Exhibitions: Tales from the Other Side

1 month ago | themagazineantiques.com | Thomas Connors

For the unbeliever, the skeptic, the misanthrope, few movements could elicit greater disdain than the spiritualism that arose in the late 1840s and swept through American society into the 1920s. Its impulse—to penetrate the afterlife and communicate with the departed—is far from extinct, but the fervor of those early adherents and the spectacles its practitioners produced, often the work of illusionists and prestidigitators, are hard to fathom in this more skeptical age.
Field Notes: Sniffing the Zeitgeist

1 month ago | themagazineantiques.com | Elizabeth Pochoda

On visiting the Old Print Shop in New York, where lessons for the present abound in printed images from America’s political past. A few months ago, our guest editor, Thomas Jayne, suggested I visit Robert Newman of the Old Print Shop with a view to writing an article on prejudice in prints, especially those issued by Currier and Ives. Always ready for a bit of controversy joined to social justice, I was game.
Art of the Deal - The Magazine Antiques

1 month ago | themagazineantiques.com | Sierra Holt

For the second exhibition at its new gallery space at 18 Cooper Square, the Grey Art Museum of New York University is uncovering a relatively unknown changemaker of Parisian avant-garde art. Make Way for Berthe Weill takes museumgoers on a biographical journey through the life and career of the Parisian art dealer, whose gallery, Galerie B. Weill, assisted in establishing the careers of some of the towering figures in modern art. First located at 25 rue Victor-Massé in Paris, Galerie B.
Exhibitions: Siena, an Art-Historical Brigadoon

Jan 2, 2025 | themagazineantiques.com | James Gardner

In the grand arc of the history of Western painting, Siena is indisputably important, but one is not quite sure in what way. In the last quarter of the thirteenth century, Siena rivaled Florence as one of those watersheds that forever altered the course of our visual culture. If Florence could boast of Cimabue, Siena could claim Duccio. A little later, the Sienese master Simone Martini could stand his ground against Giotto himself.
Exhibitions: The American Renaissance at Yale

Jan 2, 2025 | themagazineantiques.com | Thomas Connors

Warren Buffet once told his shareholders that he and his team “enjoy the process far more than the proceeds.” That may be hard to believe for anyone not enjoying his fortune, but the truth is, no matter what the endeavor, it is better to travel hopefully than arrive.
Artful Distortions

Dec 30, 2024 | themagazineantiques.com | Margaret Shakespeare

In the nineteenth century Paul Kane’s dignified and captivatingly detailed paintings of Native American life, along with the artist’s published travelogue from his sojourn across the continent, did much to form Western notions about North America’s original inhabitants. But a four-volume examination by Canadian academic Ian MacLaren digs into the slipshod observational habits and artistic license that mark Kane’s work and limit the reliability of his record.
Field Notes: Redefining Americana

Dec 20, 2024 | themagazineantiques.com | Elizabeth Pochoda

A new installation at the two-hundred-year-old Brooklyn Museum presents a moving and persuasive rethinking of American art. If it were in any other city, the Brooklyn Museum would be a world-class destination—and for the savvy museumgoer it already is. Despite the looming presence of the Met to its north, the museum has always embraced its outer borough status.
Alpine Design - The Magazine Antiques

Dec 2, 2024 | themagazineantiques.com | James Gardner

The Alps are an altered state. Perhaps one could say as much for all mountains. Taking us far from the plains where most of humanity has lived since the dawn of time, they seem to bring us closer to the sun, where the air is purer and the din of cities feels like a distant rumor.
The Ballets Russes Goes To San Antonio

Nov 18, 2024 | themagazineantiques.com | Sierra Holt

After the first season of the Ballets Russes began in 1909, the world of ballet was never the same. Formed by Serge Pavlovich Diaghilev, Ballets Russes performances brought an avant-garde rethinking of classical and new ballets through the dances they performed and the artistic materials (sets, props, and costumes) used to tell these stories. No longer were productions reliant on symbolist thinking with simple backgrounds and ballerinas performing in stiff tutus.
