The Artful Life: 8 Things Galerie Editors Love This Week

1. Lowcountry Hideaway The Dunlin Adds Charming Waterfront Bungalows

It’s hard to resist the cosseting service that is Southern hospitality—and Johns Island, South Carolina, retreat The Dunlin may be the most welcoming of them all. Now, guests checking into the Auberge Collection hotel have even more elegant accommodations to choose from with the addition of two new Riverfront Bungalows. Designed by Amanda Lindroth, who also conceived the interiors of the main property, these breezy standalone suites offer picturesque views of the Kiawah River from their private terraces. Inside, coastal charm reverberates across light-as-air linens, rattan furnishings, and a palette of soft blues, greens, and cream. While each of the bungalows comes equipped with fully-stocked kitchenettes and dining tables, visitors will still want to explore the rest of the beautiful property, where mouthwatering Southern meals are served in the sweet-as-pie restaurant Linnette’s and rejuvenating spa treatments are hosted in the Aster Spa.—Jill Sieracki

2. IFPDA Print Fair Returns to Park Avenue Armory

Running April 9 through 11, New York City’s storied Park Avenue Armory will be home to over five centuries of artworks dedicated to prints and editions. This edition of the IFPDA Print Fair features 80 exhibitors from countries ranging from Stockholm to Singapore, where rarely seen masterpieces spanning from 15th-century prints to modern-day editions bring a whole new perspective to this historic medium. In addition to an impressive roster of galleries and keynote talks with noted artists, including Derrick Adams and Hank Willis Thomas, this year marks an exciting expansion of the fair. For the first time, private dealers specializing in drawings from the old masters to the contemporary will be included in the presentation, speaking to the rising popularity in the art form and artists dedicated to the craft. Tickets to the fair are available here. — Shelby Black

3. L.A. Eyeworks Reimagines Its West Hollywood Flagship as a Warholian Landmark

Shortly after opticians Gai Gherardi and Barbara McReynolds founded L.A. Eyeworks in 1979, they launched a print campaign of stark back-and-white portraits featuring cultural figures in bold frames with the tagline “A face is like a work of art. It deserves a great frame.” Andy Warhol asked to star in the campaign, which launched in his Interview magazine and attracted stars such as Debbie Harry and RuPaul. Four decades later, that legacy unfolds throughout the brand’s new West Hollywood flagship, designed by Escher GuneWardena Architecture. The campus repurposes two former nursery buildings and introduces a sculptural interior envelope derived from insulation, rendered as cloudlike volumes that hover above the retail floor. Crystalline vertical displays present eyewear as collectible objects, while a dense silver coating cloaks many of the surfaces—a direct nod to Warhol’s foil-wrapped Factory—and casts a luminous sheen across the interiors and exterior pergola. —Ryan Waddoups

4. Wheels Up and Illustrator Meagan Morrison Offer Masters Patrons a Keepsake Like No Other

When the Masters tournament tees off in Augusta this week, patrons with access to the exclusive Wheels Up Clubhouse will have the chance to take home a one-of-a-kind keepsake that perfectly captures the moment despite the tournament’s strict no-phone policy. Inside the clubhouse experience, fashion illustrator Meagan Morrison of Travel.Write.Draw. will be on hand for custom, live drawings that capture guests’ championship looks set against the iconic landscape of Augusta National. Additionally, Wheels Up is welcoming back Skratch Studio as the official content hub with live podcasts and tournament analysis for guests, while cocktail ambassador Tyler Zielinski will bring the UP Minibar back with his signature tiny cocktails.—Alexandria Sillo

5. Charlap Hyman & Herrero Introduce Witty Alpaca Rugs for Patterson Flynn

Adam Charlap Hyman and Andre Herrero of the design firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero drew on centuries of influences for their fourth and latest collection for luxury carpet company Patterson Flynn. Each black-and-white rug depicts a member of the animal kingdom, and promises to bring humor and taste to the room. The designers were inspired by Alexander Calder, 18th- and 19th-century livestock paintings, and Surrealism. However, you don’t need to know everything about the diverse creative sources to enjoy the friendly spotted elephant, the simple lines of the nautilus or the soft feeling of the rugs. —Rena Gross

6. New Directors/New Films Opens at MoMA and Lincoln Center

For anyone who prefers catching a filmmaker before the rest of the world starts claiming they always knew of them, New Directors/New Films remains one of New York’s smartest tickets. Presented by Film at the Lincoln Center and MoMA, the long-running series—known for screening auteurs like Spike Lee, Pedro Almodóvar, Yorgos Lanthimos, Wong Kar-Wai, and Kelly Reichardt before the rest of the world caught on—returns for its 55th edition. From April 8 through 19, this year’s program brings 24 features and ten shorts to screens across both institutions. The lineup opens with Adrian Chiarella’s Leviticus, a Sundance breakout that begins with a church-led campaign to “correct” queer teenagers in a small Australian town before veering into feral, full-throttle slasher territory. Rosanne Pel’s Donkey Days, a flinty, darkly funny portrait of two adult sisters still clawing for their mother’s approval, closes the series. In between are plenty of reasons to camp out in a theater seat: Charli XCX opposite Jeremy O. Harris in the Warsaw-set couples-on-vacation film Erupcja; Chronovisor, a 16mm mystery following a Columbia scholar pulled into a Vatican-adjacent time-travel conspiracy; and Sho Miyako’s Golden Leopard winner Two Seasons, Two Strangers, which builds an entire love story around the steam coming off a bowl of noodles and fogged-up glasses. Consider it a first look at cinema’s next names to know. —Gogo Taubman

7. Ann Sacks Debuts Atelier Forme Collection of Architectural Tiles

As homeowners continually raise the bar on spa-like residential baths, beautiful bars, and kitchens as fabulous as they are functional, designers seek out new materials in powerhouse colors, striking patterns, and sculptural shapes to help elevate an inspired interior. The latest initiative comes from Ann Sacks, which just debuted its Atelier Forme collection of fine marble tiles in flat, pyramid, and dome shapes. Available in Amelie, Arabescato Orobico, Crystal Wood, Lotus Green, Rosso Levanto, Silver Wave, and Verde Luna stone, the assortment draws inspiration from the ornamental battlements, carved motifs, and bold shades of the Pena Palace in Portugal. The multidimensional pieces—which come in two sizes—are gently honed to give a soft touch to their eye-catching design. Whether used in a swath of matching colors or mixed and matched, the tiles can visually transform the look of shower walls, fireplace surrounds, and kitchen backsplashes, as well as some outdoor areas. And with the collection’s varying degrees of veining, the Atelier Forme elements are small details that make a big impact.—J.S.

8. A Dazzling Pop-Up Puts Technogym’s Latest Collection on Handsome Display

Technogym has long explored how its state-of-the-art wellness equipment can seamlessly inhabit high-end residences, and a new pop-up in Lower Manhattan is advancing that idea with a four-day installation inside the Artemest penthouse at 125 Greenwich Street, the residential supertall designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects. Developed with March & White Design and Artemest, the penthouse presents a continuous sequence of rooms that showcase how wellness can integrate into daily life, allowing visitors to encounter each piece as they would within a private home. The setting marks the U.S. debut of the Sand Stone collection, a series defined by surfaces and finishes inspired by the Mediterranean landscape. Speckled casings with natural mica, warm titanium details, and tactile clay elements all sit alongside beech and ash wood, creating a material language that meshes beautifully with the penthouse’s understated interiors. Within this sky-high setting, Technogym Checkup offers an AI-driven assessment of body composition, mobility, and cognitive performance, which then generates a fully personalized precision training program that works across the brand’s suite of exercise equipment. The installation will be open through April 10. —R.W.
