Elizabeth and Infant John the Baptist, about 1660–1665, oil on wood, 29 ¾ x 40 ¾ inches, for the Dayton Art Institute. After reviewing research provided by Wilner, the DAI’s curatorial team selected a replica of a period frame on another Bourdon painting that had been documented during an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In the show in Hamburg, sculptures by these three artists have been juxtaposed for the first time and presented in an expansive way. The Bucerius Kunst Forum is showing three female positions in Surrealist sculpture, thus making a contribution to the reinterpretation of art history, which is supposedly dominated purely by male artists. The show refers to the exhibitions Lee Miller and Ingenious Women from 2023, which also presented forgotten but important female protagonists of art. Positions that were invisible for a long time. The three female artists exhibited in In Her Hands were part of the international art scene from ...

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.- The Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts is presenting new work by Janiva Ellis (b.1987) in the exhibition Fear Corroded Ape, on view January 31 to April 6, 2025. Ellis reconfigures a broad array of imagery from art historical portraiture and landscape conventions, animation, and popular culture into dissonant scenes. By turns explicit and obscuring, her paintings narrativize white existentialist mythology alongside social degradations and the brutal, nuanced structural forces that enable their denial. Dexterously employing a broad range of techniques and motifs, Ellis operates beyond the mere exposure of these forces to further manipulate their sentimental resonances, revealing the desires inherent to cultural canonization. In preparing for her exhibition at the Carpenter Center, Ellis reengaged with paintings that had remained unfinishable in her studio for years, floating in and out of her consciousness. Representing a unique kind of “new” commission, ...

FRANKFURT.- The Palace of Typographic Masonry provides a multi-layered insight into the creative discipline of graphic design: From the fundamentals of the trade and their interplay in compositions and designs to tools, techniques, and conceptual approaches to the professional practice in the shifting sphere of space, time, clients and audiences. This travelling exhibition by the Dutch graphic designer Richard Niessen showcases graphic design as a poetic and visual force with the ability to shape culture and channel political messages to convey social values and ideals.
