.- The exhibition Ladies First! is the first time that the Neue Galerie Graz has taken a closer look exclusively at the art production of women in Styria. At the heart of the show lie the works and life-stories of some 60 well-known and a few lesser-known women artists from the period 1850 to 1950.

However, one way to get something of the skiing hit in the New Year is to peruse The Ski Sale to be held by international auctioneers Lyon & Turnbull on January 20. The sale features a fine selection of original lithographed posters focused on winter sports and travel curated by former Christies vintage poster specialists Nicolette Tomkinson and Sophie Churcher. The pair first teamed up with Lyon & Turnbull to launch dedicated poster sales in 2018.

Pointing to freshly painted canvases drying in the sun, he explained, These are all self-portraits. These paintings have history, action - scars and blemishes, scratches and imperfections. These are me. S
