The Frick Collection, New York; Photo by Michael Bodycomb. NEW YORK, NY.- Several of the art events Im most psyched for in the season ahead arent neatly packaged and cataloged shows. Theyre multi-venue extravaganzas, institutional self-celebrations or, in one case, the return of a monumental collection to view. The Getty-sponsored Los Angeles project formerly known as Pacific Standard Time, made up of some 70 separate, more or less concurrent exhibitions, is a major season starter in early September. The two previous incarnations of the series, in 2011 and 2017, were both LA-centric in theme. ... More |

NEW YORK, NY.- Jackie Winsor, a Canadian-born American sculptor who animated the coolly masculine and factory-polished surfaces of minimalism with a sense of new life, coaxed from natural materials including fiber, wooden logs and thick, bristly rope, died Monday in New York City.

(Benjamin Norman/The New York Times) NEW YORK, NY.- Lloyd Ziff was not yet a celebrated art director in 1968, when he photographed an art school classmate, Robert Mapplethorpe, and his girlfriend, Patti Smith, in their tiny New York City apartment. I found them very beautiful, Ziff said years later. The black-and-white portraits he took are tender and moving, almost heartbreakingly so; as James Danziger, the gallerist who showed them in 2013, said recently: Youth is moving. They capture a moment in time ... More |

London was alive with motorbike couriers darting through the streets, delivering film canisters to darkrooms and labs where they were processed through the night. By morning, the images, in the form of contact sheets, were in the hands of newspapers and clients. These darkrooms weren't just workspaces, they were social hubs where photographers ... More |

More Exhibition of eight paintings by the Lebanese-American artist Nabil Kanso opens at Martos Gallery NEW YORK, NY.- Martos Gallery is presenting The Tomorrows, an exhibition of eight paintings by the Lebanese-American artist Nabil Kanso (1940 - 2019). Organized in collaboration with the artists family and curator Kathryn Brennan, the show runs from September 6th through October 5th, 2024. As a form of resistance over his nearly five-decade artistic career, Kansoa lifelong pacifistdedicated his art to confronting continuous cycles of violence that were, in his words, assaulting the very essence of humanity. Between the mid-1970s and 2018, Kanso created works addressing the Vietnam War, the Lebanese Civil War, the Gulf War, the Iraq War and Abu Ghraib, mass incarceration, and a wide range of mythological and literary subjects. Fearlessly political, Kanso once recalled how one of his earliest supporters, the legendary ... More Ms. Taddeo goes to Hollywood WASHINGTON, CONN.- Hollywood couldnt resist Lisa Taddeos book Three Women when it was published in 2019. Three women had revealed their traumas, desires and sexual histories to Taddeo, who had traversed the country for interviews over the course of eight years. It was like gonzo journalism, if the gonzo journalist had gone to therapy. A bidding war for the bestseller ensued. Showtime won. It wasnt the highest offer, Taddeo said, but the synergy seemed promising; at the time, Showtime and her publisher, Simon & Schuster, shared a parent company, Paramount Global. Three and a half years later, the network dropped a bomb. Amid its bumpy integration into the Paramount+ streaming platform, Showtime shelved the completed series, and canceled or offloaded a handful of others. ... More The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art will open "Agency: Craft in Chicago from the 1970s-80s and Beyond" CINCINNATI, OH.- The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art announced its upcoming exhibition, Agency: Craft In Chicago from the 1970s-80s and Beyond, opening on Saturday, September 21, 2024. Part of Art Design Chicago, this exhibition explores the rise of "high-craft" in Chicago art from the 1970s through the 1980s and its impact on contemporary artists, especially those on the margins, such as immigrant, women, LGBTQ, Black, and other artists of color. The exhibition highlights how Chicago artists navigated a landscape shaped by economic barriers, limited access to formal education, and evolving gallery systems. Many artists turned to alternative spaces, such as art fairs and DIY venues, which offered more exposure and financial viability compared to traditional galleries. Focusing on craft, class, and cultural context, ... More The Oklahoma City Museum of Art announces new Board Chair, Board members OKLAHOMA CITY, OK.- The Oklahoma City Museum of Art announced the appointment of Suzette Hatfield as its new board chair in addition to six community leaders who have joined its board of trustees.

More Dance performances, festivals and more coming this fall NEW YORK, NY.- The dance world is in a festive mood this fall: It seems like everyone has a big anniversary to celebrate. All that attention on the past may explain why the programming sometimes tilts conservative, especially in ballet, where evening-length storytelling remains de rigueur. But the stories are getting more ambitious, the voices telling them more varied. And there are still plenty of artists pushing in the opposite direction. Some of the seasons most exciting dances cant even be contained by theater walls, finding their stages in parks, museums, historic buildings, farm fields. (Locations are in the New York City borough of Manhattan unless otherwise specified; dates are subject to change.) YANIRA CASTRO / A CANARY TORSI: Started in July, Exorcism = Liberation, a sweeping public art and performance project ... More 'Grounded': How a new opera changed on its way to the Met NEW YORK, NY.- Allow the creators of opera some grace. Composers, librettists and their colleagues put years of work into something that, if they are lucky, gets a workshop performance or two before arriving onstage. If there is a revival never a given in opera they have an opportunity to make revisions. This process can be brutal for artists. And its not the usual one for composer Jeanine Tesori and playwright George Brant, the creators of Grounded, which opens the Metropolitan Operas season Sept. 23. Tesori has written operas before, but she and Brant are more often animals of the traditional theater and the Broadway musical, environments where constant revisions responding to workshops, rehearsals and preview performances are the norm. Operas are also revised until the last possible moment, but they are never ... More Solway Gallery announces John E. Dowell's 'Pathways to Freedom: Uncovering the Past' CINCINNATI, OH.- In 2011, John E. Dowell dreamt of his grandmother, which led him to photograph the seminal cotton plant. The dream spawned a personal response to his ancestral legacy; from recording the beauty of cotton to imagining the horrors of slavery front and center. In the exhibition John E. Dowell: Pathways to Freedom, he uses a photographic series to place the viewer in the cotton fields, employing digital editing techniques to conjure the spirits of the dead rising from out of the cotton field. Dowells concept is to create what he calls ghost cotton, as he imagines the cotton protecting his people. While looking at a field of cotton, he felt as if he was not alone, and he felt a voice speak to him, "would you have had the courage, the strength, the wisdom to break for freedom?" The auditory apparition triggered a desire and a need ... More 15 shows to see on stages around the U.S. this fall NEW YORK, NY.- For theater companies across the United States, the start of the new season finds them still in a time of uncertainty, with audiences not yet returned to prepandemic levels. It makes sense, then, that a lot of fall programming favors the cozily familiar: revivals of known quantities and fresh takes on classic tales. This list skews more toward the adventure of wholly new work but its peppered with tempting adaptations, too. COLD CASE: An Inupiaq woman from a Native village in Alaska battles to retrieve her aunts body from an Anchorage morgue in this new play by Cathy Tagnak Rexford (HBOs True Detective: Night Country). The script won the Barrie and Bernice Stavis Playwright Award, whose previous winners include Sanaz Toossis Wish You Were Here. DeLanna Studi directs. (Sept. 6-22 in Juneau, Alaska, ...

Dating from 1917 to the present, the exhibition will feature twenty-two oil paintings, watercolors, pastel and pencil works on paper by fourteen artists. Whats New? opens on September 12th and continues through November 9th. Peter Blume (1906-1992) was known for his exploration of grand themes of growth, metamorphosis, life, and death. His remarkable painting, Winter, 1964 (48 x 60), the first of his monumental series on the four seasons, will be on view as well as vibrant expressionist abstractions from the 1950s by Elaine de Kooning (1918-1989), infused with her untamable energy; social realist observations from 1935 by Isabel Bishop (1902-1988); three visionary paintings by ...
