The Brooklyn Museum will be selling more works from its collection, including two paintings by Jean Dubuffet and others by Matisse, Monet, and Degas. Sotheby’s announced that it will be offering these works from the museum in its contemporary and Impressionist and modern sales on 28 October. The sale comes after the museum’s only painting by Cranach the Elder fetched $4.2m at auction this week. The Art Newspaper reports that Sotheby’s will announce the sale of more works from the Brooklyn Museum next month. The proceeds are to go towards setting up a fund to care from the collection.
Much of everyday life unfolds through patterns we rarely stop to notice — familiar roads, objects kept close, changing cityscapes and small gestures repeated until they become almost instinctive. These quiet rhythms take centre stage in Unseen Script, the latest group exhibition at Rizq Art Initiative on Reem Island, Abu Dhabi. Bringing together 10 artists from different backgrounds, the exhibition explores repetition, memory, nature and the ways people observe and interpret the world around them.
