On view October 8, 2023–January 15, 2024 BOSTON (August 9, 2023) - John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) brought his sitters to life, but he did much more than simply record what appeared before him. He pinned and draped, he changed or ignored decorative details, and sometimes he simply made it up. Organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), and Tate Britain, Fashioned by Sargent explores the artist’s influence over his sitters’ images by illuminating the liberties he took with sartorial choices to express distinctive personalities, social positions, professions, gender identities and nationalities. The exhibition features approximately 50 paintings by Sargent—including major loans from museums and private collections around the world—along with more than a dozen dresses and accessories. Several of these garments are reunited for the first time with Sargent’s portraits of the sitters who once wore them. Through the lens of dress, Fashioned by Sargent presents exciting new scholarship and offers a new perspective on the artist’s creative practice. Fashioned by Sargent is sponsored by Bank of America. Generously supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art, and Tom and Bonnie Rosse. Additional support from Lynn Dale and Frank Wisneski, the Barbara M. Eagle Exhibition Fund, the MFA Associates / MFA Senior Associates Exhibition Endowment Fund, the Dr. Lawrence H. and Roberta Cohn Fund for Exhibitions, and the Alexander M. Levine and Dr. Rosemarie D. Bria-Levine Exhibition Fund. Fashioned by Sargent is co-organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Tate Britain, London. |

UNTIL 14 JANUARY 2024 A major exhibition about the artists of the renowned Casablanca Art School Tate St Ives will be the first museum in the UK to explore the intense period of artistic rebirth that followed Morocco’s independence, forged by the experimental teaching methods of the Casablanca Art School in the 1960s and 1970s. Led by Farid Belkahia alongside Mohammed Chabâa, Mohamed Melehi and others, this pioneering school paved the way for a new generation of socially engaged modern artists who formed an influential avant-garde network. Works by 22 artists will be brought together to demonstrate the wide variety of the Moroccan ‘new wave’, from vibrant abstract paintings and urban murals to applied arts, typography, graphics and interior design. The exhibition will also include a selection of rarely-seen print archives, vintage journals, documentary photographs and films. This exhibition is a collaboration between Tate St Ives and Sharjah Art Foundation, where it will open in February 2024. It is also part of a key moment of international research into the Casablanca Art School, which includes a collaborative project initiated in 2020 between KW Institute for Contemporary Art and Sharjah Art Foundation, in partnership with Goethe-Institut Marokko, ThinkArt and Zamân Books & Curating.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Tate St Ives, Their Majesties The King and Queen visited the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden today. They were given a tour of Hepworth’s studio and garden, which is cared for by Tate St Ives, and were introduced to several people who have played important roles in Tate St Ives’s success over the past 30 years. The visit was hosted by Anne Barlow (Director of Tate St Ives) and Roland Rudd (Chair of Tate). Their Majesties began their visit in Hepworth’s beautiful studio space, filled with some of the artist’s most famous works in wood, bronze, marble and plaster. Dr Sophie Bowness (Barbara Hepworth’s granddaughter) introduced the history of the building, alongside Dame Jayne-Anne Gadhia (Trustee of Tate) and Sir Anthony Salz (Chair of Tate St Ives Advisory Council). The King and Queen then had a tour of Hepworth’s garden and the many sculptures on display there. Head Gardener Jodi Dickinson, who began his career in horticulture thanks to the support of The Prince’s Trust, described how he has worked to restore the garden to its former glory. Together they planted a penstemon shrub to celebrate the royal visit, and Their Majesties were presented with a gift of some rare seeds from a cineraria which was originally planted by Hepworth herself. |

HERMANN NITSCH MUSÉE DE L'ORANGERIE
MUSÉE DE L'ORANGERIE 11 Octobre 2023 - 29 Janvier 2024 La Galerie RX est heureuse de vous annoncer la prochaine exposition ( https://www.galerierx.com/fr ) d'Hermann Nitsch au Musée de l'Orangerie. Galerie RX is delighted to announce Hermann Nitsch's forthcoming exhibition at the Musée de l'Orangerie. Exposition du 11 Octobre 2023 au 29 janvier 2024 - Exhibition from October 11, 2023 to January 29, 2024 Contrepoint #11 - Counterpoint #11 Considéré comme un artiste majeur du mouvement de l'Actionnisme viennois dont il fut l'un des fondateurs, Hermann Nitsch, né en 1938 à Vienne, est décédé en avril 2022 à Mistelbach (Autriche), où il vivait et travaillait. Reconnu internationalement comme le maître de la performance autrichienne, l'artiste a développé un œuvre puissamment expressif, empruntant à la dramaturgie religieuse pour développer un art total culminant chaque année depuis les années 1950 dans ses « Orgien Mysterien Theater », où il invitait amis et publics à six jours de festivités et de performances ininterrompues. Durant les dernières années de sa carrière, Hermann Nitsch a développé une peinture d'une grande vitalité, de plus en plus colorée, toujours étroitement liée à ses actes performatifs et aux lieux dans lesquels elle intervient. Fasciné par les Nymphéas de Monet, auxquels il rendait hommage au musée de l'Orangerie lors chacun de ses séjours à Paris, l'artiste viennois a été invité avant sa mort à venir dialoguer avec ce chef d'œuvre de l'impressionnisme, dont il a souligné la proximité qu'il y voyait avec les enjeux de sa propre pratique : « dans mes performances, ma peinture expressive et religieuse est devenue un drame achevé, une dramaturgie analytique. |
