NEW YORK, NY.- Over seven decades, the Abrams family revolutionized the fine art and illustrated book publishing industry, bringing art into the homes of millions through the publication of beautiful and meticulously written books. The art they collected through patriarch Harry N. Abrams and his son Robert [Bob] Abrams was of the same uncompromising quality and scholarly depth, driven by a shared passion for championing artists. This Fall, Sotheby’s will offer works from the Abrams Family Collection, a multigenerational effort that tells the story of one family’s passion for art and for amplifying artistic voices through the power of print, expanding the art historical canon within the 20th Century, and forging friendships along the way.

	BAD PROJECTION. The “C-Project” sounds like a shady plan hatched by shady people in a budget sci-fi film. In reality, it’s not far off. Thirty years ago, Guy Barron and his wife Nora – two of America’s leading art collectors – invited 20 of the era’s biggest artists down to Miami. As part of C-Project, the couple wined and dined the creative cohort, which included John Baldessari, Louise Bourgeois, Chuck Close, RoyLichtenstein, Dorothea Rockburne, Ed Ruscha, and James Turrell,...

Van Gogh never got to enjoy his own historic success as an artist (even though we've been able to imagine what that moment might have looked like). But it turns out that those of us who have appreciated his work have been missing out on some critical details for more than 100 years.I'm not easily impressed, OK?I know Van Gogh was a genius. If the point of this were "Van Gogh was a mad genius," I would not be sharing this with you.

In 125 years, millions of people have looked at this painting. No one really saw it until recently.

SEOUL.- Thaddaeus Ropac announced international representation of Korean painter and sculptor Lee Kang-So (b.1943, Daegu). Recognised as one of Korea’s foremost contemporary artists, since the 1970s he has worked across photography, painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation and performance, profoundly shaping the evolution of Korean contemporary art.

Rustam Khamdanbayev: The interior of the Uruk restaurant aims to move away from the clichéd solutions typical of Eastern interiors: floral patterns and ornaments, pointed arches, mosaic panels, and bright color schemes. Instead of creating yet another stereotypical "Eastern" space, the goal was to convey the atmosphere with a subtle presentation of stylized yet recognizable elements of the decor, craftsmanship, and everyday life of nomadic Turkic peoples. The restrained color palette forms a cohesive and complete image of the interior, with the main highlight being kinetic installations specifically developed for this project by me.

Karima Walker, Graves for the Rain performance process documentation, 2023. Photograph by Karima Walker. Courtesy of the artist. TUCSON, AZ.- MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) presents Graves for the Rain, the first solo museum exhibition by artist and musician Karima Walker who works with sound, sculpture, and durational performance to consider ecological practices and grief in response to the hydrological death of the Santa Cruz River. Through recurring performances, Walker builds up an earthen sculpture and an immersive audio piece, accumulating layers of river material and sound over the course of the exhibition. Informed by the history of human intervention to the river and her ongoing sonic engagement with the landscape, Walker seeks to understand the ways we relate to the land. Attuning to the river through listening and movement, she states, “I’m holding the microphone up to the river’s mouth, circling and circling, grieving in the absence of the body. Can I hear what the river is saying?”

Lucid dreaming has a long and ornate pop cultural history, with Christopher Nolan’s film Inception representing something of apex for depictions of it on screen. (There’s also a generation that was scarred by the snakeman in 1984’s Dreamscape, which remains — appropriately enough — the stuff of nightmares.) But lucid dreaming isn’t just about bending cityscapes and Tom Hardy showing up with a wisecrack. Instead, there’s a growing body of evidence that suggests that it can have real benefits in one’s waking life as well.

Who was Michael Rockefeller? Born into one of America's wealthiest families, Michael Rockefeller was the son of New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller. He became known for his adventurous spirit and passion for anthropology. In 1961, at the age of 23, Michael ventured to New Guinea to study the Asmat people, a remote tribe known for their intricate wood carvings. His journey took a mysterious turn when his boat capsized, and he disappeared without a trace. Did he drown, or was he captured by the Asmat tribe? Theories abound, but his fate remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century.
