Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Kunstmuseum Bern have jointly acquired a major sculpture by the Ghanaian artist El Anatsui. The work, entitled
In the World But Don’t Know the World (2009), comes from the Sigg collection founded by Uli Sigg, a former Swiss ambassador to China.
For the Stedelijk Museum, the purchase was funded by the Vereniging Rembrandt (Rembrandt Foundation), the Mondriaan Fund, and the BankGiro Loterij; on the Kunstmuseum Bern side, funding came from the Swiss foundation Stiftung GegenwART, with “special thanks to the Sigg Collection”, both museums stress. “Rising prices on the art market make it increasingly difficult for public art institutions to acquire new works by celebrated artists,” says a joint statement.
One cannot appreciate 20th-century art without understanding the significance and genius of Paul Cézanne.
Filmed on location at the National Portrait Gallery London, National Gallery of Art Washington, and Musée d’Orsay Paris, this film features interviews with curators and experts, and correspondence from the artist himself, taking us beyond Cézanne’s portraits to the places he lived and worked, and sheds light on an artist who is perhaps the least known of all the Impressionists – until now.
Narrated by Emmy Award-winning actor Brian Cox.

Solo exhibition dedicated to the collage work of Hannelore Baron opens at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery
Installation view.
NEW YORK, NY
.-Michael Rosenfeld Gallery is presenting Hannelore Baron: Collages, a solo exhibition dedicated to the collage work of Hannelore Baron (1926-1987). This exhibition features twenty intimate and meticulously-composed collages from the 1980s. In her collage work that masterfully combines experimental printmaking techniques with found materials, Baron condensed a wide range of influences and an expansive concern for the human condition into intimately-scaled expressions of thought and feeling. She wrote of her work: The thoughts and feelings that underlie the collages are those of concern with the social issues and problems of the century, as well as the precariousness of existence at any time.
