Marie Bracquemond, On the Terrace at Sèvres, 1880. Oil on canvas, 88 x 115 cm. Association of Friends of the Petit Palais, Geneva. Photo Studio Monique Bernaz, Geneva.
LAUSANNE.- The Fondation de l’Hermitage hosts a particularly unusual collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist masterpieces from the Petit Palais, Geneva. In the 1950s Oscar Ghez, an industrialist of Tunisian origin, began acquiring works that reflect his remarkably free approach to collecting, with an interest in late-19th and early 20th century painting that was not confined to the great masters. Alongside magnificent works by Édouard Manet and Auguste Renoir, Ghez also acquired superb paintings by artists lesser known at the time, such as Gustave Caillebotte, Charles Angrand, Maximilien Luce and Louis Valtat, some of whom have since become iconic. Ghez also purchased many paintings by women, including Marie Bracquemond, Jeanne Hébuterne, Nathalie Kraemer, Tamara de Lempicka and Suzanne Valadon, long before their work began to be studied and ultimately received the recognition it deserved. ...

Emily Carr, Strangled by Growth, 1931, oil on canvas, Collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery, Emily Carr Trust, VAG 42.3.42.
VANCOUVER.- The Vancouver Art Gallery launched a new year-long exhibition about one of the most significant artists in Canada’s history, Emily Carr (1871–1945). Featuring more than 20 of Carr’s signature forest paintings, Emily Carr: Navigating an Impenetrable Landscape recognizes the natural world as one of Carr’s lifelong inspirations, taking as its subject the experience of imaginatively entering the space of the forests that she painted. Visitors will encounter a densely hung group of paintings of thick forest scenes faced off on the opposite wall by a single Carr painting of a clear-cut landscape with an open horizon. The exhibition deliberately draws out the physical experience of the opening and closing-off of space in Carr’s forest scenes. “Emily Carr’s forest paintings profoundly shaped the way British Columbians perceive their surroundings to this day,” says Anthony Kiendl, CEO & Executive Director of the Vancouver Art Gallery. “We are honoure ...

RIGA.- From 25 January to 27 April 2025, the Art Museum Riga Bourse in Riga presents a retrospective exhibition by the prominent French artist Bernar Venet, Painting: From Rational to Virtual. 1966–2024, offering a closer look at his oeuvre and significant contribution to the 20th- and 21st-century Conceptual art. Bernar Venet (1941) is one of the most charismatic figures on the contemporary art scene, a pioneer of Conceptual art. Throughout his career spanning more than 60 years, Venet has been known for producing work that has never ceased to pose questions, and for having been the principal innovator to introduce mathematical linguistics into art. “Bernar Venet constantly challenges the limits of his ideas, possibilities, life, and art as a process. For him, making art means articulating and transforming while involving various disciplines – science, mathematics, music, architecture, physics, geometry, as well as what is happening in the media space,” says Una Meistere, one of the project ...

SALZBURG.- This exhibition brings together two of Arnulf Rainer’s celebrated series on the occasion of the artist’s 95th birthday: the Goya paintings and Landscapes, both created between 1983 and 1992. In his uncompromising search for new means of expression, Rainer developed radical approaches to art, establishing him as one of the most influential artists of the post-war period. The exhibition at Thaddaeus Ropac Salzburg coincides with a major institutional exhibition at the Arnulf Rainer Museum in Baden near Vienna, on view until 5 October 2025. Through overpainting Rainer effectively enters into a dialogue with the works of other artists and into a conversation with himself. […] A comparison to works by other artists, against the backdrop of various art movements or cultural contexts, reveals their idiosyncrasies, the special position they occupy in twentieth-century art history. — Nikolaus Kratzer, curator of the current exhibition Arnulf Rainer: Nothingness Against Every ...

AMSTERDAM.- Foam is presenting a major retrospective exhibition of the celebrated American artist Saul Leiter (1923–2013). Leiter is seen as one of the most important photographers of the 1950’s in the United States, and a pioneer of colour photography. This exhibition brings together over 200 works, consisting of photography, both black-and-white and colour, as well as his abstract paintings. His eclectic oeuvre reveals a practice using shadow, light, and reflections to craft layered compositions. For nearly sixty years, Leiter photographed daily, capturing everyday moments of New York City life. With various techniques and mediums, and the use of telephoto lenses, Leiter would enhance the painterly quality of his images and transform seemingly mundane street scenes into visual poetry. New York, a symbol of modernity in the 1950s, became the backdrop for Leiter’s aesthetic discoveries. By ... More

KASSEL.- The Fridericianum celebrates the institutional debut of the artist Lee Kit in Germany with a concentrated solo exhibition.

Under the title His gaze has turned into disdain for those who are well-intentioned yet incapable. (A quiet day), Lee creates an expansive installation that dissolves all boundaries between artistic disciplines and offers art lovers a deep dive into the poetic, psychological, and sociopolitical dimensions of his art.

LONDON.- A rare and significant piece of ancient Egyptian history is set to be auctioned by Apollo Art Auctions on January 26, 2025. The item, a beautifully crafted alabaster shabti of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, is expected to fetch between £12,000 and £20,000. Amenhotep III, known as "The Magnificent," ruled during the 18th Dynasty (circa 1360-1349 BC), a period of great prosperity and artistic achievement in ancient Egypt. Shabtis were funerary figurines placed in tombs to act as servants for the deceased in the afterlife. This particular shabti is of exceptional quality, depicting the pharaoh as Osiris, the god of the afterlife, holding the crook and flail—symbols of royal authority. What makes this shabti particularly noteworthy is its royal provenance. The torso bears inscriptions of six partial columns from Chapter 6 of the Egyptian Boo ... More
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Loyola Marymount University’s Laband Art Gallery presents the West Coast debut of “Ghosts of Segregation: Photographs by Rich Frishman,” a nationally recognized exhibition of more than 30 engrossing color photographs that reveal the lingering presence of racism made visible in our national landscape.

Camila Oliveira Fairclough, Calendrier du coeur abstrait (after Arp), 2021, acrylic on canvas, 70 x 60 cm
AMSTERDAM.- The work of Camila Oliveira Fairclough (Rio de Janeiro, 1979) playfully navigates the contours of figuration and abstraction within the imagery and language of popular culture. She borrows from everyday mundanity and translates it into a painterly practice that likes to toy with what canonically is and what is not considered painting. Arguably, her work reflects on the idea of painting in a tongue-in-cheek manner, yet behind the humorous facade there lies an interest in the linguistic process that occurs when painting words and symbols. Captured in painting, the meaning of a word or a symbol starts fading away whilst the image emerges, becoming something else. Camila Oliveira Fairclough is interested in the ambiguity between what is visible and what is readable, or, in other words, images as words and words as images. In a similar vein to the ready-made, she thinks of her work as an unexpected encounter with an object in which what is represented is at odds with its medium. Despite the ... More

Yael Medrez Pier's "Pájaro de Fuego": Portraits of Mexico's Indigenous communities at MARC STRAUS NEW YORK, NY.- MARC STRAUS is presenting Pájaro de Fuego, Yael Medrez Pier's first solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition features a striking collection of seven new portraits of Mexico's indigenous communities, offering a powerful visual reflection on cultural identity, history, and personal narrative. Pier's approach to portraiture is deeply immersive and thoughtful. Over the years, she has traveled throughout Mexico, visiting indigenous communities that balance life and customs between modernity and tradition. It is the local villages that serve as spaces of cultural preservation, and it is here that she connects with her subjects on a personal level. Pier conducts interviews with the women she portrays, which allows her to build a relationship based on understanding. This relationship, she says, allows her to paint not only their likenesses, ...

Fairfield University Art Museum presents 'To See This Place: Awakening to Our Common Home' FAIRFIELD, CONN.- Fairfield University Art Museum is presenting To See This Place: Awakening to Our Common Home, an exhibition of works by Athena LaTocha, Mary Mattingly, and Tyler Rai—all of which are personal responses to our climate crisis—on view January 24 through March 29, 2025, in the Museum’s Walsh Gallery in the Quick Center for the Arts.

Kinetic, video, and interactive: Zhang Peili's largest solo exhibition to date opens at Red Brick BEIJING.- Red Brick Art Museum presents the recent works of artist Zhang Peili. Curated by Zhang Ga, Zhang Peili’s survey marks the largest solo exhibition to date by the artist, a pivotal figure in Chinese contemporary art, and features kinetic, video, and interactive installations ranging from monumental structures to vernacular objects created in recent years. Across his 40-year career, Zhang Peili’s work has been anchored by a recurring motif: repetition, often executed with ritualistic precision and imbued with characteristic ambiguity. Exacting in its execution yet multivalent in its signification, Zhang Peili’s repetition is further complicated by the notions of redundancy and recursion. Beneath this trinity of formal apparatus lies the mobilization of the grid system—sometimes expressed as a singular reticulation, other times manifested ... More
New paintings explore movement and transformation at GALLERIA CONTINUA SAN GIMIGNANO .- GALLERIA CONTINUA is hosting a new solo exhibition by the promising young contemporary artist Marta Spagnoli. Fantasmata, the title of the exhibition, features a cycle of never before seen works created in 2024. These works stem from an in-depth exploration of the image and its potential for movement and transformation. Building on key themes from her recent research such as the influence of natural and social environments on human beings, dance, and the symbolic presence of organic and animal forms the artist centers her reflections on the concept of Fantasmata. The word Fantasmata belongs to Western philosophical discourse and is also found in the world of dance. It describes a sudden pause between two consecutive movements, moments that virtually encapsulate the past, present, and future memory of an ... More
Kerlin Gallery opens an exhibition of handmade works on paper by Richard Gorman DUBLIN.- Japan presents over two decades of Richard Gorman’s celebrated works on paper, focusing on the motif of the circle. For over thirty years, Gorman has been visiting Echizen, a mountainous region of Japan, to handcraft washi paper alongside the skilled artisans of the family-run Iwano Heizaburo paper mill. The mill uses a traditional technique in which kōzo (mulberry) pulp is boiled, beaten, then set in sukibune trays, before being pressed and dried. In some of Gorman’s works, gouache is applied to the surface of the finished paper; for others, Gorman developed a process in which dye is soaked directly into the pulp then shaped in moulds, allowing for a deeper saturation of colour. In both instances, Gorman’s bold, elemental forms enter a playful tension with the tactile, organic texture of the paper. The circle, often a symbol of perfection and symmetry ... More
Exhibition presents artwork inspired by Orkney's landscape and natural environment EDINBURGH.- This January, the Royal Scottish Academy presents In Orcadia, an exhibition of artwork inspired Orkney's landscape and natural environment. The exhibition includes a new body of work from Samantha Clark, the inaugural winner of the RSA MacRobert Art Award for Painting. Funded by the MacRobert Trust, this £20,000 award, which Clark received in October 2023, provides financial assistance for a committed painter whose circumstances have, for whatever reason, made it difficult to focus upon and develop their artistic talent. Based in Birsay, Orkney, Clark describes her work as ‘a meditation on water and time, and a response to the natural environment of Orkney’. The award has supported her in an intensive period of creative study, focusing on the waters in and around Orkney, exploring how painting can sensitively attend and respond to this challenging and vital element. Her work is focused on drawing and painting, shaped by Orkney’s deeply layered human histories and its dynamic natural en ... 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).
