The first one stopped me in my tracks 🫷

Workshop of Torcuato Ruiz del Peral Exfiliana, Granada, 1708 - Granada, 1773. At

Saint Michael Defeating the Demon between 1740-1770
Carved and polychromed wood with applied lace and silver accessories
94.7 × 42 cm
Pirvate collection, Madrid

Torcuato Ruiz del Peral, trained in Diego de Mora’s workshop, was Granada’s leading eighteenth-century sculptor. Saint Michael subdues a greenish demon, re-fleeting the Baroque principle of kalokagathia, where beauty signifies virtue and ugliness denotes evil. The angel’s elaborate skirt and rich polychromy showcase contemporary fashion and Peral’s decorative skill.
Silver elements—including the chain, rays, and ro-caille-style helmet—along with picado de lustre on the cuirass, enhance the play of light and gold. Similar motifs appear in his other works, such as Saints Justus and Pastor in Granada, highlighting his mastery of polychrome Baroque sculpture.

And there is so much more beauty + bliss 🩵

“I’m not so interested in the expression of something. I’m more interested in what the material can do. So that’s why I keep exploring,” said artist, educator, and civic leader Ruth Asawa, reflecting on a six-decade-long career.

Truly grateful to have caught Ruth Asawa: A Retrospective in time - the perspective on her best known work shifted from a feeling of craft towards a full understanding of her genuinely curious and dedicated explorations of materials and forms - in a variety of mediums, including wire sculpture, bronze casts, drawings, paintings, prints, and public works.

This first posthumous survey perfectly brought across the ways in which Asawa continuously transformed materials and objects into subjects of contemplation, unsettling distinctions between abstraction and figuration, figure and ground, and negative and positive space.

< Asawa made art every day, pursuing the inexhaustible possibilities offered by simple materials such as paper and wire since her days at Black Mountain College, where she studied in the late 1940s. Following a move to San Francisco in 1949, her practice grew exponentially as she produced a body of work ranging from endless variations of abstract looped-wire sculptures to calligraphic ink paintings.

Community was crucial to Asawa, who realized numerous public commissions—fountains, murals, and memorials—from the late 1960s onward, and stood at the forefront of arts education in the Bay Area and beyond. Taking a cue from her own work, Ruth Asawa: A Retrospective offers numerous points of entry into her art, encouraging close looking. It also reveals the model of integrated art practice cultivated by Asawa, for whom all acts held a creative potential and for whom there was no separation between living and making art. >

Strike a pose - Michelangelo -

Yes - fantastic drawings
Plus - brilliant loans worth seeing
And - not sure if the muscles are a bit exaggerated here and there
Also - thinking of Courbet’s quote in reverse: everybody is of her/his/its own time.

Could have spent hours looking at these brilliant lines, which seem to know precisely where they are going.

📌 Michelangelo and Men - A new perspective on the male body in the work and life of Michelangelo

Five hundred and fifty years after his birth, Teylers Museum is paying homage to one of the most celebrated artists in history. Until and including 25 January 2026, ‘Michelangelo and Men’ is on display at the Teylers Museum: an exhibition about the fascination of Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) with the male body. An international first: never before has an exhibition been entirely dedicated to this theme. More than twenty drawings from the collection of Teylers Museum are supplemented with top-class international loans, including the marble sculpture ‘Apollo-David’. All these works combined shed new light on the glorious leading role the male body played in both the life and art of Michelangelo.

It’s time to update you on our whereabouts... this was ART COLOGNE 2025... with great winter vibes at , horsepower at .Gallery, quite ingenious nostalgia from endless Fuchs du hast die Ganz gestohlen at x , as well as Germanic melancholy by at —I would say “what’s in a first name.”

And yes, too many more highlights to mention - you’ll have to check them out at ☺️

While all eyes are on … yes, Paris - even including old master paintings - I’m still dreaming of all these past weeks offered and me was lucky enough to enjoy.

Close by - the Centraal Museum Utrecht has this [Valkenburg — Willem de Rooij] exhibition on - which seems a great pretence to show some stunning paintings that are -though often gruesome- brilliant showstoppers when it comes to rendering silk, lace, feathers, fur, hair, anything you love about fashion and animals - or elite life back then?

« Valkenburg (1675-1721) was one of the first Europeans to depict Indigenous and enslaved people on Surinamese plantations, while also painting hunting still lifes and portraits of Dutch elites. The breadth of his oeuvre makes it particularly relevant for research into colonial image production and the “white gaze”. In this installation, De Rooij displays 30 works in idiosyncratic combinations, inviting reflection on how these 18th-century Dutch elites used art to support and legitimise colonial ideology. »

Hm, still loved to see each and every work of art.

📍 On display until 25/1/26

Kristi Cavataro - solo show at in Cologne 💥

Glass sculptures that echo containment, windows, partitions, ornaments. Yet here they buckle, swell, strain against their joints. Some are made of
transparent, colored glass that allows light to pass through; others are constructed from opaque glass that
withholds any view of the interior. Her works neither depict images nor objects in the usual sense; rather these are forms that resist figuration while remaining charged with life.

📍 ST APERN STR 26 - until 29 October 2025

THINGS I’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE -

- the@ StedelijkMuseum presents a selection of works from the collection of gallerist and collector Fons Welters which he donated to the museum in 2022, most of which are by artists already represented in the museum’s collection.

Welters, an arable farmer from South Limburg who became a gallerist at the age of 42, is a central figure in the Amsterdam art scene. In 1985, he opened his gallery in the Jordaan. His work as a gallerist went hand in hand with his enthusiasm for collecting art: “I always look for things l’ve never seen before,” Welters said in a recent interview.

It is this profound openness that has guided his path as a collector and gallerist. He discovered most of the artists he would go on to collect and work with early in their careers - often while they were still studying at art academies. One such example is the installation How to Act by Gabriel Lester, which Welters acquired from the artist after a studio presentation at the in 1999.

In this way, Welters’ collection is also a reflection of Amsterdam’s unique art ecosystem, on which he has had such an important influence. That these works now find a permanent home at the Stedelijk Museum is a testament to both Welters’ lasting connection to the city of Amsterdam and the significance of his contribution to its cultural landscape.

The donation is also being made public at a significant moment: the will close its doors this summer after forty years.

📌 on view until 19 october 2025.

Rhea Dillon - Winner of 2025 Prize

📍 at

Rhea Dillons sculptural work shows how she interweaves and roots her work in her Caribbean and British identity. In her piece Leaning Figures, a group of wall-mounted sculptures, she grapples with ethnographic forms of presentation and the question of the origin of Sapele-Mahagony of the African continent and its use in building ships for slavery. How deep the colonial scars run and how difficult it is to detach from them is evident in the sticky molasses to which the seemingly precious crystal plates are stuck to.

In addition to the cash prize, Baloise acquires a group of works by the award winners and donates them to two important European museums. The works of Rhea Dillon were presented to the collection of the MMK, Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt.

Gallery: Soft Opening, London, UK

This year’s jury includes: Karola Kraus, General Director MUMOK Vienna, Chair of the Jury; Bettina Steinbrügge, Director MUDAM, Luxembourg; Susanne Pfeffer, Director MMK, Frankfurt; Susanne Titz, Director Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach and Uli Sigg, Swiss Collector and patron of the arts.
