david adjaye museums open without starchitect 1234755459

René Magritte's surrealist masterpiece *La Magie Noire*, unseen on the market for nearly a century, will be auctioned at Sotheby's Paris later this month with an estimate over $8 million. The painting was originally purchased by the family of WWII resistance heroine Suzanne Spaak, who supported Magritte during a financially difficult period. Separately, three major museums designed by star architect David Adjaye—the Princeton University Art Museum, the Museum of West African Art in Benin City, and the Studio Museum in Harlem—are set to open this fall, but institutions are downplaying Adjaye's involvement following sexual misconduct allegations he denied in 2023. Other news includes Pace Gallery closing its Hong Kong space, Colnaghi opening in Riyadh, and the death of ARTnews owner Milton Esterow.

alejandro pineiro bello neuendorf residency 2634572

Cuban-born, Miami-based artist Alejandro Piñeiro Bello arrived at the Neuendorf Residency in Mallorca with plans to use art supplies shipped from mainland Spain, but they never arrived. Undeterred, he worked with only watercolors and paper he had packed, drawing inspiration from the surrounding cliffs, sea, and plant life. The residency, housed in a minimalist building designed by John Pawson and Claudio Silvestrin and commissioned by Artnet founder Hans Neuendorf, offered him solitude to create memory-based paintings of swimmers and landscapes.

At Baltimore Museum of Art, a new exhibition asks us to consider the connections between race, colonialism and the climate crisis

The Baltimore Museum of Art has opened "Black Earth Rising," an exhibition organized by British curator and writer Ekow Eshun. The show brings together thirteen African diasporic, Latin American, and Indigenous artists—including Frank Bowling, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Yinka Shonibare, Wangechi Mutu, Alejandro Piñeiro Bello, Firelei Baez, and Tyler Mitchell—to explore the connections between race, colonialism, and the climate crisis. Eshun also authored an accompanying book that pivots environmental debates away from a Eurocentric viewpoint, emphasizing that the Global South bears the brunt of climate change despite being least responsible for it. The exhibition critiques the term "Anthropocene" and instead promotes the concept of the "Plantationocene," which traces environmental destruction back to 15th-century European colonization and the plantation system.

real estate investor carl gambino young collectors

Real estate investor Carl Gambino, who splits his time between New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, discusses his art collection and approach to collecting in an interview with Cultured. Gambino, who once considered flipping art but resolved to buy for keeps, shares his early mistake of buying under social pressure at a dinner in France, a decision that left him feeling sick. He credits Kim Hastreiter of Paper magazine and Marsea Goldberg of New Image Art for teaching him to buy only what he loves. His collection features emerging painters such as Alejandro Piñeiro Bello, Cynthia Talmadge, Tianyue Zhong, and Dennis Miranda Zamorano, and he supports exhibitions including a showing of LaKela Brown at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit.
