will this ultra rare painting by famed filipina painter anita magsaysay ho break records 2650460

León Gallery's Spectacular Mid Year Auction 2025 will feature a rare egg tempera painting by pioneering Filipina modernist Anita Magsaysay-Ho titled *Water Carriers / Taga-igib* (1947). The work is expected to draw strong market interest, following the artist's previous egg tempera sales at the same auction house—*Tinapa (Fish) Vendors* (1975) and *Fruit Market* (1957)—which fetched $1.52 million and $1.56 million respectively. Only about 20 works by Magsaysay-Ho exist in this delicate medium, making this lot exceptionally scarce. The sale also includes three works by Spanish Filipino artist Fernando Zóbel, whose market has recently surged after exhibitions at the Prado Museum, Ayala Museum, and National Gallery Singapore.

artissima art fair turin 2025 report 1234759650

Italy's largest contemporary art fair, Artissima, opened its 32nd edition in Turin's Oval Lingotto arena with 176 international galleries from 36 countries. The fair is the first major international art event in Italy since the government slashed VAT on art sales from 22% to 5% in July, a move long sought by galleries and dealers. Early sales included works by João Gabriel, Silvia Capuzzo, and Simon Pasieka, and the fair attracted top curators like Hans Ulrich Obrist and Massimiliano Gioni, as well as prominent Italian collecting families. However, some gallerists noted a lack of American collectors, echoing trends seen at Art Basel in Switzerland.

art market mugrabi nahmad kenny schachter 2669458

Kenny Schachter critiques the art market's doomsaying media narrative, coining the acronym Salsa (Scribes Always Love Sensational Apocalypse) to describe clickbait-driven hype. He contrasts current market anxieties with past downturns, notably the 1991-1996 recession when the market evaporated, citing a 1991 Roberta Smith article. Schachter observes that the Nahmads and Mugrabis, once feuding families, now invest together, and he recounts his experience at Phillips during his "Hoarder 6" exhibition, where young collectors showed genuine interest. He argues that the market, though wounded, remains healthy and calls for a less transactional, more patient approach to selling art.

Ovartaci at auction: The Art Brut master behind surreal figures and smoking phantoms

On September 23, Bruun Rasmussen will auction ten works by Ovartaci, the Danish Art Brut master born Louis Marcussen. Ovartaci, who lived at the psychiatric hospital in Risskov for 56 years, created surreal figures, abstract female forms, and distinctive 'smoking phantoms'—handcrafted cigarette holders turned into magical beings. His breakthrough came in 1979 with the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art's 'Outsider' exhibition, and he has since been shown at the Venice Biennale and the CoBrA Museum of Modern Art. The online auction is already open for bidding, with a preview in Aarhus.
