A BLOCKBUSTER ALEX KATZ retrospective spanning the famed American artist's 80-year career is landing at New York's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. From early sketches of subway riders to new, immersive landscapes, "Alex Katz: Gathering" provides an extensive look at how the artist's interests and style changed over time. This highly anticipated survey showcases paintings, collages, drawings and prints, including his renowned figural and floral works. —AK ALEX KATZ at the GUGGENHEIM VERONICA BEARD IS BACK Get ready for lots more of your favorite Dickey jackets this fall. Following the success of their temporary store in 2019, Veronica Beard returns to Bal Harbour Shops with a permanent space on Level 2. The store's design will feature terrazzo floors, vintage furniture and abstract-print Zoffany fabric, creating an environment that feels perfectly lived-in. What better way to set the tone for the fall/winter collection—which we know you'll pretty much be living in. ANNIE LEIBOVITZ GOES XXL Balmain's New Bag One of Balmain's iconic silhouettes, the 1945 bag, raises its consciousness this season. Presented in vegan leather and in two striking shades of yellow and green, the style is part of the brand's larger sustainability effort. An insider's note: unlike the antique brass hardware used across all of Balmain's bags, the use of silver hardware is unique to this style. Not everyone can get their hands on one of Taschen's SUMO editions, but now they can enjoy a supersized dose of Annie Leibovitz. The self-titled tome, adapted from the collector's edition released in 2014, takes the XXL form and features images hand-picked by Leibovitz from over 40 years of her career. Known for capturing portraits that become iconic, Leibovitz has photographed musicians, artists, politicians and actors, including Steve Martin, Keith Haring and Patti Smith and John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Available at Books & Books.
