☆ At TEFAF Art Fair, Museums Make Up for Shrinking Private Sales

“This would be a bold acquisition to make,” said Frederick Ilchman, the chair of European paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. This extraordinary, long-lost portrait by Lavinia Fontana was an outstanding example of the many works by women artists on show Thursday at the bustling preview of the TEFAF Maastricht fair in the Netherlands. The Fontana portrait was priced at 4.5 million euros, about $5 million, on the booth of the Geneva-based dealership Rob Smeets. Ilchman has regularly traveled from Boston to TEFAF since 2007; in that time, the focus of his acquisitions has evolved. It seems like a useful task to amend this discrepancy,” he added, acknowledging that museums with large holdings of pre-20th art can seem disconnected from the 21st century’s cultural concerns.

☆ A Giant of Painting Sheds New Light on Darkness

“Some darknesses refuse to fade,” the poet Danielle DeTiberus observed after contemplating “Judith Beheading Holofernes” by Artemisia Gentileschi. Having recently seen the dark paintings by Pierre Soulages at Lévy Gorvy Dayan gallery, in Manhattan, the poet’s lyric resonated. DeTiberus, in “The Artist Signs Her Masterpiece, Immodestly,” sees in Gentileschi’s depiction of a revenge killing the assertion of her agency. Kerry James Marshall used jet black skin tones to make Black people seem like human archetypes birthed from a subterranean womb. Ad Reinhardt painted subtly dark canvases at the edge of our eyes’ scotopic capabilities, their hues legible only after prolonged looking.

☆ I’ve Never Been an Impulse Buyer—Until Now
  + stars: | 2022-09-08 | by ( Julia Carpenter | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
During periods of high inflation, consumers sometimes try to “lock in” prices on long-desired items. First, there was the oh-so-smudgeable lilac eyeliner, another $16 added to my cart on a whim. Then, there was the $30 Etsy T-shirt, customized to print Artemisia Gentileschi’s “Judith Slaying Holofernes,” purchased on my phone in the dead of night. But the third impulse buy prompted some reflection. Did I really need a 2-foot-tall minimalist neon sculpture of Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring?” No, of course not.
