The latest show at Melbourne's Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) has a little star quality courtesy of actress and artist Lucy Liu.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 star has contributed three paintings to its show, Are you lonely tonight? I’m so lonesome I could cry, which opens today.

Wall labels provided by the gallery say all three are from her 2006–08 Shunga series inspired by the form of Japanese erotic art of the same name and illustrate "the private inner lives of fictional characters".

The show, which also includes work by Polly Borland and Kayla Mattes among others, is the first of three inspired by human emotions with Rage and Joy still to come.

Phillips is bringing the art of Cornwall to its HQ just as Londoners head in the opposite direction to the seaside in their droves.

The auction house has gathered work by names including Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson and Patrick Heron for the show which opens on Thursday.

St Ives: The Modern Coast, which runs to August 7, celebrates the enduring legacy on British art of the seaside town on the far southwest coast of England which attracted generations of artists with its light and landscape as well as holidaymakers.

As well as works on loan from The Hepworth Wakefield, the selling exhibition includes pieces such as Christopher Wood’s Drying Sails, Mousehole, Cornwall, 1930, and Naum Gabo’s sculpture Linear Construction in Space No.1.

Catherine Bird, associate specialist at Phillips, said the show would celebrate "one of the most influential chapters in British Modernism".

A long-lost work by Velazquez has been uncovered shedding new light on his early days as a portrait painter in the court of the King of Spain.

It was found in a private collection by the director of the Detroit Institute of Arts, Salvador Salort-Pons, who is an expert on the Spanish painter.

The portrait of the Count-Duke of Olivares, a high-ranking advisor to King Philip IV, was probably commissioned in 1626 when Velazquez first arrived in Madrid, according to an article in Ars magazine by Salort-Pons.
