Adam Pendleton discusses his work within the context of his exhibition “Who We Are” at Galerie Max Hetzler, Berlin. Pendleton’s first exhibition with the gallery includes the latest examples of his spray-painted and silkscreened canvases, works on Mylar, System of Display, and video portraits, as well as a monumental wall intervention. The new work, much of which incorporates language from the composer Julius Eastman, demonstrates Pendleton’s layered, archival approach to creation as he inquires into the relationship between representation and abstraction, history, and notions of “blackness”.

In this video, designer David Korins reveals how he chose to display “Treasures From Chatsworth,” a rare and intimate presentation of works from the Devonshire Collection. Free of charge and open to the public, the exhibition will be on view from June 28 to September 18, 2019, in Sotheby’s renovated New York galleries at 1334 York Avenue.

Howardena Pindell’s first solo exhibition in the UK includes abstract paintings and collages drawn from two distinct periods in the artist’s career: large-scale spray paintings from the early 1970s and smaller wall-mounted three-dimensional works completed since 2007.

In this video, Pindell responds to seeing her work installed at Victoria Miro’s Mayfair gallery. The exhibition continues through July 27, 2019.

The Devonshire Collection has been passed down through sixteen generations of the Cavendish Family and encompasses fine art, design, and jewelry from the past five centuries. Forty-five masterworks from the collection will be on view in “Treasures from Chatsworth” at Sotheby’s newly expanded and reimagined New York galleries, from June 29 to September 18. In this video, the 12th Duke of Devonshire previews the works coming to New York, from Rembrandt van Rijn to Lucian Freud.

Chris Levine works with light to create expanded states of perception and awareness. At his London studio, Levine explains how a childhood fascination with holography informed his future career, and traces how his personal struggles eventually led to his unusual approach to portraiture—including his portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in Lightness of Being, 2004.

Daniel Arsham takes a near-scientific approach to art in order to transform ordinary objects—cameras, cassette tapes, mobile phones—into archaeological discoveries from a future, dystopian world. In this studio visit, the artist tracks his development from early forays in photography and painting to a formative collaboration with Merce Cunningham, through to his work today and his vision of the world in 3019.

Jasper Sharp, curator of the Kunsthistorisches Museum’s current Mark Rothko retrospective, and Sotheby’s Contemporary Art specialist Saara Pritchard examine one of the most important periods of the artist’s career.

In the 1960s, Rothko abandoned the bright colors that characterize his work of the early 1950s in favor of deep reds and burgundies. Untitled, 1960, a highlight of Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Evening Auction on May 16, illuminates this profound shift. “Seen close up and in a penumbra, as these paintings are meant to be seen, they absorb, they envelop the viewer,” wrote Peter Selz, curator of the 1961 MoMA retrospective. “For they are mirrors of our fantasy and serve as echoes of our experience.”

Sold on behalf of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, this work will benefit the institution’s Acquisitions Fund. Mark Rothko is on view at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, through June 30.

Artist Jonas Wood reflects on his move to Los Angeles, the importance of the Hammer Museum, and his singular approach to creating art. Wood and his wife, artist and studio mate Shio Kusaka, have donated their works Shio Butterfly Still Life (2019) and (Line 65) (2017) as part of Artists for the Hammer Museum—a collection of pieces given by over forty leading contemporary artists to help establish a new Artist Fund at the Hammer Museum. This fund directly supports the museum’s pioneering exhibition program and work with emerging artists. The full collection of donated works will be offered across Sotheby's Evening and Day Auctions of Contemporary Art on May 16–17 in New York.

Lee Krasner’s resilient spirit and groundbreaking talent is captured in her large-scale masterpiece The Eye is the First Circle, offered as a highlight of Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Evening Auction (May 16th, New York). Contemporary art specialist Saara Pritchard joins Eleanor Naire, curator at the Barbican Art Gallery and organizer of the upcoming exhibition “Lee Krasner: Living Colour,” in an exploration of how The Eye is the First Circle exemplifies Krasner's iconic vision. Painted in 1960 following the death of her husband, Jackson Pollock, this immense canvas is the embodiment of Krasner’s “Umber” series, whose twenty-four gestural works form the pinnacle of her oeuvre.

Nancy Brooks Brody, Carrie Yamaoka, Zoe Leonard, and Joy Episalla—the four core members of the New York–based lesbian collective fierce pussy—talk about their art and activism on the occasion of Lauren O'Neill-Butler's feature on the group in the February 2019 issue of Artforum.
