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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral boasts a stunning historiated pavement whose earliest parts date back to the 14th century. It is particularly fragile and visible only briefly on rare occasions.

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.
