In December 2024, the position was generously endowed by Henrietta Gates and Heaton Robertson. Prior to 2020, Oaks served as Curator of the Museum from 1981 to 1990 and 2007 to 2019. ... More

The gift, made in celebration of the museum’s 75th anniversary, ultimately totals nearly 200 pieces, representing 58 patterns produced by New Hall between the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Hans Eworth’s Portrait of 4th Duke of Norfolk establishes record for an Elizabethan portrait at auction selling for £3.2m / $4.2m. Courtesy Sotheby's.
LONDON.- “Over the past days, the galleries have come alive with visitors drawn to these remarkable paintings, and witnessing that enthusiasm has been immensely rewarding. This evening, great works found fitting homes: from the Eworth, which set a new auction record for an Elizabethan portrait, to the extraordinary 15th-century Sherborne triptych, which sold to a Christian Foundation with close links to the Brethren at the Almshouse. Similarly, the sale of some of these works will fund great causes, as is the case with the captivating portrait of Saint John by Rembrandt. The rarity of these works and the depth of their provenance encouraged meaningful and cross-category bidding, as collectors sought the opportunity to secure a piece of history. This evening’s results were shaped by the calibre and character of the works on offer, many of which were steeped, or sometimes hidden, in centuries of history. The warm response from collectors reflects not only the inherent quality of these w ... More

DUSSELDORF.- Scents awaken memories, stir emotions and influence our perceptions and actions. With this major overview exhibition, the Kunstpalast will focus on the fascinating history of scent for the first time – from antiquity to the present – and bring it to life as a sensory experience. Spanning 5,000 m², the exhibition takes visitors on a journey through more than a thousand years of art and cultural history. When walking through the collection, one can encounter around 30 specially developed scent stations that open up entirely new interactions between the experience of art and the sense of smell. The journey begins with the spiritual and therapeutic function of fragrances in religious ceremonies, which dates back thousands of years. It continues through the opulent fragrance culture of European courts in the Baroque era and the stench of 18th-century cities, where the legendary Eau de Cologne was developed. With the Industrial Revolution came synthetic scents, which not only inf ... More

BERLIN.- Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) presents the first institutional survey exhibition in Germany of artist, filmmaker, and writer Moyra Davey. Combining autobiographical elements with a research-driven ap- proach, Davey has developed a unique essayistic practice that interweaves image and text. Her work reflects a fondness for engaging with iconic texts and authors whose work spans the fields of memoir and psycho- analysis to art history, and juxtaposes deliberations on artistic creation, with personal stories drawn from her New York City surroundings and beyond. The exhibition spans more than three decades of Davey’s practice and foregrounds the artist’s distinctive method of collaging and revisiting found or self-produced images and fragments of text. A central strand of this practice is her use of mailed, photographic prints which have been folded down to letter-size, and pos- ted directly to the galleries and institutions in which they are displayed. Among other works, t ... More

Eva Presenhuber now representing Sandra Mujinga ZURICH.- Galerie Eva Presenhuber announced the representation of Sandra Mujinga alongside Croy Nielsen, Vienna, and The Approach, London. Working across installation, sculpture, performance, text, and digital media, Mujinga explores shifting economies of visibility and opacity, self-representation, and the politics of surveillance. Her work is deeply invested in traces and concealment, what lingers, haunts from history, or slips away, and in how bodies are remembered. Often drawing from fossils and science fiction, she speculates on creatures from the past and the future, while conjuring ghostly figures that resist fixed identities. Informed by post-human theory and the afterlives of colonialism, Mujinga envisions alternative worlds where technology, humans, and other beings merge in speculative and political acts of becoming. Mujinga's solo exhibition Skin to Skin is currently ... More
James Gregory Atkinson uncovers overlooked narratives of Black Germany through objects, archives, and memory BERLIN.- Galerie Thomas Schulte is presenting EBENHOLZ, a solo exhibition featuring the installations of James Gregory Atkinson, who further develops his research-intensive practice, delving into the histories of Black Germany after the Second World War. Atkinson salvages salient sounds, objects, documents, and thereby, legacies—which lend a palpable material presence to the histories that have shaped Germany but have often been placed outside of the official historical record. This latest iteration of Atkinson’s research unfolds at the intersection of biographical and historical narratives. The biographical aspect is filtered through numerous references to the musical career of Marie Nejar (1930–2025), who, after being compelled to act in Nazi ... More
The Space Between at Camera Austria challenges dominant narratives through photography, AI, and critical storytelling GRAZ.- The Space Between by Klara Källström & Thobias Fäldt questions the role of the image in addressing the fractures of late capitalist democracies and the systems of knowledge they are based on. By investigating the interstitial, the in-between, and the minor, and by suggesting unexpected connections between historical facts and present contingencies, the artist duo’s practice challenges ideas of an event and its representation, pointing toward relationality as a way of knowing otherwise. For this show, Källström & Fäldt bring works from their archive into dialogue, adding reflection on AI-generated imagery as a new layer of complexity. The notion of relationality is further explored in connection with the ontological status ... More
