PARIS.- Gagosian announced its participation in Art Basel Paris at the Grand Palais, with a presentation that places a historical masterwork in dialogue with modern and contemporary paintings and sculptures. Peter Paul Rubens’s tightly composed and vibrantly executed painting The Virgin and Christ Child, with Saints Elizabeth and John the Baptist (c. 1611–14) was specially authorized for inclusion in Art Basel Paris’s main sector in recognition of its exceptional quality and its resonance with other modern and contemporary works in Gagosian’s booth. A recently rediscovered depiction of the holy family, the painting is comparable to one of the same subject in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection in Madrid. It derives its subject matter from an Apocryphal text, the Franciscan homily Meditationes vitae Christi, but the ... More
Circa-1905 Heddon high-forehead 154 Dowagiac Underwater Minnow bait with two bellyweights. Estimate: $3,000-$10,000.
DENVER, PA.- On Saturday, October 25, fishing lure collectors will have one final opportunity to dip into the celebrated Wayne and Lori Edens collection, as Morphy’s presents the third and final installment of a series that debuted 10 months ago. The breathtaking assemblage of lures – or “baits,” as they are more commonly known to purists, is said to be the largest, most comprehensive and historically-important collection of its type ever to come to the public marketplace. For that reason, there’s an air of last-chance excitement within the hobby, with many absentee bids already in place to compete on auction day. One of the most coveted Heddons in the Edens collection is a 2-hook rimless cup Slopenose bait made in early 1902, during the first 5-6 weeks of the Michigan company’s production. It is one of only three known ... More
Portrait of Gao Xiaowu – by Gao Xiaowu Studio.
BEIJING.- Gao Xiaowu (born in 1976 in Fujian, China) is one of the most prominent contemporary sculptors in China. His works, known for their sharp social insight, satirical humor, and profound spiritual inquiry, have continuously sparked dialogue across the international art scene. Gao grew up in the rural countryside of Fujian, was nurtured from an early age by nature and folk culture. During his childhood, his grandmother’s paper-cutting, his parents’ intricately carved traditional wedding bed, and folk activities such as the “Bench Dragon” organized by his clan during festivals all became his earliest aesthetic influences. “All the toys I had as a child were handmade by myself,” he recalled. “The joy and freedom of creating in that way continue to influence my work to this day.” Later, he majored in sculpture at Xiamen Academy of Arts and Crafts, where he received systematic training in Western realism, yet his heart always longed ...

PARIS.- Tornabuoni Art Gallery in Paris hosts an exhibition that brings together two of the greatest innovators of 20th-century artistic language: Giorgio Morandi and Lucio Fontana. This project continues an unprecedented dialogue that began at the CaMeC in La Spezia with Morandi and Fontana. Invisible and Infinite (2025). Curated by Sergio Risaliti, Director of the Museo Novecento in Florence, the Paris exhibition will offer French and international audiences new insights into the underlying connections between Giorgio Morandi (Bologna, 1890 – 1964) and Lucio Fontana (Rosario, 1899 – Comabbio, 1968). Two seemingly parallel trajectories, destined never to intersect except at infinity, find convergence beyond the visible; where art transcends the limits of optical perception and guides the gaze toward the unreachable infinite and the invisible within things. For Morandi, this journey involves revealing the essence of the most ordinary and familiar objects, beyond immediate ... More
PARIS.- Gagosian announces Endless Summer, an exhibition of new paintings by Albert Oehlen opening in Paris on October 20, 2025. The paintings explore the theme of the bather, a motif deeply embedded in French art history that captivated such artists as Pierre Bonnard, Paul Cézanne, Édouard Manet, and Pablo Picasso. The bather has maintained a significant and diverse presence throughout the history of art, and in Endless Summer, Oehlen contributes to the tradition in characteristically expressive style. Presenting variations on a dark-haired female nude, he sometimes approaches, sometimes retreats from his ostensible subject, using it as a template for unbounded experimentation. While the woman’s shape is clearly legible in some paintings, in others it dissolves into pure gesture, shifting Oehlen’s project continually between representation and abstraction. ... More
LONDON.- 2025 marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of Joseph Mallord William Turner, one of Britain’s most admired Romantic painters. To commemorate this landmark anniversary, the National Maritime Museum is returning one of Turner’s most important masterpieces to display in the Queen’s House. The Battle of Trafalgar will be on public display from 21 October 2025, 220 years to the day since the Battle of Trafalgar. Measuring more than three metres across, The Battle of Trafalgar is the largest painting that Turner ever completed. It commemorates the most decisive naval action of the Napoleonic Wars, the victory of the British Royal Navy over a combined French and Spanish fleet off Cape Trafalgar on 21 October 1805. The painting was made for King George IV in 1824 – Turner’s only royal commission. It initially attracted criticism from naval officials, who complained about factual inaccuracies, but it was later ... More

ROME.- Just opened at the Capitoline Museums’ Centrale Montemartini, a remarkable exhibition is finally pulling back the curtain on a woman who served as the eyes and hand of a rapidly vanishing Rome. "Maria Barosso, artist and archaeologist in a transforming Rome" is the first monographic show dedicated to Maria Barosso (1879–1960), a pioneering figure whose unique watercolors meticulously documented the tumultuous urban and archaeological transformations of the Eternal City in the early 20th century. Open from October 17, 2025, to February 22, 2026, the exhibition celebrates the work of a woman who achieved a true rarity for her time: becoming the sole female draftsperson to collaborate with the Superintendency of Rome and Lazio. Barosso’s career began in 1905 when she started working with the legendary Giacomo Boni on the Roman Forum excavations. She wasn't just an illustrator; she was an artist-archaeologist, combining the scientific rigor ... More
Jean-Michel Othoniel, Precious Stonewall, 2025. Amber and aquamarine blue Indian mirrored glass, wood, 80 × 55 × 22 cm | 31 1/2 × 21 5/8 × 8 11/16 inches. Unique.
PARIS.- Born in the 1960s, in Saint-Étienne, a working-class mining town in central France, Jean-Michel Othoniel grew up amidst the realities of his industrial surroundings. He also had access to the vibrant contemporary collection of the Saint-Étienne Museum of Modern Art, in terms of size, second only to the Pompidou in France. At the age of ten, he encountered the work of American Minimalist Robert Morris, an experience that left a lasting impression. In this new exhibition, the works follow in the footsteps of those shown at the Collection Lambert in Avignon. They reflect the artist’s genuine interest in minimalism and abstraction, showing that beauty and sensuality are in no way at odds with radicality. From early on, he saw art as a parallel universe, embracing the importance of play, an ethos that would later define his artistic practice. He had moved to Paris to study art, arriving in the 1980s, a transformative period in Western art. Movements such as Minimalism, ... More
BERLIN.- More than 80 years after being condemned as "Degenerate Art" by the Nazis, a collection of sculptures, battered but unbroken, is back on display in Berlin. The "Berlin Sculpture Find," a collection of sixteen modernist masterpieces, has opened for the first time since 2019 at PETRI – The new house for Berlin Archaeology, offering a poignant and powerful confrontation with one of the darkest chapters of German history. Discovered by chance in 2010 during subway excavations across from the Rotes Rathaus (Red City Hall), the find immediately made global headlines. The sculptures—works by artists like Emy Roeder, Otto Freundlich, and Marg Moll—were found buried in the bomb-shattered cellar of a former commercial building at Königstraße 50. For months, the relationship between the modernist artworks and their burial site was a mystery. The puzzle was solved ... More
MILAN.- The exhibition Fata Morgana: Memories of the Invisible transforms the Baroque interiors of Palazzo Morando into a museum of visions—an atlas of unseen forces, apparitions, and ecstatic revelations. Conceived and produced by the Fondazione Nicola Trussardi for Palazzo Morando | Costume Moda Immagine, and curated by Massimiliano Gioni, Daniel Birnbaum, and Marta Papini, the show gathers more than two hundred works by seventy-eight historical and contemporary figures—from nineteenth-century mediums to modern mystics and artists propelled by trance, psychic automatism, and other states of altered perception. Fata Morgana explores the intersections between art, mysticism, esotericism, spiritualism, and ... More
BERLIN.- In cooperation with the Zentralarchiv, the Neue Nationalgalerie presents Max Ernst to Dorothea Tanning: Networks of Surrealism. Provenances from the Ulla and Heiner Pietzsch Collection. One hundred years after the “First Surrealist Manifesto” (1924), this exhibition gives new insights into the ramified networks of this international art movement of the 20th century. The focus is on both the histories of the art works and on life stories of Surrealism’s central artists, dealers, and collectors. On the basis of a representative selection of paintings and sculptures by artists such as Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, Leonor Fini, René Magritte, Joan Miró, and Dorothea Tanning, the exhibition showcases the findings of a research project on the provenances of artworks from the Ulla and Heiner Pietzsch Collection, which was realized jointly with the State of Berlin. ...

Autumn/winter 2025-26 season at MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art in Kraków KRAKOW.- This autumn, MOCAK opens five exhibitions that trace the shifting edges of perception, memory, and identity. Each inhabits a threshold—between image and echo, body and landscape, day and night. Gathering more than thirty artists from Poland, Belarus, Canada, and Japan, the exhibition transforms a private collection into a landscape of domestic unease. The title, taken from a novel by Olga Tokarczuk, evokes the permeability of light and shadow, of inner and outer worlds. The paintings speak of the home as a space that is both refuge and trap—a porous architecture of emotion, dream, and confinement. This is the first such extensive presentation of the collection of one of the most fascinating young collectors, offering a unique journey through the labyrinths of thought and imagery. Exhibition of intermedia works by the young Kraków-based artist, presenting ... More
