News - Behind the Ullens sale at Sotheby's

The Art Newspaper is running a very interesting interview with Chinese collector Guy Ullens stating that his dream of running a Chinese art museum is over and that he's looking to hand over the management of his UCCA gallery in Beijing to “long-term partners” and divest himself of the institution. He indicated that the Apr 3 sale at Sotheby's Hong Kong will just be the first of many. Once he has done this, he says he intends to spend more time on his charitable education work in Nepal and return to collecting young artists, with his focus now on Indian rather than Chinese artists.

Jung Woo Sung Inspired by Alain Delon

South Korean actor Jung Woo Sung says he was primarily inspired by Alain Delon ’s performance in “The Samurai,” a 1967 film by Jean-Pierre Melville, when preparing for his first role as a villain in the recently released South Korean movie “Cold Eyes.” Jung plays James, the cold-hearted leader of an armed criminal organization, while Delon was a hired assassin in “The Samurai.”

Opening – Yoko Furusho @ Gallery by the Harbour in HK

”From my world to yours” is a new exhibition by Japanese born, NY based artist and illustrator Yoko Furusho. This young artist has already had a few shows and I love the details and fantasy of her ink and acrylic. Inspired by Alice in the Wonderland, one of her favourite stories, she composes her own wonderland, re-interpreting the classic story with a distinctive style. There is all sort of merchandising which lend themselves well to this type of art-cum-illustration, from a T-shirt to a tote bag - perfect little gifts for art lovers.

Wright of Derby: The Artist Who Brought Candlelight into the Age of Enlightenment

A Philosopher Giving That Lecture on the Orrery in Which a Lamp Is Put in Place Joseph Wright of Derby, 1764-1766 Wright of Derby: From the Shadows, a new exhibition at the National Gallery in London, casts a warm glow on one of Britain's most distinctive 18th-century painters—an artist who took the dramatic chiaroscuro of Caravaggio and turned it toward the modern world. Joseph Wright of Derby (1734–1797) may not enjoy the name recognition of the Old Masters he admired, yet his vision was no less daring. While Caravaggio, Rembrandt, and Gerrit van Honthorst used tenebrism for biblical scenes and historical narratives, Wright pointed those same dramatic contrasts of light and darkness at the contemporary world—science lectures, blacksmiths' forges, and moments of intellectual discovery. The small but carefully curated show focuses on Wright's "candlelight" paintings from 1765 to 1773—the period when he was a young artist trying to make his name in London's com...

Highlights of the upcoming sale are WuGuanzhong’s “Willow Tree,” an ink and color on rice paper which displays the Chinese artist’s gentle fusion of Eastern and Western impressionistic styles, and “Horse and the Sun,” a strong oil on canvas work by Indonesian expressionist master Affandi, known for his technique of painting directly from the tube. Other Indonesian highlights include dancer-themed works by SrihadiSoedarsono as well as large canvases by Basoeki Abdullah and JeihanSukmantoro. Leading the Singapore sect...
