YORK, PA.- In an auction series that so far has totaled $3.55 million, the Jeff Jacob action figure collection is already enshrined in pop-culture history as one the hobby’s most bankable of all time.

George E. Ohr (1857–1918), Glazed earthenware, c. 1898, Newark Museum of Art, 18.27
NEW YORK, NY.- Shaping Taste: Asian Ceramics and the Making of American Art & Design brings together leading curators and historians of decorative arts from four American museums to explore the enduring impact of Asian ceramics on American art and design from the nineteenth century to the present. Moderated by Joan B Mirviss, co-founder of Asia Week New York and long-time exhibitor in The Winter Show, the discussion first considers how nineteenth-century American collectors of Asian ceramics shaped Western understandings of the medium, and how classical Asian forms and surface ornament left a lasting imprint on American design—from Rookwood’s studio pottery to the refined metalwork of Gorham and Tiffany. Shifting to the mid-twentieth century and beyond, ... More
“Study of an Elderly Man,” c. 1645–1649, Rembrandt’s workshop (attributed). Deposited at Nivaagaard’s Painting Collection, where it can be seen in the permanent collection display from January 13, 2026.
NIVÅ.- A painting once celebrated as an authentic work by Rembrandt, later dismissed as a problematic copy and labeled a scholarly “dark horse,” is now returning to public view in Denmark—this time with renewed context and careful caution. Study of an Elderly Man (c. 1645–1649) is on display at Nivaagaards Malerisamling, where it has been placed on long-term deposit by its private owner. The museum presents the painting not as a rediscovered masterpiece, but as an intriguing work likely produced within Rembrandt’s workshop—offering visitors a rare glimpse into the complex reality of 17th-century artistic production. The painting depicts an elderly man seated slightly turned to the right, his gaze drifting past the viewer. His right hand is tucked discreetly into his waistcoat, a gesture associated in the period with dignity, authority, and moral restraint. The image is calm and restrained, yet psychologically ... More

COPENHAGEN.- How did Vilhelm Hammershøi create his masterpieces? SMK (National Gallery of Denmark) now presents the results of a multi-year research project which, through analyses of more than one hundred and thirty paintings, reveals Hammershøi’s working methods and techniques. The findings are now being made available to everyone on a digital platform: The Vilhelm Hammershøi Digital Archive (ViHDA). The Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864–1916) is known for his subtle, muted colour palette and remarkable ability to capture light and space. Hammershøi’s works have received great international acclaim, yet until now no in-depth study of the artist’s working methods has been undertaken. This has been remedied with the groundbreaking five-year interdisciplinary research project The Vilhelm Hammershøi Digital Archive at SMK, which has examined Hammershøi’s working methods and painting techniques in meticulous detail. SMK is now launching the ... More

LONDON.- High-rise living has a unique allure: the view, the distance. Penthouse Syndrome - Interiors Above the City looks at how altitude reshapes both architecture and the feeling of home. At height, rooms behave differently, scale recalibrates, and daily rhythms change. The book tours extraordinary residences, demonstrating how vertical living manifests globally, including: Shanghai, Québec City, São Paulo, New York City, Antwerp, Berlin, and Paris. The residences featured here show how designers balance structure and emotion in spaces detached from the ground. Together they reveal something essential about intimacy, perspective, and how we long to live today. Many of the featured spaces are the personal homes of the architects and designers themselves, completing a "perfect circle of creation and experience". This includes Canadian architect Jean Verville (BRUJ), designers Wen Shan Foo & Chung Kai Hsieh (AB House), and SPARK ... More
Marie Lucie Nessi, Horseman in Summer, Oil on canvas mounted on board, 10 2/3 x 13 3/4 in. (27 x 35 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- Nagas presents a selection of small and medium-format paintings by Marie Lucie Nessi (1910–1992), depicting landscapes and street scenes observed in different places. The works reflect her rigorous training under André Lhote, with an emphasis on compositional clarity and controlled color relationships. Marie Lucie Nessi (1910 – 1992) was born into a cosmopolitan family: her father, André Nessi, was a Swiss national, and her mother, Hélène Koehne, was born in Seesen, Germany. After completing her secondary education, Nessi entered a drawing school in 1926, at the age of sixteen, following two years of preparatory study focused on plaster casts of antique sculpture. Around 1928, she continued her training in the ateliers of Louis-François Biloul and André Lhote, enrolling at both the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts. Her period of study under André Lhote was particularly formative. Lhote’s teaching, grounded in compositional ... More
MADRID.- The Museo Reina Sofía has enhanced its Collections in 2025 with a total of 404 fresh acquisitions of works by Spanish artists such as Maruja Mallo, Soledad Sevilla, Juan Genovés, Isidoro Valcárcel Medina, Delhy Tejero, Isaac Díaz Pardo, Esther Boix, Salvador Dalí, Joan Fontcuberta, Victoria Civera, Darío Villalba, Manuela Ballester, Pablo Gargallo and Ángela de la Cruz and international artists that include Judy Chicago, Giuseppe Campuzano, Marta Minujín and emerging Palestine artist Lara Salous, to mention but a few. These additions continue of the policy of strengthening the representation of women artists, meaning that 58.6% of the money invested by Spain’s Ministry of Culture and the Museo is concentrated on acquiring artworks created by women. Thus, the Museo Reina Sofía Collections are essentially growing in three ways: purchases from the Museo Reina Sofía’s financial resources and artworks donated to the Museo, acquisitions via the ...

PARIS.- Gagosian announced Titus Kaphar’s first exhibition in Paris, The Fire This Time, opening at the rue de Ponthieu gallery on January 29, 2026. The exhibition features new paintings and hand-carved wood sculptures that extend the artist’s engagement with how history and representation impact collective memory. The exhibition title refers to James Baldwin’s civil-rights-era masterpiece, The Fire Next Time (1963), which charts the author’s struggle with—and ultimate rejection of—the racial politics of America. In relocating to Paris, Baldwin joined a community of American expatriate artists and thinkers, including Miles Davis, Nina Simone, and Richard Wright—figures who refused what Baldwin called “the American madness.” Jesmyn Ward’s anthology The Fire This Time (2017) carries those concerns into contemporary America, more ...

“To care is not about letting an object go but holding on to an object by letting oneself go, giving oneself over to something that is not one’s own.” ― Sara Ahmed, The Promise of Happiness. Duke University Press, 2010, p.
NEW YORK, NY.- Tender Revelation is exposure as echo, humility, and devotion circling each other in the aftermath. Sensitivity recoils, then returns; generosity stains what is left behind, residue that cannot be retrieved. The gap between experience and memento is forensic, raw, and unflinching. The body is not a passive medium.(1) Diamond’s inquiry is lived, not abstract; it unfolds through the shifting terrain of hotel rooms and her London home. Six works surface from these landscapes, each a remnant, a trace. Across media, Diamond collects the residue of encounters while testing the limits of labor and its aftermath. Diamond’s profession is a direct demonstration of the relational effects of intimacy and its radical potential, suggesting that transcendence arises from presence, shared breath, and emotional attunement, where transactional ...

For this second major exhibition in ten years–his retrospective at the Pompidou Center took place in 2014 -Martial Raysse displays canvases of striking density.

Franklin Parrasch Gallery revisits John Altoon's 1960s drawings NEW YORK, NY.- Franklin Parrasch Gallery will present John Altoon: Drawings, an exhibition featuring a selection of the artist’s works on paper from the 1960s. Altoon was consumed by drawing, creating frenetic lines that defined his compositions. Central to his practice, drawing was not only a primary mode of expression but the language through which he worked most fluently. In the final years of his life, and in the works he made up until his sudden death from a heart attack in 1969 at the age of 43, Altoon focused almost exclusively on drawing, using paper, airbrush, ink, and pastels. After studying art in Los Angeles, John Altoon relocated to New York from 1951 to 1955, where he engaged deeply with the Abstract Expressionist circle of the New York School—a formative experience he ultimately chose to leave behind. Following a year in Europe, where encounters ... More

Brittany Nelson's exhibition 'List Projects 34' opens at MIT List Visual Arts Center CAMBRIDGE, MASS.- Brittany Nelson’s practice moves between the speculative frontiers of science and science fiction to surface hidden histories, emotional residues, and institutional artifacts. Trained as a photographer, Nelson often reimagines analog chemical techniques, such as mordançage, bromoil, and tintype, while drawing on extensive archival research. The imagery and language of space exploration have been touchstones for Nelson as she considers how contact—whether human or extraterrestrial—is pursued, imagined, or idealized. In recent projects, Nelson draws out the psychological dimensions of science fiction and literature, where projection operates not only as imagining speculative futures but also as idealization or infatuation—means of externalizing memory, desire, estrangement, and longing. Nelson’s upcoming List Projects exhibition ... More

On a day like today, French artist Berthe Morisot was born
January 14, 1841. Berthe Marie Pauline Morisot (14 January 1841 - 2 March 1895) was a French painter, printmaker and a member of the circle of painters in Paris who became known as the Impressionists. In 1864, Morisot exhibited for the first time in the highly esteemed Salon de Paris, listed as a student of Joseph Guichard and Achille-Francois Oudinot. Her work was selected for exhibition in six subsequent Salons until, in 1874, she joined the "rejected" Impressionists in the first of their own exhibitions (15 April – 15 May 1874), which included Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley. In this image: Berthe Morisot, Portrait de Mme Morisot et de sa fille Mme Pontillon ou La lecture (The Mother and Sister of the Artist – Marie-Joséphine & Edma) 1869/70.
