NEW YORK, NY.- In the wake of the success of the collection of Leonard A. Lauder on Tuesday evening, further exceptional collections were presented for sale in Sotheby’s new home at the Breuer tonight. The “white glove” auction of The Cindy and Jay Pritzker Collection set the tone for the evening and saw Vincent van Gogh’s Piles de romans parisiens et roses dans une verre (Romans parisiens) achieve $62.7m. The excitement carried through into the next sale of some 24 works from ‘Exquisite Corpus’ - a once-in-a-lifetime collection of Surrealist art. Frida Kahlo’s El sueño (La cama) led the offering, selling for $54.7m - an auction record for any work by a woman artist. The single owner auctions were followed in turn by a sale of Modern art, at the heart of which were works from the collections of Matthew and Carolyn Bucksbaum and Geri Brawerman, both of which were 100% sold tonight.

WANG Zhongyao, Flesh, 2024. Latex sheets, latex tubing, silicone, artificial crystal, and cotton thread, 170 × 76 × 32 cm.
BEIJING.- CHINCHINART and BONIAN Space are pleased to jointly present Spreading Growth, a group exhibition on view from November 22 to December 21, 2025, curated by SHI Yurui and ZHANG Shuhan. Bringing together painting, video, and installation, the exhibition examines “persistent trauma,” not as a singular event, but as a slow seepage that accumulates through repair, mutates through repetition, and expands across personal, technological, and ecological dimensions. Rooted in psychoanalytic and philosophical inquiry, Spreading Growth draws from Judith Herman’s assertion that “trauma cannot be cured; one can only learn to live with it,” and from Freud’s concept of repetition compulsion, which reveals how the mind continually reconstructs painful experiences. Lacan’s theory of the mirror stage further complicates the formation of selfhood, suggesting an ever-widening distance between the subject and the Real. Within this conceptual framework, the exhibition approa ... More
Louis Anquetin (1861-1932), Avenue de Clichy, in the Evening, five o’clock, 1887, pastel on paper on cardboard, 60.3 x 50.3 cm, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (purchased with support from the VriendenLoterij)
AMSTERDAM.- The medium of pastel enjoyed a resurgence in the late nineteenth century thanks to the discovery of various of new pigments that had a hitherto unknown intensity of colour. Drawings in pastel could be made relatively quickly and on location, and artists presented them as fully fledged, autonomous artworks, comparable to paintings. The Van Gogh Museum’s two new acquisitions illustrate the expressive range of the medium: Anquetin’s lively, colourful depiction of Parisian nightlife, and Degouve’s hushed nocturne in shades of blue. Anquetin’s Avenue de Clichy, Five O'Clock in the Evening captures twilight in the artist’s district of Batignolles in contrasting planes of colour and bold contours, from the greenish reflection of the gas lamps to the red glow from the butcher’s shop shimmering on the wet pavement. At the time, five o’clock was also known as the ‘hour of the meat’, the moment when shoppers made way for ... More

Known internationally for her elaborately staged, cinematic tableaux, Fullerton-Batten constructs meticulously lit scenes that hover between history and imagination.

Todd Hido, 12004-12605, End Sends Advance Warning, 2022. 126 mm format
AMSTERDAM.- Reflex Amsterdam is presenting An Island in the River of Time, a new exhibition by Todd Hido, one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary photography. Known for his atmospheric nocturnal scenes and psychologically charged portraits, Hido now turns toward the expanded visual form of collages, to explore the shifting terrain between memory, place, and narrative. An Island in the River of Time, evokes a momentary stillness within the continuous flow of experience, a pause in which fragments of past and present drift together and drift within the river. In these new works, Hido brings his own photographs into dialogue with vernacular and found imagery, constructing layered compositions that feel at once both intimate and anonymous, real and imagined. “I love the process of laying out the sequence and juxtaposition of images. Sometimes I think half my photographic practice is just shuffling images around. ... More

Tamiko Kawata unveils monumental safety-pin installation at Alison Bradley Projects NEW YORK, NY.- Alison Bradley Projects is presenting Together Too, Tamiko Kawata’s second exhibition with the gallery.

Maggi Hambling and Sarah Lucas reunite for dual exhibition LONDON.- The British artists Maggi Hambling and Sarah Lucas are friends. Good friends. They first met on 23 October 2000, their shared birthday, at the legendary Colony Room Club in Soho, introduced by mutual friend, artist and Soho dandy Sebastian Horsley (1962-2010), who featured at various times in each of their works. This winter, Sadie Coles HQ and Frankie Rossi Art Projects present a unique exhibition by Maggi Hambling and Sarah Lucas spanning two galleries on Bury Street.

Each has portrayed the other: Lucas’s sculptural assemblage, Maggi (2012) and Hambling’s oil ... More
Cheryl Molnar explores nature, memory, and human impact in 'The Overview' at C24 Gallery NEW YORK, NY.- C24 Gallery presents The Overview, a body of works by Cheryl Molnar. Rooted in investigating the evolving relationship between natural and constructed environments, the exhibition reflects on how humanity shapes and reshapes the landscapes it occupies. Drawing from places of personal significance, from Long Island's Gold Coast to the hills of Santa Monica, Molnar reconstructs these environments as layered, utopian worlds. Through this process, she illuminates the tensions between preservation and development, admiration and control. Her constructed landscapes invite viewers to consider how natural beauty is transformed when filtered through human aspiration, nostalgia, and ambition. Molnar's works reveal how memory is built, not as a singular moment, but as an accumulation of impressions. Through carving, painting, photography, and collage, ... More

His densely composed canvases unfold as living, breathing ecosystems — abundant with pattern and form that flow like emotional weather.

Bienvenu Steinberg & C opens exhibition featuring Koo Bohnchang, Jane Yang D'Haene, and Peter Kim NEW YORK, NY.- Bienvenu Steinberg & C is presenting On Vessels, an exhibition featuring Koo Bohnchang (b. 1953, Seoul), Jane Yang D’Haene (b. Seoul), and Peter Kim (b. 1967, Seoul). The exhibition is on view from November 20 through December 20, 2025. Through photography, ceramic and painting, the three Korean artists approach the vessel as both a physical object and conceptual metaphor. Both a literal and spiritual archive, the vessel is a testament to continuity, identity and transformation. A pioneer of Korean photography, Koo Bohnchang has reinterpreted traditional aesthetics through a contemporary lens. After encountering, in 1989, a photograph of the Anglo-Austrian potter Lucie Rie posing with a Korean moon jar, he became interested in ceramics as conduits of history: “ The vessel seemed to me as if it was waiting to be rescued and yearning ...

Relocating from London several years ago, Helen Carnac and David Gates have established their studios and workshops in rural West Somerset. This move has seen an ongoing recontextualisation of their practices, particularly through the gathering of source material and visual imagery while walking the surrounding countryside, exploring human interventions in the landscape. Carnac focuses on the micro ... More

Kathrin Sonntag (b. 1981) has embarked on a journey through the hitherto little-known photographic oeuvre of one of the most important artists of German Expressionism, in order to respond with images from her own photographic archive to selected photographs by Gabriele Münter (1877–1962).
