NEW YORK, NY.- If youre new to the genre, this years 32nd edition of the Outsider Art Fair offers a crash course for only $35. (Last years tickets were $44.) From an unmissable Elijah Pierce sculpture of the crucifixion (Fleisher/Ollman Gallery, A5) to a spectacular mixed-media Thornton Dial painting (Andrew Edlin Gallery, A12), and from artist and investigator Abigail Goldmans die-o-ramas (Hashimoto Contemporary, C17) to the sinuous drawings of Shuvinai Ashoona and Quvianaqtuk Pudlats formidable colored pencil caribou (Feheley Fine Arts, B10), the event is well-stocked with classics and new additions alike. For those whove been to this party before, however, the chief joy of this often overwhelming fair, where many exhibitors cram their booths with work by a dozen artists and the quality ranges widely, is the small, singular discovery. What follows are eight pieces or groups of pieces that caught my eye. Standing out in an otherwise very serious collec ... More |

NEW YORK, NY.- Last August, a team of paleontologists announced that they had discovered the fossilized bones of a gigantic ancient whale. Perucetus, as they named it, might have weighed over 200 tons, which would make it the heaviest animal that has ever lived. But in a study published Thursday, a pair of scientists have challenged ...

Cuban visual artist Osvaldo González showing exhibition at Galleria ContinuaHAVANA.- Galleria Continua is showing the solo exhibition Estados by Cuban visual artist Osvaldo González. His work is crafted from spatial relationships, self-awareness and knowledge, and potential subjective connections between the viewer and the environment he recreates. Without a doubt, what identifies him are the elements with which he began to work some years ago and which have become his leitmotiv : adhesive tape and light. Taking the use of adhesive tape to the extreme as a fundamental material in his work, the magic lies in evoking a sense of strangeness in almost everyone who encounters his works: how is the image we see constructed ? Is it a photograph, a painting, or something unidentifiable at first glance ? Through the use of light and added layers, he creates spaces, compositions, interior landscapes that ... More The annual Petworth Park Antiques & Fine Art Fair opens for the 10th year runningWEST SUSSEX.- The Petworth Park Antiques & Fine Art Fair returns for three days in May to the grounds of the National Trusts Petworth House, Petworth, West Sussex from Friday 17 to Sunday 19 May 2024. Unusually, this event has taken place successfully every year since its inception, despite having to move dates on more than one occasion, last year as a result of King Charles IIIs coronation. Even in 2020 and 2021, when the fair had to move months to take place safely during the pandemic, this fair has always been extremely well attended by collectors, interior designers, south of England residents and others from around the UK and abroad. Brilliantly supported by the local market town, which looks forward to this annual event with much anticipation, the businesses in Petworth put on a great show for the influx of visitors ... More 150th anniversary of 1st impressionist exhibition in Paris, 1874, celebrated with major exhibitionsCHARLOTTENLUND.- In Scandinavia, Ordrupgaard takes the lead with a magnificent exhibition highlighting the women of impressionism both behind and in front of the canvas. The exhibition features four female impressionists and their interconnected world of sisters, daughters, and friends through what is incontestably regarded as major works of this period. Due to their gender and class, these artists did not have the same opportunities to depict the pulsating city life enjoyed by their male colleagues. Instead, their focus was on modern life as it unfolded in the home and gardens of Paris and the surrounding area. These intimate motifs were depicted in a radical fashion using bright colours, quick brushstrokes, and a sketch-like technique, which elicited both admiration and indignation from viewers and art critics alike. The ... More 'Hidden Agenda, Stano Filko and Franz West', on view at Layr through March 23VIENNA.- The expression hidden agenda has a questionable connotation. That makes sense as the framework of a society is often based on ideals of truth and honesty. The trouble is that not all of our ambitions are helpful when publicly revealed. Our psyches, just as societyand in it, galleries and artistsneed private space. Basic fears and desires are kept behind allegorical closed doors. We can even expand the allegory of the door: if we add walls, we have a room, or even an allegorical house with several rooms (including a basement and restrooms)some of them hidden or closed off. The very idea of art is that it has the ability to represent some of our underlying and less obvious motives. The works of Stano Filko and Franz West both produced psychological landscapes ... More Regen Projects now representing Alberta Whittle and will host her first exhibition on March 16thLOS ANGELES, CA.- Regen Projects has announced their representation of Glasgow-based artist Alberta Whittle. The artist will debut her first exhibition with the gallery on March 16, 2024. Albertas creative practice is motivated by the desire to manifest self-compassion and collective care as key methods in battling anti-Blackness. Her multi-media practice encompasses drawing, digital collage, film, sculpture, performance, and writing, through which she develops a visual, oral, and textual language that questions accepted Western constructs of history and society. Her public presentations are often choreographed as interactive installations, that speak to the site in which they are being presented and prioritize questions of self-care and compassion, while considering the historic legacies and contemporary expressions of anti-Blackness, colonialism, ... More Margot Samel presents 'Analog Mountain' by Merike EstnaNEW YORK, NY.- This is the Estonian-born, Mexico City-based artists first solo exhibition with the gallery. In the work, themes of family, climate, and representation are troubled through a series of works that emerge from an interest in historic lineages of art and logic at play in structuring our present day. The title of the exhibition is drawn from 20th-century French novelist René Daumals Mount Analogue: A Novel of Symbolically Authentic Non-Euclidean Adventures in Mountain Climbing. The allegorical story, unfinished in the writers lifetime, follows a group of mountaineers as they work to climb Mount Analogue, an enormous mountain on a surreal continent, invisible and inaccessible to the outside world, and only perceived by applications of obscure knowledge. A mountainous and cavernous terrain is the artists point-of-view ... More Strauss & Co. is hosting their first official London private sale and loan exhibition dedicated to Alexis PrellerLONDON.- Africas leading auction house, Strauss & Co. is hosting their first official London private sale and loan exhibition dedicated to Alexis Preller this march.
