dana james ink moon hollis taggart

New York-based artist Dana James presents her third solo show with Hollis Taggart, titled “Ink Moon,” at the gallery’s Lower East Side location. The exhibition marks a significant shift in her practice, moving from her signature soft pastels and feminine sensibility toward bolder, more gestural works featuring near-black hues, intense primary colors, and expressive mark-making. James created the new body of work while navigating an advancing pregnancy, which she says pushed her work in a more intense direction rather than the expected softer style.

how to close your gallery

Claudia Altman-Siegel closed her San Francisco gallery, Altman Siegel, in November 2025 with a farewell party, handing out beers to friends, artists, and visitors. She aimed to provide closure and avoid the sudden, chaotic closures that have become common in the mid-tier art market, which often leave artists unpaid, works unreturned, and staff in limbo. Other dealers, including Tif Sigfrids and Rena Bransten, shared strategies for ethical closures, such as continuing to support artists through networks, paying them on time, and returning all works. Bransten's gallery, after 50 years, is shifting to a nomadic model rather than fully closing.

beijing china gallery weekend art season recap

Beijing concluded its inaugural "Beijing Art Season" from May 22 to June 1, comprising the long-running Gallery Weekend Beijing and two local art fairs, Beijing Dangdai and Art021 Beijing. The event took place shortly after a diplomatic breakthrough in U.S.–China tariff tensions, but amid China's economic slowdown, the atmosphere was subdued: the Visiting Sector for international galleries and the large-scale group show were scrapped, and satellite events were fewer. Despite this, collectors, curators, and institutional directors from Germany, the UK, Korea, and Japan attended, with some noting China's strategic importance due to its deep collector base. French billionaire Laurent Dassault reported better market sentiment in Beijing than in Europe, while Berlin galleries PSM and Galerie Thomas Schulte made their first appearances at Beijing Dangdai, collaborating with Hua International for a "Berlin Section." The fair grew from 32 galleries in 2018 to 87 this year, reflecting local collectors' appetite for international and experimental contemporary art.

derrick greaves patrick caulfield james hyman gallery

James Hyman Gallery is presenting a dual-artist online exhibition titled “Signature Pots: Patrick Caulfield | Derrick Greaves,” which runs through December 25, 2025. The show brings together works by two major British artists—Derrick Greaves (1927–2022) and Patrick Caulfield (1936–2005)—exploring their shared focus on still life, color, and form. Greaves, who represented Britain at the Venice Biennale in the 1950s and was associated with the Kitchen Sink painters, later developed a graphic style linked to Pop art. Caulfield emerged in the 1960s as part of the New Generation alongside David Hockney and Bridget Riley. The exhibition highlights how both artists transformed everyday objects into iconic images, with works such as Greaves's "Still Life with White Lillies" (2021) and Caulfield's "Untitled (signature pots)" (ca.1975) demonstrating their mastery of line, shape, and color.
