Dorothea Lange's innovative approach to portraiture explored in exhibition

Dorothea Lange, White Angel Breadline, San Francisco, California, 1933. Gelatin silver print. Image/sheet: 34 x 26.5 cm (13 3/8 x 10 7/16 in.) mat: 20 x 16 in. frame (outside): 21 x 17 in.

WASHINGTON, DC.- During her prolific and groundbreaking career, the American photographer Dorothea Lange (1895–1965) made some of the most iconic portraits of the 20th century. Dorothea Lange: Seeing People examines Lange’s decades-long investigation into how portrait photography could embody the humanity of the people she depicted. It demonstrates how her photographs helped shape contemporary documentary practice by connecting everyday people with moments of history—from the Great Depression through the mid-1960s—that still resonate with our lives in the 21st century. Featuring 101 photographs, the exhibition addresses her innovative approaches to picturing people, emphasizing her work on various social issues including economic disparity, migration, poverty, and racism. The exhibition is on view from November 5, 2023, through March 31, 2024, in the West Building of the National Gallery of Art. “Throughout the course of her 50-year career, Lange created ... More

Andy Warhol, Mick Jagger.

NEW YORK, NY.- Have you ever had a family portrait commissioned? Or maybe asked the waiter at the restaurant to take a photo of the family? Were you busy making sure the waiter understood that the patriarch of the family was in charge, or that the children look well-mannered and educated? Maybe the ideas are transmitted in a royal photo but not as likely for the rest of us – particularly in a restaurant! Of course, there can be subtle social cues, but realistically this is not a priority in most family photos. In the 17th century, the family portrait was everything for well-to-do and socially prominent families. The extent to which symbolism was used to determine social standing, wealth, family quality and fertility is overwhelming and once you start to pick apart these beautiful and charming ... More

Amalia Mesa-Bains, Venus Envy II: The Virgin’s Garden, 1994 (detail). Mixed media installation; 180 x 120 x 72 in. Courtesy of the artist and Rena Bransten Gallery, San Francisco.

PHOENIX, ARIZ.- Phoenix Art Museum has unveiled a special-engagement exhibition Amalia Mesa-Bains: Archaeology of Memory, highlighting the artist’s signature large-scale altar-installations and lesser-known works. PhxArt will also host art talks inspired by Amalia Mesa-Bains: Archaeology of Memory. Organized by Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, Amalia Mesa- Bains: Archaeology of Memory is the first major retrospective to explore the historically significant work and career of Amalia Mesa-Bains, who has been heralded as a pioneer of feminist and Chicanx art. Mesa-Bains’ artistic contributions have been well recognized, including by a MacArthur “Genius” Grant in 1992. Archaeology of Memory brings together for the first time nearly 60 works created over 45 years, including the artist’s renowned altar- installations, in a long-overdue celebration of her enduring impact on contemporary art both within ...

BRUSSELS.- Rodolphe Janssen is exhibiting the first solo of Léon Wuidar exclusively focusing on works on paper. Opened on Thursday, 26 October 2023 at Livourne 32, VIEUX JEUX… dessins/tekeningen/drawings presents a selection of works on paper to continue the dialogue initiated at Art On Paper Brussels earlier in October. Léon Wuidar and the practice of drawing: Drawing is an integral part of Léon Wuidar’s artistic practice, but one rarely introduced to the public. Having first studied technical drawing at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Liège, he later became a professor, teaching drawing and graphic arts at the same institution for forty years. Drawing is constitutive to Léon Wuidar’s daily routine and takes a variety of forms: in the morning, he meticulously colours sketches in his preparatory notebooks, laying the foundations for the paintings that follow; he designs covers for his friends’ journals or magazines; a ...

MARFA, TX.- Mariposa Relámpago, a traveling installation created by the Salvadorian-born, New York-based transdisciplinary visual artist, choreographer, and healer Guadalupe Maravilla, makes its way across Texas in a series of exhibitions and sound activations presented by three leading institutions. Originally commissioned by the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston in May 2023, Guadalupe Maravilla: Mariposa Relámpago opened at Ballroom Marfa on November 4, 2023, before traveling to The Contemporary Austin’s Betty and Edward Marcus Sculpture Park at Laguna Gloria in April 2024 and commencing at the Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston in November 2024. Known for his intricately layered paintings, large-scale sculptures, and sound ceremonies, Guadalupe Maravilla’s expansive practice draws from his personal history and Central American ancestry.

Christie's announces Ombersley Court: The Collection of Lord and Lady Sandys   'Lost Mix Tapes' by Stephen Neidich featuring contorted rusted steel Venetian blinds on view at Wilding Cran Gallery   Can Humanities survive the budget cuts?


Exterior, Ombersley Court, Worcestershire. © Christie's Images Ltd 2023.

LONDON.- Christie’s will offer Ombersley Court: The Collection of Lord and Lady Sandys on 29 November 2023. The works in this historic collection tell the story of an English aristocratic family spanning five centuries. Many of the works of art were acquired or commissioned for Ombersley following the construction of the present house in the early eighteenth century, with others coming to the family by inheritance, and remained in situ during the tenure of the last Lord and Lady Sandys (d. 2013 and 2015). Following the sale of the house in 2017 and the gift of significant works to institutions – most recently Sir Thomas Lawrence’s portrait of Marcus Hill, 3rd Baron Sandys (1798-1863), to Historic Royal Palaces, Hillsborough Castle – 220 lots will be offered for sale, including Old Master Paintings, Furniture, Silver, Asian Art, Militaria and Decorative Arts.

Stephen Neidich, No One goes there anymore it’s too crowded, 2023. Unistrut, steel slats, nylon string, 82 x 57 x 89, in., 208.3 x 144.8 x 226.1 cm.

LOS ANGELES, CA.- Wilding Cran Gallery is now presenting Lost Mix Tapes, an exhibition of recent works by Los Angeles-based artist Stephen Neidich. Breaking away from his recent explorations of kinetic sculpture and installation, Stephen Neidich’s rusted steel Venetian blinds twist, contort, and snag though static interventions that remind us of the humor and familiarity of utilitarian dysfunction. In this series, the distressed steel has been further impacted by a combination of chemical agents introduced by the artist and unseasonable Southern California rains. Birthed from the nexus of chance, emotion, and experimentation, Neidich’s practice works to push his pieces to the brink, discovering the limits of their function and survival. While the sculptures’ varied poses and contortions may recall the effects of thwarted motion, Lost Mix Tapes pushes the button ... More

by Anemona Hartocollis


NEW YORK, NY.- The state auditor of Mississippi recently released an eight-page report suggesting that the state should invest more in college degree programs that could “improve the value they provide to both taxpayers and graduates.” That means state appropriations should focus more on engineering and business programs, said Shad White, the auditor, and less on liberal arts majors like anthropology, women’s studies and German language and literature. Those graduates not only earn less, White said, but they are also less likely to stay in Mississippi. More than 60% of anthropology graduates leave to find work, he said. “If I were advising my kids, I would say first ... More

In 44 years at Knopf, she shepherded history books that won a raft of Pulitzers — seven in all — as well as Bancrofts, although one recipient set off a furious debate.

NEW YORK, NY.- Jane Garrett, who as an editor at the Alfred A. Knopf publishing house guided seven books to Pulitzer Prizes for history but watched another book lose its prestigious Bancroft Prize over scholars’ criticism of the author’s research, died Oct. 12 at her home in Middlebury, Vermont. She was 88. The cause was Alzheimer’s disease, said Anne Eberle, a close friend. Garrett worked at Knopf for 44 years, initially as an editor and special assistant to Alfred Knopf himself, who had a strong devotion to publishing history books. At first, she steered his projects to completion, but she soon began acquiring books on her own. In 1973, “People of Paradox: An Inquiry Concerning the History of American Civilization,” by Michael Kammen, became the first of the books edited by Garrett to win a Pulitzer. ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Craig Starr Gallery is presenting Edward Hopper as Puritan, on view from October 26, 2023, through February 17, 2024. This exhibition brings together a selection of paintings, watercolors, and etchings by Edward Hopper, one of the most important painters of modern American life. The show focuses on Hopper’s depictions of rural and coastal landscapes in New England between 1920 and 1945. The selection examines Hopper's interest in the everyday activities and structures of Gloucester and Cape Cod. When Hopper first arrived in Gloucester in midsummer 1923, he was forty-one years old and primarily known as a printmaker. He took up watercolor that summer, at the urging of Jo Nivinson, whom he had just met and would later become his wife. He roamed all over Cape Ann, producing seventeen watercolors ... More

LAFAYETTE, LA.- Hilliard Art Museum announced today the appointment of Ben Hickey, curator of exhibitions and Emily Cyr Bridges endowed professor of art, as its interim director.

'Pastel Shadow' is Stéphane Dafflon's first solo exhibition with Air de Paris since 2013
PARIS.- Air de Paris has begun Pastel Shadow, Stéphane Dafflon’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition presents a new body of paintings that continue the artist’s investigations into the perception and experience of color. These new paintings by Stéphane Dafflon combine two realms of science, mathematics and the spectrum, number and color. In them we oscillate between contradictory perspectives: geometry, a stern thing of edges lines and angles, and the chromatic wheel, a diffuse thing of minute gradations. In the paintings both are put to straightforward use, despite engaging in a deliciously uncertain ontology. The color spectrum, which Newton discovered is a quality of light, a form of electromagnetic radiation, is thoroughly understood by science, while at the same time we read it as a marker of aesthetic feeling ...

Robbin Bain, pageant winner and 'Today Girl,' is dead at 87
NEW YORK, NY.- Robbin Mele Gaudieri, who, as Robbin Bain, embodied traditional women’s roles as the winner of a beauty contest designed to promote beer in 1959 and later as the “Today Girl,” handling fashion and beauty segments, on the popular NBC-TV morning show, died Oct. 21 in Southampton, New York, on Long Island. She was 87. Her daughter Lara McLanahan said the cause was breast cancer. In 1959, she was elected Miss Rheingold, representing what was then the most popular beer in the New York region and was also sold in Pennsylvania and throughout New England. She defeated five other finalists in an election that the brewer said attracted 24 million votes. As Miss Rheingold, she received $50,000 (about $530,000 in today’s dollars) and spent a year making appearances in the United States and Europe. ... More

The underlying optimism inherit in the work Jordy van den Nieuwendijk on view at Marian Cramer Projects
AMSTERDAM.- Jordy van den Nieuwendijk (1985) is a Dutch-born who lives and works in Australia. He is known for his explorations of everyday objects through painting. His artistic style involves working with primary color palettes and simplified shapes, often organized into series that operate within carefully defined boundaries. His work transcends the traditional dichotomy between abstract and figurative forms, creating a sense of tension with a timeless quality, which could be described as a form of new purism. In addition to his fine art practice, Jordy van den Nieuwendijk is also a commercial illustrator. He has collaborated with numerous clients, including notable names like Hermès, American Express, The New York Times, and Jacquemus. In his editorial work, he infuses elements of fun and playfulness, which contribute to his unique ... More

The PHI Foundation presents Rirkrit Tiravanija
QUEBEC.- The PHI Foundation is pleased to present JOUEZ/PLAY, a solo exhibition by artist Rirkrit Tiravanija. Rather than creating art objects for static display, Tiravanija focuses on the interactions between people and their surroundings. As a central tenet of his practice, he encourages visitors to become active participants in the artistic experience, instead of passive consumers of culture. In many of Tiravanija’s artworks, the visitor’s involvement is required in order for the work to be fully realized. In this exhibition and since 2017, he has moved into the realm of illusory speculation, experimenting with technological integrations into artistic forms of practice. During the 1990s, Tiravanija began producing artworks that revolved around his own personal history, through the restaging of his everyday experiences. By presenting such alternative ... More

'What's New In Still Life, Portrait, and Landscape' curated by John Yau now on view
BOSTON, MA.- LaiSun Keane has mounted What’s New in Still Life, Portrait, and Landscape, a group exhibition curated by notable writer and poet John Yau, spotlighting emerging artists that keep the spirit of observational art with new innovations. This will be Yau’s second curated show with the gallery, on view from November 3 to Dec 23, 2023 with an accompanying exhibition essay. While some may perceive art from direct observation as objective and academic, Yau argues that it is a deeply personal craft as no two individuals perceive the world identically. Yau expresses that this philosophy, more than any stylistic choices, lends originality and fresh appeal to these artists’ work. Ranging from detailed paintings to trompe l’oeil inspired sculptures, the works in this exhibition capture fantasies, and inner reflections within everyday ... More

Now on view at Hauser & Wirth in West Hollywood, 'Westward Ho!' by Allison Katz
LOS ANGELES, CA.- On 4 November, Hauser & Wirth opened ‘Westward Ho!,’ its first solo exhibition with Allison Katz, whose critically admired work addresses the ways in which aesthetic practices link and absorb autobiography, art history, information systems and commodity culture. On view at Hauser & Wirth’s West Hollywood location in Los Angeles, this presentation will debut new paintings, some of which were completed during her recent residency at Hauser & Wirth Somerset, alongside site-specific responses to the architecture of the gallery’s 1930s Spanish Colonial Revival building. Katz’s paintings are informed – and united – by her relentless curiosity about the ways in which images perform and construct meaning. The artist skillfully combines surface materiality, word play and humor with literary and cultural references, ... More
