AMSTERDAM.- The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam says it will return an Henri Matisse painting that has been in its collection since 1941 to the heirs of its former owner, a German-Jewish textile manufacturer and art patron who sold it to fund his family’s escape of the Netherlands’ Nazi occupation. The museum announced the return of the work, “Odalisque,” on Tuesday after the Amsterdam City Council received “binding advice” from the Dutch Restitutions Commission, a government committee that rules on cases of Nazi-looted art. The heirs said in a statement that the decision provided symbolic justice. “The Matisse underwent the same journey from Berlin to Amsterdam as our grandparents,” they said. “But it stopped there in the Stedelijk, with almost no acknowledgment from whence it came for 80 years.” ...

Galerie Michael Janssen opens 'Anders Kjellesvik's Conceptual Romance' BERLIN.- All of a sudden, a point detaches itself; like the nucleus of a cell, it grows, the colors are clustered around it, heaped; rays develop, shooting forth branches and twigs like ice crystals on the window panes…and the picture reveals itself to the viewer, who has assisted at the birth of the painting. — August Strindberg Anders Kjellesvik relates his material-based approach to August Strindberg's 'chance in artistic creation,' where the artist relinquishes control over the final result, allowing time and their surroundings to influence the character of the artwork. Similar to Strindberg’s celestographs—experimental paintings that the Swedish writer created by exposing light-sensitive plates to natural conditions—Kjellesvik utilizes pigment printing in combination with a slow painting process to observe how the materiality of the paint ...

Exhibition surveys the trailblazing practice of American painter Al Held LONDON.- White Cube presents ‘Al Held: About Space’, an exhibition surveying the trailblazing practice of American painter Al Held (1928–2005). Bringing together masterworks from across his five-decade career, the selection reveals the extent to which Held realised novel modes of form, space and colour, navigating spatial complexity through a combination of hard-edged geometry and spontaneous gestural expression. Describing his work in a 1977 interview as ‘a space that is in constant flux, that is never at rest, that is relational’, [1] Held engaged in a continuous process of trial and reinvention, experimenting with scale, form, surface and colour to explore the potential of spatial abstraction. In the late 1940s, Held availed himself of the GI Bill to pursue his artistic studies, first enrolling at the Art Students League in New York then venturing ... More

Cover art for 'Harry Potter' sold at auction for $1.92 million NEW YORK, NY.- The original cover art for the first edition of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” sold for $1.92 million at auction on Wednesday, becoming the most expensive item related to the series, decades after its illustrator was paid a commission of just $650.
