"The catalogue raisonné is incredibly meaningful to me. It's a nice reminder of the many things I've done, and seeing the documentation of decades of work allows for reflection and new insights."
Art on the Underground was launched in 2000, with site-specific works exploring themes of community, space and place. David Gentleman's 'Cross for Queen Eleanor', for example, is synonymous with Charing Cross, while Eric Aumonier's sculpture 'The Archer' looks imperiously over East Finchley station, linking the site to its historic surroundings as an ancient hunting area.
Kamrooz Aram is everywhere this year, from Mumbai Art Week to the Whitney Biennial, and critic Aruna D'Souza is grateful. She pens a beautiful meditation on his work, reading his abstract paintings as not simply a denunciation of Western modernism nor a reassertion of Islamic visual motifs, but something else entirely - something gestural, exuberant, riotous, and incomparably his own.
The RA is led by leading artists and architects, with the UK's oldest-and, crucially, free-art school at its heart. The opportunity to shape the RA's artistic programme and respond to its extraordinary gallery spaces, as well as launching the expanded Collection Gallery, is tremendously exciting.
Tate Modern museum in London announced its slate of 2027 exhibitions, including an opera-inspired installation by David Hockney in the revered Turbine Hall marking the artist's 90th birthday, Algerian artist Baya's debut U.K. solo show, and the first-ever exhibition devoted entirely to French impressionist Claude Monet since the Tate Modern opened 26 years ago.
After hearing gallerists' complaints about the rising cost of fair participation, he says he began planning Enzo last summer with the goal of creating a low-cost, collegial environment. "There's no build-out, there's no division, there are no walls," he says. "It feels almost like one presentation amongst nine galleries I really love."
'trace] the evolution of the imagery of affection, seduction, conversation, male camaraderie and the sociability of the café and theatre, as well as merry-making, flirtation, courtship and child-rearing in Renoir's art'
In the story of art history-the art and artists, movements and trends-a select number of galleries have played a defining role in the evolution and trajectory of art itself. Among them, the Mayor Gallery in London is surely one, as it has maintained a position fostering and promoting some of the most significant developments in art for an astounding 100 years.
The Courtauld has announced plans for two new contemporary art galleries and a reading room at London's Somerset House, supported by a £10m gift from the Blavatnik Family Foundation. The donation brings the Foundation's total support for the institution to £20m. The Blavatnik Contemporary Galleries are expected to open in 2029 as part of a wider campus redevelopment, costing £82m. This redevelopment will also involve the construction of a new Blavatnik Reading Room inside the Courtauld's remodelled library.
It's not that advertising campaigns are never announced, but when they are, it's usually in advertising trade magazines, and generally by the agency that did the work. The client doesn't normally issue a press release that essentially says, "We are putting up some posters."
