LONDON.-
Reza Derakshani is a most worthy choice
for the second exhibition of Iranian art at Osborne Samuel Gallery. He
follows
our well received show in June 2009 which brought the works of Sadegh
Tirafkan,
Behrouz Rae and Morteza Darehbaghi to London for the first time.
The
gallery has always shown a great interest in art from those countries
where
there is a vibrant art scene that is perhaps under-represented in London
.
Osborne Samuel Gallery pioneered the showing of Indian
contemporary art
some years ago and are now embarking on an ambitious programme to show
the best
Iranian artists.

Hamburg, Germany - An exhibition with more than 250 original
photos, books and folders with studies from the nude, including masterpieces
from each period.The representation of the unclothed human body has exuded a
great fascination ever since time began. The exhibition Nude Visions invites
visitors to embark on a journey through a collection of depictions of the human
body spanning 150 years. More than 250 original photos, books and
folders with studies from the nude will be on view, including masterpieces from
each period: from photographs dating from the 19th century which seek their
models in Classical Antiquity and the Renaissance, up to Surrealistic
experiments and fashion and lifestyle photography. The exhibition illustrates
changing ideals of beauty and moral perceptions, and reveals once again the
constant attempt to balance between educational openness, titillation and
curiosity. On exhibition at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe through 25 April,
2010.

LONDON.- On Wednesday, June 2, 2010, Sotheby’s London will
offer for sale one of the finest figure paintings by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot
(1796-1875) ever to have appeared on the market. Estimated at
£800,000-1,200,000, "Jeune femme à la fontaine" enjoyed an exceptional early
provenance before it was requisitioned during the Nazi period. It has
now been restituted to the heirs of its erstwhile owners and will be one of the
centrepieces of Sotheby’s forthcoming sale of 19th Century Paintings. Jeune
femme à la fontaine’s journey through history provides a story that is as
compelling as those behind the restituted works by Gustav Klimt and Hendrick
Goltzius recently sold at Sotheby’s.

LONDON (REUTERS).- Art history has been less than
kind to Paul Sandby, an 18th century British painter whose name was eclipsed by
contemporaries like Thomas Gainsborough and Joshua Reynolds. But a new
exhibition of his work at the Royal Academy sets out to remind visitors of
Sandby's importance in promoting the status of the watercolor, recognizing the
power of print and taking on William Hogarth, whose works he dared to
parody. A founding member of the Royal Academy in 1768, Sandby was
regarded as "the father of English watercolor," and in focusing on landscapes
and scenes across England, Scotland and Wales rather than Italy, he left an
important record of social, economic and political change. "Paul Sandby:
Picturing Britain" runs from March 13-June 13 in the Sackler Wing.
