Backyard Politics, 1998 Oil on linen 62 x 78 inches @hafftka solo exhibition is on view at the gallery through December 19 ⭐️ 03 Nov 2026 Michael Hafftka’s solo exhibition, “They Are Always Here” opens next Saturday, October 24th, 6-9pm ✨ “There are two kinds of people Michael Hafftka will lose in an instant with the painting on the invitation, and only one of them is lost because of the cunnilingus. The other kind is lost at the face, done in six or seven strokes with the aesthetic of a child and the confidence of an adult. They will allow this distortion from a child, or a dead European, or Julian Schnabel. From a veteran painter they know only in passing, one who stands just outside the canon, their belief in their own taste has no life raft. They cannot tell clumsiness from conviction and will not be won over.” — Kevin Tobin 437 likes · 34 comments · 15 Oct 2026 @toughpoets_review is kickstarting the publication of their fall-winter issue with a print of my portrait of @richard_siken All proceeds go to Tough Poets Review, a nonprofit print only magazine.

To witness a new generation of painters celebrating his work is proof that true artistic vision transcends generations. With works in the permanent collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, MOMA, the Brooklyn Museum, Carnegie Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, and British Museum, among others, Hafftka’s legacy is undeniable. True original. A singular vision. An artistic light that will never fade. 26 Oct 2026 Michael Hafftka’s solo exhibition “They Are Always Here” opens today, 10/24 from 6-9pm ‼️ @hafftka 24 Oct 2026 — Francisco Correa Cordero Is gone, and that hurts a lot. But his gallery, Lubov, may yet live thanks to Kristen Wasik and Mode Bonafilia. First post-Francisco show: Michael Hafftka, upcoming in November. If Ivan Albright had knocked up Celia Paul. Divine. As the ruthlessly uninhibited artist and writer Kevin Tobin writes: “There are two kinds of people Michael Hafftka will lose in an instant with the painting on the invitation, and only one of them is lost because of the cunnilingus.” — Michael Hafftka Adoration 1994 438 likes · 22 comments · 14 Oct 2026 Aftermath 2026 14” X 11” oil on linen 308 likes · 65 comments · 07 Oct 2026 Self Portrait, 2026 14” × 11” Oil on linen “The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror” Derek Walcott, from “Love After Love” 402 likes · 68 comments · 03 Oct 2026 Art is more than a beautiful addition to a home.
