Daily art news


LOS ANGELES, CA.- Artist and Oscar and Grammy Award-winning songwriter Carole Bayer Sager debuted her new collection of lyrical, abstract paintings at her first ever solo show. Hosted at the LA Art House, Generations: New Paintings by Carole Bayer Sager marks the artist’s return to her original love of abstract work in an exploration of color, texture and light.

“Painting and songwriting have many similarities for me,” says Sager. “Both are intuitive and expressive and, just as in songwriting, it is rewarding when your painting touches another person.”





PARIS.- For the first time in its history, ArtParis is acting on the urban public scene with Move For Life, a mobile art intervention against poverty, aids, violence, racism and environmental destruction by Littmann Kulturprojekte (Basel).

The aim of Move For Life is to create a dialogue between art and the public through major societal issues… using lorries! These utility vehicles become giant billboards showing the works of artists throughout Europe in places where we least expect them, on more than 250,000 kilometres of roads.

MEXICO CITY.- Hundreds of images of Prehispanic monuments and sites, created during the Colonial period and located in diverse archives, most of them outside Mexico, are being studied by archaeologist Leonardo Lopez Lujan, and have became helpful documentary sources for the location of Mesoamerican sculptures and ceremonial sites. Although technological devises make archaeological research easier, the researcher from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) has been conducting for 6 years this historiographic study of archaeology, deepening in the knowledge of Prehispanic cultures and locating ceremonial sites, cities, buildings and sculptures.
