Sergio Rodrigues x ESPASSO
Amidst Fashion Week chaos Brazilian beats echo and caipirinhas abound to celebrate an inspired collection of new works by Sergio Rodrigues for ESPASSO. Known as the "father of Brazilian furniture" for identifying a signature aesthetic of jacarandá, peroba and imbuia wood furniture characteristic of the international scene in the 1950's Rodrigues is featured in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Accented by exclusive lamps the acclaimed "Chifruda" (aka Aspas) armchair goes on sale in numbered editions exclusively in ESPASSO's New York and Los Angeles locations this fall.

The Return of Robert Palmer

New York Fashion Week didn't just bring an influx of edge and modernity for next season, but rather some hints of a return to the old school vibe of NYC. With the opening of the new Boom Boom Room at Andre Balazs' the Standard Hotel, one can forget the affiliation of its namesake to focus on the vintage polished glamour, like a scene out of Mad Men. Waitresses were adorned in rich, white silk dresses by Reuben Chapelle, their hair in slick chignons or tightly wound up-do's accentuated with playful silk ribbon. The lovely ladies glided around on opening night to serve cocktails amongst the very best of the local and international art and fashion crowds. Proving the ultimate trifecta of gorgeous decor, the very best music, and jaw-dropping views of this iconic city, The Boom Boom Room may be a vintage-inspired hotspot, but it is most definitely hip, fresh, and now.

Anselm Reyle and Takashi Murakami Open at Gagosian Gallery Chelsea
Gagosian Gallery on West 24th Street was packed on Thursday night for the opening of a major show of Anselm Reyle's new works and an unveiling of Takashi Murakami's latest triptych painting. Berlin based artist Anselm Reyle's show is appropriately titled "Monochrome Age." His monumental sculptures with shiny, lacquered surfaces create vistas within the white cube of the gallery, reflecting its visitors and one another.
Takashi Murakami's 'Picture of Fate: I am but a fisherman who angles in the darkness of his mind' depicts the legend of the "China-lion" in his distinctive superflat style mixing American Pop with Japanese Anime and Otaku content.

"Between Being Born and Dying" at Lever House



Currently on display in the Art Collection at Lever House is an exhibition of American collage artist Barbara Kruger's text-based works. The entire ground floor lobby of Aby Rosen's midtown office building is wrapped with black and white vinyl text. Quotes that Kruger appropriates in this installation include:
"The meaning of life is that it stops." -Kafka
"The globe shrinks for those that own it." -Humi K. Bhabha
And our personal favorite...
"If it laughs, choke it. If it cries, drown it. If it sighs, shame it. If it loves, buy it. If it moves fuck it."
