Commemorating the 50th anniversary of Pablo Picasso’s death, Elmhurst Art Museum joins a global movement of shows looking back at the artist’s work to present Picasso: 50 Years Later, a celebration of his unmistakable influence on modern art.

Organized in three parts, the exhibition introduces Picasso in the context of his contemporaries, like Alexander Archipenko, Fernand Léger, and Joan Miró. The museum also debuts a series of linocut prints from a private collection, which will later embark on a tour titled Picasso and the Progressive Proof. And Chicago-based contemporary artists Laura Berger, Liz Flores, Richard Hull, Leasho Johnson, and José Lerma highlight how the artist’s legacy is reappraised and reimagined in figurative work being made today.

Picasso: 50 Years Later continues through January 27, 2024, in Elmhurst, Illinois. Visit the museum’s website for more information and to plan your visit.

The work that American artist Bob Ross completed on air during the first episode of his hit television programme The Joy of Painting has been put up for sale for a whopping $9.85m, a figure the gallery selling it calls a “not-for-sale number,” as they plan to take the work on tour.

Ross hosted The Joy of Painting, an instructional artmaking series that aired on American public broadcaster PBS from 1983 to 1994. Over more than 400 episodes, Ross showed viewers how he painted mostly nature and landscape scenes, and he became popular for his calm demeanor and encouraging catchphrases like, “We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.” (He also famously liked to paint “happy little trees” and “happy little clouds”.)

While Ross produced tens of thousands of paintings before his death in 1995, his work rarely appears at auction. The vast majority of the paintings Ross made for The Joy of Painting remain stored in the offices of Bob Ross Inc., the company that controls Ross’s intellectual property, which doesn’t plan on selling the works.

But Modern Artifact, a gallery in Minneapolis, Minnesota—which has sold multiple Ross paintings that have appeared on the market—recently put A Walk in the Woods (1983), from the programme’s first episode, up for sale. The painting was previously owned by a woman who volunteered at the PBS station where The Joy of Painting was filmed, according to Modern Artifact. She had won it in an auction to support the station, and she sold it to Modern Artifact last year, the gallery said. Modern Artifact has put it up for sale for a staggering $9.85m, but with the understanding that the painting may not fetch a bidder at such a high price.

“We are seeing a huge demand for his original works, which are hard to come by,” Modern Artifact’s Ryan Nelson said in a statement. “It is hard to put a value on the piece given the movement, the popularity and the fact that this is the very first on-air painting on The Joy of Painting. If someone were to make a seven-figure offer, we would, of course, consider that. Until then, we plan to tour this Bob Ross painting that started it all.”

The first-ever episode of The Joy of Painting, in which Ross paints A Walk in the Woods, can be viewed in its entirety on YouTube. Among the many pop-culture references to Ross and his show over the years, the artist recently inspired a character played by actor Owen Wilson in the film Paint, released earlier this year.

It’s no secret that businesses want more creativity. In one recent study, 77 percent of CEOs said they struggle to find the innovation and creativity skills they need. At the same time, creativity has never been in more demand. The basis of competition is shifting as technology continues to reshape industries. In a post-pandemic world, people are questioning long-held assumptions about the workplace. Attention is increasingly turning to the impacts of business on communities and the environment. Unfortunately, corporate cultures tend to limit the very creativity they need and organizations get stuck reproducing the “best practices” of the past. RISD is launching a new program that aims to help.

RISD has always embraced the power of art and design to shape the world and the value of creative thinkers to take on its big challenges. The college is committed to educating students and the public and contributing to society through critical thinking and innovation across disciplines. Of course, educating future artists and designers is central to that mission, but RISD doesn’t believe creativity should be restricted to a chosen few.

RISD ExED is a new initiative to create educational opportunities for business people regardless of their level of formal design training. Its goal is to enable people from any industry to transform their work with new insights and inspiration while exploring the intersections of art, design, and business.

RISD’s riverside campus in Providence, Rhode Island

ExED’s first pilot program, the Art of Creativity, is designed for people from any field who want to reinvigorate their own work as an opportunity for creative practice. RISD’s tradition of studio education means participants won’t just be sitting in lectures. A mix of on-campus, online, and on-the-job activities will help participants reconnect with their own creative aspirations, build habits that foster creative practice, tap into the creative power of groups, and lead creative work in their own organizations.

The Art of Creativity is an open-enrollment program that individual learners can sign up for themselves. The on-campus launch of the inaugural cohort will take place on December 5 and 6. ExED is offering early registration discounts for participants who sign up by September 30.

To register, visit risd.edu/exed/art-of-creativity.

Over the coming years, RISD ExED will be developing a portfolio of programs for executive and corporate audiences that draw on faculty from across the institution and the expertise of the extended RISD community. The next program in their pipeline, The Design Lab, will allow a single company to convene collaborators around a tough business challenge and approach it in a new way through the lens of design. Additional program titles have yet to be announced, but if RISD’s track record as a place for experimentation and exploration is any indicator, they promise to be interesting.

Lucky Tree Café & Makers Market stands as a testament to the dreams and aspirations of twin sisters, Amanda and Ashley. With a vision cultivated since childhood, these entrepreneurial sisters have transformed their dream into a vibrant reality that not only reflects their passion but also enriches the community they cherish.

A journey that blossomed in 2015

The journey of Lucky Tree Café & Makers Market commenced in 2015, but its roots run much deeper. Amanda and Ashley, driven by a shared ambition that was nurtured throughout their lives, embarked on a journey that brought their cherished dream to life. The seeds of inspiration for Lucky Tree were sown in their beloved childhood treehouse, a cherished space that symbolized camaraderie, creativity and community.

A blend of creativity and sustainability

Stepping into Lucky Tree Café & Makers Market is akin to entering an artistic oasis that celebrates ingenuity and sustainability. The décor is a masterful fusion of discarded items transformed into captivating pieces of art, echoing the sisters’ commitment to repurposing and breathing new life into forgotten treasures. Just as their childhood treehouse was a haven for neighborhood children, the sisters extend an invitation to the community to embrace Lucky Tree as a place of their own.

A gallery of local artistry

Lucky Tree is not merely a café—it’s a sanctuary that honors the creative spirit of more than 50 local artists. Within its walls, an eclectic array of artwork and handmade creations come together, forming a tapestry of local talent and artistic expression. This commitment to showcasing local artistry not only adds character to the space but also fosters a sense of connection between patrons and the vibrant art scene of the community.

Delicious treats with a nourishing twist

Beyond its artistic allure, Lucky Tree Café & Makers Market tantalizes taste buds with an exceptional culinary experience. The sisters have meticulously curated a menu that delights the senses while adhering to their principles of wholesomeness. Boasting locally roasted coffee, an array of exquisite hot teas and a dedication to whole, wheat-free ingredients, their delightful offerings cater to various preferences, including the vegan palate. Every item on the menu is a testament to their dedication to providing products that align with their values and resonate with health-conscious consumers.

A vision for the future

For Amanda and Ashley, Lucky Tree Café & Makers Market is more than a business – it’s a canvas of possibilities and a stage for ongoing artistic evolution. With a commitment to supporting local artists and nurturing community bonds, the café is set to evolve organically, mirroring the ever-changing landscape of artistic expression and culinary innovation.

Lucky Tree Café & Makers Market is more than just a coffee shop. It’s a place where dreams come true, creativity thrives and community comes together. When you step inside, you’re invited to be a part of something special. A place that celebrates the power of imagination, the importance of sustainability and the simple things in life.

Lucky Tree Café & Makers Market is located at 3801 Hillsborough Street Suite 137 Raleigh, NC 27607. Musical open mics are held bi-weekly on Monday nights starting at 7PM.

Sotheby’s has announced it will be offering the $400mn-plus collection of about 120 works that belonged to the Manhattan patron of the arts Emily Fisher Landau, who died in March, aged 102. Two dedicated auctions, on November 8-9, both guaranteed, should give the art market a necessary boost after a weaker season before the summer break.

A longtime trustee of and significant donor to the Whitney Museum of American Art, Fisher Landau stands out as “one of the foremost female collectors of the 20th century”, says Brooke Lampley, global head of Sotheby’s fine art division. “She bought like a museum, as if she had its benefit of hindsight.”

Fisher Landau began collecting art in earnest after a jewellery theft from her New York home in 1969 resulted in a hefty insurance payout. Her collection at Sotheby’s spans major postwar artists — including Pablo Picasso, Mark Rothko and Georgia O’Keeffe — and more recent success stories, such as Glenn Ligon, Nan Goldin and Mark Tansey.

Sotheby’s top estimate by far is reserved for Picasso’s “Femme à la montre”, a bold painting of Marie-Thérèse Walter from the artist’s celebrated year of 1932, priced at more than $120mn. Fisher Landau bought the work in 1968 from Pace.

There are more works in the collection, some of which are being kept by Landau Fisher’s daughter, with others expected to come to market, though Sotheby’s could not confirm.

Picasso is the star of a different sort of sale this season — that of the Dutch couple Pieter and Olga Dreesmann, who are offering 32 of the artist’s works on paper, ceramics and sculptures through Ward Moretti. The exhibition opens in London on October 9, before travelling to the gallery’s new space in Paris and then to New York, where co-founder Emma Ward has rented a gallery on the Upper East Side for the show (November 6-18).

The earliest work in the collection is a drawing of Picasso’s friend and fellow young artist, Carles Casagemas (1899-1900), used as the image alongside the sitter’s obituary after he died by suicide in 1901. A sheet-metal sculpture, “Tête d’homme barbu” (1962), is the latest work in the exhibition, with other highlights including an unusually tender drawing of Dora Maar from 1937, bought from the sitter’s estate in 1998. Such intimate works “could get lost in an auction environment”, Ward says.

The Dreesmanns say they are selling the works to “begin a new chapter in our lives as collectors”, something they have done before, with the £25.3mn sale of their Dutch Old Master paintings in 2012. Their Picasso collection is valued at more than $40mn, Ward says, with individual prices ranging from $12,500 to $3.5mn.

Christie’s has landed Paula Rego’s majestic two-part pastel “Dancing Ostriches from Walt Disney’s ‘Fantasia’” (1995), which it will offer in London next month with an estimate of £2.2mn-£3.2mn — it would mark a record public price for the Anglo-Portuguese artist. The work was originally commissioned by London’s Hayward Gallery for its 1996 Spellbound: Art and Film exhibition.

Rego used her favourite model, Lila Nunes, for the ballet dancers, who come across as “deeply human and rooted, with a real physical presence”, says Tessa Lord, Christie’s interim head of postwar and contemporary art. Rego is a relative rarity at auction, partly accounting for what Lord describes as her being “slightly undervalued” on the public market. Her record stands at £1.1mn, made in 2015 for “The Cadet and his Sister” (1988).

Stuart Shave will open the first international outpost of his Modern Art gallery in Paris, joining the incoming Hauser & Wirth and Mendes Wood in the French capital next month. Modern Art’s 2,000 sq ft, second-floor space will be in a Haussmann-designed building on Place de l’Alma in the city’s central eighth arrondissement.

Shave says that the move has been in the planning for a few years — “most of my artists don’t have representation in Paris” — but that it wasn’t a Brexit-motivated decision. The aim is for the Paris gallery to “complement” what he is doing in London, given the proximity of the two cities, he says. The UK capital, where he has two galleries, is “still the best city in the world for contemporary art”.

Each location will function very differently, Shave adds — the Paris gallery will host about three shows per year, versus more than a dozen in London, and will be by appointment only. He opens on October 16 with a group show including Eva Rothschild, Mohammed Sami and Sanya Kantarovsky. Modern Art is not joining this year’s coinciding Paris+ par Art Basel fair as, Shave says, “I am really mindful about what we take on.”

The London gallerist Jonny Tanna, founder of Harlesden High Street, is behind what he is calling a “new non-fair”. Minor Attractions groups 20 galleries across two locations in Soho and London Bridge during Frieze week (October 10-15). Tanna says that the non-fair aspects include free entry and a more informal, socially focused event. “We’ll put up the works and have a party,” he says. Tanna compares the vibe to the recently founded, and well-received, Basel Social Club.

Tanna’s inspiration came from his own experience of the art world, which he joined after battling what he describes as “a gambling problem for 10 years”. Volunteering in galleries afterwards, he initially found “a lot of snootiness in a world that was hard to navigate” and set out “to do the opposite and erase elitism”.

Tanna is, however, delighted that Harlesden High Street has been accepted into the hallowed halls of this year’s Frieze London. Here, he will present a project that replicates the set of the US programme The Junior Christian Science Bible Lesson Show, a long-running community TV show that used puppets and songs to spread the word to children. It will have works by recent graduates Hamed Maiye and Mattia Guarnera-MacCarthy (under £10,000), as well as the artist — and the show’s puppeteer — David Liebe Hart. Tanna will also show in the London Bridge venue of Minor Attractions (called Cornershop), with the painter Savannah Marie Harris (£6,000-£12,000).

In a world saturated with logos, branding, and advertisements, is it possible to find comfort in commercial objects? By reconnecting with fragments of her childhood, ceramicist Stephanie Shih replicates domestic items from the ’80s and ’90s, portraying mundane goods with potent emotion. 

Molding each sculpture by hand, the Brooklyn-based artist uses stoneware clay to create hollow forms. She paints each with underglaze and adds a clear layer to some, achieving a finish similar to plastic or glass packaging. Extensive lettering appears in the form of logos, ingredients, nutrition facts, and even newspaper articles, all done freehand. 

The artist’s forthcoming solo exhibition, American Gothic, borrows its name from Grant Wood’s prominent Great Depression painting. Referencing an artwork identifiable with American culture, Shih directs viewers toward the dissonance between Asian immigrants and their children when generational identities become intertwined with consumer goods. Viewing her sculptures as “stuck in time,” she focuses on uplifting the evocative qualities of obsolete objects, in contrast to their fleeting existence in the real world.

Shih explains that while personal reflections are welcome, “the work isn’t exactly about nostalgia. Whereas nostalgia implies sentimentality and longing, for me, these objects gesture toward a sense of loss: lost time, lost usefulness, meanings lost in translation, lost selves.”

American Gothic opens at Harkawik Los Angeles on September 16. See more on Shih’s Instagram and website.
