NEW YORK, NY.- Raphael: Sublime Poetry, on view March 29 to June 28, 2026, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, will be the first comprehensive, international loan exhibition in the United States on Raphael (Raffaello di Giovanni Santi; 1483–1520), considered one of the greatest artists of all time. This landmark exhibition will explore the full breadth of his life and career, from his origins in Urbino to his prolific years in Florence, where he began to emerge as a peer to Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, to his final decade at the papal court in Rome. Bringing together more than 200 of Raphael’s most important drawings, paintings, tapestries, and decorative arts from public and private collections around the world, the exhibition will offer a fresh perspective on this defining figure of the Italian Renaissance, presenting his renowned masterpieces alongside rarely ...

Dorothy Hood, Florence In the Morning, c. 1976, Oil on canvas, 70 x 60 inches, Roger Houston Ogden Collection.
NEW ORLEANS, LA.-Ogden Museum of Southern Art announced Vicinal Visions: Dusti Bongé, Ida Kohlmeyer & Dorothy Hood, on view March 21 through July 19, 2026. Drawn from the Museum’s permanent collection, the exhibition highlights three visionary artists whose work expanded the boundaries of abstraction in the American South. In conjunction with the exhibition, Ogden Museum will present a slate of public programs and exclusive exhibition-related merchandise. While Dusti Bongé, Ida Kohlmeyer and Dorothy Hood each developed her own distinct visual language, their work shares a spirit of experimentation and Modernist sensibilities, refracted through individual lenses of personal experience and place. Bradley Sumrall, Curator of the Collection at Ogden Museum of Southern Art, explains: “This exhibition is not only a focus on regional art history; it is a ... More

HUMLEBÆK.- At first glance, Sophie Calle's works may look as dry as a washing-machine manual. A second later, they whirl you in. From 26 March, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark will present an exhibition of seven major series and other works by the French artist. Totalling more than 300 individual parts – photographs, texts and videos – the exhibition fills the museum’s West Wing. Over five decades, Sophie Calle (b. 1953) has created a prodigious body of work about navigating the world. About being human. About interpersonal connections, the inner and outer worlds, fiction and fact. The exhibition features works spanning nearly 40 years, from 1986-2024. Themes of love, longing, memory, beauty, absence and presence are central to the exhibition and to Calle’s art overall. Another recurring motif is the relationship between the visible and the invisible, sight and ... More

MELBOURNE.- Featuring more than 200+ historical and contemporary works from the NGV Collection, MOTHER is the most comprehensive thematic exhibition exploring motherhood ever mounted in an Australian art institution. Opening 27 March 2026 at the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, the exhibition explores how the experiences of being and having a mother continue to fascinate artists across cultures and generations, including Louise Bourgeois, Tracey Emin, Camille Henrot, David Hockney, Tracey Moffat, Iluwanti Ken, Käthe Kollwitz, Patricia Piccinini, Rembrandt van Rijn and more. From the walls of caves to ancient Egyptian tombs, Renaissance frescos and beyond, the depiction of mother and child stands as one of the oldest and most enduring themes in art history. Traversing geographies, cultures and mediums, the ... More
Shirley Jaffe Estate, Untitled, 1967-1968. Mixed media on paper, 65 x 50 cm (25 9/16 x 19 5/8 inches). Framed: 76 x 61 x 3,5 cm (29 7/8 x 24 x 1 3/8 inches).
BRUSSELS.- Galerie Nathalie Obadia presents an exhibition in Brussels devoted to some thirty works on paper by Shirley Jaffe, produced between 1955 and 2012. Ten years after the American artist's death, this presentation carries particular resonance in the wake of the recent passing of her brother, Jerome Sternstein, an unwavering supporter and tireless champion of her work. A parallel presentation devoted to Shirley Jaffe's paintings is on view at the Paris gallery from 30 January to 25 April 2026. These two exhibitions form part of the growing institutional recognition of her work, which has continued to gain visibility since 2016. They follow the major travelling retrospective first presented at the Musée National d'Art Moderne - Centre Pompidou (2022), then at the Kunstmuseum Basel (2023), and subsequently at the Musée Matisse (2023-2024). This momentum has been accompanied by a number of major acquisitions by institutions including the ... More
LONDON.- Gagosian announced an exhibition of new sculptures and recent photographs by Rachel Whiteread at its Davies Street gallery. The exhibition title, Substitute, resonates with the artist’s use of one medium to echo another, and to the way in which her casting process replaces negative space with physical substance. Substitute features large, wall-mounted sculptural reliefs produced by pressing papier-mâché pulp onto timeworn wooden barn doors and sections of gates, then covering the resultant forms in pigmented silver and copper leaf. In contrast to these opaque metallic surfaces are two transparent resin casts of sash windows in blue and pink hues. In her sculptural practice, Whiteread often uses standard industrial substances such as concrete, resin, and rubber, as well as more traditional materials like plaster and bronze, to produce cast objects with significatory presence that evoke absence, memory, and loss. Building on a ... More

LONDON.- Serpentine presents Picture Making, an exhibition featuring new and recent works by Cecily Brown, one of the most important painters working today. The exhibition will run from 27 March to 6 September 2026 at Serpentine South and marks a homecoming for the British artist who has lived and worked in New York for the past thirty years. Over three decades Brown has gained a reputation for her unique approach to painting, characterised by vigorous brushwork, a vivid sense of colour and dynamic all-over compositions that hold the viewer in an active space of looking. Picture Making brings together works inspired by Serpentine’s unique location in Kensington Gardens, a site of personal significance to the artist. Themes of nature and park life have long shaped Brown’s formal explorations and, for her exhibition at Serpentine, the artist revisits familiar subjects such as amorous couples, woodland settings and uncanny ...

Edward Steichen’s Balzac, The Open Sky, 11 P.M. (1908) (est. $700,000–1 million). Courtesy Sotheby's.
NEW YORK, NY.- This spring, Sotheby’s will present a landmark series of auctions showcasing The Jill and Marshall Rose Collection, among the most significant private holdings of 20th century American and European modernist photography to appear at auction. Formed principally during the 1980s, with shared conviction, discernment, and a passion for the arts, the collection reflects the complementary vision of Jill Kupin Rose’s scholarly eye and Marshall Rose’s enduring dedication to cultural stewardship. Comprising 20 exceptional fresh to market photographs and works on paper, each piece reflects the couple’s bold yet thoughtful choices, resulting in a group distinguished by rarity, quality, and historical significance. Meticulously preserved and cherished privately for decades, the collection is led by Edward Steichen’s rare and monumental Balzac, The Open Sky, 11 P.M. (1908), believed to be one of only three extant ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Pat Steir, the celebrated American painter whose work redefined the role of chance, gesture and control in contemporary abstraction, has died at the age of 87 in Manhattan. Her passing marks the end of a remarkable career that reshaped the language of painting over more than five decades. Steir maintained a close and enduring relationship with her gallery since its founding in 1991, joining its program alongside founding partner Eric Franck. Over the years, that collaboration grew into a lasting bond—one grounded not only in artistic dialogue but in deep mutual respect and friendship. Her loss is felt not only professionally, but personally, by those who worked alongside her. At the heart of Steir’s practice was a radical rethinking of how a painting comes into being. Rather than treating the canvas as a surface to be controlled, she approached it as a site of unfolding events. Her signature works—often monumental cascades of pigment—embody a delicate ... More
Declaration of Independence diorama. Artist: Bartlett Frost. Copy after: John Trumbull. Wax figures and mixed media 1969. National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution.
WASHINGTON, DC.- In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the nation, the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery has announced two additions to the museum’s “Out of Many: Portraits from 1600 to 1900” exhibition: a freshly conserved diorama depicting the signers of the Declaration of Independence and a new gallery titled “Independence: 1765–1789.” Commissioned by the Portrait Gallery in 1968 and completed in 1969, a recently conserved large-scale, wax diorama by Bartlett Frost (1913–1997) depicts key members of the Second Continental Congress witnessing the presentation of the Declaration of Independence. Last displayed at the museum during the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976, it is modeled after John Trumbull’s iconic painting, “The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776” (1786–1820), which the artist painted at the urging of Thomas Jefferson. ...

LONDON.- Today, Tate Britain opened the first major survey exhibition of British artist Hurvin Anderson. Bringing together around 80 works, the show will span the artist’s entire career, from formative work to present day, including a room of never-before-seen paintings. Through colour-drenched landscapes and interiors, Anderson’s work weaves back and forth across the Atlantic, between the UK and the Caribbean, reflecting on his experiences of belonging and diaspora, evoking a sense of, as he puts it, ‘being in one place but thinking about another’. Thanks to his profoundly atmospheric use of composition to explore the markers of identity, and his deep-rooted engagement with traditions of British landscape painting, this exhibition confirms Anderson’s standing as one of the most important contemporary painters of his generation. The artist was the first member of his family to be born in England, after his father emigrated from Jamaica in 1961. Anderson’s upbringin ... More

PARIS.- In spring 2026, the Jacquemart-André Museum, in collaboration with the Hispanic Society of America (New York), showcases Hispanic Baroque art. This exhibition is part of the museum’s ongoing programme dedicated to 17th-century masters and masterpieces, following Caravaggio (2018), Artemisia Gentileschi (2025), Georges de La Tour (2025) and the Borghese collection (2024). It offers the public the opportunity to admire some forty works from the prestigious American institution, brought together in France for the first time, including paintings by the great masters of the Spanish Golden Age such as Velázquez, El Greco and Zurbarán.

Matts Leiderstam's new research-based exhibition opens at Andrehn-Schiptjenko PARIS.- For more than three decades, Matts Leiderstam (b. 1956) has occupied a singular position in contemporary art. Through an unwavering and conceptually rigorous engagement with art history, modes of display, and the act of looking, he has developed one of the most rigorous and distinctive artistic practices in Scandinavia. Situated at the intersection of painting, research, and institutional critique, his work unfolds as a sustained investigation into the structures that shape how we see and understand images. The exhibition presents a new chapter in Leiderstam’s continuous research into art history and the grid — two frameworks that have persistently shaped his practice. Rather than treating art history as a fixed canon, he approaches it as a dynamic field of negotiation, where omissions, marginal positions, and coded — often queer — narratives can be made visible. ...

Petri Ala-Maunus redefines the "Weltlandschaft" with apocalyptic vistas HELSINKI.- Petri Ala-Maunus’s landscapes revel in extremes and collisions. Within a single painting, a violently raging storm may coexist with balmy vistas bathed in soft sunlight – shifting abruptly from apocalyptic ruin to utopian serenity. What unites his oeuvre is its deliberate excess: a quality that might be described as hyper-landscape. His works overflow with hyperbolic beauty and an overwhelming wealth of detail, through which the artist consciously unsettles the traditions of landscape painting. Nothing modest or subdued holds interest for Ala-Maunus; instead, he is drawn to dystopian–utopian terrains that overturn the conventions and expectations of the genre. The exhibition title, Weltlandschaft (World Landscape), refers to a term used in the early sixteenth-century Netherlands to describe a type of Western painting that presents an imagined panoramic landscape ...

Brook Andrew reclaims the colonial archive through symbolic intervention at Tolarno Galleries MELBOURNE.- Holding Ceremony is an installation that explores how images, objects and cultural signs accumulate meaning over time, and how those meanings shift, dissolve or are reactivated in the present. Across this body of work, using experimental methods of mark making, collage, sculpture and assemblage, I draw on romanticised historical images of Aboriginal people from my own Wiradjuri Nation and neighbouring Nations. Some of these visual references emerge from the nineteenth-century archive of the naturalist William von Blandowski, including the etchings produced by the illustrator Wilhelm Mutzel during Blandowski’s expeditions along the Murray River. Within this project these historical images act only as points of departure. The figurative forms and many other elements have been reworked and embellished by me as the artist, interrupting the authority of the ... More

Claudia Pagès Rabal to unveil "Paper Tears" at the 61st Biennale VENICE.- The Institut Ramon Llull presents Catalonia in Venice: Claudia Pagès Rabal, Paper Tears at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. The installation, curated by Elise Lammer, will be open to the public from May 9th to November 22nd at the Docks Cantieri Cucchini in San Pietro di Castello. Paper Tears is an immersive installation by Claudia Pagès Rabal that investigates paper watermarks as symbolic and political devices. Through laser projections, a sculptural LED screen, and an enveloping soundtrack, these watermarks, which were created in the paper manufacturing process and historically linked to origin and authenticity, are revealed and examined. Paper Tears invites us to reflect on how institutional systems of knowledge and authority have taken shape over time, ultimately colliding with the contemporary world. The watermarks ... More
EMST Athens concludes landmark year-long program on interspecies justice ATHENS.- After nearly a year of exhibitions, public programme, screenings, and artistic interventions, EMST, the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens, concludes its exhibition cycle, Why Look at Animals?, an ambitious museum-wide programme dedicated to reconsidering the place of non-human lives within contemporary ethical, ecological, and political thought. To mark its culmination, EMST Athens will host a symposium and launch a publication – events that collectively extend the exhibition’s central proposition: that the question of animals is inseparable from the question of how we imagine justice in a more-than-human world. At the heart of the year-long programme was Why Look at Animals? A Case for the Rights of Non-Human Lives curated by Katerina Gregos. Spanning all seven levels of the museum and featuring work by more than 60 international ... More
Linus Borgo explores the subjective flow of time and healing at Yossi Milo NEW YORK, NY.- Yossi Milo announced Into the Blue Again, Linus Borgo’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. The show will be on view through Saturday, April 25, 2026. Linus Borgo’s (b. 1995; Stamford, CT) paintings reckon with lived time, using lavish rendering to convey experiences of embodiment through stillness and change. Into the Blue Again finds Borgo drawing his audience close, asking them to share in emotional sensation as he navigates blurred narrative boundaries between home, hospital, and studio. The artist elides action in favor of its aftermath, living in the wake of urgency as calm sets in. Across the works on view, Borgo performs a transformation: the quotidian becomes phenomenological in scenes of quiet companionship and fraught recovery. Into the Blue Again casts an uneasy stillness. Borgo’s paintings exist in sensory stasis, as though ... More
Filipa Ramos appointed curator for Lofoten International Art Festival-LIAF 2027 SVOLVÆR.- “We are delighted to announce that Filipa Ramos will curate the 2027 edition of Lofoten International Art Festival.

Shifting weathers explores climate, perception and technology at Villa Heike Kunstverein in Berlin BERLIN.- At a time when climate change is often communicated through data charts, satellite imagery and urgent headlines, a new exhibition in Berlin invites visitors to slow down and reconsider how we actually perceive weather and climate. Shifting weathers, now on view at Villa Heike Kunstverein through May 2, 2026, brings together works by Susanne Kriemann, Jasmijn Visser and Luiz Zanotello in a thoughtful exploration of how climate is seen, felt and understood. Rather than focusing on dramatic images of environmental catastrophe, the exhibition takes a quieter, more reflective approach. It asks a deceptively simple question: what if weather is not just something we observe, but something that continuously shapes our perception of time, memory and experience? Curated by Sarie Nijboer under the direction of Michael Schäfer, Shifting weathers unfolds as a layered ... More

On a day like today, German and American architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was born
March 27, 1886. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (March 27, 1886 - August 17, 1969) was a German and American architect, academic, and interior designer. He was commonly referred to as Mies, his surname. He is regarded as one of the pioneers of modern architecture. Mies sought to establish his own particular architectural style that could represent modern times. His buildings made use of modern materials such as industrial steel and plate glass to define interior spaces. He is often associated with his fondness for the aphorisms "less is more" and "God is in the details". In this image: Edith Farnsworth House (1946 - 1951).
