suzanne duchamp kunsthaus zurich

A small Berlin auction house sold a 1930 gouache by Suzanne Duchamp for just €1,500 in 2024, and a Chicago-area firm moved a 1940 painting for only $1,000 in 2004—prices far below those of unknown emerging artists today. These works are now featured in the first-ever retrospective devoted to Duchamp at the Kunsthaus Zurich, highlighting her long neglect in favor of her more famous siblings Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, and Jacques Villon. The exhibition traces her career from Cubist beginnings through superb Dadaist creations like "Arietta of Oblivion of the Dazed Chapel" (1920) to later, more decorative works that have divided critics.

Rosalind Fox Solomon, a photographer known for her piercing black-and-white images of alienation, racism, and marginalization, died in New York at age 95. Her representative, Stephen Bulger Gallery, confirmed her passing. Over nearly six decades, she documented marginalized individuals—from Black Americans in the South to people with AIDS in New York to Palestinians in the West Bank—using a Hasselblad camera. Her work was marked by an empathetic yet distant approach, capturing the inner and outer realities of her subjects without close connection.

abstract artist rosemarie beck van doren waxter

Rosemarie Beck, a once-promising abstract painter celebrated in the 1940s and 1950s by the Whitney Museum and mentored by Robert Motherwell, abandoned abstraction in 1958 to pursue figuration. Despite early success and shows at prestigious venues like the Stable Gallery, her shift to mythological and literary themes caused her to fade from art historical memory. A new exhibition, "Rosemarie Beck: Earthly Paradise," at Van Doren Waxter in New York, showcases over 25 figurative works from 1959 to 2000, marking a major reappraisal of her career.
