As the proceedings of Art Week Miami marches on, and the Miami Beach Convention Center remains packed with art lovers, artists and gallerists, NADA Miami has also opened its doors for its 20th Edition in the Floridian metropolis, returning to its haunt at the Ice Palace Film Studios, and continuing its mission showcasing new art and to celebrating the rising talents from around the globe, exploring new or underexposed art that is not typical of the “art establishment,” by their words. NADA Miami is also the one of the only major American art fairs to be produced by a non-profit organization, and is recognized as a much needed alternative assembly of the world’s youngest and strongest art galleries dealing with emerging contemporary art.

Anselm Kiefer, des Malers Atelier (The Painter’s Studio) (2021), via Gagosian

Marking a new entry in an enduringly challenging and iconic body of work, Anselm Kiefer has opening a show of works at Gagosian in New York, continuing his work in monumental canvases that blend commanding landscapes and structures with a wide range of other materials including terra-cotta, fabric, rope, wire, found objects, sediment of electrolysis, and metal—including copper and gold leaf. Mixing the abject and the exalted, these works are imbued with gesture, a sense of metamorphosis, and alchemical symbolism. Read More »

Jonathan Monk, This Painting (Schnabel) (2022), via Casey Kaplan

Continuing a particular and often challenging brand of conceptualism in the act of painting, artist Jonathan Monk opens a new show at Casey Kaplan this month, brought forth under the title These Paintings Should.  Exhibiting a striking brand of wistful thinking, the exhibition is comprised of a collection of twelve acrylic-based paintings, each emblazoned with screen-printed text that differs from one to the next, always beginning with the phrase “This painting should ideally be hung…”. As such, each sets up an imagined reality by dictating a supposed “ideal” placement on the wall, offering an unexpected conversation with iconic artists—from Isa Genzken to Claude Monet and back.  Read More »

Issy Wood, My Consequences (2022), via Michael Werner

Painter Issy Wood mines a complex visual lexicon throughout her work, walking a fine line between pop observations and meticulous studies of form and space that make her canvases instantly compelling and intricate in their gathered meanings and constructions. The artist’s work continues in this vein this month at Michael Werner Gallery in New York, where the American-born, British artist presents a body of new paintings. Read More »
