Gavin Brown’s 291 Grand Street location is playing home to the gallery’s summer exhibition this month, a cunning and often comical play on art history curated by painter Brian Belott.  Inviting a group of artists to take their own improvisational runs on various artists from the last 100 years of painting and sculpture, the show plays on the memory of Glenn Gould, whose own takes on popular figures and music themes equally expressed his own artistic brilliance.

Katherine Bernhardt’s bold collection of work, which opened last night at CANADA Gallery in New York, celebrates her canvas-chronicled love affairs with fashion and music celebrities known to the masses by their now infamous monikers. Bernhardt captures her favorite bold-faced names in vibrant colors and fresh, graphic strokes that allow her audience to see the stars that are “Kate, Giselle, Natalia, Kanye, George & Simon” in striking and fanciful new light.
