VADUZ.- 2025 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, which begins with the exhibition Silver Suits You. 25 Years Loving Art.

More Model with lightbulb, London, England c.1943 by Lee Miller © Lee Miller Archives, England 2025. All rights reserved, www.leemiller.co.uk ANTWERP.- Model, war correspondent, photographer, surrealist: Lee Miller (1907-1977) wore many hats. As one of the few widely known female photographers of the first half of the 20th century she has made a valuable contribution to photography. ​In the 1930s, Lee Miller is part of the surrealist circles of Paris. At her studio she creates commercial photos for fashion magazines, sometimes also working in front of the camera. As a former model she understands posing like no one else. ​During and after the Second World War, she documents important moments as a photographer and war correspondent. This is quite a remarkable feat for a woman: such work was typically the exclusive domain of male photographers. ​ Lee Miller’s diverse, layered, and often personal corpus of work appears in well-known magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and LIFE Magazine, as well as in avant-gardist artists’ magazines. Her photographs also appear in publications by the allied ... More Minister O'Donovan launches Art as Agency at IMMA, a new landmark display of the National Collection David Kennedy Cutler moves in: Domestic chaos takes over Derek Eller Gallery Restored Tintoretto paintings to premiere in USA at Cincinnati Art Museum Minister for Arts, Culture, Communications, Media and Sport, Patrick O’Donovan, TD, pictured with Ali Curran, Chair of IMMA and Christina Kennedy, Head of Collections, IMMA at the launch of a major new display of the National Collection at the Irish Museum of Modern Art called Art as Agency featuring over 100 artists, from the 1960s to the present. DUBLIN.- Minister for Arts, Culture, Communications, Media and Sport, Patrick O’Donovan T.D. launched (Wednesday 26 February 2025) a major new display of the National Collection at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA). Art as Agency is a landmark exhibition, featuring over 100 artists, from the 1960s to the present, including many recent acquisitions. Art as Agency marks a significant shift in IMMA’s approach, moving away from fast-paced exhibition turnover to a more considered long-term model.

NEW YORK, NY.- Has anyone warned Derek Eller Gallery that for my fifth show there, it appears as though I’m moving in? That confusion could arise, for a quotidian cast of domestic subjects, including a bed, a couch, pillows, blankets, a robe, a pair of cut-off shorts, some sweet potatoes, wine bottles and an ensemble of houseplants will occupy the floors and walls. Uncharacteristically for me, I have been holding back works for this show in my studio since 2022, so that they might be seen for the first time alongside works completed just days ago, in the city in which I live—in the place where spatial and sacrificial real estate concerns are most poignant and palpable—and that my slice of un-still life is finally, at long last, given thirty days to reside in Manhattan. If that gesture seems a bit sly, the simplicity ends there, and will shortly spiral out into a vast metaphorical web, or lattice, upon which the various inevitabilities of existence can and will proliferate, cloning and ...

Tintoretto’s Genesis is a research, conservation, exhibition and publication project undertaken by Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia (GAVe); Foundation for Italian Art and Culture, New York (FIAC); and CAM to restore and preserve these important works, while enhancing scholarly understanding and public awareness of their creator, the great Venetian Renaissance painter Tintoretto.

LOS ANGELES, CA.- Street Art’s seismic superstars known by their one name–Banksy, Basquiat and RETNA–led Julien's event “URBAN LEGENDS.” Seventy masterworks by the most famous and disruptive modern street artists in the world that included Invader and Kenny Scharf went under the hammer today Thursday, February 25, 2025 at Julien’s Studios, along with hundreds of bidders and collectors from around the world participating online at Julien’s Auctions. One of Banksy’s rarest, surviving works from his German tour of 2003-2004 (prior to the formation of Pest Control) "TV Girl" was the top seller fetching $222,250. His three-color aerosol stencil and freehand work depicting a young girl embracing a television set with an orange heart on the screen was executed by the elusive British street art legend on the door panels of a transformer box originally located on the corner of Gipsstrasse and Joachimstrasse in Berlin-Mitte.

Courtesy Alexander Gray Associates, New York © 2025 Harmony Hammond / Licensed by VAGA at Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. SANTA FE, NM.- SITE SANTA FE launches an eventful 2025 with a solo exhibition by feminist icon Harmony Hammond. Hammond’s deceptively simple, near- monochrome paintings generate a robust dialogue between marginalized voices and the traditions of modernist abstraction. As a leading figure in the development of the feminist art movement in the 1970s, Hammond forged a commitment to reclaiming abstraction for gendered politics that still animates her practice. By incorporating found textiles and materials linked to “women’s work” into her paintings, Hammond seeks to topple hierarchies of fine art and craft, reclaiming the domestic arts’ rightful place in the history of abstraction. Organized by Brandee Caoba, Curator, with Samantha ... More Why did Cezanne change his mind when painting ‘Bathers’?

More El Paso Museum of Art opens a solo exhibition by Mexican-American artist Jorge Rojas EL PASO, TX.- El Paso Museum of Art, in partnership with PROArtes México, presents COYOTEK, a solo exhibition by nationally and internationally celebrated Mexican-American artist Jorge Rojas. Jorge Rojas is a multidisciplinary artist born in Morelos, México, and based in Salt Lake City, Utah.

More Raymond Saá's vibrant Cuban-jazz inspired art debuts at Morgan Lehman Gallery" NEW YORK, NY.- Morgan Lehman Gallery is presenting Pan con Timba, a solo exhibition of new works by Raymond Saá. This dynamic body of work explores abstraction through collage and painting, blending Saá’s Cuban heritage with an improvisational, process-driven approach to artmaking. The title, Pan con Timba, is inspired by a song of the same name by Afro-Cuban musician Bebo Valdés. Jazz, with its fluidity and structure, plays a central role in Saá’s artistic practice, echoing the rhythmic layering and spontaneous movement found in his compositions. Just as jazz invites innovation and interplay, Saá’s works thrive on the unexpected, drawing from formal mastery and personal intuition to create vibrant harmonies. As a secondary connection, Pan con Timba also refers to the Cuban sandwich made with bread and guava paste—a ...

Since 2014, the war has been shaping the experience of an entire generation, influencing its thinking and perception of the world. One of the first works of the exhibition is an image of an exhausted ... More Setu: A creative laboratory unveils performative art at Passerelle BREST.- Setu is like a laboratory that promotes creativity by inviting and supporting artists to present performative works, live and in writing. «Setu» means «here it is, there you are» in Breton (pronounced «saytu» ˈsetːy). «Setu» is a work of the beginning and of the end, a term which literally presents and displays. «Setu» opens and rhythms an action, thereby highlighting the current moment of the representation.

More Mike Kuchar's Show Off brings camp and erotic flair to François Ghebaly New York NEW YORK, NY.- François Ghebaly New York presents Show Off, iconoclastic filmmaker and visual artist Mike Kuchar’s newest exhibition at the gallery’s Lower East Side location. Since the 1960s, Mike Kuchar has been a majorly influential figure in the underground film and comics scenes. Together with his twin brother George, the Kuchars gained cult recognition first in the Bronx and then in San Francisco for their over-the-top, no-budget films that sent up Hollywood epics, weepy romances, and sci-fi B movies. In iconic films like Sins of the Fleshapoids (1965), The Craven Sluck (1967), and Death Quest of the Ju-Ju Cults (1976), Mike developed his distinctive style that jettisoned traditional narrative structure and acting professionalism in favor of extravagant, tender sagas that would have a significant impact on emerging theorizations of camp as an artistic sensibility. ... More Amanda Williams revives George Washington Carver's Prussian Blue in exhibition NEW YORK, NY.- In 1927, George Washington Carver (b. 1864, Diamond, MO, d. 1943) patented a formula for a Prussian Blue pigment that was never realized to its potential. Over the last two years, Amanda Williams (b. 1974, Evanston, IL) collaborated with chemistry and research students at The University of Chicago and Xavier University in New Orleans to rekindle and catalyze Carver’s process. Williams’ debut exhibition at the gallery, titled Run Together and Look Ugly After the First Rain, actualizes her version of the pigment, called Innovation Blue. A new series of paintings on panel and collages on paper resist the margins of the color blue in a meditation on Blackness. In a topographical study of medium, Williams and Carver sourced (a century apart) Alabaman red clay soil to produce their unique blue pigments. The soil and ingredients for a traditional ...
