|
Untitled Gold and Ivory Spatial Construction.
LENOX, MASS.- Sohn Fine Art is presenting Heredity, a solo exhibition of multi-dimensional work by acclaimed artist, Joseph La Piana. The exhibition is on view May 10 â July 28 (69 Church Street, Lenox, MA). Heredity explores the concept of artistic lineage and transformation through Joseph La Pianaâs signature blend of scientific inquiry and material experimentation. In this multi-media exhibition, La Piana examines how each artwork is both a continuation and evolution of its predecessors. Over the course of two decades, Joseph La Piana established a multi-disciplinary practice as a visual artist, drawing upon a diversity of materials and techniques to investigate the forces, seen and unseen, that act upon our embodied experience of the world. Incorporating methodologies and theories drawn from science (biology and physics, in particular) mathematics, and phenomenology, La Pianaâs body of work is at once both process-oriented and ultimately d ...

BERLIN.- Berlin's Kunstgewerbemuseum (Museum of Decorative Arts) opened a groundbreaking exhibition that offers a completely new way to experience fashion history. Titled "Virtual Couture 3D Fashion: digitized, animated, and interpreted," the show, a collaboration with the AMD Akademie Mode und Design and the Fachhochschule Potsdam, aims to bridge the gap between historical garments and digital innovation. The exhibition stems from the "Virtual Couture" research project, which explores how the sensory experience of fashionits textures, movement, and even soundcan be translated into the digital realm. Researchers meticulously digitized select pieces from the museum's collection, including an 18th-century chemise dress, iconic 1920s designs by Gabrielle Chanel and Jeanne Lanvin, and a 1970s Haute Couture gown by Madame Grès. These garments were precisely measured and thoroughly researched to create animated, three-dimensional ... More | |

BRUSSELS.- Almine Rech Brussels is presenting 'In my cloud (NO birds)', Jenny Brosinski's third solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from June 12 to July 26, 2025. In 'In my cloud (NO birds)', Jenny Brosinski brings together painting and sculpture to form a cosmos in which materials and colorssurrounded by empty spacereveal their pure presence. What does it look like in the artists clouds, and what does the absence of birds suggest? What happens when something is not there, and how do you deal with emptiness? Brosinski approaches these questions in her signature style: dirty minimalism. Her work is reduced yet expressive, minimal but blooming with human gesturealways with a certain rawness. The clouds, or rather the air, become fluidly perceptible. There is no overload; instead, the focus is on painting that goes straight to the core. Its about the essence of existence, which can also ... More |

BRADFORD.- Ice Age Art Now is a British Museum partnership project with Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture and Bradford District Museums & Galleries on view at Cliffe Castle Museum, Keighley in the Bradford district. The exhibition presents work by people living in Europe at the end of the last Ice Age, between 24,000 and 12,000 years ago. At this time, the slow recovery from near extinction caused by climate change stimulated an extraordinary artistic renaissance. As the climate warmed, there was a vast increase in the production of drawings, sculptures, decorated tools and weapons, jewellery and complex patterns. These artworks were not crucial to the physical survival of human groups but then, as now, art contributed to people's psychological and emotional wellbeing, helping to establish the strong social bonds essential to sustaining their ways of life. This period saw the rise of small-scale engravings of incredible delicacy on bone, antler, ivory and stone, which were created alongside the mo ... More | |

| Bortolami opens an exhibition of works by Emily Sundblad | | Sir Jony Ive appointed as new Trustee of the British Museum | | Pat Steir unveils new "Waterfall" paintings in first European solo show at Hauser & Wirth Zurich |
Emily Sundblad, Constance and Maylis, 2025, Oil and mixed media on linen, 16 Ã 12 in (41 Ã 30 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- Emily Sundblads pipe dreams throw us onto the coastline of the adolescent sublime heeding the siren call of seashells, butterflies, and courtesans. Her pretty-in-pink paintings are shrouded by the moody and tenuous dilemma of youth torn between inward depth and outward demands, recalling the angst of Munchs Adolescence, the introspection of Degas Girl by the Sea, and the hazy, effeminate dreams of preteen wallpaper. The Adolescent Ocean, Sundblads second show at Bortolami in New York, features a new body of brazenly lush paintings. A plein air panorama coated in sand captures a purpling ocean sky. Entangled branches and dripping seashells are set against citrus tones sprinkled with pixie dust. A basketball player dunks into a spiderweb beneath a vibrant Knicks logo. Crocodiles, turtles, and dragons give the sense of a childs storybook, recalling Sundblads accordion edition of The Jungle ... More | |

| Mennour opens its first exhibition devoted to the last period of the work of Gaston Chaissac | | Key work by Bas Jan Ader donated to Stedelijk Museum | | William Turner Gallery opens two concurrent solo shows by Greg Miller and Jennifer Wolf |
Installation view.
PARIS.- Mennour presents its first exhibition devoted to the last period of the work of Gaston Chaissac (1910-1964), an outsider artist positioned between modern and contemporary art, who claimed to be an artist, poet and farmer. To the category art brut in which his works have too easily been included due to their candid spontaneity, simple shapes and bright colours, Chaissac preferred the term modern rustic painting. At the end of the Second World War, this village painter definitely positioned himself against a Parisian art scene deemed too intellectual and cut from a formal freedom that only life in the unpopulated countryside allowed. It was therefore sheltered from the centre that Chaissacs work developed, at the same time on the fringes and in the recognition of his peers. For Otto Freundlich, who opened the doors to his Parisian studio in 1937 and encouraged him, with his wife Jeanne Kosnick-Kloss, to paint: ... More | |
Untitled (Flower Work) consists of three photo series, each containing seven photographs.
AMSTERDAM.- The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam announced the donation of Untitled (Flower Work) (1974) by artist Bas Jan Ader. It is the first work by this influential Dutch artist to be included in the museums collection. Ader played an important role in the development of conceptual art in the 1970s. With the addition of this key work, this movement is more strongly represented within the Stedelijks collection. The donor is Erik Ader, the artists brother. Untitled (Flower Work) consists of three photo series, each containing seven photographs. In each series, Bas Jan Ader gradually removes flowers from a vase until only flowers of a single primary color remain: red, yellow, or blue. By working with the three primary colors, he refers to the use of color by Piet Mondrian. Unlike Mondrian, who sought order in abstract lines and planes, Ader uses real flowers and applies simple actions to reveal small, subtle ... More | |

In this newest body of work, True Romance, Miller revisits the imagery that has long defined his practicepulp fiction, billboard advertisements, vintage comics, magazine spreads, and Hollywoods golden illusionsreassembling ...

More Cameron Spratley's solo exhibition at von ammon tackles Confederate symbolism in DC debutWASHINGTON, DC.- von ammon is presenting a solo show by Chicago-based artist Cameron Spratley (b. 1994, Manassas VA). A native of the DC metro area, this is Spratleys first solo exhibition in the nations capital and his first appearance at von ammon. The exhibition is concerned mostly with a suite of new paintings, the common subject of which is a gray-clad Confederate soldier, the erstwhile mascot of South Willoughby High in Charlottesville VA. Following the Unite the Right rally in 2016, the school districts superintendent ordered the mothballing of the mascot, while dubiously allowing the school to preserve the name Rebel for its sports teams. Spratleys practice draws the art of bricolage far away from the 20th century salon, imbuing the medium with the rageful disorder of the kidnapper-for-ransom or the asylum inmate. This is a collage emanating from a distinctly American ...

Speculate what taking a break on a Fritz Hansen chair during a hectic Dollar Forty-Nine Day in the Woodwards employee dining room was like.

More Sebastian Gladstone Gallery exhibits a new series of six oil paintings by Chad MurrayNEW YORK, NY.- Sebastian Gladstone Gallery is presenting, John of Patmos, a new series of six oil paintings by Chad Murray. The work deals with historical painting as a framework for uncertainty, taking the apocalyptic imagery of Revelation and considering how it has been shaped by artistic interpretation over time. This is not a religious exhibition, but a look at how familiar images persist, how they shift in meaning, and how painting itself functions as a record of those shifts. Painters have returned to these scenes for centuries. John Martin, J.M.W. Turner, and Thomas Cole built elaborate worlds from Revelations imagery, emphasizing grandeur and finality. Their paintings reflected a 19th-century sense of drama, tying biblical events to anxieties of empire and industry. Earlier depictionsmedieval manuscripts, Renaissance altarpieces, Baroque engravingshad their own purposes, ... More Thomas Cole National Historic Site opens exhibition "On Trees: Georgia O'Keeffe and Thomas Cole" CATSKILL, NY.- The Thomas Cole National Historic Site announced today that a new exhibition On Trees: Georgia OKeeffe and Thomas Cole opened on June 21, 2025. The exhibition explores how Thomas Cole (1801-1848) depicted trees in the year of his transformational first visit to Catskill, NY (1825) and how Georgia OKeeffe (1887-1986) did so in her pivotal first visit to New Mexico a century later (1929). The exhibition has been built around two, stunning, American landscape oil paintings that have never been displayed together before: Hunters in a Landscape by Thomas Cole dates to c. 1825, the year of his first visit to Catskill, a trip that changed the course of American art. It is in the permanent collection of the Thomas Cole National Historic Site; a gift of Dr. Susan Gates Austin Warner, whose late husband Jack Warner was a visionary collector of American art.

Flashback On a day like today, painter and academic Ed Paschke was born June 22, 1939. Edward Francis Paschke (June 22, 1939 - November 25, 2004) was an American painter of Polish descent. His childhood interest in animation and cartoons, as well as his father's creativity in wood carving and construction, led him toward a career in art. As a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago he was influenced by many artists featured in the museum's special exhibitions, in particular the work of Gauguin, Picasso and Seurat.
