The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Saturday, February 8, 2025 Gorgeous French faience ceramics make debut in Nevers in the World exhibition France (Nevers), Gadrooned Dish, ca. 1700, Faience, Bequest from the Collection of Sidney R. Knafel 2023.3.24 WELLESLEY, MASS.- Nevers in the World is an intimate exhibition of 11 newly- acquired seventeenth- to nineteenth-century French ceramics that were recently donated to the Davis Museum at Wellesley College. The French faience vessels are highly stylized glazed ceramics, created using a tin-glaze technique that originated in the Middle East, likely around Iraq, as a response to the vibrant white porcelain of China. Over time, this technique spread to Egypt, Spain, Italy, and eventually France, where it evolved into a distinctive art form. The works are on view from February 7 to June 1, 2025 as part of three new free exhibitions at the Davis Museum, celebrating new acquisitions. The Nevers in the World exhibition spotlights these beautifully glazed vessels, used mostly for dining tables, and illustrate a cross-cultural migration from their early origins in Iraq to the early iterations of Italian pieces and ex ...

PARIS.- RM Sotheby’s has achieved auction history by conducting the highest grossing collector car sale in Europe. The two-day Paris sale on 4-5 February achieved total sales of €66,490,850, during which the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM was the undoubted star of proceedings. The historically significant Ferrari 250 LM was the Chinetti/NART entry for the 1965 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a race in which Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt achieved overall victory, a feat not accomplished again by a Ferrari until 2023. The car then went on to be one of just six Ferraris to compete at Le Mans three times in the Enzo era. Following on from the record price of €51,155,000 achieved for the 1954 Mercedes Benz W 196 R Stromlinienwagen in Stuttgart last week, the 250 LM brought an astonishing €34,880,000, against a pre-sale estimate of €25,000,000 Euro. The sum makes it the sixth most valuable car to be sold at public auction and the fourth most valuable Ferrari ever sold publicly. O ... More Wols rediscovered: Galerie Karsten Greve showcases the Ewald Rathke Collection Fujiko Shiraga: Rediscovering a Gutai pioneer at Fergus McCaffrey, Tokyo Rijksmuseum presents Europe's first major survey of American photography Wols, Untitled (Surrealist Composition), ca. 1939/40. Ink and watercolour on paper, 36,8 x 26,5 cm / 14 1/2 x 10 1/2 in. Courtesy of Galerie Karsten Greve, Cologne | Paris | St. Moritz. COLOGNE.- Galerie Karsten Greve announces the exhibition Wols. Ewald Rathke Collection. The exhibition shows 15 works from the recently acquired collection of the Frankfurt art historian and art dealer and thus honours Ewald Rathke's extraordinary contribution to Wols' oeuvre. Presented together for the first time, the works on paper, executed in ink and watercolor, illustrate the epochal significance of his artistic work up to around 1945. Ewald Rathke (1926-2024) was an art historian with a doctorate in modern art with a focus on hand drawings, watercolors and graphic art; his dissertation entitled ''Bildnistypen bei Frans Hals'' [“Types of Portraits in the Work of Frans Hals”]. From 1959 to 1961, he co-managed the Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen in Düsseldorf together with Karl-Heinz Hering. In 1961, Ewald Rathke was appointed director of the Frankfurter Kunstverein, where he organized exhibitions on ... More Installation views of ‘Fujiko Shiraga’, at Fergus McCaffrey Tokyo, 2025. Photo by Ryuichi Maruo. Courtesy of Fergus McCaffrey. TOKYO.- Fergus McCaffrey, Tokyo is presenting the first solo exhibition of the works of Gutai artist Fujiko Shiraga. Shiraga was born in Osaka Prefecture, Japan in 1928. She graduated from Osaka Prefecture Otemae High School in 1946 and two years later, she married Kazuo Shiraga (1924-2008). Shiraga and Kazuo Shiraga were both members of the avant-garde art collective Gutai. Like many other Gutai artists, Shiraga received no formal training as an artist and her earliest extant works date from 1955 and came under the guidance of Gutai founder, Jiro Yoshihara. During the latter half of the 1950s, Shiraga's experiments with paper yielded collages. She wetted and glued large sheets of monochromatic Japanese paper of different weights and transparencies before manually distressing them with concave and convex forms pressed with her hands. She would then tear through several of the layers of the conjoined paper to leave a ... More American Photography. Photo: Rijksmuseum/Olivier Middendorp.

Collage, paper, and paper clip mounted on aluminum. Photo: Gerhard Kassner. OSLO.- For over a decade, Norwegian artist Frida Orupabo has examined Black life and imagination using a language that is distinctly her own. Her practice, she’s said, has insisted on “the ambivalence and complexities that often get left out in representations of Black people,” unearthing the violence but also the resistance in the found imagery she uses. In her solo exhibition On Lies, Secrets and Silence at Astrup Fearnley Museet, the artist expands her investigation, considering our most private and intimate space—the home. Through newly produced works in the form of collage, video and sculpture, staged as spatial installations, this exhibition focuses on the varied relationships that are contained within the domestic sphere, central to our everyday lives and in the creation of our identity. Familiar environments and relationships in Orupabo’s practice may suddenly, through subtle shifts, transform from benign to strange and uncomfortable. The exhibition’s ... More Sakir Khader, Achraf al Saadi Jenin Refugee camp 2023 © Sakir Khader / Magnum Photos. AMSTERDAM.- Foam is presenting Yawm al-Firak, Arabic for Day of Separation, the first solo exhibition by the Palestinian-Dutch photographer Sakir Khader. Since 2024, he has been the first Palestinian photographer selected to join the renowned photography collective Magnum Photos. Through his firsthand experiences in Palestinian occupied territories, Khader brings the viewer directly into the heart of the occupation. His images explore the fragile boundary between life and death. In this exhibition, Khader gives a voice to seven young Palestinian men who were violently taken from life, and to their mothers who lost them. Through their stories and experiences, he reflects on farewells in times of occupation, conflict, war, and displacement. His images explore the fragile boundary between life and death. The number seven symbolizes unity in many cultures. The seven mothers and their lost sons at the centre of this exhibition represent the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians w ... More Levan Chogoshvili: Unearthing Georgia's suppressed history through art at Kunsthalle Zürich Nxt Museum opens "Still Processing": A group exhibition curated by Bogomir Doringer The National Veterans Memorial and Museum opens an exhibition of works by Syd Solomon Levan Chogoshvili, Portrait of (artist’s) parents, 1977. Seen in the artist’s studio, 2024 Courtesy der Künstler und Kunsthalle Zürich. ZURICH.- Levan Chogoshvili (b. 1953, lives and works in Tbilisi, Georgia) is among the most important Georgian artists of his generation. Since the 1970s he had created an extensive body of work in Tbilisi which incorporates painting, drawing, film and sculpture. Central to this work is the question of history: how it is essential – in general, but particularly for Georgia. For some two centuries in the case of Georgia, the telling or recording of history has been continually under pressure; history is continually expunged or corrupted, equally artists like Chogoshvili bring it back to life and render it visible. In his series Destroyed Aristocracy (1970-1985), for example, he created a new form of imagery, one which was based on the family photographs that were hidden for decades, because their existence could have been life-threatening for whoever possessed them. Chogoshvili's art, which was ... More Geoffrey Lillemon, Simulation in Blue. Photo: Maarten Nauw, AMSTERDAM.- Nxt Museum opened Still Processing, its newest group exhibition set to open on February 7, 2025. Featuring works by seven visionary artists — including Rosa Menkman, Boris Acket, Gabey Tjon a Tham, and Children of the Light — the exhibition immerses visitors in the art of “processing,” where machine algorithms intersect with human perception in groundbreaking ways. Step into a realm where AI-generated visuals, advanced image-processing technologies, and large-scale kinetic light and sound installations blur the boundaries between the visible and the unseen. Still Processing unites two interconnected approaches: one examining how technological algorithms shape and manipulate images, and another immersing visitors in sensory experiences through large-scale audiovisual and kinetic installations. These approaches challenge visitors to personally process and interpret the world around them. The exhibition ... More Syd Solomon, Stratalure, 1980. Acrylic and aerosol enamel on canvas, 72 x 74 in. © Estate of Syd Solomon. Courtesy Berry Campbell, New York. COLUMBUS, OH.- The National Veterans Memorial and Museum opened “Syd Solomon: Concealed and Revealed,” which runs February 7 through May 11, 2025. Through this exhibition, Solomon’s art explores the dualities of war — concealment and revelation, chaos and order. By integrating these concepts into his abstract works, Solomon illustrates the complexities and nuances of military service, providing a visual representation of the psychological and emotional landscapes that Veterans navigate. Syd Solomon (1917-2004) was an American artist known for his abstract paintings. A common theme in his artwork is the exploration of abstraction and the interaction between nature and human experience. His paintings reflect his deep connection to the environment, with vibrant colors and dynamic compositions that evoke a sense of movement and energy. Born in Pennsylvania, Solomon began painting in high ... More Dieter Buchhart introduces ‘Jean-Michel Basquiat. Engadin’ in St. Moritz. More News "They Began to Talk": Embodied knowledge and environmental change at Kumu Art Museum TALLINN.- They Began to Talk is an international group exhibition on view at the Kumu Art Museum. It takes the intertwinement of the body and the environment as its point of departure to observe how experiences, cultural knowledge, and skills migrate across generations, amid rapid environmental change and inequality. Through the work of contemporary artists and exhibits from the museum’s collection, the exhibition asks: How do we remember, as the current generation, when what has been passed on to us is silence? The exhibition brings together artists working in Estonia and the Baltics with those belonging to Indigenous communities in the Nordic countries, and explores the possibility of cultivating a felt sense of connection between body and land. This connection is evident in environmental trauma: sudden changes in the physical environment, often ... More Amy Pachowicz's art explores memory and loss at Oolong Gallery RANCHO SANTA FE, CA.- Oolong Gallery is presenting Gilded Age, a solo exhibition by San Diego artist Amy Pachowicz. Through a series of evocative botanical paintings and large and small-scale collages, Pachowicz explores themes of nostalgia, impermanence, desire, death and sensuality, as well as the dissonance between personal memory and the larger world’s turbulence. Pachowicz’s delicate botanical renderings depict fragments of life—branches, feathers, and leaves—suspended in rich fields of color, relics of the natural world that once pulsed with vitality but now exist as remnants of what was. The artist grapples with the tension between artistic creation and the realities of global suffering, reflecting on what it means to live and create amid conflict and loss. “I hang bundles of cut plants in my studio: flowers, sage, my neighbors ...

What makes someone leave family, friends, and a familiar way of life behind? What would it take for you to say goodbye to the people you love and embark on a journey to a place you have never seen, many miles from your home? The decision to leave can be both the most frightening and the bravest step of a lifetime. Often such moves are seen as t ...

Sebastian Lloyd Rees (b. 1986, Stavanger, Norway) is an artist based between Athens and London. With the artist Ali Eisa, he is part of an ongoing collaboration known as Lloyd Corporation. Since completing his BA at Goldsmiths in 2010, Lloyd Rees’s painting has evolved through several distinct stages; all of which interrogate the ways in which painting can articulate the subjective interactions between the artist and the ever-changing built and natural environments that he has called home. In his first major series, the Hoarding Works (2014–2018), Lloyd Rees worked with repurposed ...

Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (February 8, 1591 - December 22, 1666), better known as (il) Guercino), was an Italian Baroque painter and draftsman from Cento in the Emilia region, who was active in Rome and Bologna.
