Peter Halley Returns to Austria with First Solo Show in Two Decades

In many ways working in the tradition of Kazimir Malevich and Josef Albers, his compositions employ a language of squares and rectangles known as "Cells" and "Prisons," connected by bold lines called "Conduits." Together, these geometric and linear arrangements tap into the inherent geometry that structure reality, and conceptually refer to the construction of everyday life, both public and private as well as physical and psychological.

Review of 'The Double' at GHMP Prague | Berlin Art Link

Abjection often conjures images of horror-filth, ugliness, death-in their most visceral, corporeal form. Yet what we tend to neglect are abject forms of the mind: a kind of psychic horror that arises from the slippery grip we have on our sense of self.

It's dedicated exclusively to female artists, from Frida Kahlo to Tracey Emin': readers' favourite unsung museums in Europe

We visited the Female Artists of the Mougins Museum, in Mougins, a small village on a hill near Cannes. Full of exclusively female artists from Berthe Morisot in the 19th century and Frida Kahlo in the early 20th to contemporary figures such as Tracey Emin it houses an incredible collection of often overlooked art and artists. We visited on a rainy October day and it was remarkably quiet and calm. I particularly enjoyed the abstract works well worth a trip up the hill.

'What does the second F in Tefaf truly stand for?'

In establishing the fair, a foundation (stichting in Dutch) seemed the most fitting legal entity for the purpose of creating an event 'run by dealers, for dealers... so that nobody had an advantage over anybody else.' That Tefaf operates as a not-for-profit differentiates it from other major art fair brands. There are no shareholders demanding a return, no owners to primp the thing for sale.

Juxtapoz Magazine - Krzysztof Grzybacz "To Empty Out" @ Mendes Wood DM, Brussels

Behind its seemingly polished framework, To Empty Out emerges as an exhibition beautifully rife with contradictions that overlay serious and playful themes according to Grzybacz, who often sets out to "clash the forces" of gravity and levity through his chosen subjects. Through sublime florals, bawdy scenes, and raw portraits of social life, Grzybacz balances contemplation and observation, navigating between painterly precision and intuitive expression in this deeply personal exhibition.
