Charles II 'Petition' Crown brings record $960,000 to lead Heritage's auctions

Charles II silver Pattern "Petition" Crown 1663 MS62 NGC, KM-PnB33, S-3354A, L&S-6, ESC-429 (R4; prev. ESC-72). By Thomas Simon.

DALLAS, TX.- The second-highest-graded “Petition” Crown sold for a record $960,000 to lead Heritage’s January 8 NYINC Platinum Session World & Ancient Coins Signature® Auction to $12,154,981. The result, coupled with the $3,829,532 NYINC World Coins Signature® Auction January 16-18, boosted the combined total of the events to $15,984,513. “The results in this auction reinforce Heritage’s position as the world’s leading auctioneer of British coins,” says Cris Bierrenbach, Executive Vice President of International Numismatics at Heritage Auctions, “consistently selling more British coins than even the major auction firms that are based in the United Kingdom, many of which have a history that is decades or even centuries longer than Heritage’s.” The result for the Charles II silver Pattern “Petition” Crown 1663 MS62 NGC smashed the previous world reco ...

Robert Whitman, cutting-edge performance artist, dies at 88   Pace opens an exhibition of immersive paintings by Marina Perez Simão   A New York art debut, a Los Angeles love song

by Randy Kennedy


NEW YORK, NY.- Robert Whitman, a pioneer of performance and multimedia art whose work tapped into primitive, nonverbal human ritual while also anticipating the fractured nature of 21st-century digital existence, died Friday at his home in Warwick, New York, in the Hudson Valley. He was 88. His death was announced by Pace Gallery, which represented him for many years. The gallery did not disclose a cause. In the late 1950s, Whitman was among a handful of young New York artists who helped give birth to a new form of temporal art, which became known as the Happening — although most of the originators grew to dislike the term, especially after it became a catchall for almost any shaggily structured countercultural ...

LOS ANGELES, CA.- Pace is presenting an exhibition of immersive paintings by Marina Perez Simão at its Los Angeles gallery. On view from January 20 to March 2, 2024, the show, titled Solanaceae, brings together some 15 canvases of various sizes—including monumental panoramas—created by the artist in the past year. Solanaceae marks Simão’s first-ever solo presentation in LA and, more broadly, on the West Coast of the United States, and the exhibition will coincide with the 2024 edition of Frieze LA. It is accompanied by a new catalogue from Pace Publishing, featuring a foreword by the gallery’s Curatorial Director Kimberly Drew as well as an original essay by SCAD Museum of Art Assistant Curator Brittany Richmond. Working across oil painting, watercolor, and printmaking, Simão is known for her vibrant, lyrical compositions exploring both interior and exterior landscapes. Through her practice, she ... More
 

Work in progress by Cauleen Smith, 2023. © Cauleen Smith.

by Siddhartha Mitter


NEW YORK, NY.- A couple of months ago, artist-filmmaker Cauleen Smith gathered a bare-bones crew for a guerrilla-style shoot — no permits; the locations half-scouted, half-figured-out on the fly — around the land that she calls her home and her obsession: Los Angeles. They were filming the city — four days and nights in a van, shooting from the ocean to East LA, from humble Watts blocks to the San Gabriel foothills. But more than this, they were tuning in to the city’s signals, as you might on an old radio — with the words of a Los Angeles poet, Wanda Coleman, as their tonal and emotional compass. They made long tracking shots of the beach or roads lined with fast-food outlets and auto shops. They took slow panoramas from hilltops and held still for minutes, sometimes hours, on downtown garment-shop blocks or ... More



New study reveals evidence of an ice-rich layered deposit on Mars   NILS STÆRK opens 'Shifting Views', a group exhibition   As missiles strike, a radio station broadcasts the rage of a battered city

WASHINGTON, DC.- Findings from a recently published paper led by Smithsonian senior scientist emeritus Thomas R. Watters reveal evidence that the deposits of the vast Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF) may contain a significant volume of water ice. The paper, “Evidence of Ice-Rich Layered Deposits in the Medusae Fossae Formation of Mars,” published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters Jan. 18, presents new radar sounder data that show the similarity between the MFF deposits and the ice-rich polar layered deposits at the north and south poles of Mars. Modeling of the compaction behavior of proposed ice-free geologic materials shows that none of them can account for the ... More

COPENHAGEN.- NILS STÆRK presents the group exhibition Shifting Views with works by Carlos Amorales, Charlotte Brüel, Dario Escobar, Gardar Eide Einarsson, Jone Kvie, Mads Gamdrup, Rebecca Lindsmyr and Tove Storch. Shifting Views delves into diverse artistic expressions connected by an exploration of transformative perspectives. Across various mediums, artists navigate the intricate world of layered compositions—be it the visible layers on canvas and sculpture or the metaphorical depths within conceptual frameworks. From deliberate manipulations of perception to symbolic resonances carrying hidden layers of meaning, the works on display open the multifaceted nature of interpretation. The exhibition title serves as both a guide and a conceptual anchor, encouraging viewers to engage with the evolving realm of multiple possibilities. Shifting Views leads us into a space where meaning is shaped by the interweaving of tangible and ... More
 

The Kharkiv Palace Hotel, one of the city’s most popular hotels and a frequent venue for foreign journalists that was severely damaged by a Russian attack on Dec. 30, in Kharkiv, Ukraine on Jan. 18, 2024. (Tyler Hicks/The New York Times)

by Andrew E. Kramer and Maria Varenikova


KHARKIV.- It was the middle of the night in early January when a Russian missile streaked in and exploded in the center of Kharkiv, blasting down walls and shattering windows. The next day, people went shopping and to work, ate out in restaurants and clogged the streets with traffic jams, almost as if nothing had happened. But behind the business-as-usual veneer, residents of Kharkiv have been seething. Over the past month, Ukraine’s second-largest city has taken the brunt of Russia’s missile campaign, which has killed and wounded dozens of people, blown up buildings and unnerved everyone. It’s an almost daily torment. To vent, Kharkiv’s residents have a dedicated outlet: Radio Boiling Over, a new FM station. “This is Boiling Over in the Morning,” Volodymyr Noskov, the host of the morning call-in show, said on a recent broadcast. “What are you boiling over about today?” In Kharkiv, a sprawling city of universities and fact ...

von ammon co opens 'Thebe Phetogo: 8 Propositions for the Origin of a blackbody'   Smithsonian curators to collect 2024 Presidential Campaign Memorabilia   Maureen Paley hosts Sweetwater, Berlin in Condo London 2024


Thebe Phetogo, Proposition 3 - Indicator Species, Painting 4, 2023, oil and acrylic on canvas, 60 x 48 inches

WASHINGTON, DC.- von ammon co is presenting 8 Propositions for the Origin of a blackbody, a solo exhibition by Gaborone-based artist Thebe Phetogo. This is Phetogo’s second solo show with von ammon co and the gallery’s twenty-ninth project in its current location. The fourteen paintings on view share a formal commonality: Phetogo's signature acid-green as the dominant color. This continuous field evokes the null backdrop of the green screen of film and television, and serves as a neutral ground for Phetogo's analysis of figurative painting. Titled 8 Propositions for the Origin of a blackbody, the exhibition's paintings serve as a visual rubric: two or three paintings communally represent one assertion in the development of Phetogo's painterly thesis. The «blackbody», which borrows its name from the concept of dark matter in physics, is the artist's subject in every work. The blackbody, however, never manifests itself directly, and exists&# ...

Curators Lisa Kathleen Graddy, Jon Grinspan and Claire Jerry are planning to cover initial Democratic and Republican contests leading up to Super Tuesday March 5.

WASHINGTON, DC.- As the 2024 presidential election season speeds up with caucuses and primaries in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, political history curators from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History will be on the road gathering materials and memorabilia to document this election cycle for the national collections. Curators Lisa Kathleen Graddy, Jon Grinspan and Claire Jerry are planning to cover initial Democratic and Republican contests leading up to Super Tuesday March 5. They will seek to include materials that reflect debates, rallies, protests, and on-site and digital campaign activities. The collecting initiative will continue through the summer’s nominating conventions and the November election. “By actively collecting new materials at the primaries and the party conventions every four years, the nation’s flagship history museum documents the ...

LONDON.- Maureen Paley is participating in Condo London 2024, hosting Sweetwater, Berlin, presenting works by Christopher Aque and Alexandre Khondji at Studio M, London. Christopher Aque’s diptychs Ebb and Flow pair photographs of water as it meets the shoreline with male bodies in urban contexts – scenes intimate, fragile, and anonymous. The ebbing and flowing waves act both as boundary and invitation; the brief encounters captured in New York’s summer heat are at once voyeuristic and tender. Each image is a gum-bichromate print, the result of a labour-intensive process in which each colour is printed separately, creating a watercolour-like effect. Alexandre Khondji’s Dams is a modular, site-specific series which uses readymade aluminium flood barriers to divide areas within a given space. The panels and stands of the flood barriers are fabricated and arranged such that entire portions of usually-accessible ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, one of the country’s foremost educational experiences for artists, has appointed Steve Locke to the Board of Governors.

Rare George Rasmussen's (“Good For 12 ½ cent in trade at / George Rasmussen’s / Central City / Colorado”), unlisted in Dunn, 2.2 inches in diameter, in nice condition (est. $600-$1,200)

RENO, NEV.- Holabird Western Americana Collections, LLC’s original plan was to have two auctions in January – a timed online-only sale in the middle of the month and a live auction (with online bidding) at the end of the month. That idea has been scrapped. Now, both sales will be combined into one catalog – the timed online sale Jan. 25-26 and the live auction on Jan. 27-28. Taken collectively, the two auctions are titled Marvels of the West – aptly named due to their contents. Both events will contain about 500-600 lots per day, in the categories collectors have come to expect from Holabird: Western and Native Americana, Gold Rush, mining, coins and currency, railroadiana, tokens, philatelic, bottles, ephemera and more. Start times all four days are 8 am Pacific. The live auction, Days 3 and 4, will be held at 3555 Airway Drive in Reno. “We ... More

MANCHESTER.- For the opening exhibition of 2024, The Lowry is presenting Making Up by visual artist Jo Lathwood. Commissioned by The Lowry, Lathwood will spend four weeks in residence developing, building, and deconstructing this site-responsive installation. Making Up will offer visitors a view behind the scenes into the functional spaces that are usually hidden out of sight. In the first few weeks, gallery visitors will be able to watch Lathwood working daily in person or via live-streamed CCTV footage from The Lowry’s basement workshops (11am–5pm Tuesday–Sunday). Over the following weeks, they will see the installation morph and grow in real-time as it is constructed inside the gallery space. Salford and Manchester’s higgledy-piggledy landscapes of railways, roads, and canals stacked one upon another are reflected in The Lowry’s own architecture, with the building containing several dead ends and unexpected viewpoints ...

Multimedia artist Em Kettner's first exhibition at François Ghebaly opens in New York
NEW YORK, NY.- François Ghebaly is presenting Homebound, American multimedia artist Em Kettner’s first exhibition at the gallery’s New York space. In Homebound, Kettner offers the latest iteration in her practice’s core consideration of life and disability. Across fifteen drawn miniatures in intricately crafted artist’s frames, Kettner reflects on kinship, autonomy, and medicalism with utmost care and the occasional dose of levity. Kettner’s new series of drawings in sculpted wooden frames expands upon the artist’s established practice of depicting the disabled body in contexts where care exceeds a definition of sentimental help and becomes an ethos integral to the formation of community. Disability is the integral aspect from which flows bondedness in iterations erotic, emotional, intellectual, and amorous. What sets the series apart from ... More

Lev Rubinstein, Russian poet and a critic of Putin, is dead at 76
MOSCOW.- Lev Rubinstein, a Russian poet, essayist and political dissident during both the Soviet and Putin eras, died on Jan. 14 from injuries sustained after he was hit by a car in Moscow. He was 76. His death was confirmed by his daughter Maria in a brief statement on her LiveJournal account. Rubinstein was struck while crossing a street and had been placed in a medically induced coma. Moscow authorities said that the driver had committed numerous traffic violations and “did not slow down,” and that they had opened criminal proceedings against him. Rubinstein was considered one of the founders of the Russian conceptualism movement, an avant-garde fusion of art and prose that thumbed its nose at the restrictions of the Socialist Realism that predominated in the 1970s and ’80s. One of his contributions to the movement was genre- ... More

Leave the poor princess alone
NEW YORK, NY.- There she is in her pink suit, pearl earrings and feathered shag. There she is with her upcast eyes, unknowable sorrow and perfect sympathy. There she is, that candle in the wind someone keeps relighting. Though killed in a car crash in 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales, turns up everywhere today, in plays, on television, in movies and even musicals. She’s entertainment gold: the perfect combo of stardom, tragedy and unanswerability. Which makes her, like a Dickens novel, public domain. In the last two years alone, I’ve spent more time with her than I did in the 36 she was alive. I saw her in a play called “Casey and Diana,” produced by the Stratford Festival in Ontario and now available to stream on Stratfest@Home. She was a spectral presence off-Broadway in “Dodi & Diana,” a marital drama that hijacked her story to lend oomph to its own. ... More

The Weatherspoon Art Museum presents the work of contemporary artist Lalla Essaydi
GREENSBORO, NC.- The Weatherspoon Art Museum brings the work of contemporary artist Lalla Essaydi to the campus of UNC Greensboro this winter and spring. The exhibition Lalla Essaydi: Falk Visiting Artist runs January 20 through May 25, 2024, and the artist will give a public talk at the museum on April 4. Lalla Essaydi grew up in Morocco, studied in France, raised her children in Saudi Arabia, and now lives in the United States. Her art draws upon these varied cultural contexts and personal experiences to address the complex realities of contemporary Arab female lives. This exhibition features work from three of Essaydi’s compelling photographic series in which she grapples with the historical Western painting tradition of Orientalism and the ways it contributed to misconceptions about Arab women, as well as what it means today. In ... More

"Lubaina Himid: Lost Threads" opens at The Holburne Museum
BATH.- The Holburne Museum is presenting Lost Threads by Turner prize-winning artist Lubaina Himid CBE (b.1954). Lost Threads is one of Himid’s most expansive and dramatic works and has been installed in three locations across the museum. Weaving and flowing across the front façade and around the permanent collections, Lost Threads sees 400m of vibrant Dutch wax fabric pieces transform the spaces of the Holburne Museum. Reflecting the movement of the oceans and rivers that have been used to transport cotton, yarn and enslaved people throughout history, Lost Threads traces the paradoxes of textile production and circulation by engaging with its material implications. The vibrantly coloured and intricately patterned fabric in the installation dominates West African markets. It is now globally recognised ... More

"Revolutionary Times": A new exhibition on view at The Flint Institute of Arts Museum + Art School
FLINT, MICH.- The Flint Institute of Arts Museum + Art School presents a powerful new exhibition that challenges the status quo, featuring the work of artist and Detroit-native Mario Moore - Revolutionary Times. The exhibition will be on view through Sunday, April 14th in the FIA's Hodge and Temporary Exhibition galleries. "The FIA is excited to have Detroit artist Mario Moore's artwork on display in the museum," exclaims Rachael Holstege, FIA Associate Curator. "Not only does his work evoke important questions about history and its relation to our contemporary culture and politics but also directly ties to Michigan and its role in the Fur Trade, Underground Railroad, and the Civil War." Revolutionary Times draws from three bodies of work by Moore; presenting paintings, silverpoint drawings, and works on paper that focus on American ... More

Exhibition features work by artist Hung Liu alongside an amazing group of women artists she taught
OAKLAND, CALIF.- An exceptionally gifted educator, Hung Liu (1948-2021) was a vibrant and vital part of the artist community in the Bay Area and beyond. Just before her untimely death in 2021, Liu began conversations with MCAM to organize an exhibition showcasing the work of an amazing group of women artists that she taught and mentored during her tenure as a professor in the Mills College Art Department. This legacy exhibition is the realization of that idea and features the work of Rosana Castrillo Diaz, Nicole Fein, Danielle Lawrence, Monica Lundy, Nancy Mintz, Sandra Ono, Susan Preston, Mel Prest, Rachelle Reichert, Yoshiko Shimano, Gina Tuzzi, Lien Truong, and Bambi Waterman. Recognized as America’s most important Chinese artist, Hung Liu’s paintings mine her personal and cultural history to create artwork ... More

Sebastian Gladstone opens "Mimi Park "Treasure Hunt""
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Is simultaneity not simply a question of scale? Things often happen at the same time, but are magnitudes apart. To be simultaneous places more emphasis on an imagined shared present moment—yet things occur in varying scales of time, things occur despite or because of other occurrences, things are always occurring with or without each other. My friend Clara often tellsme this. “It’s always both,” she would say. Perhaps she meant it not in the sense that both must be true simultaneously, but that if both were in fact true, then we might be able to see things differently, see them to their full potential. Tender are the buttons that fasten us to one another, that fasten one occurrence to the next—aswe chat, they gather like dust in the corner of the room. Time melts away and settles in rings ofsediment as we consider what ... More
