High Line Art, the elevated public park’s art program, has announced its next season of commissions beginning in spring 2026. In March, Katherine Bernhardt’s Spring Cleaning (2026) will take over the High Line Billboard at 18th Street, followed in April by three large-scale park installations: Patricia Ayres’ sculptural dress-form works; Ximena Garrido-Lecca’s nine-foot bronze corn-cob fountain; and Derek Fordjour’s painted bronze figures of Black subjects alongside his mural Backbreaker Double. The High Line Channel near 14th Street will also screen works by Saba Khan and Fantasy Futbol, a trio of films examining soccer by Marianna Simnett, Filip Kostic, and Ana Hušman.

After a seven-year hiatus, Public School NY officially returned to the New York Fashion Week runway with designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne presenting their Fall/Winter 2026 menswear collection, emphasizing their matured vision and upgraded production while staying true to the brand’s foundational ethos.

The presentation also revealed new collaborative footwear with Nike and Jordan Brand, including an all-black Public School Air Jordan 15 and a Nike Air Max Goadome Cowboy Boot, signaling a continuation of key brand partnerships within the collection.

The sectional allows for new configurations with the collection’s original sofas. The accompanying Pawson Drift Tables—designed with a subtle “shadow gap” to create a floating effect—are offered in stone or solid wood tops with oak or walnut bases, reflecting Pawson’s minimalist approach.
Richard Neutra’s Sale House hits the market for $5.3 million
The Richard Neutra-designed Sale House, a 1960 mid-century modern residence perched at the highest point of Tigertail Road in Brentwood’s Crestwood Hills, is on the market for $5,295,000. The restored home retains many original Neutra features—including built-in furniture, wall-length desks, mosaics by original homeowner Elsa Sale, the original pool and diving board, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls framing views of the city and Pacific Ocean—while thoughtful 2020–2021 restoration preserved architectural integrity and integrated modern comforts. Set on just over an acre adjacent to permanently protected land and landscaped by Ivette Soler Gardens, the property exemplifies Neutra’s philosophy of indoor-outdoor living and connection to nature within a historic modernist enclave.
