Exhibition view "Frankfurt forever! Photographs by Carl Friedrich Mylius". Photo: Städel Museum – Norbert Miguletz.
FRANKFURT.- His photographs are a journey through time. Carl Friedrich Mylius (1827–1916) shaped the image of Frankfurt like no other photographer. From the Zeil, the Eschenheimer Turm, the Goethe Monument and the Römer to the banks of the Main, he captured the city’s most famous sights. In doing so, he became a pioneer of architectural photography more than 150 years ago. The Städel Museum is devoting the first major solo exhibition to Carl Friedrich Mylius, featuring some eighty works. The occasion is the donation of 180 photographs from a private collection, which perfectly complement the Städel’s historical holdings of Carl Friedrich Mylius’s photographs and make them accessible to a broad public. In the 19th century, Frankfurt was an important destination for travellers as a historic site of imperial coronations, as a trade fair city and because of its geographical location near the Middle Rhine. With the rise of tourism, Carl Friedrich Mylius’s photographs of sights ... More
HONG KONG.- For his third solo show at Gallery Kamel Mennour and his first in the Matignon location, MLK transforms the space into a chimeric domestic set. A day bed, two chairs, some new paintings, a bunch of unisex clothes, and a curtain of floating pompons define the interior of Princess PomPom, the avatar of the artist he created 10 years ago in Sao Paulo. The room stands like a physical rebus. There is no focal point. Loosely but surely, connections appear though. Relations, rather than resolutions, emerge. This show is a multi directional chamber of echo. A few months ago, Matthew came across a book, Pacem in terries (Peace on earth) published after the Geneva World peace conference in 1967. With photo collages and quotes from only men, the book belongs, in many ways from another era. It was dedicated to Martin Luther King whose seminal speech at Riverside Church ... More

Henry Gibbs, Aeneas and his Family Fleeing Burning Troy 1654.
LONDON.- Tate welcomes recommendations made by a new Spoliation Advisory Panel report on Henry Gibbs’ Aeneas and his family fleeing Burning Troy. The report examines compelling new evidence on the painting’s history and recommends restitution to the heirs of Jewish Belgian Art Collector Samuel Hartveld. The Spoliation Advisory Panel resolves claims from people, or their heirs, who lost possession of cultural property during the Nazi era, which is now held in UK national collections. Tate fully supports the report’s findings and has worked closely with the claimants and panel as new information on the artwork’s provenance has emerged. Tate Director Maria Balshaw said: “It is a profound privilege to help reunite this work with its rightful heirs, and I am delighted to see the spoliation process working successfully to make this happen. Although ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Pace announced its presentation for the 2025 edition of Frieze New York. Curated by Adam Pendleton, the gallery's booth will feature six of his recent paintings alongside six new and recent sculptures by Lynda Benglis. This year’s edition of Frieze New York will coincide with Adam Pendleton: Love, Queen, an exhibition on view at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. from April 4, 2025 to January 3, 2027—anchoring the institution’s 50th anniversary celebration.

AMSTERDAM.- In under two years, Vincent van Gogh made 26 portraits of members of a single family. A special relationship developed between Van Gogh and the postman Joseph Roulin, his wife Augustine and their three children in Arles, in the South of France, which would lead to one of the most impressive portrait series in art history. A large number of portraits from this unique series, which are now in museums and private collections around the world, are being reunited for the first time this autumn in the exhibition Van Gogh and the Roulins. Together Again at Last. This exhibition was realised in collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, which is home to two key works from the series: Joseph Roulin and La Berceuse. Other loans from the series are from museums including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Kröller-Müller Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningenand Museum Folkwang in Essen. Featuring more than twenty loans from prominent inte ... More
FRANKFURT.- Troika’s work explores the shifting boundaries between nature and artificiality, the real and the romantic, the living and the nonliving. The German-French collective examines how new technologies affect our relationship with the world. Founded in 2003, Troika—comprised of the artist trio Eva Rucki, Conny Freyer, and Sebastien Noel—works across various media, including sculpture, film, installation, and painting. For the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, the group developed a site-specific, immersive installation combining new and existing works, which appeal to different senses of perception. They explore alternative forms of intelligence—plant, animal, human, artificial—and how they probe the understanding of place in a more-than-human world. The exhibition reflects upon earthly and otherworldly landscapes and the transformation of nature in the ... More

PARIS.- ‘Frank Bowling. Collage,’ the artist’s first solo exhibition in France, explores collage as a conceptual tool and technique for Bowling’s practice and thinking. The exhibition features works from the early 2000s up until the present day, where at the age of 91 Bowling still paints on a daily basis. The starting point for the show is reflected in four new large-scale paintings on display in the ground floor gallery, which are comprised of multiple canvas panels. These monumental works—including the 4.4 meter-tall ‘Skid’ (2023)—are a renewal of Bowling’s use of collaged canvas and marouflage, which has long formed an important part of his practice. The exhibition is complemented by an academic program, the first of its kind for our Parisian gallery, driven by the shared passion for education and learning by Frank Bowling and Hauser & Wirth. This includes ... More

Markus Jeschaunig, Königsgrube (King’s Pit), 2025. Photo: Daniel Sadrowski.
BOCHUM.- A former pumping station is now an art installation; the name it retains has an auspicious ring to it: Königsgrube—the King’s Pit. The past and the present shape Markus Jeschaunig’s work in which he has transformed fragments of the dismantled building into a hybrid landscape. From 1860 to 1967, coal mining at the Königsgrube pit in Herne was extremely productive; but once the black gold had been fully removed the ground that remained was depleted and riddled with holes. The pumping station’s purpose was to channel the wastewater from neighbouring municipalities into the Emscher river—untill the closure of the coal mine made underground wastewater disposal possible and the pumping station was shut down. Jeschaunig used the partially filled-in substructure to build an installation that sculpturally integrates various elements of the building: a part of one staircase has been preserved; three pipes tower up to create a solardriven fountain from which ...

LKFF Art Projects presents rare exhibition of Hanneke Beaumont's works on paper BEERSEL.- LKFF Art Projects is presenting a unique exhibition dedicated to the works on paper by Dutch artist Hanneke Beaumont. « Largely unknown and somewhat hesitatingly exhibited, the drawings are among the most soulful aspects of her oeuvre. These are not preparatory works that lead to a model or to a full-scale sculpture, but the drawings occur within the sculptural process or occur as reflections after particular works. » Prof. J. A. Becherer, « The Quiet Between » While she is best known for her androgynous human figures in terracotta, bronze and iron, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to explore a lesser-known but integral aspect of her artistic practice: her drawings. Beaumont’s approach to drawing is inherently sculptural. She emphasises volume, relief, and matter, echoing the natural pigments and surface treatments that characterise her sculptures. Beaumont ...
