NEW SEPTEMBER OPENINGS
Lorna Simpson1985 — 92 HAUSER & WIRTH 69TH STREET GALLERY 7 SEP – 22 OCT 2022
Born in Brooklyn, Lorna Simpson came to prominence in the 1980s with her pioneering approach to conceptual photography. Occupying all three floors of the gallery’s 69th Street location, this exhibition traces the impact and enduring influence of Simpson’s earliest output from the 1980s and 90s, with a selection of works on loan from major museums, private collections and the artist’s studio.
Masaomi Yasunaga
LISSON GALLERY 508 WEST 24TH STREET 8 SEPTEMBER – 15 OCTOBER 2022 For his first exhibition in New York since joining Lisson Gallery in April 2021, Masaomi Yasunaga presents a large body of new experimental ceramic work. Combined with unique raw materials such as feldspars, rocks, metal or glass powders, Yasunaga’s forms are buried in various strata of sand or kaolin to preserve their structure in the firing stage. Exquisite!
Hughie Lee-Smith
KARMA 22 EAST 2ND STREET AUGUST 3–SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 Karma is pleased to present a solo exhibition of paintings by Hughie Lee-Smith. The surreal compositions of Lee-Smith (b. 1915, Eustis, Florida; d. 1999, Albuquerque, New Mexico) reflect the social alienation of mid-twentieth century American life. The exhibition will run from August 3rd to September 17th, 2022 at 22 East 2nd Street, New York. Hughie Lee-Smith’s body of work spans nearly seven decades. He came of age in the midst of the Great Depression, spending his early life primarily between Cleveland and Detroit. His teaching took him to the East Coast, where he was artist in residence at Howard University in Washington, DC and later an instructor at the Art Students League of New York. Lee-Smith left behind an idiosyncratic body of work, the summation of a lifelong effort to see beyond the real.

A Strange Loop
LYCEUM THEATRE 149 W 45TH STREET Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, Michael R. Jackson’s Pulitzer Prize–winning, funny work exposes the heart and soul of a young artist grappling with desires, identity, and instincts he both loves and loathes. Hell-bent on breaking free of his own self-perception, Usher wrestles with the thoughts in his head, brought to life on stage by a hilarious, straight-shooting ensemble. Bold and heartfelt in its truth-telling.

Manhattan median sales price rose to a record high while the average sales price reached its third-highest. The number of sales increased to the highest total for a second-quarter since 2007. Cash buyer market share rose to the third-highest tracked, rebounding from the low recorded five quarters ago. Co-op median sales price rose to the highest on record, the fifth straight year-over-year gain. Condo median sales price also rose to the highest on record, the third straight year-over-year gain. Listing inventory for condos saw the largest first to secondquarter rise in at least eight years. Overall luxury price trend indicators continued to rise year over year. The number of new development sales more than doubled from the same period last year while new development listing inventory increased sharply year over year for the third consecutive quarter.
MANHATTAN MARKET Q2 HIGHLIGHTS
Price trends in the Hamptons pressed higher as sales volume slowed, responding to a combination of lack of supply and rising mortgage rates. The median sales price has reached both record and near-record levels for nine consecutive quarters. Bidding wars accounted for one out of three sales during the quarter. Listing inventory rose quarter over quarter from a record low to the third lowest on record. HAMPTONS MARKET Q2 HIGHLIGHTS
After being restrained by the chronic lack of listing inventory, for more than a year, rising mortgage rates, financial market volatility, and other related items such as inflation and the impact of the war have pivoted the housing market from a frenzied 24-hour market to a more normalized two-to-three month market. The Florida housing market still continues to benefit from the remote work phenomenon and favorable tax policy. While listing inventory continued its multi-year trend of year over year declines, supply generally rose quarterly at high rates. Despite the increases, supply remained sharply below pre-pandemic levels keeping upward pressure on prices.
PALM BEACH MARKET Q2 HIGHLIGHTS
I hope you have enjoyed CityNotes!
