DRESDEN.- For the first time toward the end of 2023, the Kunstkammer Contemporary offered a view of the contemporary art holdings of the Schenkung Sammlung Hoffmann as well as of other collections of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. With the second Kunstkammer Contemporary, the format is being further established as a new array of works takes the place of those from the first Kunstkammer Contemporary. Every autumn, the Kunstkammer Contemporary is completely reconfigured, with a keyword serving as a through-line that informs the selection of works from the holdings of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. The keyword for the second Kunstkammer Contemporary, which runs from November 30, 2024, is “human.” And so, in the sculptures, paintings, graphic and video works, the exhibition will focus on what is human. Included are some very concrete thematizations of the human. The nude, a classic subject in art, is shown in numerous ...

More Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, André Wogenscky, Atelier Le Corbusier Type 1, Unité d´habitation in Marseille, 1946-1952, FRA. Photo: Neues Museum, Annette Kradisch. MUNICH.- Just short of a century lies between the first fitted kitchen and the personally configured kitchen of today. In the course of that long period, designers and architects developed countless new solutions and responded to changes in technology and society. The spectrum ranges from the simple cooking niche to the kitchen as the communicative heart of the home. It starts with the Frankfurt Kitchen (1926) by Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky. The first so-called fitted kitchen developed for around 10,000 apartments was intended to make the household as efficient as possible for women. Prominent examples from the post-War period show how important the kitchen was in Functionalist architecture: The kitchen unit for the Unité d'habitation residential tower block in Marseille (1946-1952) by Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and André Wogenscky with around 330 apartments or the kitchen designed by Arne Jacobsen ...

PARIS.- Sotheby’s Paris announced the sale of the Françoise Mayer and Marc Sohier collection. The collection, comprising seventy-four works, serves as a testament to the visionary journey of Françoise Mayer, a prominent figure in Brussels’ cultural landscape. From 1966 to 1975, Françoise Mayer ran her legendary gallery at 8 Rue du Monastère, where she was the first to give real support to the avant-garde in Brussels, viewing each artist she supported as innovative endeavour in pursuit of radical modernity. The collection is distinguished by a notable coherence of style, with a pronounced emphasis on abstraction, American abstract expressionism, spatialism and kinetic art. Featuring significant works by artists such as Alexander Calder, Josef Albers, Kenneth Noland and Lucio Fontana, the Françoise Mayer and Marc Sohier collection is an ode to form, light and movement, offering a nuanced representation of the avant-garde style of the 1960s and 1970s.

Photo: Carey Shaw. SASKATOON SASKATCHEWAN.- “Let’s build incongruous and problematic assemblages The artist dislodges the authority of ownership and expertise that the custodian holds onto. Penetrating the confinement of the storage space, the outside eye transgresses. It selects and releases a response from the object, bringing it out of the dark by re-appropriating, re-collecting, and re-classifying it through a heterodox dialogue of elucidation.” —Clémentine Deliss, “Manifesto for the Rights of Access to Colonial Collections Sequestered in Western Europe”, in Uneven Bodies, 2020. In the Light of What We Know weaves through Remai Modern’s public spaces. In the Connect Gallery, Céline Condorelli reframes the museum’s collection by including her own artwork and placing it in dialogue with other artists’ works. Presented in unexpected clusters of relations, the more than 75 works she has selected form new stories through an artist’s eye. ...

LOS ANGELES, CA.- David Kordansky Gallery is presenting Halfrican, an exhibition of new paintings by Chase Hall. The exhibition is on view in Los Angeles, where it occupies three of the gallery’s spaces at 5130 W. Edgewood Pl., from November 8 through December 14, 2024. Hall has developed an expansive vocabulary for documenting the ever-shifting line between personal and generational narratives. His distinct approach to his materials, which include the staining of cotton supports with espresso and the alchemy of producing his own coffee-based pigments which have characterized his work of the last few years, reflects and critiques the ways in which systemic forces of oppression, and trade, have divided people, territory, and the physical substance of the planet itself. As its title suggests, each painting in Halfrican poses a series of questions about how identities are constituted, often along lines ... More Luigi Colani, Leichttransporter 1 (Die Zigarre), 1970er, © Kalkhoff Bikes. HERFORD.- Two design exhibitions will open at Marta Herford in the Gehry Galleries: The Forms of the Future show focuses on the creative breadth and visionary potential of German designer and aerodynamicist Luigi Colani, while the 11th Recycling Design Award exhibition brings together innovative developments in the field of sustainable design. The Museum Marta Herford, located in the centre of the wood and furniture industry, has often addressed themes from architecture and design and is thus focusing now on the influence of Luigi Colani as a pioneer who was not only active and influential in the region but also attracted worldwide attention. Luigi Colani (b. 1928 in Berlin as Lutz Colani; d. 2019 in Karlsruhe) distinguished himself from dominant straight-line trends in design with his streamlined designs modelled on nature and developed his own, rigorous and innovative formal idiom. Many of his approaches are visionary from today’s perspective because he made use of the energies and forms ...

Vintage gelatin silver print on Agfa-Lupex Paper, 12 x 8.9 cm. Museum Ludwig, Cologne © The Estate of Elfriede Stegemeyer. COLOGNE.- In a double presentation, the Museum Ludwig is showing newly acquired photographs by Alfred Ehrhardt (1901–1984) in dialogue with photographs by Elfriede Stegemeyer (1908–1988). Although the two photographers never met, they shared an interest in the subject matter of water, beaches, and sand for several years. Alfred Ehrhardt studied painting with masters such as Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky at the Bauhaus in Dessau in 1928–29. Due to his modernist approach to art, he was dismissed from his teaching job at the Landeskunstschule Hamburg by the Nazis in 1933. Using a camera, he searched for structures and abstract forms in the sand dunes of the Curonian Spit and in the tidal flats of northern Germany, and discovered the sublime in details—his form of inner emigration. He was always intent on capturing the impact of Urkräfte, primordial forces, far away from civilization, ...

Using abstraction as a richly layered language her works are informed by the histories of art and mark ... More Nicholas Roerich, Castles of Gesar Khan, 1928. Tempera on panel, 21 by 27 cm. Estimate: 50,000-70,000 GBP LONDON.- In its École de Paris auction, MacDougall’s is offering five outstanding works by Nicholas Roerich from an important US collection, all of which are being offered for sale for the first time. All paintings were originally acquired from Louis and Nettie Horch, the infamous Roerich acolytes and the founders of the Roerich Museum in New York in 1923. All five works were part of the museum collection and are still framed in the original museum frames. The works were created during Roerich’s 5-year expedition through Central Asia, which largely defined him as an artist and a philosopher, believed by some to be the reincarnation of the 5th Dalai Lama. During the expedition, the artist created about 500 works, capturing a pictorial panorama of lands and peoples of Inner Asia, registering ethnic, folklore and archaeological findings, all that gave ‘roots’ to his spiritual landscape. Two works presented for sale are part of a ten-work series with the same title, Castles of G ... More History, stars and Country | Jonathan Jones: naa (to see or look) More News Karma opens Jeremy Frey's first solo exhibition in Los Angeles LOS ANGELES, CA.- Jeremy Frey is the foremost contemporary practitioner of Wabanaki basketry, a tradition that dates back more than 13,000 years and is the oldest continuously practiced art form in the area now known as Maine. Over more than two decades, Frey has honed techniques inherited from his ancestors while also inventing his own methods of weaving and dying the strips of wood that comprise his vibrant, patterned artworks. Unbound presents baskets alongside never-before-exhibited flat weaves and relief prints. These innovative ways of giving weaving new form—such as weaving flat, using his sculptures to make indexical prints, or turning to the moving image, as he did in his mid-career survey now on view at the Art Institute of Chicago—emerge from Frey’s desire to sustainably preserve both a natural material ...

More PhotoGalleries Gabriele Münter TARWUK Awol Erizku Leo Villareal Flashback On a day like today, Italian architect Andrea Palladio was born November 30, 1508. Andrea Palladio (30 November 1508 - 19 August 1580) was an architect active in the Republic of Venice. Palladio, influenced by Roman and Greek architecture, primarily by Vitruvius, is widely considered the most influential individual in the history of Western architecture. All of his buildings are located in what was the Venetian Republic, but his teachings, summarized in the architectural treatise I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura (The Four Books of Architecture), gained him wide recognition. The city of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In this image: A Royal Academy of Arts staff looks over a model of the Villa Emo at the Royal Academy in London, Britain, 27 January, 2009. The Royal Academy of Arts showed the first exhibition devoted to one of Italy's greatest architects Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) to be held in London. The exhibit follows Palladio's career, from the earlier palazzi in Vicenza, the Basilica and his innovative solutions to rural buildings. © 1996 - 2024 Founder: Ignacio Villarreal (1941 - 2019) Editor & Publisher: Jose Villarreal Art Director: Juan José Sepúlveda Ramírez Writer: Ofelia Zurbia Betancourt
