The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Monday, November 18, 2024 First major exhibition devoted to British artist and designer Tirzah Garwood Tirzah Garwood, Etna, 1944, oil on canvas. Image courtesy of Fleece Press/Simon Lawrence. LONDON.- In autumn 2024, ten years after its critically acclaimed show Ravilious, Dulwich Picture Gallery welcomes back guest Curator James Russell to present the first major exhibition devoted to British artist and designer Tirzah Garwood (1908 – 1951). Known for her autobiography Long Live Great Bardfield and as the wife of Eric Ravilious (1903 – 1942), Garwood excelled as a fine artist and printmaker. Tirzah Garwood: Beyond Ravilious will be the first time the full extent of her output will be shown, giving the artist’s captivating works the critical examination and public showcase they deserve as gems of the mid- 20th century. The retrospective offers a rare opportunity to view more than eighty of Garwood’s works, including most of her existing oil paintings, almost exclusively from private collections. The exhibition introduces an artist whose creativity flourished in the face of adversity, unveiling Garwood’s ‘sophisticated naïve’ approach that allowed h ... More The Best Photos of the Day The exhibition rooms in Palazzo Mazzetti in Asti are displaying the works of Escher, the artistic genius and visionary, and a favourite with the general public around the planet. Iconic among art lovers but also among mathematicians, designers, and graphic artists, his unique creations combine art with the universe of numbers, science with nature, and reality with imagination, generating fanciful inventions and paradoxes both magical and marked by strong scientific rigour. Galerie Rupert Pfab opens an exhibition of works by Laura Aberham New York-based artist Greg Bogin opens first solo exhibition at The Buchmann Galerie Kyra Wessels named as Director Stedelijk Museum Fonds Laura Aberham, Blue Mesa, 2024, 100 x 80 cm, Acryl und Ölkreide auf Leinwand, Courtesy Galerie Rupert Pfab 2024. DUSSELDORF.- Laura Aberham’s painting has always made use of various techniques, which are constantly being developed further. She skillfully explores the space of possibilities between forms, structures, lines and volumes and creates a multi-layered interplay of translucent and opaque surfaces. In her abstract, often gestural paintings, she combines free, expressive brushstrokes with the integration of structures to create dynamic, multi-layered works. Materiality and movement play a central role. In her new paintings, moments of reality are concealed in the abstraction. The exhibition title “Blue Mesa” is taken from the name of a stone landscape in Arizona, USA, which the artist traveled to this summer. The hills there are colored blue, pink, grey and purple. Laura Aberham’s new paintings are deliberately and subtly intended to evoke such associations in the viewer. Nevertheless, her painting ... More Greg Bogin, the wind in her hair..., 2024. Acrylic on canvas 152,5 x 152,5 cm / 60 x 60 in Courtesy: Buchmann Galerie. Photo: Marcus Schneider, Berlin BERLIN.- The Buchmann Galerie is presenting the first solo exhibition at the gallery of the New York-based artist Greg Bogin. In his consistently painterly practice, Greg Bogin explores the central historical developments in painting since the emergence of abstraction, juxtaposing them with the specific visuality of contemporary culture. His work oscillates between conceptual rigour and a playful, sensual curiosity about the visible. Essential to Bogin’s work is his rejection of common rectangular forms as pictorial grounds and his confident handling of colour as as bearer of emotions. His organically rounded, cut out or geometrically shaped canvases overcome the two-dimensionality of traditional paintings and acquire a sculptural quality. His work, in combination with brilliant, sometimes fluorescent colours, refers to the visual rhetoric of a world of vernacular culture. Striking, memorable and immediately ... More Kyra Wesssels. Photo: Boudewijn Bollmann. AMSTERDAM.- Kyra Wessels has been appointed director of the Stedelijk Museum Fonds, the Stedelijk’s independent support foundation. Since joining the Stedelijk Museum in 2007, Wessels has held various positions, consistently contributing to the museum’s growth and development. In recent years, her focus has shifted towards philanthropy and acquiring important works for the collection. As the former Head of the Stedelijk Museum Fonds (hereafter SMF), she was responsible for its establishment and launch. With its tenth anniversary approaching this autumn, the SMF has experienced impressive growth under her leadership, both in terms of revenue and in the number of patrons. Peter Mensing, chairman of the SMF board welcomes Wessels’ appointment as director: “Kyra has a proven track record of personally securing major gifts and generating ambitious revenue streams for the benefit of the museum. Her appointment is a logical next step in the SMF’s efforts to enhance its profession ... More Exhibition of new paintings by Barbara Wesołowska opens at Michael Werner Gallery New building of the Künstlerverein Malkasten celebrates its opening with an exhibition featuring works by Thomas Ruff Casino Luxembourg presents Black Air Barbara Wesołowska, Looking Back Through Other, 2024. Oil, shellac, gold leaf on linen, 75 x 55 inches (190 x 140 cm). ATHENS.- Michael Werner Gallery, Athens is presenting Faithfully Represented, an exhibition of new paintings by Poland-born, London-based painter Barbara Wesołowska (b. 1984 in Wrocław, Poland). Faithfully Represented, both the title of the exhibition and a painting in the show, are words plucked from the middle of a sentence in Sigmund Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams. The two words are not particularly loaded in the text but were chosen by the artist because of their discord. Wesołowska feels that the word faithfully describes an effort to capture something intangible, while represented is the arrival at a contemporary object of devotion. Wesołowska was raised in Poland in a religious family, and, as a child, spent a great deal of time in Polish Gothic churches surrounded by images of the Madonna and saints. These early memories shape her paint ... More Thomas Ruff, Substrat 29 III, 2006. Courtesy of the artist and Konrad Fischer Galerie. DUSSELDORF.- The newly inaugurated Malkastenforum, the latest addition to the Künstlerverein Malkasten in Düsseldorf, opened its doors with a tribute to the renowned contemporary photographer Thomas Ruff. The exhibition, which centered on Ruff's homage to Düsseldorf, took visitors on a visual journey through the city's cultural landscape of the 1980s. At the heart of the exhibition were Ruff’s iconic portrait photographs of young artists from the 1980s. These frontal-view images evoked passport photos but were magnified to such a scale that their proportions disoriented the viewer. Alongside these portraits, the exhibition featured architectural images of Düsseldorf buildings from the same era, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the city's aesthetic from 35 years ago. The exhibition also showcased Ruff’s exploration of various artistic genres, including portraiture, architectural photography, ... More Aldo Tambellini, "Black Video 1 & 2" © Casino Luxembourg, 2024. LUXEMBOURG.- Air is black. It is without colour, without luminosity, and without form. Its blackness is not void, but constitutes pure potential, raw creative energy. Air is free. It circulates everywhere, all at once and always, without conceding to architectural or political borders. We are intimately immersed in black air. We are born into it. We breathe it. We move and act through it, speak from within it. Full of electromagnetic energy, black air animates us, it vibrates and sounds, it carries and transmits. Curated by Amelia LiCavoli, Black Air takes its name from a 1968 electronic environment of video and pneumatics by Aldo Tambellini and Otto Piene. In addition to this re-activation, a new publication, site-specific installations, and performances have been commissioned. Ibrahim R. Ineke’s painting and artist’s book set the human scale. Semiconductor maps scientific data from expanses of dark energy within superclusters of galaxies, ... More Stedelijk Museum opens new Don Quixote Sculpture Hall Craig Starr Gallery presents an exhibition of works by Sylvia Plimack Mangold Capturing the essence of nature: Sandra Bartocha's "Rhythm of Nature: Overview of the Don Quixote Sculpture Hall. Photo by Peter Tijhuis. AMSTERDAM.- To mark the 750th anniversary of the city of Amsterdam, the Stedelijk Museum presents its new Don Quixote Sculpture Hall as a unique gift to the city. Generously supported by the Don Quixote Foundation, the hall comprises a magnificent indoor Sculpture Hall which provides an opportunity for the Stedelijk to spotlight works from its famous collections. The Sculpture Hall showcases both early modern classics and contemporary icons, including work by Henry Moore, Jean Arp, Alexander Calder, Willem de Kooning, Niki de Saint Phalle, Paulina Olowska and others, as well as a recently acquired sculpture by Anne Imhof and an iconic work on loan by Damien Hirst. This moment also marks the opening of the fully refurnished entrance area designed by architect Paul Cournet and his architecture studio, CLOUD. With this Sculpture Hall the beloved sculpture garden of the Stedelijk Museum returns to its original location - this exact spot ... More Installation view. NEW YORK, NY.- Craig Starr Gallery is presenting Sylvia Plimack Mangold: Tapes, Fields, and Trees, 1975-84, on view from October 24, 2024, through January 25, 2025. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Plimack Mangold developed a distinctive artistic vocabulary, incorporating motifs such as floors, mirrors, rulers, and tiles, drawn from her studio and home surroundings. These motifs were also devices used to construct her work, making the paintings into reflections on the tools and processes of their own making. This body of work was highlighted in Craig Starr Gallery’s 2016 exhibition, Sylvia Plimack Mangold: Floors and Rulers, 1967-76. The present exhibition focuses on the further development of Plimack Mangold’s practice with the introduction of three new motifs: masking tape, landscapes, and trees. Over the following decade (1975-84), Plimack Mangold used these motifs in a variety of paintings and drawings to continue her investigation of perception and representation. ... More Sandra Bartocha: "Rhythm of Nature". ISERLOHN.- Sandra Bartocha, an award-winning nature photographer and author, has mastered the art of transforming the ephemeral beauty of nature into timeless works of art. Her latest book, Rhythm of Nature (2022), accompanied by an exhibition of the same name, serves as the culmination of over a decade of her photographic exploration. Bartocha's work is not about documenting the obvious. Instead, she delves into the subtleties of the natural world, finding magic in everyday moments—the way light dances on water, the delicate structure of a flower, or the shifting clouds across the sky. Her ability to deconstruct nature's kaleidoscopic chaos into simple, well-defined elements allows her to craft perfect compositions that pull viewers into the rhythm of the seasons. Her photographs celebrate impermanence, revealing the extraordinary within the ordinary. From blooming meadows to ancient forests, her imagery captures fleeting moments that resonate with an innate beauty and subtlety. "It’s ... More Henry Taylor debuts a series of limited-edition etchings and hand-painted monoprints at Hauser & Wirth Exhibition spotlights works produced by Irving Penn throughout his 70-year career Exhibition at the Musée national Picasso-Paris focuses on Jackson Pollock's early works Henry Taylor, "Again?", 2024. Hand painted monoprint with ink and acrylic. Unique, 127 x 106.7 cm / 50 x 42 in. © Henry Taylor. Courtesy the artist and Hauser & Wirth. Photo: Sarah Muehlbauer. NEW YORK, NY.- Over the past four decades, critically acclaimed, Los Angeles-based artist Henry Taylor has created a vast body of highly personal work that combines figurative, landscape and history painting, alongside drawing, installation and sculpture. For his first exhibition at Hauser & Wirth New York, Taylor moves into a new technical realm, debuting a series of limited-edition etchings and hand-painted monoprints, all produced in collaboration with Paulson Fontaine Press in Berkeley CA. Spanning from the humorous to the contemplative, this intimate collection of new works both distills and expands Taylor’s practice. It also serves as a record of the artist’s time spent in Berkeley, just a short distance from Laney College in Oakland, where he took his first etching class in the late 1970s. Known for saturated color passages, gestural mark making and a rapid style of execution, Taylor’s work emerges from his relentless cataloging of imagery, ... More Irving Penn, Three Dahomey Girls (with Bowls), Dahomey, 1968. Photographs © The Irving Penn Foundation. NEW YORK, NY.- Pace is presenting Irving Penn: Kinship, an exhibition of work by the famed photographer Irving Penn, curated by artist Hank Willis Thomas, at its 508 West 25th Street gallery in New York. On view from November 15 to December 21, this show spotlights works produced by Penn throughout his 70-year career, including selections from his Worlds in a Small Room series, his iconic portraits of artists, actors, and writers, and other genres of his images. These photographs will be exhibited within an installation designed by Thomas to replicate a structure that Penn used to photograph many of his high-profile subjects. Working for Vogue for nearly 70 years, Penn left an indelible mark on the history of photography. His inventive fashion photographs, which transformed American image-making in the postwar era, continued to appear in the magazine up until his death in 2009. The artist was also highly accomplished and experimental in the darkroom, having engineered, among other ... More Jackson Pollock, Bird (v. 1938-1941). Oil and sand on canvas. The Museum of Modern Art, New-York © Pollock-Krasner Foundation / ADAGP, Paris 2024. PARIS.- The Musée national Picasso-Paris presents a new temporary exhibition devoted to the American artist Jackson Pollock. First exhibition in France since 2008, it focuses on his early works, from 1934 to 1947. The exhibition "Jackson Pollock: The Early Years (1934-1947)" revisits the early career of Jackson Pollock (1912-1956), marked by the influence of regionalism and Mexican muralists, right up to his first drippings in 1947. This body of work, rarely exhibited for its own sake, bears witness to the diverse sources that nourished the young artist's research, crossing the influence of native American arts with that of the European avant-gardes, among which Pablo Picasso figures prominently. Compared to the Spanish painter and the great names of European painting by the critics, Pollock was quickly established as a true monument of American painting, and in so doing, isolated from the more complex networks of exchanges of influences that nourished his work during his New York years. The e ... More Seeing Beyond the Frame: Ocean Vuong on Robert Frank More News Marian Goodman Gallery premieres a video installation by the late French artist Christian Boltanski LOS ANGELES, CA.- Marian Goodman Gallery is presenting the United States premiere of Animitas (Chili), 2014, a video installation by the late French artist Christian Boltanski, who the gallery began working with in 1987. The video notably documents the first incarnation of Boltanski’s Animitas series, which began as a conceptual monument installed in the Atacama Desert in 2014. This original installation featured 800 small bronze bells on individual stems that were arranged to represent the position of the stars on the night of the artist’s birth. The location of Chile was chosen by Boltanski as he originally drew inspiration from the local animitas or “little souls”—small, makeshift altars created to worship the departed along roadsides throughout the country; Boltanski also uses the form to commemorate those killed under the Pinochet regime. ... More Berggruen Gallery opens an exhibition of panels, works on paper, and works on mylar by Diana Al-Hadid SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Berggruen Gallery is presenting Diana Al-Hadid: Wild Margins, an exhibition of panels, works on paper, and works on mylar by Syrian-born, Brooklyn-based artist Diana Al-Hadid. This show marks Al-Hadid’s second solo exhibition with the gallery and is on view November 15, 2024, through January 9, 2025. Wild Margins exhibits Diana Al-Hadid's first career exploration of works produced and inspired by techniques of hand-papermaking learned during her year-long residency at Dieu Donné. As a Lab Grant Resident, an invitation-only residency that allows mid-career and established artists to explore the art of papermaking, Al-Hadid worked with expert paper makers to master new processes such as pulp painting, blowout, and stenciling. Calling the paper process “one of the most revolutionary pieces of her practice ... More Galerie Guido W. Baudach opens an exhibition featuring works by Gina Lee Felber and Jürgen Klauke BERLIN.- Galerie Guido W. Baudach is presenting an exhibition of works by Gina Lee Felber and Jürgen Klauke. Klauke (*1943) counts among the widely known artists in Germany. Felber (*1957) and her practice are primarily familiar to connoisseurs. Both live together in Cologne. The exhibition displays a group of Felber's sculptural objects from the years 1994 to 2014, flanked by individual photographic works from Klauke's Prosecuritas cycle, which the artist worked on between 1987 and 1994. Both series of works are very different, not only in terms of the medium. But what they have in common is a content structure which, without providing a concrete narrative, evokes associations with fundamental challenges of our social existence and thus simultaneously invites further reflection. The Prosecuritas series occupies a special position in ... More Persons Projects opens 'The Helsinki School: Out of the Depths of Photography' BERLIN.- The exhibition The Helsinki School—Out of the Depths of Photography continues in its longstanding tradition of pushing the boundaries of how we perceive and interpret the photographic image. This presentation features a range of explorations into how different materials—such as fabrics, layered collages, and folded film negatives transformed into sculptures—can be utilized to form a new visual language within the photographic process today. It represents a collective effort to redefine the material qualities of the photograph, attempting to recover its magic as a physical object. This is the first fully dimensional overview from any previous Helsinki School presentations to conceptually challenge these existing parameters. Fascinated by the photograph's ability to use time to visualize surrounding phenomena, Jussi Nahkuri compresses, combines, ... More 'Aura Rosenberg The Space Between Us' on view at Martos Gallery NEW YORK, NY.- The Space Between Us begins with the figures of Charging Bull and Fearless Girl in New York City's Financial district. Private individuals produced these unsolicited works; nevertheless, they are public sculptures. In 1989, Arturo Di Modica made Charging Bull in homage to the American entrepreneurial spirit and installed it surreptitiously in front of the New York Stock Exchange. The city immediately moved it to Bowling Green, where it stood alone for twenty-eight years. In 2017, a hedge fund managed primarily by women commissioned Kristen Visbal to make the Fearless Girl statue and, on International Women's Day, placed her opposite the bull. She held that position for a year and nine months until Di Modica won his battle to remove her. City authorities then moved her opposite the stock exchange, where she now stands. ... More CARBON 12 opens Edgar Orlaineta's first solo exhibition with the gallery DUBAI.- CARBON 12 is presenting Edgar Orlaineta’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, ‘What We See of Things is the Things’. In his new body of work, Orlaineta reflects on the philosophical explorations of perception and essence, challenging traditional notions of art and the birth point of objects through his profound engagement with materiality and meaning, just as Fernando Pessoa does in his seminal book, Poemas de Alberto Caeiro (1911-1912). Orlaineta’s exploration of objects as non-functional or decontextualized allows him to strip them down to their purest form: a thing. What is it that differentiates things from objects, or even from art? How do these things interact with their environment? Is it the environment that gives them meaning, or vice versa? At what point during the process of making something, does it actually become something? These ... More Kunsthalle Bern presents Onyeka Igwe's 'the names have changed' BERN.- The film series When Rain Clouds Gather enters its third round with London-born and based moving image artist Onyeka Igwe. From 15 November 2024 to 1 December 2024, the three-part series No Dance, No Palaver will be shown together with the film The names have changed including my own and truths have been altered in a film installation. The artist and researcher, whose work is on show in the Nigerian pavilion at the Venice Biennale this year, explores the question of how to live together in a society where individualism thrives. She examines everyday aspects of Black life and uses bodies, archives and oral and written histories to reveal overlooked stories, while focusing on rhythmic editing and the tension between image and sound. No Dance, No Palaver (2017-2018) is a series of 3 works; Her Name in My Mouth (2017), Sitting ...

The exhibition narrates Campari’s longstanding commitment to research and innovative spirit. It begins with the graphic and communicative significance of the name Campari and expands to explore the transformation ... More PhotoGalleries Gabriele Münter TARWUK Awol Erizku Leo Villareal Flashback On a day like today, French photographer Louis-Jacques Daguerre was born November 18, 1787. Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre (18 November 1787 -10 July 1851) was a French artist and physicist, recognized for his invention of the daguerreotype process of photography. He became known as one of the fathers of photography. Though he is most famous for his contributions to photography, he was also an accomplished painter and a developer of the diorama theatre. In this image: "Boulevard du Temple", taken by Daguerre in 1838 in Paris, includes the earliest known photograph of a person. The image shows a street, but because of the over ten minute exposure time the moving traffic does not appear. At the lower left, however, a man apparently having his boots polished, and the bootblack polishing them, were motionless enough for their images to be captured. © 1996 - 2024 Founder: Ignacio Villarreal (1941 - 2019) Editor & Publisher: Jose Villarreal Art Director: Juan José Sepúlveda Ramírez Writer: Ofelia Zurbia Betancourt
