https://www.sothebys.com/content/dam/sothebys-pages/blogs/In%20Other%20Words/2018/5/in-other-words-carroll-dunham-recirc.jpg Art is a “kind of lustful driving forwards” for Dunham, who has moved from abstraction to figuration over the course of his varied career. Works from his Wrestlers series are currently on show at Gladstone Gallery in New York (until 16 June). “I wanted to try to find a male equivalent to the women that I had been drawing and painting, which I had thought of as being rather primeval in some way,” Dunham says. “They are naked white guys beating the crap out of each other. I’m not claiming any special relevance or meaning for these things. They just allow me to keep making paintings.” Dunham talks to Schwartzman and host Charlotte Burns about how his life and work – and the broader art community – have changed since moving from the bustle of New York, where he spent his early career, to the solitude of rural Connecticut. Known for his incisive writing ab...

https://www.sothebys.com/content/dam/sothebys-pages/blogs/artfairinsider/2018/5/RonanBouroullec_featuredimage.jpg Alongside a myriad of thought-provoking pavilions at the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale , a notable lineup of art exhibitions will also debut.  RONAN BOUROULLEC, UNTITLED , COLLAGE (MASKING TAPE) AND FELT TIP PEN (2016). COPYRIGHT RONAN BOUROULLEC, PARIS. COURTESY OF GIORGIO MASTINU, VENICE. Ronan Bouroullec Display at Giorgio Mastinu Gallery Designer Ronan Bouroullec exhibits a rather enigmatic body of work through his untitled drawings and collages (2010-2017), along with Juillet , a new book of drawings. A seductive exploration of color, elemental forms, and space is rendered through humble means: color felt tip pen and pencil works are free-flowing on paper, and in some cases, collaged with masking tape. These abstract works were produced on a daily basis alongside ongoing projects and can be considered a “parallel” practice – essential research for intuit...

https://www.sothebys.com/content/dam/sothebys-pages/blogs/sothebys-at-large/2018/05/met-featured2.jpg     “The Pope Wears Prada” was the headline of a 2005 Newsweek article reviewing Benedict XVI’s chic sartorial choices: red Prada loafers and Gucci sunglasses styled with his papal garments. Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, cites that quote as the catalyst for his latest curation: Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination . Although brief, the article made Bolton realize there was much more to be deliberated, “namely the role that dress plays within the Catholic Church and the role the Catholic Church plays in fashion and the imagination.” The curator, who is also responsible for the hugely successful Costume Institute shows Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty and China: Through the Looking Glass , in 2011 and 2015 respectively, has now put on another astonishing exhibition that is ripe with elo...
