The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Thursday, April 24, 2025 Ogunquit Museum of American Art presents Nicole Wittenberg's first solo museum exhibition Nicole Wittenberg, “Goldenrod and Queen Anne's Lace 2” (2023). Pastel on paper, 11.5" x 15.5". OGUNQUIT, ME.- The Ogunquit Museum of American Art presents the first solo museum exhibition of painter Nicole Wittenberg. Featuring recent works on canvas and a series of pastel drawings, Nicole Wittenberg: A Sailboat in the Moonlight explores the deep history of landscape painting within the region, as well as the artist’s profound connection to the natural environment of Maine. The exhibition is on view through July 20 in OMAA’s special exhibition galleries. Wittenberg’s works are expressively rich. In a textural play of color and movement, they convey her affective relationship to the natural world, as well as nature’s evanescent traits. Through sensation and perception, she renders the feeling of subtle forces: a torrent of water, the curve of a leaf, the glare of afternoon light on the bark of a tree. While Wittenberg captures the physical reality of Maine’s coastal ... More The Best Photos of the Day Exhibition view, Frida Orupabo, On Lies, Secrets and Silence. © Astrup Fearnley Museet, 2024.

More Alexander Kaletski channels Caribbean rhythms in vibrant solo show Rijksmuseum van Oudheden exhibits high-profile discoveries in 25 years of Dutch archaeology New auction record reached for Keith Haring's tribute to Andy Warhol in Heritage's $1.76 million auction Alexander Kaletski, Day & Night, 2024, oil on linen, 74 x 65 in (188 x 165.1 cm). NEW YORK, NY.- Anna Zorina Gallery announces the Alexander Kaletski solo exhibition, Reggae in Paradise. The show features Kaletski’s ongoing Caribbean series that the artist has been developing for the past twenty years. This body of work explores artist's enduring captivation with the sea, using a vibrant color palette and improvisational methods to capture its energy and unpredictability. Kaletski never anticipated that he would create a Caribbean series. However, upon developing the technique that he now calls Pebbles of Light, he realized the improvisational style perfectly portrays the fascinating characters and easygoing spirit of island life. This method starts with daubing generous beads of paint directly onto the canvas. Kaletski then applies sweeping brushstrokes that create unexpected interactions with the preexisting colors. Kaletski has an initial vision and narrative for each painting, but the final outcome is always a surprise. This technique mirrors the island lifestyle of going ... More Ship’s figurehead | off the coast of Texel, 16th-17th centuries, collection: Stichting Onderdak Nautisch Erfgoed Wieringen. LEIDEN.- Above ground features the most remarkable and high-profile discoveries in 25 years of Dutch archaeology (2000-2025), including special finds from all over the country, from Maastricht to Texel. The exhibition presents more than five hundred objects, originating from around two hundred sites. The objects were literally brought ‘above ground’ during excavations, and each stands out for its significance and value. All of the Dutch provinces are represented, including the Caribbean ABCSSS islands. The exhibition also features all kinds of excavators, from government agencies to detectorists and volunteers. Every find and object in the exhibition has its own special value. It might be a particularly beautiful object, an object that is unique in its kind, or an object that was made in a special way. Sometimes an object’s finding-place is special, too: what is a Japanese plate doing in a cesspool? Why are there lion bones at the Binnenhof in The Hague, ... More Keith Haring (1958-1990), Andy Mouse, 1986. Screenprint in colors on Lenox Museum Board, 38 x 38 in. DALLAS, TX.- An iconic work from an iconic series by Keith Haring hit a new auction record at $325,000 with the sale of the 1986 print Andy Mouse in Heritage's Prints & Multiples Signature® Auction April 22. It is the highest price realized for a print from the favorite series by Haring that depicts his friend and mentor, Andy Warhol, as an unquestionably Haring-fied man-mouse, sporting Mickey Mouse's ears, red short pants, yellow sunglasses and dollar sign emblazoned on his green torso. The work came to Heritage from the distinguished Estate of James P. Riswold of Portland, Oregon. Riswold was the creative director for American advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy, best known for its work for Nike. The auction total reached $1.76 million for its 68 lots, with an impressive 99.5% sell-through rate, and featured significant editioned works by Wayne Thiebaud, Roy Lichtenstein, Salvador Dalí, Alex Katz, Pablo Picasso and Bridget Riley among other masters of the form.

More Thomas J Price towers over SoHo with monumental tribute to the everyday Works by Franz Erhard Walther take center stage in conceptual New York exhibition MAAT presents Time Stands Still, a major exhibition on Jeff Wall's work Thomas J Price, Time Unfolding. Bronze, 274.3 x 88.7 x 95.2 cm / 108 x 34 7/8 x 37 1/2 in. Photo: Keith Lubow. © Thomas J Price Courtesy the artist and Hauser & Wirth. NEW YORK, NY.- For ‘Resilience of Scale,’ his first major solo exhibition with Hauser & Wirth in New York, British artist Thomas J Price will present five towering bronze figures and a large-scale photographic work comprising 18 separate framed images in the gallery’s SoHo location. Together, the works amplify traditionally marginalized bodies and redress structures of hierarchy, inviting questions about who we chose to celebrate in art. ‘Resilience of Scale’ presents an environment where mobility is truly felt: viewers will be able to move through the space to engage with the works directly and from all vantage points, positioning themselves within the artist’s narrative rather observing from a detached distance. Soaring to heights as great as 12 feet and installed directly on the floor, Price’s bronzes honor everyday people by granting them the grand scale and material finish long central to Western traditions of monument making, a genre ... More Franz Erhard Walther 24 Red Volumes, Body Related, 1981, 2025, graphite, watercolor, and gouache on paper. NEW YORK, NY.- Peter Freeman, Inc. presents Who cannot wait will stumble, Franz Erhard Walther’s fourth solo exhibition at the gallery and his first presentation in the United States since his participation in the Performa Biennial 2023 program at the Judd Foundation. Curated by Susanne Walther, the show borrows its title from the text published on the occasion of the artist’s 1992 exhibition Übergänge seitlich – Innenmodellierung [Lateral Transitions – Interior] at the Kunstmuseum Luzern, in which he reflects on a series of interrelated sentences about issues of materialization and potentiality. Potentiality is central to Walther’s practice. It is intrinsic to the participatory relationship he has established between artist, maker, and viewer, where action or even just the possibility of action becomes a form of work itself. Who cannot wait will stumble examines the status of various proposals, works, and architectural projects conceived by Franz Erhard Walther that have yet ...

Time Stands Still showcases key themes that has shaped Wall’s distinctive practice: images from everyday life, struggles inherent to modern and contemporary societies, such as loneliness, poverty, alienation, urban violence and ostracisation. The works on display at MAAT Gallery depict observed and imagined scenarios and compositions that draw on Wall’s interest in art historical paintings, performance and cinema. Time Stands Still mainly features large-scale photographs, some of which are backlit, a method Wall adopted in 1978, following his first visit to the Prado Museum in Madrid. Enchanted by the dramatic realism of paintings by great maste ...

NEW YORK, NY.- The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World’s spring exhibition Rethinking Etruria spotlights newly excavated material from two Italian sites—the sanctuary of Poggio Colla and the Lattanzi tombs from Norchia—and how these discoveries, alongside novel digital approaches, have revealed intriguing new insights about the Etruscan people and their still enigmatic culture. Rethinking Etruria features some 50 objects from archaeological excavations as recent as 2024, many of which have never been displayed before. Bronze votive figurines and decorated loom weights from Poggio Colla provide glimpses into the lives of the everyday figures who made these objects, and those of the elites who utilized them as ritual offerings. Etruscan funerary beliefs and cross-cultural interactions are explored through the grave goods unearthed at the Lattanzi tombs. Painted ceramics showcase the importance of Greek banqueting in Etruscan ...

His work considers the links between archaeology, historical narrative and heritage, reflecting on the processes ... More Anita Shapolsky Gallery presents "A Dialogue Between Ernest Briggs and Peter Bonner" NEW YORK, NY.- Anita Shapolsky Gallery, renowned for its dedication to Abstract Expressionism, presents “A Dialogue Between Ernest Briggs and Peter Bonner.” This exhibition brings together two generations of abstraction, juxtaposing the bold, gestural work of Ernest Briggs with the introspective, process-driven paintings of Peter Bonner. A key figure in the second generation of Abstract Expressionism, Briggs embodied the movement’s raw energy and spontaneity, using vigorous brushwork to express emotion and the rugged intensity of human nature. In contrast, Bonner explores perception, identity, and memory through layered compositions that invite contemplation beyond the surface. Ernest Briggs (1923–1984) studied in San Francisco before moving to New York, bridging both the California and New York Schools of Abstract Expressionism. A student of Clyfford Still ...
