The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Tuesday, June 24, 2025 Nigel Parry returns to Corrigan Gallery with new landscapes CHARLESTON SC.- Corrigan Gallery announced the return of Nigel Parry with new landscape photographs. The show will be up from June 4 - 30. Nigel Parry, the infamous famous photographer to the stars, returns to Corrigan Gallery with new landscapes. These minimal, colorful renditions on film of our surroundings remind us of the ethereal nature of our semitropical environment. The romanticism of the south and our enchantment with it is synthesized in these spectacular images both large and small. Parry is British born with years of living in New York and married to a Charlestonian. Besides showing at the gallery and a major solo show at City Gallery Waterfront Park, he travels widely and continues to do portraiture shoots. He is known around the world for his portrait work covering the entertainment industries as well as political figures for major magazines. Exhibiting since 2005 works by local artists of caliber in a contemporary mindset, ... More The Best Photos of the Day Unearthed at the British Library © British Library Board.

ZURICH.- For the first time, works by Mark Rothko (1903 – 1970) and Robert Ryman (1930 - 2019) meet directly in a two-person exhibition, opening up new perspectives on the artistic interaction between two American greats of 20th-century painting. On view at Hauser & Wirth’s gallery on Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich, this exhibition brings together important works by Rothko from the 1950s and 1960s and by Ryman from the late 1950s to the 1990s. Rothko and Ryman represent two generations of American abstract painters that briefly coincided around 1960; Rothko was then at the height of his fame, Ryman an aspiring painter. Beyond this brief overlap in time, they are deeply connected by the great visual quality of their paintings, a concise selection of which can be seen in the exhibition. Both Mark Rothko and Robert Ryman are considered mavericks of post-war American painting. Through their work, they embody an idea of artistic ... More Roby Dwi Antono, Sari, 2025.

PARIS.- Almine Rech Paris, Front Space is presenting Roby Dwi Antono's fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from June 14 to July 26, 2025. The arresting image of ‘A Ritualistic Purification of The Water Nymph’ provokes numerous questions. Who is lying down in what seems like a fish shroud? Is she going to survive? More questions emerge as we continue to consume the rest of the image and attempt to understand other elements that seem to defy logical thinking. A self-taught painter based in Yogyakarta, Roby has never been one to over-articulate his motivations or inspiration. Even in interviews with the media, one gets the sense that Roby prefers to let his paintings do the talking: “I would often say that my works contain a set of idioms which have very personal meanings to me. However, at the same time, I also challenge myself to be able to create works that can make people’s emotions arise. I leave some visual cues in my works which act as a melancholic conundr ... More Jeff Koons, Split-Rocker, 2000, edition of 1 plus 1 AP, © Jeff Koons, Versailles installation photo by Laurent Lecat. LOS ANGELES, CA.- The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) today announced the acquisition of Jeff Koons’s Split-Rocker (2000), a monumental sculpture adorned with living plants and flowers. In the lead up to the 2026 opening of the David Geffen Galleries, LACMA’s new home for the permanent collection, the museum is planning a robust program of outdoor public art throughout the 3.5 acre park and open space created by the elevated design of the new building. Anchoring the ground-level public spaces south of Wilshire Boulevard will be Koons’s Split-Rocker, which will be installed and open to the public in late 2025. The acquisition, installation, and future maintenance of Split-Rocker is made possible by a generous gift from LACMA life trustee Lynda Resnick and her husband, Stewart, through their foundation. “Jeff is a master of bringing bold playfulness together with layers of deeper artistic meaning,” said Michael Govan, LACMA CEO ... More Unearthed: The Power of Gardening opens at the British Library Artist Jeffrey Gibson to create four new sculptures for The Met's Fifth Avenue facade Jeremy Shaw unveils sculptural exploration of transcendental states in "Towards Logarithmic Delay" Basilius Besler, Hortus Eystettensis. Altdorf, 1613. Courtesy British Library (10.Tab.28). LONDON.- Unearthed: The Power of Gardening (2 May – 10 August 2025) is a major new exhibition exploring the transformative, enriching and sometimes radical power of gardening in Britain and the impact it has on people, communities and the environment. From botanical gardens and allotments to windowsills and green community spaces, Unearthed reveals how the act of gardening can promote healing and wellbeing, forge closer communities, refresh neglected spaces and drive social change. The exhibition delves into the evolution of gardening practices, the movement of plants through the British Empire and looks ahead to how gardening might alleviate the impact of climate change on the natural world. Unearthed also considers the role gardening has played in social and political movements, from the Diggers and True Levellers protesting the Enclosure Acts during the English Civil War, to the Garden City movement of the early 20th century, ... More Jeffrey Gibson. Photo by Brian Barlow. NEW YORK, NY.- This fall, The Metropolitan Museum of Art will unveil a new suite of sculptures by acclaimed interdisciplinary artist Jeffrey Gibson (born 1972, Colorado Springs, Colorado) in the niches of its Fifth Avenue facade. A member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and of Cherokee descent, Gibson will create four figurative sculptures that reflect on the interconnected relationships between all living beings and the environment. Commissioned by the Museum, The Genesis Facade Commission: Jeffrey Gibson, The Animal That Therefore I Am will be on view from September 12, 2025, through June 9, 2026. "Jeffrey Gibson is one of the most remarkable artists of his generation and a pioneering figure within the field of native and Indigenous art," said Max Hollein, The Met’s Marina Kellen French Director and Chief Executive Officer. "These new works are based on his signature use of unconventional materials and reimagined forms to explore often overlooked histories and the natural world. We ... More Jeremy Shaw, Towards Logarithmic Delay, installation view, Secession 2025. Photo: Peter Mochi. VIENNA.- Jeremy Shaw’s work constitutes an ongoing exploration of altered states of mind and the cultural and scientific practices that aspire to map transcendental experience. Often positioned at the intersection of metaphysics and spirituality, his works are captivated by phenomena that defy rational explanation – from the personal drive of mystical experiences to the promise of technological singularity — and the belief systems that evolve in their pursuit. Shaw’s films, installations, and sculptures construct worlds that combine the asserted rationality and objectivity of scientific research with fiction, speculation, and disparate cultural and aesthetic references, creating what he refers to as “assisted vérité”. Mining the frameworks of philosophy, anthropology, and sociology, his multivalent practice draws upon the languages of alternative cultures, documentary image-making, conceptual art, and music video to create alchemical works that exist somewhat out o ... More Amgueddfa Cymru announces major new Gwen John exhibition Portikus presents What Are You Thinking DESTE Foundation transforms former slaughterhouse for Andra Ursuţa's solo debut in Greece Flowers in a Jug by Gwen John. By Permission of Amgueddfa Cymru - Museum Wales 212493. CARDIFF.- Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales has announced the first major retrospective in over forty years dedicated to one of Wales’ most accomplished artists, Gwen John.

The exhibition will showcase work from ... More Laurie Parsons, Troubled, 1989. Collection Consortium Museum, Dijon. Courtesy of MAMCO Genève. Photography by Annik Wetter. FRANKFURT.- “What are you thinking?” It’s a question that seems simple—casual, even—one we’ve all heard and likely asked. It catches us mid-thought, before intention has formed and language has settled. And while it gestures toward openness, it carries an implicit assumption: that every thought should be made legible, shareable, and above all, purposeful. This demand reflects a broader condition of our time: a growing imperative for self-disclosure. The exhibition What Are You Thinking draws on Susan Sontag’s seminal essay Against Interpretation (1964), which challenges the compulsion to impose meaning on artworks—to turn materials into metaphors and gestures into arguments. Sontag argued that the act of interpretation, when overemphasized, strips art of its immediacy and sensual impact, urging us instead to recover our senses—to encounter artworks as they are: dense and ambiguous. Spanning the two galleries of Portikus, the show brings together works b ... More Andra Ursuţa, Half-Drunk Mummy, 2024 (detail) © Andra Ursuţa; photo: Dario Lasagni; courtesy of the artist and Ramiken, New York. ATHENS.- The DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art is presenting Apocalypse Now and Then, a solo exhibition by Romanian artist Andra Ursuţa. The show will be on view at the Foundation’s Project Space, a former slaughterhouse on the island of Hydra between June 24th and October 31st, 2025. This marks Ursuţa’s first major exhibition in Greece. Ursuţa draws from the visual language and display strategies of archeological museums to invent faux-historicist artefacts belonging to a defunct civilization whose relics seem to speak to the anxieties of our present. Both familiar and absurd, the artist displays fragments of sculptures and studio detritus that have been successively built up and destroyed with analog and digital tools. These works explore the history of object-making and sculpture and the ways in which this manually-derived system of knowledge and speculation has come to shape our visual world. Apocalypse Now and Then plunges viewers into a truncated ...

Courtesy of the artist, Modern Art, London and Luhring Augustine, New York. Photo: Marcus Leith. DUBLIN.- The Douglas Hyde is presenting To Whom It May Concern, the first solo exhibition in Ireland by artist Mohammed Sami, bringing together a group of major new canvases, alongside a selection of paintings made over the last five years. Mohammed Sami is a painter. Working directly onto canvas with brushes, pallet knives and spray paint, Sami creates textures, surfaces and details building the composition as a whole. Mining personal experiences to ground his work and influenced by Arabic literature and poetry, Sami replaces images of trauma with oblique references to loss or conflict. Although absent of the human form, the settings, everyday objects, and shadows in his paintings convey traces of human presence. He uses medium, scale, and title, each cultivating the other to create charged and haunting works. Absence is at the heart of this work, from an empty throne to a meeting table with chairs pulled out in expectation or in the aftermath of an event. Indeed, ... More Josephine Shuk-Fong Cheung, Untitled, 1981. Acrylic on canvas, 167.5 x 127 cm (66 x 50 in). NEW YORK, NY.- Alisan Fine Arts presents Josephine Shuk-Fong Cheung: A Commemorative Exhibition, dedicated to the late Hong Kong-born artist whose compelling body of work has remained largely unseen by the public for nearly four decades. Despite her brief yet prolific career from 1981 to 1989, Cheung’s artistic practice demonstrates a constant evolution—marked by her fearless experimentation with form, colour, and composition. Her paintings deftly navigate the liminal space between abstraction and figuration, ultimately achieving a deeply personal and embodied visual language. As Professor J. J. Lee, Chair of Drawing and Painting at OCAD University in Toronto, noted: “Her use of colour became more layered and complex, figure-ground boundaries blurred, and her paintings took on an embodied presence.” Born in Hong Kong in 1954, Josephine Cheung spent her early years in Sheung Shui, a rural town near the Chinese border. She was raised in a lively community. Her father ... More Post-Tango by artist Mikhailo Levchenko. Image courtesy: West Harlem Art Fund. NEW YORK, NY.- Post-Tango by artist Mikhailo Levchenko, is a sculpture about the aftermath of human devastation. The state where one has to face unpleasant circumstances, where emotions may have passed, but the body still remembers the physical pain. It is about the search for form after destruction — about a dance turned into an architecture of survival. According to the artist, “Post-Tango represents the tension between rhythm and still-ness, passion and formalism at its core. It is born from the intersection of dance and trauma, reflecting the experience of displaced and migrant individuals: where move-ment is impossible, yet memories still move within the bones. It is not a body — it is its echo, its trace. The sculpture breathes space, inviting viewers to feel its inner move-ment, rather than just see it.” The sculpture was first designed as a 3D model, then digitally sliced into layers using CAD software. These layers were converted into vector files for fabrication. Each sl ... More Activation—The Roof Garden Commission: Jennie C. Jones, Ensemble More News Echoes Unveiled: Art by First Nations Women from Australia opens at Artizon Museum TOKYO.- Art by First Nations artists from Australia is being given more importance and exposure than before as part of the recent international trend in contemporary art to reconsider works created in deeply rooted regional contexts. At the 60th Venice Biennale, in 2024, the Australian Pavilion presented a solo exhibition by an Aboriginal artist and was awarded the Golden Lion for Best National Participation, an achievement that indicates the height of global evaluation and interest. Moreover, within the Australian contemporary art world, many women artists with First Nations backgrounds are becoming renowned and have established international acclaim. In 2006, Artizon Museum held Prism: Contemporary Australian Art and have been continuing to collect in that field ever since. Echoes Unveiled: Art by First Nations Women from Australia is the first group exhibition in Japan to focus on First ... More Renowned Manchester artist brings bold, political live art to Deansgate during the Manchester International Festival MANCHESTER.- Acclaimed Manchester artist Michael Browne is bringing his distinctive blend of politics, history, religion, and street-level engagement to one of the city’s busiest locations this summer, with a new live window painting taking shape directly opposite the Beetham Tower and Hilton Hotel on Deansgate. The site, which already houses Michael’s much-talked-about portrait of Donald Trump, is being transformed once again as Michael prepares to paint live in the window in the run-up to and during the Manchester International Festival (MIF). His new, as yet untitled, piece ~ painted in real time for the public to observe ~ will sit alongside the Trump portrait and Michael's Sovereign Servant painting in the Great Northern Warehouse, Deansgate. ...

More Skoto Gallery unveils diverse group show exploring identity and heritage NEW YORK, NY.- Skoto Gallery is presenting Group Show, an exhibition that brings together works by a diverse group of established and emerging artists working in a variety of media including painting, drawing, photography and sculpture. With a mix of abstraction and sensitive realism that combines technical accomplishment with strong aesthetic appeal, the artists in this exhibition work across different time-periods and styles. Each of the artists re-imagines history, inheritance and vast possibilities in their work through the lens of individual and collective experiences, offering fresh perspectives that reflect the complexities and realities of contemporary identity. Each artist utilizes a particular rigor and economy which encourages a clarity of intent and simplicity of execution. Afi Nayo’s (b. 1969, Lome, Togo) work is intensely personal and displays a blend of fragility, modesty ... More Stefanie Victor's new sculptures explore movement and time in gallery space PORTLAND, ORE.- For her third solo exhibition with the gallery, Stefanie Victor responds to the geometry of the room with new sculptures that propose movement in space and time. The exhibition opened on Friday, June 20 and is on view through August 2, 2025. Integrating sculpture, painting, and installation in a form of silent performance, Victor's work investigates the potential for sculpture to reconstitute ephemeral daily experiences. Made slowly and deliberately by hand from raw materials, her objects are charged by the gestures that shaped them. Emulating the logic of functional objects, her intimate sculptures can also be read as abstract drawings of movement, air, light, and shadow. They suggest the intervals, stretches, repetitions, and pauses accrued in making and remaking them, choreographing an expansive moment in time. Untitled (Sails) are floor-based ... More artcontemporain.lu presents Animals of the Mind LUXEMBOURG.- Animals of the Mind is a contemporary art trail conceived as part of Luxembourg Urban Garden (LUGA), a city-wide open-air exhibition of urban gardens, landscape projects, and art installations in Luxembourg. Inspired by the LUGA theme, “Making the invisible visible,” it takes the form of twelve site-specific sculptures, installations, video works, performances, and interventions revolving around our complex relationships with animals. In an age of ecological collapse, how can we not see the proliferation of animal motifs in everyday life as a reflection of our growing alienation from nature? For Animals of the Mind, the invited artists explore this paradox, questioning how animals persist in our collective psyche even as real-world biodiversity faces existential threats. In a clearing, Ulrich Vogl’s sealed hunting lodge plays animal-themed piano pieces to an elusive ...
