NEW YORK, NY.- Rehs Galleries Inc., the New York gallery specializing in 19th and 20th-century works of art, has launched the Julien Dupré (1851-1910) Virtual Catalogue Raisonné (www.juliendupre.org). The catalogue raisonné project began in 1991 when Howard Rehs began researching the life and work of the 19th-century French Realist artist. At the time, information about the artist was scarce, but interest in Realist artists was growing among both collectors and art historians. Mr. Rehs early research was conducted in the archives of Knoedler Gallery, one of several dealers who represented the artist during his lifetime. Subsequently, the Frick Art Reference Library and the Getty Research Institute proved to be valuable resources for information about Duprés sales. In addition, Mr. Rehs was fortunate to acquire the artists account book and earliest sketchbook, which have provide ... More |

| Ketterer Kunst to offer a seminal work by Egon Schiele | | Christie's to offer Banksy painting from the collection of Sir Paul Smith | | The artistic aromas of Anicka Yi |
Egon Schiele, Schlafendes Mädchen. Pencil drawing with watercolors, 1908 (detail). 22 x 30,2 cm / 8.6 x 11.8 in. Estimate: 150,000-250,000 / US$180,000-300,000.
MUNICH.- This early work by Egon Schiele remained hidden in a private collection for more than 45 years. Now the pencil drawing with watercolors will be included into the catalog raisonné of the Schiele expert Jane Kallir, and will be sold in the Ketterer Kunst Auction from December 9 to 11 in Munich, Germany. Egon Schieles sheet Schlafendes Mädchen is of seminal importance, as it clearly shows the artists development from Viennese Art Nouveau to Expressionism. Next to the delicate representation of the model, the artist also reveals his own inner sensation, explains the auctioneer Gudrun Ketterer. Egon Schiele was only 18 years old when he rendered the sleeping girl in an extraordinary presence with just a few pencil lines and brushstrokes. Through the astounding reduction to vital details, the artist showed great poise in staging the body in all its comeliness. He had begun to study at the Academy o ... More | |

Anicka Yi at Tate Modern in London with one of her biologized machines that will float and undulate in the museum, Oct. 6, 2021. Lauren Fleishman/The New York Times.
by Tess Thackara
NEW YORK, NY.- Six years ago, artist Anicka Yi created an exhibition on a theme that now feels eerily prescient: human fears of viral contagion. After an ebola case was confirmed in New York, unsettling city life and causing months of anxiety, Yi set up tents at The Kitchen arts venue in New York City to display petri dishes containing bacteria she had gathered from 100 women. For Yi, 50, the germs and microbes that pass between us are key to understanding how humans respond to one another. And the air that we breathe is where much of this molecular exchange takes place. Now as she takes over Turbine Hall at Tate Modern in London for a solo presentation running from Tuesday through Jan. 16, 2022, Yi has made air her primary material and subject. When visitors enter the cavernous, industrial hall, they will encounter ... More |

| Richard Schultz, designer who made the outdoors modern, dies at 95 | | Phillips presents Art For Change: Comic Relief x Phillips | | Philadelphia Museum of Art opens the first major retrospective exhibition of the work of Emma Amos |
Schultz, the ingenious industrial designer whose furniture collections for Knoll, the design laboratory that streamlined American interiors, are among the classics of modern design, died on Sept. 28, 2021, in Princeton, N.J. He was 95. Knoll Archive via the New York Times.
NEW YORK, NY.- Richard Schultz, the ingenious industrial designer whose furniture collections for Knoll, the design laboratory that streamlined American interiors, are among the classics of modern design, died Sept. 28 in Princeton, New Jersey. He was 95. He had been in ill health, his son Peter said. Rust was the catalyst for Schultzs most enduring design: an elegant, clean-lined outdoor chaise made from plastic mesh, aluminum tubes and a pair of wheels. Florence Knoll, Schultzs boss, had taken a few metal chairs by sculptor and designer Harry Bertoia to her seaside house in Florida, and they had rusted out. (The Bertoia chairs are another modernist classic, manufactured by Knoll, which Schultz ... More | |

"India and Afghan," 1977, by Emma Amos. Oil on canvas, 42 Ã 23 inches; framed: 33 3/4 Ã 24 1/2 inches. Amos Family, courtesy Ryan Lee Gallery.
PHILADELPHIA, PA.- The Philadelphia Museum of Art is presenting the first major retrospective exhibition of the work of Emma Amos. As a member of the Black artist collective, Spiral, in the mid-1960s, an active participant in the Guerilla Girls of the 1980s, and a pathbreaking multimedia artist until her death in 2020, Amos made vibrant, witty, and passionate works that challenge, unsettle, and sometimes altogether reject the dominant visual codes of American life. Across her prolific career, Amoss art explored the links among personal biography, history, and the politics of race and gender in America. Organized by the Georgia Museum of Art, Emma Amos: Color Odyssey surveys Amoss body of work from the late 1950s to the 2010s for the first time, highlighting her bold approach to printmaking, painting, and weaving, and ...

LONDON.- Whitechapel Gallery is presenting Theaster Gates: A Clay Sermon, a major solo exhibition by Theaster Gates (b. 1973, Chicago). The exhibition initiates the artists year-long, multi-venue investigation into the material and spiritual significance of clay in craft, labour, community building, religion, colonialism and global trade. Brining together pottery, sculpture, film and research materials, the exhibition surveys works by Gates across two decades, from his early hand-thrown pots to his large-scale Afro-Mingei sculptures, a hybrid form which combines two strands of his works: Black aesthetics and Japanese philosophy. New large-scale ceramics created by Gates at the Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts, Montana, are seen here for the first time. These are displayed ... More | |

MADRID.- Pradiauto is presenting the group exhibition De Oro en su Núcleo. The project starts from the city of London and the Royal College of Art as the beginning of diverse links between Esther Merinero, Lina Lapelytė, Alejandro Villa Durán and Frederik Nystrup-Larsen. The exhibition is activated as a zone of convergence of ideas and artistic intuitions. An encounter that had already begun in time and is now materialising in space. From the 16th to the mid-20th century, in some wood-producing countries, the maderada was a river transport technique used to carry logs. Proceeding from the felling of forests and pine forests, these logs travelled along the river to places such as factories or industrial areas where they would later be used. In Spain, the people who transported these logs were called Gancheros. Their job was to help the logs to follow the riverbed and not stop. To do this, they climbed on top of them and let themselves ... More | |

Opening today, the exhibition brings together a group of eight historically significant works by Pintupi artists to acknowledge the 21-year anniversary of the Western Desert Dialysis Appeal, which was held at the Art Gallery of NSW in 2000 and raised more than $1 million through the auction of paintings by Papunya Tula artists.

The City in Masks: Photographs by Francesca Magnani on view at the Consulate General of Italy in New York
NEW YORK, NY.- The City in Masks (La città in maschera), an exhibition of 25 images by street photographer Francesca Magnani, is on view by appointment from October 7 through November 11, 2021 at the Consulate General of Italy, a landmarked 1917 mansion at 690 Park Avenue. Early on in the pandemic, many New Yorkers started coordinating their face coverings with their outfits and sometimes this new mandatory and concealing accessory became a statement in itself. Though the mask was needed for a basic protective function, it gradually transformed into a more complex object with multiple functions: communicating a message; expressing ones mood, personality, ethnicity, or community; signifying mutual respect or belonging; or indicating a political stance. With a background in classics and anthropology, Magnani has long been interested in issues of ... More

LONDON.- The ICA this autumn presents Channel B, an exhibition by the black-owned art, music and creative education initiative Nine Nights. Channel B is an audio-visual exploration of Black futurism, featuring five interactive sound and video installations that each act as a stage for live performance and broadcast. Traversing music, performance and art, the installations are created by multidisciplinary artists Gaika, GLOR1A and Shannen SP, whose work is rooted in the electronically mutated rhythms of the diaspora that pulse through every city on every night.

Gauri Gill's first solo exhibition with James Cohan opens in New York
NEW YORK, NY.- James Cohan is presenting A Time to Play: New Scenes from Acts of Appearance, an exhibition by Gauri Gill. This is Gills first solo exhibition with James Cohan and inaugurates the gallerys new Tribeca space. A central tenet in Delhi-based Gauri Gills practice is her exploration of collaborative partnerships as a means to blur the line between photographer and subject. This exhibition brings together new works from two of Gills collaborative series Acts of Appearance and Fields of Sight. Since 2013, Gill and renowned Warli painter Rajesh Vangad have worked together on Fields of Sight, a series of photographs taken by Gill and then hand-inscribed in black paint by Vangad, co-creating new imagery of life in Ganjad, a small farming village. These fantastical works combine the contemporary language of photography with that of ancient Warli drawing, a genre of folk art ... More
The 15-Minute City wins £100,000 OBEL Award for architecture
LONDON.- A truly liveable and sustainable urban future that places each global citizen at the heart of their own city. This is the goal of the 15-minute city, an urban model, which was chosen by the jury to win the third ever OBEL Award. The idea behind the 15-minute city is that cities should be (re)designed, so that all residents are able to access their daily needs (housing, work, food, health, education, and culture and leisure) within the distance of a 15-minute walk or bike ride. This greatly reduces car traffic and CO2 emissions and increases the health and well-being of residents. The model, which can be adjusted to local culture, conditions, and needs, has already been implemented with great success in cities like Paris, Chengdu, and Melbourne, generating a global movement. According to the jury, the 15-minute city is a beautiful and intuitive vision that has the potential to vastly ... More
Underground Museum looks to Philadelphia curator
NEW YORK, NY.- Meg Onli will join the Underground Museum in Los Angeles as director and curator, co-leading the museum with director and COO Cristina Pacheco. Onli joins the museum from the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, where she was a curator. Pacheco has been co-interim director and COO since 2020, and has served on the board of the Underground Museum since 2015. The co-leader model feels like the future, Onli said in a recent phone interview. The U.M. has always been a collective, so working collaboratively is natural. In 2012, artists Noah and Karon Davis founded the Underground Museum in four converted storefronts in the Arlington Heights neighborhood of central Los Angeles. Three years later, Noah Davis died. Throughout its existence, the museum has been a gathering place for people in the neighborhood and a destination ... More
Bernard Tapie, French tycoon, actor and politician, dies at 78
PARIS.- Bernard Tapie, a swaggering French businessman who lurched throughout his life from wild success to humiliation, knowing everything from high political office to the prison cell, died Oct. 3 in Paris. He was 78. The cause was cancer, according to a statement by his wife, Dominique Tapie. The announcement appeared in La Provence, a newspaper Tapie owned in the southern French port city of Marseille, where he was beloved due to the extraordinary success he brought its soccer team, Olympique de Marseille, after he bought it in 1986. He led a thousand lives, President Emmanuel Macron said in a message of condolence to the Tapie family, adding that Tapies ambition, energy and enthusiasm were an inspiration for generations of French people. Macrons praise of a man who was embroiled in legal problems for several decades and went to jail for five months in 1997 ... More
Superman comes out, as DC Comics ushers in a new man of steel
NEW YORK, NY.- The new Superman, Jonathan Kent who is the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane will soon begin a romantic relationship with a male friend, DC Comics announced Monday. That same-sex relationship is just one of the ways that Jonathan Kent, who goes by Jon, is proving to be a different Superman than his famous father. Since his new series, "Superman: Son of Kal-El," began in July, Jon has combated wildfires caused by climate change, thwarted a high school shooting and protested the deportation of refugees in Metropolis. The idea of replacing Clark Kent with another straight white savior felt like a missed opportunity, Tom Taylor, who writes the series, said in an interview. He said that a new Superman had to have new fights real world problems that he could stand up to as one of the most powerful people in the world. The coming out of ... More
Dottie Dodgion, a standout drummer in more ways than one, dies at 91
NEW YORK, NY.- Dottie Dodgion, one of the very few high-profile female drummers in the male-dominated jazz world of the 1950s and 60s, died Sept. 17 in a hospice center in Pacific Grove, California. She was 91. The cause was a stroke, said her daughter and only immediate survivor, Deborah Dodgion. Dodgion, who was known for her steady and swinging but unobtrusive approach to the drums, worked for more than 60 years with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Benny Goodman, Marian McPartland and Ruby Braff. She also led her own combos. But she rarely recorded. She didnt get the exposure that she might have gotten through recording because of her gender, said Wayne Enstice, who collaborated with her on her autobiography, The Lady Swings: Memoirs of a Jazz Drummer (2021). She wasnt taken as seriously as she should have been not ... More
