CAMBRIDGE, MASS.- The Harvard Art Museums announced the gift of Light-Relief (1960), a large-scale sculpture by internationally renowned artist Heinz Mack (b. 1931). The work—a generous gift made by the artist’s recently established Mack Foundation in Germany—has entered the collection of the Busch-Reisinger Museum, one of the Harvard Art Museums’ three constituent museums. The hand-embossed aluminum work is a cornerstone of Mack’s oeuvre and an example of his material experimentation during his involvement with ZERO (active 1957–1966), an influential artist collective that originated in Düsseldorf with Mack and his co-founder, Otto Piene, before expanding across Europe to form a larger network. “Light-Relief is one of Mack’s earliest experiments with light articulation. In this work, light itself becomes the medium by way of the artist’s manipulation of industrially fabricated foil to create a broad pattern of horizontal and angled striations,” said Lyn ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Nahmad Contemporary and Skarstedt will present a focused retrospective of Georges Rouault (1871–1958) for the Independent 20th Century, on view September 4–7, 2025, at Casa Cipriani in the historic Battery Maritime Building. Spanning nearly half a century, from 1908 to 1953, the presentation brings together twenty paintings by the French modernist, offering a rare opportunity to experience the full arc of Rouault’s singular career and uncompromising vision. A pivotal yet often overlooked figure, Rouault occupies a distinct place in the history of twentieth-century art. Trained by Symbolist master Gustave Moreau and initially associated with Expressionism and Fauvism, Rouault ultimately forged his own path, developing an inimitable style marked by bold, black contours, radiant color, and a profound reverence for the spiritual and the dispossessed. His ... More
Magali Reus.
ZURICH.- Mai 36 Galerie announced the representation of Magali Reus (*1981, The Hague, NL, lives and works in London, UK). Magali Reus’s sculptures subtly evoke the forms of everyday machines, appliances, or tools, yet their function and identity remain deliberately ambiguous. She reproduces, layers, and repeats visual elements in meticulously crafted works that involve complex techniques such as casting, moulding, CNC milling, and metalwork, placing the stark uniformity of industrial production in dialogue with the slow precision of craftsmanship. Oversized or imitative forms and objects might therefore be said to be performing and so linked with conversations of camp, of sexuality or gender. Hovering between handmade and mechanical processes, her practice destabilizes conventional readings of materiality and objecthood. Reus’ recent latest works have a deepened interest in ecology and systems of production, considering the tensions between constructed nature, high ... More
Jackie Gendel, Liliput, 2010, oil on canvas, 48' x 36".
NEWPORT, RI.- The Redwood Library & Athenaeum announces the opening of Recreation Myths, Jackie Gendel’s first museum exhibition, comprising seventeen paintings from the past two decades. The exhibition, titled by the artist, refers to the possibilities of painting as a medium with which to think through creation, self-creation, and the mediation of self in contemporary culture. In these paintings, Gendel asks in different ways, and from different angles: “Is one free to create the self, or is one always scaffolded?” The architectural metaphor which structures her language equally shapes her work, which unfolds in the shadows of the avant-garde city, in an interim space between inside and outside, private and public. For Gendel, the notion of “creation myths” refers less to ancient or archetypal cultural narratives than to the ideal of self-creation that runs from Socrates to the “self-made” subject of American democracy. If Gendel’s title implies that private self-creation is a myth, it may be bec ... More
LONDON.- In the autumn of 2025, the National Gallery will present Wright of Derby: From the Shadows, the first exhibition dedicated to Joseph Wright ‘of Derby’ (1734–1797) at the National Gallery, and the first exhibition to focus on his ‘candlelight’ series. The exhibition is organised in partnership with Derby Museums, where it will travel in 2026. Following on from recent exhibitions such as Turner on Tour (2022) and Discover Constable & The Hay Wain (2024), this exhibition will put the spotlight on a well-known British artist in the National Gallery Collection whose work has come to symbolise an era. Traditionally, Wright of Derby has been viewed as a figurehead of the Enlightenment, a period of scientific, philosophical and artistic development in the 17th and 18th century. Challenging this conventional view, the exhibition contributes to the ongoing re-evaluation of the artist, portraying him not merely as a ‘painter of light’ but ... More
1889-CC $1 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. VAM-3.
DALLAS, TX.- One of the greatest Morgan dollar finds of modern times will bring 35 previously unknown 1889-CC Morgan dollars, each in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, to the podium in Heritage’s ANA U.S. Coins Signature® Auction August 26-31. The Desert Find of 1889-CC Morgan Dollars features 35 Mint State 1889-CC Morgans, many of which are Prooflike to Deep Mirror Prooflike. Considering the Desert Find features coins that were set aside more than half a century ago by a family in Nevada, from whom they are consigned today, it is no surprise that the grades on the included coins are exceptional. The coins appear to have been put into paper rolls, dated January 1957, and put away — quite possibly unseen since the 1950s or early 1960s. The find includes 35 coins that came from two tubes, each of which originally held 20. The whereabouts of the remaining five coins is unknown. “I got chills reading the report over and over, and couldn’t wait to see them in person,” says Greg ... More

SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- The Museum of Craft and Design (MCD) has announced that Nora Atkinson, Executive Director, has informed MCD’s Board of Directors (the Board) of her intent to resign from her position. Atkinson has made the difficult decision to step down from her role due to personal considerations.

We are thankful for her contributions to MCD and wish her well." Atkinson told the Board, “I’ve been honored to serve as Executive Director of this brilliant institution ... More
A vivid time capsule of Depression-era consumerism, with more than 800 vintage ads, it reveals how Madison Avenue didn’t just sell products—it sold hope, glamor, and the great American dream.
NEW YORK, NY.- Step (or jitterbug) into the dazzling world of 1930s American advertising, where bold promises, slick design, and more than a touch of wishful thinking kept the country dreaming through the Great Depression. While wallets tightened, creativity soared—glossy magazine pages teemed with cheerful, colorful ads selling everything from beauty creams to Hawaiian vacations, all wrapped in an air of optimism that defied the hard times. At the dawn of the decade, the sleek, modernist aesthetics of European avant-garde design shook up the industry, introducing stylized, symbolic, and even abstract ads that emphasized visuals over words. But as reality set in, admen pivoted to a more hard-sell approach, favoring bold headlines, big promises, and down-to-earth pitches that resonated with a nation struggling to get by. Irony and subtlety had ... More
ESPOO.- EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art will unveil a new public artwork on Espoo Day, 30 August. The commissioned piece by sculptor Pekka Jylhä will enrich the sculpture park in front of the Exhibition Centre WeeGee, inviting both museum visitors and passers-by to encounter art outside the cultural hub. Created in collaboration with the City of Espoo, the new work will become part of the museum’s own EMMA Collection. In addition to the museum and the City of Espoo, the piece has been funded by the Saastamoinen Foundation. A new addition to the Exhibition Centre WeeGee’s sculpture park will be unveiled in early autumn. The Rope Dancer (2025), by sculptor Pekka Jylhä (b. 1955), reflects on the uncertainty of the present and the future, portraying a delicate yet courageous figure balancing through the turbulence of the world. The striking six-metre-tall sculpture will be installed on the park side of the courtyard, at the corner of Leikki – The Museum of Play and the Finnis ... More
Tseng Chien-Ying, Oracle, 2025, ink and color on paper, mineral pigments, 163 x 125 cm (64 1/8 x 49 1/4 in).
HONG KONG.- Kiang Malingue presents at Frieze Seoul a selection of recent works on paper by Taiwanese artist Tseng Chien-Ying. Drawn from several celebrated series, the paintings are the latest development of the artist's deepened exploration of recurrent themes and subjects over the last decade, demonstrating his ability to astutely reflect contemporary life by transforming classical artistic techniques. Tseng’s ink brush and gouache paintings are known for examining and splicing highly personal subjects and religious motifs. His works are often informed by the iconography of Buddhist art to imbue his characters with solemn, dignified, and meditative expressions, in an array of psychedelic colours to create a strange, disharmonious atmosphere. Tseng’s figures occupy the compositions by discovering an eerily spiritual dimension of contemporary life, revealing ambiguous emotions ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- MAKiNG iT: an intimate documentary of the seattle indie, rock & punk scene, 1992–2008 by Bootsy Holler (Damiani Books, 2025) is a photographic time capsule and an emotional romp through the Seattle soundscape from 1992 to 2008. An avid fan of Seattle’s music scene during the late 1990s and early 2000s, photographer Bootsy Holler created a remarkable portfolio documenting the little-known bands who later defined a decade in music history as the world transitioned from celluloid to digital, grunge to indie. As a young artist, Holler captured live gigs, band portraits, backstage moments, rapt audiences and more, chronicling the formative years of artists such as Death Cab for Cutie, Fleet Foxes, Interpol, Macklemore, Modest Mouse, Gossip, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, along with Beck, Foo Fighters-Dave Grohl, Moby, Pearl Jam, ...

Tirana Art Lab presents Performative Exhibition #5: Lyhnida-The Lake of Light TIRANA.- Performative Exhibition #5: Lyhnida—The Lake of Light, a project by Tirana Art Lab curated by Adela Demetja & Fabio Toska, brought together artists, curators, and activists in the city of Pogradec, Albania for a one-week research residency, culminating in a public exhibition at the Pogradec Art Gallery. The initiative invited a collective reflection on the ecological, historical, and symbolic significance of Lake Ohrid—Europe’s oldest natural lake and a UNESCO-protected site—through newly created artistic works and shared conversations. The name of the project refers to Lychnidos (also spelled Lyhnida or Lychnida), the ancient name of the city of Ohrid, now in North Macedonia. The word Lychnidos derives from the Greek lychnos, meaning "lamp" or "light," referring to the clarity and shimmer of Lake Ohrid beside which the city is located. The participating artists ... More

Studio Notes: A new exhibition explores the heart of artistic creation MUMBAI.- Sakshi Gallery presents Studio Notes which brings a range of diverse artistic practices to the fore. Spanning both the abstract and figurative, the selection of works foreground process and materiality that remain at the core of artistic making, while reflecting on conceptual concerns from the autobiographical to the temporal. Works by artists such as Ankush Safaya, Chetnaa and Teja Gavankar offer quiet reflections of mark-making, often employing geometry, architecture and space as a means to distill these observations. Ankush draws on extracts from texts and interweaves them with personal reflections, evoking layered memories. Chetnaa examines the landscape of cities; observations of the metropolis are then translated into an eloquent schematic of lines, markers and grids. Teja Gavankar explores the possibility of space, exploring the interplay between ... More
Grandpa's forgotten coin worth $3-5 million, shocks experts COSTA MESA, CA.- The 1804 dollar—long revered as the “King of American Coins”—has captivated collectors and historians for nearly two centuries. Initially struck exclusively for diplomatic distribution, including to the King of Siam (Thailand) and the Sultan of Muscat in modern Oman, collectors clamored for examples of this renowned rarity even before the Civil War. Several books have been published about this coin alone, and the census of the 15 known specimens has been gospel for generations. Until now. Hidden from view in a mostly forgotten collection since the 1940s, this newly discovered 16th specimen is forecast to bring millions of dollars at auction. It will be displayed for the first time ever by rare coin auction house Stack’s Bowers Galleries at the biggest rare coin gathering in the world, the American Numismatic Association’s World’s Fair of Money™, to be held next ...
