MILFORD, CONN.- Shannon’s Fine Art Auctioneers’ annual Fall Fine Art Auction held October 30th included 159 lots of quality paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture. The auction totaled $2.1 million and 82 percent of all lots sold.

All prices quoted include the buyer’s premium. Sandra Germain, owner at Shannon’s, commented, “We have worked hard to foster ... More
Mosasaurs reigned as the undisputed apex predators of their marine realm, while dinosaurs commanded the terrestrial world.
DALLAS, TX.- A pair of spectacular fossils — one of an extinct marine reptile that measures more than 22 feet long (6.7 meters) and the other an early Jurassic crocodile — will become massive additions to their new collections when they are sold as part of Heritage’s Property of a Distinguished Southern California Collector Nature & Science Signature® Auction Dec. 2. “This is an exceptional event, with every lot from the same consignor,” says Craig Kissick, Heritage’s Vice President of Nature & Science. “Collections like this, with this level of both quality and variety, rarely reach the collecting market. From fossils to meteorites, and minerals to lapidary arts, this auction has treasures that will appeal to collectors of all kinds.” The Mosasaur Fossil Skeleton, from what is now Kansas, is a magnificent specimen from the Cretaceous Period of a powerful reptile that was the undisputed apex predator of its marine realm while dinosaurs dominated on land. These powerful reptiles, with their elongate ... More
King Kong (RKO, R-1938). Very Fine- on Linen. One Sheet (27.25" X 41").
DALLAS, TX.- Robert Schenk had parts in various theatrical productions — including a key role in Life With Father, which for 25 years held the record as the longest-running Broadway show. Ultimately, he decided the stage was not for him, but through his connections in the entertainment world, he was able to put together an astounding collection of original movie posters, autographs, publicity photos and other memorabilia. The son of two professional musicians who hosted salon concerts in their Upper West Side brownstone, Schenk had a lifelong appreciation of music and the arts, a passion later shared by his wife, Carla. They lived near Lincoln Center but kept the family home, renting rooms at charitable rates to artists, curators and music students. The brownstone also held their collections of autographs, opera recordings, librettos, musical scores, toys and other memorabilia. When the last tenant moved out in 2019, a trove of almost-forgotten vintage movie posters was discovered. Heritage Au ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Martos Gallery is presenting Keith Haring’s FDR Drive mural, with fourteen of the thirty panels which composed the original work, created on site in the fall of 1984, spanning some 300 feet alongside the highway and the East River, on view for nearly a year. The sheet metal panels on which the artist painted were already in place, hung about 4 1/2 feet off the ground, which their installation for this exhibition follows. The FDR mural, now more than forty years later, remains one of the artists’s major public works. The exhibition is accompanied by an essay by critic and curator Bob Nickas. That whispered hiss when paint sprays from an aerosol can’s nozzle, paint on an atomic level, accompanied by its distinctive pssssst, a finger poised, held in place assuring a steady stream, the arm directing a fluid line as an extension of the body in motion. For viewers, moving past the panels comprising one of Keith Haring’s major works, the frieze-like mural he created on sit ... More
Sono Osato, Diluvia 7, 2025 Tinted rabbit-skin glue ground and oil on panel, 36 x 36 inches.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Paul Thiebaud Gallery announced the opening of Evolution of an Idea: Diluvia to Midden, an exhibition of new and recent paintings by Sono Osato, on Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 3 to 5pm, with an artist talk at 3:30pm. On view will be seven paintings and five drawings selected from Osato’s Diluvia and Midden Series. Variously rendered in oil, tinted rabbit skin glue, watercolor, gouache, and dry pigments, Osato’s works explore the intersections of language, technology, and archeological time through abstract painting. The exhibition will be on view through January 10, 2026. Inspired by the impact of eroding topographies on the evolution of visual iconography, and the need to disinter them to reveal histories, Sono Osato’s exhibition charts the latest chapter in her thinking about our technological past and future. In previous series, Osato began mining and recontextualizing the gears, sprockets, and mechanical parts of defunct machines into a visual language for abstraction by ... More

PARIS.- Peter Freeman, Inc. opened an exhibition of new works by Thomas Schütte. It is his first solo exhibition in Paris since La Monnaie de Paris in 2019 and his first with the Parisian gallery since 2012. Thomas Schütte’s multifaceted oeuvre offers a profound reflection on themes of cultural memory, existential struggle, and the fraught power of monuments and memorials. Working in a variety of mediums, including sculpture, architecture, printmaking, and drawing, Schütte constructs real and invented forms that range from fantastical creatures and towering abstractions of humanoids to imposing busts of famous, forgotten, or anonymous figures. His otherworldly beings, vividly colored ceramics, and modelled clay figurines belie the artist’s characteristic skepticism and dark humor. This exhibition features new figurative sculptures including the bronze Mother Earth (2024/2025), a larger version of which is currently on display at the Punta della Dogana in Venice. Evoking a mythical qu ... More

TUCSON, AZ.- The Museum of Contemporary Art-Tucson, MOCA Tucson presents Tlazohuelmanaz (Offering of Love), a solo exhibition comprised of newly commissioned artworks by artist Fernando Palma Rodríguez, on view from November 14, 2025, through March 15, 2026, in the museum’s Great Hall. Tlazohuelmanaz is Palma Rodríguez’s first museum exhibition presented in the context of the Mexico-United States borderlands. Rooted in his community of Milpa Alta, Mexico, Palma Rodríguez’s practice combines art, nature, and technology to reflect on environmental care, water, climate, and the preservation of Indigenous language and knowledge. Through Tlazohuelmanaz, he brings these ongoing concerns into dialogue with the Sonoran Desert, creating a new body of work inspired by the region’s shared cultural and ecological realities. At MOCA, his “offering of love” arrives at a time of intensified border conflict, and while critical of the nationalist and colonial projects at work, the artist’s focus remains on friendsh ... More
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF.- Gagosian is presenting if you came this way, an exhibition of new works by Edmund de Waal, on view at the gallery’s Beverly Hills location. The works in if you came this way consist of de Waal’s porcelain vessels, lyrically arranged in vitrines alongside glimpses of other materials, including gold, silver, lead, marble, aluminum, alabaster, and Kilkenny stone. These installations act as repositories of memory, archives, and language. They are intended to invite slow looking and contemplation. In the series if you came this way (2025), de Waal has for the first time displayed his vessels in gilded vitrines, where gold leaf has been applied to oak using a technique that is thousands of years old. Many combine the radiant aura of gold with brushed-on liquid porcelain, creating a new materiality that evinces porcelain’s historical designation as “white gold.” These works respond to devotional images by Duccio, Giotto, and other Proto-Renaissance artists. The housin ... More
Benjamin Tallmadge’s orderly book, leatherbound notebook, New York, July-August 1776
MS226, Gift of Samuel Latham Mitchell Barlow.
NEW YORK, NY.- Fraunces Tavern Museum’s permanent collection holds numerous treasures of the American Revolutionary era that bring the stories of those who helped achieve American Independence to life. The Museum showcases a carefully curated selection of those treasures in its newest exhibition, Path to Liberty: Orders, Discipline and Daily Life, in the Adeline Moses Loeb Gallery. This exhibition includes orderly books that detail how officers used daily orders to train, manage, and discipline soldiers, turning ordinary colonists into a trained force capable of challenging the world’s most powerful army. Orderly books were typically maintained by officers of a military unit. Entries included directives from Congress, correspondence between officers, and reports on soldiers’ behavior. They also contained instructions on everything from marching drills and guard duty to cleanliness, church attendance, and bans on drinking and swearing. Officers were expected to read these orders aloud ... More
Xaviera Simmons, Figure Eleven, 2025, bronze. Courtesy of the artist and David Castillo.
DAYTON, OH.- The Contemporary Dayton is presenting Xaviera Simmons: Figure Eleven, a major solo exhibition that brings together recent works in photography, painting, video, and the world premiere of a new body of bronze sculptures by one of the most bold and visionary artists of our time. The exhibition is on view November 14, 2025 through January 24, 2026, at The Contemporary Dayton, located in the historic Dayton Arcade. Simmons’ practice is deeply rooted in art history, both through deliberate assertion and continuous engagement, drawing on references that span from antiquity and the American landscape to contemporary media. Her work unfolds through a cinematic sensibility where narrative, movement, and stillness intersect. This is evident in her acclaimed photographic series such as American Book Covers and Sundown, in her monumental text paintings, and now in this new body of bronze sculptures. Performance, choreography, and the sensual are integral to Simmons’ artistic language. In this rece ... More
Rae-Yen Song, •~TUA~• 大眼 •~MAK~• (abyss), 2025. Ink and papa’s pen on papa’s paper, 280 x 385mm.
GLASGOW.- Rae-Yen Song has transformed Tramway’s vast gallery space into a sub-aquatic world shaped according to the ancestral logics of the Song family, which serves simultaneously as spectacle, memorial and refuge. The exhibition immerses visitors in a phantasmagoric watery abyss populated by ancestral characters, and includes an array of newly-commissioned artworks in ceramic, glass, costume, sound, light and moving image. These artworks are entangled within the body of an immense microbeast, an ethereal creature stretching across the gallery space, drawn from the artist’s heritage and family mythology. Song sees this creature as an embodiment of tua mak 大眼 ( “big eyes” in the Teochew dialect) - a relative, known only through familial memories and myths, who drowned at sea aged thirteen, in 1950s Singapore. The artist imagines a body being eaten and excreted by innumerable others in this watery grave; tua mak becomes a dispersed lifeform, cycling eternally in a process of contin ... More

Following her selection as one of the Foam Talents 2021, Benjida returns to Foam with an extended presentation of her acclaimed photographic series, offering an intimate portrayal of Atlanta’s strip club scene. Focusing on Magic City, one of Atlanta’s most influential strip clubs and a cultural epicentre of hip-hop, Benjida examines the social, visual, and economic structures that shape this ecosystem from within.

Built on years of trust and collaboration, Benjida’s work offers an intimate glimpse into a world rarely seen, honouring the strong intergenerational networks and the multifaceted realities of these women’s lives within Atlanta’s influential hip-hop culture. Deliberately av ... More
Toronto collectors Carol and Morton Rapp donate more than 400 artworks to AGO TORONTO.- Today the Art Gallery of Ontario announced an extraordinary gift of modern and contemporary art from the late Carol and Morton Rapp. Enthusiastic and energetic patrons of the arts for more than seven decades, their intuitive approach to collecting drew them towards printmakers and photographers whose approach pushed the medium forward. Featuring more than 450 works by 203 artists, this gift — which includes a number of portfolios — will significantly bolster the AGO’s Prints and Drawings Collection, enabling it to tell the full story of the medium's renaissance in the late 1960s and 1970s and its ongoing evolution throughout the early decades of the 21st century.

Since 1966, the Rapp’s have generously donated 474 works to the AGO, and this latest gift is further proof of their enduring commitment to t ... More
Marc Selwyn Fine Art presents a stark new still-life series by Salomón Huerta LOS ANGELES, CA.- Marc Selwyn Fine Art announces Unspoken Ritual, an exhibition of new paintings by Los Angeles–based artist Salomón Huerta, on view at the gallery's Camden Annex. Long recognized for his psychologically charged portraits and meditations on identity and domestic space, Huerta turns to still life in this latest body of work. Spare table-top elements—a piece of fruit, a glass of milk, a sandwich—share space with the quiet, insistent presence of a gun. In this intimate shift in genre, Huerta brings the personal and the political into subtle but potent dialogue. Huerta first came to prominence in the 1990s with enigmatic, faceless portraits and stark depictions of Los Angeles houses, works that explored how identity, class, and environment shape perception. In Unspoken Ritual, the artist turns inward, drawing directly from his childhood in Ramona Gardens, one of East Los Angeles’ most violent housing projects. Each night, as a child, he was tasked with bringing his father ... More
Victoria Miro introduces three rising artists in The Stories We Tell LONDON.- Victoria Miro is presenting the first significant introduction of three emerging artists, all born in the 1990s, to a London audience. The Stories We Tell offers a vivid exploration of memory, identity and family through the distinctive lenses of Tidawhitney Lek, Emil Sands, and Khalif Tahir Thompson. Each artist blends autobiographical elements with imagined and historical narratives, uniting their individual stories through a focus on the human figure. Tidawhitney Lek, a Cambodian-American artist based in Southern California, draws inspiration from her experience growing up as a first-generation American born to immigrant parents. Lek’s paintings are acts of remembering, documenting scenes of everyday life within a large Asian family. She paints with a sharp eye for detail, conjuring images that explore issues of home and belonging. Emil Sands, a London-born painter and writer currently living in New York, captures the physical idiosyncrasies of the human body in his large-scale ... More
Air de Paris presents first French exhibition devoted to G.B. Jones's radical queer films PARIS.- This exhibition marks the first dedicated presentation of Canadian artist G.B. Jones’s work in France, and the first to focus on her films, a less known yet vital strand of her wider oeuvre. Emerging from Toronto’s 1980s underground scene, Jones first came to prominence as a member of the all women post-punk band Fifth Column before expanding her practice to include zine-making, drawing, and filmmaking. As a visual artist, Jones is best known for Tom Girls (1985), a series of drawings that reimagine Tom of Finland’s hypermasculine figures as boisterous, leather-clad women. Rooted in her ongoing interest in questioning and subverting power dynamics, these works were first published in J.D.s (1985–91), the zine she co-founded with Bruce LaBruce. By merging punk’s DIY ethos with a radical queer sensibility, J.D.s played a defining role in shaping the queercore movement. Jones’s films extend these concerns to the moving image form. They function both as tools ... More
The Minneapolis Institute of Art presents "Crowning the North: Silver Treasures from Bergen, Norway" MINNEAPOLIS, MN.- The Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) presents “Crowning the North: Silver Treasures from Bergen, Norway.” This free exhibition on view from November 15, 2025, through March 8, 2026, traces three centuries of Norwegian silversmithing from the refined elegance of the Baroque period to the dramatic Viking Revival of the late 19th century. Organized in collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and KODE Bergen Art Museum, the exhibition features 150 objects, including silver vessels, enameled silver, bridal crowns, tankards, and domestic wares, revealing how Norwegian artisans expressed identity, wealth, and cultural pride through their craft. “This exhibition highlights the artistry of individual silversmiths as well as the social and economic stories embedded in every piece—from the rural tradition of bridal crowns to Viking Revival silver that asserted national pride,” said Max Bryant, James Ford Bell Associate Curator of European Decorative Arts and Sculpture at Mia. “Berge ...

Boijmans Van Beuningen explores Surrealism's legacy in Beyond Surrealism exhibition ROTTERDAM.- This autumn, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen presents Beyond Surrealism, a group exhibition with six internationally renowned artists: Kerstin Brätsch (Germany 1979), Monster Chetwynd (UK 1973), Laure Prouvost (France 1978), Tai Shani (UK 1976), Emma Talbot (UK 1969) and Raphaela Vogel (Germany 1988). Each has chosen works from the museum’s collection to be shown in dialogue with their own work, and several have produced new works for the exhibition. Because Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is the only museum in the Netherlands with a world-class collection of Surrealist art, it is the natural venue for such an exploration of the connections between this movement and contemporary art. This visually impressive exhibition will stimulate visitors’ urge to think critically about social issues and to look differently at the world around us. Beyond Surrealism will surprise visitors by showing masterpieces from the museum’s collection in combination with contemporary art, encouragin ... More
Michael Rosenfeld Gallery celebrates Mary Bauermeister's stone-focused vision in St.one-d NEW YORK, NY.- Michael Rosenfeld Gallery is presenting Mary Bauermeister: St.one-d, the gallery’s third solo exhibition exploring the work of Mary Bauermeister (1934–2023). Featuring 31 works, including Progressions, Spirals, and lens boxes produced over the entirety of the artist’s career, the presentation reveals the consistent use of stones throughout Bauermeister’s oeuvre. With the earliest work included dated 1959 and the latest 2018, St.one-d elucidates the various and interconnecting throughlines in Bauermeister’s practice and underscores the longevity of her investigations into the natural world, mathematical order, and the cosmos. Three paintings from the late 1950s open the exhibition, representing a significant prelude to Bauermeister’s stone works. Rendered in a neutral palette and featuring a dizzying array of pigment, these works are exemplary of her dot paintings, which the artist viewed as crucial progenitors to her stone works. As Bauermeister noted: “From 1958 to 1962, I did some pi ... More
Gardner Museum unveils Robert T. Freeman's tribute to Boston artist Allan Rohan Crite BOSTON, MASS.- At the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, a newly commissioned public work of art by Robert T.

On a day like today, French painter and designer Sonia Delaunay was born
November 14, 1885. Sonia Delaunay (14 November 1885 - 5 December 1979) was a French artist born to Jewish parents, who spent most of her working life in Paris. She was born in the Russian Empire, now Ukraine, and was formally trained in Russia and Germany, before moving to France and expanding her practice to include textile, fashion, and set design. She was part of the School of Paris and co-founded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes, with her husband Robert Delaunay and others. In this image: Sonia Delaunay, Foulard Gouache F 5231, 1928. Gouache on paper, 22 cm × 19.5 cm (8-11/16" × 7-11/16"), sheet 46.6 cm × 45 cm × 2.5 cm (18-3/8" × 17-11/16" × 1"), frame.
