The article reviews Yuji Agematsu's exhibition at the Judd Foundation in New York, where 366 of his "zips"—small assemblages of found objects collected during daily walks and arranged in cigarette cellophane sleeves—were displayed on open aluminum shelves in grids representing each day of 2024. The show ran through August 30, 2025, and marked a departure from previous presentations of Agematsu's work, which had been enclosed in acrylic cases; here, the zips were left exposed, with a fan causing plant matter to sway, making the work feel more alive and immediate.

Sophia Cohen, five months pregnant, interviews artist Loie Hollowell about navigating motherhood and artistic practice. Hollowell discusses how pregnancy, childbirth, and perimenopause have influenced her abstract geometric works exploring the female body. The conversation covers the physical and emotional transformations of pregnancy, the fear of loss, and how these experiences manifest—or don't—in her art. Hollowell's recent museum survey at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, “Loie Hollowell: Space Between, A Survey of Ten Years,” mapped the parallel evolution of her visual language and her body.

art arne glimcher pace 125 newbury interview

Arne Glimcher, the 87-year-old founder of Pace Gallery, opened a satellite gallery called 125 Newbury in Tribeca in 2021 after his son Marc, Pace's CEO, told him he would have to wait three years for a show slot. The gallery, named after Pace's original Boston address, operates under Pace's umbrella but focuses on experimental, scholarly exhibitions that often feature artists not represented by Pace. Glimcher recently mounted a Kiki Smith show pairing her 1990s paper mannequins with bronze birds, and he continues to take risks, such as funding a pond for Max Hooper Schneider's exhibition. Despite the gallery not being self-sustaining, Glimcher remains committed to supporting original art and connoisseurship.

Florence Bonnefous, co-founder of Air de Paris gallery, is profiled in a feature that traces the gallery's 35-year history from its founding in Nice with poet Edouard Merino to its current industrial space in Romainville, a northern Paris suburb. The gallery, named after Marcel Duchamp's readymade, launched with a legendary 1990 exhibition featuring Philippe Parreno, Pierre Joseph, and Philippe Perrin, and has since become known for championing underground conceptual and challenging art. Bonnefous is described as a preeminent gallerist-curator who prioritizes artistic integrity over profit, representing estates of avant-garde female artists like Sturtevant and Dorothy Iannone, and maintaining close bonds with artists such as Liam Gillick and Flint Jamison. The gallery is exhibiting at Art Basel Paris but recently withdrew from Art Basel in Basel over a booth placement dispute.

Art advisor Ralph DeLuca, in his column "Street Smarts" for Cultured, analyzes the struggling photography market. He notes that photography auction sales have plummeted from a peak of $230.5 million in 2014 to just $116.9 million in 2024, attributing the decline partly to smartphones making photography seem effortless. DeLuca, who owns over 20,000 photographs, argues this downturn presents a rare buying opportunity for collectors to build museum-quality collections at lower prices.

The shows mark a new joint representation model where the artist works with both a smaller, queer-focused gallery and a mega-gallery simultaneously. Wellmann's hallucinatory, collage-like paintings feature bodies, sex vignettes, and semi-mythic imagery, though she recently considered moving away from figuration due to frustrations with the "queer figuration" trend and its market co-optation.
