Dib Bangkok, Thailand's first international-standard contemporary art museum, opened on December 20 with a festive and dramatic inauguration in Bangkok. Founded by the late industrialist and art collector Petch Osathanugrah and completed by his son Purat "Chang" Osathanugrah, the museum debuted with the exhibition "(In)Visible Presence," curated by Ariana Chaivaranon and Dr. Miwako Tezuka, featuring 81 works by 40 artists from the museum's collection.

Former Sotheby's chairman recounts the birth of the London art market as we know it

James Stourton, former chairman of Sotheby's UK, has written a book titled "Rogues and Scholars" that chronicles the rise of London's art market after World War II. The article highlights key moments such as Sotheby's 1958 sale of the Goldschmidt collection of Impressionist art, which transformed auctions into glamorous evening events, and the introduction of the buyer's premium in 1975, which Stourton calls "the Big Bang of the art world." It also profiles influential dealers and galleries like Marlborough Gallery, Robert Fraser, Christopher Gibbs, and Robin Symes who shaped global tastes from London.

Artist Werner Sun, a particle physicist by training, presents a new exhibition at the Schweinfurth Art Center and Cayuga Museum of History & Art in Auburn, N.Y., running through May 17, 2025. The show merges digital photography and paper folding techniques into sculptural wall and ceiling works, drawing on Sun's background in science and mathematics.

The exhibition includes series such as 'Double Vision,' 'Big Bang,' and 'Rose Window,' with the latter two hosted at the Cayuga Museum.
