Could 17th-century Italy provide a useful model for today’s challenging art market?

An exhibition at Nicholas Hall Gallery in New York, titled "Beyond the Fringe," explores the understudied early art market of 17th-century Italy, featuring 30 works on loan from public and private collections. The show highlights how barbers, tailors, innkeepers, and other tradespeople became part-time art dealers, while a decentralized network of collectors and middlemen emerged alongside foreign artists in Rome, such as the Bentvueghels, who produced new genres like landscape and genre scenes. The exhibition and its catalogue, with new research by art historians Patrizia Cavazzini and Caterina Volpi, trace the rise of art as an alternative asset class independent of traditional aristocratic and ecclesiastical patronage.

Women’s Work: The art of Dana Boussard (museum exhibition)

In 1973, three pioneering women artists—Lela Autio, Dana Boussard, and Nancy Erickson—proposed an exhibition of their soft sculpture at the University of Montana in Missoula, but were denied because their work was dismissed as "women's work." Undeterred, they staged the show in the empty Carnegie Library building in 1974, and a year later the Missoula Art Museum (MAM) was founded. Now, MAM's special exhibition "Women's Work" celebrates the museum's 50th anniversary by featuring works from these three artists, including three pieces by Dana Boussard: "The Rialto" (1971), "Sister" (1970), and "Another Time, Another Place" (1970). The exhibition honors the radical spirit of the original 1974 show and the fiber-art movement, which gained momentum alongside the women's movement and feminist art.

Dozens of Venice Biennale Artists Withdraw From Awards En Masse

Almost half of the artists in the 61st Venice Biennale's international exhibition, along with 16 national pavilion teams, have withdrawn from awards consideration in solidarity with the jury's resignation. The jury resigned on April 30 after stating it would not consider countries whose leaders are charged with crimes against humanity by the ICC, effectively disqualifying Israel and Russia. The Biennale Foundation then replaced the traditional Golden Lions with new "Visitor Lions" decided by public vote, reinstating all pavilions including Israel and Russia. The withdrawal follows protests at the Russian and Israeli pavilions and a historic labor strike that shuttered multiple pavilions.
