Jeffrey Henson Scales, Morning, House's Barber Shop, 1986-1992, gelatin silver print, 18 x 18 inches | 45.72 x 45.72 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.-Claire Oliver Gallery announces Jeffrey Henson Scales: House’s Barber Shop, a solo exhibition by the acclaimed photographer whose poetic and deeply humanistic images have shaped the visual language of Black life in America for over four decades. The exhibition centers on Scales’ powerful photographic series documenting House’s Barber Shop, a cultural cornerstone on Harlem’s Seventh Avenue that operated for over 55 years. House’s Barber Shop will be on view July 18 - September 20, 2025. This body of work was published in House (SPQR Editions), the 2016 monograph that reintroduced audiences to Scales’ intimate portraits of a now-vanished space, part sociological archive, part personal memoir. Shot between 1986 and 1992 with a Hasselblad 500C/M, the series captures more than a barbershop; it offers a reflective meditation on Black masculinity, intergenerational rituals, community storytelling, an ...

ATHENS, GA.- Looking to escape to Paris this summer? The Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia will let you do that without leaving the state, through the exhibition “Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris, 1900 – 1939.” This exhibition focuses on the impact of American women on Paris — and of Paris on American women — from the turn of the 20th century until the outbreak of World War II. The exhibition chronicles the stories of more than 50 women who sought freedom from American prejudices based on gender, class, race and sexual orientation in Paris, the cradle of modern culture at the time, through portraits and biography. Abroad, they were able to pursue personal and professional aspirations that would have been impossible to achieve in the United States. “Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris, 1900 – 1939,” is curated by Robyn Asleson, curator of prints and drawings, National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, and will be on dis ...

NEW YORK, NY.- This summer, The Metropolitan Museum of Art presents The Magical City: George Morrison’s New York. Born in Chippewa City, a remote Native American village on the shore of Lake Superior in northern Minnesota, George Morrison (Wah-wah-ta-ga-nah-gah-boo and Gwe-ki-ge-nah-gah-boo, Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, 1919–2000) overcame innumerable challenges—poverty, a life-threatening childhood illness, social isolation, racial and cultural barriers—to become a leader of the American Abstract Expressionist movement, which he collaboratively defined both publicly and behind the scenes. “George Morrison’s life and work has inspired generations of artists,” said Max Hollein, The Met’s Marina Kellen French Director and CEO. “Anchored by works from his time in New York, this meaningful exhibition celebrates Morrison’s creative achievements and explores how ...

HEBRON, NEB.- Ask Darlene Lambert how long she was married to her late husband Roger and she’ll give a wink and say, “Sixty years, eight days, six hours and five minutes.” The only things they loved as much as each other were family, the family business – Lambriar Kennels and Lambert Vet Supply – and their outstanding lifetime collection of beautiful, rare classic cars. Now, the Roger and Darlene Lambert Classic Car Collection – 39 automobiles, nearly all of them lovingly restored to their original glory – will come up for bid on Saturday, August 9th, starting at 10am Central Time, online and live at the Stastny Community Center, located at 1350 Dove Road in Hebron. A preview will be held at the venue on Friday, August 9th, from 10-5pm. “Roger and Darlene’s story is a love for each other and family, and to them, the cars were part of the family,” said Yvette VanDerBrink, whose Minnesota-based firm VanDerBrink Auctions is conducting the sale. “We ...

Fabrice Hyber, Adaptation, 2025. Oil, charcoal and epoxy resin on canvas, 120 x 80 x 2,5 cm (47 3/16 x 31 7/16 x 0 15/16 inches).
PARIS.- Galerie Nathalie Obadia is presenting Apocalyipstick, Fabrice Hyber's fourth solo exhibition at the gallery, following Habiter la forêt in 2021. Awarded the Golden Lion at the 1997 Venice Biennale, the artist has been developing an ever-expanding oeuvre for over thirty years, in the image of a rhizome: a system of thought and interconnected forms, based on proliferation, transformation and plastic experimentation. While the Apocalypse - whether ecological, biological or nuclear - pervades contemporary discourse, Fabrice Hyber's work offers an unexpected flipside. Through a series of new paintings and ceramics, the artist explores this notion not as an inescapable end, but as a passage towards transformation, aiming to reveal, beyond the collapse, the promise of a rebirth in process. "And when the first angel sounded the trumpet, there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast on the earth. And ... More

Ben Sakoguchi, Critical Art Theory: Eurocentric Hegemony (one million B.C - 21st century A.D) (#09) "MEDIEVAL TOWERS OF BABEL", 2022. Acrylic on board, maple frame. Courtesy the artist.
LONDON.- Gasworks presents Critical Art Theory, the first institutional solo exhibition in Europe by Japanese American artist Ben Sakoguchi. Ben’s characteristic painting style mixes diverse elements of figuration, history painting and Pop art to critique Western cultural values and idealism. Mainly using acrylic on canvas, he reproduces and juxtaposes imagery from film posters, newspapers, comics and internet searches to reveal subtexts of discrimination, mass media exploitation and state-sanctioned violence. By turns funny, sentimental and brutal, his paintings often intertwine politics with his own biography as well as stories of famous people ranging from U.S. presidents to celebrities. Ben was born in 1938 in San Bernadino, California. At age five, he and his family were interned at the Poston War Relocation Center in Arizona following U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt’s ...

KENT, OH.- The Kent State University Museum presents its summer exhibition titled “Sparkle: The Style and Jewelry of Aileen Mehle.” In honor of the Kent State University Museum’s 40th anniversary, this exhibition pays tribute to Aileen Mehle, a friend of the museum founders and widely syndicated society columnist. The exhibition features evening dresses and jewelry from Mehle that is being displayed in the museum’s historic Higbee Gallery from July 18, 2025, through Aug. 23, 2026. “Aileen Mehle had so much taste and enthusiasm that it is fitting to pay tribute to her as we celebrate 40 years of the Kent State University Museum,” stated Kent State University Museum Curator Sara Hume, Ph.D. “Her career as a journalist attests to her brilliant wit and driving work ethic, yet she took extraordinary care in presenting herself appropriately for the variety of social occasions she reported on. She is an underappreciated style icon who is finally getting her due.” ... More
Elisabeth Schrader, Lieber woanders, 2012. India ink on paper, 47,9 x 36 cm (unframed).
BERLIN.- Esther Schipper is presenting Lieber woanders, an exhibition by Elisabeth Schrader. On view are works on paper spanning the years 2005-2013. The world we encounter in Elisabeth Schrader’s drawings is both strange and familiar. Crocheted blankets, carpets, wall paneling, or tiled floors, their intricate pattern dense and sometimes slightly claustrophobic, circumscribe spaces that can feel domestic and fantastic. These interiors are depicted in fragments, some blend the outside and inside, as if entire rooms had been transported into the street; some are reminiscent of doll houses whose roof is removed so we may can look into them. The figures—men, women, sometimes children, often animals—seem arrested in a timeless space, caught in a temporal vacuum. Yet, there is an intensity: they appear engaged in a watchful state of examining the world around them, intensely focused on their activities, and deep in thought. And many are looking back at us. For Schrader, ... More

LAUSANNE.- The Collection de l'Art Brut is holding its first solo show of works by Chinese artist Ding Liren. The exhibition features a large selection of collages, none of which have been shown in Europe before. Ding Liren was born in 1930 and grew up in a rural area of Jiangsu province in eastern China. At the age of five, he developed a passion for insects, especially grasshoppers, mosquitoes, bees, butterflies, dragonflies and locusts. He would spend time observing the way they flew and listening intently to their calls, buzzes and whistles. He and his school friends also hunted for beetles and made little wooden shelters for them. Ding's curiosity for nature led him to study biology, although he harboured an obvious interest in fine art. In the late 1950s, he joined an entomology research centre, where he devoted his time to painting insects. Insect painting is a fully fledged genre of traditional Chinese art, embodying deep meanings. The ... More
LOS ANGELES, CA.- The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) announced several key leadership transitions to its Board of Trustees, effective July 1, 2025, reflecting the museum’s continued evolution, stewardship, and commitment to championing contemporary art and artists. Carolyn Clark Powers, longtime MOCA Trustee and President of the Board since 2018, has been named Chair of the Board of Trustees. Powers, who has served on the board for sixteen years, is widely recognized for her visionary leadership and transformative generosity in her many and wide-ranging philanthropic endeavors most notably at MOCA, her landmark $10 million dollar gift that has enabled the museum to offer free general admission since 2019.

ATLANTA, GA.- Two of Fulton County's premier legacy organizations, Hammonds House Museum and the National Black Arts Festival, partner to present Black Zeitgeist: Atlanta, the Visual Arts, and the National Black Arts Festival. The exhibition reflects a confluence of visionary leadership, artistic excellence, and institutional power: the bold cultural agenda of Mayor Maynard Jackson, the strategic foresight of Fulton County Commission Chairman Michael Lomax, the founding of NBAF, and the influence of the Black Arts Movement and the Atlanta University Annuals. These efforts were amplified by the support of African American owned businesses like Atlanta Life Insurance Company, the advocacy of cultural leaders such as Jenelsie Walden Holloway, Alice Lovelace, and Dr. Richard A. Long, and the collecting vision of pioneers like Paul R. Jones. Together, they helped shape a dynamic arts ecosystem powered by the creativity and determination of Black artists and communities. This exhibition will ... More

CHICAGO, IL.- The Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College Chicago (MoCP) presents Collaboration: A Potential History of Photography in Dialogue with the MoCP Collection from May 30 – August 16, 2025, co-curated by photographers Wendy Ewald and Susan Meiselas, art historian Laura Wexler, and MoCP Curator of Academic Programs and Collections, Kristin Taylor. This exhibition is an extension of the publication titled Collaboration: A Potential History of Photography, published by Thames & Hudson in 2024 and organized by Ewald, Meiselas, and Wexler, along with scholars Ariella Aïsha Azoulay and Leigh Raiford. The publication is one part of a much larger, long-term undertaking (over fifteen years of investigation) in which these authors have collectively examined photographic projects over the course of history to dive deeper into notions of authorship, visibility, and power. Looking at both artists’ statements and interviews with those depicted in photographs, they question what ... More

Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery opens an exhibition of works by Maeve van Klaveren LONDON.- A woman lies her cat pressed against her cheek. A hand lifts a veil of sheer fabric to glimpse birds sitting in the branches of trees, or places vases of flowers onto a table. Through quiet, tactile moments like these Maeve van Klaveren captures the gentle pleasures of daily life and a feeling of connectedness to nature. Each drawing in Rhythms in the Everyday, her solo exhibition at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, Wandsworth, pays tribute to the beauty and resonance of the unnoticed. Van Klaveren’s compositions are drawn from her daily observations and thoughts, which she records in written form before using found imagery and her own photographs to imagine a visual narrative that slowly evolves through the mark-making process and her engagement with colour. While the spaces she depicts are recognisably domestic, the soft textures and powdery tones complicate ... More
Passerelle Centre d'art contemporain opens an exhibition of works by Aurore Bagarry BREST.- Aurore Bagarry (1982) invites us to travel far away from the beaten track, far beyond the mere representation of the landscape. When we look at her photographs, we are not looking at picturesque views, but are plunged into timescapes, tableaux where geology evolves in a silent choreography, and where the passing of eras is sculpted by the light. Through her iconic series, from the majestic ‘Glaciers’ to the raw ‘Rocks’ via the evolving expanses of ‘From the Coast’, Aurore Bagarry does not capture the moment, she reveals its full extent. Her demanding and meditative use of the photographic chamber slows down the work, imposing a patience that impacts on the image itself. The infinitesimal details of the rock strata, the texture chiselled by the elements, the nuanced colours revealed by the dawn or dusk, all contribute to a profound, almost tactile, sensory experience. ...

Manifest Paris: A new event conceived as an ephemeral, creative, and committed capsule PARIS.- Manifest Paris will take place in the prestigious spaces of Galerie Charpentier, located at 76 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris 8th arrondissement. Conceived in collaboration with around ten galleries and partners, the event will offer a rich program combining talks, cocktails, and receptions, all set within an original and daring scenography. Manifest Paris is a capsule conceived with the ambition of showcasing modern and contemporary ceramics at the heart of Art Week in Paris.

"The event will be radically different ... More
Exhibition at FREIGHT+VOLUME explores how deep meaning can be found in near absence NEW YORK, NY.- A yawn is just a silent shout, and Minimalism has always yearned to yell into the void with a quiet voice. This revolutionary reductive language is like a vampire; it cannot be killed and will never die. The movement came to the fore on the heels of abstract expressionism in a desperate attempt to separate itself from the inward looking artist. So Sweet… So Perverse is wanting to explore the politics of aesthetics, and how deep meaning can be found in near absence. Frank Stella was exhausted by having his work be accused of cold intellectualism, when in fact it simply found a different kind of struggle, as if his lack of brushwork was somehow evidence of apathy or insincerity. Stella's stripes are the paths of brushstrokes, they lead only into painting. He was simply trying to find the right words to say the best things.This literal approach to art-making and the materials ... More
New R│A│P release: The Hollywood History of Art LONDON.- Ever since the dawn of the sound era, Hollywood has made a series of elaborate feature films about the lives of the great visual artists: including (among many others) Charles Laughton as Rembrandt; George Sanders as Gauguin; José Ferrer as Toulouse-Lautrec; Kirk Douglas as Van Gogh; Charlton Heston as Michelangelo–and, more recently on a smaller scale, Jeffrey Wright as Jean-Michel Basquiat; Derek Jacobi as Francis Bacon; Ed Harris as Jackson Pollock; Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo (at last a female artist!); and many others, pitched at more niche audiences. There has never before been a full-length book devoted to the fascinating story of The Hollywood History of Art, in all its glory. This profusely illustrated volume will fill this surprising gap. These films have represented the lives of artists in ways that ‘chime’ with public expectations and public attitudes. ... More
MoMI and Ari Aster team up for 5-film series "Eddington City Limits" ASTORIA, NY.- To coincide with the release of Ari Aster’s new film Eddington, Museum of the Moving Image will present Eddington City Limits, a five-film series co-programmed with Aster and MoMI Senior Curator of Film Michael Koresky, from August 15–31. This series features movies that both directly inspired or echo the escalating madness of Eddington, depicting powder-keg communities ready to spill over into violence or enclosed worlds so given to conspiracy and obsession that there’s no longer any sense of coherent reality. Aster will appear with two of the films for a conversation with Koresky: Robert Altman’s Nashville on August 17 and the August 23 screening of Oliver Stone’s JFK. The series opens with Lars von Trier’s Dogville, the still-polarizing drama about small-town American life starring Nicole Kidman, and includes Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch (35mm) and Steven ...

Van Gogh Museum and Takii Europe extend partnership AMSTERDAM.- The Van Gogh Museum and Takii Europe have been partners for a decade and are proud to announce that they are extending their partnership by another three years. The collaboration brings together art, culture and social engagement. Since the start of the collaboration in 2015, Takii has supported a range of initiatives in and around the museum. Each year, a ‘sunflower wall’ has been installed at the entrance, where visitors can take photos against a backdrop of real sunflowers. Other examples include creating a labyrinth of sunflowers on Museumplein and organising excursions for seniors with disabilities. The Van Gogh Museum and Takii both have a special connection with sunflowers, but another work by Van Gogh, The Sower (1888), also symbolises their partnership. While the Van Gogh Museum aims to inspire a diverse audience with the life and work of Vincent ... More

On a day like today, French painter Edgar Degas was born
July 19, 1834. Edgar Degas (19 July 1834 - 27 September 1917), was a French artist famous for his work in painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing. He is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism although he rejected the term, and preferred to be called a realist. A superb draftsman, he is especially identified with the subject of the dance, and over half of his works depict dancers. In this image: An auction house worker poses for the photographers behind a sculpture by Edgar Degas, ahead of an auction sale in central London, Friday, June 15, 2012.
