NORMAN, OK.- A new exhibition of works by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso goes on display Friday, Aug. 3, at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.

Woman in the Studio, a 1956 painting, will be displayed along with eight other Picasso works from the FJJMA’s permanent collection. “The exhibition uses Woman in the Studio as a centerpiece of a small survey of Picasso works from the 1930s into the 1960s,” said Mark White, FJJMA chief curator. “The painting dates from the mature period of Picasso’s career when he was concerned with issues of the studio and problems with painting.” Picasso (1881-1973) is considered one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century and is credited with co-founding the Cubist movement. ...

Giovanni Antonio Canal, il Canaletto (Venice 1697-1768), London: New Horse Guards from St James’s Park (detail), oil on panel, 58.5 x 110 cm, €2,000,000 – 3,000,000.
VIENNA.- New Horse Guards from St James’s Park by Canaletto, a rare view of the London landmark under construction in 1753, will be sold by one of Europe’s largest auction houses, Dorotheum in Vienna, in a sale of Old Master Paintings on Wednesday 17 October 2012 when it is estimated to fetch €2-3 million.

The painting is an important historical record documenting 18th century London and, arguably, the most English of the paintings Canaletto executed during his time in England from 1746 to 1755. He had many English patrons including the Duke of Richmond and on his arrival his reputation was already widespread fr ... More |

| Exhibition of the work of Dieter Roth opens at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh | | Brazilian artists create colossal labyrinth using 250,000 books at Southbank Centre | | Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller's The Murder of Crows opens at the Park Avenue Armory | 
Dieter Roth, Diaries, 1965-1998. Hardcover leatherbound diary with drawings, coloured sketches, collages (cover), 17.5 x 11 x 3 cm / 6 7/8 x 4 3/8 x 1 1/8 inches. © Dieter Roth Estate. Courtesy Hauser & Wirth.
EDINBURGH.- The Fruitmarket Gallery presents this exhibition of the work of Dieter Roth (1930 – 1998), one of late twentieth century art’s major figures. Roth was an artist of astonishing breadth and diversity, producing books, graphics, drawings, paintings, sculptures, assemblages and installation works involving sounds recordings and video. He was also a composer, musician, poet and writer. Art and life for Roth flowed readily into each other, and much of the material for his artistic output came from his everyday life. This exhibition is the first to focus on the theme of the diary in Roth’s work. Roth kept a diary throughout his life, and saw all art-making as a form of diary keeping. His diaries were a space to record appointments, addresses, lists and deadlines but also ideas, drawings, photographs and poems. They teem with graphic exuberance, and proved a rich source for his ... More | |

LONDON.- A vast labyrinth of 250,000 books, entitled aMAZEme, has been installed on The Clore Ballroom in the Royal Festival Hall between 31 July – 25 August, as part of Southbank Centre’s Festival of the World with MasterCard.

NEW YORK, NY.- From August 3 through September 9, 2012, artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller animate Park Avenue Armory?s cavernous drill hall with their largest installation to date, a dream-like soundscape that envelops audiences in a poetic and visceral sonic experience. In its U.S. premiere, The Murder of Crows continues Cardiff & Bures Miller?s exploration of physical and sculptural attributes of sound, transforming the Armory?s 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall into an immersive environment where sound alone creates vivid imagery and narrative structure. The three-part, 30-minute composition weaves together a fluttering of voices, music, and sounds to construct a captivating and confounding melodrama that investigates concepts of love, loss, and vulnerability. Ninety-eight speakers mounted on stands, chairs, and walls throughout the drill hall give voice to the various scenes and characters in th ... More |

Pair Elvaston Castle Pier Glasses George II attrib to Benjamin Goodison orig oval plates at Ronald Phillips.
LONDON.- Ronald Phillips Ltd. is coming to New York’s International Fine Art & Antique Dealers Show October 19 - 25 with what Director Simon Phillips says are, “Probably the best pieces we’ve ever had. I think that people come here because they know what they want and what we are offering. In this business it takes years to make a reputation and name, which we certainly have. While our antiques can become valuable investments, I always tell people not to buy for investment but because they love the piece; if something this beautiful happens to go up in value, it's an added bonus.” Citing several recent acquisitions as examples, Simon Phillips mentions a pair of exceptional George II Pier Glasses from Elvaston Castle. “These elegant mirrors are attributed to Benjamin Goodison and retain their original oval mirror plates. Their provenance includes the home of the Earl of Harrington as ... More | |

Igael Turmarkin, Homage to Soutine 1968-9. Bronze and iron.
TEL AVIV.- In the late 1960s, Igael Tumarkin developed an assemblage technique that combines organic and geometric forms. Some of the works created during this period were clearly autobiographical, while others constituted "tributes" to well-known artists, and were accordingly titled "homages." In one preparatory sketch from 1969, the artist drew a set of three memorials designed as geometric frames. Each of the memorials bears an individual serial number and title, and each is a tribute to a different artist: the first is a tribute to Rembrandt, the second a tribute to Chaim Soutine, and the third a tribute to Francis Bacon. The general subject of this sketch, which is inscribed on it in Hebrew, translates as: "The Butchers' Dialogue." The title "The Butchers' Dialogue," which alludes, with a certain degree of humor, to painters who used the motif of slaughtered animals in their work, makes reference to a vital artistic tradition centered on this subject. The consecutive series ... More |
