Luc Tuymans and Yohji Yamamoto, two towering figures in visual art and fashion, sat for a rare conversation in Paris moderated by critic Donatien Grau.

Enter the unsettled space of Asian American abstraction

The Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation in New York is hosting the exhibition "How Asian Is It?", featuring 12 pioneering East Asian American abstractionists born between 1928 and 1955. Curated by Lilly Wei, the show includes works by Barbara Takenaga, Emily Cheng, Charles Yuen, and David Diao, among others. These artists navigated an art world where downplaying their Asian identities often felt necessary for survival, especially after the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act reshaped US immigration policy. The exhibition explores how their abstraction—marked by attention to interval, pause, and what remains unsaid—reflects a disciplined negotiation with space rather than a shared style or manifesto.

josh baer collectors emerging artists prices first works 1234752518

Art adviser and Baer Faxt founder Josh Baer has proposed specific price limits for works by "ultra-emerging" artists—those fresh out of school, such as an MFA graduate from Yale. In his No Reserve newsletter, Baer advises collectors to pay no more than $15,000 for a large work and $5,000 for a small piece at a first solo show in a reputable gallery. The advice comes amid ongoing debate about inflated prices for young artists, following a column by Artnet News editor-in-chief Naomi Rea that questioned the market's pricing logic. LA gallerist Charlie James endorsed Baer's thresholds, though some collectors argue that pricing cannot be so neatly codified.

A newly translated English edition of Gilles Deleuze's 1981 seminars on painting, originally published in French as 'Sur la peinture' in 2023, has been released by the University of Minnesota Press. Translated by Charles J. Stivale, the eight lectures explore what concepts painting can offer to philosophy, rather than the reverse. Deleuze discusses terms like catastrophe, the diagram, and figure, focusing on artists such as Titian, Turner, Cézanne, van Gogh, Klee, Mondrian, Pollock, and Bacon, offering a chaotic yet magnificent counterpoint to his more systematic book 'Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation'.
