Christopher Le Brun, Moon Rising in Daylight III, 2024. Oil on canvas, 264.5 x 153.5 cm. 104 x 60 1/2 in.
PARIS.-Almine Rech Paris, Turenne is presenting 'Moon Rising in Daylight,' Christopher Le Brun's first solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from October 18 to December 20, 2025. If we say that painting is first and foremost covering a surface, this not only points to the obvious role of paint and gesture—the sequence of actions, rhythms, and energy that flow through the body and that the body transmits—but it also invites us to reverse our process of seeing. All the more so in the work of Christopher Le Brun, when layers of paint accumulate and brushstrokes are placed—we might say deposited like sediment—over a long period of time before the paintings leave the studio. Viewing these paintings, we no longer look through the surface, seeking a depth that would extend from the foreground to the background, as deeply as possible, but we roam over it, surveying this surface from top to bottom and from one edge to the ...

PARIS.- On 25 November, auctioneer Christophe Joron-Derem, assisted by Pascal Perrin, art historian and consultant, will present for the first time at public auction a major work by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, depicting young Jean Renoir with his nanny, Gabrielle Renard. Painted before 1910, this work has remained in the same family since its creation. It captures a tender, maternal scene and offers a rare glimpse into the childhood of the future filmmaker Jean Renoir (1894–1979), director of La Grande Illusion, The Rules of the Game and A Day in the Country. Jean Renoir retained vivid memories of those moments with his father: “When I was very small, three, four ... More

PARIS.- Gagosian presents Ed Ruscha: Talking Doorways at the rue de Castiglione gallery from October 22 to December 3. In the new paintings on view, Ruscha shifts from the representation of public-facing façades to the quiet drama of private interiors. Talking Doorways coincides with Says I, to Myself, Says I, an exhibition of another series of works by Ruscha at Gagosian’s Davies Street gallery in London, which is on view from October 14 to December 19. Over six decades, Ruscha has frequently returned to architecture and infrastructure as a subject, depicting gas stations, apartment buildings, parking lots, museums, houses, and industrial sites as seen from the street and the air. The paintings of Talking Doorways move for the first time from exteriors to interiors, using subtle gradients of stippling to depict rooms that are bare except for decorative molding and ... More
LONDON.- The British Museum has launched a major campaign to save the 'Tudor Heart', a spectacular gold pendant linked to Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon, by acquiring it permanently for the nation. Discovered in 2019 by a metal detectorist, the Museum has the opportunity to purchase the Heart to stop it entering a private collection. It hopes to raise £3.5m by April 2026 and calls for public support to achieve this goal and help ensure it remains on view for generations to come. The dazzling heart-shaped 24-carat-gold pendant offers a rare glimpse into Henry VIII's marriage to Katherine of Aragon, uniting the Tudor rose with Katherine's pomegranate symbol. Beneath, a banner reads tousiors, the old French for 'always', a poignant declaration of an eternal connection. Their marriage, lasting 24 years, was the longest of Henry's life and shaped the early Tudor court with Katherine as a trusted partner of Henry, sometimes acting as Regent in his times of absence. Almost ... More
In analyzing the Foundation Stone, David Stuart and Octavio Esparza agree that it is the same individual cited in Panel 7 and in stelae 26 and 30 of the archaeological site. Photo: Octavio Esparza.
MEXICO CITY.- Cobá, the ancient Maya city of soaring pyramids and winding stone causeways in Quintana Roo, is finally giving up a monumental secret: the name of one of its most powerful rulers. Epigraphers have decoded an extensive new inscription that clearly identifies Ix Ch’ak Ch’een, a woman who governed the city—whose name means “chopped water”—back in the 6th century A.D. The key to this revelation is the Foundation Stone (La Roca de la Fundación), a massive slab discovered just over a year ago near a water reservoir (aguada) within the Nohoch Mul Group. Its size and its direct association with a crucial water source immediately marked it as significant. Discovered by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) as part of the Promeza archaeological project, the stone's glyphs are now being meticulously ... More

Colby celebrates installation of monumental sculpture and forthcoming painting WATERVILLE, ME.- Colby College celebrated the unveiling of a monumental sculpture by noted American modernist Albert Paley on Oct. 16, the first major piece of a promised gift from Rob Radloff and Ann Beha, D.F.A. ’24, to create access to museum-quality art across campus and accentuate Colby’s commitment to the power and practice of living with art on a daily basis. The 14-foot-tall Corten steel sculpture, titled Proscenium EX-252, stands prominently along Mayflower Hill Drive in front of the Gordon Center for Creative and Performing Arts, creating a dramatic entrance to the building. With sharp angles and soft curves that reach skyward, Proscenium EX-252 explores architectural elements and organic form. In addition to the Paley sculpture, Radloff and Beha also donated Catch I by John Walker, a British-born, Maine-based modernist painter whose artworks ... More

Arta Sperto presents KorSonoR-Sound and Visual Arts 2025 GENEVA.- Now firmly established as a biennial event following its inaugural edition in 2023, the second KorSonoR continues its exploration of sound in all its dimensions—bodily, social, technological, architectural and natural. What we call “sound” spans a vast spectrum: vocal, instrumental, electronic, field recordings, spatial resonances, sound archives and more. Sound is everywhere. It carries emotional, documentary, memorial, sociocultural, political and creative meaning. Sound calls for listening—for attentiveness—qualities that deepen our perception of people, objects and situations, and that spark the imagination. It unfolds through time, inviting reflection, introspection and a more nuanced understanding of the world around us. KorSonoR draws inspiration from the pioneering work of Max Neuhaus, the “father” of sound installation, who created three pieces for Geneva, ... More
Gabriel Mills unveils 'The Great Collapse': A bold exploration of weight and atmosphere in paint NEW YORK, NY.- Alexander Berggruen presents Gabriel Mills: The Great Collapse. Our second solo show with the artist, this exhibition will open Wednesday, October 22, 2025 with a 5-7 pm reception at the gallery (1018 Madison Avenue, Floor 3, New York, NY). Through distinctive approaches to process and color, Gabriel Mills’s paintings enigmatically reconcile material presence with atmospheric release. These two orbiting facets of his work have become further refined and idiosyncratic in this exhibition The Great Collapse. First, he audaciously maneuvers around the material conditions of oil paint by intentionally employing the various mishaps and failures that can happen when pushing the chemical makeup of paint to its presumed limits. Second, his unorthodox yet captivating approach to color results in unexpected, widely contrasting saturations and temperatures. Here, ... More

Cristina BanBan translates Lorca's universe in ambitious 'Lorquianas' exhibition at Perrotin Paris PARIS.- Perrotin Paris is presenting Lorquianas, a solo exhibition of new large-scale paintings and works on paper by Cristina BanBan, the Spanish-born, New York-based artist’s fourth show with the gallery. Originally debuted in May 2025 as part of the artist’s first institutional exhibition at the Alhambra’s Museum of Fine Arts in Granada, Spain, the exhibition travels to Paris with works from the Granada presentation alongside new pieces created for this iteration. Lorquianas is BanBan’s most ambitious project to date. It was initiated through an invitation for the artist to engage with the life and legacy of Federico García Lorca in his hometown of Granada. The poet’s enduring presence in Andalusian cultural memory—and his emotionally charged, archetype-rich characters in works such as Yerma, The House of Bernarda Alba, and Blood Wedding—form the conceptual ...

Palais de Tokyo presents monumental exhibition of sculptor Melvin Edwards PARIS.- As part of the carte blanche exhibition program curated by Naomi Beckwith, Palais de Tokyo presents a major exhibition of Melvin Edwards, American sculptor who is a key figure in a counter- history of American art. Melvin Edwards is best known for his large-scale abstract sculptures, his site-specific barbed-wire installations, the incorporation and depiction of chains, and his Lynch Fragments series, assemblages of welded industrial objects and materials mounted on the wall, a body of work he has been developing since 1963. Set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement, which marked the beginnings of his artistic research, his work questions a post-slavery, American socio-economic history of memory through the use of these materials and their semantics. His sculptures are often intimate tributes and monuments, serving as portals that connect ... More
