venus over manhattan closing adam lindemann 2665314

Adam Lindemann announces the closure of Venus Over Manhattan, the gallery he founded in 2012 after a career as a contemporary art collector and writer. The gallery opened with a show titled "À Rebours," inspired by a novel about a decadent aristocrat, and featured works by Warhol, Hammons, and others—a show that famously saw a Dalí stolen from the wall. Over its 14-year run, Venus Over Manhattan mounted exhibitions including a Maurizio Cattelan show during a market lull, a Calder installation with spotlights and fans, and a show mixing African masterpieces with works by Koons, Prince, and Hirst. Lindemann reflects on the challenges of opening a gallery against advice, the theft that made international news, and the quiet validation he received from artists like David Hammons.

gladstone gallery celia paul art basel paris 1234757919

Gladstone Gallery now represents British painter Celia Paul, known for her moody figurative works drawn from her life. Paintings by Paul are on view at Art Basel Paris this week, and the gallery plans a solo New York exhibition in 2026. Paul has long been represented by Victoria Miro in London but lacked a New York gallery presence since a 2015 show at Gallery Met. Her market has grown following a 2018 exhibition at the Yale Center for British Art and a recent profile in The New Yorker by Karl Ove Knausgaard. Her auction record was set in 2023 when Self-Portrait (2017) sold for $122,700 at Christie’s London.

di rosa art center estate sale 1234770699

The di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art in Napa, California, has listed its 217-acre estate for $10.9 million amid ongoing financial struggles. The property, which houses a significant collection of postwar Northern California art including works by Mark di Suvero, Peter Saul, and Jay DeFeo, was founded by collector Rene di Rosa and his wife Veronica. The center has been seeking financial stability since 2019, when it briefly attempted to sell its holdings before reversing course after local backlash. Director Kate Eilertsen hopes a wealthy philanthropist will purchase the estate and lease it back to the center, or that Napa County may acquire the land for public use while preserving the sculptures.
