NEW YORK, NY.- In celebration of 45 years in business, Jill Newhouse Gallery is presenting a show of 24 works on paper by Sonia Delaunay. Delaunay’s work has a critical place in the history of modern art, both for her innovative contributions to art and design, and for the unique ways in which she faced the challenges of being a female artist in the early twentieth century. Long overshadowed by the work of her husband Robert Delaunay, Sonia’s art has recently been rediscovered, with a much celebrated 2024 solo show at The Bard Graduate Center in New York, and in the Guggenheim Museum’s current exhibition Orphism in Paris 1910-1930. ...

Courtesy the Artist and Xavier Hufkens, Brussels. BRUSSELS.- WHAT IF? brings together recent work by Lynda Benglis in a wide range of media. Ceramics enter into a dialogue with cast polyurethane sculptures and a new, never previously exhibited work in aluminium, Relic (2014-2023). The selection showcases Benglis’s versatility across different techniques and materials, while also highlighting the dynamic interaction between apparent contradictions, such as organic and synthetic, fluidity and solidification, permanence and transience. The works further emphasise her abiding interest in motion, metamorphosis and the physical act of creation. Lynda Benglis’s ceramics are the ultimate embodiment of physicality. They are also the works in which the artist’s hand is most evident. She embraces the primal qualities of clay, its tactile immediacy and organic mutability. Benglis eschews conventional tools and takes ... More Ivana Kobilca, Self Portrait in Blue, 1893/95. Private collection © National Gallery of Slovenia, Ljubljana. VIENNA.- The main theme of the exhibition, a joint project with the National Gallery of Slovenia, is a defining characteristic of Slovenian painting around 1900: the intensive engagement with color. Rarely has the study of its decorative effect, symbolism, expressive power, and technical application been at the heart of artistic developments to the same extent as it was in Slovenian painting from this period. General Director Stella Rollig: The research conducted in preparation for this exhibition produced a wealth of new insights. We now have a much more nuanced picture of the influence of Slovenian artists in Vienna and a better understanding of their connections with their Austrian colleagues and with institutions such as the Belvedere. This also opened new art-historical perspectives on Slovenian painting, highlighting the modernity of the artists featured in the exhibition. Following Jožef Tominc, the outstanding painter from the pre-1848 period, ...

Throughout his career, which spanned from the 1950s to his passing in November 2023, Fink documented a broad spectrum of subjects, ranging from the glamorous scenes of Vanity Fair Oscar parties to the streets of impoverished ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Crocifisso di Luce, is a full-scale Crucifix realized by the italian Artist Filippo Biagioli in December 2024. It is a message from God, the Artist says, that tells him to realize a Rood and to carry it on his back to the Church of Santo Stefano in Serravalle (a small town in Tuscany, Italy). For this reason, Biagioli transported the sculpture from Chiesina di Ponte di Serravalle to Serravalle Pistoiese. The Artist is used to doing things like this one. After he has received various miracles, the Artist has produced and has donated what he "heard coming from the High”. Many are the important works realized by Filippo Biagioli such as Chanukkyah of 2017, Chanukkhià of 2019, Illibro dei Nomi Significati of 2019, Libri d’Oro ebraici of 2019, Trattato di Demonologia, summa verborum, numeri, temporis et spatii of 2024, Ziqquratu della Terra Santa of 2024, Spada degli Angeli of 2024, Crocifisso di Luce of 2024.

Vincenzo De Cotiis works at the cusp between art and architecture, creating a universe where form meets function, fuelled by parallelisms of space and time. The voluminous, organic shape of DC1417A Sofa Earth Suede Mirrored reflects the designer’s ability to create sculptural spaces that evoke physical and intellectual experiences.

Accompanying the exhibition is a fully illustrated digital publication featuring an essay by Patricia Junker. As Patricia Junker writes, “Bartlett embraces what he calls his topophilia: More than a connection, it is love of place.” Take his work, Home, where “we feel the texture of a subject’s madras shorts, the elasticity of her red knit headband, the suppleness of her black leather ballet flats, cast aside, and the soothing feel of cool grass on her bare feet an ...

More From DIY machines to frozen tableaux: Matthias Groebel's art explores the power of images LONDON.- Modern Art is presenting Skull Fuck, German artist Matthias Groebel’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.

This coincided with the advent of 24-hour satellite television.
