Fall is typically considered back-to-school for the art world, and this fall there are so many exciting exhibitions to visit. First, Korean-born, London-based, artist Do Ho Suh, who has long imagined innovative ways of showing the preciousness of the places we call “home” is having his first solo show in New York in eight years. He has documented the different places he has lived by taking precise measurements and re-creating these places, or objects within them, as intricate fabric sculptures (see image above). If you are in New York, don’t miss his show at Lehmann Maupin which is up now through October 29.

Other must-see exhibitions this fall include the Alex Katz Retrospective at the Guggenheim (opens October 21) and the Edward Hopper show at the Whitney (opens October 19). In Miami, don’t miss Adopted Landscapes at Collective 62 (closes November 15) and the immersive Chromosaturation at PAMM (see image below). Last, in the Bay Area, East of the Pacific: Making Histories of Asian American Art, just opened and is the first of the inaugural exhibitions for the groundbreaking Asian American Art Initiative at the Cantor at Stanford.

Looking ahead to November, Christie’s will be auctioning off Paul Allen’s art collection, valued at over $1 billion, with all proceeds going to philanthropy. The Microsoft co-founder was an avid art collector, who had a true passion for living with works of art. I really enjoyed reading this piece in which he recounts childhood memories of how his parents encouraged him to draw and paint. For a man primarily remembered for his contribution to the tech world, it is fascinating to learn more about this other beloved aspect of his life.
