Art for the Autumnal Eye

An editorial guide of artwork selections to inspire your gallery visits this season

Sep 12, 2025

Good morning everyone! I am bursting at the seams to share the artworks below with you on this beautiful fall morning. Unintentionally, I selected works with a running theme of reverence and a touch of mysticism.

As usual, there is a mix of artists whose work I am just now discovering, such as Olive Diamond who Galerie Magazine featured as the Next Big Thing, and artists I have been following for years, such as Kate Pincus-Whitney, whose work is so sumptuous it’s almost mean that the subject matter is food (Nom Wah Tea Parlor dim sum in the piece below to be exact).

I want to highlight AJ Liberto’s striking and literally impactful sculptures, as he has not one but TWO exhibitions this fall! Nina Hartmann forever remains a highlight of this newsletter, and I am delighted to include one of her works here. Keep her on your radar: she has an upcoming solo show in New York next month. I am also thrilled to offer the lovely XIYADIE artwork after encountering his work in the Venice Biennale last year and at the Drawing Center the previous year.

As for the pipeline of projects, NADA Collects has launched and our inaugural programming is now live! This initiative is designed to welcome new and curious collectors into the contemporary art world through monthly educational events with access to gallery previews, salons, and curated gallery walks.

The early support from partnering institutions and organizations has already been overwhelmingly positive, and I am confident this first year will provide NADA Collects members with meaningful experiences and a thoughtful introduction to exceptional artworks. Please share this initiative with friends, colleagues, and anyone curious about beginning their art collecting journey!

Speaking of curated gallery walks, check out my featured list on the Showrunner app! The app provides a map of my selections, making it easy to follow a curated route between shows. My Showrunner list spotlights the downtown vanguard galleries and serves as a tribute to gallerists who champion artists and cultivate the next generation of cultural stewards.

A heartfelt thank you to my paid subscribers, who will have early access to new works at People’s in the next edition, along with an invitation to a special event at People’s next week!

Enjoy today’s newsletter and please let me know what you think of the works!
