us supreme court strikes down trumps tariffs art market

The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down a series of sweeping tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, ruling in a 6-3 decision that the executive branch exceeded its authority. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, stated that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not grant the president the power to unilaterally impose tariffs of unlimited scope and duration. While tariffs on steel and aluminum remain, the ruling removes the 10 percent global blanket tariff and the 25 percent reciprocal tariffs previously levied against Canada, China, and Mexico.

Paris Internationale, the emerging art fair known for hosting independent galleries, announced it will launch a Milan edition in April 2026, just before its 11th edition opened in Paris. The fair, founded in 2015 by a group of independent galleries, plans to establish a lasting presence in Milan, with founder Nerina Ciaccia citing alignment with the fair's values and approach to the art market.

martine poppe taps a classic nordic fairytale for her magical landscapes

Norwegian artist Martine Poppe has opened a new solo exhibition titled "East of the Sun West of the Moon" at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery in London. The show draws on a classic Nordic fairytale as a conceptual starting point, blending memory, nature, and landscape painting. Poppe uses photographs taken over the past decade as source material, transforming them into atmospheric compositions that blur the line between reality and fiction. The exhibition explores themes of freedom, distance, and the mystical wildness of the natural world, inspired by both her childhood experiences and influences from Japanese woodblock prints and 19th- and 20th-century Western artists.

Korean artist Kim Yun Shin, who turns 90 in 2025, is currently the subject of a two-part solo exhibition spanning Lehmann Maupin's London and New York galleries. Titled after her series "Add Two Add One, Divide Two Divide One," which began in 1975, the shows opened in February 2025 at the gallery's temporary Cork Street space in London and continue at its New York location through May 31, 2025. The exhibitions draw on Eastern philosophy of Yin and Yang, exploring themes of union and division. This follows her debut at the 2024 Venice Biennale, where curator Adriano Pedrosa selected eight of her sculptures for the Central Pavilion under the theme "Foreigners Everywhere." In an interview, Kim discusses her nomadic life—from North Korea to South Korea, Paris, Argentina, and back—and how her experiences as a foreigner shaped her artistic perspective.

art market price increase 2025

The article examines the paradox of rising art prices despite a contracting market. The global art trade shrank by 12% in 2024, according to the Art Basel/UBS Art Market report, and financial volatility from trade wars has further depressed conditions. Yet dealers resist lowering prices, fearing that doing so would signal decreased value. Collectors like Jeff Magid argue that entry-level prices—often tens of thousands of dollars—are shutting out new buyers, and artists sometimes must leave their galleries to restart at lower price points. The upcoming Frieze New York fair will test whether this pricing strategy holds.

Aileen Murphy's third exhibition at Deborah Schamoni in Munich, titled "Sleeps on the Ceiling," presents five new paintings dominated by rosé and pink tones. The works revolve around a table-like motif, featuring animals, disembodied limbs, and surreal details such as a white cat with red eyes and a yellow snake. Murphy, who completed her studies in 2018, blends abstract gestures with detailed figuration, creating scenes that are both playful and uncanny. The exhibition's title is borrowed from Elizabeth Bishop's poem "Sleeping on the Ceiling" (1946), reflecting a dissolution of domestic interior, urban monument, and psychological landscape.
