The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Thursday, May 29, 2025 Charlotte Jackson Fine Art opens William Metcalf: DoubleTake William Metcalf, DoubleTake #6, 2025.

They catch you unexpectedly, these paintings. Nearly seamless against the walls of the gallery, they come alive as you move in front of them. Color: almost limpid in its pure and glowing transparence. Acrylics painted onto cut-out geometric shapes of 3mm thick aluminum Alupanel, utilizing a minimum of colors and elegantly simple shapes, these works might at first seem uncomplicated. But something about the colors of these paintings is like falling through water. An unexpected moment of synesthesia. A visceral diffusion into color. William Metcalf brings a collection of new pieces to DoubleTake, furthering the explorations of his ... More The Best Photos of the Day Portrait of Liliane Lijn, Tate St Ives, 2025.

Bartholomaeus Anglicus or Bartholomaeus de Glanville (c.1203-72) wrote about daily life with often amusing accounts of animals and children, but also helpful suggestions on how to set a table and give dinner. He clearly had considerable power of observation and a dry sense of humour. It was an early encyclopedia of what was then understood by natural science and was hugely popular in the Middle Ages. He has a scientific interest in facts and phenomena and the book covers everything from God, angels (and demons), mind and ...

More Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954), Olive Grove in Collioure, 1905. oil, pencil and ink on canvas, 46 cm x 55 cm. Photo: Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam. AMSTERDAM.- The Van Gogh Museum has acquired its first work by Henri Matisse (1869–1954), achieving a long-standing ambition to expand its collection of artists directly inspired by Van Gogh with a Matisse. Olive Grove in Collioure (1905) will be presented in the museum alongside a reed pen drawing by Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890). Matisse was directly influenced by Van Gogh’s expressive colours, as well as by his dynamic drawing style. Matisse made Olive Grove in Collioure in 1905 during his first summer in the Southern French town, where he painted many significant works. Matisse shared Van Gogh’s fascination with the sun-drenched Mediterranean landscape; he used vivid and unmixed colours to capture the shimmering summer light. Much of the canvas in Olive Grove in Collioure remains unpainted, and Matisse deliberately left drawn lines visible. This interpl ... More Cécile Verdier, President of Christie’s France and auctioneer for the Helga and Edzard Reuter Collection sale in Paris on 28 May. Photo by Marina Gadonneix. PARIS.- On 28 May, Christie’s Paris presented a remarkable group of 20th-century European works from the Helga and Edzard Reuter Collection. Anticipated with great interest in Germany, Italy and France, the sale attracted strong international attention, drawing some 220 participants for 49 lots. With 100% of the lots sold, the auction achieved a “white glove” result — a standing ovation in the saleroom underlined the deep appreciation for the artistic and human commitment of this exemplary collecting couple. Realising a total of €7.5 million, the sale far exceeded its high estimate, marked by intense bidding battles and a series of outstanding results. A highlight of the evening, Relief Planétaire Terre (Marseille, Aix), (RP 24)S by Yves Klein, estimated at €600,000–800,000, became a symbol of this truly pan-European sale.

VIENNA.- Layr is presenting the first solo exhibition of Nanami Hori (*1995, lives and works in Tokyo) at the gallery. The energy source of a typhoon is the water vapor produced by the evaporation of warm seawater. As it moves, the typhoon grows stronger by drawing in more warm air. However, when it moves northward and the sea surface temperature drops, it can no longer draw energy from the ocean and begins to weaken. Eventually, the typhoon loses its strength and disperses completely. The title Becoming ‘phoon’ is a pun that plays on the idea of “ruining” a typhoon - that is, aiming for the failure of the typhoon. In The Queer Art of Failure, Jack Halberstam argues that „stupidity, failure, and forgetfulness are more important than knowing, mastering, and remembering.“ He further argues that failure can be a way of critiquing capitalism and heteronormativity. Using examples from popular culture, Halberstam explores alternatives to individualism and conformity. Wor ... More The Photography Seoul Museum of Art. Photo: Yoon Joonhwan.

More 'These are portraits of a country' - George Shaw More News Klaus Gallery presents "Bodysnatchers": Art confronts modern anxieties NEW YORK, NY.- Klaus Gallery presents Bodysnatchers, a group show featuring works by Karsen Heagle, Jenny Jisun Kim, Levani, Mónica Palma, and Robin Peck. The 1955 Book “The Bodysnatchers” by Jack Finney, and its successive film adaptation(s), “Invasion of the Bodysnatchers” are often interpreted allegorically to reflect the anxieties of the Cold War era. In the story, alien spores replace citizens of a small town in California with “pod-people”—emotionless, sterile doppelgangers who if left unchecked would use up all resources and turn the earth into a dead planet before moving onto the next world. The plot has been seen as representing the threat of communism, McCarthyism and the “red scares”, and paranoia about societal collapse amid the threat of nuclear war. This show extends the themes in the story to current anxieties, including the loss of institutions and the rise of ... More Carpenters Workshop Gallery unveils Sylvain Rieu-Piquet's organic fusion of sculpture and jewellery LONDON.- Carpenters Workshop Gallery presents an exhibition exploring the fusion of sculpture and jewellery in the practice of Sylvain Rieu-Piquet, where organic forms seamlessly merge with the human body.

The glazed porcelain and stoneware vessels reflect Rieu-Piquet’s fascination with the medium of clay, through which the artist conveys the natural world at its roughest and finest by sculpting evocative shapes and patterns, finished in enigmatic colours. The jewellery pieces – including ...

More Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa explores dreams, memory, and childhood in light spectra MADRID.- The work of Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa (Guatemala City, Guatemala, 1978) fuses sculptural installation, video and performance to open a reflection on his own biography and on his country’s turbulent history, marked by different forms of violence and armed conflict. Ramírez-Figueroa’s practice draws from Latin American political activism and experimental theatre, calling into question established and entrenched narratives which have emerged on specific episodes in the recent past. Through the physicality of bodies and staged environments that envisage fantasy and reality, the artist revisits his own traumas and those of a country shaped by colonial extractivism, civil war and the social imbalance of the Indigenous population. With an absurd and humorous approach not without a certain coarseness, Naufus evokes themes related to identity, the body and cultural history which operate ... More The National Gallery announces a new podcast: Stories in Colour, released today LONDON.- Launching today, a new podcast by the National Gallery explores how pigments and dyes have been made - including the use of Mediterranean sea snails and Latin American bugs - and how international trade networks, legislation and even espionage have affected the spread and use of colour around the world.

Stories in Colour explores the hidden histories woven into colour from antiquity to the present day. In eight episodes, host Beks Leary from the Gallery’s Digital department talks to experts from the Gallery and beyond, including curators, scientists, historians and artists, about the ways in which colour has changed the world, artistically, religiously and scientifically and more. This new ...

More Thomas Demand and Alexander Kluge explore hubris and history PARIS.- I met a traveler from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert... Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: “My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.” —“Ozymandias,” Percy Bysshe Shelley In Percy Bysshe Shelley’s sonnet “Ozymandias,” the English poet offers us a melancholic warning about the dangers of hubris. Published in 1818 on the occasion of the arrival in London of a monumental statue fragment ...

A public reception with Learoyd and Palmer will take place on Saturday, May 31, from 2-4pm, with a conversation between the artists at 2:30pm. During the opening, Palmer’s ... More Tania Mouraud: In Honour of a Reborn Pain at Vytautas Kasiulis Museum of Art VILNIUS.- In Honour of a Reborn Pain is a project by contemporary French artist Tania Mouraud (b. 1942, Paris), who has created a special exhibition for the Vytautas Kasiulis Museum of Art, focusing on Litvak culture and historical heritage. Yiddish—the language through which the artist seeks new ways to write history—is highlighted as a cultural phenomenon. Phrases from poems by Litvak poets Avram Sutzkever, Rivka Basman, and Chaim Grade, and songs written in the Vilnius Ghetto by Hirsch Glickas, Alexander Volkovisky, and Shmerke Kaczerginski, become sources for Mouraud’s works. The artist’s recent pieces continue her long-standing research into the plasticity of typography, with a specific focus on Yiddish script. Using paper, fabric, and steel, Mouraud brings projections of historical trauma into the present through a visual language rooted in a distorted calligraphy ...
