JERUSALEM.- A singular discovery - four rare bronze discs, designed in the form of lion heads, about 1,900 years old and dated to the Roman era – the 1st-2nd centuries CE – were just published for the first time in the official Israel Antiquities Authority journal 'Atiqot, No. 117. These ornamental discs were probably intended to enhance carrying handles for a coffin. Found in a 2018 salvage excavation at the Eyal interchange in the Sharon region, conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority in Khirbat Ibreika – they were lying in an orderly pile inside a grave, seemingly where once a wooden coffin stood – which was not preserved. According to Excavation Managers Dr. Elie Haddad and Elisheva Zwiebel, directors of the excavation on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority who authored this article, “This is a unique and rare set of finds: the carrying handle ring, which was attached — in most of the known examples from the Roman ...

BERN.- A major work by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Sonntag der Bergbauern (Sunday of the Mountain Farmers), is about to leave the Federal Chancellery in Berlin. The painting is known to a wide public because almost every evening it has been visible on the television news in the background of the German government’s Cabinet sessions. Exceptionally, it is now being allowed to leave its customary place, to appear as a guest in the Kunstmuseum Bern. For the first time since its joint exhibition with its pendant, Alpsonntag. Szene am Brunnen (Alp Sunday. The Scene at the Well) in 1933, the two paintings will be shown together, reunited, in the autumn exhibition Kirchner x Kirchner in the Kunstmuseum Bern, where they will form the sensational highlight of the exhibition. Kirchner x Kirchner: A homage to Kirchner’s biggest retrospective in 1933. Between ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Through August 3, Sargent and Paris at The Metropolitan Museum of Art explores the early career of John Singer Sargent (born 1856, Florence; died 1925, London), from his arrival in Paris in 1874 as a talented 18-year-old art student through the mid-1880s, when his infamous portrait Madame X was a scandalous success at the Paris Salon.

The exhibition is the largest international exhibition of Sargent’s work since 1998 and the first ever monographic exhibition of Sargent’s art in France.

Once again, this second sale offered a carefully curated selection that traced the evolution of trunk design and usage over the ... More

Follower of Francesco Guardi, The Grand Canal with a View of Santa Maria Della Salute and the Dogana. Oil on canvas, 22 ¼ x 29 ¼ inches (56.5 x 74.3 cm.).
NEW YORK, NY.- Baron Maximilian von Goldschmidt-Rothschild was born in 1838 in Frankfurt am Main, then part of the German Confederation. He grew up in one of the city’s most prominent Jewish banking families in a city (Frankfurt) that at the time was a thriving hub of business and intellectual life. The Jewish community, though still facing social barriers, was relatively prosperous and well-established and Maximilian was right in the middle of it all. He eventually met and married Minna Caroline von Rothschild, likely through the close-knit social world of Frankfurt’s elite Jewish families. Both the Goldschmidts and the Rothschilds were highly respected, and their marriage symbolized a merging of two powerful banking houses. After the death of his father-in-law, Maximilian also adopted the double-barrelled name, sealing this dynastic union. The couple seemed to enjoy a joyful and loving life together and had children, including their son Albert, who would later inherit the family legacy ... More

Ophelia Prologue 012025, 2025 (detail).
PARIS.- Besides the baroque’s obsession with the fold, often erotically overwhelming or spiritually elevating the human body – or both at the same time - the fold as a formal and conceptual principle in art is rather rare compared to flatness and the straight line. It could be tempting to extend the early Modernism’s contempt of the ornament to the fold, with its implications of something complex, hidden and opaque, as opposed to simplicity, exteriority and transparency. A few exceptions by major modernist artists only seem to confirm the rule, such as Simon Hantaï’s folded, painted canvas, Lucio Fontana’s transformative cuts, creating disruptive folds in the flat canvas, Christo’s wrapped buildings, proposing a new topography through the monumental folds of the fabric, Robert Morris’ folding felt sculptures, determined by the weight and gravity, and John Chamberlain’s crushed and folded car parts. Both Morris and Chamberlain ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Hales opened Afrotekismo, a solo presentation of video works by Namibian artist Tuli Mekondjo (b. 1982 Angola). Exploring a medium central to Mekondjo’s rich multi- disciplinary practice, this focused display of three seminal time-based works, Afrotekismo (2021), Kalunga Ka Nangobe / God of Nangobe (2020) and Saara Omulaule: Black Saara (2023), highlights her rigorous engagement with video as a way to speak to Namibia’s colonial past and present. Works from this show have been in several recent institutional presentations, including Mekondjo’s first solo exhibition in Switzerland currently on view at the Kunsthalle Bern (2025); the 15th Edition of the Biennale de Dakar, Senegal (2024); and the National Museum of Cameroon (2023), among others. The exhibition coincides with Mekondjo’s major commission for the German Bundestag, Berlin and follows her inclusion ... More
PARIS.- Inspired by the etymology of the word "text", derived from the Latin textus (fabric, weave) and the verb texere (to weave), the exhibition The Subversive Stitch explores how acts of weaving, sewing, and layering become a visual language. To weave, to write, to build—these are material and symbolic acts that connect the body, space, and memory. The exhibition title, borrowed from Rozsika Parker’s essay, echoes a reflection on textiles as spaces of resistance, reappropriation, and narration—often rendered invisible or relegated to so-called minor or domestic art spheres. Through sculptural, pictorial, and installation-based practices, the three artists featured in the exhibition explore the friction zones between rigidity and flexibility, interior and exterior, visible and invisible. They propose artworks as woven surfaces where industrial materials, gestures, and fragmented narratives intertwine. The Subversive Stitch weaves a ... More

Haus for Media Art Oldenburg presents Felipe Castelblanco: Counter-Expeditions OLDENBURG.- The Haus for Media Art Oldenburg presents Counter-Expeditions, a major solo exhibition by Colombian American artist, researcher, and filmmaker Felipe Castelblanco. The exhibition premieres several new works and offers a ten-year retrospective of the artist’s cross-disciplinary practice. It brings together a constellation of films, video installations, and photographs created in collaboration with communities across multiple geographies—from the Andean-Amazon foothills to the North Atlantic. Rooted in a conceptually rich practice of situated research and artistic intervention, Counter-Expeditions proposes a radical rethinking of the colonial and epistemic legacy of the expedition. While the traditional expedition is framed as an act of conquest, discovery, or extraction, Castelblanco’s counter-expeditions offer an embodied, reciprocal form of movement—one that prioritizes ...

Hartwig Art Foundation presents Digital Cosmos forum on art and artificial intelligence AMSTERDAM.- Hartwig Art Foundation presents Digital Cosmos, a two-day forum at De Thomas, Amsterdam on November 21–22 2025.

Digital Cosmos explores the current, unprecedented moment in time, in which artificial intelligence has diversified into a myriad of forms and applications, both inside our devices and in the world around us. It is evolving so rapidly that we might already be living in an “extended reality”, a cosmos of hybrid spaces and life forms. This extended reality is only possible because of a planetary network of computers and countless data centers that store the digital remnants of human ... More

Francis Upritchard bronze sculpture is newly installed at Roche Court Sculpture Park and Gallery SALISBURY.- In collaboration with Kate MacGarry, London, Roche Court Sculpture Park and Gallery announced that Francis Upritchard’s 2021 sculpture, Eels in Mud has been sited in the sculpture park. Francis Upritchard’s work is also on display in a solo exhibition, ‘Sing Siren’, at Kate MacGarry until 12 July 2025. Stooping over the verdant pond here at Roche Court, the strange and uncanny figure’s elongated arms drape to the ground. Hanging from his hands, a swarm of eels twist and contort, some arising from the still green water. In both the eels and the figure, the texture of the skin is rough, sagging and shrivelled, almost as if they were made from fabric. This is the result of Upritchard’s unique process of working, as many of her bronze pieces begin with a 1:5 maquette made from balata rubber. A material that Upritchard has been working with since discovering it in a market ... More
