NEW YORK, NY.- Edward Hoppers New York, on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art from October 19, 2022, through March 5, 2023, offers an unprecedented examination of Hoppers life and work in the city that he called home for nearly six decades (190867). The exhibition charts the artists enduring fascination with the city through more than 200 paintings, watercolors, prints, and drawings from the Whitneys preeminent collection of Hoppers work, loans from public and private collections, and archival materials including printed ephemera, correspondence, photographs, and notebooks.

Zdenek Sykora was known for his partially computer-generated line paintings, and two of these are featured in the 1 December auction, No. 8 Trio Op 2, 1978 (lot 3462, CHF 150 000 / 250 000), and Linie No 65, 1990 (lot 3463, CHF 70 000 / 90 000).

SEOUL.- Lehmann Maupin Seoul presents Recombinant, a dual exhibition of new work by Mandy El-Sayegh and Seoul-based artist Keunmin Lee. The exhibition takes its title from recombinant DNA, a phenomenon in genetics in which pieces of genetic information from separate genes, cells, or organisms are exchanged to create new forms. The show is the result of a process of collaboration and exchange between the two artists, who met several years ago after El-Sayegh discovered Lees work through a search-engine algorithm that suggested its similarity to her own. The pair began a correspondencelargely through sharing images, since they do not speak a common languagediscovering aesthetic connections and intersecting artistic impulses within their practices. Recombinant brings together works which, in different ways, use imagery of the body (often in abstracted forms) to connect to wider themes, particularly around how individual ... More |

Mark Smith automobilia collection kept bidders engaged at Milestone's $600K auction.
WILLOUGHBY, OHIO.- The multifaceted collection of the late Mark Smith was the cornerstone of an exciting $613,000 event held at Milestone Auctions suburban Cleveland gallery on October 15th. Smith, a Virginia businessman, was a passionate and very hands-on collector of automotive advertising and memorabilia, a reflection of his involvement in the car industry. But there was much more to Smiths collecting interests than just motoring, said Miles King, co-owner of Milestone Auctions. Approximately 500 lots in the 740-lot auction came from Marks collection, and the variety showed very clearly that he didnt place any restrictions on what he bought. He had a great eye and excellent instincts. If something appealed to him, he bought it. He was also very shrewd about buying up rare car and motorcycle parts, which only grew in value over the years. In the run-up to the sale, our phones rang constantly with inquiries abou ... More | |
The Mill, Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch, 1870 - 1903. Gift of Mr and Mrs Drucker-Fraser, Montreux
AMSTERDAM.- The Rijksmuseum presents Longing for Nature, an exhibition at Schiphol Airport of eleven 19th-century landscape paintings from the museums own collection. The paintings by artists including Willem Roelofs, Anton Mauve and Richard Roland Holst show how the portrayal of the landscape changed with the rise of industry. Initially, artists depicted nature as vast and imposing, but then the human influence became increasingly present in the paintings, until ultimately a longing for unspoilt nature came to dominate. The works will be on display for a year from 5 November 2022 at Rijksmuseum Schiphol, the branch of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdams Schiphol Airport. Until 1850, nature was seen as powerful and unchanging, and it was hardly imaginable that humans could have a lasting influence on it. Artists such as Willem Roelofs painted nature alive with drama and contrast, as in his 1850 painting ... More |

Born in 1975 in Beijing, where he still lives, Huang earned a degree in mural painting in 2000 from that citys Central Academy of Fine Arts. Since then, he has participated in numerous group exhibitions and had solo shows at distinguished galleries and museums throughout China and Europe. His work has appeared at institutions including the West Bund Museum, Shanghai; Minsheng Modern Art Museum, Shanghai; and Powerlong Museum, Shanghai, and he ... More | |

Gordon Parks, Stokely Carmichael, Lowndes County, Alabama, 1966, printed 2022, gelatin silver print, courtesy of and © The Gordon Parks Foundation. Carmichael on the road in Lowndes County, Alabama, 1966.
HOUSTON, TX.- In 1967, Life magazine published photographer Gordon Parks groundbreaking images and profile of Stokely Carmichael, the young and controversial civil-rights leader who, as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, issued the call for Black Power in a speech in Mississippi in June 1966, eliciting national headlines, and media backlash. On the road with Carmichael and the SNCC that fall and into the spring of 1967, Parks took more than 700 photographs as Carmichael addressed Vietnam War protesters outside the U.N. building in New York, with Martin Luther King, Jr.; spoke with supporters in a Los Angeles living room; went door to door in Alabama registering Black citizens to vote; and officiated at his sisters wedding in the Bronx.

Dyke II, 2021, oil on paper, 70 x 50 cm, Mathias Deutsch, 1967 in Rendsburg,
HAMBURG.- In his first solo exhibition, recently opened on November 3rd, entitled Brushcleaning Landscapes at the Drawing Room, Mathias Deutsch (* 1967 in Rendsburg) is showing 15 paintings of the same format that he painted in oil on paper between 2020 - 2022. The sheets hang unframed in front of the wall on clamps attached to nails. This purist hanging allows a direct engagement with the surfaces of the individual sheets, which flutter quietly in the wind as they pass through the gallery space. The exhibition title Brushcleaning Landscapes, which will end on Decedmber 12th, refers to the genesis of the oil paintings in 70 x 50 cm format. Deutsch worked on large-format paintings in oil on canvas and, after the painting process, spread his brushes, which were covered with paint residue, on paper. Looking at these sheets, which were destined for the trash, he noticed with his artistically trained eye that the brushstrokes ... More | |

NEW YORK, NY.- Gagosian is presenting Well Keep On Dancing Till We Pay the Rent, an exhibition of new paintings, sculptures, and drawings by Glenn Brown. Wielding a broad knowledge of art history, literature, music, and popular culture, Brown creates images and forms in which divergent references collide and playfully coexist. By harnessing the lingering allure and historical resonance of old master drawings, he transforms their past imagery into something rich and strange. The new paintings on view in New York include double portraits, twisted figures, and a large-scale still life with ripened quinces. The artists exacting mark making, which produces intricate loops and swirls of paint that appear to glide and float across the canvases surfaces, infuses these works with an ethereal vitality. After his last New York exhibition in 2014, Brown spent time concentrating exclusively ... More |

Review: In 'Only Gold,' each move is worth 1,000 words
NEW YORK, NY.- The cutesy Frenchness of Only Gold, a dance-musical hybrid directed and choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler, begins even before the lights go up. (The preshow announcement is winkingly bilingual.) But it really moves into overdrive when Kate Nash, an English singer-songwriter who provided the music and lyrics, arrives onstage and says: Paris. 1928. A time when rules were ready to be broken. A show that starts that way should come with a content warning: These cliches may hurt your teeth. The upside of Only Gold, which opened Monday at MCC Theater, is that it is so pretty to look at, and so musically dreamy, you can mostly tune out the words. Nashs are hard to decipher anyway; because rhyme and scansion arent her thing, the ear gets no help. In the song Misery, for instance, the line I will never leave ... More
James Cohan now represents Los Angeles-based painter Jesse Mockrin
NEW YORK, NY.- James Cohan announced the representation of Los Angeles-based painter Jesse Mockrin. Mockrin's work is currently on view in the 2022 Biennale de Lyon. The artist will have her debut solo exhibition with the gallery in September 2023. Jesse Mockrins luminous oil paintings extract details from European Old Master paintings, reformulating and recontextualizing cultural narratives and art historical motifs to speak to the present. For Mockrin, these paintings and stories function as an entry point into an ongoing conversation about images, time, appropriation, and gender constructs. As the artist notes, In referencing art history in my work, I am particularly interested in the ever-evolving meaning attached to images, how they transform over time and across culture, and how the act of bringing them into our present context expands ...

'This Art Form is Beautiful and Magical": Jim Lee brings a career-spanning collection to Heritage for auction
DALLAS.- 'This Art Form is Beautiful and Magical': Jim Lee Brings a Career-Spanning Collection of Original Comic Book Art to Heritage in November. The creator offers works from his historic runs on The Punisher War Journal, X-Men titles, Deathblow, Batman and Superman Unchained. It's a question often asked by the outside observer perplexed by the ever-increasing interest in and value of original pages of comic-book art: Why? Yet the answer remains straightforward; the explanation is perhaps even obvious. Because these are the raw, handmade images that sparked the imagination of countless children raised by superheroes and their archnemeses. They are the singular moments before these graphite-on-Bristol board renderings were replicated for spinner racks and comic-shop shelves. In a world where everything can ... More
