What is it with Big Art? What is so compelling and exciting about seeing an idea wrought in an over-sized image? Sean Scully Cy Twonbly Robert Motherwell I mean, Sean Scully does STRIPES. Lots of stripes. BIG stripes. They are gorgeous. How much of the impact of those images has to do with scale? Ditto Cy Twombly's vast canvases of scribbles and marks? Why is it so exciting to see Motherwell painting with a long brush from a standing position? Just my thought for the day. I welcome your comments an insights.

Kanaal represents the philosophy that Axel Vervoordt began to develop in the late 1960s and it is an important milestone in his life.

artnet News' dauntless columnist Kenny Schachter ventured to the London auctions to sift for clues among the remainder bins.
Robert Sherrill past is prologue
Nicola Samorì’s paintings and sculptures recreate the elegance of the Baroque and then physically deconstruct it, baring the layers that lie below. The artist’s process is a highly technical one, based on the techniques of the Old Masters, and then scraping, slashing, or tearing for something wholly contemporary.

If you follow the international real estate pages of the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal, you are likely familiar with Château de Castille. Located near Uzès in southern France, the 18th-century château with a 13th-century foundation was put up for sale in late 2015. Still on the market (or so it seems), the château has a rich history, especially during the mid-twentieth century, when art collector and historian Douglas Cooper owned and inhabited the residence. (Cooper's then partner, art historian and Picasso expert, John Richardson, lived there for a stint during Cooper's ownership.) A friend and patron of Pablo Picasso, Cooper engaged the artist, who supposedly coveted the house, to create a series of sandblasted murals, which appear on the walls of the château's loggia. Now officially protected as historic monuments , the frescoes are touted as the château's most famous feature, not to mention its greatest selling point. But as enticing as the murals are, it's the château's interiors that compel me more. Decorated by the under-the-radar American designer, Dick Dumas, the house's interiors are an enticing blend of traditional French fabrics (such as Le Manach's Pommes de Pin, the pinecone print seen in the blue bedroom below) and modern-looking prints, installed alongside antique furnishings and modern artwork. Despite a few tell-tale signs that Dumas likely decorated the château decades ago (namely, the prominent ceiling spot lights), little about these interiors seem dated to me. Since Cooper's tenure as owner, the château has belonged to a French family, whose heirs made the decision to sell. After seeing these French AD photos of Château de Castille, I can only hope that a buyer sensitive to the château's unique qualities will purchase it.
