Beaux Arts Magazine reports on a resurgence of interest in American artist Nancy Graves (1939–1995), highlighted by a new exhibition at Ceysson & Bénétière. Graves, who worked across painting, sculpture, film, and stage design, was a rising star in the 1970s—exhibiting at MoMA and the National Gallery of Art, and becoming the youngest artist to have a solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art at age 29. The article traces her career from studying literature at Vassar and art at Yale, to her brief marriage to sculptor Richard Serra, and her pioneering use of NASA satellite imagery and natural history themes in works like her life-size camel sculptures.

L’artista multidisciplinare Francesco Impellizeri protagonista di un nuovo appuntamento de I Martedì Critici. Il video

Francesco Impellizeri, a multidisciplinary artist born in Trapani in 1958, is the subject of the third seasonal appointment of "I Martedì Critici," a series of meetings curated by Alberto Dambruoso and Loredana Rea. The article explores Impellizeri's career, which began in the mid-1980s and blends painting, music, photography, and performance into a distinctive, eccentric language. His work often uses paradox and sarcasm to critique contemporary stereotypes, as seen in performances like "Desfilè: mannequin per nient" and his series of "Pensierini"—childlike notebook pages that address political and social themes. His exhibitions span from the Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in Venice to the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid and the Museo del Barrio in New York.
