The sculpture, which is believed to date to the Roman period around 2,000 years ago, was recovered during an operation conducted by the İzmir Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office with officers from the Anti-Smuggling and Intelligence branches of the provincial police department.

The Roman sculpture smashed its presale estimate of $12 million. The post $34.3M Roman Marble Busts Through Antiquity Record at Sotheby’s appeared first on Artnet News .

Interactive playground by WON JI LIM EXPLORES rituals of controlCreated by Chicago-based South Korean artist Won Ji Lim, Shifting Center (2026–ongoing) is a participatory sculptural installation that translates personal rituals of control, such as counting, checking, and aligning objects, into a physical, interactive environment. Measuring approximately 9 × 9 × 6 feet, the modular structure is constructed from metal pipes and connectors, forming a framework reminiscent of a playground jungle gym. The installation integrates suspended objects, woven membranes, transparent pockets, balancing mechanisms, and a series of rule-based activities that visitors can physically enter and navigate. Shifting Center is a participatory sculptural environment in which movable structures, suspended materials, and personal rules form an evolving system of order and adjustment | all images ©Won Ji LimThe artwork is a self-contained system, open to physical additionsThe project by artist Won Ji Lim pairs structural framework with unstable or organic materials.

If you planned to visit Art Basel Paris but just learned that it’s closing for the weekend ahead of Saturday’s planned protests, there’s some good news: for now, at least, several satellite fairs plan to welcome visitors for part or all of the weekend—while keeping an eye on the surrounding social and political context as it evolves in real time. As of Thursday night, Asia NOW and Paris Internationale told ARTnews they are staying open as planned, through October 24, while exhibitors at OFFSCREEN said they received official confirmation that the fair will remain open through Sunday, October 25. (OFFSCREEN organizers did not respond to a request for confirmation by the time of writing.) Outsider Paris also said it plans to stay open through Sunday, while responding to circumstances as they evolve.
