Ha Chong-Hyun exhibition traces decades of material innovation Kim Tschang-Yeul's water droplets explore purification and the void in new exhibition Hans Hollein exhibition showcases iconic works and unveils his transdisciplinary approach Predominantly known for his minimalist “Dansaekwha” paintings, South Korean artist Ha Chong-Hyun (born 1935) has spent six decades pioneering new forms in abstract painting. SEOUL.- Art Sonje Center is presenting Ha Chong-Hyun 5975, an exhibition dedicated to the early works of Korean artist Ha Chong-Hyun, spanning the years 1959 to 1975. Running from February 14 to April 20, this exhibition investigates how Ha’s materials and techniques evolved in dynamic interaction with the socio-historical context of South Korea. As one of the leading figures of the Korean monochrome painting (Dansaekhwa) movement, Ha’s innovative approaches have significantly contributed to contemporary discussions surrounding materiality and abstraction in art. This exhibition celebrates his long-standing artistic evolution, highlighting the relevance of his pioneering techniques and persistent innovation in today’s global art discourse. Ha’s early works reflect the artist’s response to the upheavals of Korean modern history, including the Korean ... More Installation view. BRUSSELS.- Almine Rech Brussels is presenting 'L'origine du vide,' Kim Tschang-Yeul's third solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from March 14 to April 12, 2025. Kim Tschang-Yeul has a history rife with struggle and exile. When he was only 15, he escaped his village in North Korea by night. He never saw his family again, including his beloved grandfather, who founded the village school and inspired him to be an artist and whose fate he never learned. Forced to serve in the army against the communists, the artist saw his friends perish and almost died at the front himself. Civil war and exile left deep wounds. Influenced by postwar Korean art movements, for fifty years Kim Tschang-Yeul developed a remarkable oeuvre that is absolutely unique and focused on a single theme: water droplets. These droplets are not just the expression of an Asian sensibility connected to nature and the spirituality of Zen or Taoism. They also represent a process of purification, an effort to transform the trauma of ... More Hans Hollein, La Strada Novissima façade, Venice Biennale of Architecture, « La présence du passé », 1980 © Architekturzentrum Wien, Collection / Archive Hans Hollein, Az W and MAK, Vienne © Private Archive Hollein. PARIS.- The "Hans Hollein transFORMS" exhibition provides a better understanding of the coherence between the creative and critical approaches of Austrian architect Hans Hollein (1934-2014). It showcases his most iconic pieces which themselves reflect research spanning over half a century. Today, the view of his “style” as postmodern deserves further study in light of his involvement in the various movements that shaped the post-avant-gardism of the 1960s to 1980s, ranging from Informalism to Conceptualism and the Radical Architecture movement. In 1987, the Centre Pompidou devoted a significant exhibition to Hollein in the Forum, and after he passed away, the Centre Pompidou - Musée National d’Art Moderne acquired a vast collection in 2016, including installations, models, drawings and documentation on all aspects ...

LONDON.- Serpentine presents Remembering, the first institutional solo exhibition of Arpita Singh’s work in London. Open at Serpentine North from 20 March to 27 July 2025, the exhibition will showcase works selected in consultation with the artist from her prolific career which expands over six decades. Born in Baranagar in 1937, Singh emerged in the 1960s, developing a painting practice that brings together Surrealism and figuration with Indian Court painting narratives. She combined this with periods of abstraction, using pen, ink, and pastels to form dynamic lines and perforations on the surface to create layers and textures. Remembering at Serpentine North will explore the full breadth of her practice, ranging from large-scale oil paintings to more intimate watercolours and ink drawings. The paintings on view will celebrate Singh’s endless experimentation with colour and mark making to figuratively explore emotional responses to social upheaval and international humanitarian cr ...

The exhibition is co-curated by Ellen Bruss Chief Curator, Miranda Lash, and Associate Curator, Leilani Lynch, and features a wide array of over 70 artworks the artist has developed over the past several years. Showcasing Kang’s deft use of materials — from traditionally woven grass mats, dyed wool, and mulberry paper, to industrial materials like steel and brass — to create wondrous and spiritual objects and installations, the exhibition brings the artist’s vision of the landscape into three dimensions. Sculptures, wall-based works, textiles, installations, and video will occupy the entirety of MCA Denver’s building and highlight her singular approach to engaging with these materials. Kang’s practice is deeply connected with the natural world and ... More Installation view. MANILA.- This exhibition celebrates the late artist Pacita Abad (1946-2004) as a Philippine painter. Born in Batanes, the Philippines’ northernmost province, Pacita left the country in 1970, resided in 14 cities, and traveled to over 60 countries, living a peripatetic life. She acknowledged the important influence travel had on her work yet also remarked in an interview in 1985, “But I’d rather be known as a Filipino painter, wherever I am.” While she eventually became a United States citizen in 1994, Pacita retained her dual citizenship and repeatedly referred to her background in the Philippines as a source of her work, attributing it to her love for nature and people as subjects of her art. At the core of Pacita’s artistic practice is painting which she explored since her turn to the visual arts in the mid-1970s. Pacita graduated from political science at the University of the Philippines in 1969, intending to follow her parents’ political career. As tensions mo ... More A new association for decorative arts enthusiasts offers its first multi-day program 1796 Quarter Dollar from Frost Collection among top draws at Heritage's April 3-6 US Coins Auction ICA/Boston announces Sarah Sze as inaugural recipient of the Meraki Artist Award For people interested in joining FOS in conjunction with registering for the Philadelphia Experience, annual membership (normally $120) for the first year will cost $95. NEW YORK, NY.- For years, members of the community who work in and appreciate decorative arts have struggled to invigorate the field with interest from new audiences. Just six short months ago, however, a group of twelve creative and skilled professionals from across the decorative arts world came together and launched Fine Objects Society (FOS) with Please Touch, an exhibition in New York City. The response was overwhelmingly enthusiastic with a rapidly growing membership including decorative arts professionals, collectors and people simply curious about the power, beauty and meaning of objects. Monthly member events as well as special programs held during January’s Americana Week in New York have drawn people of all ages who are passionate about historic craftsmanship and the unique ways in which objects can ... More 1796 Quarter Dollar, MS61. DALLAS, TX.- A magnificent example of the rarer B-1 variety of a 1796 quarter will be among the top attractions at Heritage’s April 3-6 US Coins Signature® Auction. The offered 1796 Quarter Dollar, MS61 PCGS comes from the Frost Collection and is among the rarest of its kind. “The B-1 is the rarer variety, especially for those examples graded in Mint State, with about one-third as many examples as there are of the B-2,” says Todd Imhof, Executive Vice President at Heritage Auctions. “This example is extraordinary, tied at the low end of the Rea-Polizio-Moulton Census, behind only four MS63 examples and one MS66 coin.” From a low original mintage, perhaps as many as 100 Mint State 1796 quarters remain in existence, but considering the many factors that make this issue eminently collectible, there are not nearly enough Uncirculated examples to satisfy demand, making examples like the one offered in this auction exceedingly appealing to serious collectors. The Frost Collection is an ... More Sarah Sze. Photo by Deborah Feingold. BOSTON, MASS.- The Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston (ICA) announced Sarah Sze (b. 1969, Boston, MA) as the inaugural recipient of its new Meraki Artist Award. Widely recognized for expanding the boundaries between painting, sculpture, video, and installation, Sze’s work blends the intimate with the monumental, precision with chaos, and the physical with the digital. Her intimate paintings and large-scale installations and public works challenge perceptions of space, time, and scale, making her one of the most compelling artists of our time. "It's a huge honor to be the first recipient of the Meraki Artist Award and I'm inspired by the dedication to love, care, and art that the award stands for,” said Sze. Generously funded by Fotene Demoulas, the $100,000 award celebrates the artistic achievements of women artists and their impact on the field of contemporary visual art. Sze will accept the Meraki Artist Award at the museum’s annual Women’s ...

More Hayward Gallery Touring announce further details on Lynette Yiadom-Boakye curated exhibition LONDON.- Hayward Gallery Touring will present To Improvise a Mountain, a group exhibition curated by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, one of the most important figurative painters today. For this exhibition, Yiadom-Boakye selects works that have been critical to her way of seeing and thinking, inviting audiences around the UK on a deeply personal journey across different geographies and generations of artists. First coming to prominence in the early 2010s, Yiadom-Boakye is both an artist and a writer who is renowned for her oil paintings of imagined subjects.

More Spritmuseum announces extension of acclaimed Warhol exhibition STOCKHOLM.- Spritmuseum in Stockholm announced that the acclaimed exhibition Money on the Wall: Andy Warhol has been extended until September 14, 2025. Curated by renowned art critic and Warhol expert Blake Gopnik, this exhibition explores Warhol’s concept of Business Art — 'the step that comes after art.' "People who claim Andy Warhol was a sell-out are absolutely right. Business Art was one of his most important and influential art forms. And from the very beginning, the dollar bill was one of Andy Warhol’s favourite motifs" says Blake Gopnik. From the day he launched his Pop Art, early in 1961, Warhol played with the idea that he was participating in the money-making values of the consumer culture he depicted. By the end of the 1960s, Warhol was participating in — and had played a role in launching — a new trend in conceptual ... More Joana Choumali's Yougou-Yougou series debuts at Harvard Art Museums CAMBRIDGE, MASS.- The Harvard Art Museums, in partnership with Harvard’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, present a new body of work by Ivorian multimedia photographic artist Joana Choumali.

More Ilona Németh's "Thuja" exhibition marks Gandy Gallery's 20th anniversary in Bratislava BRATISLAVA.- Gandy Gallery is presenting a second solo exhibition by Ilona Németh, this exhibition by one of Central Europe's most important artists also marks the gallery's 20th anniversary in Bratislava, after 13 years in Prague. In recent years, I've observed that thuja trees in southern Slovakia are gradually dying, drying out, and turning redish - individual parts of the trees die, and eventually, entire trees and shrubs perish. I began monitoring and collecting information about them. These trees are gradually disappearing from our region due to warmer climates and the emergence of new insect species that have arrived because of climate change. Thuja trees originate from America and have been with us in Central Europe since the 16th century. In various languages, it is called the "tree of life". Symbolically, I perceive their gradual extinction as a sigh ... More National treasures return home to local communities in latest round of the Weston Loan Programme with Art Fund LONDON.- Announced today, the latest round of the Weston Loan Programme with Art Fund will see national treasures travel to 11 regional museums and galleries across the UK - reuniting iconic works with the people and places that inspired them.

Now in its ninth year, the Weston Loan ... More Tomoo Gokita: Dreamlike amalgamation of pop culture and abstraction at MASSIMODECARLO PARIS.- MASSIMODECARLO Pièce Unique is presenting the work of Japanese artist Tomoo Gokita. Recently exhibited in the ICA Milano’s show Gumbo, these works exemplify Gokita’s improvisational approach to painting—an intuitive process where chance plays a fundamental role. His practice, which teeters between figuration and abstraction, embodies a symbiotic amalgamation of influences, bringing together elements of vintage imagery and pop-culture to create a complex pictorial universe. Gokita was first appraised for his monochrome, black-and-white gouaches, which evoke a sense of nostalgia and ephemerality, akin to faded photographs that paradoxically feel both foreign and familiar. However, in early 2020, he re-infused his oeuvre with color, expanding his visual vocabulary while maintaining the same dreamlike, enigmatic atmosphere that defines ... More Cristin Tierney announces move to Tribeca NEW YORK, NY.- Cristin Tierney Gallery announced the opening of its new ground-floor space at 49 Walker Street, in the heart of the Tribeca Art District.
