Hovering Sculptures by Thomas Jackson
We immediately became transfixed with Thomas Jackson's work after seeing this particular hovering sculpture piece. As Jackson says of this body of work, he was inspired "by self-organizing, ‘emergent’ systems in nature such as termite mounds, swarming locusts, schooling fish and flocking birds."

On view for the first time since restoration, 'Mona Lisa' copy draws crowds at the Prado
MADRID.- Crowds are gathering at Madrid's Prado Museum to view a copy of the "Mona Lisa" for the first time since a restoration revealed it was almost certainly painted by one of Leonardo da Vinci's apprentices as he worked on the original. The painting was put on display at the museum on Tuesday, where it will stay until it moves to Paris' Louvre museum next month to hang alongside the original as part of an exhibition on da Vinci's work. Although the precise author of the copy has not been determined, both the Prado and Louvre believe it is probably the earliest known copy of "La Gioconda." The copy has been part of Spain's art collection for hundreds of years. It had previously been on display in the Prado

Fundacion Mapfre presents exhibitions of the work of Odilon Redon and Lewis Hine
MADRID.- Fundacion Mapfre has opened the Odilon Redon and Lewis Hine exhibitions, which can be visited at the Recoletos Rooms (Paseo de Recoletos 23, Madrid) until 29 April. The Odilon Redon (Bordeaux, 1840 - Paris, 1916) exhibition, produced in collaboration with the Musée D’Orsay in Paris, is the first major retrospective of this French artist’s oeuvre in Spain. The exhibition’s chronological trajectory begins with his early years as a lithographer under the guidance of Rodolphe Bresdin, and reaches the period of colour and his grand pieces, from what he called his noirs —in the atmosphere of the symbolists— to his mythological scenes and The Chariot of Apollo, an ode to light. This path of shade and light followed by the artist has no comparison in the history of art and is presented in this exhibition through a selection of 170 masterpieces from various institutions, which include oils, drawings, e

Edvard Munch's 'The Scream' to sell at Sotheby's in New York; may fetch $80 million
NEW YORK (AP).- One of four versions of Edvard Munch's masterpiece "The Scream" will be sold this spring in New York, Sotheby's auction house announced Tuesday. Sotheby's estimates that the work, which has become a modern icon of human anxiety, will sell for $80 million or more. The 1895 drawing of a man holding his head and screaming under a streaked, blood-red sky is being sold by Norwegian businessman Petter Olsen, whose father was a friend and patron of Munch's. It is the only version of "The Scream" still in private hands. "I have lived with this work all my life, and its power and energy have only increased with time," Olsen said. "Now, however, I feel the moment has come to offer the rest of the world a chance to own and appreciate this remarkable work, which is the only version of 'The Scream' not in the collection

Discovering painter Agnes Martin's artistic roots at the Harwood Museum of Art
TAOS (AP).- A Taos museum is about to open an exhibit by an abstract painter who was a quiet fixture of the local community but who was well-known in the art world for her seemingly simple and muted grid paintings. "Agnes Martin: Before the Grid" opens Feb. 25 at the Harwood Museum of Art in Taos. Martin, who died in 2004 at age 92, would have celebrated her 100th birthday in March. Each of her paintings is a unique exercise in perfect scale and proportion. The show at the Harwood is the first large posthumous exhibit of her work and the only one to highlight such an extensive collection of paintings and drawings that predate the grids that made her famous. It took a small team of curators about two years to unravel the mystery of her artistic beginnings. Playing detective,

Comprehensive retrospective of American artist George Condo's work opens at Schirn Kunsthalle
FRANKFURT.- Ironic, provocative, witty—since his beginnings in New York’s East Village in the early 1980s American artist George Condo has produced a distinctive body of work. His paintings, characterized by mordant humor, surrealist-tinged absurdity, and exuberant pathos, make repeated reference to the traditions of American and European art history of the last 500 years, from Velázquez by way of Picasso to Gorky. In partnership with the Hayward Gallery in London and curated by Hayward Director Ralph Rugoff, the Schirn presents a comprehensive retrospective of Condo’s art. Condo works in a style that can be described as artificial realism, and both his paintings and sculptures display his ongoing examination of human physiognomy and all-too-human mental states. Organized thematically and stylistically in groups, sixty-six important paintings from different creative periods, as well as a selection of roughly ten
