Ethan Cohen Gallery opens a major retrospective surveying six decades of work by Clark V. Fox |
|
|
|
NEW YORK, NY.- Ethan Cohen Gallery is pleased to present Beyond Obedience, a major solo exhibition surveying nearly six decades of work by Clark V. Fox (born 1946) at the gallery's 251 W 19th Street location in Chelsea. Clark Fox is an American artist whose singular practice defies conventional distinctions between abstraction, Pop art, political painting, and cultural critique. Clark Fox is an artist's artist if there ever was one. At almost 80, his name is known and admired among an interesting group of his elders and peers. As a very young painter, he both emulated and influenced Washington D.C. artists such as Thomas Downing, Gene Davis, Jacob Kainen, and Sam Gilliam. They influenced Clark's early incarnation as a Washington Color School painter. Living his entire life between D.C. and New York, by 1970 the artist had moved from abstract to representational painting. His important series of "architectural" paintings began with his inspiration fr ... More |

Rob Strati, Fragmented in Green with Stag and Ship, 2024. 29 x 24 2.5.
MIAMI, FLA.- At Art Miami 2026, the artist's acclaimed Fragmented series transforms discarded porcelain into intricate imagined worlds, while his smaller-scale works and Service series reveal the breadth of his practice. Rob Strati transforms fragments of antique and vintage porcelain into intricate works of art, drawing beyond the original designs to create scenes that seem to spill off the plate and onto the page. Ships, figures, animals, landscapes and surreal details emerge from the patterns and edges of the broken china, turning what might otherwise be discarded into something unexpected. Through his acclaimed Fragmented series, Strati blurs the line between sculpture, drawing and storytelling. The porcelain isn't repaired or concealed. Its cracks, edges and missing pieces become essential to the finished work, with the original decorative patterns serving as the starting point for an entirely new composition. ... More |

Elaborately decorated cylinder featuring a painted narrative scene.
By John Buxton / ArtTrak
DALLAS, TX.- Long before Columbus, extensive Indigenous trade networks connected the Maya civilizations of Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico with regions far to the north, including the American Southwest and the Mississippi Valley. These networks carried obsidian, turquoise, copper, marine shells, tropical birds, and ceremonial goods across thousands of miles. Paquimé (Casas Grandes), in Chihuahua, Mexico, was an important northern exchange center, linking communities of northern Mexico with the American Southwest. Farther east, the great Mississippian centers of Cahokia and Etowah participated in equally sophisticated commercial networks. Recent archaeological discoveries suggest that cacao, the tropical plant from which chocolate is made, reached both the Southwest and the southeastern United States ... More |

Here, a young bright face under a sailor's cap appears at the ... More |

Sherié Franssen, Unforgettable, 2026. Oil on canvas, 81 x 77.5 inches.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Dolby Chadwick Gallery announced Everything We Carry, an exhibition of new paintings by Sherié Franssen. There is something wonderfully unreliable about memory. A small detail can remain astonishingly clear while everything around it softens. A color, a shape, a feeling can return without warning, sometimes more vivid than the original moment itself. Sherié Franssen’s newest body of work seems to inhabit this space, where impressions gather, shift and resurface, and where what we see is shaped as much by what we bring to it as by what is actually there. These paintings are abundant. Color moves freely across the canvases, sometimes in broad sweeps and elsewhere in quick, concentrated marks. Forms overlap, collide and emerge through layers of paint, occasionally arriving at something that feels strangely familiar before slipping away again. Franssen has deliberately removed the hints of the figure that have appeared in previous bodies of work, allowing ... More |

Katherine Bowling, The Last Tree, 2025, Oil on spackle on wood panel, 48 x 34 inches.
NEW YORK, NY.- Winston Wächter Fine Art is presenting Forecast, a new series of works by Katherine Bowling. In her second solo exhibition with the gallery, Bowling continues her practice of meditative and luminous paintings. In her newest body of work, each piece suggests habitation and memory, yet often feel strangely distant, like structures encountered in a dream. Bowling’s paintings are inspired by the tradition of the Hudson River School of the 19th century. Utilizing quiet symbolism, Bowling infuses a Romanticist aesthetic into the details of each scene, with the paintings in this series moving between the observed landscape and an interior one. Fields, trees, fences, roads, and solitary houses create places that feel both familiar and slightly elusive. For Bowling, many of these works are inspired by the Hudson Valley area where she lives and memories of her childhood growing up in Virginia. Houses appear quietly within these landscapes, some painted and some collaged, partially hidden b ... More |

Tina Kim Gallery retrospective highlights Kim Tschang-Yeul's 'Recurrence' series and waterdrop motif |
Auguste Rodin (1840–1917), The Thinker, Porte-size version known as the “Medium Model,” 1919, bronze sculpture, signed “A. Rodin,” foundry mark “ALEXIS. RUDIER / FONDEUR. PARIS,” H. 71.6 cm.
GENEVA.- Piguet is unveiling at auction, for the first time, an exceptional collection from the families of the Barons de Reuter and James Gordon Bennett Jr., two names inextricably linked to the history of the international press. Preserved by their descendants for more than a century, works of art, fine jewellery, silverware and precious historical records tell the story of these families, who shaped European history in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Among the major discoveries are two sculptures by Auguste Rodin, including a cast of his iconic Thinker (est. CHF 4 to 7 million, USD 4.9 to 8.6 million, EUR 4.3 to 7.6 million, GBP 3.6 to 6.3 million), as well as an exceptional, unique and previously unseen imperial piece by the house of Fabergé. This extraordinary gift from the Tsar’s family is the largest elephant known to date to have been produced by the workshops of the celebrated goldsmith. It will be offered at auction by Piguet for the ... More |

François-Xavier Lalanne, Le Grand Oiseau de Peter Branché Estimate:€1,000,000 - 1,500,000.
PARIS.- On 24 November, Christie's Paris will bring together approximately 180 works tracing a century of decorative arts and design. From Alberto and Diego Giacometti to Ingrid Donat and Maarten Baas, by way of François-Xavier and Claude Lalanne, the sale places bronze firmly in the spotlight. By turns decorative, sculptural and functional, bronze remained throughout the twentieth century a remarkable medium for experimentation. Spanning from the Belle Époque to contemporary creation, the works assembled demonstrate the ability of leading creators to continually reinvent this material: sculpture transformed into functional objects by the Giacomettis, the poetic menagerie of the Lalannes, and bronze used as an architectural medium by Ingrid Donat and Maarten Baas. A highlight of the sale, François-Xavier Lalanne's Grand Oiseau de Peter Branché is estimated at €1,000,000-1,500,000. This spectacular work alone encapsulates the unique dialogue the artist maintained with the animal world. Fro ... More |

Kim Tschang-Yeul, Recurrence, 2012. Acrylic and oil on canvas, 63 3/8 x 51 1/8 in. 161 x 130 cm. Framed: 65 1/4 x 52 1/8 x 2 in. 165.7 x 132.4 x 5.1 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Tina Kim Gallery presents Kim Tschang-Yeul: Recurrence, the gallery's third solo exhibition of the Korean émigré painter who devoted five decades of his career to the sustained exploration of luminous, hyperrealistic waterdrops. Focusing on works from the 1980s through the 2010s, the exhibition traces the evolution of Kim’s mature practice as he embraced a more tactile materiality, experimented with varied surfaces and grounds, and began working on a larger scale. At its center is his Recurrence series, which emerged in the mid-1980s, shown alongside significant Waterdrop paintings from across these decades. Together, the works demonstrate the remarkable range Kim drew from a single motif, continually pushing its formal and conceptual possibilities. The waterdrop motif emerged from a chance encounter with the material itself. While working in a makeshift studio outside Paris, Kim splashed water onto the back ... More |

Ouattara Watts, On the Road, 2026. Mixed media on canvas, 111¾ × 140 in.
NEW YORK, NY.- Musical notes, eyes, nodes, arrows, numerals, alien vessels, African masks, and modernist sculpture—these are among the vast range of symbols that recur throughout Ouattara Watts’s paintings. His densely layered compositions reflect his omnivorous approach to the histories of painting and visual expression more broadly: a single canvas by the artist, its surface composed of textiles and other materials, may shift between gestural abstraction, color fields, and figuration. Watts’s attention to materiality dates to 1977, when he arrived in Paris to study art from Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire and began painting on tarpaulin. By the time he moved to New York City in 1988, he was already incorporating found objects and fabrics into his compositions. Across New Paintings, Watts sets his enigmatic signs among patterned fabric, papier-mâché relief, and paint-spattered floor cloths, holding the graphic and the gestural in tension. Watts often finds the beginnings of ... More |

LISBON.- Pavilhão Julião Sarmento presents Between Continents, a solo exhibition by Iris Buchholz Chocolate. Bringing together two installations shown for the first time in Europe, the exhibition explores connections between Europe and Africa, examining the entanglement of memory, colonialism, migration, and intergenerational cultural transmission. Born in Schorndorf, Germany, in 1974, Buchholz Chocolate has been closely connected to Luanda since 2003, initially through her work with the Luanda Triennial. In A Sul. O Sombreiro (2015), sculptural objects evoke structures of military, secular and ecclesiastical power. The title refers to Pepetela’s novel of the same name, inspired by the colonial conquest of the Benguela region in the seventeenth century. Developed over two years with hairdressers, blacksmiths, tailors and seamstresses in Luanda and Vienna, ... More Belvedere 21 opens a major international survey of feminist art

NEW HAVEN, CONN.- The Yale Center for British Art (YCBA) announced today a commission by internationally renowned artist Richard Long. Gravity is a monumental site-specific installation for the museum’s Entrance Court, inaugurating a year of programming marking the institution’s 50th anniversary in 2027. For Gravity, Long uses his hands to sweep clay across the surface of a freestanding wall measuring twenty-six feet wide by ten feet tall, making a dynamic composition that sets off a dialogue with the iconic flat, steel surfaces of the Louis I. Kahn–designed YCBA building. On view from November 4, 2026, through July 11, 2027, Richard Long: Gravity exemplifies the artist’s longstanding connection with the landscape and the physical act of engaging with natural materials, and serves as a prologue to two landscape-focused exhibitions on concurrent ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Jack Shainman Gallery presents By the time the rain comes, we will be home, an exhibition of new work by Donyel Ivy-Royal, marking his first with the gallery following the announcement of his representation earlier this year. Moving between the familiar and the elusive, the presentation brings together oil paintings, ink drawings, and a large-scale installation. Donyel Ivy-Royal’s practice is shaped by the spaces he has lived in and traversed through, from weathered walls and urban sprawls to trees, mountains, and open landscapes. The sceneries of the Northwest, alongside the underground music, poetry, and art scenes in which Ivy-Royal is deeply immersed, inform the inherently multi-disciplinary nature of his practice. Galvanized by these communities and spaces that make up his world, Ivy-Royal oscillates between painting, construction, ... More |
