Howard’s passion for French Academic art was unmatched. Over the course of his career, he became the world’s leading authority on the works of Antoine Blanchard, Émile Munier, Daniel Ridgway Knight, and Julien Dupré, authoring catalogues raisonnés and contributing significant scholarship to the field.
NEW YORK, NY.- Howard L. Rehs, President of Rehs Galleries, Inc., and one of the most respected authorities on 19th- and early 20th-century French academic art, passed away on November 19, 2025, at the age of 66 following a year long battle with ALS. Born on July 1, 1959, Howard grew up surrounded by a deep appreciation for art and the business that would later define his life. He graduated from New York University with a degree in Art History, a decision that shaped not only his career but the direction of the gallery his family had built. In 1981, Howard joined the family business, and quickly became a driving force behind its evolution. He became President and began shaping the gallery into what it is recognized as today, one of New York’s most distinguished dealers of 19th- and early 20th-century European academic and realist paintings. His curatorial vision, scholarship, market insight, and commitment to transparency earned him an internatio ... More

HONG KONG.- David Zwirner is presenting Somewhere better than this place / Nowhere better than this place, the first exhibition of Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s (1957–1996) work in Hong Kong. Gonzalez-Torres was one of the most significant artists to emerge in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In its reduced formal vocabulary, conceptual rigor, and evocative use of everyday materials, his work resonates with meaning that is at once specific and mutable, rigorous and generous, poetic and political. Featuring examples from key bodies of work by the artist, this presentation also extends beyond the gallery into the city, and seeks to draw out the deep resonances between Gonzalez-Torres’s practice and the city’s complex urban fabric, historical trajectory, and evolving identity. Hong Kong—a place shaped by histories of passage and transformation—mirrors many of the complexities the artist explored throughout his work, which sought to question and collapse dualities such as belong ...

ROME.- The Museum of Rome at Palazzo Braschi will open one of its most ambitious cultural projects in recent years: a sweeping exhibition devoted entirely to the city’s historic gardens, some of the most enchanting and least understood elements of Rome’s artistic heritage. Villas and Gardens of Rome: A Crown of Delights will run from November 21, 2025 to April 12, 2026, offering visitors a rare look at how these green sanctuaries evolved in art from the Renaissance to the mid-twentieth century. Promoted by Roma Capitale and the Capitoline Superintendency for Cultural Heritage, the exhibition is part of a broader initiative to rethink and revive the legacy of Rome’s historic gardens—many of which have been damaged, transformed, or lost as the city expanded. Curators Alberta Campitelli, Alessandro Cremona, Federica Pirani, and Sandro Santolini have assembled nearly 190 works—drawings, paintings, prints, manuscripts, and rare documents—many of them little ...

Richard Serra, Hitchcock III, 2024. Paintstik and silica. Edition of 56, 101,6 x 86,4 cm (40 x 34 1/16 in).
PARIS.- The last prints produced by Richard Serra, the result of more than forty years of collaboration with the Gemini G.E.L. workshop in Los Angeles, embody the culmination of long periods of research and experimentation in printmaking through a radical and singular practice that has profoundly shaped the history of contemporary print. For more than 35 years, Galerie Lelong has regularly presented Serra’s work. Two series are brought together in this new exhibition: “Notebook Drawings” (2023) and “Hitchcock” (2024). The Hitchcock series extends Serra’s exploration of the materiality of black. Produced without a press, these works are the result of an intense manual process, in which a dense mixture of black pigment, linseed oil, melted wax, and silica is directly applied to paper. Layer upon layer, this material creates surfaces of striking intensity, almost sculptural in presence. The black, omnipresent, absorbs and reflects light, generating an ... More
LONDON.- ‘Prophetic Land’ is a poetic response to the shifting nature of the complex landscape and environment that artist- makers Max Bainbridge and Abigail Booth encountered in Braemar, Scotland, during their month-long residency with Make Hauser & Wirth last year. Immersed in the geological formations of the Cairngorms, they were struck by an increased ability to read the land and look beyond the mask of the picturesque and instead toward the environmental collapse of its ecosystems. Their works in ‘Prophetic Land’ are a reflection of the paradoxical role humans have had in tipping those ecological balances and the importance of looking to new ways of turning the tide of environmental collapse. The exhibition’s title is a direct reference to the recorded prophecies of the Brahan Seer, a highlander in the 1600s who supposedly had second sight. Many of his prophecies are believed to have ...

Star Wars Glasslite Vlix AFA 60 Loose (Glasslite, 1988).
DALLAS, TX.- If the name “Vlix” or the phrase “double-telescoping lightsaber” mean anything to you, there will be a great disturbance in the Force if you miss the back-to-back Star Wars Movie Poster Signature® Auction: The Doug Hott Collection and Doug Hott Star Wars Collection Action Figures & Toys Signature® Extended Bidding Auction Dec. 6–7 at Heritage Auctions.

Karl Wirsum, Untitled (Study for the painting "Miss Tree"), 1966, ink on paper, 14 x 11 inches.
NEW YORK, NY.- Derek Eller Gallery is presenting a selection of works on paper from the 1960s by Chicago artist Karl Wirsum (1939-2021). Wirsum’s sketchbook drawings from this era provide the origins of his visual language and incorporate studies for important Hairy Who? era paintings. For Wirsum, drawing has always been central to his creative practice, an outlet for spontaneity as well as a means of working through an idea in terms of both content and form. Through repeated iterations, sometimes spaced over the course of years, lines are meticulously perfected, color is finely tuned, and content evolves. For example, his Untitled (Study for Gargoyle Gargle Oil), 1967, features a humanoid figure in profile, his scaly face and bulging eyes carefully colored and patterned. This is one of several versions of this theme, and over time, humanoid slowly morphs into reptile and back to humanoid, as the final painting (currently on view in ... More

Museum Abteiberg enters final phase of Fluxus "Field Test" series with Saito-Ay-O exhibition MÖNCHENGLADBACH.- With Field Test #5: Saito – Ay-O, the series that has presented the Fluxus holdings of Andersch Collection/Archive in alphabetical order since 2021, entered its final phase on November 20, 2025.

Arthur Jafa curates bold new MoMA exhibition exploring paradigm shifts in art and Black visual culture NEW YORK, NY.- The Museum of Modern Art announces Artist’s Choice: Arthur Jafa—Less Is Morbid, an exhibition featuring over 80 works from MoMA’s collection selected by artist and filmmaker Arthur Jafa (b. 1960). On view from November 19, 2025, through July 5, 2026, the exhibition reflects Jafa’s distinctive approach to reexamining history, visual art, and popular culture. As an artist, Jafa’s work crisscrosses the worlds of art, film, and music, consistently tapping into the emotional power of association in the collages that make up his signature binders of clippings and the montages of his films and videos. Through his selections, Jafa reflects on works that have shifted the paradigm of modern art—in particular in its relationship to Blackness, Black makers, and Black life. Artist’s Choice: Arthur Jafa—Less Is Morbid is organized by Arthur Jafa, with Thomas Lax, ... More

Anna Zorina Gallery presents "Distant Light," Yongjae Kim's meditative urban dreamscapes NEW YORK, NY.- Anna Zorina Gallery is presenting the Yongjae Kim solo exhibition, Distant Light. Kim paints quiet urban scenes that hover between memory and observation. Streets, rooms, and cityscapes are suspended in time and rendered with cinematic precision. Muted color palettes and sparse settings create an atmosphere of silence and introspection, where the ordinary acquires an air of mystery. Kim’s dreamlike scenes feel uncannily familiar, appearing as the places we pass countless times yet seldom stop to truly see. He draws the viewer into the overlooked moments, transforming quotidian surroundings into meditative spaces of wonder. Each painting invites a slowing of perception, revealing poetic beauty and meaning in the unnoticed corners of daily life. Drawing from his experiences with transience and the persistent threat of vision loss, Kim’s work reflects ... More
Escher in The Palace debuts first Dutch exhibition of "British Escher" Anne Desmet THE HAGUE.- A first for Escher in The Palace: the contemporary work of the “British Escher” Anne Desmet is on display in the Netherlands for the first time, alongside that of her great inspiration, M.C. Escher. At a young age, Desmet became fascinated by themes such as transformation and architecture. In her room hung a poster of M.C. Escher's Day and Night, in which black and white birds fly over a Dutch landscape and gradually transform into that landscape in the centre. Years later, she learned etching, woodcutting, engraving, screen printing and lithography at the University of Oxford’s Ruskin School of Art. Winning the Lithography Prize from the Printmakers Council in London at the age of 23, followed by a Rome Scholarship, laid the foundation for her illustrious career. Like Escher, she is amazed by the world around her, and both translate this inspiration ... More
Marina Rheingantz unveils atmospheric new works at ICA Milano MILAN.- In her paintings, Marina Rheingantz expresses herself through color and gesture, allowing shifting spaces and atmospheres to emerge from the surface of the canvas. Thick patches of oil paint, with their tactile quality, evoke the weave of fabric and the texture of landscape. Since her beginnings in 2005, the artist has stripped her compositions of any representational traces, preserving the landscape only as structural framework for abstract horizons and imagined depths. For nearly a decade, Rheingantz has developed a body of textile works, initially through embroidery and, more recently, though intricately woven jacquard, revealing strong analogies between her pictorial and textile techniques. In both, she employs a rhythmic gesture that, on her canvases, translates into surfaces animated by lines and patches of color acting as volumes and masses. ... More

On a day like today, Italian artist Giorgio de Chirico died
November 20, 1978. Giuseppe Maria Alberto Giorgio de Chirico (10 July 1888 - 20 November 1978) was an Italian artist and writer born in Greece. In the years before World War I, he founded the scuola metafisica art movement, which profoundly influenced the surrealists. His best-known works often feature Roman arcades, long shadows, mannequins, trains, and illogical perspective. His imagery reflects his affinity for the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer and of Friedrich Nietzsche, and for the mythology of his birthplace. In this image: View from the De Chirico and the Theatre exhibition. Photo: Serlachius, Sampo Linkoneva.
