Ben Aronson’s “Urban Currents,” currently on view, is the second installment of his cityscapes at the Tibor de Nagy Gallery. Mr. Aronson’s photo-realistic brushwork is at once detailed and hazy. Anyone who has walked Paris’s labyrinth of charming, narrow streets will likely recognize the intersection captured in “Rising Shadows, Boulevard Saint Germain” (2008). Mr. Aronson “turns a tourist snapshot into an essay on movement and color,” Maureen Mullarkey wrote of the work in the April 10 New York Sun.
Fausto Melotti was one of the most important Italian sculptors and mixed-media artists of the 20th century. The first American retrospective of his work will open at Acquavella Galleries, which will exhibit approximately 65 works loaned from the artist’s estate, international museums, and private collections. A contemporary of Alexander Calder and fellow art student Lucio Fontana, Melotti believed in construction as a modern way of creating sculpture. He also used machine-inspired visuals to express three-dimensional symbols and signs. Monday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.
