A team of South Korean researchers has put forward a new date for the night sky depicted in Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh's famed masterpiece "The Starry Night". Art historians have long assumed the stars were a product of the artist's fantasy or dated the scene to June 1889 based on the artist's location and other details, but astronomical details like the sliver crescent moon don't line up.
The event will be held in Kalamaharshi K.B. Kulkarni Art Gallery, Varerkar Natya Sangh, Near Herwadkar School in Tilakwadi

For anyone who has visited the Chinese galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, there is one work that stops them in their tracks. Stepping into Gallery 206, home to Chinese Buddhist art, visitors are met by a monumental wall – over 15 metres wide and 7.5 metres tall (nearly 50 feet by 25 feet) – covered in a Buddhist assembly so vast and majestic that it momentarily erases the Manhattan bustle outside.

O público da capital paulista conseguiu mais tempo para apreciar as mais de 100 obras da exposição Miró: Mestre das Formas. A visitação, no Museu de Arte Brasileira, da Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado (MAB FAAP), em Higienópolis, ficará aberta até 13 de dezembro. São gravuras, litografias, esculturas, filmes, fotografias e tapeçarias - muitas inéditas no Brasil - do pintor catalão, um dos mais destacados artistas do século 20.

Ainda adolescente, aos 14 anos, passou a ter a arte como cotidiano, matriculado em uma escola de belas artes. Miró foi um dos discípulos do também barcelonês Francesc d’Assís Galí i Fabra, que pintou o teto do Palau Nacional, local onde está atualmente o Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC). Em 90 anos de vida, Miró, que, em princípio, pendeu mais para o fauvismo - vanguarda artística modernista que surgiu na França no início do século XX -, se submeteu a um processo de aprimoramento e experimentação profundos. Permitiu a troca de materiais, inclusive, mas sua assinatura e sua preocupação com o contexto sociopolítico da época não são apagados nunca de suas obras. O surrealista viveu no exílio por causa da guerra civil espanhola. A forma como manifesta sentimentos provocados por ela é, embora abstrata, tão perceptível quanto as representações figurativas, com seu caráter biomórfico (que se inspira em formas orgânicas e vivas da natureza). Diante de suas obras, em um museu, é possível entender um pouco como partiu do primeiro encontro com o fundador do surrealismo, André Breton, e chegou às suas composições. A cada elemento, é como se se pisasse em um e outro nível de um gramado de um terreno acidentado, ativando referências de Miró e seu país e de si mesmo, conscientes ou inconscientes. Há uma década, ao doar obras para serem leiloadas e angariar recursos para a Cruz Vermelha, seu neto Joan Punyet Miró, destacou o espírito solidário do avô. "Ele sempre quis ajudar os mais desfavorecidos, os refugiados e os exilados. Hoje, estaria consciente de que o que está acontecendo na Síria poderia acontecer na Espanha", disse Punyet na ocasião.

Christie’s auctioneer Rupert Banner leans forward with practised showmanship as bidding stalls on a rare Yongzheng bowl near New York’s iconic Rockefeller Centre. He pauses as if willing offers from thin air, scanning dozens of in-person buyers and phone banks connecting with China, London, Texas. It will be a bad look if the frenzy abates for this delicate peach-decorated bowl highlighted on Christie’s glossy Chinese sale catalogue and online advertising. But bidding soon resumes with a...
