MIAMI, FLA.- When Ascaso Gallery opens Reciprocity this fall, visitors will enter more than a group exhibition. They will encounter a conversation across generations, a dialogue between Julio Larraz—one of Latin America’s most imaginative painters—and eleven artists whose practices he has shaped through guidance, example, or inspiration. “The idea for Reciprocity was born from a deep desire to bridge the gap between generations,” Larraz reflects. “Throughout my life, I’ve received so much from those who came before me, and it seemed right and necessary to open a space where young artists, with whom I share affection and dialogue, could show their works alongside mine. Seeing them today in this exhibition is an act of celebration and continuity.” For many of the participating artists, Larraz’s influence is inseparable from their growth. His daughter Maia recalls, “Julio ... More
Several lots of early American Pennsylvania Dutch painted furniture will be auctioned, including an oak tall-case clock. Bonnet with brass eagle and two finials. Roman numerals on painted metal face. Estimate: $800-$1,200.
FALLS CHURCH, VA.- Fine 20th-century American landscapes and prints, European and South American art; ceramics, silver, antique furniture and designer handbags are among the many categories featured in Quinn’s Friday, September 19 online-only auction. The expertly curated array of goods consists primarily of consignments from prominent estates and collections in northern Virginia. In addition, Quinn’s is honored to have been entrusted with art, wristwatches and other personal items from the estate of USAF war hero Lieutenant General James R Brown (1930-2015). Throughout its 523 lots, the auction is a visual testament to the gracious lifestyle and uncompromising level of quality evident in the interiors of so many homes in the Greater Washington, DC and Mid-Atlantic region. This is perhaps most apparent in the sterling silver category, which ... More
GLEN COVE, NY.-Roland Auctions NY will present its next Multi-Estates auction on September 20th, 2025, including a large, important private collection of over 150 lots of African masks, sculptures and artifacts. This notable, highly-curated collection comes from the Estate of Ronald Blatt, owner of Blatt Billiards, in New York City. Blatt was a very savvy collector most of his life, in many categories, up until his passing in 2024. Various items in the collection are attributed to be from Songye or Luba people, the Woyo people, the Chokwe people and the Baule people, all from areas including the Ivory Coast, the Congo North Nguni, Nigeria and Central Africa, among others. This collection will be joined by a very unigue selection of James Mont Mid-Century furniture, mostly circa 1960, from an estate in Cedarhurst Long Island and, of course, Roland’s usual stunning selection of Silver, Decorative Arts, Fine Art, Antiques, jewelry, contemp ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Christie's Global President Alex Rotter announced today that Max Carter—a renowned specialist and deal maker—has been named chairman of 20th and 21st Century Art for the Americas. Carter joined Christie's in 2007 and served as Head of Impressionist and Modern Art in the Americas for five years of historic success from 2017-2022. Over the last decade, he has played an instrumental role in Christie's leadership in masterpieces, landmark collections, and 20th century art. He has overseen many of the top collection sales of all time, including Anne Bass, Paul Allen, S.I. Newhouse and Mica Ertegun, and through his passion, creativity, and conviction, he has shattered records for masterpieces across categories from Rousseau to Ruscha. “Passion, expertise, and creativity are our greatest strengths at Christie's, and Max exemplifies all of them,” said Alex Rotter. “Max is a highly respected colleague, a trusted ...

BAYONNE.- A cultural landmark, silent for over a decade, is about to sing again. After 14 years of ambitious expansion and restoration, the Bonnat-Helleu Museum is set to throw open its doors, unveiling a breathtaking metamorphosis that promises to redefine the art experience in the Basque Country. The grand inauguration on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, marks not just a reopening, but the rebirth of a high-cultural sanctuary where nearly 1,200 masterpieces now reside within a building that is completely transformed, vibrant, and accessible to all. For more than a decade, the imposing structure in the heart of Petit Bayonne has stood quiet, its treasures tucked away as the city worked to breathe new life into its historic walls. The wait, as visitors are about to discover, was well worth it. The renovation, under the leadership of the City of Bayonne and the masterful touch of the architectural firm Brochet, Lajus et Pueyo, was guided by two simple yet profound principles: openness ...

GLASSBORO, NJ.- The Philadelphia and South Jersey region has its first opportunity to see a full solo exhibition of work by vanessa german – one of the most influential contemporary sculptors in America today – from September 2 to November 1 at Rowan University Art Gallery & Museum. The Pittsburgh native’s practice employs mineral crystals, beads, glass, found objects, and other sourced material to create expressive figurative sculptures that transmit healing energy. German (who styles her name in lowercase) works in sculpture, performance, and communal ritual to cultivate spiritual models for transforming human experience. The self-taught artist is particularly known for her monument to Marian Anderson in the 2023 “Beyond Granite” exhibition on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Rowan’s Art Gallery & ... More

Part true crime narrative, part procedural, The Grave Robber offers a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at the meticulous work involved in tracking down one of the most prolific art thieves in history.
NEW YORK, NY.- Tim Carpenter, former FBI Lead Investigator on the Art Crime Team, will release his debut book, the unbelievable true story: The Grave Robber: The Biggest Stolen Artifacts Case in FBI History and the Bureau’s Quest to Set Things Right, with Harper Horizon on October 14, 2025. In The Grave Robber, Tim recounts one of the most extraordinary and unsettling cases in the history of art theft. Over the course of five decades, a lone graverobber accumulated an illicit trove of over 42,000 artifacts from cultures across the globe, including Native American, Haitian, Chinese, and others. The stolen items included nearly 500 ancestral remains, carefully looted from sacred burial sites and cultural heritage locations. Carpenter’s team, driven by an unwavering commitment to justice, embarks on a harrowing journey to track down this elusive criminal and uncover the full scope ... More
A decade-long photographic exploration of Manhattan's West Side.
NEW YORK, NY.- Five Continents Editions announces the publication of Manhattan Project, a new photographic monograph by Jan Staller. For nearly fifty years, Staller has photographed the New York metropolitan area, with a sustained focus on Manhattan’s West Side—a personal “Point Lobos.” His work has long diverged from conventional views of the city. Instead of documenting icons and skylines, he creates expressive images that transform overlooked materials into art. Manhattan Project continues this vision. Photographed at construction sites throughout New York, the series isolates rebar, mesh, and other utilitarian materials against white grounds, revealing their sculptural and ephemeral qualities. Inspired by Eva Hesse, Gego, and Ellsworth Kelly, the images blur the boundaries between photography, drawing, painting, and sculpture. Neil deGrasse Tyson, in his foreword, writes: “An artist photographer who sees what we don’t see… he reimagines the ... More
Esteban Vicente, Experience, 1998. Oil on canvas, 52 x 42 inches. 132.1 x 106.7 cm. Courtesy of The Harriet and Esteban Vicente Foundation and Miles McEnery Gallery, New York, NY.
NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery is presenting a focused survey of works by Esteban Vicente. The artist’s eighth solo exhibition at the gallery is on view through 25 October 2025. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated publication featuring an essay by Daniel Haxall, PhD. The only Spanish-born member of the first generation of the New York School of Abstract Expressionism, Esteban Vicente was a master colorist. While rooted in the energetic mark-making of Abstract Expressionism, Vicente’s canvases resist bombast or overt drama. He was interested in what he described as the “capacity of color to become light,” and intentionally stripped away “fanciful” brushwork as a means of preserving a pure chromatic landscape, one where the artist’s hand receded. The distinct luminosity of Vicente’s canvases is a testament to the success of his pursuit. The works ... More
Installation view of Anthony Olubunmi Akinbola: Camouflage at Sean Kelly, New York,September 5 – October 18, 2025, Photography: Jason Wyche, Courtesy: Sean Kelly, New York/Los Angeles.
NEW YORK, NY.- Sean Kelly is presenting Camouflage, an exhibition of new paintings by Anthony Olubunmi Akinbola. Marking a pivotal moment in the artist’s practice nearly a decade after he first began working with durags as his primary material, this exhibition is the apotheosis of Akinbola’s evolving relationship with durags and their cultural associations. Presenting a range of styles, this new body of work reflects a shift from overt sociopolitical commentary toward a more nuanced, materially focused inquiry, centering on the durag’s formal potential, chromatic variation, and emotional resonance. Titled in homage to Akinbola’s earliest durag works, Camouflage explores the idea of metamorphosis, how a material, like identity, can adapt, evolve, and carry multiple readings at the same time. Akinbola’s durag paintings, which once spoke primarily to themes of assimilation, stereotype, and Black identity, now reveal themselves equally ... More
Kneaded vase, 1958, 15 cm. Photography Erik and Petra Hesmerg.
AMSTERDAM.- On November 15th, the monograph Jan van der Vaart. Master potter will be published at the initiative of Cometa* – Stichting voor kunstboekpublicaties. This is the first major publication about the most important post-war Dutch ceramicist since 1991, exactly 25 years after his death. The publication coincides with the opening of a major retrospective about Jan van der Vaart at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag (The Hague). Making pots is donkey work, not a genteel undertaking in which your hands are guided by God. It was with this mentality that Jan van der Vaart (1931-2000) created a magnificent body of vases and other everyday objects. He had no cause to complain in his lifetime about a lack of acknowledgement of his remarkable craftsmanship. In his fifty years as a potter, his artistry was warmly embraced by critics, collectors, museums and the state. Early in his career he was recognised as the most important Dutch ceramicist of his generation, a status emphasised by an endless successi ... More
Patek Philippe, Pertpetual Calendar Ref. 1526 – Big Arabic. Estimate: €400,000 - 800,000.
PARIS.- The first section will be dedicated to Bonaparte’s Egyptian expedition, accompanied by his team of scholars, presented through a collection of drawings and documents from the former collection of Jean-Joseph Marcel, engineer, orientalist, and interpreter who took part to the journey. Artcurial will feature a rare 1830 bound edition of the Description de l’Égypte, alongside twenty preparatory drawings for the book’s illustrations, depicting archaeological objects, hieroglyphic surveys, and botanical studies. This remarkable ensemble includes both carefully finished watercolor drawings, submitted to the Commission of Arts, and sketches captured on site during the expedition. While the military successes of the campaign, led by the young General Bonaparte, were limited, his scientific ambition represents the true triumph. From the very landing, the project for a monumental work began to take shape, a direct heir to the Enlightenment and the Revolution. The second part of th ... More

"Back in the USSR" exhibition unveils rare glimpse into Soviet underground art scene PARIS.- The exhibition "Back in the USSR – Artists of Perestroika" brings together a series of photographs taken by Michael von Graffenried in Moscow in the spring of 1988, on the threshold of an uncertain turning point. Nearly forty years later, the exhibition at ESPACE MVG in Paris presents a selection of these prints, which continue to question the role of the artist in the face of authoritarianism, both then and now. Just months before the fall of the Berlin Wall, as Perestroika ("restructuring") and Glasnost ("transparency") carried a wind of reform into a faltering Soviet Union, Graffenried immersed himself in Moscow’s underground art scene. In studios, and more rarely in public spaces, he met and photographed artists whose freedom of expression remained precarious despite the liberalization announced by Gorbachev. The series bears witness to the resilience ... More

Norman Lewis abstraction leads African American art at Swann October 7 NEW YORK, NY.- Swann Galleries’ sale of African American Art is set for Tuesday, October 7. The fall offering features a strong selection of artists from the Post-War and Contemporary eras with exceptional examples of abstract paintings, assemblage and sculpture, and works on paper.

Lewis found his creative breakthrough in describing the nocturnal urban landscape of New York City within his black ... More

Sensing Meaning, Abstract Painting encourages ... More
Esther Schipper now representing Rafa Silvares BERLIN.- Esther Schipper announced the representation of Rafa Silvares. Rafa Silvares was born in 1984 in Santos, Brazil. He holds a BFA from FAAP (Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado), São Paulo and a BA in Language and Literature from the Faculty of Philosophy, Languages, and Human Sciences (FFLCH) at the University of São Paulo. The artist lives and works in Berlin. In Rafa Silvares's work, time appears arrested and space collapsed onto itself. Amidst the seductiveness of their smooth surface and the visual pleasure of expanses of brilliant color, we have an intuitive understanding of the allegorical nature of his paintings. Their frozen movements evoke the end of the belief in the inherent benefit of progress. The static fluidity of their masses—be they natural formations (water, mud, or lava) or expelled from human-made machinery (pipes, pistons, or washers) ... More

Chant Avedissian's final vision unveiled in new exhibition MADRID.- Sabrina Amrani is presenting Chant Avedissian: Go East, Young Man, an exhibition by the late artist Chant Avedissian. The exhibition Go East, Young Man is dedicated to Chant Avedissian (1951–2018), one of the most singular and rich voices of contemporary Egyptian art. Far from being a conventional retrospective, the exhibition is structured around an intimate and decisive document: the autobiography that the artist wrote himself shortly before his death. This brief and fragmentary text, in which travels, exhibitions, friendships, and personal episodes intertwine, is not only a biographical testimony but also an aesthetic and political statement about which events, people, and moments he chose to preserve as his legacy. Avedissian’s handwritten biography has been transcribed verbatim in vinyl on the gallery walls, forming a timeline that encircles the exhibition ... More
Fall 2025 exhibitions opening at the Museum of Northwest Art LA CONNER, WA.- Fall 2025 launches an exciting selection of fresh programs including two new contemporary art exhibitions celebrating painting in the Pacific Northwest. Both exhibitions offer a look into the current state of painting in the region. The diverse selection of work demonstrate how current artists are engaging this storied medium in ways which tie in investigations of art history, examinations of the self, society, and nature, and the formal and material potentials of paint. In much the same way that the body requires a diverse variety of vitamins to remain healthy, function properly, and to grow, the visual arts rely on a regimen of media and practices that are integral to its well-being. Steadfast among those visual and material supplements is “Vitamin P”- Painting. A central pillar of Western art, over the past century the practice of painting has undergone seismic transformations, been declared dead, ... More

Blanca Gracia 'Tornapiel' opens at Cooke Latham Gallery LONDON.- At the heart of Blanca Gracia’s exhibition lies the concept of body horror, the societal revulsion towards a bodily ‘other’ that fails to conform to a heteronormative standard. With its roots in Greek myth and its more recent tendrils woven throughout the contemporary horror genre, Gracia challenges these bodily fictions to create a new and celebratory manifestation of a body in revolt. A giant constellation of sculptural organs float, seemingly untethered, in the gallery space. Their scale conjures the idea of a forest through which the visitor can walk; an arboreal encounter with a ‘monstrous’ internal female landscape. The accompanying audio work merges sounds of the forest and the body, wind and heartbeat, again aligning the idea of the body as a potential wilderness, the site of outcasts, of beasts, of mythical beings. It harnesses a feeling of vulnerability towards a world less dominated by societal constructs and teases the listener with the known audio ... More
