NEW ORLEANS, LA.- Tilden Foley Gallery in New Orleans is pleased to announce the discovery of a late 19th century Buddhist “visual sutra” by the American still life painter George W. Seavey (1841-1913). The circa 1890 still life of daffodils with a spray of violets may be the only 19th century Buddhist visual sutra in American Art history. At first glance, the painting appears to be a beautiful still life painting. However, upon further examination the camouflaged partial face of a meditating Buddha can be seen within the flowers, created by the light and dark shading in the upper left quadrant of the painting. Once seen, the face is remarkably clear and three dimensional. Once the Buddha face is revealed in the flowers, it becomes clear that the painting is a visual teaching or “sutra” on several of the core concepts of Buddhism, namely clarity of mind, non-attachment, and stillness……leading to Buddha nature arising. ...

That leaves one of the strongest superheroes of all time: Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman. While ... More

PARIS.- Almine Rech Paris, Turenne is presenting 'Home is Not a Place,' Jess Valice’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from June 14 to July 26, 2025. In this exhibition, Jess Valice delves into the complex and often contradictory nature of home, a concept that has long fascinated philosophers and poets. As Nietzsche and Rilke explored, it can be a source of comfort and belonging but also a realm of potential alienation. Her work grapples with this duality, reflecting on the yearning for a safe haven alongside the potential for even familiar places to become imbued with unease in the face of loss and change. The artist literally invites us into a unique installation, a representation of her bedroom, the ultimate symbol of sanctuary. Bathed in deep maroon-colored, the room evokes the primal safety of a womb or the rawness of an open wound. Opposite the bed, a video projection presents a sun-drenched backyard where the delicate chirping of birds creates an atmosphere ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- The Museum of Modern Art presents a focused exhibition dedicated to the 50-year lifespan of the Nakagin Capsule Tower, a groundbreaking project by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa (1934–2007) that was located in Tokyo’s Ginza District from 1972 until 2022. The Many Lives of the Nakagin Capsule Tower, on view from July 10, 2025, through July 12, 2026, in MoMA’s street-level galleries, presents capsule A1305 alongside nearly 45 pieces of contextual material that showcase the evolving and unexpected uses of the building. These materials include the project’s only surviving model from 1970–72; original drawings, photographs, and promotional ephemera; an archival film and audio recordings; interviews with former tenants; and an interactive virtual tour of the entire building. Marketed as micro-dwellings for commuting businessmen, the building was composed of two interconnected concrete- and-steel towers that ... More
Ding Yi, Appearance of Crosses 2022-B 17, 2022.
ST. MORITZ.- Galerie Karsten Greve St. Moritz is presenting Constellations, the second solo exhibition in Switzerland by internationally acclaimed artist Ding Yi. The show brings together selected works from various creative phases in recent years – including paintings on wood and canvas as well as works on handmade Tibetan and Indian paper – combining conceptual precision with a spiritual condensation of pictorial space. In line with his previous œuvre, the exhibited works reflect Ding Yi’s ongoing engagement with systems of order, visual language, and the aesthetic autonomy of the sign. In more recent works, the star emerges as a new element: the previously dominant cross and plus signs evolve into so-called “cross-stellations” – formations reminiscent of both celestial constellations and the vertical structures of modern metropolises. The resulting compositions resemble visual maps oscillating between science and transcendence. Since the 1990s, ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- An exhibition of artworks that formally and conceptually investigate maps, borders, directional systems, and distances is on view at Paula Cooper Gallery from July 8–August 8, 2025. In a time of heightened violence at geographical borders and boundaries, along with challenges to sovereignty and statehood around the world, the visual language of cartography is increasingly politicized. Dating from the early 1960s to the present day, the works in the exhibition question the presumed objectivity of cartographic conventions. As art moved outside in the 1960s and 1970s, maps were often used to conceive, plan and record site-specific projects. In the work of Douglas Huebler, Robert Morris, Richard Long and Robert Smithson maps document ambitious proposals and realized works that create environmental interventions using ... More
LONDON.- Flowers Gallery is presenting totally, completely, and absolutely – an exhibition of self- portraits spanning the last thirty years by acclaimed British artist Lucy Jones, on view until 2 August 2025. Recognised as one of the most distinct voices in contemporary self-portraiture, Jones’ raw and revealing self-portrayals are both personal and politically charged. Addressing themes of femininity, fragility, aging and disability in her work, she challenges societal perceptions of difference while looking inwards into her own internal dialogues. Born with cerebral palsy, she has long confronted the way society perceives difference, challenging the assumptions that her disability defines her. Instead, using her defiant ferocity, vulnerability and wry sense of humour, she turns the attention back onto the viewer. Once hesitant to paint herself, Jones has since embraced self-portraiture with unflinching honesty. Her expressive use of colour, bold mark-making, and distorted forms cre ... More
COLUMBIA, SC.- Sam Gilliam (1933 – 2022) was one of the great innovators in postwar American painting. Early in his career, he made clean-edged abstractions in line with the Washington Color School painters. He gradually loosened up his style, soaking or pouring colors directly onto his canvases and folding them before they dried — a technique that creates accordion lines and a deep sense of texture. Around 1965, Gilliam made his greatest stylistic innovation: He got rid of the stretcher bars that traditionally underpin a painting and draped his canvases from the wall like sheets from a clothesline. Gilliam began his printmaking in the 1970s. He would occasionally use traditional techniques such as screen printing but would also take his prints back to the studio to cut them apart and stitch them back together with a heavy nylon filament, resulting in a series of highly innovative and unique works. ...

ARLES.- Carine Krecké, a Luxembourgish artist known for her deeply investigative and interdisciplinary work, has been named the laureate of the Luxembourg Photography Award 2025. This prestigious recognition culminates in her exhibition, "Perdre le nord" (Losing North), set to open at the Chapelle de la Charité during the renowned Rencontres d'Arles festival in 2025. "Losing North" is a profound exploration of the Syrian war, a conflict that captured Krecké's attention in 2018 through Google Maps images of a devastated Arbin, a suburb of Damascus. What began as a chance encounter evolved into a six-year obsession, driving the artist into a relentless pursuit of information across official networks, online forums, and exchange platforms. Her work, a collaboration with her twin sister, economist and author Elisabeth Krecké, and curated by Kevin Muhlen, Director of Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain, delves into the fractured realities and human stories behind the ...

HELSINKI.- Charles Sandison’s new installation Tabula Rasa depicts words spilling out of open, empty books and moving towards each other in a continuous stream. The title refers to philosopher John Locke’s theory that humans begin life as a ‘blank slate’ onto which experiences and meanings are gradually imprinted. In Sandison’s Tabula Rasa, the blank slate is an ideological battlefield pitting words against each other as they compete to fill the empty pages. The installation juxtaposes diametric opposites such as good and evil, love and hate. The word streams are controlled by a simple set of algorithms and driven by chance. The outcome of the ideological battle is unpredictable. The words begin to migrate more vigorously as their numbers dwindle, and it can take days for one word to take over all the books. When the process finally reaches its conclusion, the system resets and begins all over again. Sandison’s artistic practice addresses the themes of memory, lingui ... More
"The child with the dust blanket", by Filippo Biagioli. Peggy Guggenheim Collection Library.
VENICE.- Biagioli is an Italian artist whose art invites reflection on the connection between the tribal man and the contemporary one. His artworks are situated in many important museums and artistic institutions, including the Kandinsky Library of Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Department of Prints and Drawings of British Museum (London), and the Library of National Palace Museum (Taipei), among others.The child with the dust blanket is a fable that traces the story of a child’s first steps into life. The main character carries a dust blanket that serves both as protection and as a metaphor: it represents the perceptual limitations that often prevent us from recognizing the true beauty surrounding us. As he grows, the child comes to trust only his clouded sight, gradually losing the ability to rely on his other senses – the ones capable of perceiving the world’s astonishment. In the end, only death and a purifying rain will reveal the reality already discovered ... More
BEDBURG-HAU.- For the first time, the internationally renowned artist Marina Abramović, together with the Marina Abramović Institute (MAI), ventures into a direct artistic dialogue with the legacy of Joseph Beuys, one of the most influential pioneers of performance art. It also marks the first occasion on which the MAI and the participating artists engage in a long-term project with the collection of an institution. Back in 2005, Abramović reperformed Beuys’ iconic performance “How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare” at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. The exhibition at Museum Schloss Moyland brings together the documentation of both performances and presents them in the context of historical archival materials, sculp- tures and drawings by Beuys from the ...

Major exhibition dedicated to Pascale Marthine on view at GALLERIA CONTINUA BOISSY-LE-CHÂTEL.- GALLERIA CONTINUA is presenting a major exhibition dedicated to Pascale Marthine Tayou, a leading figure in international contemporary art, at its Les Moulins site, located in Boissy-le-Châtel.

Kyoko Idetsu curated by Douglas Fogle on view at MASSIMODECARLO PARIS.- In his 1863 essay “The Painter of Modern Life,” Charles Baudelaire emitted a clarion call to artists asking them to turn away from the heroic depiction of myths, grand historical figures and events, and timeless ideals, and instead focus their attention on finding wonder in the transient and ephemeral aspects of modern everyday life. The Tokyo-based painter Kyoko Idetsu has spent the past decade or so deftly modifying Baudelaire’s suggested approach to the world by developing an observational methodology in which her own personal experiences – the minutiae of her everyday life – have become the building blocks of an intuitive and wonder-filled approach to painterly storytelling that owes as much to the historical conventions of painting as it does to the narrative aspects of manga and film. Her loose and stylistically open approach to figurative painting has allowed her to create surfaces ... More
Wael Shawky transforms La Grande Halle of LUMA Arles into an immersive experience ARLES.- Wael Shawky is a leading Egyptian contemporary artist who explores the multiple facets of historical and mythological narratives through diverse media including drawing, painting, performance, music and film. I Am Hymns of the New Temples is a site-specific exhibition that entirely transforms La Grande Halle of LUMA Arles into an immersive experience that blurs the lines between the real and the metaphysical. The site of ancient Pompeii—the legendary city that was buried under ash and volcanic debris for centuries—is key to the display. Today, its outstanding state of conservation offers a fascinating record of the diversity of cultures that shaped its identity, at the crossroads of civilizations and trade routes. Intertwining history, stories and contemporary narratives, Shawky reinterprets the ancient Greek myth of creation, combining a spectacular choreography of movement, ... More
Andrea Festa Fine Art inaugurates Sala Nova with Kottie Paloma's "A Savage Kind of Grace" ROME.- Andrea Festa Fine Art inaugurates Sala Nova with the solo exhibition “A Savage Kind of Grace" by Kottie Paloma. For this occasion, 11 pencil-on-paper drawings are presented, offering to exploration of fractured realities, cultural archetypes, and the absurdities embedded in contemporary life. Kottie Paloma’s new body of drawings continues an ongoing exploration of fractured realities, cultural archetypes, and the absurdities embedded in contemporary life. Rendered in pencil on paper, these drawings serve as both intimate confessions and brutal social commentaries. Titles like The Fall of Liberty, Cult Leader, and Shit Theme point to a deliberate tension between satire and sincerity—a recurring theme in his practice. There’s a visual rawness to these works that echoes the psychological charge of his large-scale acrylic on canvas paintings. Like his paintings, this series ... More
Descanso Gardens debuts "Roots of Cool" exhibition LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE, CA.- Descanso Gardens debuted Roots of Cool: A Celebration of Trees and Shade in a Warming World, a vibrant new indoor-outdoor exhibition spotlighting the vital role trees play in climate resilience and urban livability. Curated by Edith and Jolly de Guzman, Roots of Cool runs July 12 through October 12, 2025. The show invites visitors to reflect on “shade equity”—the idea that access to cooling shade is not distributed equally across communities. “When Descanso issued a curatorial call on the theme of trees, we were thrilled to apply and propose the topic of shade equity,” said curator Edith de Guzman, who is a Cooperative Extension climate researcher with the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation. “Even with all of the good intent to improve the livability of neighborhoods in a warming climate, it is clear that the challenges to providing life-protecting benefits ...

Liverpool Biennial opens 13th edition, 'BEDROCK' LIVERPOOL.- Liverpool Biennial opened its 13th edition ‘BEDROCK', unveiling a series of exhibitions and outdoor artworks across the city. ‘BEDROCK’, curated by Marie-Anne McQuay, draws on Liverpool’s distinctive geography and the beliefs which underpin the city. It is inspired by the sandstone which spans the city region and is found in its imposing architecture. ‘BEDROCK’ also acts as a metaphor for the unique social foundations of Liverpool, haunted by empire, and the people, places and values that ground us. The participating artists for Liverpool Biennial 2025 are: Alice Rekab (Ireland/Sierra Leone); Amber Akaunu (UK/Nigeria); Amy Claire Mills (Australia); Ana Navas (Venezuela/Ecuador/Netherlands); Anna Gonzalez Noguchi (Spain/Japan/UK); Antonio Jose Guzman & Iva Jankovic (Netherlands/Panama/Serbia); Cevdet Erek (Turkey); ChihChung Chang 張致中 (Taiwan/Netherlands); ...

GRAY presents a new body of work by Alex Katz CHICAGO, IL.- Though titled after the hit television show about a resort hotel and the psychosocial relations of its guests and employees, White Lotus by Alex Katz bears no – or perhaps a mysterious – relation to HBO’s dark comedy. White Lotus is a testament not only to Katz’s nonstop creative output, but also his status as one of the most groundbreaking American artists of both the 20th and 21st centuries. Throughout his many years of relentless production, Katz has propelled American painting through his cool, flat depictions of figures and landscapes, and yet, he has also managed to avoid the pigeonholings of Pop, Realism, and Minimalism. As Calvin Tomkins noted in his 2018 profile of Katz for The New Yorker, “He has always had his own direction, which has not been the direction of mainstream art in any of the last seven decades.” This path has always been guided, ...

French textile artist Jeanne Vicerial presents an exhibition at Templon Paris PARIS.- The show is an ode to transformation in all its facets. Vicerial depicts it in various forms: as an awakening of the material, illustrated by the work in tribute to Pierre Soulages where the beyond-black thread stretched taut on the canvas suddenly flows in waves to the floor; as artistic creation via a process of exploration and experimentation, the process that precedes the nascent work, and as the gestation that is exclusive to viviparous beings. Silent presences watch the visitor in a room transformed into what could be a private bedroom or holy chapel, draped in black, the lighting subdued. Engrossed in a romantic embrace, in the middle of giving birth or living out their twilight years, they seem to be in the grip of a transition. Like a moment frozen in time, Vicerial attempts to capture the transformation paving the way to the (re)birth of these unclassifiable beings, these supernatural ... More

On a day like today, Austrian painter Gustav Klimt was born
July 14, 1862. Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 - February 6, 1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. Klimt is noted for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d'art. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. In this image: Lady with a Muff (1916-1917).
