NEW YORK, NY.- This November, Sotheby’s will offer Maurizio Cattelan’s America (2016): a fully functional toilet fashioned from just over 100 kilograms of solid 18-karat gold, which has become one of the century’s most influential—and infamous—artworks. In an auction first, the starting bid will be determined by the price of the artwork’s weight in gold—rising or falling with the gold market until the hammer falls. Cattelan’s incisive commentary on the collision of artistic production and commodity value has never felt more timely. The appearance of America at auction will confront the question that has long preoccupied not only Cattelan but also the art world at large, namely: how do we value art? With his characteristic subversive wit and intellectual precision, the genius of Cattelan’s work lies in his interrogation with the notion of value. If for centuries art has been questioned for the perceived intangibility of its value, here the artist turns that ... More

MADRID.- The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza is organising an exhibition that brings together the work of Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock, two key figures in 20th-century art who focused on issues relating to new spatial strategies. Like other artists of that generation also present in the exhibition, they were united by their interest in changes in the pictorial tradition, spatiality and, in some cases, the use of large formats. The works featured in the exhibition reveal how Jackson Pollock (1912–1956) was not always an “abstract master”, while also presenting a more complex Andy Warhol (1928–1987) than the artist of dispassionately depicted, banal themes from popular culture. Midway between the abstract and the figurative, in their own way both set out to reassess the concept of space and its use as a place of concealment; a space ... More

BREST.- “An ocean must be a story pieced together from many sources and containing whole chapters the details of which we can only imagine,” wrote Rachel Carson in The Sea Around Us (1951), translated into French as Cette mer qui nous entoure. In her book, this American biologist combined science and poetry to describe the abundant life of the various levels of the ocean, from the icy darkness of the depths to the power of the tides and currents. She also reminded us that the ocean’s origin, two billion years ago, was not witnessed by any human being, yet is nevertheless the source of our own existence. To Carson, the sea is both a process far beyond the human scale and a place deeply entwined with our imagination. The exhibition Cette mer qui nous entoure is set in this divide, between invisibility and imagination, between the immensity of natural phenomena and the fragility of our human gaze. First ... More

Exhibition at MAK redefines the book as a medium of art, memory, and imagination VIENNA.- Books tell stories, convey knowledge and emotions, are windows onto new worlds and conceptual creativity turns them into autonomous works of art. Since the 1960s, generations of artists have been rethinking the book as medium and using it to imaginatively express new ideas. Some 300 experimental publications in the MAK’s TURNING PAGES: Artists’ Books of the Present exhibition provide insights into the genre’s aesthetic variety. In 1977, American writer Lucy R. Lippard described an artist’s book thus: “A book by an artist, not about art, but as art in itself.” It is a genre that is especially welcoming to interdisciplinary approaches. Playing with formats, materials, and media, the artists presented here transform drawing, painting, photography, film, and music as they weave archive materials, photographs, fragments, and traces left by printing processes into autonomous ...
