Maria Pergay (1930-2023)

A modernist creation from a private collection exemplifies Maria Pergay’s work with metal.

This remarkably diverse sale featured ancient coins, 20th-century bronzes and ceramics, together with sophisticated designer pieces.

Coming directly from her family, a dozen paintings by Maria Wiik provide a chance to rediscover this artist, little known in France but famous in her own country, mainly for introducing modern movements there.

Turquin's latest discovery is a red-letter event: there are very few of these ambitious compositions with extremely sophisticated messages by the 17th century Dutch painter.

Spanish artist Maria Blanchard was one of the few Cubist women painters. Two works typical of her output, featuring young girls, are up for auction in Normandy.

A rare work by a woman painter met with huge success in Troyes, France: a just reward for this Dutch still life virtuoso, adulated both then and now.

The culmination of her formal explorations since the 1930s, this painting by Helena Vieira da Silva also reflects a new approach to space in her twilight years.

After 8 years directing the Dansk Møbelkunst Gallery and 10 years running her own gallery in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district of Paris, Maria Wettergren is opening a new branch on rue Vieille-du-Temple. Nouvelle Vague inaugurates the space with key Scandinavian design from the last 20 years, in particular by women.

La Masone—a neoclassical-style building standing in a star-shaped bamboo maze not far from Parma, Italy—is both a museum and the work of an outstanding publisher, bibliophile and collector: Franco Maria Ricci.

The 58-year-old Bavarian-born artist was selected by the director of the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, Yilmaz Dziewior, curator of the German Pavilion at the Biennale of Contemporary Art schedule for 2022. There she will show her work which examines political, social, and economic systems.
