Three Women Around a Fireplace, c. 1825-1830. Pencil and charcoal on paper, 7 7/8 x 10 1/4 inches.
NEW YORK, NY.- “Drawing was not simply a hobby for me; it was a dominant, unique, and all-consuming passion, and it lasted with an intensity far beyond many other passions, until sorrows and constant worries came to tear me away from it... and even then, as soon as I had a little peace of mind, drawing almost became my sole occupation again and brought me all my joy.” Stephanie de Virieu was a draughtsman and sculptor born to the next generation of painters after Vigée Le Brun and Marguerite Gérard. Her drawings are a very recent discovery and her work is virtually unknown outside of France. Her story involves art, literature, politics and society in early nineteenth century France. Stephanie de Virieu was born July 14, 1785 into an aristocratic family from the Dauphiné region in southeast France. She lived to be 88 years old. Her oeuvre consists of some 3,000 drawings, and some sculpture, which she began making late in life as her eyesight started to fail. ... More
Dusti Bongé, Untitled (Green Tree with Pink and Orange Rectangles), 1985, Watercolor on joss paper, 5 5/8” x 4 7/8”.
BILOXI, MS.-Dusti Bongé Art Foundation (DBAF/the Foundation) is presenting a new exhibition of 40 watercolor, ink, and tempera works by the celebrated Mississippi modernist that have never before been on public view. The prolific and pioneering Dusti Bongé (1903-1993) continually experimented with color, figuration, abstraction, composition, and various genres throughout her long career. Thinking in Color: Selections from the Vault offers a vibrant showcase of Bongé’s later oeuvre inspired by the natural beauty of her native Gulf Coast, her dreams and visions, life experiences, and her deft use of color to communicate and engage. Several works feature references to her interest in Zen Buddhism which she had encountered in the 1950s through friends, like the gallerist Betty Parsons, in New York and investigated further in the 1980s. Organized by DBAF Executive Director Ligia Römer, PhD, the selection of intimately scaled works on paper ... More

LONDON.- Tate and Hyundai Motor Company today announce that Tarek Atoui will create the next annual Hyundai Commission. Tarek Atoui is an artist and composer celebrated for his innovative performances and installations that explore and challenge traditional perceptions of the medium of sound.

Central to his practice is the invention of intricately engineered instruments, made in collaboration with other artists, composers and makers, which double as sculptural objects. Often featuring organic elements ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- The new book by gestalten reveals how Japanese homes, understated yet radical, show that even the everyday can be transformed into something unexpected. A House in Japan - Lessons in Living is exploring how a thoughtfully designed home can fundamentally transform how we live.

The book is a showcase of unbridled creativity, presenting dwellings born from the constraints of ultra-compact sites and dense urban surroundings. Thes ... More
Alison Weaver has been named the Director of NYU's Grey Art Museum. Photo by Geoff Winningham.
NEW YORK, NY.- NYU President Linda G. Mills and Provost Georgina Dopico today announced the appointment of Alison Weaver, the founding director of the Moody Cener for the Arts at Rice University, as the director of NYU’s cherished Grey Art Museum. She will take up her new duties on May 26, 2026. President Mills said, “Few, if any, research universities have a deeper, more encompassing connection to the arts than NYU. NYU’s arts programming has been an engine for creativity that helps shape the cultural landscape. For 50 years, The Grey has been a core part of that—curating important exhibitions and making outsized contributions to the downtown New York arts scene. “Alison Weaver clearly understands the important role that The Grey plays both within the NYU community and more broadly in the city’s arts community. She’s keenly sensitive to the variety of constituencies that a university-based art institution such as The Grey Museum needs to serve. Moreover, she brings ... More

LONDON.- On the occasion of Georg Baselitz’s 88th birthday, Cristea Roberts Gallery introduces Geschichte, the artist’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, which presents a new body of work that focuses on one of Baselitz’s most enduring and provocative motifs – the eagle or Adler. This exhibition brings together over twenty etchings and aquatints that depict the inverted eagle alongside other animals, such as the hare and the deer, as well as the artist’s most recurrent muse, his wife Elke. The title of the exhibition, Geschichte, comes from the German word for history or tale. With this dual meaning in mind, Baselitz establishes a dialogue between two of his most famous motifs: the eagle and Elke, bringing them together in a new narrative (or Geschichte), whilst acknowledging the historical importance of both themes in his oeuvre. Baselitz’s graphic work often interrogates both ... More
Recording time precisely as it unfolds, the sombre night sky is intermittently pierced by bursts of air strikes, each flash leaving behind a deeper expanse of darkness.
DOHA.- In Fractured Moment (2025), Rashid Rana mobilises the power of an image as a witness and architect to modern- day conflict. It encapsulates the artist’s continued inquiry into space, time, and the relationship between wholeness and fragmentation. The work engages with formalism, documentation and abstraction as repositories for contemporary storytelling. It examines the tensions between surface and depth, presence and absence, order and rupture, and the consequences of political mechanics underlying trade and hostilities. What results are considered mediations on fractures that, once captured, reveal both the seen and the unseen, as they unravel. In the work, created as an archival inkjet print of paper and produced as a wallpaper, he serves the illusion of a frozen moment by presenting a sequence of static images drawn from CCTV footage of a night sky in Gaza. Deeply influenced by ... More

Donyel Ivy-Royal, Angela and Steven, 2025.
NEW YORK, NY.- Jack Shainman Gallery announced its representation of Brooklyn-based artist, Donyel Ivy-Royal. Known for his interdisciplinary practice that synthesizes a diverse range of influences—from post-Impressionism to the Mission School—into work encompassing a wide range of mediums, including painting, photography, sound, drawing and installation, Ivy-Royal brings an exciting and innovative new voice to the gallery’s roster. The gallery will debut his work with a solo exhibition at its Chelsea space in November of 2026. Guided by process and ritual, Ivy-Royal creates work that explores the act of return to a given subject. His paintings often utilize photography as a kind of preliminary sketch—documenting quotidian scenes that inform his visual language before later returning to these images as points of departure. He constructs his paintings through successive layers of addition and removal, building depth through accumulation while allowing traces of earlier ... More
Emil Sands. Photography by Adama Jollah.
NEW YORK, NY.- Olney Gleason announced the representation of Emil Sands (b. 1998, London; lives and works in New York) in joint partnership with Victoria Miro. Sands has developed a rigorously considered painting practice centered on the human figure, unfolding across expansive, often unsettled landscapes, and marked by a finely calibrated psychological charge. Sands' first solo exhibition with Victoria Miro, Watchmen, will open in Venice from 3 February to 7 March 2026, followed by a major exhibition at Olney Gleason, New York, in 2027. The artist previously worked with Nicholas Olney and Eric Gleason on Salt in the throat at Kasmin (January-March 2025), an exhibition that introduced his work to a wider U.S. audience. Eric Gleason of Olney Gleason says, "It has now been more than two years since we first encountered Emil's work and visited the studio, and to have had a front row seat to his impressive, thoughtful evolution has been a very unique experience. Emil possesses ... More

Centering artists making history: New exhibition at the Weatherspoon looks at the impact of experimental art NEW YORK, NY.- Sometimes, it is easy to see history being made—a rocket blasts off for the stars, or a cure spells the end of a disease. Other times, we need to look a little harder, though the impact we find may be equally great. The Weatherspoon’s new exhibition, Making [Art] History: Acts, Actions, and Reenactments, does just that, exploring in depth how various individual, collective, and artist-channeled methods of making art have played their part in multiple cultural and national histories. These creative efforts have resulted in artworks that both disrupted traditions within and set new directions for art history. At the same time, they engaged thematically and creatively with significant events and communal issues found in the history of this country and elsewhere. Making [Art] History is on view at the museum through July 18, 2026, and related programming ... More

New exhibition at UC Irvine Langson Museum charts California's rapid evolution and reinvention IRVINE, CA.- At Home in Sunlight: A State in Motion, explores California during a transformative period of unprecedented growth, when its industrial infrastructure and cultural identity were rapidly evolving. At the turn of the 20th century, California was a state in motion. Its major urban centers—San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego—competed to establish themselves as dominant Pacific trade hubs open to Asia. Simultaneously, waves of artists arriving westward from Europe and the US Midwest sought to capture the state’s landscape and new way of life. Painting outdoors, or en plein air, these artists developed innovative visual vocabularies to express both the ideal beauty of California’s environment and the realism of everyday life. Their work reflected a dynamic period of transformation, as booming populations and growing cities reshaped the land. ... More

M presents 'OXOMORON', Els Nouwen's first institutional solo exhibition LEUVEN.- Nouwen draws inspiration from images she has collected: observations from everyday life, historical and popular visual culture, optical illusions, and grotesque or humorous finds. This personal archive functions as a space for reflection, in which images are allowed to mature. The artist initially paints meticulously from photographs sourced from the media, the internet, art history, or her personal archive. However, the original image never remains intact. Once Nouwen becomes familiar with it, she intervenes: overpainting, scratching, wiping away, or adding new elements. These interventions are not decorative but essential to her working process. Nouwen seeks to reveal the scars of creation. The paint is not smoothed over, but presented in all its forms – rough or refined, lumpy or smooth, subdued or bold. The artist works across three media simultaneously ... More

On a day like today, Dutch painter Hendrick Avercamp was baptized
January 27, 1585. Hendrick Avercamp (January 27, 1585 (bapt.) - May 15, 1634 (buried)) was a Dutch painter. Avercamp was born in Amsterdam, where he studied with the Danish-born portrait painter Pieter Isaacks (1569–1625), and perhaps also with David Vinckboons. In 1608 he moved from Amsterdam to Kampen in the province of Overijssel. Avercamp was mute and was known as "de Stomme van Kampen" (the mute of Kampen).
