Chiquita Banana
Paintings crammed with matriarchs, wrestlers, and girls wearing bananas on their heads—where quite a lot more is going on than first appears.
Galleries
A collection of 422 issues
The Lighthouse
Using a darkened home, precisely placed mirrors, and the occasional judicious cut in a wall, light becomes sculpture.
Artist for the Trees
Intricate designs found in large-scale, labor-intensive relief prints made from the cross sections of trees and lumber.
Little, Big
Irresistible paintings don’t always need giant frames. An interview with the painter who electrified this year’s Whitney Biennial.
Priti Baiks
Portraits of young men in Panama showing off their bikes—strikingly decorated, variously macho, and altogether “priti.”
Photographs for 18 Photographers
Scott Hazard’s photo constructs turn images into fabrications of depth and imagination. The eye lingers not only on the image, but in the image, as though something is waiting deeper inside.
Individuals at War
Photographs of people at war by the co-director of “Restrepo,” from an upcoming show at New York’s Yossi Milo Gallery.
The Setup
Selections from three series—one in the studio and two in the street—where the photographer waits until his subject finds a moment of perfect lighting.
How I Learned to Love the Bomb
Elegance found inside an Arizona parking lot of retired B-52 bombers, where function and form can be equally disturbing.
Car Poolers
Imagine the people you see on your morning commute—sleepy, bored, stoic. Now picture them jammed together in the bed of a truck, speeding down the highway to work. Photographs of Mexico’s hidden (literally) class of workers.
