Three years after ARTCOLLECTORNEWS first spoke with Maxwell Stevens about Last Days of Summer, the New York painter has returned to the beach. But in Surfside, the setting has become less a backdrop than a social and psychological stage. The new paintings bring swimmers, surfers, couples, families and groups of friends into close proximity along the North Atlantic coast of Long Island. Stevens renders these figures with an almost portrait-like concentration before disrupting them with broad smears, calligraphic strokes, impasto and flashes of cobalt, turquoise and aqua.

Tala Madani’s new paintings and animations turn cutting, erasure and reconstruction into a language of power. Using fresh artist testimony alongside the exhibition material, we examine why the work is funniest when control starts to fail.

Eight new sculptures turn handmade ceramic beads, soils from three countries and metal stitching into a chorus of maternal forms—an exhibition where repair becomes structure rather than correction.

Tunnel-boring machines become creatures and infrastructure starts to resemble metabolism in Teresa Solar Abboud’s first UK solo. We look at the hidden systems beneath the city—and what collectors need to know about her materially complex sculpture.

Jeanne-Marie de Broglie spent four decades helping Christie’s establish itself in France while creating interiors that resisted the separation of modern art, historic furniture and daily life. Her Rue Washington apartment offers a model of the collector’s home as social space, personal archive and evolving composition.

The Whitney’s first Lichtenstein retrospective in New York in more than thirty years reunites his landmark 1962 Castelli debut and follows the artist across six decades. For collectors, it is a timely chance to look beyond the market’s early-Pop hierarchy and reconsider the full intelligence of the oeuvre.
