#BreakingNews – Shanna Hennig, Winston’s Southwest Director, was recently featured in The New York Times! Highlighting how climate change puts works of art at risk now more than ever, the article explained what collectors need to do to protect their assets with the possibility of natural disaster looming. @happy_shanna spoke about the importance of confidentiality and why you need to have your collection catalogued and appraised BEFORE disaster strikes. Thanks, @nytimes! Check out the article online to read more. . . .

“Given the crises of race relations, political propaganda and image manipulation in the current American landscape, Colescott’s career has never been more relevant,” says Lowery Stokes Sims, an independent curator and scholar working with the Contemporary Arts Center in Cicinnati for Robert Colescott’s first comprehensive retrospective “Art and Race Matters.” “His perspectives on race, life, social mores, historical heritage and cultural hybridity allow us to forthrightly confront what the state of global culture will be in the immediate future.”
.
.
.
Colescott is best known for his satirically poignant depictions of stereotypes in America. His images are vibrant and energetic, but contrasted by a painful subject matter. Colescott deals with the historically poor treatment of African Americans. Colescott captured the social-economic landscape during the height of his career (which began in the 1960s and ran until his death in 2009). The retrospective speaks volumes not only to the past, but to similar issues in contemporary society.
.
.
.
The show won the CAC a Sotheby’s Prize in 2018 for curatorial excellence and “putting together an exhibition that will break new ground and challenge our understanding of art today.” The exhibition will travel from @cincycac to other institutions within a matter of months. If you’re ever around Cincinnati, it is definitely a must see!.

Have you ever wondered how relationships among artists might influence their work? The #mustsee show at Mnuchin Gallery, “The Art of Marriage,” explores this very idea. The exhibition showcases works by Helen Frankenthaler and Robert Motherwell, who were married from 1958 to 1971. Running in similar social and aesthetic circles, it is believed the pair knew of and admired each other’s work before officially meeting. The couple shared a whirlwind romance, and married the year after beginning their relationship. They first worked side by side in a hotel room while on their honeymoon.
. .

Both highly regarded artists, the painters had very different approaches to making work, but shared core beliefs (such as a painter’s role is to reveal the unseen, and that choice of color conveys the emotions behind the work). While still on separate paths, during their marriage similar commonalities began to appear in their paintings. The show includes paintings made during and after their marriage, which echoes the influences they had on each other and the uniqueness of the works.
. .

Don’t miss this exciting show @mnuchin_gallery, which will run until December 14.

Thoughts on #SoftSculpture, anyone? Alexis E. Mabry’s awesome fabric-based works explore identity stereotypes, pulling both from personal experience and imagined identities. The artist, who happens to be a female BMX rider from Dallas, TX, works across many mediums (but these days, primarily in fabric) to explore feminine roles in male dominated activities and worlds. Through her choice of material and technique (painting, sewing and craft), she echoes a “DIY” approach to forming identity.
@a.e.mabry is in a group show, “Routine Malfunction,” at @1969gallery opening tonight from 6-8 PM. If you’re in New York, stop by to see Mabry and other great artists’ works!

#WhereInTheWorldIsWinston? In beautiful Paris, France! .
.

A recent Artnet article reported that international galleries are making a move to Paris as it is “quickly becoming the most important city in Europe for art trade.” The Louvre’s highly anticipated Leonardo da Vinci Exhibition is the perfect backdrop for all of the art-related activity going on. The exhibit marks the 500th anniversary of the renowned artist’s death and brings together his most famous and controversial pieces, showing the evolution and breadth of his talents. Like many patrons, Winston’s Managing Director, Elizabeth von Habsburg, was awed by the beauty and elegance of the blockbuster show. Swipe to see pictures of the Vitruvian Man (reportedly insured for $1 billion the exhibition) and the venue! Keep your eyes peeled on this monumental retrospective, as we may even see a certain $450.3 million portrait find its way into the exhibition!
