The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Thursday, September 12, 2024 French ship that sank in 1856 disaster is found off Massachusetts coast A photo provided by Andrew Donn shows a portion of Le Lyonnais’s steam engine cylinder on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, about 140 miles east of Nantucket, Mass., on Aug. 24, 2024. After more than a century underwater, Le Lyonnais’s steam engine cylinder was rusted and covered in barnacles. Its unique width helped divers confirm they had found Le Lyonnais. (Andrew Donn via The New York Times) NEW YORK, NY.- A French passenger steamship that sank in 1856, killing over 100 people, was found last month at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, said D/V Tenacious, a New Jersey-based shipwreck hunting group. The ship, Le Lyonnais, which was built in England in 1855, was traveling from the United States to France when it collided with the Adriatic, an American sailing ship, killing 114 of Le Lyonnais’ 132 total passengers, D/V Tenacious said Sept. 4. The Adriatic never stopped. For over a century and a half, the location of the ship’s final ... More The Best Photos of the Day Andréhn-Schiptjenko is presenting How do we hold our stories?

Juilliard receives $20 million to unite disciplines and support jazz Prison where Capote interviewed killers for 'In Cold Blood' will open to tourists Gabriela Ortiz at home in Coyoacán, Mexico City, July 28, 2024. (Jackie Russo/The New York Times) NEW YORK, NY.- In a bustling public square in Mexico City on a summer day, as hummingbirds feasted on honeysuckle and candle sellers hawked remedies for broken hearts and anxious minds, the composer Gabriela Ortiz stood in the shadow of the San Juan Bautista church and closed her eyes. Around her in Plaza Hidalgo in the Coyoacán neighborhood, there was cacophony. In one corner, a man in a beret cranked out a fun-house tune on a barrel organ. In another, two young men performed a song ... More Outside the Juilliard School in New York, Sept. 5, 2024. (Jeenah Moon/The New York Times) NEW YORK, NY.- The Juilliard School is home to some of the best young musicians, dancers and actors in the world. But they rarely come together to create and perform across disciplines. Now the renowned conservatory hopes to change that: Juilliard announced Wednesday that it had received a $15 million gift to help expand creative work across music, dance and drama. An additional $5 million gift will go to the school’s jazz program to support scholarships, performances and teaching. The gifts are from investor John ... More Truman Capote at Random House offices in New York, April 10, 1969. (Wiilliam E. Sauro/The New York Times) NEW YORK, NY.- Truman Capote once described the Kansas State Penitentiary in Lansing as a “turreted black-and-white palace” with “a dark two-storied building shaped like a coffin,” where prisoners were held on death row, awaiting execution. Now, tourists will be able to get a glimpse for themselves of the fortresslike sandstone prison, where Capote interviewed Dick Hickock and Perry Smith, two drifters who were convicted of murdering four members of the Clutter family on their farm in Holcomb, Kansas, on Nov. ...

More Amy Sherald, brazen optimist First US retrospective of Art Deco icon Tamara de Lempicka premieres in San Francisco Solo exhibition of new works by Albert Oehlen opens at Galerie Max Hetzler Artist Amy Sherald at her studio in New Jersey, July 25, 2024. (Dana Scruggs/The New York Times) JERSEY CITY, NJ.- A painter of luminous figurative compositions, Amy Sherald thinks like a filmmaker. When I visited her Jersey City, New Jersey, studio this summer, she put it plainly: “I’m directing in the paintings.” Sherald became famous after her portrait of former first lady Michelle Obama was unveiled in 2018. Attention grew with Sherald’s portrait of Breonna Taylor, the Black medical worker who was killed in 2020 by police in Louisville, ... More Tamara de Lempicka, “Brilliance (Bacchante),” ca. 1932. Oil on panel, 14 1/4 x 10 5/8 in. Rowland Weinstein, courtesy of Weinstein Gallery, San Francisco © 2024 Tamara de Lempicka Estate, LLC / ADAGP, Paris / ARS, NY. SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Through her liberal and glamorous lifestyle, artist Tamara de Lempicka (1894-1980) has become synonymous with the carefree spirit and opulence of the 1920s. Her paintings, combining a classical figural style with the modern energy of the international avant-garde, have cemented Lempicka ... More Albert Oehlen, Untitled, 2023–2024.

More Archaeologists keep re-excavating this 4000-year-old brick More News Art shows and exhibitions to see this fall NEW YORK, NY.- Dance is in vogue this fall, with a pair of major museum shows for choreographers Alvin Ailey and Ralph Lemon. Prints are having a moment, too, as Mexican and Japanese examples show up in New York and Washington, D.C. Otherwise, the onrushing season is the usual wild mix of Renaissance painting, innovative video art, subway car graffiti, documentary photography and quietly subversive corporate lobby art, from New York City to Columbus, Ohio, and on to California. (Dates are subject to change; locations are in Manhattan unless otherwise specified.) For this largest-ever show of Scott Burton’s work at an American museum, contemporary artists Brendan Fernandes and Gordon Hall have been commissioned to write performance scores and an experimental lecture in response to the furniture- ... More Exhibition features street photography by Michael Silberman NEW YORK, NY.- Michael Silberman: A Retrospective, an exhibition featuring 71 photographs of New York City from the 1950s through the 1970s, open to the public on September 19, 2024 and runs through October 7, 2024 at The Cooper Union Library. Silberman’s street photographs, which are reminiscent of Vivian Maier and Garry Winogrand, capture a vibrant city, its people, and its unique neighborhoods, including “San Juan Hill” which was later to become Lincoln Center. There will also be a collection of images of 1950’s Cooper Union taken while he was a student at the school. In addition to Silberman’s photographs, the exhibition includes a selection of 14 of Silberman’s delightful paintings and three mosaics from the same period. Born in Antwerp, Belgium in 1935, Silberman and his family fled through occupied France when ... More Art gallery to explore Indigenous culture throughout fall in new exhibit GALLOWAY, NJ.- Stockton University plans to bolster and celebrate Indigenous cultures through a new art exhibition titled “Indigenous Approaches, Sustainable Futures” that will highlight the work of more than 25 local and international Indigenous artists and host various interactive workshops open to the community starting Tuesday, Sept. 17. The exhibit will be displayed in the university’s Art Gallery. The first workshop features artists Jeremy Dennis of the Shinnecock Indian Nation and Denise “Bright Dove” Ashton-Dunkley and Tyrese “Bright Flower” Gould Jacinto of the Nanticoke/Lenni Lenape Tribal Nation, who will conduct an intimate exhibition tour of the two-floor Stockton Art Gallery’s current exhibition, “Indigenous Approaches, Sustainable Futures,” which is now open for viewing until Nov. 12. In addition, Gould Jacinto will introduce ... More The lost museum in the Mauritshuis THE HAGUE.- From 12 September 2024 to 5 January 2025 the Mauritshuis will host The lost museum, an exhibition featuring more than 120 objects from the Royal Cabinet of Rarities, which was housed on the ground floor of the Mauritshuis between 1822 and 1875. It was a museum with thousands of objects from around the world. The rooms were stuffed full of exhibits. Visitors to the exhibition will discover all kinds of items that were once displayed there, including jewellery, dolls, vases, scent bottles, suits of armour, weapons, a pagoda and even plaits of hair. ‘The lost museum’ will also take a critical look at the rich but often complex history of the collection, and its influence on the present. How and why did people collect objects? What stories were told about them, and were they true? What did the Royal Cabinet of Rarities look ... More Museum Ludwig announces 'Schultze Projects #4-Kresiah Mukwazhi' COLOGNE.- Every two to three years, an artist is invited to create a new work for the Museum Ludwig’s largest wall, located in front of the main staircase. Schultze Projects pays homage to artist couple Bernard Schultze and Ursula (Schultze-Bluhm), whose artistic estates are managed by the Museum Ludwig and commemorated with this series, which was initiated in 2017. For the fourth edition of Schultze Projects, artist Kresiah Mukwazhi (b. 1992 in Harare, Zimbabwe) has created a new mural. Mukwazhi often sources pieces of used clothing or cloth that she sews together and paints to create works that address male violence against women in her home country. She views art as a form of protest and self-empowerment, as well as a starting point for encouraging and supporting women. Mukwazhi understands her artistic practice ... More Yesterday's Broadway warhorses, saddled with today's concerns NEW YORK, NY.- Two cheers for new voices! Of the 16 productions scheduled to open on Broadway between now and the end of the year, 12 are new to the Boulevard of Broken Budgets. But I’d like to reserve a third cheer for the fall’s four revivals, which may get less attention, having been this way before, but are likely to earn their keep if history holds true. Old voices are, after all, where new voices come from. And though 240 years separate the Broadway debuts of “Romeo and Juliet” and “Sunset Boulevard,” with “Our Town” and “Gypsy” in between, they all have much in common, at least in their continued haunting of theatergoers’ imaginations. That haunting arises, in part, from our memories of past stars who hover alongside the new ones. In “Our Town,” Henry Fonda and Paul Newman will be whispering the Stage Manager’s ... More Seeing the fashion world through the eyes of an 8-year-old NEW YORK, NY.- “Look at you in linen,” designer Isaac Mizrahi said to a young fan he was meeting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, on a Thursday in August, to see the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibition. “And I’m dressed like Uncle Fester,” continued Mizrahi, who was wearing dark clothes. Mizrahi, 62, showed his first collection about 30 years before Max Alexander, the 8-year-old who met him at the museum, was born. Mizrahi, a fashion world fixture who has sold clothes to the masses on QVC, has some 196,000 followers on Instagram. Max, an aspiring fashion designer who just started third grade, has 3 million. Like many children his age, Max is playful and excitable. “Hi, Max,” he said, looking at his reflection in a glass panel. While walking past mannequins dressed in elaborate ensembles, he observed aloud ... More Why do Americans want to dress like Swedes? NEW YORK, NY.- Toteme, the fashion label, is not a word. But it comes from one. “I had the idea of ‘Totem,’” said Karl Lindman, who co-founded the company 10 years ago with his wife, Elin Kling. They married the same year. “One of the meanings of the word ‘totem’ — and there are a lot — is a symbol for the like-minded,” Lindman, 42, said. But Kling, 41, thought the name sounded too “masculine.” She was making clothes for women. So she suggested adding an “e,” elongating and softening the pronunciation. The addition also gave symmetry to a square-shaped monogram that Lindman, then the design director of Interview magazine, had been developing. “It’s our take on the word,” he said. As I sat across from the couple at a long wooden table in the backyard of their Hamptons, New York, home, I wondered if there was a Swedish word ... More Are art and science forever divided? Or are they one and the same? NEW YORK, NY.- One spring morning, one wet English morning, John Keats looked up at a rainbow and felt nothing. The colors that streaked across the sky in Hampstead should have awed him, as they awed people of centuries past — when Noah saw the rainbow as proof of the Lord’s covenant, or when Norsemen believed the rainbow linked this realm to the world of the gods. But by the early 19th century, all Keats could see in the rainbow were optical, verifiable facts. His countryman Isaac Newton had proved that the colors were just sunlight refracted on water droplets, each wavelength bent at a different angle. This was the scientific disenchantment that the young Romantic described in his 1819 poem “Lamia”: There was an awful rainbow once in heaven: We know her woof, her texture; she is given In the dull catalogue of common ... More Xavier Hufkens opens an exhibition dedicated to Jan Vercruysse BRUSSELS.- In 2009, a survey exhibition of Jan Vercruysse at Museum M Leuven brought renewed attention on an artist who had not only dominated the Belgian art scene but had also been at the centre of the reinvention of sculpture in the 1980s and 1990s. Despite being sidelined by the return of figurative painting and hindered by his own exacting temperament, Vercruysse’s work — ranging from poetry and photography to intricate sculptural forms — retains the same enigmatic allure it did three decades ago. From his early Atopies and Tombeaux to his later works like the coded marble poems (Places), legless silent pianos (M/M), and garden projects (Labyrinth and Pleasure Gardens), Vercruysse’s art continues to be as strange, opaque, and captivating as ever. Two years later, when Barbara Gladstone invited me to curate an exhibition for her ... More PhotoGalleries Gabriele Münter TARWUK Awol Erizku Leo Villareal Flashback On a day like today, German painter Anselm Feuerbach was born September 12, 1829. Anselm Feuerbach (12 September 1829 - 4 January 1880) was a German painter. He was the leading classicist painter of the German 19th-century school. His works are housed at leading public galleries in Germany. Stuttgart has the second version of Iphigenia; Karlsruhe, the Dante at Ravenna; Munich, the Medea; and Berlin, The Concert, his last important painting.
