LONDON Christie's auction Nov. 28, 2007; A private Russian bidder purchases a rare enamel-and-gold Faberge egg that had been in the Rothschild banking family for more than a century sold for record-setting $18.5 million. The sale of the translucent pink egg topped with a diamond-studded cockerel was a record for a Faberge work of art. Russian Czar Alexander III commissioned the first of the elaborate eggs from craftsman Peter Carl Faberge as an Easter gift for his wife, Empress Maria Fedorovna. The empress was so enamored of that 1885 piece — an enameled egg with a gold yolk, gold hen, miniature diamond crown and ruby egg inside — that the czar commissioned a new egg every Easter. After the czar died in 1894, his son Nicholas continued the tradition until the Russian Revolution in 1917. Nicholas and his family were executed in 1918. Faberge created more than 50 eggs for Russia's imperial family, though not all survive. The Rothschild Faberge Egg is one of no more than 12 such pieces known to have been made to imperial standards for private clients, Christie's said.
The piece was sold to a private Russian bidder after 10 minutes of bidding

Tadaomi Shibuya solo exhibition construct from 2007-09-13 to 2007-10-08 in Tokyo
Shibuya reconstructs various motifs, such as human face, animals, industrial products and etc. with unique surfaces. First it gives a viewer sharp and flat impression but they realize that it offers more, a deep texture with brush mark and uneven painted field. Shibuya’s parents run a sign making business and he grew up with many craftsman. He loved to draw many robots and mechanical heroes when he was a kid. Shibuya majored product design in art college but he was looking for creative connection between 2-D expression and music under his interest to hip-hop. He was also strongly influenced by other kind of music, such as dub, breakbeat, electronica, drum'n bass and so on, to establish his own expression. Shibuya is highly evaluated in England and internationally. This is Shibuya’s first solo exhibition in Japan.

Barry McGee at The Watari Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo
Barry McGee's name became known throughout the art world after his exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1998 and the 2001 Venice Biennale. Rumors of a graffiti artist named TWIST who had great drawing skills spread at once, from graffiti artists in the U.S. to curators around the world, but one cannot simply think of him as the “reincarnation of Keith Harring.” Barry's works are complex, embodying confronting identities. For example, he has Asian genes and a mother of Chinese descent who was born and raised in San Francisco. His works are modernist in that he constantly imports new circumstances into them, but they are also nostalgic and express adoration for the 80s. His works exhibit the fragile delicacy of art and the gruff daringness of street culture at the same time. Viewing his works, the tension is overwhelming such that we might fall off the edge if we are not cautious. However, if we switch off our regulatory instincts, the tension turns into emotional excitement and eventually a sense of freedom.
バリー・マッギーの名は、1998年のサンフランシスコ近代美術館、2001年のベニス・ビエンナーレによってアート界にあっという間に知られるよ うになった。そう、西海岸で「ツイスト」というやたらに絵がうまいグラフィティ・アーティストがいるという噂は、アメリカ中のグラフィティ達から、世界中 のキュレイターにまで一気に広がった。しかし、バリー・マッギーを“80年代のキース・ヘリングの再来”と、短絡的に言うことは出来ない。 バリーの作品は、対峙する二つの顔を併せもった複雑さがある。中国系の母親を持つアジア的なDNAと生まれ育ったサン・フランシスコでの体験。常に 新しい状況を作品に取り入れる現代性と80年代への憧憬というノスタルジー。アートのフラジャイルな繊細さとストリートカルチャーの大胆さと荒々しさ。バ リーの作品を見ていると、気を抜くとエッジから足を踏み外してしまいそうな緊張感に襲われる。今度は、規制概念やモラルのスイッチを切り作品の中を回遊す る。緊張感や胸の高まりに変わり始め、自由の庭園にいることに気付く。

Tokuo Noguchi , At Pola Museum Annex, Tokyo
Paper is an inseparable part of our daily lives, allowing us to have newspapers, magazines and fliers. If you want to print out the transcripts of the meeting you just held, you need paper. Business cards and notebooks all could not exist without paper. In this exhibition, viewers who would ordinarily take paper for granted will be able to appreciate it completely reshaped as works of art. Tokuo Noguchi's "paper" artworks look like fossils, as though they were made of paper created 2000 years ago, and yet they contain a sense of transience and one becomes aware that one day they will disintegrate into nothing. By taking paper as his material of choice and making the most of the expressive qualities it has that no other material does, Noguchi gives viewers the chance to see the full potential of paper. In addition, some of Noguchi's photographic works, which reveal another way in which he looks at the world, will also be on display. [Image: "Dragon#1" 86x61cm (2001)]

his exhibition marks Araki's 11th exhibition with the Taka Ishii gallery and will consist of a series of new color and B&W photographic works.When Araki says "All women are beautiful," it is not a metaphor. In fact, he took many photographs of the aura of dying flowers and married middle-aged women. Araki's emotions towards the subject lie etched in all of these photographs. However, he does not just stay in love with the subject. As he says, "I took many censorable photographs that I cannot include in publications. But I think the crazier, the better." He expresses his rebellious spirit as an artist.This exhibition, which is being held on the occasion of the artist's 67th birthday, consists of 100 photographs including older unexhibited works as well as Araki's newest photographs.

Takashi Murakami "Polyrhythm" at Takashi Collection, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo From 2007-05-12 To 2007-06-23 In the early 1990s, Takashi Murakami, nowadays known for his character paintings, was creating series of works with Tamiya's soldier figures painted white on bare FRP. Tamiya is a plastic model company characterized by the slogan "First in Quality around the World" and features a logo of a white star on a red and blue background - colors that can be seen as symbolic of the US. Murakami, who grew up seeing America's dominance of Japan, paints those figurines white and applies yellowy plain FRP as a metaphor for the core of the Japanese society. He places those sculptures on wheels instead of pedestals to avoid the conventional presentation of fine arts - an indication of how his creative energy is generated from setting up unsettling realms. His series of earlier sculptures "Polyrhythm" which symbolizes his conceptual method of combining various ideas into one, is also on display at the gallery. 近年のキャラクターペインティングからは想像もつかないが、90年代初頭の村上隆の作品と言えば、むき出しのFRPに白塗りされたタミヤの兵隊がト レードマークだった。ディスプレイ工房の手伝い??'していた村上はその経験から、日本の芯のメタファーというコンセプチュアルな対象物としてFRP??'選んだ のである。一方、FIRST IN QUALITY AROUND THE WORLDと、高々と謳いながら、アメリカ??'象徴するかのような赤/??'地の白い星??'掲??'るタミヤのトレードマークに、アメリカの下でしか存在し得ない日本 ??'見た村上は、その浄化??'目論むかの如く、白く塗りつぶされた兵隊??'素材として用いた。さらに村上は彫刻の重要な要素である台座??'否定し、不安定性??'エネ ルギーとすべく作品の足元にキャスター(滑車)??'使用し、美術内美術としての理論武装??'謀った。コンセプトのダブルバインド、トリプルバインド??'象徴する 「ポリリズム」と題されたこのシリーズが展示されます。

Le Corbusier Art and Architecture - A Life of Creativity 26 May - 24 September, 2007 Mori Art Museum, TOKYO
Architectural giant, the founder of modernism, the greatest architect of the 20th Century - just some of the accolades that have been attached to Swiss born Frenchman Le Corbusier (1887-1965). Perhaps less well known is that he was also an artist, creating a vast number of paintings and sculptures. “Le Corbusier: Art and Architecture - A Life of Creativity” examines Le Corbusier the man, revealing the individual behind the facade in a comprehensive presentation of about 250 paintings, furniture and architectural artifacts.
The show starts with a full-size, walk-in model of the Paris atelier where he devoted his mornings to painting and sculpture. (Throughout his life he only did architecture in the afternoons.) The atelier forms the entry-point to his world and we can see how drawing and painting were both a source of inspiration and a solace.
Le Corbusier's architecture is of course known and loved worldwide - a constant point of reference and discussion, and never far from the minds of even contemporary architects. Here Le Corbusier's major architectural and urban planning works are exhibited in drawings, models, photographs, and videos, in accordance with the principles that guided them. There are also a number of full - scale reproductions of architectural spaces - large enough for visitors to walk inside - which provide a rare chance to experience Le Corbusier's creations firsthand, and view his furniture, paintings and sculptures in their original context. The two biggest attractions are a full-size reproduction of a two-story apartment from his “Unité d'Habitation” in Marseilles, and a reproduction of “le Petite Cabanon,” a small wooden hut he built for himself at Cap Martin in the south of France.
2007 is the 120th Anniversary of Le Corbusier's birth. Last year saw the completion of his final project, St. Pierre Church, Firminy, France and there are calls from France and elsewhere to have his works included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is a pertinent time to review Le Corbusier's oeuvre, and examine again his characteristically humanistic style of modernism, which only truly comes into focus through such a comprehensive examination of both his architecture and art.

National Gallery This special Sainsbury Wing installation offers a unique opportunity to re-examine the outstanding scope of the National Gallery's collection of late 19th- and 20th-century paintings. From the Impressionist masterpieces of Monet and Renoir, to iconic paintings by Van Gogh and Cézanne, this display includes familiar favourites alongside important loans. New juxtapositions challenge audiences to reconsider well-known works, at the same time as exploring the relationships between major movements. The six rooms of the display are organised chronologically, allowing visitors to trace the dramatic changes that occurred during some of the most exciting years of artistic development. Featuring painters as diverse as Manet and Picasso, from a number of different European countries, this presentation emphasises the importance of the period and celebrates its continued relevance to contemporary audiences. Earlier 19th-century paintings are displayed on the ground level of the Wilkins Building. The opening of the installation is accompanied by a new National Gallery publication, 'Manet to Picasso', that focuses upon the highlights of this new hang.

Palazzo Strozzi Cézanne in Florence is a love story. The story of two young men who fell in love with the works of a solitary genius, Paul Cézanne. At the end of the 19th century in Paris Egisto Paolo Fabbri and Charles Alexander Loeser came across the works by Paul Cézanne, an artist almost at the end of his life, but still disregarded by the other artists, critics and the public.
In 1896 Fabbri and Loeser bought three paintings by Cézanne each from Ambrosie Vollard, the only art-dealer who believed in the French painter, and since then, in a short time, through their choice, they resolutely backed the artist. Once back in Florence Fabbri and Loeser did not see each other, but they jealously kept their Cézannes, showing their collections only to those who, in their opinion, could appreciate them. Cézanne’s admirers were few but enthusiastic, and those who understood the greatness and the incredible innovative power of his paintings, set out on long journeys in order to admire them.
Fabbri worshipped the master from Aix-en-Provence with total and absolute devotion, and he was one of his main collectors in the world; also Loeser was foresighted in his choices as regards art - including ancient art - according to a precise philosophy: “ I have always been fond of the ‘undesirables’. Only in this way can one attempt to gather a collection.”.
The unique peculiarity of the exhibition Cézanne in Florence lies in having gathered together for the first time the most noteworthy works of the Fabbri’s and Loeser’s collections that, before being scattered in the years between the two world wars, were the most important in the world. Totally contrary to the aesthetic tastes of the time, and even to the surprise of the artist himself, Fabbri actually came to own 32 paintings by Cézanne while Loeser 15. These collections contributed to making Cézanne appreciated by the international community and encouraged the artistic milieu of Florence towards avant-garde trends.
The exhibition is housed on the piano nobile of Palazzo Strozzi. The curators of the exhibition are Francesca Bardazzi, a well-known scholar of Cézanne collections in Italy, and Carlo Sisi, the former director of the Gallery of Modern Art at Palazzo Pitti and one of the utmost experts on that period.

Modigliani and Hébuterne TOKYO Bunkamura Museum (until 7 Mai)Amedeo Modigliani, one of the representative artists of the School of Paris, met a talented art student, Jeanne Hébuterne, when he was 32 and she 18. They started living together, but his health worsened rapidly, until he died young at the age of 35. Two days after his death, Hébuterne, pregnant with their second child, threw herself out of a window in her parents’ apartment, putting an untimely end to a love affair that had lasted for not quite three years. The central part of this exhibition is the collection of paintings that Hébuterne’s family kept from the public for many decades. Besides oils, aquarelles and drawings by both Modigliani and Hébuterne, it also features a collection of photographs and letters, which will allow you to follow their relationship from the first blossoming of their love to its tragic conclusion.

Helmut Newton Photographs March 7 - April 27, 2007 Cook Fine Art 1063 Madison Ave. New York, New York 10028 USA
Newton reached his pinnacle of success in the 1980s with his “Big Nudes” series. His photographs are overtly sexual and highly stylized. Those individuals he depicts, whether models or celebrities, behave comfortably with their bodies in a way that reads as both subtly perverse and defiantly confident. Cook Fine Art will present a selection of some of Newton’s most recognizable images including “Big Nude, Racquel” the 54 x 135 in. triptych, “Walking Woman of 1981.

MiArt 2007 the twelfth edition of Milan’s International Modern and Contemporary Art Fair won’t fail to surprise with its new features and projects. This unique event turns Milan into a prestigious showcase for art and a point of reference for collectors, gallery operators, artists and curators. Like last year, MiArt will take place in the Portello pavilions of fieramilanocity between 30 March and 2 April, with the invitation-only inauguration scheduled for Thursday, 29 March. MiArt is reasserting its role as the only trade show in Italy able to offer a complete panorama of the art world through its four separate sections that encompass modern art to the most innovative voices of contemporary art. Together, the four sections, Modern, Contemporary, Art & Co and Anteprima take in Italian and international art from the historic avant-garde to the most recent experimental works, attracting collectors with different interests and backgrounds. Following on from the incredible success of the Guest Nation project, launched at the last show with China, in 2007 our guest will be the Netherlands, a country that’s closer to Italy geographically but unique in the West for its effervescent art scene. A busy program of conferences and roundtable sessions will breathe life into the exhibition, offering an opportunity for interaction and exchange with the foremost Italian and international critics and curators. Overflowing with exciting features, MiArt 2007 is a benchmark and a meeting point for the art world. And this year’s fair will see the participation of more internationally respected gallery operators, critics and collectors than ever before, as well as the directors of prestigious museums, including Maria de Corral and Vicente Todolì. An increasingly international program of events further confirmed by the participation of the Basel-based Foundation Beyeler. This will be the first time that the foundation has taken part in a trade show outside Switzerland. And it’s doing it with an event that will trigger enormous interest and excitement, further honing the international edge of MiArt 2007.

A new Japanese national art institution, the National Art Center, will open in the fashionable Roppongi district in Tokyo in January.
Designed by leading architect Kisho Kurokawa, the art centre consists of a curved glass facade and the largest gallery space (14,000 sq. m) in Japan. The state-funded ¥36.5 billion ($313m) art centre does not have a collection and there are no galleries for permanent displays. The centre will instead be used to display annual exhibitions organised by Japan’s numerous traditional art associations and to host visiting blockbuster shows.
One of the inaugural exhibition, for example, is a selection of art from the Centre Pompidou in Paris titled 'Paris du monde entier : Artistes etrangers a Paris 1900-2005' (from 7th February) with 200 works by Picasso, Modigliani, Chagall and Man Ray on view in 2,000 sq. m of exhibition space.

The Art Fair Tokyo 2007 will be held from April 10th to April 12th, 2007, following the success of the first Art Fair Tokyo last August.
Ranging from cutting-edge contemporary works, modern painting, and uniquely-Japanese art such as nihonga and ukiyoe, to antique art and other traditional art forms, Art Fair Tokyo transcends genres to bring the most exquisite art to connoisseurs who demand true quality. It is Japan's largest art fair, showcasing about one hundred galleries that have passed a rigorous selection process.
In today's Japan, people have become aware of the importance of spiritual richness that cannot be obtained through material affluence. Art is the keyword in our search for new lifestyles, and it is art that can provide the value we seek. In keeping with Tokyo's role as a global cultural leader, Art Fair Tokyo aims to enrich lives by conveying the wonder of art to a wide range of people from experts, collectors, and art lovers, to newcomers who buy their first work of art.
In association with the fair, there will be a series of talks and satellite programs by invited guests from a variety of fields who give presentations on such themes as how to enjoy, buy, and start collecting art.
