Anita Rogers Gallery is offering a West Coast preview of Robert Szot’s upcoming exhibition 'Dust Do Shine' in Los Angeles from August 14 to 16, before the work is shipped to New York for the show’s opening in September. According to the gallery, the preview will take place by appointment in the artist’s Los Angeles studio, where the works were made, and visitors will be able to see them in person and speak with Szot.
The announcement comes through Anita Rogers Gallery’s exhibition page for Szot, which identifies the presentation as a “West Coast Preview” of 'Dust Do Shine' in Los Angeles. The gallery’s New York address is listed separately on its site as 494 Greenwich Street, Ground Floor, in New York City, but the preview itself is tied to Szot’s studio in Los Angeles rather than the gallery’s Manhattan space. The online listing also distinguishes the preview from the main exhibition, which is scheduled to follow in New York.
Szot’s exhibition page shows a selection of works included in the project, with titles such as 'Cheaper Feels', 'The Dancer’s Beehive', 'Untitled', 'Wonders Greatly Reduced', 'Arcadia' and 'Knockdowns'. The works are dated 2026, while 'Semaphore Study' is listed as a 2025 mixed-media work on paper. Materials on the page include oil, metal leaf and charcoal on paper or linen, suggesting the exhibition spans both works on paper and larger linen paintings.
The gallery’s press release says the preview is being organized “together with the artist” and emphasizes the opportunity to encounter the works before they are transported to New York. It also notes that the preview is meant to happen in the studio setting where the work was made, reinforcing the presentation’s emphasis on process and location. Appointments are available for the weekend of August 14 to 16.
Anita Rogers Gallery’s website presents Szot as one of the artists in its current programme, and the Los Angeles preview extends that relationship beyond New York through a short appointment-based format. The gallery has framed the event as an advance look at the September exhibition rather than a separate public opening, with no reception listed for the Los Angeles dates.
The exhibition page gives the New York run of 'Dust Do Shine' as September 23 to October 31, 2026, at Anita Rogers Gallery’s New York location, with a reception with the artist scheduled for Wednesday, September 23, from 6 to 8 pm. For the Los Angeles preview, the gallery directs visitors to schedule an appointment and request a preview list.
