A framed view of Andres Valencia’s Woman.
13-year-old art prodigy
Mourlot Editions—the legendary print house founded in Paris in 1852, long revered as the premier fine art lithography studio for some of the most iconic artists in history like Picasso, Matisse, Chagall and Miró—is a leading voice in the art world, working with just a handful of artists in the 21st century. A partnership will be launching soon between Mourlot and 13-year-old art prodigy Andres Valencia, based in San Diego, California. The print house is set to release a limited-edition collection of three prints featuring Valencia’s signature large-scale, Cubist-inspired works, which now sell at auction for $100,000-plus. Painting since he was 5 years old, Valencia has taken the art world by storm since making his debut at Art Miami in December 2021 (the youngest artist ever exhibited). Since then, his colorful, dramatic paintings influenced by Condo, Picasso and Cubism have sold for $75,000 to $150,000. Phillips has auctioned five of his paintings in the past three years, most recently a piece that sold for $89,000 in May 2024.

Jameson Green, Adapa, 2025, oil and pastel on linen, 18 x 16 in.
Jameson Green solo show
A solo exhibition of new works by Jameson Green, Crutches, Crosses, Caskets / Caskets, Crosses, Crutches references a representation of the Black community which centers around a cyclical metaphor for change: “Crutches, a culture wounded by its own hand or circumstance but wounded perhaps even fatally; Crosses, it will be prayed for, as a pastor prays for the soul at a funeral; [and] Caskets into the soil you shall return, but like anything created there will be an end.” “By then flipping the title to Caskets, Crosses, Crutches, the metaphor becomes about rebirth,” notes Derek Eller Gallery, which will be hosting Green’s new show. The exhibition runs through October 11 at the New York City-based gallery.+++

For Which It Stands
For Which It Stands at Fairfield University Art Museum examines depictions of the American flag over the course of the last century, ranging from those who view it as “a straightforward symbol of patriotism to those who interrogate who the American flag represents and whether justice is really available to all.” The exhibition spans a wide range of artworks, including 20th-century pieces like Childe Hassam’s Italian Day, May 1918 to a brand new textile by Maria de Los Angeles commissioned specifically for the exhibition. On view from January 23 to July 25, 2026, For Which It Stands features paintings, prints, drawings, photographs and sculpture, as well as a digitally-animated piece, by artists from a diverse range of backgrounds and political viewpoints.
