At the edge of Hydra, inside a former slaughterhouse overlooking the Aegean Sea, Nari Ward’s Until That Day transforms one of Hydra’s most charged spaces into a meditation on migration, memory and belonging. Created specifically for the
After three decades at the forefront of fashion, Stefano Pilati @stefanopilati chose Berlin as a new starting point. Away from the runway, the campaign and the constant pressure to produce an image, he has created a home that feels intensely personal
There was a time when Berlin’s lack of money seemed inseparable from its abundance of possibility. Empty buildings, low rents and unfinished spaces gave artists room to fail, experiment and begin again. It was never as romantic as it now sounds
Sunday style moodboard: David Hockney, RIP master of art and personal expression. #theartbystander #davidhockney #art #style #styleicon
I recently visited Gerhard Richter’s Overpainted Photographs at LUMA Arles, and found myself returning to these small works with more intensity than to many paintings ten times their size. They begin with ordinary colour snapshots: family gathe
In Bogotá, interior designer and collector Lina Botero Zea @linaboteroz daughter of the late Colombian painter and sculptor Fernando Botero, has created a home in which inheritance is neither preserved at a distance nor reduced to a famous su

The women in Florïne Ïmo’s world are having a good time. They lounge, play, pose, pump petrol, ride motorcycles and carousels, appearing as angels, witches, sluts, princesses and girlbosses, sacred and ridiculous, vulnerable and dange
La Sierrazuela did not begin as an Andalusian lifestyle fantasy. Built in 1750 as a retreat for Jesuit monks, later inhabited by a Sufi community and found on Idealista with mustard-yellow walls and dated fittings, the cortijo outside Arcos de la Fro
Cy Twombly did not use words to make his work easier to read. He allowed them to drift, fracture and disappear until language began to behave like memory. In Proem, made in Rome on 23 November 1983, the title and date float above a pale, cloud-like
In Naples, history is never kept at a respectful distance. It remains visible, inhabited and slightly unruly, and nowhere more seductively than inside Palazzo Cellamare, whose rooms have absorbed centuries of architecture, art and cultural life. Its
Before it was Maison d’Artiste, this was a bergerie, one of the stone sheepfolds that still punctuate the olive groves above Saint-Paul-de-Vence, until French artist and interior designer Jacqueline Morabito took it apart in 1995 and rebuilt it
When Arnold Newman photographed Frank Stella in his New York studio in 1967, Stella was only thirty, yet already one of the most consequential painters of his generation. He sits low in the frame, cigarette between his fingers and paint across his c
