‘Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian Tehran / New York’ is a comprehensive exhibition devoted to the fascinating Iranian artist (1922 - 2018) at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm #mounirshahroudyfarmanfarmaian #iranianart #womenartists #modernamuseet #stockholm @modernamuseet 13 Nov 2026 From two JPEGs on Tumblr to international gallery recognition. How did success begin for Louisa Gagliardi?? In 2015, shortly after starting her career, Louisa uploaded two portraits created in Photoshop to Tumblr. Within a week, galleries in New York and Dublin were reaching out to exhibit her work. In conversation with curator Simon de Pury, Louisa looks back at the unexpected beginnings of her artistic career. Watch the full interview on FAMM’s YouTube channel. Link in bio. Discover IN PLAIN SIGHT, Louisa Gagliardi’s first institutional exhibition in France, presented by FAMM at the Centre d’Art de Mougins until 4 April 2027. #famm #inplainsight #simondepury #louisagagliardi #exhibition 12 Nov 2026 What a surprise it was to walk into the Moderna Museet in Stockholm yesterday afternoon and to bump into Will Ferrell (1) one of my all time heroes and his lovely wife Viveca Paulin (2). Viveca is an auctioneer and a trustee of the LACMA. Back in 2008 Will Ferrell featured on the cover of the inaugural Phillips de Pury auction catalog of Modern and Contemporary Editions (4). He wrote on the wonderful portrait Mark Seliger took of him a great dedication to Kelly Troester and Cary Leibowitz (4/7) who since then are the very successful worldwide directors of the Phillips Modern and Contemporary Editions department. Wherever Will Ferrell goes he brings joy and laughter (3) which is the supreme gift! #willferrell #vivecapaulin #modernamuseet #lacma @viveca_paulin @kelly_troester @phillipsauction @lacma @modernamuseet 12 Nov 2026 #newyorknewyork #newyorkimpressions #ilovenewyork #bigcityofdreams #bigapple 11 Nov 2026 Last Saturday the Swiss Institute (SI) in New York celebrated its 40th anniversary during its annual Benefit Gala & Auction in the Rainbow Room of the Rockefeller Center. Albert Oehlen was one of the honorees. He donated a wonderful painting for the auction. 1 Albert Oehlen in front of the work that he donated 2 Albert Oehlen 2022 3 Charline von Heyl, Christopher Wool, Lawrence Luhring, Albert Oehlen 4 Yaiza Armbruster, Aileen Agopian, Nicolas Party, Barbara Corti 5 Julie Mehretu giving the ‘laudatio’ speech for honoree Nairy Baghramian 6 Chandelier hanging in the Rainbow Room at the Rockefeller Center #albertoehlen #swissinstitute #nairybaghramian #juliemehretu #stefaniehessler @swissinstitute @steffihessler 11 Nov 2026 Bacon / de Kooning is a must see exhibition at Lévy Gorvy Dayan #francisbacon #willemdekooning #dominiquelevy #brettgorvy #amaliadayan @levygorvydayan @dominiquealevy @brettgorvy @amalia_dayan 10 Nov 2026 New York Auction week at Phillips 1/2/3/4/5 David Hockney 6 Lisa Yuskavage 7 Julian Schnabel 8 Tomoo Gokita 9 Sterling Ruby 10 Fernando Botero 11/19 Joseph Yaeger 12 Anna Weyant 13 Andy Warhol 14 Keith Haring 15 Daniel Arsham 16 Frank Stella 17/18 Sanya Kantarovsky 20 Jenna Gribbon #phillips #auctionweek #contemporaryart #art @phillipsauction 10 Nov 2026 I always say that if you love candies there is no better place to work than in the candy store! Auction week in New York is always the ultimate treat with innumerable gems being offered at the main auction houses.

A visit to the Breuer building is a unique opportunity to see a number of masterpieces before they are being dispersed in all directions. The works above are just a tiny selection of art works that caught my eye. 1/2/3 René Magritte 4 Max Ernst 5 Léonora Carrington & Edward James 6/7 Paul Cézanne 8 Vincent van Gogh 9 Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec 10 Auguste Renoir 11 Edgar Degas 12 Claude Monet 13 Oskar Kokoschka 14 Edward Hopper 15 Walton Ford 16 Fernando Botero in front of a Morris Louis 17 Simone Leigh in front of a Mark Bradford 18 Kerry James Marshall 19 David Hockney 20 Isamu Noguchi #sothebys #artmarket #art #auctions #eye @sothebys 08 Nov 2026 Last Thursday the exhibition ‘In Plain Sight - Louisa Gagliardi’ opened under the auspices of FAMM (Femmes Artistes du Musée de Mougins) in a house lent by the Municipality of Mougins. It is the first institutional show devoted to the Swiss artist in France. 1 Louisa Gagliardi in front of her self portrait 4 Louisa Gagliardi speaking to the press next to the painting she did of her husband in the shower 5 Christian Levett who in 2024 founded FAMM the first institution in continental Europe to be devoted entirely to women artists and Kira Streletzki 6 The great Korean artist Minjung Kim seated on a sculpture by Louisa Gagliardi 7 Leisa Paoli Director of FAMM and Louisa Gagliardi 8 Installation in full swing 12 Louisa Gagliardi signing and dating one of her works 20 Glasses waiting for the guests at the vernissage. #louisagagliardi #inplainsight #famm #womenartists #mougins @louisagagliardi @christian_levett @famm_mougins @leisalou06 @minjung_kim_art @kiracecile 07 Nov 2026 Joan Miró has always been one of my favorite 20th century sculptors. Bizarrely his sculptures are in my view underrated and undervalued. During an exhibition installation break at the FAMM Mougins I hopped over to neighboring Saint Paul de Vence. Even under heavy rain there is no better place to appreciate the originality, variety and humor of Miró’s sculptures than at the Fondation Maeght. #joanmiro #fondationmaeght #sculpture #saintpauldevence @fondationmaeght 07 Nov 2026 Tomorrow Saturday November 7 the Swiss Institute in New York will celebrate it’s 40th anniversary at it’s annual Benefit Gala & Auction. Albert Oehlen and Nairy Baghramian will be the honorees. I greatly look forward to conduct the auction which will include the works above that have been so generously donated by the artists 1 Albert Oehlen 2 Theaster Gates 3/4 Nairy Baghramian 5/6 Raúl de Nieves 7 Greg Parma Smith 8 Gabriel Kuri 9 Joan Jonas #swissinstitute #albertoehlen #stefaniehessler #contemporaryart #si @swissinstitute @steffihessler Swiss Institute (SI) is an independent non-profit contemporary art institution that is brilliantly run by it’s Director Stefanie Hessler 06 Nov 2026
