From a Flemish Baroque life study to a watercolour of a man lost in thought before a stained glass window, the 34th edition of Salon du Dessin in Paris was quietly obsessed with the human body. We picked five works from the exhibitors that show just how much a drawing can hold.

Art Basel Hong Kong returned this March, and beneath the usual spectacle, something more was happening. Collectors were slowing down, spending longer in front of work, asking harder questions. From Yang Juhae and Woo Hannah making a quiet case for textile art as serious conceptual practice, to Janine Antoni anchoring the fair's feminist art history, the work that held attention longest shared a point of view rooted in place, tradition, and the female body as both subject and author.
