Born in Berlin in 1931, artist Frank Auerbach was sent to England alone as an eight-year-old refugee to escape Nazi Germany, leaving behind his Jewish parents, who would later lose their lives in a concentration camp. Settling in the country permanently, Auerbach would go on to study at the Royal College of Art, developing a distinctive style that involved repeatedly scraping layers of wet paint off his canvases, before beginning again, lending his works the visceral, evocative edge that he is celebrated for. Auerbach rarely left England, working in the same London studio from the 1950s until his death last year. Now his work returns to the place of his birth in his first posthumous exhibition, which is also his first in the city. Showing at Galerie Michael Werner, it…

When my husband tells our origin story – the first weekend we went away together – it always begins with how I proposed we go to Palm Springs for the weekend. Even though he couldn’t afford it, he had just received a new credit card with a $5,000 limit, and called his travel agent, Jimmy at Altour Travel, to see if he could find him a flight. Jimmy’s ‘You met a girl’ line is always a part of it, complete with an American-Italian accent (think Tony Soprano). Not to turn this into a ‘remember the good old days’ story, but back then, you talked to people, and they helped you with a task you wouldn’t have been able to do on your own. You wanted to go to a restaurant…

Annika Kafcaloudis T-shirt, Greece ‘I think of photography as the perfect clutter-free memento,’ says Melbourne-based still-life photographer Annika Kafcaloudis. With a practice focused on objects and creative labour, it was only a matter of time before she scoured her parents’ own collection of travel relics for inspiration. ‘They are a time capsule to a different era and speak so much to the way things were.’ Among Egyptian alabaster candleholders and Papua New Guinean feathered masks, it was their assortment of cotton shirts with raglan sleeves and proper dye transfer that made her flick her camera. Case in point is her depiction of an anodyne T-shirt from the Greek island of Kastellorizo, from where her parents emigrated to Australia. She muses, ‘Thirty-something years later, with good washing and line drying, it’s…

On a quiet street in London’s Notting Hill sits an unusual-looking building, its whitewashed façade punctuated by three arched, stained glass windows. An unassuming doorway, painted gloss black, keeps its original wrought iron handle as a marker of the building’s 150-year age. There’s little indication as to what might be behind it, but this is the London flagship clinic of facialist Teresa Tarmey. Inside, she offers her own blend of tried-and-tested methods and high-tech procedures: cleansing and extraction, muscle-toning massage and gentle peels, microneedling, LED and laser are the foundations of her practice. ‘My whole career trajectory has been such a slow and organic process,’ says Tarmey, who hails from Doncaster, but moved to London in 2008, where she steadily became a cult ‘need to know’ name among a network…

Our story was shot in and around Las Vegas’ Bellagio hotel and casino, whose fountain shows have become one of the city’s signature attractions. The hotel is operated by MGM Resorts, which has recently invested in an extensive, multi-million dollar renovation of the rooms and suites in its main and spa towers, as well as launching The Pinky Ring cocktail lounge, designed by Yabu Pushelberg in collaboration with Bruno Mars. bellagio.mgmresorts.com Model: Birgit Kos at The Society NY.

Picture the scene: you are brought to your hotel suite along a softly carpeted corridor to a space so beautifully appointed that you realise you just don’t want to leave it that night. What about dinner? Luckily, the room service menu is at hand. Perusing it, you consider an array of enticing options. Then you begin your evening by filling the magnificent bathtub, sinking into the bubbles and contemplating the view over a couple of cocktails while you anticipate the arrival of your chosen dishes. In these Deliveroo days, dinner to your door is a familiar concept, but it’s usually the kind that comes on a bike and is handed over in a paper bag. Very convenient, but the kind of service we are celebrating here is a different affair…

Task master It’s all in the detail for the latest model in Fujifilm’s GFX series Few old-school camera companies are quite as in demand as Fujifilm. Hot off the back of the cult success of the X100V, the Japanese manufacturer has now launched the GFX100RF. With its detail-rich 102-megapixel resolution, this latest addition to the GFX series is also the lightest, an aluminium-bodied fixed lens camera that combines back-to-basic simplicity with advanced image processing. One notable innovation is the aspect ratio dial, which allows you to switch between nine different shooting formats, from the cinematic framing of 16:9 to the large format ratio of 5:4. The rear LCD monitor adapts to illustrate the chosen framing and the newly developed lens is flexible for a wide variety of tasks, from landscape…

‘We wanted to create workwear that was functional for both digging for records and farming’ Kameari, in Tokyo’s east, is not one of the city’s most well-known districts, but the Skwat Kameari Art Centre (SKAC), led by architect Keisuke Nakamura, is hoping to rewrite this narrative. At its heart is Vinyl Delivery Service (VDS), a record store founded by Rintaro Sekizuka, whose interest in music, sustainability and community is reshaping vinyl culture as a vehicle for local renewal and ecological consciousness. When Sekizuka opened VDS in its former central location at Shinjuku Gyoen in 2018, he envisioned a space that went beyond the traditional record store model. ‘I wanted to make something different. I wanted a store that was more free, with more crossing of cultures,’ he says. This ethos…

For Mexico-based architect Ludwig Godefroy, a seemingly straightforward commission for a ‘house with a garden’ is never just as simple as it might sound. His past works, including the fortress-like Casa Alferez and the cool and open Casa Mérida, often take a dramatic, highly textural, almost theatrical approach. It’s a description of his work that he agrees with. ‘I believe architecture has to wake up emotions,’ he says. ‘I want my architecture to surprise people, to make them feel the space without being able to explain it with words; something you would feel entering a church, for example: the silence, the light and even the temperature of the architecture.’ The latest addition to his portfolio of highly expressive buildings is a private retreat in Mexico’s Baja California Sur, Casa La…
