Restorer supervising the paint layer of Degas's work 'At the Milliner's'
MADRID.- The Restoration Department of the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza is presenting a special display in Room 33 of the Permanent Collection. It focuses on the technical study recently undertaken on the pastel on paper At the Milliner’s (1882) by Edgar Degas. Supported by the María Cristina Masaveu Peterson Foundation, this project allowed the museum’s restoration team to compare and identify similarities between Degas’ pastel and others by the artist on the same subject, period and technique. They also examined the methods and materials employed and gained an understanding of how the work was created, from the use of a sheet of cardboard as the support to the application of the final stroke. In addition, analyses have confirmed the work’s extreme fragility, providing valuable technical information that will help to ensure to its correct conservation. Degas' favourite subject can be presumed to be dancers, of which he painted around fifteen hundred works. Also interes ... More
AMSTERDAM.- Huis Marseille, Museum for Photography is presenting Kusukazu Uraguchi. Shima no Ama, an exhibition of eighty captivating black and white photographs selected from the monumental archive of this Japanese photographer. From the mid-1950s onwards Kusukazu Uraguchi (1922-1988) devoted thirty years of his life to photographing the ama, an all-female community of Japanese fisherwomen and divers in the Shima region where he was born. His admiring gaze is a powerful testimonial to their ever-dwindling vocation. The exhibition was first shown in 2024 during the international photo festival Les Rencontres d’Arles, and has been augmented in Huis Marseille with additional photographs, a new video compilation, and recently restored vintage wooden panels. The ama, Japanese ‘women of the sea’, have populated the coasts of the Shima region for more than three thousand years, free-diving for ... More
Jean Xceron Painting #426 - Oil On Canvas. Sold for $13,000.
GLEN COVE, NY.-Roland Auctions NY hosted their Holiday Estates Auction on December 13th, 2025, with a rarely seen at auction Abstract painting collection by notable Mid-Century artist Jean Xceron (Greek/American, 1890-1967) taking much of the attention. While a rare Steinway & Sons Dutch Rococo Parquetry Piano and a Neoclassical Bronze & Micromosaic Top Coffee Table, specially made for J.A. Lehman in Rome in 1857, were the top sellers of the day, all twelve lots in the Jean Xceron collection sold with anxious high-energy bidding. Contemporary Art is always a crowd pleaser at Roland, always doing well especially over the last few years. As many art aficionados know, Jean Xceron’s work came to prominence in the 1950’s and early 1960’s, but never quite reached the level of some other well-known Modernist artists of the time. He maintained a relationship with the Rose Fried Gallery, evident by the labels on the reverse of his work ... More
Pierre Soulages, Brou de noix marouflé sur toile 108 x 75 cm, 2003.
PARIS.- Rarely the focus of standalone exhibitions, Pierre Soulages’ works on paper form a vital part of his artistic journey. As early as 1946, he began exploring this medium using walnut stain, applying bold, sweeping marks that immediately set his work apart within the abstract movements of the time. Thanks to exceptional loans from the Musée Soulages, the exhibition brings together 130 works produced between the 1940s and the early 2000s, including 25 never shown before.You'll discover a group of paintings on paper, long kept in the artist's studio, which testify to the constancy and freedom with which Soulages approached this medium. After favouring walnut stain in the early years, Pierre Soulages often returned to the material used by cabinet-makers, whose qualities of transparency and opacity, and luminosity in contrast with the white of the paper, he loved. He would also use ink and gouache for works whose generally small formats yielded nothing to their ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum is presenting “Made in America: The Industrial Photography of Christopher Payne,” an exhibition featuring Payne’s intricately detailed photography of America’s factories. On view from Dec. 12 through Sept. 27, 2026, the exhibition brings together more than 70 large-format photographs captured by Payne over a decade-long photographic journey to learn more about the craft of both industrial and artisanal making in the United States. Recently published in the book Made in America: The Industrial Photography of Christopher Payne (Abrams, 2023), Payne’s photographs highlight the traditional craftsmanship behind the creation of musical instruments, flags, footballs and pinball machines, as well as the intricate hand processes still critical to creating the ...

NEW YORK, NY.- From the moment Star Wars burst onto the screen in 1977, audiences have been in equal parts fascinated and appalled by the half-man/half-machine hybrid Darth Vader. In 1999, creator George Lucas began the story of how Anakin Skywalker grew up to train as a Jedi under Obi-Wan Kenobi, found love with the Queen of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, before turning to the dark side of his nature and becoming more machine than man. After driving the development of nascent digital technology, George Lucas perceived how he could create new creatures and new worlds on a grander scale than ever before. He created the first digital blockbuster, and met fierce resistance when he pushed for widespread digital cameras, sets, characters, and projection – all of which are now used throughout the industry. He essentially popularized the modern way of making movies. Made with the full cooperation of George Lucas and Lucasfilm, this second volume covers the making of the prequel trilogy — Episode I The Phan ... More
Installation view, No More Boring Art, Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax, Canada. Photographer: Steve Farmer. Courtesy of Art Gallery of Nova Scotia & the Artists.
HALIFAX.- The Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax holds a near-mythic art world status, due in large part to its influential conceptual art program during the 1960s and ‘70s. Hubbard / Birchler revisit a pivotal yet largely overlooked moment from this period. In April 1971, a group of students wrote “I will not make any more boring art” repeatedly across a wall of NSCAD’s Mezzanine Gallery, following the instructions sent by American artist John Baldessari (1931–2020) who called the project a “Punishment Piece.” Baldessari did not travel to Halifax to participate himself, instead, designating students as surrogates to carry out the work. A lithograph of the project produced by the NSCAD Lithography Workshop emerged soon afterward and has become one of Baldessari’s most iconic works. But who were the anonymous participants who gave form to Baldessari’s idea more than five ... More

LONDON.- Monumental paintings by internationally acclaimed artist Harland Miller — including brand new works specially created for the exhibition — have been unveiled in a new show at the Design Museum in London. Miller is an artist and writer recognised as one of the leading figures in international contemporary art. Works from his ongoing Letter Painting series are presented in this free exhibition across two locations within the museum. Visitors can explore how Miller harnesses the principles of graphic design, deploying bright, saturated colour palettes and a wide range of typefaces designed by the artist himself. Thirteen largescale paintings can be seen in the museum’s Helene and Johannes Huth Gallery, while fifteen works on paper from the same series are shown on the mezzanine level in the heart of the Design Museum’s Grade II* listed building. Miller has produced nine new works for this exhibition. These ... More
Alexandra Searle, Retain (i), 2025. Ceramic, 21 x 17 x 3 cm. 8 1/4 x 6 3/4 x 1 1/8 in. Copyright The Artist.
LONDON.- What do Venus fly traps, chameleons and upturned trees have to do with sinks, pipes and drains? Take a seat before you change your mind, a duo exhibition at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, Tower Bridge, places Celina Teague's vivid text-based paintings in dialogue with Alexandra Searle's uncanny ceramics, exploring the ways in which objects, words and colours can wrap our perception, unsettle and deceive. Alexandra Searle's latest series of sculptures draws on the language of plumbing and sanitaryware to create ambiguous forms that hover between the functional and anatomical, simultaneously reminiscent of body parts and the insides of a machine. These are objects that are uncomfortable to look at simply because we cannot be certain that they might not move - the bulge of a corrugated pipe that could also be a spinal cord, protruding cavities that could suck or drain, stretched surfaces that recall the sleek finish and slippage ...

JYVÄSKYLÄ.- Aalto2 opens the year with a multisensory experience, offering museum visitors nostalgia and human stories. The exhibitions of the coming year will guide you from the winding rally terrains of Central Finland to landmark works of architecture, the life of a Central Finnish artist’s home, and Finnish classic design. When it began in 1951, the Rally of the Thousand Lakes was a modest event – defined above all by its famously long route. Over the decades, “Jyskälä” (the event’s Finnish nickname) has grown into a World Rally Championship highlight: an international carnival of speed and Finland’s largest sporting event by audience numbers. This exhibition takes museum visitors out to the gravel roads, pine forests, and makeshift field parking that define rallying in Central Finland. It also brings to life the camaraderie of the volunteers who make the event possible, and explores how the rally has evolved – sparking excitement, debate, and passion in the ... More
Photo of Marie Wilson by Andreas Embirikos, circa early 1960s.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Gallery Wendi Norris announced exclusive representation of the estate of Marie Wilson (1922, Cedarville, CA – 2017, Athens, Greece). Over the course of six decades, Wilson produced a revelatory and singular body of work that was rooted equally in the cultural and spiritual milieu of Northern California and the Bay Area of her youth, and in the intellectual currents of European surrealism, which she experienced while living and working among the movement’s central figures. Through biomorphic and geometric forms—ranging from semi-abstract arrangements to the exactingly symmetrical compositions of her mature period—Wilson created oil paintings, drawings in ink and pencil, lithographs, and ceramics that explored new surrealist horizons and expanded the possibilities of modern art. “Many of us will be encountering Marie Wilson for the first time, and yet her visionary work is so confident, so knowing, that it feels as if it has ...

As the only Midwest venue for this nationally touring exhibition, the Museum presents the most comprehensive presentation of the artist’s work ever organized. The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience the visionary art of one of the country’s most fascinating and enigmatic artists. Bringing together nearly 80 paintings from major museums and private collections, the exhibition celebrates Abercrombie’s singular vision. Known for her dreamlike imagery that includes moons, owls, cats, and solitary figures, and for her role as a fixture in Chicago’s bohemian and jazz scenes, Gertrude Abercrombie (1909–1977) crafted a visual world that was equal parts surreal and deeply personal. ...

Margate gets drawn in at Turner Contemporary MARGATE.- Turner Contemporary’s new Drawing Studio has attracted over 3,000 visits in its first two weeks, demonstrating strong appetite for the gallery’s expanded drawing programme. The studio—an open, accessible space for visitors of all ages— has quickly established itself as a vibrant hub for Margate’s creative community. Families, adults, young people and regular visitors, have responded enthusiastically, with many praising the free dedicated space and materials that make drawing accessible for all. Taking inspiration from the current exhibition, Learning to See by Bridget Riley, the studio pays tribute to the importance of drawing for Riley, and for many artists, in building a foundation for their work. The Drawing Studio launches with five programme strands, offering regular opportunities for people to explore drawing, develop new skills and enjoy creative time together: ... More
Charis Ammon turns New York's sidewalks into sites of quiet attention at Sargent's Daughters NEW YORK, NY.- Sargent’s Daughters is presenting Pedestrian, Charis Ammon’s (b. 1992, Dallas, TX) second exhibition with the gallery. Based in Brooklyn, Ammon produces observational paintings drawn from photographs taken during her daily wanderings. Her work captures traces of shared narratives in spaces that most overlook, asking viewers to slow down and look closely at the world around them. In this new body of work, Ammon focuses her gaze on the sidewalks of New York and its omnipresent storefronts — Chinese takeout restaurants, bodegas, dry cleaners, flower shops, and bars. The show’s title, Pedestrian, invokes this movement through the city, but also reflects the way these types of spaces are considered unimportant or below notice. Yet for Ammon, the sidewalk serves as “a great equalizer,” a space that everyone regardless of background ... More
New works by Martine Syms in Milwaukee's Bronzeville District MILWAUKEE, WI.- Sculpture Milwaukee and the Bronzeville Center for the Arts debuted a suite of public artworks by Martine Syms, the celebrated multidisciplinary artist who reconsiders Black identity and her own identity as a Black female artist, in the heart of Bronzeville. A binding principle of the L.A.-native Syms’ far-ranging output — a body of work including video, photography, performance, and writing — is to pull apart familiar tropes of language and image-making and rework them, with humor and punch, to open new possibilities. “While Syms has shown work inside many prestigious institutions, she’s also embraced public art, showing her work in densely populated places like Times Square,” said Phoenix Brown, BCA’s curator. “Presenting her work on North Avenue—where we’re effectively turning the street into an exhibition space—immediately ...

Film Forum hosts U.S. theatrical premiere of Brandon Kramer's award-winning documentary Holding Liat NEW YORK, NY.- Film Forum will present the U.S. theatrical premiere of Brandon Kramer’s Holding Liat on Friday, January 9. In October 2023, two weeks after Israeli-American teacher Liat Atzili and her husband Aviv were kidnapped from their kibbutz in southern Israel by Hamas forces, filmmaker Brandon Kramer, a relative, follows the experiences of Liat's family, providing an intimate and real-time portrait of their conflicting views, emotions, and strategies to secure their release. Disappointed and angered by Israel's response to the attacks, Liat's father, Yehuda, lobbies members of Congress to prioritize the release of the hostages, criticizes Netanyahu, and advocates for a peaceful reconciliation with Palestinians; Netta, Liat's son (who narrowly escaped an attack), expresses anger toward Hamas and anti-war protestors; and Liat's mother Chaya and younger ...

Forty days in the Chihuahuan Desert shape Honoré d'O's immersive exhibition at MACS HORNU.- Conceived by Honoré δ’O for the large square room at MACS, the exhibition Quarantaine-Quarantine consists of a vast installation in which the Belgian artist evokes the “retreat into the desert” he undertook for 40 days as part of his residency in Marfa (Texas) in 2024. As its title suggests through the double meaning of the French word “quarantaine”, (both “around forty (days)” and “quarantine”), the project combines the experience of spiritual introspection with that of physical isolation. Installed in a mobile home, away from urban and social life, Honoré δ’O immersed himself during this time in the surrounding landscape: the Chihuahuan Desert, an arid, ascetic space in perfect harmony with the principle of permanent reinvention that has fueled his artistic approach since the 1990s. A habitat for both nomads and hermits, on the edge of organised territories that are ... More

Kunstmuseen Krefeld places art and craft at the center of its 2026 exhibition program KREFELD.- In the 2026 exhibition year at the Kunstmuseen Krefeld, the productive dialogue between art and craft takes center stage—from both historical and contemporary perspectives. While artist Acaye Kerunen examines traditional weaving techniques and their social underpinnings, Bernhard Fuchs documents agricultural practices and architectures through photography. Johan Thorn Prikker’s modernist ideal of the Gesamtkunstwerk—uniting painting, mosaic, stained glass, and architecture into a universal design—is juxtaposed with Emma Talbot’s vibrantly colored contemporary visual worlds rendered on painted silk. The applied arts of the Brücke artist group will be placed in dialogue with an exhibition curated by Slavs and Tatars, addressing the cultural significance of craft today. Museum Director Katia Baudin explains: “The connection between the fine and applied ... More
Von Wolfe debuts first major Asian exhibition with AI-driven oil paintings in The Garden Fortress KAOHSIUNG.- Von Wolfe : The Garden Fortress marks the British artist Von Wolfe’s first large-scale exhibition in Asia. Bringing together 70 works spanning nearly two decades, the exhibition reveals an extraordinary fusion between artificial intelligence and traditional oil painting—inviting viewers into a realm where the classical and the digital converge. Born into a family of artists, Von Wolfe possesses a profound foundation in both art and philosophy. The exhibition begins with early works that merge the influences of Picasso and Japanese ukiyo-e, extending to re-interpretations of classical masters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt. Rooted in traditional oil techniques yet composed through visual collage and cross-cultural appropriation, these works reconfigure iconic images from art history. Within each canvas, cultural languages intersect, challenging fixed boundaries ... More
