It was an entirely accurate description, but once I always found puzzling.

Operating out of a metropolis like Beijing or Shanghai presents unique opportunities—and challenges. Share Share This Article Last year, Christie’s, Sotheby’s, and Bonhams made bullish investments in Hong Kong, opening new headquarters even as demand for art in China flagged. This was in keeping with tradition. Business-friendly Hong Kong has long been the preferred base of operations for Western auction houses and galleries looking to serve the world’s second-biggest art market. Since operating in mainland China entails navigating greater cultural differences, potential censorship, and bureaucratic hurdles, Western firms have tended to engage t…

Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us," a diss track aimed at Drake, won the prestigious Grammy Award for Record of the Year at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards on February 2, 2025.

The win marked Lamar's first Record of the Year award, after three previous nominations, and added to his already impressive Grammy collection, bringing his total to 21 awards. The victory for "Not Like Us" was a significant moment for Lamar, who has becom…

Superstar artist George Condo opened not one but two exhibitions in New York this week. They are related, even though one is at Hauser and Wirth in SoHo and the other is at Sprüth Magers on the Upper East Side. Titled “George Condo: Pastels,” they feature 20 large works on paper between them, priced from $600,000 to $1.5 million. They are selling fast. Most are fictional portraits, in Condo’s signature Picassoid style, with features colliding in explosive ways. The artist mines female and male physiognomy, his own oeuvre, and art history. Each is a mood, a presence, a state of mind—and of course, a trophy. Made with pastel, acrylic, and metallic paint, some are more …

Based in Devon with two young children, Alexis Soul-Gray is forging a career on her own terms. Last week the 44-year-old artist opened her first solo exhibition with Bo Lee and Workman, a relatively new gallery in Bruton, Somerset, which picked up Soul-Gray after London’s Simon Lee gallery folded in 2023. The closure came at a crucial moment in the artist’s career. “It was heart-breaking. I was joining this great gallery and I’d taken on a bigger studio. But, just as I was due to have a big solo show, they went into administration,” Soul-Gray says. Fortunately, the artist was able to divert most of her paintings to another exhibition at her Los Angeles gallery, Bel A…

Despite otherwise growing up surrounded by love, Queen of the Universe season 1 champion and Drag Race Brasil host Grag Queen went through conversion therapy during her youth. “It started mostly at school, when my mom got asked if she would decide whether I was a boy or a girl,” recalls the multi-talented artist. “That was the first time she brought a pastor in, who claimed that there was a devil in me. Something like that can be very damaging for a young kid.” For Grag, a process that started with fasting and being forced to date girls quickly evolved into much more sinister tactics, such as listening to the testimonies of people who claimed they no longer identified as …
