Exhibition installation for "Shared Vision" at Valerie Goodman Gallery. Photo credit: Antoine Bootz.
NEW YORK, NY.- For Valerie Goodman, the act of discovering and nurturing artists is the essence of being a gallerist. “For me, discovering and nurturing artists is the only true reason to have a gallery,” she says. “It’s what motivates me — to create a bridge between the artist’s creative studio and the world where their work can live and find meaning.” At the heart of this vision lies Goodman’s long-standing collaboration with Jacques Jarrige, the celebrated French artist whose hand-crafted furniture, lighting, and sculpture form the centerpiece of the gallery’s upcoming exhibition, A Shared Vision: 15 Years of Jacques Jarrige, on view starting October 15 through December 15, 2025. “This approach has worked beautifully with Jacques Jarrige over the years,” Goodman notes. “It continues to guide my new relationships.” Since founding her eponymous gallery fifteen years ago, ...

PARIS.- Christie's announce a landmark offering in its upcoming Handbags & Accessories live auction in Paris on 6 November: an extraordinary piece of Hermès history – the Haut à Courroies (HAC) bag once owned by Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg. This exceptional bag, a symbol of craftsmanship, rarity, and artistry, was a beloved travel companion of the legendary couple. Frequently photographed during family holidays alongside Jane Birkin, Gainsbourg was often seen carrying his signature HAC bag. Created before the iconic Birkin bag, this HAC embodies the spirit of the 1970s – a decade defined by freedom, music, rebellion, and effortless elegance. The sale of this historic Hermès piece marks the return of live handbag auctions at Christie's Paris after three years, and pays tribute to the brand's rich heritage and its enduring connection to cultural icons. Founded in 1837, Hermès began as a maker of harnesses and saddles. In 1892, the Maison introduced its first bag – the Haut à ... More
Francis Cotes, R.A. (British, 1726-1770), ‘Portrait of Jane Knight,’ oil on canvas. Estimate $6,000-$8,000.
SAVANNAH, GA.- It has been said that “genius loves company,” and that could easily be the title of Everard’s October 28-30 Southern Estates & Collections Auction. From Picasso to Grandma Moses to modern-day Navajo painter Emmi Whitehorse and comic art master Charles Schulz, a who’s who of artistic genius is seen throughout the widely-varied three-day event. Highlights include a large collection of Inuit and Native arts from the Pacific Northwest and Southwest, Russian paintings, antique American furniture, contemporary art glass sculpture, and Chinese embroideries. The entire third day is devoted to superlative fine jewelry, watches, fashion and luxury goods. A mixed-media painting by Native American painter and printmaker Emmi Whitehorse (b. 1957) titled Shallow River (1295) leads the fine art section with an estimate of $30,000-$50,000. Whitehorse is a member of the Navajo Nation and lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her expressive works are often inspired by the unique l ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Divine Egypt at The Metropolitan Museum of Art—the first major exhibition of Egyptian art at the Museum in over a decade—explores how images of gods in ancient Egypt were experienced not merely as spiritual depictions in temples, shrines, and tombs but were the instruments that brought the gods to life for daily worship, offering ancient Egyptians a vital connection between the human and divine worlds. The exhibition brings together over 200 spectacular works of art to examine the imagery associated with the most important deities in ancient Egypt’s complex and always-expanding constellation of gods. Over more than 3,000 years, the Egyptian people’s belief system grew to include more than 1,500 gods with many overlapping forms and traits. Divine Egypt features impressive works of art, ranging from monumental statues to small elegant figurines in gleaming gold and silver and brilliant blue faience, that ... More
PARIS.- Alongside the exhibition Philip Guston. The Irony of History, the Musée national Picasso-Paris is devoting an exhibition to American artist Raymond Pettibon, with the support of David Zwirner Gallery. Through seventy drawings and around ten fanzines, the exhibition, spanning five decades, explores the ironic and unsettling universe of this major contemporary artist. A self-taught artist born in 1957 in Tucson, Arizona, Raymond Pettibon emerged in the late 1970s, designing album covers and ephemera for the punk rock band Black Flag, formed in Hermosa Beach, California. He also began exhibiting and self-publishing his early drawings, zines, and artist’s books, which incorporated the DIY aesthetic of underground comics, flyers, and fanzines characteristic of the subculture at the time. Pettibon began exhibiting widely in the 1990s. Since that time, he has gained widespread recognition for work that draws from a wide range of sources, including ... More
Francisco de Goya (1746–1828), Portrait of The Young Duke of Alba. Oil on canvas, 52.5 x 42.7 cm. Estimate €400,000 – 600,000.
VIENNA.- Dorotheum`s Old Masters auction on 23 October 2025 features an important selection of 17th century Spanish still life paintings, landscapes, capricci and vedute, as well as religious paintings and portraiture. One of the highlights of the sale is a portrait by Francisco de Goya of The Young Duke of Alba, from one of Spain’s leading noble families, painted in c.1783. This portrait by the great Spanish master demonstrates his mastery of the genre which is evident in his naturalistic style and his nuanced observation of character. It is the portrayal of the personality and the realistic presence of the sitter displayed in this painting that marks the difference between traditional aristocratic portraiture and a new sense of psychological realism that is associated with Goya’s work. The colour of the silk coat, a mixture of brown and violet, also known as “flea colour” was fashionable at the time. Use of the colour in depictions of courtly dress signals the social prest ... More
LONDON.- Gagosian presents Says I, to Myself, Says I, Ed Ruscha’s first exhibition dedicated to his paintings on unprimed linen. On view at the Davies Street gallery in London from October 14 to December 19, it coincides with Talking Doorways, an exhibition at Gagosian’s rue de Castiglione gallery in Paris, which is on view from October 22 to December 3. Ruscha began making paintings on raw linen in the early 1990s, although this body of work has never before been the focus of an exhibition. The ten new works in this format presented in London establish visual and textural contrasts between the painted words and images and their supports, emphasizing their definition and potential. Rendered in a serif typeface and mostly in white, many of the words are underlined with tapering black shapes that accentuate them and suggest horizons and cast shadows within otherwise flat compositions, while some canvases include additional painted passages and symbols. Since the 1960s, Ruscha has consis ... More
The exhibition proposes appropriating a central concern of "Shifting the Silence": reflecting on the difficulty of fully verbalizing works of visual art and making them tangible.
MUNICH.- "Shifting the Silence" is the title of Etel Adnan's last book, published in 2021. The German translation "Die Stille verschieben" was published posthumously in 2022. Recognizably writing at the end of her life, Etel Adnan offers melancholy, poetic, and very personal thoughts on major themes of life. Short prose pieces, everyday observations, feelings, anecdotes, and memories define the non-linear narrative. Her intense confrontation with her own death creates a serious, philosophical depth. At the same time, however, Etel Adnan celebrates the beauty of life, which can be interpreted as a political defense against social silencing. It is the text of a painter whose artistic career began as a writer and philosopher. One room of the exhibition is therefore dedicated to her paintings. The exhibition proposes appropriating a central concern of "Shifting the Silence": reflecting on the difficulty of fully verbalizing works of visual art and making them tangible. Linguization—i.e. the tr ... More
OSLO.- Norway’s National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design announced its fourth presentation of works selected from The Fredriksen Family Collection. Fragmentation is a phenomenon that some might say, defines our time. Fragmentationis used to describe everything from political polarization and fractured communities to algorithms that distract our attention. At the same time, fragmentation is a vital strategy in today’s art, with origins in the collages and montages of the avant-garde. The exhibition features works by Firelei Báez, Louise Bourgeois, Mark Bradford, Roni Horn, Suzanne Jackson, Simone Leigh, Wangechi Mutu, Maja Ruznic, Shahzia Sikander, Sarah Sze, and TARWUK. Bringing together works from The Fredriksen Family Collection, this exhibition examines fragmentation as both theme and technique in global contemporary art The artists break up something whole and then reassemble the fragments to create new forms. Different techniques are used to create these works, such as c ... More

LONDON.- Pace announces É preciso não ter medo de criar, the first solo exhibition in the UK by São Paulo-based artist Sonia Gomes, on view at its gallery in London from October 14 to November 15. Curated by Paulo Miyada, the exhibition will feature all-new works, including the artist’s signature pendants and torsions, alongside paintings and new sculptural explorations in bronze. This presentation coincides with the publication of Gomes’s new catalogue, Assombrar o mundo com Beleza (I Haunt the World with Beauty), which will be available to purchase at the gallery. One of Brazil’s foremost contemporary artists, Gomes combines second-hand textiles with everyday materials such as birdcages, driftwood, and wire to create abstract sculptures that reclaim traditions rooted in Afro-diasporic experiences and craft modes of artmaking from the margins of history. In 2015, she was the only Brazilian artist invited by the late curator ... More
ESPOO.- Nordic nature, the forest in particular, is a central inspiration for artist Antti Laitinen (b.1975), who lives and works in Somero. His previous projects include one in which he attempted to move the lake with buckets, and another in which he built himself an island. For this piece, woody debris gathered from forests and logging areas in southern Finland – brushwood, uprooted stumps and broken branches – are assembled into 28 trees which now rise up from the concrete floor at EMMA. In the gallery, the trees form an artificial forest, animated by mechanical machinery, filling the space with sound and motion. Moving and chiming in the space, the trees appear both familiar and strangely alien, prompting viewers to reflect on humanity’s ability and means to shape nature. Views of the local forest from the large windows next to the gallery create a tension between natural landscape outside and the artificial one inside the ... More

Máret Ánne Sara transforms Tate Turbine Hall with monumental reindeer hide sculpture LONDON.- Tate Modern today unveils a monumental new sculptural installation by Sámi artist Máret Ánne Sara. Sara makes sculptures and installations from materials which surround and sustain her community in Sápmi, the territory of the Indigenous Sámi people spanning Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. For her first major work in the UK, the artist draws on her lived experience as member of a reindeer herding family to highlight ecological issues impacting Sámi life. Combining hides and bones derived from traditional reindeer herding practices with wood, industrial materials, sound and scent, Hyundai Commission: Máret Ánne Sara: Goavve-Geabbil is an immersive work honouring the reciprocal relationship between the Sámi people, the reindeer, and the land. Responding to the history of Tate Modern’s site as a former oil and coal power station, Sara invites visitors ... More

Eva Helene Pade lights up Thaddaeus Ropac with monumental canvases of collective chaos LONDON.- Thaddaeus Ropac London presents Eva Helene Pade’s first solo exhibition in the UK. Following the Danish-born, Paris-based artist’s institutional debut at ARKEN Museum of Contemporary Art in Denmark earlier this year, the exhibition, titled Søgelys, brings together a significant new group of paintings in which Pade continues to explore the violent and seductive forces that exist between bodies in space. Her monumental and small-scale canvases are suspended on floor-to-ceiling metal posts, set away from the walls to create dynamic spatial configurations. Much like choreography, ‘it forces people to move within them,’ she says, ‘but also to connect the paintings together. I create them together, like an ensemble; they talk together.’ The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue, including an essay by Hendrik Folkerts, Curator of International Contemporary ...

Pushkin House opens a solo show by Jitish Kallat to coincide with Frieze London 2025 LONDON.- Where do we exist when the notion of space itself becomes contingent? How do we situate ourselves when place—once anchored in land, history, and belonging—is rendered provisional and suspended? Jitish Kallat (b. 1974, Mumbai) reimagines Pushkin House as a planetary “control room,” where signals crisscross skyward and inward. Through sustained, research-based inquiry, his practice traverses space and time, the earthly and the cosmic, borders and identities. This gesture evokes the universalist and speculative spirit of Russian Cosmism, where scientific thought, spiritual inquiry, and visions of humanity’s place in the cosmos converge. Curated by Denis Maksimov and grounded in Pushkin House’s Discourse Programme, the exhibition offers nuanced perspectives on the region’s political and historical legacies by setting a constellation ...

Exhibition juxtaposes hurricane ruins and Nicaraguan textiles at Bartha Contemporary LONDON.- Bartha Contemporary is presenting Threads of Echoes, an exhibition juxtaposing works by Clay Ketter (b. 1961) and Felipe Mujica (b. 1974), on view from September 11 to October 21, 2025. (The exhibition was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances). The exhibition highlights each artist’s collaborative approach and sensitivity to specific local conditions, whether on the hurricane-stricken Gulf Coast of America or Isla Mancarrón in Nicaragua. Swedish-American artist Clay Ketter showcases two photographic works, Bayview 4b and Whispering Pines Drive, from his acclaimed Gulf Coast Slab series. Created in collaboration with photographer Nils Bergendal, these large-scale photographs capture the bare foundations of homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Teetering between found-object aesthetics and meticulously structured compositions, Ketter’s ... More
Groundbreaking Phillippe Druillet cover of Métal Hurlant No. 2 headlines Heritage's Ínternational Comic Art Auction DALLAS, TX.- If the premiere issue of Métal Hurlant in December 1974 signaled a seismic shift in the landscape of graphic storytelling, Issue No. 2 confirmed the magazine's bold new vision for science-fiction. The cover for that issue is a visual manifesto from the standard-bearer of this new wave, Phillippe Druillet. With its impossible architectures and symmetrical, colossal figures evoking divine machine idols, it epitomized Druillet's style and marked a turning point in European graphic sci-fi. This cornerstone of the magazine that would be exported to the United States under the name Heavy Metal has been extensively reproduced. More than an illustration, it is a declaration of a new aesthetic and editorial intent. The original image, produced ... More

That result, coupled with the $11,629,298 GACC U.S. Currency Signature® Auction Oct. 7-10, amounted to a total of $27,260,967 in Heritage’s numismatic events held in conjunction with the Great American Coin and Collectibles Show that was held Sept. 23-27 at the Donald E.

Joe Ray's first solo UK show documents waning landscapes of Florida and the Texas border LONDON.- For his first solo exhibition outside of the United States and his debut at Modern Art, Christopher Culver presents a new series of drawings based on the backwaters of Northern Florida and the borderlands of Texas, two psychically and politically charged regions afflicted by economic diminishment and visible disrepair. Titled Florida and Texas, the exhibition builds on Culver’s ongoing study of waning landscapes and the spectral architecture of postindustrial cities, documenting the artist’s passage through the disquieting edges of the American South. Sourced from his own photographs, the drawings appear menacing and affective, bearing traces of invisible lives. They emerge through a process of accumulation and subtraction. Layers of charcoal and pastel leave the paper with a saturated, ashy finish redolent of film grain. We encounter a twilight world enveloped ... More

On a day like today, American photographer Dody Weston Thompson died
October 14, 2012. Dody Weston Thompson (April 11, 1923 - October 14, 2012) was a 20th-century American photographer and chronicler of the history and craft of photography. She learned the art in 1947 and developed her own expression of “straight” or realistic photography, the style that emerged in Northern California in the 1930s.
