The Los Angeles County Museum of Art presents Chagall: Fantasies for the Stage, the first U.S. exhibition to spotlight the principal role that music and dance played in Marc Chagall’s artistic career.

The vision and legacy of photographer Clarence H. White (1871–1925), a leader in the early twentieth-century effort to position photography as an art, will be the focus of a major traveling exhibition organized by the Princeton University Art Museum. The first retrospective devoted to the photographer in over a generation, Clarence H. White and His World: The Art and Craft of Photography, 1895–1925 will survey White’s career from his beginnings in 1895 in Ohio to his death in Mexico in 1925.

Lempertz newest auction format lempertz:projects, developed and organised by Isabel Apiarius-Hanstein, represents a successful new concept that has greatly enhanced this year’s contemporary art offer, with the sale’s estimates doubling by value.

The auction exclusively featured contemporary art from two corporate collections. It attracted a particularly young audience, whose presence was felt both in the tightly packed saleroom and in numerous international online bids.
