The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Sunday, January 12, 2025 Never met, yet connected: Giacometti and Morandi in joint exhibition Giorgio Morandi, Natura morta, 1944. PARIS.- The exhibition Giacometti/Morandi. Still moments at the Institut Giacometti presents the unique meeting of the œuvres of two major post-war artists. Although they were contemporaries, Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) and Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) never met, but many essential characteristics bring them close together. This exhibition is the first opportunity to examine these connections: their particular practice in relation to their studio, the attachment to a familiar environment and models, and a singular research rooted in careful attention to real life. Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) and Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) were contemporaries. Both made of their studio, a room-studio in Via Fondazza in Bologna for Morandi, a studio in rue Hyppolite-Maindron in the Montparnasse neighbourhood for Giacometti, the matrix of an œuvre dominated by the continuity of a unique and same research whose development conveys the meaning of their respective lives. They shared the recurrence of ... More The Best Photos of the Day Exhibition View: "Mark Dion.

Ancient murals at El Tajín rise from the ashes, thanks to dedicated restorers and local community Sandro Chia's poetic fusion of art forms on view at Galleria Maggiore Akim Monet Fine Arts presents: Myths Reimagined: Rodin and the Art of Transformation The iconography represented in the pictorial manifestations corresponds to the Gulf cultures. Photo: Fabián González, INAH. PAPANTLA.- The vibrant colors and intricate stories painted on the walls of El Tajín’s Building I are slowly returning to life, thanks to the tireless efforts of a team of restorers and the support of the local community. The ancient city, a UNESCO World Heritage site, suffered significant damage in 2021 from Hurricane Grace and again in 2022 from a devastating fire. But like the resilient cultures that built this remarkable place, the murals are being painstakingly brought back from the brink. Imagine the scene: a team of 25 people, a mix of seasoned professionals and local residents, carefully brushing away soot, stabilizing crumbling fragments, and piecing together a fragile history. Led by the dedicated restorer Dulce María Grimaldi Sierra, this diverse group is working to save what remains of these precious cultural treasures. “It’s heartbreaking to see the damage,” says Grimaldi Sierra, her voice tinged with both sadness ... More Sandro Chia, Cornice, 2011. Maiolica policroma e tecnica mista su carta, 48 x 37 cm © Galleria d'Arte Maggiore g.a.m. PARIS.- In an explosion of colors, lines that tell stories, and shapes that chase each other across glossy surfaces, the Galleria d'Arte Maggiore g.a.m. is hosting a solo exhibition by Sandro Chia at its Paris location. Chia is one of the leading figures of Transavanguardia, a movement born in the 1980s in New York from a group of Italian artists aiming to revive figuration and narration-key characteristics of Italian art history and tradition. In Chia's case, figure and narrative unfold not only in painting but also in sculpture, mosaic, and ceramics. In this context, the Galleria Maggiore presents alongside some majestic painted canvases a selection of works created for Chia's important solo exhibition at the Museo Internazionale della Ceramica in Faenza (2011) - realized with the contribution of Maggiore g.a.m. - where painting and ceramics blend into a poetic continuum. As Chia himself states, "Ceramics are the celebration of the ... More Installation view. DALLAS, TX.- Akim Monet Fine Arts, in partnership with the Musée Rodin, Paris, announced its exhibition, Myths Reimagined: Rodin and the Art of Transformation, running through April 12, 2025, at the gallery’s Dallas location. This exhibition marks the tenth anniversary of the gallery’s collaboration with the Musée Rodin, offering a nuanced exploration of the timeless dialogue between myth, creativity, and transformation. The exhibition features a dozen Rodin bronzes, representing various periods of his career and illuminating the breadth and significance of his artistic legacy. These are presented in conversation with modern artists Joseph Beuys and George Grosz, as well as contemporary artist Lita Albuquerque, creating a cross-temporal dialogue that underscores the exhibition’s themes. A key highlight of the exhibition is the inclusion of works by Akim Monet himself, featuring photography and conceptual sculpture. By stepping into the role of artist, alongside that of gallerist ... More Experience Erwin Pfrang's intricate realities in 'The Ghosts Ask' at David Nolan Gallery New book celebrates the first 10 years of the Bosco Verticale Jeppe Hein invites you to experience his evolving artistic process Erwin Pfrang, Bodenhaltung (Barn Farming), 2018. Acrylic emulsion on canvas, 63 x 47 1/4 in (160 x 120 cm). NEW YORK, NY.- David Nolan Gallery is presenting Erwin Pfrang: The Ghosts Ask, its sixth solo exhibition of the celebrated German artist (b. 1951 in Munich). The gallery included Pfrang’s work in a group show in 1988, a year after its founding, and mounted its first solo exhibition of the artist’s work in 1991. A selection of Pfrang’s recent paintings and works on paper, showcasing the artist’s acute observations and original style, are on view in The Ghosts Ask from January 10 through March 1, 2025, also coinciding with Master Drawings New York 2025. Erwin Pfrang’s art rarely has a finite entry or exit point, nor many of the understood conventions of painting and drawing. His compositions evoke a modern-day Bosch, but are more deeply psychological, often depicting multiple perspectives within a single canvas or sheet of paper. According to the artist, “when you turn away from a picture, you often don’t know what was ... More The new book is dedicated to “the tree house that also hosts humans and birds”. © Boeri Studio. Photo: Dimitar Harizanov. NEW YORK, NY.- Inaugurated in the autumn of 2014, the Bosco Verticale was designed and planned by the Boeri Studio (Stefano Boeri, Gianandrea Barreca and Giovanni La Varra) and built and managed by COIMA in Milan’s Porta Nuova neighbourhood. It has just celebrated its tenth birthday, along with ten years of awards, recognitions, studies and work which have meant that today it is a symbol of the city of Milan, a model not only for green architecture but also a pop icon and a star of films, television series, quizzes, jewellery, fashion, advertising and even songs. “I realised that the Bosco Verticale was a game changer not when it won the award for the world’s best skyscraper, but a few months later, when the great graphic designer Giuseppe Montanari sent me his drawing of Dylan Dog and Groucho looking astounded at this strange, bizarre, high-rise home for trees, humans and birds in the heart of Milan” ... More Installation view. © Photo by Roman März. BERLIN.- KÖNIG Telegraphenamt is presenting When My Soul Throws Up, a solo exhibition by Jeppe Hein featuring a collection of works that gives insight into his current artistic process. Over the past few months, the artist has been experimenting with shapes, colors, and materials, and many of the exhibited works bear witness to his exploration of motifs, both new and old. Together, these pieces present Hein's developmental approach to finding new forms of expression for the themes that continue to inspire him and through which he wants to inspire others with his work. Hein's preoccupation with water, both as material and theme, is manifest in his fascination with the sea, a subject that can be seen already in his earlier works. He has always been inspired by the smooth surface of the sea, in its reflective properties, like those of a mirror, as well as in the changing structures in rough seas, and the restless movement of its waves, which remind us of the rhythm of life and how breath flows thr ... More Susan Hefuna's textiles explore fragility and planetary connection National Gallery Van Gogh exhibition to open 24 hours Sikkema Jenkins & Co. changes name to Sikkema Malloy Jenkins The show will run until March 8th 2025. ISTANBUL.- For her latest solo exhibition at Pi Artworks, Susan Hefuna presents her most recent body of textile works, a series which reflects on the fragility of life, nature and humankind. Reminding viewers of the cycle of time, LISTEN TO: The Sound of Earth, Sun, Water and Air, blends colourful collages of text and shape to trigger feelings of togetherness and of a connectedness with our planet. Informed by the aesthetics of Africa and Japan, the traditional craft of American quilts, and of storytelling worldwide, Hefuna has been creating textile works since 2001. Through exploring this medium in costume, installation and wall tapestries, she has developed her own artistic language that connects words with structures of dots and lines - motifs familiar from her multilayered drawings. In these striking, graffiti-like works, such as the WATER diptych or the LISTEN TO triptych, these connected white dots and lines ...

LONDON.- The National Gallery’s Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers (14 September 2024 ‒ 19 January 2025) is to open all night on Friday 17 January during the sell-out exhibition’s final weekend. With over 280,000 visitors so far - and tickets for some extra opening hours for the last weekend of 'Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers' already snapped up by mid-December - the Gallery has decided to open through the night for only the second time in its history (the first being for Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan in 2012.) The Gallery’s Director Sir Gabriele Finaldi hopes that visitors will be inspired by famous artists such as Lucian Freud, David Hockney and Francis Bacon who visited the Gallery during the early hours of the morning for inspiration. A devoted admirer of European painting and regular ... More New name reflects Meg Malloy’s two decades of partnership and marks new chapter for gallery. Courtesy of Meg Malloy and Sikkema Malloy Jenkins. NEW YORK, NY.- Sikkema Jenkins & Co. announced the renaming of the gallery as Sikkema Malloy Jenkins, in acknowledgement of Partner Meg Malloy’s longstanding contributions to the gallery. For more than twenty years, Malloy has been an integral part of the gallery’s leadership, working alongside founder Brent Sikkema and partner Michael Jenkins to develop the gallery’s program. "I’m happy to see Meg receive this recognition and I know that the artists, our long-term gallery friends, and clients will agree," said Michael Jenkins.

"Both Michael and I remain dedicated to the independent spirit and strong commitment to artists that was fo ... More Tom Allen's "Persona" at Air de Paris explores hidden depths through masked figures The Kent State University Museum announces winter exhibition New Taipei City Art Museum opens in April Tom Allen, Yesterday’s Twilights 2024. Oil on canvas 38,5 x 33 cm. Unique. PARIS.- Persona—the outer limits of self, hung on as mask, a bit of artifice. In the paintings of Tom Allen, a mysterious, ineffable plentitude emerges from the folds of promissory surfaces, projections of the masked, and the saturated effects, intensities of light and colour, which animate the strange surfeit as a kind of subject. Cloven and concealed, yet inexhaustibly present, are conformations and complexions that tell of a concealed presence, still invisible, yet surely there, as a possible threat, or lure, cached in high contrast and prodigious detail. Allen’s recent paintings, namely, are drawn out of, and into, the complex double movements of the titular ‘personae’—the scorpion and the bull, opposing signs courted from across distant asterisms and tropical lines; twin orchids, spotted with unseeing eyes, open wide; the sorrow chasing nepenthes, ‘quieting all pain and strife’; and, more enigmatic, the withdrawn masquerade of faces in low ... More Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson, þingvellir at Dusk, 2020. Photo courtesy of the artist. KENT, OH.- The Kent State University Museum announced its winter exhibition, “Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson: Micro/Macro,” a solo exhibition by Ohio-based artist, Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson. Consistent with the museum’s mission to showcase exceptional textile art and to inspire the next generation of artists, the exhibition includes over 30 large-scale works by Kent State alumna Jónsson. “I am thrilled to be exhibiting my work at the Kent State University Museum. It’s a kind of homecoming for me; a return to where I discovered my practice and developed my perspective as a young artist.” Hildur Jónsson explained. Jónsson received her B.F.A. and M.F.A. from the textile program at the Kent State University School of Art in the 1990s working under the mentorship of Professor Emeritus Janice Lessman-Moss. In the years since, she has continued to live and work in Cleveland. Despite her years in the United States, she feels that her ... More The New Taipei City Art Museum, 2024.

TAIPEI.- After years of preparation, New Taipei City’s first public art museum, the New Taipei City Art Museum (NTCAM), will open on April 25, 2025—as announced today by Mayor Hou Yu-ih. Positioned as a public art museum, the NTCAM aims to be more than just a cultural landmark by seeking to actively engage with citizens, artists, and the broader community through dialogue and collaborative projects. The mayor invites residents to preview the Museum during the soft opening from April 8 to April 13. The NTCAM is located in the Yingge District, just a 30-minute drive from Taiwan’s capital, Taipei. Nestled at the confluence of the Yingge River and the Dahan River in the Sanying Reclaimed Land, it is a key cultural initiative by the New Taipei City Government to promote local development and urban renewal. As a driving force for cultural innovation in the city, the museum integrates art, landscape design, lifestyle aesthetics, cultural ... More 'It's not enough just protesting' - Arahmaiani | Tate More News Sacred Space: Brandywine Workshop & Archive opens at Hammonds House Museum ATLANTA, GA.- Hammonds House Museum will kick off 2025 with the inspiring exhibition Sacred Space: Brandywine Workshop & Archive featuring the artwork of talented printmakers. In the realm of printmaking, there exists a sacred alchemy where art, technique, and collaboration converge to create something truly magical. This exhibition invites guests to experience that magic, and it will be on view from January 24 through June 22, 2025. Sacred Space: Brandywine Workshop & Archive encourages a personal exploration of spiritual connection and invites viewers to reflect on the ancestral wisdom and memory passed down through generations. The exhibition serves as a portal into the interconnected realms of spirituality, time, space, memory, and culture. “This exhibition, originally conceived at the Fairfield University Museum, has ... More Nina Azoulay sculpts identity through garments and memory at Michel Rein PARIS.- By the chance of an opportune meeting, by fortunate circumstances, through the immediate chemistry of certain bodies or the labor of numerous attempts, one occasionally witnesses the magic of well- crafted arrangements. For, despite calculations or appearances, one thing sometimes fits perfectly with another, matching it as though tailor-made. I believe that it is at this initial scale—the one of fortuitous assemblies, of an art of connection and detail—that Nina Azoulay’s work can be understood. Her gestures draw equally from the precision of the goldsmith and the resourcefulness of childhood; thus, through the simplicity of a stacking or sometimes a perforation, objects that would seem incompatible are affected and come together as sculptures—creating moments of weightlessness in certain places, levitations in others. This grammar of weight ... More Derek Eller Gallery opens a solo exhibition of new paintings by Joseph Olisaemeka Wilson NEW YORK, NY.- Derek Eller Gallery is presenting a solo exhibition of new paintings by Joseph Olisaemeka Wilson entitled Hard Times and Silver Teeth at the Spicewood County Casino. For this show, Wilson tells a story set within a visionary casino, replete with masked and costumed gambler/performers and chimerical slot machine/animal hybrids which resemble altars. In this timeless context, Wilson’s poetic narrative walks the line between reality and imagination, and gambling becomes an allegory for life and love. Joseph Olisaemeka Wilson (b. 1999, Los Angeles, CA) has lived and worked in New York since 2017. Recent solo exhibitions include Vielmetter Los Angeles; Asia Art Center Taipei; Tiwani Contemporary in London and Fergus McCaffrey in St. Barth. His work has been included in group shows at Palo Gallery, New York, Fergus McCaffrey, Tokyo, and Lyles & King, New York. ... More National Gallery of Kosovo announces artists for the 17th Gjon Mili Biennial PRISTINA.- The National Gallery of Kosovo announced the participating artists in the 17th Gjon Mili International Exhibition of Photography and Moving Image. Curated by Valentine Umansky (Tate Modern, London), She Who Starts the Song features works by 23 artists, predominantly from the Balkans, selected through an open call. The exhibition takes its inspiration from tepsijanje, a traditional musical practice rooted in Kosovo, performed largely by women. This unique form combines vocal melodies with the rhythmic spinning of a copper pan (tepsija). Here, tepsijanje becomes a metaphor for inherited gestures—passed from mother to daughter—that bridge generations with those of the past. Centred on an unnamed female singer, the exhibition explores gendered traditions and their ongoing subversion, examining photography, moving images, and sonic ... More Mérida's Palacio Cantón to host exhibition exploring the complexities of heritage preservation MERIDA.- The Palacio Cantón, Mérida’s Regional Museum of Anthropology, is kicking off 2025 with a thought-provoking exhibition that delves into the delicate balance between social protest and heritage preservation. Opening January 17th, "Restore and Resist: Constant Dialogues" will explore the recent restoration of two prominent monuments on Paseo Montejo, offering a unique perspective on how we value and protect our shared history. The exhibition focuses on the obelisk dedicated to Felipe Carrillo Puerto and the monument to Justo Sierra O’Reilly, both of which were impacted during feminist demonstrations on March 8, 2023. These events sparked a crucial conversation about the role of public monuments in contemporary society. How do we respect expressions of social discontent while also safeguarding our cultural heritage? ... More Acquavella Palm Beach opens its first exhibition with Harumi Klossowska de Rola PALM BEACH, FL.- Acquavella Palm Beach is presenting Harumi Klossowska de Rola: Sacred Woods, the gallery's first solo exhibition of the Swiss-based artist Harumi Klossowska de Rola. Titled Sacred Woods, the exhibition features new and recent sculptures that explore the artist’s reverential fascination with the beauty of the untamed natural world. Inspired by the grace and majesty of the animal kingdom, the show includes over a dozen sensitively rendered animals crafted out of bronze or alabaster; each sculpture is ennobled with a sense of spirit, physicality, and emotion. Sentient and animate, her artworks function as living, totemic entities, creating a bridge between nature and mankind. The passage of time and a rich sense of history is integral to Harumi’s work. Her handcrafted sculptures incorporate materials layered ... More The Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art announces robust initial slate of exhibitions NEW YORK, NY.- The Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art announced a suite of anchor exhibitions and strategic initiatives for 2025, which usher in a new era for the institution as a decentralized museum. As part of the Rubin’s flagship initiative Project Himalayan Art, the traveling exhibition Gateway to Himalayan Art will open in Utah and Minnesota. In New York, a new, temporary public art installation by Nepalese artist IMAGINE (a.k.a Sneha Shrestha) will open in Jackson Heights, Queens, in collaboration with the New York City Department of Transportation Art Program (DOT Art), and the Rubin’s renowned Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room will be unveiled at the Brooklyn Museum in June as part of a six-year partnership. In its efforts to expand access and appreciation for Himalayan art broadly across the globe, the Rubin will also embark on a new partnership ... More Nieuwe Instituut in 2025: Exhibitions, international projects and other activities ROTTERDAM.- At the end of February, the first Design Biennale Rotterdam will transform the city with exhibitions, talks and events dedicated to collectable design.

At the same time, the Nieuwe Instituut will open the first exhibition outside China on the internationally influential Beijing-based architect and his studio ... More Exhibition Programme 2025 of the Hamburger Kunsthalle HAMBURG.- The recent survey presented by Carsten Brosda, State Minister (Senator) and head of the Hamburg Authority for Culture and Media, revealed that the Hamburger Kunsthalle is successfully fulfilling its claim to be a museum for everyone: With 26% of visitors aged between 20 and 30, the largest age group among its guests, the Kunsthalle has a very young audience. The average age of the museum’s visitors is 46 years, which is significantly younger than the average audience of Hamburg’s cultural institutions. Our visitors are more likely to have a migrant biography and generally have a middle rather than a high income. So much on stereotypes about museums. The first exhibition, ILLUSION, already opened on 5 December 2024, and is our major special exhibition of the winter. With the subtitle Dream – Identity – Reality, the exhibition ...
