Galleries
A collection of 422 issues
Farce and Sensibility
Paintings of peculiar worlds where butterflies sizzle in frying pans. The more you pay attention, the less you’ll understand.
Ghosts in the Sunlight
Female subjects painted in classics by old masters—“Diana After the Hunt,” “The Rape of Europa”—get their voices restored, and with them new narratives and powers.
Magnetic Dust
Paintings made from commercial cassette tape can’t help but embrace a sense of decay that’s inherent to the material.
Woman in My Heart
Portraits of a queer community in South India treat gender, biology, art, and family with emotional nuance—no exoticism in sight.

Terminal Bar
Portraits of the hustlers, businesswomen, singers, and teachers who were regulars at one of Manhattan’s most notorious dives.
