Over 100 contemporary artists, including Jeff Koons, Paul McCarthy, Julie Mehretu, Camille Henrot, Claire Tabouret, and Julien Creuzet, were invited to create copies of masterpieces from the Louvre's collection. Their works are now on view in the exhibition "Copyists" at the Centre Pompidou-Metz, a satellite of the Pompidou in northeastern France. The show features reinterpretations of iconic paintings such as Eugène Delacroix's *Liberty Leading the People* (1830), Giovanni Bellini's *Portrait of a Man* (ca. 1475–1500), and Théodore Géricault's *The Raft of Medusa* (1818–19), among others. Co-curators Donatien Grau and Chiara Parisi emphasize that the exhibition is about the act of copying itself, not just the resulting copies, and that it creates a dialogue between contemporary artists and historical masters.

louise fishman van doren waxter

Louise Fishman (1939–2021), a Queer Jewish abstract painter who deliberately distanced herself from the macho tradition of Abstract Expressionism, is the subject of a new exhibition at New York’s Van Doren Waxter. Titled “Louise Fishman: Always Stand Ajar,” the show features 10 late paintings from 2003 to 2013, all titled after verses by American poets Emily Dickinson and Wallace Stevens. The works, priced from $75,000 to $290,000, are part of an effort by Fishman’s widow, Ingrid Nyeboe, to cement the artist’s legacy as an unsung “Queer queen of abstraction.” The gallery began representing Fishman’s estate in 2024, and this is its first show dedicated to her.

Female artists and new buyers breathe life into the art market

The global art market contracted by 12% in 2024, falling to an estimated $57.5 billion in sales from its 2022 peak, according to the Art Basel and UBS Art Market Report 2025 compiled by Dr. Clare McAndrew. Despite the overall decline, the number of transactions grew by 3%, driven by a broadening collector base and increased engagement with more affordable works. The report highlights a surge in interest in female artists, with galleries raising their representation to 41%, and notes that art fairs remain the most common entry point for new buyers. The Aotearoa Art Fair, opening May 1-4 at Auckland's Viaduct Events Centre, exemplifies these trends with strong Indigenous and Pacific representation, emerging artist platforms like Horizons 2025, and affordable works under $5,000 from established galleries such as Gow Langsford Gallery.

The Picasso Museum Malaga (MPM) has opened a major exhibition titled "Memory and Desire," featuring 112 works from museums across Europe and the United States. The show centers on Picasso's 1925 painting "Studio with Plaster Head," on loan from MoMA in New York, and aims to rehabilitate the reputation of José Ruiz Blasco, Picasso's father and first art teacher. Curated by Eugenio Carmona, the exhibition challenges the long-held critical view that the father-son relationship was stormy, instead tracing the profound artistic influence José had on Picasso, from early academic works to surrealist masterpieces.

11 New Artist Auction Records Set in May 2025

During New York's spring auction week starting May 12, 2025, major houses Sotheby's, Christie's, Phillips, and Bonhams collectively brought in $1.27 billion, slightly above the estimated $1.25 billion but down 17% from the previous year. The top lot was Piet Mondrian's *Composition with Large Red Plane, Bluish Gray, Yellow, Black and Blue* (1922) at $47.56 million, but the mood was tense as trophy works like Andy Warhol's *Big Electric Chair* (1967–68) were withdrawn and several top lots, including Alberto Giacometti's *Grande tête mince* (1955), failed to sell. Amid this volatility, 11 new artist auction records were set, five of which were for women artists, notably Marlene Dumas's *Miss January* (1999) selling for $13.65 million—the most expensive work by a living woman artist at auction.
