tony shafrazi independent art fair return

Tony Shafrazi, the legendary and controversial New York art dealer, is returning to the art fair circuit for the first time since 2012 with a booth at the Independent 20th Century fair in New York. He is presenting works by Armenian sculptor Zadik Zadikian, whose installation of gold bricks Shafrazi first exhibited in Tehran in 1978 before they were lost in the Iranian Revolution, alongside paintings by Brandon Deener. Shafrazi, now in his 80s, closed his New York gallery in 2011 and was banned from Art Basel in 2012 for breaking the fair's rules.

What It Takes to Build the Venice Biennale

Three weeks before the Venice Biennale opens on May 5, the city remains a construction site, with the Giardini closed and parts of the Arsenale requiring special access. Artist Faustin Linyekula rehearses his performance *The Galeazze Project* in a 16th-century roofless complex, working with the existing gravel, natural light, and lagoon acoustics rather than imposing a structure. Geopolitical conflicts, supply chain disruptions, and the sudden resignation of the Biennale’s international jury via Instagram add pressure to the already challenging logistics of mounting the global exhibition.

Local Artists Bring Interactive Art And Creativity To Southern Maryland

The Color & Light Society of Southern Maryland, a nonprofit organization of over 30 professional visual artists, is bringing interactive art and creative programming to communities across Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary's counties. Operating as a "Gallery Without Walls," the society participates in exhibitions, public events, and workshops rather than a traditional gallery space. Upcoming events include Uncorked & Unveiled: Island Edition on May 21, 2026, hosted by the St. Mary's County Arts Council at Port of Leonardtown Winery, where member Cindy Martin-Brennan's artwork will be featured on a wine label, and Raining Cats & Dogs — A Community Art Show on June 5, 2026, where pottery artist Barbara Hak and others created animal figures for attendees to paint.
