Considered by many to be the height of Miró's achievement as an artist, these works gain power and impact from being shown all together. Indeed, the condition for many of the loans was that the entire series had to be on view.
The suite of images was produced between January of 1940 and September of 1941—but it was not until 1958 that André Breton named them “Constellations." When Miró and his family fled France for Spain ahead of...2017-05-0236 min
Artelligence PodcastAdam Lindemann on Bernard Buffet: Paintings from 1956-99Adam Lindemann discusses hisVenus Over Manhattan gallery's presentation of a survey of Bernard Buffet's paintings:
The exhibition, organized in collaboration with the Estate of Bernard Buffet, marks the first major solo presentation of Buffet’s work in New York in nearly three decades.
While Bernard Buffet (b. 1928, Paris, France; d. 1999, Tourtour, France) was once hailed as the next Picasso in France and internationally, the artist’s work has weathered dizzying cycles of acclaim and rejection. Immensely popular – and always commercially successful – at numerous points in his career, Buffet suffered long spells of vicious critical repudiation, when his work was considered the ulti...2017-04-0733 min

Artelligence PodcastDavid Norman on London's Impressionist & Modern Sales, March 2017David Norman looks at the results of the March 2017 auctions of Impressionist and Modern art at Sotheby's and Christie's. The surprisingly strong sales came in the context of a nervous art market wondering what the future might hold.
In part because of that uncertainty, few of the works on offer were considered the kinds of trophies that would motivate bidders to aggressively pursue these works. Nonetheless, they did. Buyers, especially from Asia, were out in force.
Although, as Norman points out, the bidding was tactical and sober. Buyers are keen on acquiring works of art but not at any price.

In the early 1980s, the geometric forms of the paintings’ interior compositions—in this case, Xs and +s—began to dictate the shapes of the canvases themselves.
