First UK Ken Price solo exhibition in nearly 10 years to open at Lisson.

Lisson Gallery, in collaboration with Matthew Marks Gallery, will present the first solo exhibition of Ken Price's work in the UK in nearly a decade. The show brings together sculptures and drawings, several shown in London for the first time, spanning the late American artist's five-decade career. Best known for expanding the possibilities of ceramics, Price created intimate yet monumental works that blend abstraction and figuration, with richly layered surfaces achieved through painstaking pigment and sanding processes. The exhibition includes iconic pieces such as 'Prone' (1997), 'Itself' (2003), 'Yin' (2009), and 'Amazon' (2003), alongside rarely seen works on paper that reveal his imaginative, dreamlike landscapes.

The Relentless Avant-Garde of The Renaissance Society

The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago, founded in 1915, has consistently championed avant-garde contemporary art from its modest gallery space on the fourth floor of Cobb Hall. Under the leadership of current director Myriam Ben Salah (since 2020), the institution continues its legacy of presenting visionary works by artists who later become household names, including Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, and Félix González-Torres. The article traces the society's history through its pioneering female directors—Eva Watson Schütze, Frances Strain Biesel, and Suzanne Ghez—who shaped its forward-thinking exhibition program, from early modernist shows to local Chicago talent and cross-disciplinary collaborations.

A derelict mansion called Parndon Hall, located within the grounds of Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, Essex, has been named to the Victorian Society’s annual list of the top ten at-risk buildings in England and Wales. The house, built in 1867, contains a hidden trove of wall paintings by the almost-forgotten Victorian artist Elizabeth Arkwright, who covered walls, ceilings, and doors with nymphs, mermaids, and cherubs—many still concealed under Edwardian whitewash.
