At the Art Miami fair over the weekend, we found two thoughtfully layered mixed-media works, one by Tony Soulie and another by Fernando Adam, that may still be available from galleries based in Paris and Los Angeles—act fast, as they say on the QVC.

In Milan, haunting works by Rosa Martinez-Artero and Agostino Arrivabene caught our eyes at Galleria Antonia Jannone, in addition to a recent and very strong example of one of Alessandro Busci’s paintings of industrialized landscapes.

Moving from evocative and melancholy painting to gallows humor, we also singled out three of Fausto Gilberti’s pencil drawings that feature his signature robed stick figures negotiating death, pop music and many other Edward Gory-inspired situations.

Over in New York, our selections range from emerging artists to long-established talent.

The combinations of material in Jeffrey Brosk’s constructions reward scrutiny at Neuhoff Gallery, but we are giving our award for most compelling exhibition title to D’Amelio Terras’ new show “The Loss of History Makes them Constantly Curious and Continuously Horny,” which includes standout work by Chuck Nanney and Sam Samore—who has a concurrent solo show at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center.

While Adam Bartos’ photographs at Yossi Milo distill a pungent essence of late-1970s L.A. through depopulated streets and interiors, much of the work on view in NYC that we have selected has a social bend.

From one of the best shows to open in the first weeks of the new year, we feature two photographs from Brian Ulrich’s ongoing dissection of American shopping culture.

Meanwhile, Leah Tinari adds an unusual perspective to the party photograph genre with her painted renditions of debauched scenarios. And Peter McClennan overlays forms found in graffiti with flowers, branches, weeds and other similarly shaped plant life.
