The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Monday, January 27, 2025 Rediscovered masterpiece headlines Cimabue exhibition at the Louvre Giunta Pisano, Croix de San Ranierino. Pise, museo di San Matteo. su concessione del Ministero della Cultura – Musei nazionali di Pisa – Direzione regionale Musei Nazionali Toscana – Firenze. PARIS.- The years 1280–1290 witnessed a fundamental, even revolutionary development in the history of Western painting: for the first time, a painter sought to depict the world, objects and figures around him as they actually existed. This visionary artist, of whom we know almost nothing and by whom only some fifteen works have come down to us, was Cimabue (Florence, about 1240–Pisa [?], 1301/1302). This, the Musée du Louvre’s first exhibition dedicated to Cimabue, is the product of two events of great importance for the museum: the conservation work of his Maestà , often described as ‘the founding act of Western painting’, and the acquisition of a heretofore-unseen Cimabue panel, rediscovered in France in 2019 and listed as a French National Treasure: Christ Mocked. These two paintings, whose conservation work was completed in 2024, provide the starting point for this exhibition, which, by bringing together some forty works, aims to illuminate the groundbreaking manner ... More The Best Photos of the Day For Condo 2025, The Approach has invited Philipp Zollinger, Zürich, presenting Renée Levi (b. 1960) and Cassidy Toner (b. 1992). Centre Pompidou celebrates the bold vision of Suzanne Valadon American Sublime: Property from an Important Private Collection & 19th Century American and Western Art total $19,230,95 Rijksmuseum receives sculpture by famous Italian artist Bernini Suzanne Valadon, The Casting of the Net, 1914. Oil on canvas. Centre Pompidou, MNAM-CCI/Jacqueline Hyde/Dist. GrandPalaisRmn. PARIS.- The Centre Pompidou is devoting a monograph to Suzanne Valadon (1865-1938), a bold and iconic artist, and one of the most important of her generation. She was on the fringes of the dominant trends of her time - cubism and abstract art were in their infancy, while she ardently defended the need to paint reality - placing the nude, both female and male, at the centre of her work and depicting bodies without artifice or voyeurism. Suzanne Valadon had not been the subject of a monograph since the one devoted to her by the Musée National d’Art Moderne in 1967. Presented at the Centre Pompidou-Metz in 2023 (“Suzanne Valadon. A World of Her Own”), then at the Musée des Beaux-arts de Nantes (2024) and the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (2024), the tribute to this ostensibly modern artist, free of the conventions of her time, continues at the Centre Pompidou in 2025, enhanced by new loans and new archives. “I have drawn like ...

NEW YORK, NY.- The enduring strength of the American art market was on display and at Christie’s today as two sales, American Sublime: Property from an Important Private Collection and 19th Century American and Western Art totaled $19,230,950, while setting records for three artists. Together, the auctions were 137 percent sold versus low estimates with buyer’s premium and 86 percent sold by lot. Bidding was competitive throughout with bids coming in from six different nations in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. American Sublime: Property from an Important Private Collection opened the day, led by Thomas Cole’s evocative landscape, Mount Chocorua, New Hampshire, which achieved a record for the artist at $1,623,000. The top lot in 19th Century American and Western Art was Martin Johnson Heade’s Magnolias on a Shiny Table which made $1,502,000. Christie’s also set records for Homer Dodge Martin ... More Installation Triton by Bernini. Photo: Rijksmuseum/Kelly Schenk. AMSTERDAM.- The Rijksmuseum has received an outstanding sculpture by the Italian artist Bernini on permanent loan from a private collector. It is the only sculpture by this world-renowned Baroque sculptor in the Netherlands. The terracotta study model of Triton standing on a shell was commissioned by the then pope for the Fontana del Moro, which stands on Piazza Navona, one of Rome’s most important squares. The 72 centimetre tall sculpture was previously on view in the Rijksmuseum in 2020 as part of the Caravaggio–Bernini exhibition. "This is a truly historic addition to the collection! It is marvellous that, thanks to a private collector, we can now place a sculpture by Bernini on permanent display in the Netherlands for the first time. Bernini had a huge influence on the development of sculpture as an art form in this country, as elsewhere. Many Dutch sculptors travelled to Rome in the 17th century, studied Bernini’s work and were influenced by him. Among them were Artus Quellinus ... More Kunsthaus Zürich unveils 'Glacier Dreams', an immersive digital room by artist Refik Anadol Radu Comșa explores painting's expansive parameters in Israel debut George Condo: "Pastels" explores the human psyche through vibrant, unpredictable works Refik Anadol, Glacier Dreams, 2023. Installation view Kunsthaus Zürich, 2025. Photo: Franca Candrian, Kunsthaus Zürich © Refik Anadol. ZURICH.- With his striking visualization of the beauty and fragility of the world’s glaciers, Refik Anadol aims to draw attention to climate change while at the same time creating a multi-sensory viewing experience. ‘Glacier Dreams’ is an immersive digital room which combines art, technology and the issue of climate in spectacular fashion. This work, which is being shown in Zurich for the first time, looks set to become another favourite of visitors to the Kunsthaus. It was donated to the Kunsthaus Zürich by Bank Julius Baer and will be on show from 18 January. AI, Big Data and the quantified self: the digital transformation is one of the most important developments of our times. Computers and new technologies are shaping every aspect of our lives. The Kunsthaus is rising to the challenge, too, using bold experimentation to reflect on the artistic potential and social impact of media technologies. Refik Anadol (b. 1985 in Istanbul, lives in Los Angeles) is one ... More Radu Comșa, Transmuted Painting (diptych), 2024. Towel, textile pigments and acrylic dispersion on cotton canvas, 41.2×66.7×8.5 cm. TEL AVIV.- CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo is presenting a solo exhibition by Radu Comșa (*1975, Sibiu, Romania; lives and works in Cluj-Napoca, Romania). This is the first solo exhibition of the artist in Israel. The work of Radu Comșa employs ever-expansive parameters of painting. His works feature diverse materials such as concrete, paper, fabric, wood, plastic, and metal which are based on the conclusion that painting – namely, compositions of colored shapes – is all around us. This is the case when we set up a table for dinner; we choose curtains and carpets for our homes; when we hang our laundry; and when we see how the buildings are painted on our city’s street lines. Another element deeply embedded in his practice is playfulness, which is also the guiding principle of his project for CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo. For his solo exhibition at the Center, rather than merely presenting his artworks as stand-alone pieces, Comșa also set out to create objects – between artworks, appar ... More George Condo, The Redhead, 2024. Acrylic and pastel on paper, 198.1 x 152.4 cm / 78 x 60 in. Photo: Matt Grubb. Photo: Thomas Barratt. © George Condo. NEW YORK, NY.- George Condo’s two-part exhibition, ‘Pastels,’ spanning galleries at both Sprüth Magers and Hauser & Wirth in New York City, offers a glimpse into the artist’s creative process and unbound inventiveness through the medium of pastel. Condo’s new works challenge the limits of improvisation within this medium—spontaneously deploying gesso, fields of color and dramatic pastel gestures, all without the benefit of preparatory sketches—to express various states of the human psyche. The artist embraces the act of abstraction within a figural framework in novel ways, materializing the fragmented, elusive nature of ineffable thoughts and feelings. Together, these complementary presentations highlight the sui generis power of Condo’s oeuvre. The presentation at Hauser & Wirth comprises a new series of puzzle-like portraits, which the artist has dubbed his ‘bizarre characters,’ their visages simultaneously splintered and affixed by bright geometric ... More Judith Bernstein: Public Fears explores 60 years of unflinching artistic prowess Felrath Hines: A Personal Pursuit at Spanierman Modern explores the artist's eclectic journey Doug Aitken constructs a "Psychic Debris Field" of sculptures, light, and sound Judith Bernstein, Dick in a Head, 2015. Charcoal and pastel on paper, 41 1/2 x 29 1/2 inches, 105.4 x 74.9 cm. Copyright The Artist. NEW YORK, NY.- Kasmin opened Judith Bernstein’s (b. 1942) third solo exhibition at the gallery, Public Fears. Taking over the flagship 509 West 27th Street space, the exhibition surveys nearly 60 years of work—from 1966 to the present—underscoring the enduring urgency of Bernstein’s trailblazing artistry. Including new paintings, works on paper, and a restaging of her iconic Signature Piece (1986), this is Bernstein’s first New York solo exhibition since the acquisition of her major charcoal screw drawing Horizontal (1973) by The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2023. The exhibition anticipates the artist’s major museum retrospective at Kunsthaus Zurich in 2026. Bernstein’s most recent painting series, Death Heads, adopts an inward-looking gaze and offers an introspective meditation on the sublimity of death. Distinguished from her earlier, more outwardly polemical works, these iconographic heads appear at once transfixed in awe and in a state of active ... More Felrath Hines, Totem, 1950. Oil on canvas, 30 x 24 inches. Frame: 39 1/4 x 33 inches. Signed and dated lower right. NEW YORK, NY.- Felrath Hines: A Personal Pursuit consists of twenty works, spanning from 1947-1992 in an effort to contextualize how his exposure through his conservation work to different methods and materials affected his personal practice. This exhibition surveys his career for the first time since the Ackland Art Museum’s 2010 retrospective in North Carolina. Hines’ career can be characterized by his never-ending exploration, experimentation, and shifting aesthetic. Felrath Hines (1913-1993) believed that painting was, above all else, a personal pursuit. It was something that should exist outside of societal, political, and racial expectations. As an African American artist, Hines was expected to produce realist works that conformed to a stereotype of “black art” that had emerged in the early twentieth century. Although Hines was committed to the struggle for civil rights, he was equally committed to pursuing whatever artistic style he desired. Hines was a member ... More Installation view of Doug Aitken: Psychic Debris Field. Regen Projects, Los Angeles, January 18 – February 22, 2025. LOS ANGELES, CA.- Regen Projects is presenting Psychic Debris Field, an exhibition of new work by Los Angeles-based artist Doug Aitken. In Psychic Debris Field, Aitken sets forth a poly-media composition of artworks that create a narrative which explores the juxtaposition of deep ecological history within our landscape and contemporary habitation. The artworks create a fever-dream interpretation of our landscape ranging from large-scale sculptures created from urban debris, light and sound installations, botanic artworks, and fabric works that seamlessly combine these mediums. At the show’s entrance, viewers are greeted by P-22 (2024), a larger-than-life sculptural form of the famed wild western mountain lion which resided majestically in the Hollywood Hills for many years. The sculpture is made entirely out of foraged materials found within the urban landscape. These include microplastics washed up on the Pacific Coast, ... More 8.7 million visitors to the Musée du Louvre in 2024 Exhibition rediscovers a hidden figure of Abstract Expressionism Mazes, stars, and ruins: Hannah Black's immersive installation at Vleeshal 23% of individual visitors were French, far and away the most represented nationality. PARIS.- The Louvre welcomed 8.7 million visitors in 2024. Visitor numbers thus remained at 2023 levels (8.9 million visitors) in the rather unique context of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which gave the Louvre global visibility and placed the entire estate – also comprising the Tuileries Garden – back at the very top of the list of the world’s greatest heritage and museum sites. ‘Every year, the Louvre welcomes nearly 9 million visitors. Our aim is to make each individual’s encounter with our collections and this extraordinary monument meaningful and enjoyable, no matter how they engage with art and creativity. In the coming years, we will continue working on new ways for the public to enjoy the Louvre’s collections and the Tuileries Garden as we delight, inspire, teach, provide respite and expand their horizons.’ -- Laurence des Cars, President-Director of the Musée du Louvre • 23% of individual visitors were French, far and away the mos ...

Photographer: Noel Allum. © 2024 The Milton Avery Trust / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. MORRISTOWN, NJ.- Sally Michel, Brilliant Legacy will bring a fresh and innovative look at the work of Sally Michel (1902-2003), a talented and previously under-recognized female painter connected to the New York-centered Abstract Expressionist movement. The exhibition, which includes over 40 paintings created between the 1930s and the 1990s, showcases her distinctive use of color, abstraction, and form. The project at the Morris Museum will be on view from January 29 through May 4, 2025. “This thoughtful and comprehensive survey considers Michel’s entire artistic career,” said Thomas J. Loughman, Morris Museum President & CEO. “Her paintings capture intimate moments of domestic life, captivating landscapes, and even examples of her 1950s illustration work for The New York Times. We are thrilled to partner with our colleagues from the Mennello ... More Hannah Black and Roos Gortzak during a site visit to M HKA, Antwerp. Photo: Jim van Geel. MIDDELBURG.- From January 26 to April 13, 2025, you can visit the solo exhibition The Directions by Hannah Black at Vleeshal. The exhibition is curated by Roos Gortzak. For her solo exhibition at Vleeshal, Hannah Black has developed an immersive installation, consisting of a maze, a cypress, a text, chains, planets, videos, photos, and a selection of artworks from the municipal collection of Middelburg. The premise through all of this is, as the title suggests, navigation. Black explores how one moves through a world in crisis. What directions can you take? What guides you along the way? The maze at Vleeshal offers limited outcomes: ruin, ruin, ruin, and in one case, a door. In the three videos displayed in the maze, Black engages in a conversation with herself under a starry sky about the directions she has taken so far. Stars serve as anchor points in both astrology and astronomy. They also refer to the history of Middelburg: the invention of the telescope by Hans Lipperthey ... More Hank Willis Thomas on the Spirit that Unites Us All More News Three of Ferrari's "Big Six" to headline RM Sotheby's Miami sale this March BLENHEIM.- RM Sotheby’s has announced the first official highlights of its Miami 2025 auction lineup. During the highly anticipated ModaMiami weekend, 1–2 March 2025, three of Ferrari’s legendary “Big Six” models—the Enzo, F40, and F50—will be offered at auction. This extraordinary trio presents a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire three of Ferrari’s most iconic halo cars in a single event. “When it comes to collectible Ferraris, the flagship models are considered the most desirable of all road-going Ferraris,” said Gord Duff, President of RM Sotheby’s. “They’re regarded as pieces of history and showcase the very best of Ferrari.

They are poised to become either ... More Condo 2025 showcases the hypnotic satin collages of Anna Zemánková LONDON.- For Condo 2025, The Approach has invited Sophie Tappeiner, Vienna, presenting Anna Zemánková (1908–1986). The exhibition of satin collages by Anna Zemánková is her first in the UK and follows her presentation at the 60th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia. Born in 1908 in a suburb of Olomouc, then part of Austria-Hungary, Zemánková’s childhood enthusiasm for painting did not initially lead to a career as an artist. Encouraged by her family to become a dental assistant, it was only in 1960 at the age of 52 that she returned to consistently making art again. Drawing soon became a daily ritual, taking place each morning on her kitchen table while she listened to music. Zemánková’s drawings and collages are organic abstractions, hybrid biomorphic forms which resemble both flowers and insects. These blooming ... More Manetti Shrem Museum presents U.S. debut of Italy's Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Collection exhibition DAVIS, CA.- The Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at the University of California, Davis, is thrilled to unveil the first U.S. presentation of Italy’s renowned Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Collection.

As Parreno describes in his statement, a curated group of thirty individuals and groups from twelve countries ... More The Frye Art Museum opens two new exhibitions SEATTLE, WA.- The Frye Art Museum is presenting Dawn Cerny: Portmeirion. In this solo exhibition, the Seattle artist (born 1979, Carpinteria, California) creates the illusion of a domestic space through her abstract yet functional sculptures, all made at a human scale from readily available components—what Cerny has called “preschool handicraft materials.” Visitors are invited to interact with her large-scale furniture pieces, newly created for the exhibition, which offer places to sit, rest, and reorient the body. The artworks’ bright, monochromatic paint surfaces elevate the perceived value of modest materials like plywood and cardboard, highlighting the role of artifice and theatricality in art and everyday life. “Dawn Cerny revels in the theater of the home, exploring how we perform—intentionally or not—in our daily lives,” says curator Georgia Erger. The exhibition ... More Kunsthaus Zürich announces exhibition programme 2025 ZURICH.- Kunsthaus Zürich is Switzerland’s largest transhistorical museum for fine arts, spanning over eight centuries of art history, from the Middle Ages to the present.

Focusing on four musical artists, the six-episode series begins Jan. 30 followed by weekly episodes through March 6.

More Ludwig Museum's annual programme for 2025 BUDAPEST.- For many years, the museum has organised its annual exhibitions and activities around a theme that reflects the role of museums and contemporary art in the 21st century. In 2024, the links between contemporary art and other art forms and disciplines have been explored, and a strong emphasis has been placed on reaching out to disadvantaged communities. The 2025 exhibition programme has been designed with an unusual focus on diverse artistic practices rather than an overarching theme. To understand contemporary art, it is important to see the situations and relationships that create the works. The practices presented go beyond traditional frameworks, linking art to society and creating new forms of expression and community experiences. The exhibition Women’s Quota 02.

Coe. “The Rockwell Museum’s 2025 theme goes beyond the aesthetic, delving into the scientific and cultural dimensions of color. In my first year in this leadership role at The Rockwell, I’m excited by this theme, which is very topical, while being accessible to diverse audiences.” Throughout 2025, The Rockwell Museum invites visitors to reflect ... More PhotoGalleries Moore and Malaparte Silk Road Oasis Wim Delvoye Gauguin Flashback On a day like today, Dutch painter Hendrick Avercamp was baptized January 27, 1585. Hendrick Avercamp (January 27, 1585 (bapt.) - May 15, 1634 (buried)) was a Dutch painter. Avercamp was born in Amsterdam, where he studied with the Danish-born portrait painter Pieter Isaacks (1569–1625), and perhaps also with David Vinckboons. In 1608 he moved from Amsterdam to Kampen in the province of Overijssel. Avercamp was mute and was known as "de Stomme van Kampen" (the mute of Kampen).
