ELLE DECOR

THE ART ISSUE

STRANGER THINGS • Designers and makers are reimagining familiar materials to create otherworldly objects. Here are our favorites.

GET PAINT EVERYWHERE • This season, bring the art gallery home with furniture and accessories that embrace the bold brushstrokes and soft touches of paint and watercolor. Looking to really make a statement? Pair them with an eye-catching ensemble.

THE AGENDA • This month’s must-see art and design openings in New York City (and beyond).

PUT A PIN IN THAT • Collaborations might be au courant, but at the Spanish fashion label Loewe, joint creative labor has been part of its modus operandi since the house’s founding in 1846. Its spring show in Paris was a platform for visionary American artist Lynda Benglis, who has produced category-bending work across media—paintings that reside on floors rather than canvases, satirical photography sending up the art world—for six decades. Models wended their way along a runway dotted with Benglis’s bronze sculptures and dressed in the wearable works the artist created with the brand: rings, oversize cuffs, textured brooches, and crystal-encrusted ear climbers and pendants, all in raw, dynamic shapes radiating vitality.

MICHÈLE LAMY • The French provocateur and consummate art insider shares eight things that keep her inspired, grounded, and engaged with the world.

BOY WONDER • Design prodigy Edgar Jayet weaves literature and history into works recognized with a major French honor.

THE MARKET WHISPERER • How a former banker became Manhattan’s latest career-making gallerist.

WORKS ON PAPER • Round out your home gallery with wallcoverings as eye-catching as the art.

THE ART ISSUE • A well-placed painting can make a room. But why stop there? The homes in these pages showcase all kinds of collections, from sculpture to multimedia works. Welcome to a life with art.

Dealer Wins • In rural Normandy, Parisian gallerist François Laffanour turns a historic property into a showcase for modern art and design.

Is This Heaven? • The owner of this high-style, art-filled Manhattan apartment by Kelly Behun would say yes.
