The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Friday, June 7, 2024 Robert Simon Fine Art opens an exhibition of works by Baroque painter Luca Giordano Giovanni Battista Ruoppolo (Naples, 1629 – 1693) and Luca Giordano (Naples, 1634 – 1705), Fruit, Flowers, a Ceramic Dish and a Vase on a Stone Ledge Beneath a Grape Arbor, with Two Women Gathering the Bounty. Oil on canvas, 46 ¼ x66 ⅝ inches (117.5 x 169.2 cm). NEW YORK, NY.- While nearly all New York galleries present exhibitions on either up-and-coming artists or established modern and contemporary figures, Robert Simon Fine Art continues to mine the distant past. Luca Giordano (1634–1705) is the subject of a revealing monographic exhibition, one which brings together major paintings by this fascinating artist from both private collections and the gallery inventory. Giordano was the leading Neapolitan painter of the late 17th century. His work was greatly sought after throughout his life, and his career took him from Naples to Florence, and to Madrid, where he became court painter to King Charles II of Spain. ...

More Hunter Biden at his studio in Los Angeles, Nov. 1, 2019. (Elizabeth Weinberg/The New York Times) NEW YORK, NY.- As Hunter Biden’s life and business dealings have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years, leading to this week’s trial on gun charges, the president’s son has said he hoped to keep one part of his life unscathed: his art.

(Sylvia Jarrus/The New York Times) NEW YORK, NY.- When he was growing up in Southwest Detroit, Cristian Rubio was never all that curious about the shuttered train station that loomed over his neighborhood. The building, a couple of miles west of downtown, was among the city’s most visible symbols of urban decay and a go-to for photographers who wanted to capture its decline. Rubio’s interest intensified in high school, after he watched the 2009 music video “Beautiful,” which showed hometown ... More © Alex Israel, 2023 Courtesy the artist.

(Rebecca Smeyne/The New York Times) NEW YORK, NY.- Around this time last June, an orange dystopian sky loomed over the Museum of Modern Art’s Party in the Garden as wildfire smoke from Canada made its way to New York City. While this year’s event wasn’t exempt from air quality alerts (a health advisory was issued Tuesday), a mildly humid day in the high 70s seemed like a ...

Scott Blackshire, Ph.D.: Around the World in 80 Designs More News COUR opens Giseok Kim's first major European exhibition ANTWERP.- ‘Proceed’ is Giseok Kim’s (Seoul) first major European exhibition. It is the culmination of a period of research and focused experimentation in a particular direction, around a particular material and type of object – the Aluminium Shelf series. Consisting of nuts (joints), bolts (columns) and folded aluminium sheets (surfaces), the Aluminium Shelf series was initiated as a project reflecting architecture and industry. Rather than a specific set of objects, the essence of the series lies in an infinitely expandable modular system that emphasises order, symmetry, stability and efficiency. The Latin root of ‘proceed’ (procedere) means ‘to go forward’ or ‘to advance’, but the word is also a phonetic echo of ‘pro’ and ‘seed’, implying a certain kind of reproduction, the cultivation of a genetic (design) lineage. The new suite ... More Chiswick Auctions to offer Pina Goblet LONDON.- An Elizabethan silver and porcelain goblet carries a guide of £6000-8000 at Chiswick Auctions on June 11. The de Pinna cup, dating from c.1580-1600, comes for sale following an examination by a committee of experts and two episodes of testing at Goldsmiths Hall in London. This is the third time this piece, fashioned by an English goldsmith using a tea bowl imported from Ming China, has been prepared for sale. It was previously withdrawn following a disparity in opinion over its date. The decision on each occasion was to subject the cup to scientific testing. Chiswick Auctions’ head of department John Rogers is now confident the item is 16th century. The committee in June 2023 stating that the cup was “an amalgam of different elements, some of which may be older than others. The view was that in its present form it is most ... More Retrospective exhibition of the work of Martha Jungwirth opens at The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao BILBAO.- The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao presents Martha Jungwirth, a retrospective exhibition sponsored by Occident featuring nearly seventy pieces that encompass six decades of work. Austrian artist Martha Jungwirth (b. 1940, Vienna) is celebrated for her unique abstract vocabulary grounded in the physical world. Ranging from 1976 to 2023, the works in the show include a substantial selection of watercolors and oil paintings as well as three artist books spanning nearly 50 years of remarkable production. Jungwirth’s paintings and watercolors are informed by close observation of the human form, animals, the history of art, and extensive travel around the world. The resulting artworks evoke a sense of spontaneity through their erratic forms and intense colors. Martha Jungwirth’s artwork will be shown in Spain for the first ... More Portikus opens Tarik Kiswanson's first institutional solo exhibition in Germany FRANKFURT.- Portikus will open Tarik Kiswanson’s A Century, the artist’s first institutional solo exhibition in Germany. Delving into both biographical and collective history, in the exhibition A Century, Tarik Kiswanson unearths the complexities of historical events of the last hundred years of war, destruction and regeneration and how these resonate across generations and geographies. His practice spans media ranging from sculpture to drawing and film, and from sound and spatial interventions to poetry. Across various corpus, each work serves as a vessel that carries intricate narratives and transports traces of the past and the present. Composed of a series of recently conceived sculptures, Kiswanson’s exhibition unfolds in separate chambers formed by two high walls that divide the main gallery of Portikus. As if freed from the constraints of gravity, ... More Julien's Auctions announces additional marquee highlights to "Princess Diana's Elegance & A Royal Collection" LOS ANGELES, CA.- Julien’s Auctions announced today a collection of personal correspondence from Princess Diana as well as other important artifacts from Princess Margaret, The Duke of Windsor, The Duchess of Windsor, Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen Mother, and more will be offered at “Princess Diana's Elegance & A Royal Collection” the industry-leading Hollywood auction house’s highly anticipated auction event celebrating the timeless style and cultural impact of HRH, Princess of Wales and the Royal monarchy taking place Thursday, June 27th live and online in Los Angeles at Julien’s Auctions. Over twenty-five pieces of correspondence, photos and Christmas and New Year cards sent ... More Margo Guryan died in 2021. Her music keeps getting rediscovered. NEW YORK, NY.- In the late summer of 1970, Elton John arrived at Los Angeles International Airport for his debut U.S. shows and was greeted by another wildly talented piano-playing singer-songwriter: Margo Guryan. Her husband, David Rosner, worked for the company that signed John, and together they helped him get sorted in the run-up to his legendary performances at the Troubadour, kicking off a long, spectacular career. Guryan’s career proved less of a spectacle. After modest success as a jazz-pop songwriter, she recorded one album of her own, with Rosner’s encouragement. “Take a Picture” was alive with dazzling melodies, lyrical wit, strikingly intimate vocals and marvelously florid arrangements — a small masterpiece of the microgenre known as sunshine pop. But Guryan was a reluctant performer who refused to ... More At this school, the students live entirely for music NEW YORK, NY.- Delfin Demiray had packed too much. She was leaving her home in Ankara, Turkey, for the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. An 18-year-old who had never been to the United States, she didn’t know what to expect. As she prepared for her flight in August, loading her suitcases with clothes and books, she was still surprised at the turn her life had taken. Demiray had played piano since she was 8, and had a gift for reproducing music she heard on TV at the keyboard; she also liked to improvise with friends and write melodies of her own. But she didn’t think of herself as a composer until a year ago, when she applied to Curtis and, to her shock, was accepted. Her move to the United States would make her parents empty-nesters, but she tried not to think too much about the sadness of saying goodbye. “It’s just how life is,” said Demiray, ... More In a nostalgic revival, 'Home' is where the heart was NEW YORK, NY.- To say that Samm-Art Williams’ 1979 play “Home” is old-fashioned is to say that “The Odyssey” and “The Wizard of Oz” are too: They are all tear-jerking stories about lost souls working their way back to the proverbial place where the heart is. But another way to see them is as keen records of how we thought, at particular points in time, about our place in the universe. Is that ever old-fashioned? For “Home,” which opened Wednesday at the Todd Haimes Theater, the particular point in time is the tail end of the Great Migration, bringing millions of Black Americans to the North from the South in an attempt to escape racism and poverty. Among them is the play’s protagonist, Cephus Miles, a North Carolina farmer who winds up in a big city a lot like New York after spending five years in prison. His crime: taking too seriously ... More Little Island gets a reboot, with a rising star at the helm NEW YORK, NY.- On Saturday night, Zack Winokur stood at the top row of the amphitheater of Little Island. Hundreds of people had taken their seats for the first performance of the park’s summer season, but he didn’t feel like joining them. “I’m just going to pace,” he said. If Winokur, Little Island’s producing artistic director, was restless, it was for good reason. The park, a cluster of tulip-shaped structures that support rolling hills above the Hudson River, had been open since 2021, and its amphitheater had been used plenty of times before. But Saturday’s performance, the premiere of Twyla Tharp’s “How Long Blues,” was a milestone for Little Island, and for New York City: the opening, or rather rebooting, of an institution dedicated solely to commissioning and supporting artists, with Winokur’s curatorial vision and the extremely deep ... More At the Tribeca Festival, vision and vibes NEW YORK, NY.- Early in the animated film “Boys Go to Jupiter,” premiering at this year’s Tribeca Festival, an indie electronic beat kicks in. Like a music video rendered on Kid Pix, the sequence that follows finds the mulleted Rozebud (voiced by singer Miya Folick) tending to neon citrus trees while crooning a melody as catchy as it is ethereal. The film, from artist Julian Glander, belongs to a subset of Tribeca movies that use music in startling and adventurous ways. Their soundscapes conjure vision and feeling, as well as that ineffable thing sometimes called vibe. Running through June 16, the Tribeca Festival — it dropped “film” from its name in 2021 — is big on vibe, for better and for worse. This is an event that embraces virtual reality, artificial intelligence and immersive installations, that pairs its screenings with concerts ... More PhotoGalleries Gabriele Münter TARWUK Awol Erizku Leo Villareal Flashback On a day like today, French painter and sculptor Paul Gauguin was born June 07, 1848. Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (7 June 1848 - 8 May 1903) was a French post-Impressionist artist. Unappreciated until after his death, Gauguin is now recognized for his experimental use of color and Synthetist style that were distinctly different from Impressionism. In this image: Paul Gauguin.
