2. Phillips X Presents Rare Roy Lichtenstein Works Made for Gianni Versace
A pair of Greco-Roman inspired artworks that artist Roy Lichtenstein created for Gianni Versace will go on view August 12 at Phillips X, the auction house’s Southampton exhibition space. Titled “Roy Lichtenstein: Diana & Ajax,” the show features two finished paintings, Interior with Diana and Interior with Ajax, which were originally slated to hang in the legendary Italian fashion designer’s Milan home. But after Versace’s shocking July 1997 murder, the expressive pieces—which feature the Lichtenstein’s signature Benday dots—were displayed in the Versace New York townhouse, per the wishes of his sister Donatella Versace. The exhibition, on view through September 6, will juxtapose the two paintings with other significant works by the artist such as Girl in Mirror, 1964 and Shipyard Girl, 1965. —Geoffrey Montes

3. Elena Frampton Introduces Lighting Collaboration with Dumais Made
Inside her airy Bridgehampton gallery, Elena Frampton displays wildly imaginative furniture and design pieces, such as Nick Missel’s eye-catching silicone benches and the Arc desk, a curved form presented in high-gloss lacquer from her private label, F Collection. The newest offering, Verdant, was made in conjunction with the Connecticut-based pottery studio founded by Charlie and Kevin Dumais, Dumais Made, and transforms carved blocks of white stoneware clay into striking bases for table and floor lamps. “I was immediately drawn to Dumais Made’s sculptural forms,” explains Frampton. “Kevin and Charlie have truly mastered their craft and modernist vision. I wanted to reinterpret their aesthetic with a distinctly colorful edge and harness the energy that has made the East End so popular among artists for decades.” Comprised of smooth and textured blocks and cylinders, each enhanced with hand-poured washes of chartreuse and bottle green, the one-of-a-kind pieces are available at Exhibition the Barn. —Jill Sieracki

4. “Larry Bell & John Chamberlain” Opens at Hauser & Wirth, Los Angeles
Iridescent cubes and metallic “vapor” drawings by pioneering artists Larry Bell and John Chamberlain fill Hauser & Wirth’s Los Angeles gallery. These innovative artworks are examples of how a 60-year friendship between the two iconic American artists influenced the artistic practice and trajectory of their fruitful careers. Having met at L.A.’s Ferus Gallery in 1962, Bell and Chamberlain formed a bond as both roommates and studio mates. Their common drive to transform industrial materials into impactful works of art led to new methods of making, such as the vacuum deposition chamber or “The Tank,” which helped to transform ordinary glass into magnificent sculptures. “Larry Bell & John Chamberlain” examines the artists’ dialogue through plexiglass sculptures, coated-glass cubes, rare works on paper, and more. On view through October 2, the show also features a couch by Chamberlin titled Wiley’s Island II, 1997, which provides a place for visitors to sit and reflect among a collection of photographs taken by Chamberlain using the Widelux camera gifted to him by Bell. —Stefanie Li
