David Yarrow photographed Diego Maradona at the 1986 FIFA World Cup Final in Mexico City, producing one of the three best-selling sports images of all time. The photograph, Maradona (1986), Edition 35 of 40, is available now at Carousel Fine Art's Buckhead gallery in Atlanta as part of The Beautiful Game World Cup exhibition, through July 31, 2026.

Hedgerow Gazette's Summer 2026 issue (pages 98–101) features Carousel Fine Art under the headline "A Curated Approach to Collecting: The Modern Collector's Gallery." The piece, with photography and words credited to Carousel Art Group, profiles founders Laura and Philippe Horowicz and the philosophy behind the gallery's four locations in Miami, West Palm Beach's NORA District, Chicago's River North, and Atlanta's Lenox Square and Buckhead Village, plus advisory services for collectors in New York and the Hamptons. The throughline: collecting art should run through a trusted advisor, not just a gallery transaction.

Alexi Torres (b. 1976, Matanzas, Cuba) builds mythological figures from the woven geometry of a soccer ball in his Game of Life series. Eight large-format oils are on view at Carousel Fine Art's Buckhead gallery in Atlanta through July 31, 2026, as part of "The Beautiful Game" World Cup exhibition. Works are available for acquisition.

A new billboard at Peachtree Road and West Paces Ferry Road, the gateway to Buckhead Village, is carrying David Yarrow's "Spring in Aspen" above Atlanta traffic. The photograph, a vintage blue Cadillac, a wolf-like dog, and a model framed against the Rockies, is part of Yarrow's celebrated Aspen series. Yarrow's work is now on view for the first time at Carousel Fine Art's Buckhead Village gallery (3025 Bolling Way NE) and at its Lenox Square location (3393 Peachtree Rd NE). Here's who Yarrow is, what the billboard is announcing, and what's currently on the walls at both galleries.

Nemo Jantzen is a Dutch contemporary artist whose two signature bodies of work — nail-and-thread portraits and dome pieces built from thousands of embedded photographs — have sold out Art Basel, entered museum collections on three continents, and landed in the hands of Claudia Schiffer, Kobe Bryant, and Ronnie Wood. His work is available through Carousel Fine Art.

Five artists — Michael Kalish, Evelyne Brader-Frank, Audra Weaser, Billy Monsalve Duffo, and Stefania Nazzal — have officially joined the Carousel Fine Art roster. Their work is on view now in Buckhead, Chicago, West Palm Beach, and Lenox Square. Each brings something the room didn't have before.

On May 18, 2026, Christie's New York sold $1.1 billion in art across two back-to-back evening auctions, the highest single-night total in the house's history. Jackson Pollock nearly tripled his record. Brancusi cleared $100 million. Rothko set a new high. And every single work in the S.I. Newhouse collection found a buyer, in under an hour. This is what that means.

Christie's recruited Nicole Kidman to appear in a film promoting Constantin Brancusi's Danaïde ahead of its May 18, 2026 sale. The sculpture sold for $107.6 million — a new record for the artist. The campaign made headlines, but what it reveals about fine art, celebrity culture, and how serious collectors should think is the more interesting story.

Hunt Slonem's bunny paintings are among the most immediately recognizable works in contemporary American art. But their appeal goes well beyond surface charm. For Slonem, painting bunnies is a meditative practice rooted in personal symbolism, spiritual repetition, and a lifelong relationship with the natural world, and for collectors, they are among the most deeply inhabitable works he makes.

Nemo Jantzen is a Dutch contemporary artist born in The Hague in 1970. Trained at the RTO Art Academy in Rotterdam, he built his career across Belgium, Spain, and now New York and Barcelona. He is best known for two signature techniques: hyper-detailed thread-and-nail portraits and neo-pointillist resin dome mosaics. His work appears in major museums, private collections, and leading galleries worldwide.

In the world of contemporary art, few artists operate with the same level of material curiosity and conceptual risk as Sylvain Tremblay. Known for his sculptural paintings and highly textured surfaces, Tremblay has built a practice that exists between disciplines—where painting, sculpture, and performance converge.

In this edition of Art Talk: Artist Interviews, Carousel Fine Art offers collectors a rare, behind-the-scenes look into Sylvain Tremblay’s artistic process, studio residency, and bespoke commission work. The conversation reveals not only how his works are made, but why they resonate so strongly with collectors seeking investment art and one-of-one commissions.
