Art Market
The new international photography fair in London, a new gallery in Toronto and the Frieze show in New York.
Rachel Whiteread
Sculptor Rachel Whiteread is a regular at London restaurant St John, an establishment that has been a favourite with artists for nearly 20 years.
Media & Art market
The world of mags, print and photography, plus a visit to an Istanbul gallery and the Phillips spring auction in New York.
Petit prints
In an age of email, the postcard is threatened but not in the museum world, where it remains big business. Monocle meets the teams behind some of the world’s mini masterpieces.
Finishing touches
After a 10-year overhaul, the Rijksmuseum is ready to reopen. Its interior revamp is almost as impressive as the wealth of art it so beautifully displays, revealing a new vision for the institution.
Klaus Biesenbach
Renowned curator Klaus Biesenbach used to live on chocolate bars; thankfully he has something more refined in mind for his ‘last meal’.
The outsiders
Munich is setting a new focus on public art for 2013. The Bavarian city has invited renowned artist duo Elmgreen + Dragset to playfully carry out a most serious, city-wide artistic mission.
Harmony restored
Built in the 1930s as a Third-Reich propaganda machine, Munich’s Haus der Kunst has since evolved to become one of Germany’s most prestigious and global-minded contemporary-art venues.
Printed perfection
Germany produces some of the finest art books in the world, from picture-laden coffee table tomes to aesthetic theory. Monocle went to Berlin to pore over a buoyant and diverse publishing industry.
