Lucien Ott, Portrait of the Artist's Daughter, Lucienne, Watercolor and gouache, over black chalk on paper, 15 5/8 x 11 1/4 inches.
NEW YORK, NY.-Jill Newhouse Gallery presents works on paper and sculpture from 1850-2025 depicting images of women. Curated by Jovana Stokic, the show includes the work of important historical artists such as J.F. Millet, Camille Pissarro, Picasso, Rodin, and Edouard Vuillard alongside the works of contemporary artists such as Kiki Smith, Cecily Brown, and Elizabeth Peyton. “…the figure of woman is never singular. Women emerge as subjects even when cast as objects, each image carrying its own story of intimacy, desire, archetype, or resistance. Together, these works form not a single history but a constellation of intimacies, allegories, eroticisms, and subversions, converging in the doubleness that keeps the feminine figure central to how art imagines—and reimagines—the act of looking.” Jovana Stokic The show begins historically with J.F. Millet’s emotionally observed ... More

Detail of Death of Adonis, François Boucher, Oil on canvas, 65.3 x 81.6 cm, Circa 1730, Madrid, Museo Nacional del Prado.
MADRID.- The lavish, sensual world of French Rococo just got brighter in Madrid. The Museo Nacional del Prado has announced a major acquisition that cements its standing as a premier destination for 18th-century art: two exceptional mythological paintings by François Boucher, the undisputed star of the era. The newly acquired works, The Birth of Adonis and The Death of Adonis, offer a crucial glimpse into the early genius of Boucher (1703–1770), who would later become the court decorator par excellence for Louis XV and the favorite painter of Madame de Pompadour. The two canvases, which cost €2.2 million, were purchased using funds generated by the generous bequest of Juan José Luna Fernández, a beloved former Prado curator and a pivotal scholar ... More

Dagobert Peche(1887-1923), Mirror frame, 1922. Execution: Max Welz for the Wiener Werkstätte. Linden-wood, carved, painted white and gilt. Neue Galerie New York. Photo: Hulya Kolabas.
NEW YORK, NY.- “Dagobert Peche: Ornamental Genius” is the first exhibition devoted to this significant figure since the Neue Galerie’s seminal exhibition of his work in 2002. This show will feature approximately 50 works, including objects from the museum’s holdings alongside loans from local private collections. A highlight of this show is the inclusion of objects that can be traced to the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshops) of America, the firm’s short-lived Fifth Avenue showroom that was open from 1922-23. Dagobert Peche (1887-1923) was one of the greatest Austrian decorative artists of his generation. Peche studied architecture at his father’s behest, even though he preferred to be a painter. Peche first made an impact on the Viennese art scene in 1911 when he met architect Josef Hoffmann, who was a cofounder of both the Vienna Secession and the Wiener Werkstätte. Peche’s earliest textile designs for the firm ... More
PARIS.- David is a towering figure. Considered the father of the French School, revered for breathing new life into painting, he produced imagery that to this day inhabits the collective imagination: from The Death of Marat to Napoleon Crossing the Alps and The Coronation of Napoleon, his paintings are the filter through which we picture the great moments of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Empire, while his portraits bring to life the society of this period. To mark the bicentennial of his death in exile in Brussels in 1825, the Musée du Louvre is offering a new perspective on a figure and body of work of extraordinary richness and diversity. The exhibition shines a light on the inventive force and expressive power of the art of Jacques-Louis David (1748–1825), whose paintings are more intensely charged with feeling than is belied by their extreme rigour. The exhibition spans the long career of an artist who witnessed six different political regimes and actively participated in t ... More

PHILADELPHIA, PA.- Moderne Gallery is presenting George Nakashima: Foundations of Form. The exhibition presents an exploration of George Nakashima’s (1905-1990) early designs which display a truly unique vision and an inspired progression of innovation and spirit. The early works featured serve as a testament to Nakashima’s distinct, intuitive, and naturalistic design language which captures a harmony between the natural world and the vivacity of the modern experience. Widely recognized as one of the most important woodworkers and designers of the 20th century, Nakashima is best known for the work he produced from the 1960s onward. However, it is within his foundational work that we see the emergence of a distinct, deeply personal visual and philosophical vocabulary – one that would ultimately shape the course of his career and legacy. Featured in the exhibition are early designs that came to fruition conceptually and physically as a result of Nakashima’s extensive formative experienc ... More

Malmö Konsthall presents Speaking Volumes MALMO.- When something speaks volumes it communicates powerfully without needing many words. What is said often goes beneath and beyond verbal language. It becomes spatial—it could be a feeling, an impression or an energy in the room. For this exhibition, Malmö Konsthall has invited six artists who speak volumes through their works. Their distinct visual languages each reveal different ways of experiencing the world. In bypassing rigid definitions, explanations and categorisations they instead invite us to celebrate plurality, fluidity and nuance. The exhibition brings together a spectrum of fascinations and urgencies: mapping and worldbuilding, the repetition of patterns and movements, and experiments with colour and composition. Bearing visible traces of their makers’ unique methods and processes, the works are both living vessels for personal thoughts and reflections, ... More

Joe Ray's first retrospective outside the U.S. arrives in London LONDON.- Luxembourg + Co. opened the first retrospective exhibition of Joe Ray (b.1944) to be held outside of the United States. The exhibition spans across the gallery's London space and Frieze Masters art fair and is accompanied by a new monographic book. Arriving in Los Angeles in 1963 as a young artist, Joe Ray witnessed the 1960s developments in space exploration and rocket technology, not only as an intense rivalry between the United States and the Soviets, but also as a more expansive context to pervasive civil unrest in the USA, and specifically in LA. "What might be the implications of reaching outer space? Will there be room to imagine a new social order?" In the mid '60s, Ray began casting with resin, a new material for artists that (along with light), came to define Southern California's "Light and Space" movement. Ray began to reinterpret the formal concerns ... More
