Contemporary art is about to take over luxury retail enclaves on the eastern seaboard.

On September 18, Deborah Kass will unveil 39 banners and one billboard — commissioned especially for high-end shopping strip The Street in Chestnut Hill, MA — as part of a series of outdoor exhibitions and public art installation project presented by WS Development and Art Production Fund.

The banners will depict many of Brooklyn-based Kass’s iconic works, such as "C’mon Get Happy," "Forget Your Troubles," "Sweet Thing," "We Will Be Young Forever" and "Let The Sunshine In" — letting her signature punchy, abstract expressionist style flank the center’s public areas.

Louise Lawler Heads to the High Line

Photographer Louise Lawler will be the next artist to fill the billboard located at the base of the High Line -- New York’s elevated, linear park. The image, which depicts a room at Sotheby’s that contains works by Minimalist and Conceptual art icons Frank Stella, Sol Lewitt, and Donald Judd, is the 15th installation in the High Line’s billboard series. Other artists who have participated in the public art project include the Conceptual artist John Baldessari, photographer Robert Adams, and the British artist David Shrigley.

In the early 1970s, Lawler began looking critically at the ways in which art was displayed outside of the artist’s studio. She began photographing other artists’ works on view in collectors’ homes, in storage spaces, and on view at auction houses, challenging the viewer to think about the context in which works of art are displayed and documented.
