The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Thursday, December 5, 2024 Halcyon launches a new interactive artwork by Dominic Harris at Naturalis Biodiversity Center Kate Brown, Vice President & Creative Director of Halcyon and Dominic Harris pose with Origins of Imagination. LEIDEN.- Halcyon is presenting a new interactive work by British artist Dominic Harris which launched at Naturalis Biodiversity Center in November. Origins of Imagination fuses art, technology, and nature, inviting visitors of all ages to co-create a continuously evolving digital collection of butterflies—a recurring motif within Harris’s work. With this latest work, Origins of Imagination, visitors are invited to design a butterfly and scan it into the artwork. The scanned design is ‘brought to life’ with AI, transforming into a realistic-looking butterfly, which flutters around a 6 by 2-meter-long digital environment. Each butterfly is totally individual, designed by the visitor. Inspired by the playful drawings made by Charles Darwin’s children on his original manuscript of ‘On the Origin of Spec ...

Life Lines: A new exhibition by LUAP opens at The Bottle Factory A transformative journey through feminist art in Korea Montrose to launch new saleroom with Dec. 13-14 Firearms Auction in Greensboro, Georgia LUAP is a British multidisciplinary artist born in 1982. Originally from Grimsby, LUAP is now based in London and has showcased his work on a global scale. LONDON.- Life Lines is an exhibition by multidisciplinary British artist LUAP (Paul Robinson), curated by Guerin Projects. Three years in the making, this entirely new body of work features sixteen large scale abstracted portraits alongside a series of photographic portraits, and marks a distinctive departure for the artist, who is perhaps most widely known for his signature Pink Bear photographs and mixed media pieces. Although the Pink Bear remains present in these new paintings, here he sinks into the background, a silent guardian rather than the focal subject. Curated by Guerin Projects, the exhibition will take place in The Bottle Factory – a grand 1895 warehouse in Peckham near the Old Kent Road, restored by Fabrix – and runs 6 – 21 December 2024. The artist’s process is complex, involving both incredible technical skill and an extraordinary capacity to invite ope ...

Photo: Niccolo Campita. ROME.- Memorabile, Ipermoda, curated by Maria Luisa Frisa in collaboration with the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana is on view at the MAXXI in one of its most scenographic galleries. Ten years after the Bellissima exhibition, this new display marks a further chapter in the ongoing dialogue between fashion and the museum, with a perfect blend where the exhibition project and the editorial concept come together to form an independent work of art. The exhibition, through a rich collection of garments, accessories, archival materials, and videos, tells the story of fashion as a tool for reflecting on the present. These elements act as a lens to investigate the questions fashion poses today, demonstrating its ability to respond and adapt to social, political, economic, and cultural changes. The exhibition explores themes such as fashion's relationship with time, the management of archives, the ... More Larry Bell, Memories of Mike, 1966-1967.

NEW YORK, NY.- 125 Newbury is presenting Irwin/Bell: The 1960s, an exhibition that juxtaposes two key protagonists of the Los Angeles art scene of the 1960s: Robert Irwin and Larry Bell. Comprising seminal works made during the artists’ legendary time living and working in Venice, California, the exhibition tracks Irwin’s and Bell’s radically individual yet closely related pursuits into the possibilities of extending perception. The works in Irwin/Bell trace an aesthetic shift on the part of both artists—a move away from illusionism and toward a new art of concrete reality—which laid the groundwork for each artist’s most significant contributions. Curated by Arne Glimcher, Irwin/Bell: The 1960s takes us back to a moment of LA art’s uneasy arrival in New York during the 1960s. It was during that decade that both Irwin and Bell ... More Mary Beale (1633-1699) A Young Boy Seated in a Landscape, 1680s. Oil on canvas, 50 x 40 in. (127 x 101.6 cm). LONDON.- The reputation of Britain’s women artists has been greatly reconsidered of late, partly thanks to Tate’s recent landmark exhibition, Now You See Us: Women Artists in Britain. Inspired by Tate’s exhibition, Philip Mould's display for London Art Week continues the conversation around the work of women artists. This focused display highlights a notable artist from each of the last four centuries: Mary Beale, Maria Verelst, Sarah Biffin, and Dame Laura Knight. Each artist epitomises the prevailing tastes of her era while simultaneously setting herself apart. Mary Beale’s portraiture typifies the formality of seventeenth century baroque tastes, yet her intimate paintings of her family reveal a rare intimacy for the period. Maria Verelst built a loyal circle of clients, including many influential women, by developing a ...

Touring exhibitions and independent journals continued to feed Japanese enthusiasm for European Surrealism throughout this period, and in 1939 Yamamoto co-founded the Nagoya Photo Avant-Garde. In spite of the suspicion, and ...

More Ed Templeton presents new works in exhibition at Tim Van Laere Gallery ANTWERP.- Tim Van Laere Gallery is presenting The Sprawl, the fourth solo exhibition of Ed Templeton in the gallery. In this exhibition Templeton presents a new series of paintings, alongside photographs, drawings, and sculptures. The word “sprawl” is often coupled with the word “urban” or “suburban”, as in "suburban sprawl" which refers to the spreading of houses, apartments, office buildings and shopping centers on undeveloped land surrounding a densely populated city. Essentially, it is unrestricted growth over large expanses of land, with little concern for urban planning. Ed Templeton lives in one of these suburbs, Huntington Beach, which is part of the urban sprawl surrounding the cities of Long Beach and Los Angeles. As Templeton explains: “It takes one hour of driving from LA to my house and it's non-stop cement and asphalt - ...

Questions of simultaneous experience and access to art and culture shape this project’s format and purpose. This exhibition is dedicated to the genesis of the Museum moderner Kunst and the way the institution changed at the time of Dieter Ronte at its helm (from 1979 to 1989). Against the backdrop of the multilayered pluralism of the 1980s, it attempts to provide an interpretive overview of the historical and cultural-political parameters of the time, while considering the programmatic decisions ...

Curated by Blanca de la Torre and Kati Kivinen, Shelter takes inspiration from Vallisaari’s protected ecosystem, preserved from human habitation for decades. Against this biodiverse backdrop and amid the global climate crisis, the biennial invites us to rethink shelter not as a physical barrier against the elements, but as a nurturing space—psychological, social, or ecological—where all forms of life can find protection and thrive. Shifting away from a human-centric ... More Copenhagen Contemporary presents its 2025 exhibition program COPENHAGEN.- Opening the spring season, CC presents the first Scandinavian solo exhibition by British artist Emma Talbot (f. 1969).

More Carson City Mint Double Eagle takes flight in Heritage's US Coins Auction DALLAS, TX.- An exceedingly rare double eagle from the Carson City Mint will take flight into a new collection when it is sold in Heritage's December 12-15 US Coins Signature® Auction. The discovery of gold and silver ore in the Comestock Lode led to the establishment of the Carson City Mint, which opened in 1870 and struck its last coins 23 years later. But the Nevada branch mint was the subject of much government controversy, particularly because of the competing influences regarding silver mining interests. The Mint's coin production was suspended from 1886-88, after efforts to close down the Comstock's personal branch mint came as early as the facility's first few days in operation. Congressman Thomas Fitch, the Representative for Nevada's at-large district, made what was called a "strong and effective speech" against the Mint's closing, ... More PhotoGalleries Gabriele Münter TARWUK Awol Erizku Leo Villareal Flashback On a day like today, French impressionist painter Claude Monet died December 05, 1926. Claude Monet (14 November 1840 - 5 December 1926) was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting. The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant). In this image: A visitor looks on a painting by French artist Claude Monet (1840-1926) entitled Nympheas during a press preview in Hong Kong, China, 27 May 2011.
