The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Saturday, February 1, 2025 Ithell Colquhoun: Surrealism, magic, and mysticism in a landmark Tate exhibition Ithell Colquhoun Between Worlds at Tate St Ives 2025. Installation View © Tate Photography (Lucy Green). ST IVES.- One of the most radical artists of her generation, Ithell Colquhoun (1906-1988) was an important, but often overlooked figure in British Surrealism. Debuting at Tate St Ives in February 2025, and Tate Britain from June, this landmark exhibition is the largest of Colquhoun’s work ever staged, featuring over 200 artworks and pieces of archival material including painting, drawing and writing; many of which have never been publicly exhibited. The exhibition draws on Tate’s significant archive of the artist’s work, tracing Colquhoun’s evolution from her early work and engagement with the surrealist movement, to her fascination with the intertwining realms of art, sexual identity, ecology, magic and mysticism. Following a loosely chronological path, the exhibition maps the influence of esoteric and surrealist concepts on the artist’s developing practice from the mid-1920s to the 1980s. Early paintings from her time at the Slade School of Fine Art are presented, incl ... More The Best Photos of the Day Installation view "The World in Colors. Slovenian Painting 1848-1918".

More than one in four buyers and bidders in the sale was new to Americana at Christie’s and 10 percent of all buyers and bidders were Millennials. Collectors competed for lots in all the many types of objects that fall into the varied categories that comprise Americana. The top lot of the sale was the first-ever of its kind to appear on the market, a handwritten copy of the Declaration of Independence dated from the 18th century, the Jones Declaration of Independence, which made $2,470,000. The Head of Americana, Cara Zimmerman, said: “Americana showed its strength today in everything from important Newport furniture to historic documents, folk portraiture, and silver.

Silent Music’ presents a series of new, large-scale paintings by the British artist, where her characteristically expressive brushwork yields animated surfaces that pulse with the dynamic energy of their making. For Goodman, the studio is a place of spiritual meditation. Each painting represents an act of intimate transmutation—a way for her to turn closely held memories and personal vulnerabilities into newfound stability. As the artist trustee at the National Gallery in London, Goodman has spent hours drawing from the collection and has developed a particular affinity for Old Master paintings, which she describes as her ‘only real teacher.’ Inspired by the intensity and drama of Renaissance masterworks by artists such as Titian and Veronese, and influenced by the poignantly psychological work of such groups as the London School, Goodman’s highly personal paintings ...

In the end, the annual specialty event rounded up a robust $1.9 million, with top-lot honors going to a unique and historically important book documenting Lakota Sioux tribal history. Created and maintained by Chief Sitting Bull’s nephew White Bull (1849-1947), the 162-page historical ledger and storybook was specifically intended to document Indian battles in the West. Consisting of 120 narrative pages, 33 illustrated color pages, and 28 additional pages that were either blank or faced drawings, the ledger was both visual and informative. “What made it especially unique was that it was a personal and original biographical account of battles, coups, combats and ...

LONDON.- Pace will participate in the second-ever edition of Art Gstaad with a solo presentation of new and recent works by New York based artist Genesis Belanger.

Known for her work across porcelain and stoneware, metal, wood, and painting, Belanger creates tableaux that draw from, and critique, the aesthetics of capitalist production and consumption. The sculptures she has made for Art Gstaad explore the consequences of overwhelm, each work representing a mode of self-soothing that range from the quotidian to the hedonistic. Describing her works as signifiers—images that represent a concept or object—Belanger has developed a visual language that is universally ... More Widline Cadet, An Elusive Echo #2 (Red), 2024.

NEW YORK, NY.- Peter Blum Gallery is presenting Traces of Us: Recent Photography, a group exhibition of new and recent works by Farah Al Qasimi, Widline Cadet, John Edmonds, Pao Houa Her, and Guadalupe Rosales. Traces of Us assembles five contemporary artists who employ photography to observe, document, and complicate personal histories and wider collective experiences. Though varied in their approaches, Al Qasimi, Cadet, Edmonds, Her, and Rosales each preserve and create cultural memory by challenging prevailing concepts and structures. Their works underscore the particular environments and inherited pasts that have informed them, while simultaneously bringing these aspects into the present. Evocative objects, uninhabited spaces, and constructed portraits allude to concepts of self and community, while questioning how fixed memories can be. Obscured or absent figures echo throughout many of the ...

More Hadi Falapishi, Edge of the World #3, 2024. Glazed ceramic, 31 x 19 x 16 inches. LOS ANGELES, CA.- BLUM is presenting New York-based artist Hadi Falapishi’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, Edge of the World. Exhibiting Falapishi’s new body of shrewdly deskilled panels alongside photorealistic paintings and bold ceramic sculptures, Edge of the World demonstrates the remarkable range inherent to the artist’s practice as he examines the widely varying possibilities for visual representation. Falapishi’s works cannibalize a vast quantity of reference material—from the Surrealists to Spaghetti Western films—to create a carefully selected composite of signs and signifiers. Deconstructing the vulnerabilities within both the act of viewing and of being viewed, Edge of the World is insightfully humorous, art historically allusive, and stylistically multifaceted. Growing up in Tehran as the son of two photographers and later studying photography at Bard College, Falapishi’s now interdisciplinary practice has a unique and expansive approach ...

Delving into comprehensive themes like identity, feminism, transformation and ecology, Emma Talbot (b. 1969) is known for her deeply personal and narrative-driven works, which combine painting, drawing, animation and text with a distinctive sense of craft. Rooted in philosophical reflections on the contemporary state of the world, Talbot creates intricate, mesmerising universes that seek to convey the collective human experience ...

Moses' work explores his fascination with the mutability of concepts, transitional spaces and processes. He challenged representational form and experimented with graphite, acrylic and oils by working with unconventional tools, such as mops, hoses and rubber scrapers. Innovative and experimental, Moses' work is instrumental in contemplating and pushing the p ... More Robert Henri, American, 1865–1929, Sylvester, 1914, oil on canvas. image: 32 × 26 in.

The show, Guðmundsson’s seventh at i8, presents As Far as the Space Allows (2025), a unique, large-scale installation that fills the entire exhibition space and conceptually reaches beyond it. As Far as the Space Allows begins with one etching, then expands, with each etching progressively larger and including red corners demarcating the growing measurement. The site-responsive installation begins on the left-hand side of the gallery as one enters, with Guðmundsson’s etchings tracing a path for the viewer. The artist’s final etching in the show extends toward the window of the gallery and lacks two red corners to close it, therefore representing an expansion of the work ...

The Kunstraum shifts the focus to forms of communication at the fringes and beyond language. Hoping that what leaks, murmurs, and vibrates bears world, we will delve into communicative liminal spaces, into ways of speaking and relating that elude the logic of conceptual communication and at the same time offer opportunities for contact and collectivity. Next to the exhibitions, there is an extensive live program along with a multifaceted, ...

More Christina Kimeze's first solo show explores "otherness" and belonging at South London Gallery LONDON.- The South London Gallery is presenting London-based artist Christina Kimeze’s first institutional solo exhibition. Kimeze’s paintings depict often lone female figures, immersed in natural landscapes or set within abstracted interiors distilled to focus on patterns or isolated architectural features, such as arched doorways and spiral staircases. The protagonists are based on the artist's friends, family, and sometimes herself, in works which she says, 'belong to a new exploration of the idea of existing between two emotional spaces and the feelings of "otherness" that can arise from this space'. The work explores themes of interiority, belonging and ideas of home. Evoking the feeling of nostalgia and remembering in her work, at times Kimeze has drawn on memories of visiting her father's home country of Uganda. The scenes she creates ...
