MIRAGES XVIII

c4781aca2beb5f50f883a2114def95e3November is one of the most busy months in art, is the second and the bridge between the new artistic season that starts in October with Art Fairs and Art Weeks not only in the two traditionally most important cities of Europe in the art world (London and Paris) and the following exhibitions, and December, the last month of the calendar year and the art review.

Gerhard’s Richter exhibition at the Dominique Levy Gallery in October and the two exhibitions of Christian Boltanski (one at Galerie Marian Goodman, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of her Gallery in Paris and another one following at Fondazione Merz), the solo exhibition of Mario Merz at the Cycladic Art Museum in Athens, curated by Paolo Colombo, organized by the non-profit organization NEON. Ιn 26/11, after the presentation of Tony’s Oursler new work, Bernier/Eliades Gallery presents a solo exhibition of the great Arte Povera artist. While Olafur Eliasson, always surprises us, in the most simple and effective way with different works such as those presented in Stockholm at the Moderna Musset, but also in the exhibition that follows on November 21 in Vienna.

The exhibition of Maria Loizidou in Kerameikos Αrchaeological site and Museum that connects parallel threads with the body, moves deeply the viewer, as well as the book ‘’Body of Art”, or the following tribute this month for the Women in Performing Art.  In Traces that refers to the life and the work of great artists, through the Spiral of Richard Serra, combined with Christian’s Boltanski work, our mind travels back in time at the 2001 Venice Biennale in Arsenalle, where the works of these artists coexisted… The artist that characterizes November is Jeff Koons, with his new work, exhibited at Gagosian Gallery New York.
