Claridge + King Think you know Robert Indiana? We're betting the Whitney Museum of American Art will make you think again. The fact that he created the emblematic Love signage is reason enough to make us journey to NYC for this long overdue survey organized by the Whitney that traces the painter's early beginnings to one of the breakthrough moments when he first introduced word play: the verb "Eat" juxtaposed with "Die" (1962). "Robert Indiana: Waylande Beyond LOVE," spanning 50 years, marks Gregory ciggy table the artist's first significant American retrospective (September 26 – January 23, 2014).

Anspon Helix table at Design Within Reach THE LAST DECORATOR STANDING WITHOUT A BOOK IS THE GREAT MARIO BUATTA Robert Indiana's Eat/Die, 1962, at Whitney Museum of American Art Barry Flanagan's Nijinski Hare during the 2012 exhibition at Chatsworth Mario is such a sketch. Finally, his first monograph is out October 8, after a half-century of designing and reinventing the English country house for stateside clients. Mario Buatta: Fifty Years of American Interior Decoration (Rizzoli, $75) showcases city and country residences for clients such as Henry Ford II, Barbara Walters, and Malcolm Forbes, and includes a romp through the heady New York social stratum from evenings at Mortimer's to a look back at Buatta's infamous Prince of Chintz cover for Manhattan Inc. magazine, along with dazzling insidery details of a dapper and witty life. Holly Moore WICK[ED] ART EN PLEIN AIR W e would go to Chatsworth for the spring house cleaning, if invited, but Sotheby's annual selling exhibition at this ancestral seat of the patrician Duke and Duchess of Devonshire (Debo, as she's known, is the last surviving member of the fabled Mitford sisters and mother to England's chicest chicks) is most compelling. Chatsworth, set in Derbyshire's idyllic Peak District, morphs into the most picturesque auction house September 7 through October 28 at Sotheby's art exhibition, Beyond Limits, which began in 2006. This year's sale features a single artist for the first time: Barry Flanagan, the late British sculptor best known for his curious hares that evoke movement.
