Over the past three decades, the Winter Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair has earned a reputation for being one of the foremost antiques events in the UK for members of the design trade, as well as private collectors, looking for distinctive and individual items. A fantastical foyer display of a 21st-century interpretation of Gothic design will greet visitors as they walk into the venue, with details like carved furniture, pointed arches, and trefoil, quatrefoil, and fleur-de-lys motifs, elements that have endured in popularity throughout the centuries. 150 exhibitors will bring a range of period design, with furniture, lighting, accessories, and other collectors’ items dating from the 17th century to the 1970s. Many of these dealers are members of LAPADA, The Association of Art & Antiques Dealers. Unusual painted and decorated antiques are one of the fair’s trademarks. In addition to the Winter Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair, the venue’s Mezzanine level will hold the London Antique Rug & Textile Art Fair, a niche event of twenty specialist dealers in carpets, tapestries, textiles, tribal weavings, and other works of art. These two independent yet complementary fairs will run concurrently through January 29. The Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair has two other editions: the Spring Fair in April, and the Autumn Fair in October. Admission to the Winter Fair is £10.00 at the door, but you can register online to join the mailing list and receive free tickets to all future Decorative Fairs.

Art Revolutionaries
On view through February 10, 2017
Mayoral, 6 Duke Street, St James’s, London
For more information call +44 020 8133 4306 or visit www.galeriamayoral.com
Art Revolutionaries, a recently-opened tribute exhibition presented by Mayoral in London, commemorates 80 years since the inauguration of the Spanish Pavilion at the 1937 Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne. The exhibition features paintings and sculptural works by modernist masters, including Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Alexander Calder and Julio González, as well as rare propaganda posters from the pavilion, original furniture, and other archival material such as letters, press coverage, and footage. The Spanish Pavilion was used by the Spanish Republic as a global platform to demonstrate the atrocities occurring in Spain during the Spanish Civil War, which took place between 1936 and 1939. The Spanish government used the Paris Exposition as an opportunity to reveal the cruelty of Francisco Franco’s nationalist regime, and commissioned key artists in Spain at the time to create works of art, which became some of the most consequential masterpieces of their careers. Picasso’s Guernica and Miró’s El Segador (The Reaper) were among these commissioned works. Although the original pavilion has since been dismantled, a replica was built in 1992 at The Pavelló de la República CRAI Library in Barcelona. Mayoral specializes in postwar and Modern art with a focus on artists who are connected to Barcelona.

Jimmie Durham: At the Center of the World
January 29 – May 7, 2017
Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, Calif.
For more information call 310.443.7000 or visit hammer.ucla.edu
The first North American retrospective of Jimmie Durham, an important American artist, this exhibition at the Hammer Museum will feature almost 200 sculpture, drawing, collage, printmaking, photography and video works dating from the beginning of his career in 1970 to the present. Jimmie Durham, a Native American of Cherokee descent, is more than an artist; he is also a performer, poet, essayist and activist. Having been educated all around the world in places like Cuernavaca, Mexico, and Geneva, Switzerland, his work represents subject matter as diverse as specific historical events, martyrdom, quantum physics, and literature. Durham’s work reveals his distinctive wit, exploration of unconventional materials, interest in language, and his core belief that artists should be citizens of the world. This chronologically organized retrospective is one of the first exhibitions in the newly renovated galleries at the Hammer, a museum affiliated with UCLA that Incollect recently featured as one of the top 10 university art museums in the U.S.

Katharina Grosse On view through March 11, 2017 Gagosian Gallery 555 West 24th Street, New York, N.Y. For more information call 212.741.1111 or visit www.gagosian.com
Works by Berlin-based painter and sculptor Katharina Grosse are being showcased in the first gallery exhibition in New York at Gagosian Gallery, following a series of significant public commissions in the U.S. Her stylistic signature, Grosse utilizes a spray gun to create art that is distinct but entirely unplanned. She is also known for her temporary and permanent in situ work, through which she paints directly onto architecture, interiors, and landscapes. Exhibited at the Gagosian are several selected works from interconnected suites of paintings—all untitled—she has created over the last year. Vibrant colors bleed into one another, revealing layers upon layers of different hues and zones of color. |
Marilyn Minter: Pretty/Dirty On view through April 2, 2017 Brooklyn Museum 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, N.Y. For more information call 718.638.5000 or visit www.brooklynmuseum.org
Contemporary artist Marilyn Minter’s photographs, paintings, and videos are an exploration of the contradictory emotions surrounding beauty and the feminine body in American culture. Marilyn Minter: Pretty/Dirty is the first retrospective exhibition of the artist’s work, and begins with her earliest creations in the late 1960s—photographs and paintings that incorporated photorealist and Pop art styles. Her artistic explorations continue to investigate the ways in which the beauty industry manipulates desire through images. This exhibition is part of a special series of ten exhibitions celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art. The series is called A Year of Yes: Reimagining Feminism at the Brooklyn Museum. The Brooklyn Museum is one of our favorite design-centric destinations in New York City. |
