Surround-sound art in Portugal

1 week ago | apollo-magazine.com | Robert Barry

From the May 2025 issue of Apollo. Preview and subscribe here. It’s a little after 10pm on a Saturday night and I’m standing in half a foot of water at the bottom of a medieval cistern in Coimbra in Portugal. I’m drinking a maple syrup mai tai and leaning against a makeshift tiki bar festooned with bamboo sticks and coloured lights.

The National Gallery unwraps its birthday present to itself

1 week ago | apollo-magazine.com | Michael Prodger

From the May 2025 issue of Apollo. Preview and subscribe here. The walls of the National Gallery have always felt generously stocked, leaving barely a pause in the progression from one of the world’s great paintings to the next. Nevertheless, in global terms, the collection, however choice, is a small one: the Louvre has some 5,500 paintings, the Prado 8,000, while the Hermitage in St Petersburg groans under 17,000. So the 2,300 pictures housed at Trafalgar Square seems paltry by comparison.
Suzanne Valadon’s shifting gaze

1 week ago | apollo-magazine.com | Hettie Judah

From the May 2025 issue of Apollo. Preview and subscribe here. Suzanne Valadon’s name testifies to her early status as an object to be looked at. Born Marie-Clémentine, she was purportedly dubbed ‘Suzanne’ by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec during her years as a model. It was an off-colour joke – a reference to the Old Testament tale in which two men spy on the beautiful Susanna as she bathes, then attempt to blackmail her into sex.

A new chapter for the Parthenon Marbles?

2 weeks ago | apollo-magazine.com | Fatema Ahmed

In ‘Frieze Frame: How Poets, Painters, and their Friends Framed the Debate Around Elgin and the Marbles of the Parthenon’ (Paul Dry Books), the poet A.E. Stallings tells the story of how Lord Elgin removed the sculptures from the Athenian Acropolis and considers how they have fared in London ever since.
A new dawn for the art of South African wine labels

3 weeks ago | apollo-magazine.com | Christina Makris

In South Africa, the design of wine farms and estates can be every bit as varied as the wines they produce. Even historic estates from the 18th century have been reworked and remade for contemporary visitors and consumers. The Stellenbosch region, around 50km east of Cape Town, features some of the oldest vineyards in the country.

In the studio with… A.A. Murakami

4 weeks ago | apollo-magazine.com | Debika Ray

Under the name A.A. Murakami, Alexander Groves and Azusa Murakami explore the boundaries between technology and nature, creating automated, technological works that are subject to the same physical laws – humidity, air turbulence, temperature – as our own bodies. During Milan Design Week in April, they showed two examples of their Ephemeral Tech series (2017–) at Opposites United, a festival of art, design, talks and music organised by the car company Kia at the city’s Museo della Permanente.
