|
One of 6 Hand-colored Etchings in Miseries of Social Life Series (Estimate: $300/500).
NEW YORK, NY.- Originally scheduled to take place last February, Lark Mason Associates announces that the Works by Thomas Rowlandson from an American Collector opens for bidding on iGavelAuctions.com, September 6th through 28thth. Over 500 lots of drawings, prints and books by the satirist comprise 70 lots. Rowlandson was celebrated for ushering in the golden age of British caricature art at the turn of the 19th century. Rowlandson produced sardonic illustrations in ink and watercolor that skewered powerful political figures such as the Duchess of Devonshire, William Pitt the Younger and Napoleon Bonaparte and depicted contemporary events in a humorous robust and bawdy style. Rowlandsons drawings of life in Georgian England exposed human foibles and vanity with sympathy and rollicking humor and he achieved success selling these prints and watercolors to wealthy collectors. However, for much of his life he was an inveterate gambler and ... More |

Laura Watt, Where We Once Were, 2020. Oil on canvas, 54 x 62. © Laura Watt. Courtesy David Richard Gallery.
NEW YORK, NY.- Laura Watts newest series of paintings are presented in her second solo exhibition, Horizon Event, at David Richard Gallery. There are several common threads that tie the series together and create a dialogue between pairs of paintings. First, the compositions are created by a layering of lines containing lozenge shapes (a recurring shape for the artist) with dynamic colors and juxtapositions to create geometric vectors or swirling spirals. Second, each painting has a literal or implied horizon line that immediately evokes landscapes, despite the preponderance of paintings in the vertical orientation. Three of the artworks are vertical diptychs with one panel over the other, thus creating the literal horizon line. There are also two very long horizontal paintings, each a triptych. The strong reference to landscape was intentional by the artist. In a written statement, Watt said the ... More | | 
Il Lee, Untitled 978 F, 1997-98, ballpoint pen on paper, 80 x 60 inches (203.2 x 152.4 cm). Collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
NEW YORK, NY.- Art Projects International announced the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) recently acquired a major work on paper by the Korean-born artist Il Lee for the museum's permanent collection.

Internationally celebrated for his pioneering work with ballpoint pen and a storied career spanning nearly five decades, Lee is a trailblazer of contemporary abstraction. In 1977, Lee moved to New York to continue his studies which he had begun in the studios of South Koreas most renowned 20th century artists. Created 20 years after Lee arrived in New York, during a pivotal period of intense growth and experimentation for the artist, the 978 series works drew upon his distinct cultural background and his multifaceted ...

Pepi Schikowski, Schönheit tut weh, 190 x 150 cm, oil on canvas, 2022.
AMSTERDAM.- For the Opening of the Amsterdam Gallery Season Marian Cramer is presenting a group show with five international painters opening up on eccentric visions or small scenes that make the ordinary slip away. Breaking the rules of perspective and sometimes of propriety the redeeming smile translates into a more muted concern about the human condition. Dreamlike worlds where characters, more or less deformed, are frozen in postures both familiar and bizarre. Paintings that are characterized by their flat, saturated colors and clean, synthetic lines. The themes the artists deals with are varied, including still lifes, nature, landscapes, portraits, mythological scenes and more. All approaching these themes with energy, irony and humor, and with an eye always on art history. Through their paintings they seek to offer a story, open for interpretation. The Show runs until 28th October 2022 On ... More |

Jane Benson, Everyday to come (daisies), 2022, archival inkjet print on paper, 76,5 x 57,7 cm, courtesy PRISKA PASQUER, Cologne.
COLOGNE.- Jane Benson is known for her interventions into found objects, literature and works of art reconfiguring them into questioning recompositions. In Re-Assembly, her current exhibition at Galerie Priska Pasquer, the artist explores a prevalent illusionist trend. You may have already noticed: artificial plants are in vogue. In the past, they were frowned upon, considered as bad taste par excellence. But today, copies decorate living rooms and offices appearing deceptively real. Only after repeated looking (and feeling) can the deception be revealed. Nature is not only represented, but imitated, whereby reality and fiction merge in such a way that they become indistinguishable. In Re-Assembly, Benson puts the artificially created experience of the real to the test by transforming the gallery space into a minimal oasis. However, at second glance, the seemingly natural scenery reveals itself to be artificial in a double sense. The fl ... More | |

PARIS.- The 12th edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award is dedicated to Venezuela and its hardships at the individual, social and ecological levels. It is chaired by Quentin Bajac, director of the Jeu de Paume. The Award was awarded to Fabiola Ferrero. In her report, Fabiola Ferrero explores the disappearance of the Venezuelan middle class. A prosperous democracy in the 1960s-1970s, Venezuela is now struggling to extricate itself from a deep political and economic crisis that has widened the inequality gap and destroyed the middle class. Mixing archival images, videos and photographs, Fabiola Ferrero chronicles this vanished economic success and contrasts it with the Venezuela of today. My family, friends and later myself left Venezuela, leaving only traces of a long gone promise. I went back to dig into the past to photograph the remains of a lost glory built on oil. This project is a search for a country that existed before collapse. Fabiola Ferrero The 12th edition of t ... More |

PARIS.- The walls of Danysz Paris - Marais are full of magnetic energy with Chen Yingjies new solo exhibition: Sun and Wind, on view from September 2 to 24, 2022. The Cantonese artist continues to develop a powerful cross-breed style uniquely his own, a powerful fusion of Chinese traditional landscape painting and graffiti art. A painter, Chen is also something of a performer. His way of working is greatly gestural. Much like a Jackson Pollock, he physically engages with the canvas, with dynamic moves and splashing techniques. Sun and Wind presents the latest works by the Chinese artist who was named by Forbes one of Chinas 30 Under 30. Following his introspective journey, the young prodigy spent months painting in the Shangri-La region of Yunnan in China to give life to his latest series Paint from the Nature of Yunnan, marking the latest stage of his genre-breaking ...

Seoul Weather Station is an exhibition that uses artistic imagination and interdisciplinary cooperation as part of a multifaceted approach to the rapid environmental changes that have come about through global weather phenomena and natural disasters.
SEOUL.- Seoul Weather Station is an exhibition that uses artistic imagination and interdisciplinary cooperation as part of a multifaceted approach to the rapid environmental changes that have come about through global weather phenomena and natural disasters. Historically, humankind has viewed nature simply as something to be conquered. But the environmental crises that have become visible these daysclimate destruction, ravaged biodiversity, pollution, and so forthsend the clear message that the old perspective is no longer valid. Under these circumstances, art should be capable of exploring nature, the environment, and the Earth in new waysand of suggesting different approaches that shift us away ... More | |

More  Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History announces exhibition and book: Artists in the ArchivesMIDDLEBURY, VT.- Local history museums, archives, and collections are vital to building healthy communities and to anchoring our understanding of the world around us in the place where we live, work, and play. Collage artists have unique skills that are particularly useful in our historical moment. They understand that something beautiful, something meaningful can come from chaos; that destruction is easier than creation, which takes patience, precision, thoughtfulness, and intuition. What happens when we bring those two groups together? My initial apprehension over how effectively far-off artists can engage the historical archives of a small Vermont community was melted away by their keen and sympathetic exploration of our materials, said Garcelon-Hart. The prevailing threads that seemed to ignite the group was their compassion for the omitted ...

For this exhibition, they continued their interest in using AI and Robotics as artistic tools. They worked with Heidi to create a series of new works in homage to the modern masters who worked ...

More  Household goods that wear their fashion influences on their sleevesNEW YORK, NY.- When you ask Raf Simons, the co-creative director of Prada, why he abandoned his intended career as a furniture designer for fashion, he has two words to say: Martin Margiela (referring to the avant-garde couturier and fellow Belgian). But when Simons returned to his furnishing roots recently to create a Shaker-inspired storage system that mounts on a wall, it hardly seemed like a step away. Designed with the Danish textile company Kvadrat, the Shaker System is a sleek, upholstered bar hung with pegs for storage and other accessories (throws, caps, tote bags, leather-framed mirrors, key straps, magazine holders all by Simons). The bar, which is covered in Vidar 4 (wool with a touch of nylon), and its accouterments are a single color, presenting an elegant, unified look that erases the line between flash and functionality. (The bar starts at $410, exclusive of VAT, for a 47-inch length; the small Vidar shopping bag is $232; the leather magazine strap is $577; and the ... More  Vanja V.

Flashback On a day like today, American architect Louis Sullivan was born  September 03, 1856. September 3, 1856.- Louis Henry Sullivan (September 3, 1856 - April 14, 1924) was an American architect, and has been called the "father of skyscrapers" and "father of modernism". He is considered by many as the creator of the modern skyscraper, was an influential architect and critic of the Chicago School, was a mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright, and an inspiration to the Chicago group of architects who have come to be known as the Prairie School. Along with Henry Hobson Richardson and Frank Lloyd Wright, Sullivan is one of "the recognized trinity of American architecture". He received the AIA Gold Medal in 1944. In this image: Shoppers pass a building designed by celebrated architect Louis Sullivan, Friday, Sept. 1, 2006, in Chicago. The building, a National Historic Landmark, for now houses the Carson Pirie Scott department store. Chicago is kicking off a six-week-long 150th birthday celebration this weekend for Sullivan who is sometimes called the "father of modernism."
