The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Friday, March 28, 2025 "Made You Look" at William Shearburn Gallery challenges perception with hyperrealism and illusion Humaira Abid, Folded Stories: Second Series - VII, 2024. Carved pine wood, 14 x 11 x 1 1/2 in. ST. LOUIS, MO.- William Shearburn Gallery presents Made You Look, a group exhibition showcasing artists who employ a keen attention to detail, ranging from hyperrealist painting to conceptual sculpture. Whether through the unconventional application of materials or uncanny realism, the illusionism created in this style is, in itself, a bit of magic. Artists in this exhibition use humor, play, and memory as starting points to explore topics ranging from the mundane to the bizarre—creating works that make viewers do a double take and question what they are truly seeing. Hyperrealist paintings by artists Marc Dennis, Brian DePauli, Rachel Kalman, Christian Rex van Minnen, and Rod Penner have a significant presence in Made You Look. Marc Dennis’s paintings are characterized by their vivid realism and intricate attention to detail, often blending cartoonish elements with lifelike representations. His work masterfully captures the essen ...

SYDNEY.- The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia presents Warraba Weatherall: Shadow and Substance.

Shadow and Substance is the first solo museum exhibition by Kamilaroi artist Warraba Weatherall (b. 1987, Toowoomba, Queensland). Curated by MCA Australia Curator Megan Robson in the Level 1 South Gallery, Shadow and Substance brings together new and recent works, alongside loans from public and private collections. The exhibition features dynamic installation, sculpture and video works which critique narratives found within archival and museum collections. In this presentation, Weatherall illustrates how the objects, materials and documentation held within museums ‘hold power’ and as such have great influence. The selected works draw attention to the ethics of how Indigenous property, ... More František Kupka, The Yellow Spot, 1918. 81.5 x 65 x 2 cm. Oil on canvas. mumok - Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien, On loan from the Austrian Ludwig Foundation, since 1981 © Bildrecht, Wien 2025. VIENNA.- The exhibition Never Final! is dedicated to the significant changes the Museum moderner Kunst underwent when Dieter Ronte was at its helm (from 1979 to 1989). Exemplary insights into the heterogeneity of the collection expansions are presented against the backdrop of the cultural-political parameters and programmatic decisions implemented during the 1980s—a time in which the cornerstones of collaboration with collectors were laid and strategic acquisitions determined the focal points in the museum’s collection for decades to come. Never Final! is a formula coined by then-minister of science Hertha Firnberg. It has defined the mumok as a dynamic place of change to this day. Following this objective, this serial project sees itself less as a traditional exhibition and more as a platform for collective research, ...

This important collection, gifted to The Met by René Balcer and Carolyn Hsu-Balcer, is among the strongest examples of Inuit graphic art in the United States. With works ranging from the mid-1940s to the present day, it includes major works by some of the most influential Indigenous women artists in history and will significantly enhance The Met’s collections of Inuit objects. The Balcer Collection represents diverse Inuit printmaking methods, including sealskin and paper stencils; monoprints; and carved stone, or stone-cuts, on paper, and features imagery of birds, ... More The Hispanic Society Museum & Library presents Adriana Varejão: Don't Forget, We Come From the Tropics Escher's illusions take root in Conversano: A journey through mind-bending art opens Amano's worlds unfurl in Rome: "Corpus Animae" exhibition opens at Palazzo Braschi Installation view. NEW YORK, NY.- The Hispanic Society Museum & Library is presenting Adriana Varejão: Don’t Forget, We Come From the Tropics, an exhibition of new paintings and sculpture by leading Brazilian artist Adriana Varejão. Marking the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in New York and her third in the United States, the show features new paintings from Varejão’s acclaimed Plate series and a site-specific outdoor sculptural intervention. The new works stem from Varejão’s participation in the inaugural Bienal das Amazônias (2023), marking two decades since the artist began conducting research with the Yanomami people in the Amazon basin. The exhibition premiers the latest additions to her celebrated Plate series. Inspired by the richly textural plates of Bernard Palissy, the 16th-century French potter, and Bordalo Pinheiro, the 19th-century Portuguese ceramicist, Varejão’s plates reveal surreal and sensual depictions of nature, femininity, and rebirth on large fiberglass tondos with ...

Opening its doors tomorrow, March 28th, and running until September 28th, 2025, the show promises a deep dive into the captivating world of the Dutch artist, a visionary whose work continues to fascinate and confound in equal measure. Escher, who passed away in 1972, remains a global phenomenon. His iconic images, with their impossible perspectives and tessellating patterns, resonate not only with art aficionados but also with those drawn to the logical precision of mathematics, the ingenuity of design, and the visual trickery of ...

ROME.- The Eternal City is poised to become a vibrant canvas for the fantastical as the Museo di Roma at Palazzo Braschi prepares to unveil "Amano Corpus Animae," a landmark exhibition dedicated to the visionary artistry of Yoshitaka Amano.

More Retrospective of Australian fashion icon Martin Grant opens in Melbourne Rock revolution relics take the stage in Heritage's Music Memorabilia and Concert Posters Auction New multi-year partnership puts photography in focus across Australia Installation view of Martin Grant on display from 28 Mar 2025 – 26 Jan 2026 at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, Melbourne. Photo: Sean Fennessy. MELBOURNE.- A leading figure of the global fashion industry, Paris-based Australian-born fashion designer Martin Grant is celebrated for his contemporary reinterpretations of wardrobe classics, including impeccably tailored suiting, exquisitely draped gowns and dramatic capes and jumpsuits. Heralded by the late Andre Leon Talley (former editor at-large of US Vogue) for creating ‘precise, sharp and full of grace’ garments with a ‘couture vocabulary’, Grant has dressed the likes of Cate Blanchett, Lee Radziwill, Naomi Campbell, Lady Gaga, Juliette Binoche, Tilda Swinton, Blake Lively, Emma Stone, Eva Longoria, Rebel Wilson, Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser of Qatar and Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan. Conceived in close collaboration with the designer, Martin Grant, opening at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia in March 2025, is the designer’s first major full career retrospective exhibition. With close to 100 works drawn from the NGV Collection, ... More John Bonham Stage Used Led Zeppelin Bass Drumhead With Photo Matching Documentation (1973-1975). DALLAS, TX.- On December 4, 1965, in a quiet San Jose neighborhood, something extraordinary happened. It was the night of the first publicly attended Acid Test, hosted by Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters, and it marked the live debut of the Grateful Dead — newly renamed from the Warlocks. Tacked up around town, a simple, hand-drawn poster pointed the way: “Can you pass the Acid Test?” it read, with an address — 38 S. 5th St. — scrawled beneath. This isn’t just a piece of paper; it’s a snapshot of a moment when the Bay Area’s psychedelic scene was taking root, and a band was stepping into history, for the first time as the Grateful Dead. And it serves as an anchor for Heritage’s sweeping and treasure-filled April 17-19 Music Memorabilia & Concert Posters Signature® Auction. The San Jose event wasn’t your typical concert. Kesey and his crew had their eyes on the crowd spilling out of two Rolling Stones shows that night at the San Jose Civic Auditori ... More Nan Goldin: The ballad of sexual dependency, installation view, National Gallery of Australia, Kamberri/Canberra, 2023. CANBERRA.- A new partnership between the National Gallery of Australia and the Bowness Family Foundation will enable four new photography exhibition tours across Australia. The partnership aims to elevate the important role of photography within the arts, to provide opportunities for regional and remote communities to access key works, and to bring the national collection to new audiences across Australia through touring exhibitions. Starting with Nan Goldin: The ballad of sexual dependency in Western Australia, The Bowness Family Foundation Photography Touring Program will see photographs from the national collection travel throughout regional Australia over the next three years. The program of four exhibitions will travel to twelve venues and will highlight the significant cultural influence of photography as an artform in Australia. Alongside the touring exhibitions, the program hopes to inspire creativity across Australia through programming and ... More Gaspard Maîtrepierre's "Depuis Bourg-Palette" opens at Galerie John Ferrère Hales Gallery presents Sarah Faux's second solo show, delving into the delights and discord of the body VMFA appoints Karen Daly as its first Senior Manager of Provenance Research Gaspard Maîtrepierre, Grandir II (Série O.O.B - Out of Band: « sortie des limites »), 2024, acrylic on canvas, 50 x 40 cm. PARIS.- Gaspard Maîtrepierre’s work functions as a pictorial tool that allows humanity to understand and reclaim myths. The artist gathers an array of symbols and allegories, drawing from both ancient and contemporary legends as well as the worlds of science fiction and video games. He translates them into an imagined fresco, where each piece contributes to a broader narrative—an unfolding story that viewers can appropriate, enrich, and evolve within their own imagination. Through this approach, the artist prompts a reflection on the supernatural nature of certain events. He taps into our most primal intuition, reigniting an ancestral urge to uncover the universe’s mysteries: the lurking shadows at nightfall, the celestial battle that blazed across Nuremberg’s skies in 1561, or those legends that still resonate with an eerie clarity today. His work challenges our ability to comprehend the unknown and the irrational, ... More Sarah Faux, Parts-work, 2025, Oil on canvas with Flashe, pigment and dye on cut canvas, 205.7 x 161.9 cm, 81 x 63.75 in, S_FAU0101. Photography by JSP Art Photography. NEW YORK, NY.- Hales opened Autofriction, artist Sarah Faux's second solo exhibition with the gallery. In a new group of large-scale canvases and 'cut-out' collages, Faux explores the delights and contradictions of living in a body. With energy and wit, this exhibition furthers Faux's painterly inquiries into the hidden lives of our senses and ourselves. The show's title, Autofriction, plays on 'autofiction,' a literary genre that pursues truth within the personal. The friction here also alludes to touch, self-pleasure, or to discord within one's sense of self. Throughout the exhibition, Faux's vibrant colours and intertwining shapes slide and slip, pushing and pulling, as imagery comes in and out of focus. By letting go of narrative, Faux's motifs emerge unburdened - zippers, fingers and limbs moving through ambiguous spaces - touching, gripping and clasping. Joyfully dissociative, Faux's compositions ... More Karen Daly stepped into her new role as VMFA’s first Senior Manager of Provenance Research on March 10. Photograph by Sandra Sellars, © 2025 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, RICHMOND, VA.- The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts announced the appointment of Karen Daly as the museum’s first Senior Manager of Provenance Research. Daly assumed the new role on March 10, 2025. The objective of provenance research is to trace the ownership history and location of an object, ideally from its creation to the present. VMFA conducts research on all works of art in its collection. “The creation of this new full-time position at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts demonstrates our commitment to proactively researching the provenance of the more than 50,000 objects in our collection and sharing this information with the public,” said Director and CEO Alex Nyerges. “We are delighted that Karen will lead this important effort.” Daly brings to the position more than 25 years of experience in museum collections management and registration.

More Christine Sun Kim: All Day All Night More News Elvira Bach, Salomé, and more: Vibrant 1970s Berlin art reimagined in new exhibition BERLIN.- KÖNIG TELEGRAPHENAMT presents the group show GUTEN MORGEN, DU SCHÖNE. It is the inaugural exhibition for the additional space at the Forum an der Museumsinsel next to the Telegraphenamt at Ziegelstrasse 16-17. The show features works by Elvira Bach, Luciano Castelli, Rainer Fetting, Anne Jud, Helmut Middendorf, Salomé, and Bernd Zimmer. The exhibition evokes an era of vibrant beginnings: In the 1970s, West Berlin became a city of longing for an entire generation. While curfews were being reinstated in other cities, Berlin remained the city that never slept. "Guten Morgen, Du Schöne"—a book by Maxie Wander, published in 1977 by Der Morgen Publishing—became one of the most successful novels in the GDR. On the other side of the Wall, the same year saw the birth of the Galerie am Moritzplatz, a collective exhibition space where Anne ... More MUZA presents Echo, featuring the NLB contemporary art collection LJUBLJANA.- MUZA, Museum, Gallery and Academy, is opening with the exhibition Echo presenting the NLB contemporary art collection. The exhibition focuses on newly acquired works by contemporary artists from Southeast Europe. Their ideas, thoughts and representations expressed in works of art are proof of vibrancy, dynamism and lucidity of artistic production in this region. At the same time, the exhibition explores continuity. The new works are placed alongside those from the older Slovenian art collection from the 20th and early 21st century, imbued with historical and cultural significance, highlighting the impact and ability of art to sensitively capture even the most subtle changes in the society. Like an echo, a voice message fragmented by spatial and temporal distance despite its imperfection serves as an important signpost that helps us understand our own position ... More Heard Museum announces 23rd Annual Katsina Doll Marketplace PHOENIX, AZ.- The vibrant tradition of Katsina carving tradition comes to vibrant life at the Heard Museum’s 23rd Annual Katsina Doll Marketplace: A Gathering of Carvers, on April 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. During this free event, known as the largest gathering of Hopi Katsina carvers in the country, guests will get a chance to meet renowned artists, collectors and enthusiasts inside the museum’s Steele Auditorium.

With determination and an impressive grasp of the complexity of our ... More Medieval monsters meet manga heroes: "Berserk & Pyrrhia" exhibition opens at Frac Île-de-France PARIS.- The image of the berserker, the legendary warrior, has spawned a number of offspring in film, video games, manga and rap music. In many myths, the berserker is connected to the earth, to animality, advancing without armor. In Kentarō Miura’s work, it’s through his armor that Guts becomes a berserker. The masterful drawings that animate the story of this manga are brimming with European medieval references, whether direct or inspired by darkly hued 19th-century medievalist masterpieces. Pyrrhia, on the other hand, is a butterfly that gave its name to an imaginary island, described in the books Les Royaumes de feu (Tui T. Sutherland), where reason-gifted dragons reign, depopulated by humans, yet there are small beings walking on two legs with a tuft of hair on their heads, called scavengers. More precisely, this Pyrrhia umbra butterfly is also known as “The Chrysograph”, ... More Krems poised to celebrate 30 years of artful impact at Kunsthalle anniversary KREMS.- As the calendar turns towards the end of March 2025, a buzz of anticipation surrounds the Kunsthalle Krems, a cornerstone of Lower Austria’s vibrant art scene, as it prepares to mark its 30th anniversary. The institution, which first opened its doors on March 31, 1995, will be celebrating three decades of fostering artistic dialogue and showcasing compelling contemporary works, both from Austria and across the globe. From its initial establishment as the focal point of Krems’ burgeoning art mile, the Kunsthalle has steadily grown in stature. Over the past thirty years, it has hosted an impressive 240 exhibitions, evolving into an internationally recognized space that consistently draws attention beyond the German-speaking world. Landmark shows featuring influential artists like Helen Frankenthaler, the introspective installations of Hans Op de Beeck, ... More Mary Banning's pioneering mycological discoveries take center stage in new exhibit ALBANY, NY.- Long before mushrooms and mycology captivated the public imagination, self-taught scientist Mary Banning dedicated her life to the study of fungi. However, due to her gender, her work remained unrecognized for almost 100 years. The New York State Museum's latest exhibit, "Outcasts: Mary Banning's World of Mushrooms," celebrates Banning's rich legacy as one of America's first mycologists, who uncovered, documented, and illustrated 23 fungal species new to science in the mid-1800s. Banning, devoting any precious free time she had outside of domestic obligations to her research, completed her unpublished manuscript, “Fungi of Maryland,” in 1899. The manuscript contained 175 exquisite watercolor illustrations and descriptions of mushroom species. It was entrusted to then-New York State Museum Mycologist Charles Peck and remained ...

More Berlinische Galerie presents Käthe Kruse with live performances by the artist BERLIN.- The artist Käthe Kruse (*1958) has been an integral part of Berlin’s art scene since the early 1980s. A member of West Berlin’s well-known music and artists’ group Die Tödliche Doris, she worked from 1982 to 1987 in the intersection between performance, music, text, painting, and film. To this day, Kruse also maintains a cross-genre approach and deliberate amateurism in her solo projects, creating large-scale installations that combine a variety of media and forms of expression. Her departure points frequently consist in everyday objects that she physically alters while assigning new meanings to them. Kruse’s works are often closely linked to her personal experience, but also reference larger social problems and topics such as domestic violence, abortion, and war. With “Käthe Kruse: It’s All Good Now,” the Berlinische Galerie pays tribute in its anniversary ... More Perrotin announces the representation of the Estate of Young-Il Ahn LOS ANGELES, CA.- Perrotin announced its exclusive representation of the Estate of Young-Il Ahn (1934–2020).

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (March 28 or April 6, 1483 - April 6, 1520), known as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period.
