Opening this week in NYC!
📌John Armleder at David Kordansky Gallery featured above & opening tonight
David Kordansky Gallery is showing historic works by Swiss artist John Armleder, on view in New York through June 13, 2026. The exhibition centers on his Furniture Sculpture series, which pairs found objects like vintage furniture with paintings to blur the line between art, decor, and everyday life. Armleder’s work draws on chance, collectivity, and art movements from Dada to Fluxus, with the viewer’s own interpretation treated as essential to the work’s meaning. See you there! #ShowrunnerNYC
Opening tonight in NYC!
📌Helen Frankenthaler at Gagosian
Gagosian announces “Helen Frankenthaler: The Moment and the Distance,” showcasing over twenty large paintings from 1960-1992. See you out there. #ShowrunnerNYC
Curated reccomendations from our friend Oona @oonazlamany 📌
Notes from Oona:
“I never really had a choice but to love art. It’s an instinctive feeling, you immediately know what you connect with and what you don’t. The beauty of art is that it doesn’t require explanation; your response to it is entirely your own.
Art that relies on shock value through explicit or offensive imagery isn’t good art to me. It may occasionally spark debate or even an important conversation, but if the work can’t stand on its own without that element, it feels like a cheap trick.“
Check out Oona’s “Want to See” list now in the app. #ShowrunnerNYC

Opening this week in NYC⭐️
📌On View Now: Philip Guston at Hauser & Wirth
‘Life with P.’ at Hauser & Wirth opened this Tuesday and showcases Philip Guston’s intimate paintings and drawings inspired by his marriage to poet Musa McKim. We went on opening night and you could feel the excitement in the room. On view through 7/10/26. #ShowrunnerNYC
Closing soon:
📌Édouard Vuillard at Skarstedt @skarstedtgallery
Édouard Vuillard’s Early Interiors at Skarstedt feels like a museum worthy show, bringing together important paintings from public and private collections. Vuillard was inspired by Japanese block prints and this influence appeared particularly in his work in the negation of depth, the simplicity of forms, and use of contrasting colors. These works are small but mighty, focusing on domestic scenes, where intimate views of family life are expressed through bold color, pattern, and flattened space. Get up close at Skarstedt with Early Interiors, on view through 4/25. #ShowrunnerNYC
