The season begins in South Korea, where fairs, biennials and exhibitions draw the international art community to Seoul and Gwangju, before attention shifts to major museum openings in New York and Los Angeles. By October, London and Paris take over, followed by a November of landmark exhibitions, photography and new cultural institutions.

If you’re looking to escape the city heat and cool off in the Hudson Valley this Summer, Magazzino Italian Art should be on your list.

Home to what is likely the largest presentation of Arte Povera outside of Italy, Magazzino Italian Art is more than just a museum.

The main building opened in 2017, originally a computer chip factory and renovated by architect Miguel Quismondo, with the addition of the Robert Olnick Pavilion being completed in 2023.

On top of their permanent collection, Magazzino Italian Art also has a rotating exhibition space, cafe, research library, and Sardinian Donkey Stables. (Each Donkey has a name that starts with D, like Dante and Don Quixote)

Currently on display, you can see Venetian glasswork by Yoichi Ohira, a multifaceted view of Alighiero Boetti, and new exhibition on Bruna Esposito that just opened in July.

Rows of McDonald’s fries stand against a field of saturated red. The cartons are instantly familiar, but their repetition transforms an everyday order into something closer to a crowd: abundant, organised and carefully staged.

At first, the photograph appears playful. Look again, and its mood becomes harder to place.

Owls turn up in nearly half of ‘s surviving work, and “The Garden of Earthly Delights” alone hides several, including one tucked inside the pink Fountain of Life (swipe to the end for that one).

Today, we celebrate International Owl Awareness Day with Hieronymus Bosch, who might be the most owl-obsessed painter in history.

In the modern day, Owls are a symbol of wisdom. In Bosch’s world, owls were creatures tied to looming danger. Today, the looming danger of Species decline are why conservation groups declared August 4th as Owl Awareness day.
