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.”

Had a great night at the @hafftka opening at @lubov_nyc Saturday.

An electrifying opening at 𝙇𝙐𝘽𝙊𝙑 𝙂𝘼𝙇𝙇𝙀𝙍𝙔 @lubov_nyc for 𝗠𝗜𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗘𝗟 𝗛𝗔𝗙𝗙𝗧𝗞𝗔'𝗦 '𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦' @hafftka
For 53 years, Hafftka has remained fiercely original, uncompromising in his artistic vision. 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.

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.”

when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror”

Art is more than a beautiful addition to a home. It brings history, emotion, and meaning into the spaces we live in. Every piece tells a story, reflects an artist’s vision, and becomes part of your own history.
Art is not simply what you bring into your home. It is part of the legacy you leave behind for generations to come.
This week, the spotlight is on Michael Hafftka.

Michael Hafftka’s expressive brushstrokes, rich textures, and emotionally charged compositions bring a compelling human presence into this architectural setting.
A beautiful dialogue between contemporary art, architecture, and design, where the artwork becomes the soul of the space.
