TO DO: Head Gas, Surf Art & Polo

Apr 22 2012

NEW YORK

“Head Gas” is the first New York exhibition by Italian-born, Berlin-based artist Enrico David. Over the past twenty years, David has produced a body of work encompassing painting, drawing, sculpture, and collage that draws upon a rich variety of sources and expresses a range of complex emotional states. Although his work is highly celebrated throughout Europe—the artist was among the nominees for the 2009 Turner Prize, for example—David’s work has rarely been exhibited in the United States. The New Yorker describes one of the drawings as, “a tornado of lines converg[ing] into a figure so regal yet ethereal you may find yourself thinking of Klimt.” Through April 22.

MIAMI

What’s that odd scent in the air? Smells like ocean air, horse poop and Hermès. Ah yes, must be time for the Miami Beach Polo World Cup. Every spring for the past seven years, the Wellington and Palm Beach set slum it down in Miami as the sport of kings goes beachside. The three-day tournament features an international lineup with your requisite Argentinians, Brazilians and Britons all competing for the La Martina Trophy. Did we mention Nacho is in town? Nacho is in town.
