100th Birthday of Diane Arbus

Beyond the Horizon

Diane Arbus complemented her supposedly smooth history by unceremoniously charging it with a self-written antagonist role: as a fashion photographer and photojournalist, she contrasted the glamorously staged at some point with her pronounced interest in the different. The artist's tense life ended too soon - today she would have turned 100.

The Morgan Library & Museum shows Piranesi's drawings

Sublime Ideas

Many would consider it arrogant to call your own ideas »sublime«. In Piranesi's case, perhaps you are more ambivalent: His drawings and sketches are evidence of an architectural understanding that pays tribute to the Italian etcher's self-chosen attribute. Beginning March 10, The Morgan Library & Museum shows why Piranesi's self-praise was justified.

Fondation CAB in Brussels: »André Cadere: Expanding Art«

Round bars and undiscovered material

Two very different creative periods limited to 18 years: to do justice to André Cadere's work in all its facets is rather complex. The Fondation CAB in Brussels has taken on precisely this undertaking. From March 7, the public will have the chance to explore the result.

Interviews

What affects your choice of colors? What made you start making artwork out of old books? You are in fact a mortician and now also gallery owner, how did that happen? Art.Salon allowed itself to ask artists questions that literally impose themselves when looking at the Art. The interviews with contemporary artists allow us to look deeply and understand better.

Controversy

Art makes politics – but that does not only refer to the work. Art politicizes itself not only through its creator. Also the scene reproduces injustices. The Art.Salon explored political controversies such as the gender pay gap and looted art.

Louise Bourgeois

The indomitable artist Louise Bourgeois stirred up the U.S. art world until she was nearly 100 years old. Born near Paris in 1911, she reckoned with her oppressive family history until her death in 2010: Ambiguous genitalia, morbid massacre installations, oversized spiders, and numerous other creative works bear witness to this cathartic process.

Exhibtion
Art Market

For those on the outside, the art market is opaque and often poses a mystery. Trends are difficult to see from the outside, and being included in the circle of collectors leaves you perplexed at the beginning. The Art.Salon brings light into the darkness, where the art market is otherwise rather hidden.
