The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Monday, February 3, 2025 Rehs Galleries announce the Daniel Ridgway Knight Catalogue Raisonné Daniel Ridgway Knight, Julian Among the June Roses. NEW YORK, NY.- Rehs Galleries announce the launch of the Daniel Ridgway Knight Online Catalogue Raisonné - www.ridgwayknight.org, a comprehensive and continuously updated digital resource dedicated to the life and works of the celebrated 19th-century American artist. This scholarly project is being led by Howard L. Rehs, art historian and owner of Rehs Galleries. After completing his degree in art history from NYU in 1981, Rehs immersed himself in the British Victorian art market. He spent his first year living in England, learning how to examine and acquire works for the gallery's collection. Over time, he developed a profound appreciation for French 19th-century academic artists. Rehs's expertise and dedication to the art world have solidified his reputation as a knowledgeable and respected dealer, making him an invaluable resource ...

Ancient Sudan: A new touring exhibition explores the Kushite Kingdom Late works and rare collages: A new perspective on Louise Nevelson at Pace Gallery Galerie La Patinoire Royale Bach opens three solo shows Bronze figurehead of a goddess © 2024 The Trustees of the British Museum. LONDON.- A British Museum Spotlight Loan Ancient Sudan: enduring heritage examines this ancient culture’s skilled craftsmanship, distinct religious beliefs, and the important role of women in their society, as well as exploring the rich culture of modern Sudan. Positioned at a crossroads between Central Africa and the Mediterranean, Ancient Sudan was a nexus for people, cultures and ideas. The Kingdom of Kush (8th century BC – 4th century AD) was, at its height, one of the largest empires in the ancient world, ruling from the Blue Nile to the Levant. Its many notable rulers include Taharqo, who fought the Assyrians and built temples across Sudan and Egypt, and Amanirenas, who may have been the queen responsible for resisting Roman expansion into Sudan. Sudan’s cultural heritage now faces significant threats, due to an ongoing civil war that has displaced millions of people. While highlighting the efforts of Sudanese people to protect their heritage, the ... More Louise Nevelson, Untitled, 1977. Cardboard, marble, paper, paint, and wood on board, 36" × 24" (91.4 cm × 61 cm) 36-5/8" × 24-5/8" × 2-1/8" (93 cm × 62.5 cm × 5.4 cm), frame. NEW YORK, NY.- Celebrating its 62-year history with Louise Nevelson, Pace presents Louise Nevelson: Shadow Dance, a major exhibition of Nevelson’s late works, curated by gallery founder Arne Glimcher, at its 540 West 25th Street location in New York. On view from January 17 to March 1, 2025, this show places Nevelson’s iconic monochromatic sculptures in black and white in dialogue with her collages—including several rarely seen and never previously exhibited masterworks—made in the 1970s and 1980s. Like Mondrian’s, Nevelson’s compositions are based on a strict adherence to vertical and horizontal regularity. During the 1970s and 1980s, there was a significant development: Nevelson incorporated the diagonal into her vocabulary. A new, angular energy surfaced in many of the works she produced during this period, breaking the rules by which she traditionally ... More Joana Vasconcelos, Enchanted Forest, 2024.

BRUSSELS.- To open the new year 2025, the Galerie La Patinoire Royale Bach’s museale nave has been transformed into an Enchanted Forest with a unique installation by Joana Vasconcelos. The Verrière and Project Room is also hosting two solo exhibitions with gallery artists Irina Rasquinet and Geneviève Levivier. The exhibitions are open January 17 - March 1. Joana Vasconcelos’ The Enchanted Forest (2024) transforms the gallery into a landscape of monumental textile art. Making its European debut, this latest incarnation of the artist’s acclaimed Valkyries series pays tribute to Queen Seondeok, a pioneering figure in East Asian history, through a kaleidoscopic interplay of color, light, and craft. In Le Monde Sera Bleu Ou Ne Sera Pas, Irina Rasquinet fills the gallery’s glass roof with her playful and beguiling sculptures and works ...

Glass, wood, acrylic, PVC, edible elements, charcoal, stones, variable dimensions. Photo: Allison Borgo. PARIS.- Galleria Continua is presenting La Sección áurea, a new solo exhibition by Carlos Garaicoa, in its Parisian gallery in the heart of the Marais. The exhibition revisits the recent production of Carlos Garaicoa’s work, presenting a new series of paintings and sculptural installations that highlight the artist’s enduring interest in architecture, mathematics, geometry, as also revealed by the displayed preparatory drawings. This show marks a return to color as a central strategy in many of his works, allowing Garaicoa to revisit his origins as a painter while reexamining the themes and obsessions that have shaped his career. These influences include the European avant-garde, Russian constructivism, the Bauhaus, abstraction, and Cuban and Latin American concretism, as well as the literary imagination of Jorge Luis Borges. At the heart of the exhibition lies the series π=3.1416, a collection of relief paintings created using carpentry, painting, and ... More Installation view, FOUR PLAY: Eric N. Mack, Cynthia Hawkins, Alan Shields, Sol LeWitt, Paula Cooper Gallery, Palm Beach, Florida, February 1 – March 2, 2025. Photo: Oriol Tarridas. WEST PALM BEACH, FLA.- Paula Cooper Gallery announces a month-long winter pop-up exhibition in West Palm Beach, Florida. The presentation takes place in a dedicated exhibition space housed in a converted industrial building from the 1920s, and features works on paper, painting, sculpture, and assemblage by Cynthia Hawkins, Sol LeWitt, Eric N. Mack, and Alan Shields. Coming from three distinct generations, the artists are united by their use of vibrant color, diverse materials, and abstract forms. The pop-up follows the gallery’s three-year residency on Worth Avenue, where sixteen exhibitions were presented between December 2020 and April 2023. Using fabric and other found objects, Eric N. Mack (b. 1987) creates richly textured compositions that collapse the boundaries between fine art, fashion, and architecture. The exhibition includes examples of both suspended and wall-based works that repurpose overlooked materials ... More Eve Arnold, Marlene Dietrich at the recording studios of Columbia Records, New York City, 1952 © Eve Arnold / Magnum Photos. MONSCHAU.- The Photography Forum of the StädteRegion Aachen has kicked off its 2025 exhibition year with a major retrospective showcasing the remarkable work of Eve Arnold, one of the 20th century's most celebrated female photographers. Running from February 2nd to March 30th, 2025, the exhibition, titled "About Eve," features over 160 photographs, offering a comprehensive look at Arnold's extraordinary career. Born to Russian-Jewish immigrants in Philadelphia in 1912, Arnold's passion for photography ignited in the 1940s and remained a lifelong pursuit. Over four decades, she traveled the globe, creating powerful photojournalistic pieces, capturing intimate portraits of celebrities and dignitaries, and documenting the social and political issues of her time. "Arnold's works are historical documents with artistic significance, born from the photographer's sensitivity and her personal female perspective on the world," says Dr. Nina Mika-Helfmeier, curator of the exhibition and director of the Ph ... More Richard Misrach exhibition at Pace Gallery explores the San Francisco Bay Herlinde Koelbl unveils intimate portraits of Angela Merkel at Stadthaus Ulm Caro and Green: A dialogue between sculpture and painting at Annely Juda Fine Art Richard Misrach, Cargo Ships (January 11, 2022 5:02 pm), 2022. Pigment print mounted to Dibond, 58-1/4" × 79-1/4". NEW YORK, NY.- Pace is presenting an exhibition of recent photographs by Richard Misrach at its 540 West 25th Street gallery in New York. On view from January 17 to March 1, 2025, this is the first presentation devoted to CARGO, a body of work that Misrach began in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the last week of the show, advance copies of CARGO (Aperture, May 2025) will be available to view at the gallery. Pace will also host a talk between the artist and Sarah Meister, Executive Director of Aperture. Misrach is known for his poignant, large-scale color images that lean into social, political, and environmental issues while also engaging with the history of photography. In his radiant, contemplative works, Misrach—who is based in California—often examines the destructive impact of human interaction with the natural world. His works have examined man-made fires and floods, nuclear test sites, and animal ... More Angela Merkel, 1998 © Herlinde Koelbl. ULM.- At Stadthaus Ulm, visitors can now immerse themselves in a striking photographic journey that chronicles one of the most remarkable political careers of our time. In a newly opened exhibition, celebrated photographer Herlinde Koelbl presents a series of 23 intimate portraits of Angela Merkel—each capturing a different chapter in the chancellor’s transformation from the youthful “Kohl’s girl” into the world’s most powerful head of government. Koelbl’s approach is refreshingly simple yet profoundly revealing. In every session, the setting remains unchanged—a stark white wall, a lone chair, and a deliberate absence of direction. This minimalist backdrop forces the focus entirely on Merkel herself, allowing her expressions, posture, and evolving demeanor to narrate her own story. The photos not only document her physical changes over the years but also offer a window into the psychological and emotional shifts that accompanied her ascent in politics. The exhibition spans a period of immens ... More Left: Alan Green, Format, 2001, oil on linen, 110 x 70 cm. Right: Anthony Caro, Table Piece CIX, 1972, steel, painted slate grey, 48.3 x 106.7 x 61 cm LONDON.- Anthony Caro (1924–2013) and Alan Green (1932–2003) are prominent figures in post-war British art. Annely Juda Fine Art has worked closely with both artists, and subsequently their estates, for over 50 years. Caro and Green represent distinct yet complementary approaches to post-war abstraction, each redefining the boundaries of their mediums. Caro’s exploration of form, emphasising balance and tension in three dimensions, contrasts with Green’s focus on the materiality and autonomy of painting. Both artists, however, shared a profound commitment to challenging conventions, pushing the possibilities of their chosen mediums and inspiring subsequent generations of artists. By juxtaposing Caro’s groundbreaking sculptures with Green’s dynamic paintings, we witness a compelling interplay between the physical and the pictorial. Both artists pushed the limits ... More "Betye Saar: Let's Get It On" opens at the Neubauer Collegium Beyond definition: Xie Lei's figures and scenes evade categorization in new exhibition at Semiose Sebastian Blanck's luminous paintings explore color and emotion Betye Saar, Saar Hand Banner, 1968. Silk, fabric tape, ink, thread. 43.5 in x 31.5 inches. Courtesy of the artist and Roberts Projects, Los Angeles. Photo: Paul Salveson. CHICAGO, IL.- The Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society is presenting Let’s Get It On: The Wearable Art of Betye Saar, on view January 30 through April 27, 2025. The exhibition offers the first sustained look at a pivotal moment in Saar’s career, when a visit to Chicago’s Field Museum in 1974 transformed the way she conceived of herself as an artist. A display of more than 60 objects—including a ceremonial robe from Cameroon, costumes and jewelry designed by Saar, drawings, photos, archival materials, and more—casts new light on the way Saar’s early career in costume design informed her pioneering work in assemblage and installation. Let’s Get It On is presented as part of a series of exhibitions and events linked to Panafrica: Histories, Aesthetics, Politics, a multi-year research project at the Neubauer Collegium that is exploring the links between Pan-African politics and culture. The series includes ... More Installation view. PARIS.- The exhibition titles Chant d’Amour (1) in 2022 and Mort Heureuse (2) in 2025 chosen by Xie Lei, evidently bring to mind Jean Genet and Albert Camus, yet these discreet tributes emancipate themselves those tutelary figures, acting in a more general manner simply as a starting point for two series of paintings.(3) The omission of the articles “un” and “la” is certainly of importance: Is it not the means Xie Lei wishes to use in order to lead us down the pathway of song(s) and death(s) that remain radically undefined? This lack of definition or ambiguity, immediately noticeable from the titles at the threshold of the exhibition, is a significant feature of Xie Lei’s painting. It is something I already mentioned in a previous text concerning his practice: (4) the features of his figures preclude them from any form of categorization, be it gender, race or class. In an era that is justifiably concerned with positionality (5) and ... More Back, 2024, Oil on canvas, 54 x 45 inches, 137.2 x 114.3 cm, MMG#37370 NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery is presenting an exhibition of paintings by Sebastian Blanck, on view 30 January through 15 March 2025 at 525 West 22nd Street. Accompanying the exhibition is a fully illustrated digital publication featuring an essay by Rebecca Schiffman. In his new exhibition, “My Heart and Eye Agree,” Blanck reinvigorates the tradition of portraiture through his singular use of light, color, and composition. While his works are rooted in photographs of his wife, muse, and fellow artist, Isca Greenfield-Sanders, Blanck does not aim for complete realism. Instead, he employs lush washes of vibrant color to suggest form and line, softening the boundary between figuration and abstraction. Light becomes a textural element in his paintings, with ornate shadows adorning his subject’s skin. Her face is often obscured by sunglasses and wide brimmed hats, further limiting any overt emotional facial cues. As such, Blanck’s ability to evoke dramatic shifts in mood and at ... More Urs Fischer and Róisín Tapponi | In Conversation More News ZAK - Centre for Contemporary Art opens exhibitions of works by Alex Müller BERLIN.- Interwoven into a wide-ranging network of autobiographical references, Alex Müller’s first institutional solo exhibition in Berlin is a fascinating presentation of painterly, sculptural and installation works. Both poetic and objective, her paintings, objects and site-specific interventions mark stations and turning points in her personal and artistic life. The narratives are multi-layered and utilise the female form, the physical and subjective as well as unusual objects and materials to trace the lines, paradigms and distortions of life in a broad visual field. Again and again, an alter ego takes the place of the artistic self-image and the symbolic is expressed in the use of associatively charged materials and everyday objects. Isolated and decontextualised, they become both moving and absurd actors in a theatre with a strange dramaturgy. In addition ... More Winter season brings four new exhibitions to the Grand Rapids Art Museum GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.- The Grand Rapids Art Museum announced today four new exhibitions opening in January and February 2025. The dynamic lineup includes an exhibition of large-scale textiles and sculpture highlighting stories of migration across time, geography, and place; a Michigan Artist Series exhibition exploring the human ecological experience; a pioneering film work of institutional critique; and a largely unseen selection of prints drawn from the Museum’s collection of nearly 6,500 objects. “As we welcome the start of 2025, the Grand Rapids Art Museum is excited to present a new season of exhibitions and programs that offer unique encounters with art, artists, and one another,” commented GRAM Curator of Collections and Exhibitions Jennifer Wcisel. ​“These exhibitions offer a rich tapestry of perspectives — from Christopher ... More Ukrainian filmmakers Khimei and Malashchuk confront war and resilience in new exhibition at Kunstverein Hannover HANNOVER.- Kyiv-based filmmakers Roman Khimei (born in 1992) and Yarema Malashchuk (born in 1993) have been working together since 2016. Their artistic work often focuses on marginalised figures, characters who might be seen as extras against the backdrop of imperialist mythologies. The exhibition presents, in part as installations, a selection of film works created between 2022 and 2025 all of which deal with the events that took place since the attack on the young Ukrainian democracy. They address both the multiple Russian crimes as well as the resilience of the Ukrainian people. The filmic contributions use semi-fictional scenarios to tell of the realities that have been the sad truth in Ukraine for over 1,000 ... More Amirhossein Bayani explores themes of freedom and loss at Zawyeh Gallery DUBAI.- Zawyeh Gallery is presenting "The Season of Ruin’s Remembrance," a solo exhibition of new paintings by Iranian artist Amirhossein Bayani. The exhibition runs from February 2nd to April 6th, 2025. Bayani’s vibrant and intricate paintings delve into profound themes of life, immigration, and freedom, with a particular focus on the struggles of women. Working with landscapes, his latest series employs natural elements to express complex emotional states and envision a more harmonious future. Each piece in "The Season of Ruin’s Remembrance" is inspired by the true story of an Iranian woman who fought for freedom and ultimately lost her life. However, instead of depicting their heroic and tragic narratives, Bayani places these figures within ethereal forest seftings. They appear as statues or translucent spirits, memorialized amidst the trees, standing ... More American Museum of Ceramic Art announces the passing of founder David Armstrong POMONA, CALIF.- David was born July 8, 1940 in McPherson, Kansas. He and his family moved to the Pomona Valley when he was 4, where his father started a furniture business. He was part of the first graduating class of Upland High School and attended Pomona College. While at Pomona, he discovered two passions that would shape the remainder of his life: he met his wife, Julie, whom he would marry three years later, and he took his first ceramics class. After graduation, David was commissioned by the U.S. Army and served with the military police. While at Sandia Base, New Mexico, he created some of his first artwork. While he would not become an artist himself, David’s business and entrepreneurial spirit became a catalyst in founding a place to showcase the works of some of the truly great ceramics artists of our time. After his military service, he ... More N'ZO bridges Marseille and Switzerland in new exhibition at Kunsthalle Marcel Duchamp LAUSANNE.- For this exhibition at the KMD, N’ZO builds a bridge between his hometown of Marseille and Switzerland, using clichés as part of a wider discourse on culture and identity. This approach reflects his vision of art in perpetual motion, driven by a quest for meaning and connection. N’ZO questions the codes and symbols associated with Marseille, a cosmopolitan and energetic city, while reinventing its representation to offer a renewed vision, full of positivity. His work blends influences from Marseille with a creative violence that is far from destructive. This vibrant energy, which is what makes Marseille so unique, is deployed in creations that bear witness to the richness of its roots while seeking to build bridges between different cultures. N’ZO invites audiences on an artistic journey where boldness and freedom of expression are at the heart ... More "Woven Being" celebrates the diversity of Indigenous art and stories EVANSTON, IL.- Through the perspectives of four collaborating artists with connections to Zhegagoynak—Andrea Carlson (Grand Portage Ojibwe/European descent), Kelly Church (Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Tribe of Pottawatomi/Ottawa), Nora Moore Lloyd (Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe), and Jason Wesaw (Pokagon Band of Potawatomi) —Woven Being explores confluences that are continuing to shape Indigenous creative practices in the region and beyond. The Chicagoland region is a longstanding cultural and economic hub for Indigenous peoples, including the Council of Three Fires— the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa—as well as the Menominee, Miami, Ho-Chunk, Sac, Fox, Kickapoo, and Illinois nations. People from many Indigenous nations call the region home today, and the city of Chicago has the third-largest ... More Zimmerli Art Museum explores the multiplicities of indigeneity in 100 works by nearly 100 artists NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ.- An unprecedented survey of contemporary Native American art curated by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (Citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation) opened at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University—New Brunswick.
