When you peruse our latest catalogue, please pause a moment, and realize that each work of art has a backstory. Where and when was it created? Where did it go after its creation and to whom? Over the years of its initial acquisition who lived with it and who viewed it? Was it loaned to exhibitions and museums? Has it traded hands only once or numerous times and eventually how did we acquire it? Well, one doesnt generally ... More |

NEW YORK, NY.- When the New York Philharmonic opened its new home at Lincoln Center in 1962, it held a white-tie gala, broadcast live on national television, with tickets having sold for up to $250 apiece, or nearly $2,500 in todays dollars. It was a glittering affair, but the halls poor acoustics a critical problem for an art form that relies on unamplified instruments ushered in decades of difficulties. After the last major attempt to fix its sound, with a gut renovation in 1976, the hall reopened with a black-tie gala and a burst of optimism. But its acoustic woes persisted. Now Lincoln Center and the Philharmonic are hoping that they have finally broken the acoustic curse of the hall, now called David Geffen Hall, which reopened Saturday after a $550 million overhaul that preserved the buildings exterior but gutted and rebuilt its interior, making its auditorium more intimate and, they believe, better ...

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.- On Thursday, October 6, the McNay Art Museum opened two original exhibitionsTrue Believers: Benny Andrews & Deborah Roberts and Margarita Cabrera: Blurring Borders. Both remain on view through January 22, 2023. True Believers: Benny Andrews & Deborah Roberts provides a historic and contemporary view of the Black experience in America through nearly 50 artworks. The exhibition reveals the formal and thematic connections between the work of two artists separated by a generation, Benny Andrews (1930-2006) and Deborah Roberts (born 1962), highlighting their shared embrace of collage and dedication to representations of family, activism, and racial equity. Andrews was born into a large family in Plainview, Georgia. Throughout a nearly fifty-year career, he worked primarily in painting, ... More | | 
A video circulating on social media showed violent waves thrashing the pumpkin about like an enormous and beautiful seashell, revealing its hollow innards.
TOKYO.- Not to worry: A giant pumpkin sculpture by artist Yayoi Kusama has been reinstalled on the Japanese island where it was thrashed by a typhoon last year. Technically, this particular specimen of polka-dot, reinforced plastic is a replica of the one that was irreparably damaged. But no matter. People are happy, and the Instagram-friendly artwork has returned just in time for Japans reopening to foreign tourists after a coronavirus-induced hiatus. The pumpkin is a special feature of modern art, its been missing for a long time and its finally back, Toshio Hamaguchi, 74, who lives on the island, said by phone Saturday. Locals are happy to see it return. Weve longed for this. The original piece was installed in 1994 on Naoshima, an island in western Japan that has since become an unlikely haven for international art and architecture. The yellow-and-black sculpture by Kusama, one of the worlds most popular artists, is a cousin of sorts to ... More |

| Friedman Benda presents her newest body of work at Friedman Benda Los Angeles | | Exhibition at LACMA features Scandinavian design and the United States, 1890-1980 | | Group exhibition curated by kajetan gallery Berlin opens at valerie_traan | 
Faye Toogood, Hollow II, 2021. Hand-carved oak, 35.75 x 17.25 x 19.25 inches, 91 x 44 x 49 cm. Edition of 20.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Friedman Benda is presenting Faye Toogoods Assemblage 7: Lost and Found, the groundbreaking designers third solo exhibition with the gallery. Faye Toogood digs deep in her newest body of work, Assemblage 7: Lost and Found. The roots of this body of work are signaled in the title, which implies an archaeological situation, things that have been somehow lost from view, and then reclaimed. So too with the names of individual works Plot, Barrow, Cairn, Mound. These are places that have all long-hidden secrets, which may yet be disclosed. The objects themselves are like stratigraphies exposed. They have quite literally been excavated, realized through subtractive carving. The two materials used have powerful resonance in British history. Oak, of course, is the countrys most reliable building timber, and was the principal choice for furniture in the medieval era. Those simple, muscular forms were beloved of ... More | |

LOS ANGELES, CA.- The Los Angeles County Museum of Art presents Scandinavian Design and the United States, 18901980, the first exhibition to examine the extensive design exchanges between the United States and the Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The exhibition considers Scandinavian designs enduring impact on American culture, as well as the United States influence on Scandinavian design, over nearly 100 years of cultural exchange. It features the work of Scandinavian designers who immigrated to the United States, Americans who studied or worked in Nordic countries, the ambitious campaigns to market and export Scandinavian design to American consumers, and the American and Nordic figures who championed sustainable ...

Art makes something unprecedented appear.
ANTWERP.- Man, I assert fabricates by abstraction* Art makes something unprecedented appear. Before the work of art exists, there is no content to be "expressed". The event itself, which is first evoked in the material, in the form, in the colour, is the content. Art, as sensual becoming, as sentient thinking, always opens up new openings. Creation and order, system and freedom, tradition and invention, colour and form are perhaps opposites that are necessary for thinking, but which must always be overcome. And this is precisely what happens in the exhibition kajetan at valerie_traan. Here, the separation between poetic and geometric reference to the world is reflected, corrected, undermined. Radically and freely, the artists gathered here with their works test the possibilities of non-figurative art, its sovereignty, its autonomy, and precisely by doing so, they put into the light ...

| Miles McEnery Gallery opens an exhibition of new paintings by David Huffman | | Their loved ones died. Preserved tattoos offer a way to keep them close. | | "Park Dae Sung: Ink Reimagined," major exhibition of large-scale ink paintings opens at the Hood Museum of Art | 
I Can't Breathe #7, 2020, Acrylic, oil, spray paint, African cloth, glitter and color pencil on wood panel, 72 x 59 3/4 inches, 182.9 x 151.8 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery announced an exhibition of new paintings by David Huffman. The Awakening, the artists second solo exhibition at the gallery, opened on 8 September at 525 West 22nd Street and remains on view through 15 October 2022. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue featuring an essay by Lawrence Rinder. Huffman is a painter, video and installation artist whose work merges science fiction aesthetics and the exploration of self identity. His socially conscious compositions emphasize the idea that abstraction has always been a political act; it is as entangled with the messiness of identity as it is concerned with materiality and form. Huffman is one of the progenitors of Afrofuturism, a literary, musical, and artistic movement that looks to the unfathomable possibilities of deep space as a mechanism for exploring alternative histories and futures for the African ...

Monica Gil and her son Jonathan Gil with framed tattoos dedicated to Jonathans twin brother, Jason Gil, who died in a boating accident, in Mount Arlington, N.J., Aug. 28, 2022. Dakota Santiago/The New York Times.
by McKenna Oxenden
NEW YORK, NY.- Jonathan Gil knew he would never forget the details of the day his 24-year-old twin brother died in a boating accident on Lake Hopatcong in northern New Jersey the frantic phone call from a friend, the dire search by rescuers and the dread of breaking the grim news to his mother. But Gil worried that as the months and years wore on, the memories he held of Jason beyond that tragic day would begin to fade. His familys solution: Preserve a part of his brother. Now, anytime he seeks a quick reminder of his twin, Gil glances past a collage of photos to a shelf next to his desk that acts as an altar, where the tattoo of a black and white skull and three roses, lifted and preserved on skin from Jasons left shoulder, sits protected in a frame. We have his ashes, but with ... More | | 
A behind the scenes look at the major Park Dae Sung: Ink Reimagined exhibition being installed at the Hood Museum of Art for its opening.
HANOVER, NH.- The Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College presents Park Dae Sung: Ink Reimagined, a major exhibition of contemporary Korean ink painting including 23 works, many of which are being shown for the first time in the United States. Park Dae Sung (b. 1945) transforms meditative observation into monumental artworks that revitalize traditional Korean brush and ink techniques for a modern audience. His paintings couple large scale (several works in the show are more than 25 feet long) with technical finesse, reinterpreting ancient landscapes and objects. Park Dae Sung inspires viewers to rethink modernity via tradition and engage with the impact of the past on life today.

This is the largest solo exhibition of Parks work to be presented in the United States, and only the third ... More |

| Peter Liversidge's exhibition 'an echo' is an invitation to see with the brain as well as the eyes | | Kalyon Kültür welcomes the new art season with the group exhibition "Touched by Humankind" | | 15 years of Eli Klein Gallery celebrated with group exhibition curated by Janet Fong | 
Peter Liversidge, Untitled (fruit 2), 2022, Part 1: Found TBC, Part 2: aluminium, paint on hand-painted shelf, 7 x 7.2 cm, 2 3/4 x 2 7/8 in (part 1) 7 x 7 cm 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 in (part 2). Photograph: John McKenzie
EDINBURGH.- Peter Liversidges exhibition 'an echo', explores a theme that has concerned his work for nearly 20 years. Its an idea that is currently under the spotlight in The Double, a compelling exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, which includes Liversidges work, and investigates how the double image has provided a means of understanding and exploring themes of identity and difference. Like all of his exhibitions these works began at his typewriter, with the artist typing letters to the gallery proposals on his given theme. It is difference, rather than similarity, that we are drawn to make sense of when faced with two apparently identical images. Liversidges Polaroid / Fuji FP 100C pairs, such as those on show in Washington and here in Edinburgh, are amongst the purest expressions of the idea. They ... More | |

NEW YORK, N.Y..- Eli Klein Gallery is currently presenting 1.5, a group exhibition celebrating the Gallerys 15-year journey in contemporary Asian art. Established in 2007, Eli Klein Gallery has held hundreds of exhibitions, organized numerous museum collaborations, and developed into its uniquely solid position in representing art from the East. While the 1 serves as a summary of the achievements and track record, the .5 offers an impetus forward as we deeply believe that our program will continue to strengthen. Corresponding to 1.5, the curator of the exhibition Janet Fong has invited 10 groups of artists to provide one and a half pieces of art each, adding up to a total of 15 works. This format intentionally leaves some blank spaces, allowing uncertainties and voids in concepts to be treated as contents. At the same time, it signifies that we are using ... More |

The auction will include works that have not come onto the market for years works by Tadeusz Kantor, Wojciech Fangor, Henryk Stażewski or Jerzy Nowosielski, as well as works of Polish and foreign artists of the younger generation. Never before has a Polish auction house offered so many outstanding works of art endorsed by the name of such a world-renowned collector. Her collection is the most significant in Poland: revealing, selective, marked by boldness and a unique style. In the part of the collection put up for sale there are recognised ... More  Stephanie Dabney, electrifying prima ballerina, dies at 64NEW YORK, NY.- Stephanie Dabney, a principal dancer with the Dance Theater of Harlem who became an international star and a role model for aspiring Black ballerinas, died on Sept. 28 at a nursing home in Manhattan. She was 64. Her sister, Janine Dabney-Battle, said the cause was cardiopulmonary arrest. Dabney had been living with HIV since 1990 and had weathered numerous health complications. Dabney was just 16 in 1975, when she joined the Harlem company, which was founded in 1969 by Karel Shook and Arthur Mitchell, the first Black principal dancer at New York City Ballet, to create opportunities for dancers of color. Mitchell was a protégé of George Balanchine, and Dabney was a natural fit for the companys Balanchine-based neoclassical style. Stephanie had it all: line, feet, technique, speed, imagination and the most important ... More  Second half of the Waistel Cooper retrospective on view in Edinburgh and LondonLONDON.- The Fine Art Society held the first two of four exhibitions to celebrate British potter Waistel Cooper (1921 - 2003) and his body of work in January and February this year. The exhibitions were held concurrently in Edinburgh and London and the second half of the retrospective is currently on view in both galleries since the 27th of September and will continue until the 4th of November, 2022. Last year marked the centenary of artist-potter Waistel Cooper's birth. He was a major force in the evolution of ceramics, leading the way in the 1950s for his friends and contemporaries, Hans Coper and Lucie Rie, to overturn expected potting aesthetics: eschewing elaborately decorated Victorian pots in favour of pure forms and rough, textured, sculptural pieces. It was Cooper who scored a one man show at Henry Rothschilds prestigious Primavera ... More  Phoebe Adams debuts paintings exploring environmental impact on nature in solo exhibition NEW YORK, N.Y..- The new paintings created by Phoebe Adams on view in her first solo exhibition "Nomad Walking" at the David Richard Gallery, which will continue on through to November 11th - are extraordinary on many levels. Aside from being her first cohesive series of paintings on paper laid on wood panel and canvasat this scale and three years in the makingthe imagery and underlying premise is a poignant reminder of our fragile landscapes with limited time to preserve them. The artist has created in this series of artworks a call to action to save the planet by paying attention to our environment. More important, humankind must take responsibility and curtail current consumption levels and historic activities that adversely impact the planet and ecosystems at an alarming rate and in irreversible ways. Adamss studio practice started shifting ... More  Chris Killip retrospective 'An Alternative History of Photography' at The Photographers' GalleryLONDON.- The Photographers Gallery this autumn presents a full-career retrospective of work by one of the UKs most important and influential post-war documentary photographers, Chris Killip (1946-2020). Taking place over two upper floors of the Gallery, the retrospective exhibition of more than 150 works serves as the most comprehensive survey of the photographer's work to date and includes previously unseen ephemera and colour works. Grounded in his sustained immersion into the communities he photographed, Chris Killip's photographs of those affected by economic shifts throughout the 1970s and 80s in the North of England remain without parallel. Whilst marking a moment of deindustrialisation, Killip's stark yet tender observation moves beyond the urgency to record such circumstances, to affirm the value of lives he grew close ...

MeiselNEW YORK, NY.- On Friday, October 21, 2022, at 7:00 pm, Pegasus: The Orchestra soars into their fifth season with a Lincoln Center debut concert for the ages.

Karén Hakobyan, artistic director and principal conductor, leads Pegasus: The Orchestra for this remarkably binge-worthy evening of Rachmaninoff reveling that Manhattan audiences won't soon forget. This rare and audacious marathon of all five piano masterworks ...

After more than twenty years, unique photographs emerge from Francesca Galliani's archives (photographs that Galliani printed in analogue and selenium and sepia toned herself) where the unchanged tension given by the combination of faces and bodies, - of only an apparent unambiguous genre is expressed by the intertwining of seduction, tenderness, introspection, discouragement, defiance and triumph. In the depiction of people. as in all her work, Galliani's portraits exude a longing for emotions and an attempt to capture what is most fleeting: the process of becoming. In this perspective, the artist ... More  Grace Glueck, 96, dies; Arts writer fought for equality at The New York TimesNEW YORK, NY.- Grace Glueck, a transformative journalist who broke new ground by making the art world a distinct beat at The New York Times, and who then helped bring an important sex-discrimination lawsuit against the paper, her employer of more than 60 years, died Saturday at her home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. She was 96. Her stepdaughter Susan Freudenheim confirmed the death. In more than 3,000 crisply written, sometimes contentious articles for the Times, Glueck (pronounced gluck) approached art as a reporter rather than as a critic, effectively inventing the art beat at the newspaper and inspiring other newsrooms across the county to make it a journalistic standard. Her news articles, interviews and profiles, filled with revelatory fact and often laced with wit, became a staple of the papers coverage of the visual arts ... More  Fondation Beyeler presents a large-scale installation Colombian artist Doris SalcedoBASEL.- This autumn and winter, the Fondation Beyeler is showing the large-scale installation Palimpsest by internationally renowned Colombian artist Doris Salcedo (b. 1958). Through her objects, sculptures and large site-specific interventions Salcedo addresses the impact of violence and exclusion in her native Colombia and across other regions in the world. Palimpsest focusses on the fate of refugees and migrants who have drowned in the Mediterranean or Atlantic over the past twenty years attempting to emigrate from their countries of origin in search of a better life in Europe. Palimpsest will be on display at the Fondation Beyeler until September 2023, culminating in a large-scale exhibition by the artist in summer 2023. Based on many years of research, Doris Salcedo repeatedly sets out to explore situations of conflict in which violence and ... More |
