Thank you Savannah Morning News and writer Beth Logan for highlighting the Art Quilters of the Lowcountry exhibition at the Coastal Discovery Museum. The exhibit, "Imagine," opens on July 16 and runs through Oct. 6, with free admission. We are excited to showcase over 60 works by these 5 unique fiber artists in our main gallery. Join us for the opening reception on Thursday, July 18, from 5 to 7 pm. Jody Wigton, a longtime member of the Art Quilters, shared: “People don’t realize how much can be done with fabric. They are often incredulous that the quilts are not paintings. Whether they are quilters or not, they are truly amazed."

In the heart of Paris, the Salon exhibitions of yore were the epitome of artistic validation. The conservative gaze of the Salon's jury was both, a gatekeeper and a catalyst. Many artists yearned for a nod from the Salon, while others faced rejection, an unyielding reminder of conventional confines. But adversity often breeds innovation. The Impressionists, snubbed by the Salon's rigid aesthetics, carved out their own venues of expression, challenging the status quo and eventually reshaping the art world's landscape. Much like the Impressionists, we too face "Salons" in our professional arenas, the traditional gatekeepers evaluating our work through a conventional lens. Yet, it's the pushback, the challenge to conform, that fuels creativity and ushers in the new. When faced with rejection, remember, it's merely a nudge towards a path less trodden, towards innovation. The Salon's legacy isn't just about the accepted; it's profoundly about the rejected who dared to think differently, and in doing so, crafted a new narrative. Let the "No's" propel you into uncharted territories, and like the Impressionists, you might just redefine the standards. #Innovation #Creativity #OvercomingRejection https://lnkd.in/dZRxnVSS)

The Defining Art Events of 2023. If the art world in 2023 could be defined by one word, it would probably be scandal. From the multiple crises that embroiled the British Museum to investigations on human remains implicating the Smithsonian and the American Museum of Natural History, to say nothing of the near constant seizures and repatriations across the institutional sphere, this was the year museums took a beating. Architect David Adjaye, advisor Lisa Schiff, and Yayoi Kusama all found themselves in hot water, while the fallout over the October 7 attack in Israel by the militant group Hamas and the resulting war on Gaza continues to upend the art world. 2023 was also the year that the pandemic boom times, marked by big debuts, rampant speculation, and a flood of new galleries, finally ended. The all-important auctions in May and November were middling at best, and while the art world’s fair calendar was in full swing, the usual optimism was not. The euphemism “market correction” could be heard across the trade as uncertainty was the name of the game. The sentiment from most major figures in the art world on 2023 seems fairly uniform: they’re just glad it’s over. Below, a look back at the defining events of 2023. #artcollecting #artexhibition #artmuseum #artinvesting #artinvestment #artcollector #artnews #artworld #artmarket #artmarketnews #artauction #artgallery #artfair #arthistory #artworld #fair #worldrecord #modernart #impressionism #postwar #contemporaryart #auctionrecord

Timorous Beasties is to present Toile Tales at Musée de la Toile de Jouy, including a retrospective exhibition and special display of new toiles to accompany a series of tales (9th February – 19th May). 👉 https://loom.ly/k8aBSHM To complement this 2024 retrospective exhibition, Timorous Beasties are introducing a new collection of Toile Tales. Inspired by some of the earliest Oberkampf toile patterns depicting Fontaine’s fables, they have developed an oblique divergence whereby toile has come to represent a unique form of story-telling. Indeed, as a popular source of entertainment, as well as instruction regarding the vagaries of human nature, the brevity of fables lent themselves perfectly to instantly recognisable vignettes of pattern and repeat. #commercialinteriros

I recently came across an article by Dayla Alberge in The Guardian which I found super interesting. Alberge posits that The National Gallery, following Julian Spalding's comments, should scrap their 1990 agreement with the Tate to stop their collection in 1900, allowing for modern and contemporary art to be hung alongside old masters in the collection, ahead of their re-opening on Monday 17th May. The NG is perhaps the UK’s greatest site to witness old masters, with over 2,300 works of art. Yet an undeniable issue the NG possesses is its representation within the collection. Currently 0.9% of art in the collection is by women artists, while the presence of minority ethnic artists is essentially non-existent. Of course, this is a tricky issue to tackle, due to historic structural issues (systemic racism, being a clear example), there is a fairly limited pool of old masters created by minority groups that the NG could enter into their collection. This fact clearly doesn’t help that only one in five visitors to London’s museums are from a Black or minority ethnic background, despite this group making up one third of London’s residents. With this in mind, I realised that by incorporating contemporary art in the NG, it will allow them to redress this issue, serving its intended visitors in the best possible way - the national public. One can only imagine the exciting new curatorial practices which could be facilitated by the ushering in of contemporary arts to the NG. Imagine Dosso Dossi’s “A Man Embracing a Woman”, 1524, which deals with themes of sexual violence, paired with (for example), Tracy Emin’s “Rape”, 2018. These daring, unconventional curatorial juxtapositions would result in not only greater exposure for emerging or underrepresented artists, but could spark new conversations/insights into old masters, which audiences may no longer feel resonate with their own lives. The article in essence made me think of contemporary art’s power to make a collection relevant today - offering a traditionally white, heteronormative space, exciting new curatorial possibilities, a greater range of artists from different backgrounds, and subsequently more diverse visitors, ultimately bringing egalitarianism to the NG. #nationalgallery #curation #art #contemporaryart #renaissance #curator #modernart #gallery #museum

#Dresden #artteft #weenix #provenance #provenanceresearch #arthistory #restitution #collectionmanagement #récolement Dresden Museum "had no image of the missing painting. The inventory number on the back also did not match with the Dresden inventory number, so it took some time to identify the painting conclusively." On the importance of good collection management practices: photograph the work, make sure it is accessioned, and mark it with the correct accession number. The provenance could have been established years earlier - maybe even 1984 when it came back on the market, had the museum adopted these (hopefully, it is the case at The British Museum). https://lnkd.in/eWYkmygu

Do you avoid ‘boring’ art galleries because they’re too posh? Our study of 2,000 adults found that 1 in 5 have never been to an art gallery as they feel they’re too ‘posh’. 29% worried they would find galleries boring, 14% thought they would struggle to understand the art they are looking at and 13% worry they are too ‘stuffy’ or formal. OnePoll’s latest research for Gala Bingo and Capture Communications found that 46% believe the idea that a gallery is only for ‘posh’ people is a common misconception, while 43% think it’s wrong that they are only seen as interesting if you like art. 🤫 31% wrongly believe that you have to be quiet in galleries. 😄 40% think galleries should be places where you can have fun. 🖼️ 53% think anyone who hasn’t been to a gallery at all or recently should give it another try as they might really enjoy it. We also found that 32% wrongly believe galleries are just full of big paintings on the wall and 29% felt they were only for older people. 3 in 10 also like viewing art with other people, rather than on their own, only 59% of those like to discuss opinions on individual pieces, while 34% appreciate being offered a perspective they may not have seen. Sara Jolly, head of Gala Bingo brand, said: “It’s interesting to see the different perceptions of art galleries. Art galleries are not exclusive clubs for the elite, they are open forums for creativity and expression. Anyone can walk through those doors and connect with the beauty and diversity of art.” Click the link below to view the top 10 reasons people haven’t visited an art gallery and let us know your thoughts on galleries in the comments: https://lnkd.in/eBffpCHe #Gallery #Art #Insights #PR

Is this what a more collaborative, community-centered art market could look like? The initiative from galleries Bortolami Gallery, James Cohan Gallery, kaufmann repetto, Anton Kern Gallery, Andrew Kreps Gallery, and kurimanzutto aims to create a shared space for group exhibitions and cultural activities, with the inaugural exhibition to feature works by 80 artists. The way we see it, the joint venture signals a welcome shift towards collaboration and community-building within the art market. The initiative not only breathes new life into a neglected space but also fosters a sense of creative and professional synergy among participating galleries, their staffs, and artists. More of that, please. But, we can't pretend it's all sunshine and rainbows. Amid an art, design, and vacation home boom in the Hudson area, we're curious what steps the galleries might take to ensure the community benefits too, considering the "The Campus'" potential impact on the area's cultural and economic landscape. What do you think?
