MUNICH.- As a consequence of the Russian invasion and the ongoing war in the Ukraine, Germany‘s leading auction house Ketterer Kunst hast stopped doing business with clients in Russia. “In the face of the dramatic events, we can‘t just stand inactively on the sideline.

Tavares graduated in Visual Arts at FAAP – Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado (1982).
ROME.- Born in Belo Horizonte; she lives and works in São Paulo, Brazil. Ana Maria Tavares studies the strained relationships of the different components that build our society. In her multimedia installations, prints, sculptures or videos, the artist combines materials such as marble, aluminum, stainless steel, glass, and paint, resulting in a visual experience that is both sublime and meditative. Her works’ highly polished exterior belies a profound critical introspection of seemingly utopian realities that yearn to achieve greater resolve. Opulent natural scenes, architectural landscapes, areal depictions, and calculated use of poignant words are only some of the symbolic elements used by the artist to express an underlying dichotomy between the world we co-exist in today and another we should endeavor to build for our future. Always fascinated by industrial modes of production the artist has, for many decades, ... More

Louisiana opens the first large-scale retrospective in Scandinavia of the work of Diane Arbus HUMLEBÆK.-Louisiana presents the first large-scale retrospective in Scandinavia of legendary American photographer Diane Arbus (1923-1971). In a career that lasted little more than fifteen years, Arbus produced a body of work whose style and content have secured her a place as one of the most significant artists of the 20th century. The direct, even confrontational, gaze of the individuals in her photographs remains bracing to our eyes still today – provoking recognition, empathy and unease. The striking black and white photographs of Diane Arbus revolutionized portraiture, through their range of subjects and their style. Primarily made in and around New York City, Arbus selected her subjects – including couples, children, nudists, suburban families, circus performers, and celebrities, among others – for their singularity. “I would like to photograph ...
