LAS VEGAS, NEV.- The Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum, Nevada’s only single-artist museum, offers the “Porcelain Enamel Fired on Metal” series, a collection of dynamic works by American artist Rita Deanin Abbey that reveals her mastery of a unique and demanding medium. This series, spanning from 1984 to 2006, is a testament to Abbey's ability to transfer painterly techniques to new materials. The pieces are characterized by the intensity and luminous quality of the fused glass on steel, with Abbey combining the viscous textures of impasto with transparent, layered applications of color. She frequently juxtaposed these fired enamels with hammered relief carvings to create a sense of depth and spatial dynamism. The development of the series was a long-held desire for Abbey, dating back to 1967 when she was utterly inspired by Stefan Knapp's 50-foot-by-200-foot fused glass on steel mural. She dedicated a sabbatical year to studying the technique, an experience that allowed her to explore the me ... More

VIENNA.- Repressed, forgotten, celebrated: the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna is presenting the most comprehensive exhibition to date of the Flemish Baroque painter Michaelina Wautier (c.1614–1689) – one of the most important rediscoveries in recent art history. Following in the tradition of Rubens and Van Dyck, she is rightly celebrated for her brilliant brushwork, her versatility, her wide range of pictorial themes, and the self-assurance with which she depicted male bodies and their anatomy, which was extraordinary for a female painter of her time. ‘Michaelina Wautier is one of the most significant rediscoveries in art history. The Kunsthistorisches Museum is showing work that has been overlooked or misattributed to others for centuries’, says Jonathan Fine, Director General of the Kunsthistorisches Museum. Almost all of Wautier’s surviving works are now being presented in Vienna for the first time, including paintings that have never before ... More
Kara Walker, The Emancipation Aproximation. Scene #18, 2000. MACA. Colección Michael Jenkins y Javier Romero.
VALENCIA.- The Institut Valencià d’Art Modern (IVAM) opens a new chapter this autumn under the direction of Blanca de la Torre with two exhibitions: Kara Walker. Burning Village and Inhabiting the Shadows. Conceived as parallel yet interwoven projects—one a solo presentation, the other a group show—both employ the notion of shadow as a conceptual tool to address identity, memory, and violence. At first glance, the reliance on black and white might seem like a formal simplification or a rhetorical device within the curatorial narrative. Yet this choice stems from a deeper impulse: memory’s resistance to categorization, evoked here as a metaphor for black-and-white imaginaries. Inhabiting the Shadows, curated by Blanca de la Torre and Rosa Castells, brings together regional, national, and international artists including Douglas Gordon, Rachel Whiteread, Berta Cáccamo, Paz Errázuriz, Thomas Ruff, Louise Bourgeois, ...

Ruth Vollmer, Walking Ball, 1959. Bronze 18 x 37 x 14 inches (46 x 94 x 36 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- Tilton Gallery presents an exhibition of the sculpture and drawings of Ruth Vollmer, an influential force in abstract art of the sixties and seventies when she showed with Betty Parsons. Jack Tilton represented her estate since he opened in 1983. Ruth Vollmer was as much of an individualist and free thinker as her dealer, Betty Parsons. Born in 1903 in Munich, Germany, she came from an intellectual Jewish family, surrounded by discussions about music, literature, science and art. She and her husband, a physician, came to the United States in 1935 where she worked as a designer for many years and became a dedicated artist later in life. She was an influential figure in the circle around Betty Parsons Gallery and was given seven solo shows from 1960 to 1979. It seemed natural as she became part of the New York art world to hold her own version of the European salon, frequent dinners for fellow artists and art world people. Close to Parsons in age, like her, she surrounded ... More

LONDON.- Gagosian will participate in the 2025 edition of Frieze London with a presentation of new works by Lauren Halsey. Born in South Central Los Angeles and based there, Halsey is known for large-scale works and immersive installations that draw on the histories, architecture, social contexts, and vernacular poetics of her community. Her practice positions the people, institutions, public spaces, everyday objects, and colloquial symbols of her upbringing and present as critical nodes in the creative place-making strategies of these neighborhoods. She places their expressive cultures and designs into a dynamic exchange with Afro-diasporic mythologies, funk music and aesthetics, personal memory, and collective history. Ultimately, she provides viewers with new ways of imagining and experiencing the plenitude and vibrancy of Black life. Halsey’s installation for Frieze is an ensemble of several components. In the center, a six-foot-tall plaza sign honors the textual iconography, color pal ... More

PARIS.- Through the perspectives of the Indigenous Peoples of the Amazon, the exhibition sheds new light on a region often reduced to the stereotype of an exotic nature disconnected from the contemporary world. Resulting from a double curatorship, the exhibition focuses on the concepts of creations and futures from the point of view of its inhabitants. The richness and diveristy of Amazonian arts are also brought to light through a dialogue between the collections of the musée du quai Branly and the works of contemporary Indigenous artists. An important place is given to intangible heritage and ephemeral arts : oral traditions (music, songs, linguistic diversity, etc.), body painting, drawings and graphics expressions, and traditional knowledge. According to Amazonian mythologies, the world emerges from a constant process of transformation, rooted in the continuity of a cycle, and the extension of what previously existed. Unlike Western scientific ... More

Auction, Pascal Bonitzer's high-verve Parisian art world saga opens Oct. 29 at Film Forum NEW YORK, NY.- Film Forum will present the US theatrical premiere of Pascal Bonitzer’s Auction, starring Alex Lutz and Léa Drucker, on Wednesday, October 29. When star Parisian auctioneer André (Lutz) learns that a long-lost Egon Schiele painting looted by Nazis is hanging in a small town worker’s home, he pays a visit and verifies its authenticity… as well as its iniquitous wartime provenance. A race to navigate the thorny art world collides with a triangle of players including André’s mendacious intern, his savvy ex-wife/art appraiser (Drucker), and the earnest worker caught unawares in a moral dilemma. Bonitzer—a former Cahiers du Cinéma critic and screenwriter for André Téchiné, Jacques Rivette, Raoul Peck, and others—gamely skewers the absurdities of the big money art market while converging historical and moral questions with welcome optimism.

"The analphabetic school of Biagioli" LU E CUCCARO.- Saturday, October 4 from 11:00 AM. On the occasion of the 21st Day of Contemporary Art, promoted by A.M.A.C.I., Nisolina Art Space is pleased to present a retrospective exhibition dedicated to the artistic journey of the International Artist “Filippo Biagioli”. The exhibition will display selected works from various moments of his creative career; most of the artworks will be pieces belonging to the Analphabetic Art movement. A smaller section will introduce visitors to another facet of his identity - known by a limited audience - Novies Lucens, revealing his work as an esoteric artist. The term “Analphabeta” is used when Biagioli creates pictorial works, whether on canvas or walls, through an immediate approach and a great expressive freedom, free from preconceptions and from the rules of conventional childish representation, referring to a time when humans had not yet been “educated” by the norms of our society. His representations are inspired by everyd ... More
