BASEL.- Hauser & Wirth Basel will present an exhibition of paintings and works on paper by the legendary Swiss concrete artist and graphic designer Richard Paul Lohse (1902 –1988), spanning the 1950s until the 1980s. A leading representative of the Zürcher Konkrete movement, alongside artists like Max Bill, Verena Loewensberg and Camille Graeser, Lohse was a radical thinker who combined a belief in the expressive power of color with the democratic potential of art during the early- and mid-20th century. His work also made a significant impact on the development of graphic design. From the 1940s onwards, Lohse’s modular and serial paintings employed systematic structures that aimed to standardize pictorial means. Showcasing works from his most iconic series of paintings using grids of colored squares—versions of which were exhibited at Documenta Kassel in 1982—this exhibition offers visitors a rare opportunity to experience his groundbreaking artistic approach firsthand.

Penck, “Selbst, Düsseldorf, Herbst (Self, Düsseldorf, Autumn)”, 1994. Acrylic on canvas, 32 x 23 1/2 inches (81 x 60 cm). NEW YORK, NY.- Michael Werner Gallery, New York presents The Temple of Many Faces, an exhibition of self-portraits by one of the most important artists of post-war Germany, A.R. Penck (b. 1939 in Dresden, d. 2017 in Zürich). Self-portraiture was an integral part of A.R. Penck’s artistic development during his life in the German Democratic Republic. Born Ralf Winkler, A.R. Penck shifted between pseudonyms to elude East German authorities who continually surveilled and harassed him. Unable to exist as his true self, self-portraiture was a way of affirming his individuality and identity as an artist. Penck’s work developed separately from the West, learning about the history and contemporary developments of Western art through books and reproductions. He was greatly inspired by Rembrandt, who famously painted over 100 self-portraits during his lifetime, and by Picasso, whose artistic developments can be charted through his self-portraits. Penck was also inspired ... More Lucian Freud, Leigh Bowery, 1991. © The Lucian Freud Archive. All Rights Reserved 2024. LONDON.- Tate Modern celebrates the provocative and boundary-pushing career of Leigh Bowery - one of the most fearless and original artists of the 20th century. In his short but extraordinary life, Bowery (1961–1994) forged a truly unique path. Known variously as an artist, performer, club kid, model, TV personality, fashion designer and musician, Bowery took on many different roles but always refused to be limited by convention. He reimagined clothing and makeup as forms of sculpture and painting, tested the limits of decorum, and created a new form of performance art to explore the body as a shape-shifting tool with the power to challenge norms of aesthetics, sexuality and gender. For the first time, Tate Modern brings together Bowery’s outlandish and dazzling costumes alongside painting, photography and video to explore how he changed art, fashion and popular culture forever. Charting the journey of a young boy from the quiet suburb of Sunshine in Melbourne, Australia, who became a ...

In Monsieur Steichen, she focuses on little-known aspects of Steichen’s practice (1879, Bivange, Luxembourg – 1973, Redding, Connecticut), including his lifelong passion for flowers, his textile designs and his experimentations in the field of colour photography. The works produced for the exhibition build upon what the artist describes as Steichen’s ‘lost threads’ and ... More Inzending van @nanankang.

More Baltimore Museum of Art opens reinstalled contemporary wing with a focus on nature and environment Tim Burton exhibition smashes visitor record at Design Museum Vladimir Yankilevsky and Valeri Vinogradov: Elementary Forms and the Anatomy of Feelings Thaddeus Mosley. Tatum Scales. 2020. BALTIMORE, MD.- As part of its strategy to illuminate new narratives through its growing global collection, the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) will open its newly re-installed contemporary wing on February 26, 2025. The new presentation, titled Crosscurrents, explores the different ways that artists working across the past six decades have engaged with, challenged, and found solace in turbulent times. The galleries feature 67 works, including a new commission by interdisciplinary artist Abigail Lucien. Foregrounding their Haitian-American heritage, Lucien’s practice engages with notions of future possibility, history, and senses of belonging. This exhibition, titled Abigail Lucien: Under Other Skies, features ten steel sculptures that evoke the artist’s concept of a “third space”—a place where truth and myth exist together and hold equal weight. The installation, which conjures elements of nature and architecture, speaks directly to the complex aspects of diasporic experience. ...

Elementary Forms and the Anatomy of Feelings at Lasnamäe Pavilion. The exhibition is curated by Tamara Luuk. Vladimir Yankilevsky, born in Moscow in 1938, and Valeri Vinogradov, born in the same city in 1952, both departed from Soviet Union. Yankilevsky initially settled in New York in 1988 and later moved to Paris a few years after. In contrast, Vinogradov left for Tallinn in 1980. To what extent does the life trajectory of two artists, developed in a similar cultural environment and political climate, influence the course of their work? Both are solitary figures with a Russian language and cultural background, steering clear of the hustle and bustle of the art world. Both navigate the complexities of being cosmopolitan while contending with homesickness. Vladimir Yankilevsky, a classic of Soviet alternative art, engages with potent polarities, ...

More Istanbul Biennial presents 18th edition The Three-Legged Cat ISTANBUL.- It is said that a cat has nine lives. A revered city dweller, the cat slips between gridlines, scavenges for the overlooked, and basks in the sun. Relying on wit and charm, it plays the unruly companion to neighbors and passersby. Despite millennia of domestication, it preserves its wildness in times of peril. Oscillating between play and danger, the cat has an anxious spirit that guides it through obscure passages. In a blasted landscape, this might cost it dearly, even a limb. The three-legged cat treads about silently, slinking in and out of view. Its altered gait carries the echoes of untold horror. Yet it still finds momentary respite, raising its gaze to the sky and questioning the planetary horizon. It practices new gymnastics, often faltering yet resolving with ceaseless grace. Following it off the beaten path allows us to mimic the cat’s mischief and make room for transformation, ...
