In Paris, Sarti gallery has just unveiled a show of 22 paintings in the Caravaggesque tradition, which it has been patiently accumulating over the past 10 years. “While we are principally known for gold ground paintings,” says Giovanni Sarti, “we wanted to show that our interests extend beyond that, into the 17th century and beyond.” While Caravaggio himself did not have students nor did he found a school, his influence was immense, and the exhibition includes works by his closest followers – Bartolomeo Manfredi, Giovanni Battista Caracciolo, Bartolomeo Cavarozzi – to more distant admirers such as Giuseppe Ribera, Luca Giordano, Artemisia Gentileschi, Bernardo Strozzi, Daniele Crespi and Guido Reni. Prices range from 250,000 to 2.2m; the show runs until July 12.
在巴黎,萨尔蒂画廊(Sarti gallery)刚刚展出了传统卡拉瓦乔风格(Caravaggesque)的22幅画作,它们是过去10年时间里持之以恒收藏的结果。“我们画廊以收藏金地画而著称于世,”画廊老板吉奥瓦尼•萨尔蒂(Giovanni Sarti)说,“我们想展示自己的关注焦点并不止于此,希望延伸至17世纪甚至更晚期的作品。”尽管卡拉瓦乔本人没有任何弟子,也未创立任何画派,但他的影响深远,此次展览包括了他最亲密的追随者以及一般拥趸的作品。最亲密的追随者包括了巴托洛米奥•曼弗雷迪(Bartolomeo Manfredi)、乔瓦尼•巴蒂斯塔•卡拉乔洛(Giovanni Battista Caracciolo)、巴托洛米奥•卡拉罗齐(Bartolomeo Cavarozzi)等著名画家,而一般拥趸也包括了里贝拉(Giuseppe Ribera)、卢卡•焦尔达诺(Luca Giordano)、阿特米西亚•简提列斯基(Artemisia Gentileschi)、贝尔纳多•斯特罗齐(Bernardo Strozzi)、丹尼尔•克雷斯波(Daniele Crespi)及圭多•雷尼(Guido Reni)等画家。他们作品的成交价从25万美元至220万美元不等,本次展览的截止日期为6月22日。
London galleries are expanding and moving: Victoria Miro is returning to the West End, taking on an extra space in St George’s Street, right behind Sotheby’s. The gallery said that it was “waiting to tie up things” before making an announcement. Stuart Shave has left his Eastcastle Street premises for 6 Fitzroy Square, and is opening a second space in Clerkenwell at the end of the year. And Sadie Coles is leaving her New Burlington Place gallery for a bigger space in Kingly Street, just on the other side of Regent Street. “We have been looking for over a year. We’re delighted with the quite grand building we found, which gives us much more space,” says Coles. The gallery will hold a couple of “guerrilla” soft openings in August, before launching in September with a show by the US artist Ryan Sullivan.
伦敦画廊也不断扩张、忙于变换展场:维多利亚•米罗画廊(Victoria Miro)重回伦敦西区(West End),在苏富比拍卖行正后面的圣乔治街(St George’s Street)上另外开设了展场。米罗画廊说“把一切事情安排妥当后”方会正式公布开张消息。Stuart Shave画廊已从东堡街(Eastcastle Street)旧址搬至菲茨罗伊广场6号(6 Fitzroy Square),并计划于年底在克勒肯维尔(Clerkenwell)开设第二个展场。萨迪•科尔斯(Sadie Coles)则正搬离自己位于新伯林顿广场(New Burlington Place)的画廊,转而在摄政王街(Regent Street)另一边的金利街(Kingly Street)寻找更大的展场。“我们已经淘了一年多时间,能找到这么宏伟的大楼,我们感到非常高兴,因为它能提供面积更大的展场,”科尔斯说。她的画廊还将在八月份举办几场非正式的试营业展览,然后在九月份举办美国画家瑞恩•沙利文(Ryan Sullivan)的作品专场展。
