NEW YORK, NY.- Investigators in New York City have seized 27 ancient artifacts valued at more than $13 million from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, asserting that the objects, acquired to showcase the glories of ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt, had all been looted. Some of the items passed through the hands of people long suspected to have trafficked antiquities, such as Gianfranco Becchina, who ran a gallery in Switzerland for decades before being investigated for illegal dealings by the Italian government in 2001. But most of the items had entered the Met’s collection long before Becchina was publicly accused of illicit activity. The items, seized under the terms of three separate search warrants executed during the past six months, will be returned to their countries of origin — 21 to Italy and six to Egypt — in ceremonies scheduled for next week. The events are part of a push by law enforcement officials to hasten the pace of repatriations that in the past often dragged on for a yea ... More
Dirck van Baburen (1595 Utrecht 1624), The Offering to Ceres. Circa 1621 (detail). Oil on canvas. 137 × 186,7 cm. CHF 500 000 / 800 000 | (€ 500 000 / 800 000).
ZURICH.- 'The Offering to Ceres', a striking large-format painting in the manner of Caravaggio, will be featured in the Old Master Paintings auction on 23 September at Koller. The artist, Dirck van Baburen, was part of a contingent of early 17th-century Dutch artists who made a pilgrimage to Rome to view Caravaggio's works, and brought the master's unique style back to their native Holland, where they would influence a generation of artists including Rembrandt and Vermeer (lot 3029, CHF 500 000/800 000). From the same period, a painting by Denijs van Alsloot and workshop depicts a grand feast organised for the Archduke Albrecht VII of Austria and Isabella Clara Eugenia of Spain (lot 3050, CHF 150 000/250 000). Two particularly attractive winter scenes will be offered in the 23 September auction, a roundel by Adriaen Pietersz. van de Venne (lot 3020, CHF 300 000/400 000), and a view of a town with a frozen river by Joos de Momper the Yo ...

Adolph Gottlieb, Untitled, 1974. Monotype in ink on paper, 22-1/4" × 15-1/4" (56.5 cm × 38.7 cm), paper 17-3/4" × 12" (45.1 cm × 30.5 cm), plate.
EAST HAMPTON NY.- On view from September 1 to 11, the show brings together a selection of monotypes which are among the last pieces created by Gottlieb. With these unique works, some of which were made in Gottlieb’s studio in East Hampton, the influential New York School artist explored a new medium while maintaining his distinct visual vocabulary. Gottlieb, who began summering in East Hampton in 1958 and purchased a property in the town in 1960, forged a strong connection to the East End creative community in the later years of his life and career. Pace’s presentation of his work in East Hampton spotlights a selection of monotypes from a series he began in the spring of 1973 and continued until shortly before his death in 1974. Using a press to make his monotypes, Gottlieb was able to dedicate himself to these intimate works in his final months. The artist’s interest in polarity and balance is evident in his monotypes, which featur ... More

SAN ANSELMO, CA .-Garvey|Simon announced its inaugural exhibition in the new California gallery space, Reality Check: Shifting Perspectives, on view from August 30 - October 29, 2022. Each of the artists in this group exhibition explores and disrupts the way we process our surroundings. Whether it be through subtle, controlled deployment of their medium, or bombastic and destabilizing confluences of imagery, this wide array of artistic modes comes together to present a prismatic and ever-evolving challenge to what is seen and known. Reality Check: Shifting Perspectives features work by Dozier Bell, Daisy Craddock, Joshua Flint, Margot Glass, Jane Hammond, Jenifer Kent, Kacper Kowalski, Lori Larusso, Emil Lukas, David Morrison, Julia Randall, and Mary Reilly.

NEW YORK, NY.-Carolee Schneemann: Body Politics is the first survey in the UK of the work of Schneemann (1939–2019) and the first major exhibition since her death. Tracing Schneemann’s diverse, transgressive, and interdisciplinary work over six decades, the show celebrates an artist who remains a feminist icon and point of reference for many contemporary artists and thinkers. With over 300 objects, the exhibition draws from the Schneemann Foundation as well as numerous private and public collections, bringing together paintings, sculptural assemblages, performance photographs, films, and large-scale multimedia installations, as well as rarely seen archival material including scores, sketches, scrapbooks, and costumes. This exhibition—curated by Lotte Johnson, and running from September 8, 2022 through January 8, 2023—positions Schneemann as one of the most relevant, provocative and inspiring artists of the last c ...

An undated photo provided by Melinda Blauvelt via the High Museum of Art shows the artist Nellie Mae Rowe in Vinings, Ga., in 1971, after she turned her small four-room house and its yard into a work of environmental installation art that she called the Playhouse. The full force of Rowe’s achievement is revealed as never before in “Really Free: The Radical Art of Nellie Mae Rowe” at the Brooklyn Museum, the most extensive survey of her work yet realized, the New York Times critic Roberta Smith writes. (Melinda Blauvelt/High Museum of Art via The New York Times.
by Roberta Smith
NEW YORK, NY.- If you’ve paid any attention to that roiling mass of talent variously known over the past century as folk, naive, primitive, art brut, self-taught or outsider, chances are you’ve come across the infectious creations of Nellie Mae Rowe (1900-1982). They rivet the eye with bright, dense colors; ingenious patterns and thickets of line; and buoyant, sometimes bulbous figures and animals. Arranged in the topsy-turvy manner of a patchwork quilt, these elements fill the page and push forward with an energy that is both modern and primal. Rowe’s materials were modest — felt-tip and ballpoint pens; pencils and colored pencils; and, above all, crayons, with which she achieved an unusual magnificence: solid planes of brilliant color that give so many of her drawings the power of paintings. Perhaps one or two of Rowe’s works on paper have stuck in your memory, such as her nearly hallucinatory “Untitled (Pig on Expressway)” (1980), in which a porker with dainty wh ... More

by Ted Loos
NEW YORK, NY.- On a hot day in July, pioneering film and video maker Charles Atlas seemed a little anxious about his latest sprawling piece, “The Mathematics of Consciousness,” opening Sept. 9 at Pioneer Works, the nonprofit cultural center in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It is one of his largest installations, projecting multiple moving images across a 100-foot-long brick wall lined with windows, and ranks as “the most challenging” of his career, said Atlas, 73, sporting his signature bright orange sideburns, a longtime signifier of his downtown ethos. “I’ve been in a bad mood about this piece,” he said, sitting at a computer in the long, narrow space as he tested out combinations of videos and tried to sync them up elegantly. “I’m less worried now, but I don’t know how it’s going to turn out.” Asked how long he would be making changes to the work, he replied, “What time do we open?” — meaning that it could be truly last-minute.

COPENHAGEN.-Galleri Bo Bjerggaard is presenting the exhibition Wandelstern, featuring new works by the German/Brazilian artist Janaina Tschäpe. This is Tschäpe’s fifth solo exhibition at Galleri Bo Bjerggaard. Tschäpe reimagines the traditions of landscape painting and self-portraiture to explore the personal and universal experience of nature. With each of her paintings, Tschäpe carves out a space in which the sensations of nature—the first light of dawn, the morning dew, and gathering storms—can resurface. Tschäpe created the series of large-scale paintings at Galleri Bo Bjerggaard from her studio in Brooklyn, New York as the restrictions of COVID-19 lifted from the city. Stepping out into the world, Tschäpe would return to paint intuitively from memory, asking herself, “how do you paint that movement or that atmosphere at the end of an afternoon in the summer and the feeling of that?” Even at their most abstract, T ...

SAN ANTONIO, TX.-Presa House welcomes Dallas artist Ari Brielle and Brooklyn-based artist Rossana Romero. The exhibitions will remain on view by appointment through September 24, 2022.
I don't know my body anymore. Although, in reality, through ongoing research and countless failed visits to the doctor, I know it better than I ever have, and yet it doesn't feel like mine. Its equilibrium is out of my reach. Basic pleasures, like eating and touch, are oftentimes painful. Many women (particularly Black women) are affected by endometriosis, including generations on my mom's side. In fact, Black women and femmes experience a myriad of reproductive issues at higher rates than non-Black people. And given that gynecology was created through the exploitation of non-consenting enslaved African women, seeking care as a Black woman is inherently difficult. 27 is a site-specific installation that combines sound, painting, drawing, and photography.

For the first time in the United Arab Emirates, forty vintage photographs and four original albums by the most prominent photographers working in Italy between 1850 and 1890 are being exhibited, allowing viewers to experience the beauty and grandeur of Italy's scenic history. Visitors will enjoy the nostalgia of “must-see” tour destinations in famous cities such as Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples, Pompeii, Palermo, Taormina, and others. Curated by Michele Bonuomo and Mara Firetti, the exhibition includes the great works of legendary photographers such as Alfred Noack, Carlo Naja, Leopoldo Alinari, Giacomo Brogi, Alphonse Bernoud, Edmond Behles, Robert Rive, Giorgio Sommer, and Gioacchino Altobelli, James (Domenico) Anderson, Robert MacPherson, Giacomo Caneva, Antonio, and Paolo Francesco D’Alessandri, Gio ...

Bijayini Satpathy, a virtuoso of Odissi, one of India’s eight classical dance forms, rehearses her new solo, “Doha,” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Aug. 26, 2022. The Odissi dancer is moving past her roots to find a creative spark in the galleries of the Met. Olivia Galli/The New York Times.
NEW YORK, NY.- For more than 20 years, Bijayini Satpathy flourished in a community of fellow dancers, guided by the choreographic vision of another artist. When she, at 45, left the comfort of that creative bubble to find her own voice as a dance maker, the rupture from her former life was complete, and painful. She had to remake herself as an artist, almost from scratch. But out of this rupture, Satpathy said in a video call from India, a great freedom has emerged, an opening to something new. “It’s just terrifying,” she said of this new phase of her creativity. “I’m constantly changing my mind. But it keeps me constantly engaged in the land of discovery.” The past few years have been a period of profound transformation for Satpathy, long considered a great virtuoso of Odissi, one of India’s eight classical dance forms. (Choreographer Mark Morris has called her one of the world’s great dancers, full stop.) Now 49, she is entering a new phase in her relationshi ... More
Kati Liiri and Jussi Aspivaara at the Midgardsblot festival, which takes place on a Viking burial ground and includes seminars on Viking culture, in Borre, Norway, Sept. 19, 2022. The band Heilung, which puts a heavy metal twist on the music of pre-Christian Europe, played from their new album “Drif,” their third, in a replica Viking feast hall at the festival. David B. Torch/The New York Times.
BORRE.- “We have vegan potato salad in the medium cauldron,” Maria Franz announced to the 17 members of Heilung, her folk metal band, as they gathered around a campfire here recently. The band was celebrating the release of its third album, “Drif,” at Midgardsblot, a festival that takes place on a Viking burial ground and also includes seminars on Viking culture for an audience of campers, many of whom were dressed up in tunics and cloaks. Earlier that day, festivalgoers joined the band to listen to the new album while sitting on the floor of a replica Viking feast hall rigged up with a speaker system. It was the perfect setting for Heilung, whose work over the past eight years has put a heavy metal twist on the music of pre-Christian Europe. Working with a team of researchers and performing on replica instruments from the period, Heilung produces music that its members describe as “amplified history.” Heilung takes its lyrics from historical texts, like runic ins ...

NEW YORK, NY.-ART FOR CHANGE, a leading art platform for the socially conscious collector, presents a new collection of hand-embellished and signed and numbered limited edition prints from six Latinx artists, including Danielle De Jesus, Larissa De Jesús Negrón, Lucia Hierro, José Lerma, Devin Osorio, and Jean-Pierre Villafañe. The Latinx focus of the series echoes the Armory Show’s broader focus on the work of Latinx artists, underscoring this remarkable moment in the fair’s four decade history.

Original acrylic and screenprint on canvas by Warhol to be offered at MBA Seattle Auction House RENTON, WASH.- An Andy Warhol original acrylic and screenprint on canvas titled Flowers (1965), plus vibrant original artworks by Alden Mason, Morris Graves, Dale Chihuly, Z. Z. Wei, Kenjiro Nomura and other art world notables will come up for bid in an online-only Modernism: Art and Object auction scheduled for Thursday, September 29th, by MBA Seattle Auction House. “This is one of the finest groupings of Modern artworks, objects and Northwest Modernism we’ve had to date,” said Michael Mroczek, an auctioneer with MBA Seattle Auction House. Warhol’s Flowers is the undisputed headliner of the auction, with a robust but appropriate pre-sale estimate of $200,000-$400,000.

Galeria Jaqueline Martins Sao Paulo opens an exhiition of works by Adriano Amaral SAO PAULO.- The work of Adriano Amaral is sustained by an intuitive equilibrium between the contemplation of matter and its radical manipulation. From subjective triggers and a meticulous study of the formal properties of things and certain objects the artist’s questioning is taken to its ultimate consequences, through laboratorial, highly technical processes that establish associations between universal elements — present since the birth of mankind — and materials and methods that are linked to the most advanced technology. The result is a remaking of the world as we know it. Inner Pond brings us works of a singular nature which embrace some of the artist’s most intimate and personal experiences of recent years, adding much to his artistic practice. From his return to his homeland; his rural life on the farm of his ancestors; and from the transformations he experiences as he becomes a father for the first time, he creates works which reflect on his observation of earthly pheno ...

Priska Pasquer Gallery opens Jane Benson: Re-Assembly COLOGNE.- Jane Benson is known for her interventions into found objects, literature and works of art reconfiguring them into questioning recompositions. In Re-Assembly, her current exhibition at Galerie Priska Pasquer, the artist explores a prevalent illusionist trend. You may have already noticed: artificial plants are in vogue. In the past, they were frowned upon, considered as bad taste par excellence. But today, copies decorate living rooms and offices appearing deceptively real. Only after repeated looking (and feeling) can the deception be revealed. Nature is not only represented, but imitated, whereby reality and fiction merge in such a way that they become indistinguishable. In Re-Assembly, Benson puts the artificially created experience of the real to the test by transforming the gallery space into a minimal oasis. However, at second glance, the seemingly natural scenery reveals itself to be artificial in a double sense. The flor ... More
Lehmann Maupin opens an exhibition of new work by pioneering Chicago-based artist McArthur Binion SEOUL.-Lehmann Maupin presents DNA:Study/(Visual:Ear), an exhibition of new work by pioneering Chicago-based artist McArthur Binion (b. 1946, Macon, MS) at the gallery’s newly expanded Seoul location. Binion has for decades undertaken a careful and innovative exploration of abstraction, suggesting its unique capacity to both obscure and reveal aspects of identity. Highlighting the depth of the artist’s practice, the Seoul presentation marks Binion’s fifth solo exhibition with the gallery and features new paintings from two of his most evocative bodies of work, DNA and Visual Ear. Across his practice, Binion engages with hallmarks of Minimalism and Conceptualism—grids, serial forms, and repetition all operate as strategic devices in the artist’s work. Crucially, however, where many Minimalist and Conceptual artists valued these compositional tactics for their informational, supposedly neutral qualities, Binion ... More

Archie Roach, who lived and sang the Aboriginal blues, dies at 66 NEW YORK, NY.- One day in 1970, Archie Cox’s high school English class in Melbourne, Australia, was interrupted by a voice from the intercom: “Could Archibald William Roach come to the office?” An uncanny feeling took hold of 14-year-old Archie: This name, which he had no recollection of, he somehow knew to be his own. A letter to Archibald William Roach awaited him. It announced that Nellie Austin, a name he had never heard, was his mother, and that she had just died. His father and namesake was dead, too, the letter said. It was signed by Myrtle Evans, who identified herself as his sister. Within a year, Archie had dropped out of school, abandoned Dulcie and Alex Cox — who, he realized, were his foster parents — and embarked on a quest to discover who he really was. He spent years without a home. He was imprisoned on burglary charges twice. He tried to kill himself. All the while, he kept bumping into revelations about his family and why he had been taken away from them ... More

Awol Erizku now represented by Sean Kelly NEW YORK, NY.- Awol Erizku’s multi-disciplinary practice encompasses photography, sculpture, painting, and installation to shape a visual language which operates at the intersection of image making and a wider cultural context. Utilizing visual language from African and Black American cultures, Erizku’s work rejects Eurocentric notions of beauty and art history in favor of building his own unique Afrocentric aesthetic, one he refers to as “Afro-esotericism.” Rather than convey any singular entity or narrative, he explores the intersections of ancient mythology, diasporic tradition, and contemporary culture, through his symbolic constellation of images spanning a diverse breadth of media. Often incorporating hip-hop and Trap vernaculars as a springboard for making new connections and meanings, Erizku draws on multiple aesthetic sources including African art, assemblage, realism, conceptual art, and performance. By taking an all-encompassing approach to object and experience making, ... More

On a day like today, German artist Oskar Schlemmer was born
June 04, 1888. Oskar Schlemmer (4 September 1888 - 13 April 1943) was a German painter, sculptor, designer and choreographer associated with the Bauhaus school. In 1923, he was hired as Master of Form at the Bauhaus theatre workshop, after working at the workshop of sculpture. His most famous work is Triadisches Ballett (Triadic Ballet), which saw costumed actors transformed into geometrical representations of the human body in what he described as a "party of form and colour". In this image: Costumes from Schlemmer's Triadisches Ballett (1922).
