continued.

The past few years were a sad and challenging time for the beloved San Francisco Art Institute, which filed for bankruptcy in 2023 and shuttered after a failed bid to sell a very valuable in-situ mural by Diego Rivera that is now landmarked. But things are looking much brighter for the property, thanks to fresh investment and its newly announced guise as a dynamic studio program and arts center named the California Academy of Studio Arts (CASA).

Opening today is the American debut of “Constellation,” the largest exhibition to date of the revolutionary photographer Diane Arbus.

The exhibition offers new perspectives into Arbus’s universe of humanity.

3 days ago | news.artnet.com | Richard Whiddington

In his 50 years of scouring the Isle of Man with a metal detector in hand, Ronald Clucas had never found anything like it: eight strands of gold looped neatly together.

Charles and Ray Eames’s Overlooked Final Decade Takes Center Stage in San Francisco

3 days ago | news.artnet.com | Min Chen

By the 1960s, Charles and Ray Eames had chalked up decades’ worth of designs that revolutionized modern living. The husband-and-wife team reimagined the storage unit as a modular system in eye-popping color, reenvisioned the humble table, and, of course, created chairs upon chairs—in wire, plastic, molded plywood, and curved fiberglass. It was work that ranked them among the midcentury’s most sought-after industrial designers, ones who dared to fuse function with experimentation.

But when the manager got up from the front desk and disappeared into an elevator, the band rushed in and photographer Henry Diltz promptly blazed through a roll of film.

“The title was something that my father said to me when I was younger,” artist Chase Hall tells me on a video call, speaking about his new solo exhibition, “Momma’s Baby, Daddy’s Maybe,” on view at Galerie Eva Presenhuber in Vienna. On its own, the phrase is devastating, but Hall describes it matter-of-factly.
