Photo © Museo Nacional del Prado. MADRID.- The exhibition Paolo Veronese (1528-1588) represents the culmination of a lengthy process of research and reassessment of the Museo del Prado's Venetian painting collection, one of the most important in the world and a cornerstone of the former Spanish royal collection. Following the successful exhibitions dedicated to The Bassanos in Golden Age Spain (2001), Titian (2003), Tintoretto (2007), and Lorenzo Lotto. Portraits (2018), this latest exhibition completes an exceptional survey of Venetian painting of the Renaissance. The exhibition is structured into six, alternating chronological and thematic sections. The first, From Verona to Venice, focuses on the artist’s training in his native Verona, a city with a rich Roman past in which the local artistic tradition coexisted with contributions from Venetian artists (particularly Titian) and Central Italian ones such as Raphael and Parmigianino. From these starting points Veronese soon developed his own style, characterised by formal and ...

Oil on canvas on panel (plywood), 45.6 x 40.3 cm. Kröller-Müller Museum / © Charley Toorop. OTTERLO.- Charley Toorop (1891–1955) is one year old when the first exhibitions of the work of Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) take place in the Netherlands. Her father, the artist Jan Toorop, is one of the initiators. In 1953, when the director of the Kröller-Müller, Bram Hammacher, asks her what the artist meant to her, she replies: ‘Vincent van Gogh was there for me even before I started painting, actually when I became aware’. His art made a lasting impression on her throughout her life because of ‘his deep, harsh love’ for reality, people and nature. Toorop was meant to become a musician but in 1917 decides to devote her life to painting. She finds inspiration in innovative art movements, including expressionism and cubism. She also experiences influences of a spiritual nature, such as theosophy. She admires a variety of artists and certainly not only Van Gogh. Nevertheless, it is his example that is defining. Especially in the early 1920s, the most formative peri ... More Mark Rothko, Lilac and Orange over Ivory, 1953. Oil on canvas. Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth: Gift of William S.

More Higher Pictures unveils Susan Meiselas' early works from "44 Irving Street 1970 - 1971" Christie's to offer the collection of Hilde and Dieter Scharf Krist Gruijthuijsen appointed Museum Director of EMMA-Espoo Museum of Modern Art Susan Meiselas. 44 Irving St. 1970 - 1971, 10 x 8 inches, gelatin silver print. BROOKLYN, NY.- Higher Pictures presents Susan Meiselas’ earliest series of photographs, 44 Irving Street 1970 – 1971, following its exhibition at Harvard Art Museums. This is the artist’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. In 1970, while still a student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Susan Meiselas was living in a boarding house at 44 Irving Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Boarding houses, like the one at 44 Irving Street, often began as large, single-family homes in cities or college towns. As average family sizes decreased and the socioeconomic makeup of neighborhoods changed, these homes were then divided up into smaller units while maintaining a shared kitchen, bathrooms, and common areas. As a result, each of the rooms at 44 Irving Street retained some of the home’s original single-family character. At Harvard, Meiselas enrolled in a photography course and chose to photograph her neighbors for a class project. Though she didn’t know any of ... More Fang Reliquary Figure. Gabon.

Photo: Dominik Asche. HUMLEBÆK.- Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark presents the first retrospective museum exhibition of the American artist Kaari Upson (1970-2021). Despite her all-too brief career, Upson can be regarded as a future classic, whose work continues to resonate in contemporary art. She left behind a rich, highly personal body of work investigating identity, the body, illness and loss. From 2005 until her untimely passing in 2021, Kaari Upson pursued her practice with tremendous intensity. The exhibition, in the Louisiana’s South Wing, is the first retrospective of the artist’s work. Showcasing the multifaceted strength of her work, the exhibition fulfils the museum's ambition to introduce Upson as an unsung classic. Before her death, Upson had established herself as one of the most distinctive and versatile American artists of her time, working across sculpture, drawing, performance, film and painting. Her stand-out blend of painting and sculpture ... More Peter Fillingham, Fruit Salad, 2025. 3 parts; vintage jacket, overcoat, trousers, wood, dyed cotton, steel. 15 3/4 x 23 5/8 x 70 7/8 in. (40 x 60 x 180 cm) (each). PARIS.- Marian Goodman Gallery is presenting for the first time a solo show by Peter Fillingham featuring a new group of sculptural works that resonate with memory and history. Working primarily with found materials—objects often dismissed for their low cultural or economic value—Fillingham transforms the overlooked into sculptural forms and installations that carry a sense of theatricality. Rooted in the margins, both geographic and material, his practice exists where art coexists with everyday life. He draws inspiration from the structures and systems that operate behind the scenes in zones of transit, trade, and daily exchange, where colors are haphazard and materials give rise to unintentional sculptural ‘events.’ Upon entering the gallery, visitors encounter Fruit Salad, 2025, an installation comprising a jacket, an overcoat and trousers given to Fillingham by his long-time friend, the artist Tacita Dean. The set of garments, which belonged to her grandfather, Basil De ... More Hermann Max Pechstein, Märzenschnee: Der Bahndamm. 1909. Oil on canvas, 55 x 51 cm. Estimate price: € 200,000 – 300,000.

More Thomas Dane Gallery unveils "Push Me, Pull You": An exploration of materiality in painting NAPLES.- Thomas Dane Gallery in Naples is presenting Push Me, Pull You, an exhibition curated by Jenni Lomax. “Featuring works by nine artists from past and present generations, Push Me, Pull You arrives out of a conversation held in 2018 with the artist Amy Sillman. The note ‘pushing to the edge, pulling back from the brink’ arose from a discussion about painting in general, and the artist Prunella Clough in particular. What connects the artists in this exhibition is the sense that they think and – to quote Clough – ‘fight’ with their materials. By taking things emotionally and physically to an edge, before bringing them back into view, each artist allows shape, imagery and atmosphere to emerge. They therefore build a conversation that goes back-and-forth between the materiality of the process and something drawn from the back of the mind or caught out of the corner of the eye. Each artist plots ... More LAM museum acquires Dishwasher by Cuban-American artist Anthony Goicolea LISSE.- The LAM museum in Lisse has added Dishwasher by the Cuban-American artist Anthony Goicolea to its international food art collection.

It’s enough to make you feel hopeless.” Anthony Goicolea’s work is known for its references to other artists. “I borrow fragments from art history”, he explains. “It’s never imitation — it’s a conversation with what came before.” Dishwasher includes nods to the famous ...
