The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Friday, June 13, 2025 M HKA presents: The Geopolitics of Infrastructure - Contemporary Perspectives Jonas Staal, New World Summit — Rojava, 2015–18, 2016. ANTWERP.- The Geopolitics of Infrastructure brings together artists who consider the power relations of infrastructure in the trans-national geopolitical context. It also considers the possibilities of artistic imagination in conceptualising new and alternative infrastructural models. Infrastructure is big ideas. It underpins the global circulation of objects, ideas, information and people. More palpably, it finds its purpose in relation to our habitat, facilitating the flows, exchanges and support structures that shape our lives, livelihoods and societies. From our mobile phones to the products and food we buy, the water than runs out of the tap to the train taking us on a journey, it all requires substantial infrastructure, or even multiple networks of infrastructures working in synchronicity. It should come as no surprise then, when something that is normally invisible becomes increasingly all-encompassing, that it becomes hugely topical. The conquering of time and space—for these fronti ...

LORTON, VA.- Like windows into alternate worlds, the layered portraits presented by Kate Brogdon at Arches Gallery reveal more than what is apparent at the first. This is extended to the scattered containers of various things surrounding and further connecting the work on the walls. Arches Gallery presents her solo feature from 13 June until 3 August at the Workhouse Art Center. “Myth to reality” is a group of portraits painted from the world around Kate, exploring themes of perception and personal history through the other media they incorporate. These pieces use images and transient paperwork from life to show reactions toward less ideal aspects of our world, such as not being fully heard, damage to our environment or the dismaying reality of aging. A portrait was historically crafted to capture a real person; now it serves as a starting point for various tales. Many of the images draw from nature and are contrasted with discarded materials. Some may be familiar ... More Peter Freeman, Inc. unveils Alex Hay's furniture and objects in new exhibition Solo exhibition of works by Richard Prince on view at Hetzler │ Marfa Marian Goodman Gallery now representing the Estate of Ana Mendieta Untitled (Chair), 1984, wood, 50 1/2 x 22 3/4 x 13 3/4 inches (128.3 x 57.8 x 34.9 cm). Photography by Nicholas Knight. NEW YORK, NY.- Peter Freeman, Inc. is presenting Alex Hay’s seventh solo exhibition with the gallery and the first ever dedicated to his furniture and objects. Hay’s practice is driven by the materials and objects that captivate him in daily life. He applies his unique craftsmanship and economy of vision to making things, whether for personal use or as formal artwork. When he moved to Bisbee, Arizona, in the late 1970s, he started making furniture before setting up his painting studio because he wanted a chair to lean back in. This evolved into a series that included rocking benches. Around the same time, when the production of his favorite leather boots ceased, he made his own. The related tools and components—a contour gauge, precise wooden replicas of his feet, and calf forms—are on view with other objects and furniture built for his home and studio over his lifetime. Alex Hay (b. 1930) moved to New York in 1959, and by 1962 was part ... More Installation view. MARFA, TX.- Hetzler | Marfa is presenting Posters, a solo exhibition of works by Richard Prince, for the gallery’s annual presentation in Marfa, Texas. One of the foremost representatives of appropriation art, Richard Prince has been recontextualising images and ideas from mass media, advertising and entertainment since the 1970s. Often based on products of everyday American culture, his practice is one of ‘post-production’, which reworks cultural phenomena and their attributes to rewrite received narratives and our understanding of history. The present exhibition brings together a large body of Princes’ Poster works on canvas and on paper, created between 2014 and 2024. The large canvases show reproductions of advertisements for mail- order posters, as were often found at the back of magazines in the second half of the 20th century. Hugely popular at the time, these printed images represent touchstones of early counter-cultural magazines, which are among Princes’ long-ter ... More Portrait of Ana Mendieta © The Estate of Ana Mendieta Collection, LLC. Licensed by Artists Rights Society (ARS), NY. Courtesy Marian Goodman Gallery. NEW YORK, NY.- Marian Goodman Gallery announced the global representation of the Estate of Ana Mendieta in collaboration with Alison Jacques in London and Prats Nogueras Blanchard in Spain (Barcelona and Madrid). The gallery will present its first solo exhibition of Mendieta’s work in November 2025 at our headquarters in New York. Ana Mendieta (1948-1985) was a prolific multidisciplinary artist who primarily used elements from nature such as earth, water, fire and flora. Mendieta’s oeuvre includes painting, drawing, photography, film/video, sculpture and site-specific works. Her singular interventions embraced the extremities of nature and disrupted societal conventions. In her sculptures, Mendieta employed her own body as a canvas to initially connect with the earth, and ultimately as a means of expression to convey notions of existence, resurgence and renewal. These site-inclusive works, exquisitely ethereal and transitory, were ... More mumok unveils first solo museum exhibition outside Japan for Vienna-based artist Kazuna Taguchi Thaddaeus Ropac Seoul presents "Dwelling in Mist and Glow," Lee Kang So's first solo gallery show Ketterer Kunst dominates German auction market with €26 million sale Kazuna Taguchi, The eyes of Eurydice #32, 2022. Gelatin Silver Print, 16.6 x 12.1 cm. Courtesy of the artist. VIENNA.- mumok presents the first solo museum exhibition of Kazuna Taguchi outside Japan, who lives and works in Vienna since 2013. The artist studied painting at Tokyo University of Arts. Her enigmatic works depict body fragments, gestures, and gazes in the surrealist tradition of undermining conventional representations of the female body. Drawing from a repository of image sources, Taguchi interweaves different temporalities, narrative spaces, and viewing regimes. In her pictures, the figures seem suspended in a phantasmatic moment between appearance and vanishing. Taguchi’s transitory work at the threshold between painting and photography self- reflexively echoes the historical discourses of both media and draws inspiration from collective visual memory. Her working method privileges repetitive resonance and reanimation over conventions of new creation and linear progression. Time and again, she ... More Portrait of Lee Kang So, 2024. © Lee Kang So Zagupsil. Photo: Chan Woo Park. SEOUL.- Following a major retrospective of Lee Kang So’s work at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA) in 2024, Thaddaeus Ropac Seoul presents Dwelling in Mist and Glow, the artist’s first solo show at the gallery. Spanning five decades of his multimedia artistic production, the exhibition presents paintings, prints, sculptures and an installation that crystallise the uniquely expressive nature of Lee’s practice, which has blazed a trail in contemporary Korean art. The title of the exhibition is drawn from a classical Korean poem written by Yi Hwang, a renowned 16th-century Confucian scholar. Composed during a retreat to Andong mountain, the poem reflects Yi Hwang’s deep engagement with nature: ‘Dwelling in mist and glow / Befriending wind and moon’. Lee Kang So profoundly resonates with the poet’s sense of unity with nature, which echoes his own conception of art as an act of attunement with the natural realm and its ever-shifting ... More Robert Ketterer selling Edvard Munch’s “The Red House“, the top lot in the Evening Sale on June 6, 2025. MUNICH.- Ketterer Kunst's steady focus on quality over quantity has proven its worth in these challenging times. A total of 240 lots raised €26 million on June 6 and 7, securing the auction house's position as Germany's leading auction house once again. Fierce bidding contests in both the Evening Sale and the Day Sale led to a number of spectacular price hikes. Five lots in the Evening Sale broke the million-euro mark. Leading the way was Edvard Munch's “Das rote Haus” (The Red House), the Norwegian artist's first painting to be auctioned in Germany, fetching €2.04 million – the German auction season's top result. Following a heated bidding battle, it was eventually acquired by a New York collector. Selling for €1.68 million, a Pablo Picasso gouache with a grandiose variation on the artist and model motif also went to a New York bidder, while another American collector secured a colorful large-format work by Morris Louis for €1.14 million. Fetching €1.26 ...

More State Museum partnered with Albany Medical Center to advance its research and understanding of two important artifacts. ALBANY, NY.- New York State Museum paleontologists have traveled 70-80 million years into the past in collaboration with radiological experts at Albany Medical Center. The strategic partnership between the two research institutions allowed scientists to take a look inside two of the Museum’s rarest artifacts, including a dinosaur egg believed to be from a Hadrosaur—a duck-billed dinosaur from the late Cretaceous Period, and the skull of a Giant Beaver (Castoroides ohioensis)—an extinct Ice Age mammal that was as large as a modern black bear. The New York State Museum’s collection holds the first described skull of a Giant Beaver, and while the dinosaur egg likely originates from Asia, this group of dinosaurs was known to have also lived in the Northeastern United States. CT scan technology allowed researchers to digitally examine the internal structure of both ... More "Enigmatic and uncanny" - Victor Man's charged vision More News Exhibition at Museum of Decorative Arts and Design unites Iveta Vecenāne's textiles with Latvian folk art RIGA.- From 12 June to 24 August 2025, the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design in Riga (Skārņu iela 10), in co-operation with the Latvian National Centre for Culture, invites to visit the Meadow exhibition where textile works by the renowned artist Iveta Vecenāne are showcased alongside traditional woven blankets crafted by artisans from various regions of Latvia. The concept of the exhibition is to create a multidimensional space for story about the relationship between people, nature and art in today’s world. Moreover, it provides an opportunity for dialogue between professional and folk art within the realm of textile craftsmanship encouraging broader conversations on cultural heritage, the synergy between different cultural fields and the interconnections between textile art, design and traditional crafts. The exhibition aims to foster an appreciation for the preservation ... More Maruani Mercier presents a group show exploring multifaceted womanhood BRUSSELS.- Maruani Mercier is presenting Echoes of Her, a group show at its Brussels gallery. With this exhibition, the gallery aims to explore the multifaceted nature of womanhood by examining its complexity through a diverse selection of works by; Cornelius Annor, Kwesi Botchway, Louise Bourgeois, Jaclyn Conley, Francesco Clemente, Michael Dweck, Esiri Erheriene-Essi, Eric Fischl, Kate Gottgens, Joan Jonas, Titus Kaphar, Alex Katz, David LaChapelle, McDermott & McGough, Toiletpaper, Andy Warhol and Sue Williams. In Echoes of Her, seventeen artists, each shaped by distinct cultural, geographical, and personal perspectives, reflect on the layered intricacies of womanhood across different lived realities and social landscapes. Including painting, photography, sculpture, and mirrored works that at times quite literally implicate the viewer, the exhibition brings forth meditations on identity, ... More "Correspondences" explores memory and connection in new group show at François Ghebaly New York NEW YORK, NY.- François Ghebaly New York is presenting the first iteration of Correspondences, featuring Heidi Bucher, Craig Jun Li, Alix Vernet, and Willa Wasserman. The second iteration of the exhibition will take place at the Los Angeles gallery over the summer. Correspondences is a group exhibition about memory and the outstretched hand. The title can mean "affinities,” or alternately "dialogues” and actual letter-writing. The perspectives in the exhibition imagine subjects tethered across divides, spanned by an outward or inward (and perhaps futile, messianic*) reach toward counter, familiar, distant textual location, or the shifting mythology of oneself. Heidi Bucher was a Swiss artist who is best remembered for her innovative use of latex and exploration of the physical and psychic boundaries between the body and its surroundings. Serving simultaneously as means ... More Tate Britain unveils major Edward Burra retrospective, first in London in 40 years LONDON.- One of the most distinctive British artists of the 20th century, the enigmatic painter Edward Burra (1905 – 1976) is best-known for his vivid and surreal scenes of cafés, clubs and cabarets. Imbued with a satirical humour, his unique works captured a rapidly changing society, sharing the experiences of those on the margins and offering a window into their world. Tate Britain presents the artist’s first retrospective in over a decade and the first in London in 40 years. From his immersion in cultural life during the Roaring Twenties, to his personal experience of major conflicts, the exhibition presents an in-depth view of Burra’s radical career across more than 80 paintings and previously unseen material from Tate’s archive. Organised chronologically, the exhibition covers Burra’s 50-year practice, from early works painted soon after graduating from the Royal College of Art to his ... More Gagosian celebrates 30 years at Art Basel with presentation curated by Francesco Bonami BASEL.- Gagosian is celebrating the gallery’s thirtieth year at Art Basel with a major presence throughout the city, anchored by a presentation at the fair curated by Francesco Bonami. In addition, the gallery takes an ambitious approach to Art Unlimited, showing more large-scale works than ever before, while a group exhibition at Gagosian’s permanent space at Rheinsprung 1 offers a distinct space to explore the gallery’s program in even more depth. At the fair, Bonami mixes new, recent, and rare artworks in groupings that invite comparison across mediums and between artists represented by the gallery. He explains: “We are bridging the gap between curatorial idealism and the art fair format, and we are doing so at scale, highlighting signature works from Gagosian artists and placing them in thoughtful dialogue with each other.” Among the themes in Bonami’s presentation one can ... More Rodolfo Abularach's underrecognized "Cosmic Vision" explored in groundbreaking New York exhibition NEW YORK, NY.- David Nolan Gallery announced its first solo show of one of Latin America’s most significant yet under recognized artists, Rodolfo Abularach (Guatemalan, 1933-2020).

More The Hepworth Wakefield and Art Fund launch &pound3.8m public appeal to save Barbara Hepworth artwork LONDON.- Award-winning museum The Hepworth Wakefield and national charity Art Fund today launched an urgent public appeal to save a rare and outstanding artwork by Dame Barbara Hepworth for the nation.

The appeal is backed by artists and creatives including Jonathan Anderson, Richard Deacon, Jenny Eclair, Sir Antony Gormley, Katy Hessel, Sir Anish Kapoor, Veronica Ryan, Joanna Scanlan and Dame Rachel Whiteread. Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975) is one of the most important artists of the 20th century whose art has defined what we think of as modern sculpture today. A ...
