New York City I (1941) — an abstract work composed of vertical and horizontal lines in red, yellow and blue—has been displayed with its five most densely spaced lines at the bottom of the picture since 1945. However, the work is orientated the other way in a photograph taken in Mondrian’s studio shortly after his death in 1944, showing the closely spaced lines at the top.

The award will apparently be conferred to an empty chair as the artist — whose identity is secret — will not be attending the University for the Creative Arts ceremony

The British street artist Banksy will become an honorary professor at the University for the Creative Arts (UCA), an art school with campuses in the southeast of England. But students hoping to attend lectures on stencilling or sit in on seminars about political activism will be disappointed as the title is purely symbolic.

Berlin-based artist Lee Wagstaff creates abstract paintings with a secret. While at first glance you may be immersed in the myriad of complex patterns that blanket the canvas, take another step back and you'll discover a human face staring back at you. Each of his paintings features a portrait of an AI-generated face concealed within the repeating forms of the design. There is no magic to his process, however. It is simply a matter of subtly altering the pattern in places to convey the facial features of an individual. Typically, this requires Wagstaff to invert the colors or broaden the lines, which in turn creates the illusion of shadow and depth. The darker areas of the design help create the contours of eyes, eyebrows, a nose, lips, and the shape of the face, emerging from the print.

She, if it can be called a she, began her career with abstract art but has now moved to self, if they can be called self, portraits and they are alarmingly good.

“She is getting better all of the time,” said Aidan Meller, the force behind Ai-Da, the world’s first ultra-realistic robot artist, who is the subject of a display at the Design Museum in London.

Estonian artist Konrad Mägi’s painting “Rome” sold for €302,000 at the Swedish auction house, Bukowskis – a new record for Estonian art.

Mägi’s “Rome” was on the auction for an estimated price of €35,000, but its hammer price exceeded the estimate for almost ten times. The painting had once belonged to Aleksander Varma – a former prime minister of the Estonian government in exile.

Another of Mägi’s painting, untitled, was also sold – for €238,000. According to Bukowskis, both works were probably made during the early 1920s.
