BASEL.- At the beginning of the year, the Fondation Beyeler presents the thematic exhibition “Northern Lights”, focussing on around 70 landscape paintings by artists from the Nordic Countries and Canada created between 1880 and 1930, among them key works by Hilma af Klint and Edvard Munch. These artists all share the nature of the North, in particular the boreal forest, as a common source of inspiration. The seemingly boundless expanses of the forest, the radiant light of endless summer days, the long winter nights, and natural phenomena such as the northern lights gave rise to a specifically Nordic form of modern painting that exerts enduring appeal and fascination. “Northern Lights” features paintings by Helmi Biese, Anna Boberg, Emily Carr, Prince Eugen, Gustaf Fjæstad, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Lawren S. Harris, Hilma af Klint, J. E. H. MacDonald, Edvard Munch, Ivan Shishkin, Harald Sohlberg and Tom Thomson. While many of these artists are celebrated in their home countrie ... More

HOUSTON, TX.- The Menil Collection announces Joe Overstreet: Taking Flight, the first major museum exhibition in nearly thirty years devoted to the work of this pioneering abstract painter. Renowned for his innovative approach to nonrepresentational painting, American artist Joe Overstreet (1933–2019) consistently sought to intertwine abstraction and social politics. This presentation will include his landmark Flight Pattern series of radially suspended paintings from the early 1970s and bodies of work from the 1960s and 1990s. Overstreet made a significant contribution to postwar art, positioning abstraction as an expansive tool for exploring the idea of freedom and the Black experience in the United States.

Detail of Titian's Tobias and the Archangel Raphael, during conservation.
VENICE.- Painted for the altar dedicated to Archangel Raphael in the church of San Marziale, Titian's Tobias and the Archangel Raphael is now displayed in the nearby church of Madonna dell'Orto. The painting has long been the subject of much debate among critics regarding its exact dating and even authorship. Thanks to conservation treatment, closer observation and new research are shedding light on these fascinating issues. In 2023, Save Venice funded a maintenance treatment of the work to remove surface dust and debris, together with comprehensive diagnostic studies that uncovered several compositional changes made the artist.

SANTA CRUZ, CA.- The Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History opened Accidentally Wes Anderson: Adventures in Santa Cruz, an exhibition on view at the MAH from January 24–May 18, 2025. The show takes guests on a visual journey to the most beautiful, idiosyncratic locations around the globe—including Santa Cruz County—all seemingly plucked from the whimsical world of visionary filmmaker Wes Anderson. From impossibly grand hotels and chateaus to idyllic lighthouses, cable cars, and train carriages, AWA explores the filmmaker’s distinct aesthetic, whether a perfectly symmetrical landscape or a European city brimming with technicolor structures. The MAH exhibition, which includes a selection of community-sourced images of quirky places and locales in Central Coast California, is also presented as homage to the centennial celebration of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk’s Giant Dipper roller coaster, an Anderson-esque vintage wooden coaster that debuted in 1924. Born off the back of a viral online phenomenon and com ... More

NEW BRITAIN, CT.- The New Britain Museum of American Art presents special exhibition Blue Grass, Green Skies: American Impressionism and Realism from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from January 24 through May 18, 2025. "It must not be assumed that American Impressionism and French Impressionism are identical. The American painter accepted the spirit, not the letter of the new doctrine." - Christian Brinton, 1916 In 1874, a group of avant-garde French artists, including Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, organized the first exhibition of the “Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, Printmakers, etc.” in Paris. Although working independently, rather than as a unified movement or school, they came to be known as the Impressionists—a term first used to disparage their works as unfinished “impressions.” Defined by their loose brushwork, vibrant color palettes, and attention to capturing the ephemeral effects of light and atmosphere, these ...

Antonio Santín, Puente de plata, 2024. Oil on canvas, 63 x 86⅝ in. (160.00 x 220.00 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- MARC STRAUS is presenting new paintings by Antonio Santín (b. Madrid, 1978) , in his seventh one-person exhibition with the gallery. Antonio Santín trained as a sculptor, and soon focused on painting which has become ever more tactile and sculptural. He began with figurative paintings however, as the dresses and room adornments such as the carpets became more central to the work, he left figuration. He then began borrowing exquisite carpets and outlining patterning, afterwards adding his own coloration and more patterning, building up layers of paint. In the past two years as his technical skills allowed for far more detail than is found on a sewn carpet, he began to invent the entire image. This has freed him to make paintings that are more beautiful and intricate, and above all, personal. The technical side, which is unique, has taken years to accomplish. Now paint applications measured in millimeters are applied with the assistance of compressors and needles. He builds layer upon ... More

RIO DE JANEIRO.- Quebracorpo devises a set of operations inscribed in broken bodies or embodied breakages. These operations, taken together, create a system of oppositions: slackening-stretching, calcifying-softening, lowering-lifting, thickening-diluting, stimulating-numbing. The pairs listed above are material, visual and tactile. The works’ nudity is their eloquence, the sharpening of the semantic charge coursing between them. Breakage defines their common regions of meaning, the body is the consistency these meanings acquire in a given situation. Breakages in shape or the limits of the surface – inward or outward, toward the looker; of the regimes of symmetry or organization that give certain artworks their finish; of expectations of cohesion and wholeness that accompany painting or sculpture; of the scenographic as a mode of presenting action; of the human bodily figure as measure and bond ...

The exhibition features photographs, objects, materials, and tools that tell the story of the Gaytán Reyes family's preserved legacy.
CIUDAD VICTORIA.- In the semi-desert plains of Tamaulipas, a remarkable story of cultural heritage is unfolding. At the INAH Tamaulipas Center, the exhibition I Know a Family from Southwestern Tamaulipas: The Gaytán Reyes. Potters of Santa Ana de Nahola offers a poignant look at a pottery tradition stretching back an incredible 3,000 years. At the heart of this story is Doña Felipa Reyes, an 88-year-old master potter from Santa Ana de Nahola. She began crafting comales (griddles) as a teenager and soon progressed to making pots, inheriting a craft passed down through generations of women in her family: her great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, and sister. Now, she and her daughter, Adela Gaytán, are sharing their invaluable knowledge with the world. Between 2023 and 2024, Doña Felipa and Adela collaborated with Tonantzin Silva Cárdenas, director of INAH Tam ... More
BERLIN.- A deeply moving exhibition commemorating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau has opened at the Willy Brandt House in Berlin. Through compelling portraits and evocative imagery, photo artist Olaf Schlote's "Memories" project offers a poignant exploration of Holocaust survivors' lives, both during and after their harrowing experiences. Schlote, born in Bremen in 1961, has dedicated his artistic practice to making the incomprehensible – the horrors of the National Socialist regime – visible. His work doesn't simply dwell on the past trauma; it seeks to connect viewers with the enduring spirit and resilience of those who survived. By visiting memorial sites and, crucially, meeting survivors and their descendants in Israel, Schlote has crafted an exhibition that bridges the abyss of history with the vibrant reality of lives lived in its aftermath. "I wanted to create strong, direct images of people and not reduce the ... More

Art embraces collapse as a generative force in "Everything Is So Alive!" BERGEN.- Bergen Kunsthall presents the group exhibition Everything Is So Alive! with works by Dora Budor, Tianzhuo Chen, Nikita Gale, Ventura Profana, Tracey Rose and Tejal Shah. Everything Is So Alive! offers a hopeful exploration of the possibilities for cohabiting the ruins of a world moving into collapse. Rather than viewing collapse as mere destruction, the exhibition embraces it as a generative force. It considers collapse as a moment of new beginnings, where brokenness is understood as a condition to embody and negotiate, rejecting the neoliberal logic of repair. “After decades of queer theory evolving around world-making, Jack Halberstam describes his concept of unworlding as “not antiutopian. It is a project that understands that utopia is delayed until we unmake the world that we are currently living in” (Halberstam, “Unworlding”, Journal ... More
Meghann Riepenhoff's visceral cyanotypes explore climate change and transformation SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Haines Gallery presents State Shift, our second solo exhibition with artist MEGHANN RIEPENHOFF. Opening in tandem with SF Art Week 2025, this highly anticipated show debuts a poetic, visceral, and personal body of work that expands Riepenhoff’s collaboration with both the cyanotype and the environment. Riepenhoff creates her cyanotypes directly within the landscape, allowing the elements to leave physical inscriptions on paper coated with photographic materials. Marking an important breakthrough in her practice, State Shift sees the introduction of new pigments and gestures into Riepenhoff’s process. The signature inky indigos and glacial blues of her cyanotypes are transformed with vivid flashes of green, coral, magenta, and shimmering metallic hues, the result of organic materials (mica, mushroom ink, ...

From everyday movements to art: Cinthia Marcelle and the legacy of 1960s performance at Kunsthalle Mainz MAINZ.- The exhibition Bodies in Motion – Form in the Making sets performance-based video works by internationally renowned artist Cinthia Marcelle (b. 1974 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil)—one is produced jointly with Tiago Mata Machado (b. 1973 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil)—in context with 1960s/1970s post-minimalist dance and performance works from figures such as Yvonne Rainer (b. 1934 in San Francisco, US), Bruce Nauman (b. 1941 in Fort Wayne), and Suzanne Harris (1940–1979, US) as well as the unique minimalist sculptures by Charlotte Posenenske (1930–1985, Frankfurt am Main), whose form is repeatedly renegotiated and redefined in participatory exercises. Cinthia Marcelle’s oeuvre is a logical evolvement of the socio-political art produced in twentieth-century Brazil, where material experimentation was combined with conceptional ... More
International artists respond to the climate crisis in "Touch Nature" at Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz LINZ.- The multimedia exhibition Touch Nature is a presentation of international artists who are taking a stand against the devastating political, economic, ecological and humanitarian impact of the Anthropocene. It becomes clear in the process that artists are not only documenting their grievances and formulating resistance but are also designing utopias for a respectful approach to our environment. The economic exploitation of landscapes, increasing soil sealing and the global repercussions of current consumer behaviour are also addressed, as are world nutrition, the spread of epidemics and the consequences of colonialism. In addition, the investigation encourages a change of perspective. It opens up hopeful visions for a new relationship between mankind and nature. Touch Nature is based on the series of exhibitions of the same ... More
Danilo Sciorilli's "A Masked Blessing": Exploring life's contradictions in a Roman home ROME.- Artist Danilo Sciorilli is transforming a domestic space in Rome's Quadraro district into a captivating realm of symbols and introspection with his solo exhibition, "A Masked Blessing." Opening on January 25, 2025, at Casa Vuota (via Maia 12, int. 4A), the exhibition, curated by Francesco Paolo Del Re and Sabino de Nichilo, invites viewers to contemplate the complexities of human existence through a unique blend of paintings, installations, video animation, and drawings. Sciorilli's artistic language is built upon a foundation of seemingly disparate elements: spheres and children's games, witches and magical rituals, flocks of crows and processions of beetles. These images, rendered primarily in graphite, form a dreamlike and coded visual vocabulary that resonates with a primordial sensibility. The exhibition's title, "A Masked Blessing," itself ... More

On a day like today, Dutch painter Govert Flinck was born
January 25, 1615. Govert (or Govaert) Teuniszoon Flinck (25 January 1615 - 2 February 1660) was a Dutch painter of the Dutch Golden Age. For many years Flinck laboured on the lines of Rembrandt, following that master's style in all the works which he executed between 1636 and 1648. With aspirations as a history painter, however, he looked to the swelling forms and grand action of Peter Paul Rubens, which led to many commissions for official and diplomatic painting. In this image: Blessing of Jacob (1638).
