Join us for the opening of Clever, Quick, Magnetic: The Art of Witty Banter. Curated by acclaimed artist David Salle, this exhibition explores the relationships between paintings that may appear visually distinct yet share underlying connections. Bringing together works by leading contemporary artists, the exhibition considers how intention, style, and artistic decision-making shape the experience of looking.

Enjoy an ArtDesk Conversation with guest curator David Salle and Nate Freeman, celebrated art correspondent for Vanity Fair magazine.

Guests are invited to explore the exhibition and enjoy a reception featuring drinks, light refreshments, and the opportunity to connect with fellow arts supporters.
