Installation view of Cartier at V&A South Kensington (12 April-16 November 2025) (c) Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
LONDON.- The V&A is staging the UK’s first major exhibition in almost 30 years dedicated to Cartier jewels and watches, exploring how the Maison became an unparalleled force in the jewellery and watch world. Featuring more than 350 objects, the exhibition charts the evolution of the house’s legacy of art, design and craftsmanship since the turn of the 20th century. It was at that point that the three grandsons of founder Louis-François set out to create the first globally recognised jewellery house, establishing branches in Paris, London and New York. With an enviable client list of royalty and aristocracy, Cartier became known as ‘the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers’ and later broadened its appeal thanks to the devotion of leading creatives from the worlds of cinema, music and fashion. The exhibition includes precious jewels and showstopping objects, historic gemstones, iconic watches and clocks from the V&A and Cartier Collection, as well as previously unseen d ... More

JERUSALEM.- Early this past March, during a family trip to Tel Azeka, near Beit Shemesh, 3.5-year-old Ziv Nitzan from Moshav Ramot Meir found an ancient scarab amulet, about 3,800 years old. “We were walking along the path, and then Ziv bent down – and out of all the stones around her, she picked up this particular stone,” recounts Omer Nitzan, Ziv's sister. “When she rubbed it and removed the sand from it, we saw something was different about it. I called my parents to come see the beautiful stone, and we realized we had discovered an archaeological find! We immediately reported this to the Israel Antiquities Authority.” Semyon Gendler, Judah Region District Archaeologist on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority, praised Ziv and her family for reporting the find, and awarded her a certificate of appreciation for good citizenship. The ancient find will be included in a special display for Passover that the Israel Antiquities Authority has prepared at the ... More

HERFORD.- With Other People Think – A Selection from the Wemhöner Collection, the Museum Marta Herford is presenting the first exhibition of a selection from the art collection of the family entrepreneur Heiner Wemhöner, which in the meantime comprises around 1,800 works, in his hometown of Herford. Heiner Wemhöner’s collecting activity began in the late 1990s and over the years has evolved into an intense and ongoing commitment to contemporary art. The curator’s selection for the show in the Gehry Galleries includes sculptures, paintings, photographs, and expansive video installations. Their selection was based on a conceptual position that focuses on such themes as the corporeality of identity, political approaches and the sensory experience of the works in the architecture of the Marta. Almost all of the artists selected for the exhibition have already shaped the institutional canon of contemporary art. The exhibition ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- The Museum of Modern Art announces Odili Donald Odita: Songs from Life, a new site-specific commission in the museum’s main lobby on view through 2025. For this project, Odita and his team worked from February to April to envelop the entire lobby in bright planes of interweaving colors. Visitors had the opportunity to see the artist at work during public hours, and can scan a QR code to listen to an accompanying playlist of songs Odita used as primary sources of inspiration for the commission. Odili Donald Odita: Songs from Life is organized by Ugochukwu-Smooth Nzewi, The Steve and Lisa Tananbaum Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, with Elizabeth Wickham, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Painting and Sculpture. “Odita’s work reflects the history of abstract painting, African and African American textile traditions, and the indigenous mural art of his Nigerian heritage,” said Nzewi. “Drawing ...

RENO, NEV.- The Nevada Museum of Art today opened two major exhibitions that celebrate the spirit of American resilience — Dorothea Lange: Seeing People and When Langston Hughes Came to Town. The artistic output of these two leading cultural figures in the 1920s and 30s conveyed the struggles and resilience of marginalized communities, shaped public consciousness, and advocated for social change during a pivotal era in America’s history. Dorothea Lange reframes the famous artist’s work through the lens of portraiture, highlighting her unique ability to discover and reveal the character and resilience of those she photographed. Featuring more than 100 photographs, the exhibition addresses Lange’s innovative approaches to picturing ... More

RALEIGH, NC.- The North Carolina Museum of Art announces details of Grace Hartigan: The Gift of Attention, the largest exhibition of Hartigan’s work in over two decades, on view from April 12 - August 10, 2025, bringing together more than 40 paintings and works on paper, many of which have not been seen publicly in years. Drawn from prestigious public and private collections–including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Levett Collection–the exhibition explores the dynamic exchange between Hartigan’s groundbreaking mid-20th-century work and the bold New York poets who inspired her, such as Daisy Aldan, Barbara Guest, James Merrill, Frank O’Hara, and James Schuyler. Uniting works created between 1952 and 1968, it offers a unique opportunity to experience Hartigan’s evolution during a pivotal moment in her career, when she deftly navigated between abstraction and figuration. Exhibition curator Jared Ledesma, ... More

TOKYO.- BLUM is presenting Distant Islands, Berlin–based artist Tom Anholt’s second solo exhibition with the gallery and his first in Tokyo. Compared with Anholt’s earlier works, the paintings comprising Distant Islands reveal a rougher edge—expressive, textural brushstrokes hint at the prickly, exhilarating feeling of going into the unfamiliar. For the artist, this sentiment arrives as an amalgamation primarily brought forth from two sources: contemporary interpretations of the naturalist and individualist ideals of German Romantic painters and the autobiographical experience of a solo traveler immersing himself in Japanese culture for the first time. Recalling years of imagery that have emanated globally out of Japan as he prepared for this exhibition, Anholt becomes a spectator within his own subconscious—recontextualizing ... More
Elisabeth Molin, Slow Puncture 1, 2023.
GLASGOW.- Elisabeth Molin and Kate V Robertson each have a unique relationship to sculptural forms. The objects and display structures in Molin’s work invite total body engagement, providing an oblique view of the materials and detritus surrounding us, be this natural or man-made. Positioning us as active readers, Molin’s installations accentuate the innate interdependencies of existence. For Robertson sculpture acts as a lens, allowing her to cast associative connotations. Often toying with tension and illusion, histories and technological systems, her artworks act as two-faced conversationalists questioning the ‘truthful’ fabrication of our worldly condition. With each artist’s works occupying its own space in the gallery, at first glance this two person exhibition features a range of seemingly traditionally sculptural forms, bronzes on plinths, compartmental installation and wall reliefs; thinking beyond those formal associations, s_c_u_l_p_t_u_r_e embraces pictorial ...

LONG ISLAND CITY, NY.- Julien Ceccaldi’s first US museum exhibition features a newly commissioned large scale painting that transforms the first-floor MoMA PS1 galleries at an architectural scale. This major work, A Collection of Little Memories (2025), casts visitors into an episode featuring Ceccaldi’s recurring protagonist, Francis, in an elaborate mise-en scène annotating the assembly-line array of sexual availability provided by networked connectivity. Ceccaldi’s exploded perspective on insatiable desire and endless choice uses allegory to exploit his subject’s enthusiasm for the thrill of a first encounter. On view March 27 through August 25, 2025, the exhibition features a selection of drawings, paintings, installations, and animations that document the 21st-century collision of ideals amid lingering conditions of secrecy, competition, and prejudice. Ceccaldi’s ... More

Ishara Art Foundation supports public sculpture commission by Shilpa Gupta DUBAI.- Ishara Art Foundation supports ‘Still They Know Not What I Dream’ by Shilpa Gupta, a light-text sculpture commissioned by Alserkal Arts Foundation. The work is set to launch during Alserkal Art Week, running from 13 to 15 April 2025, and forms part of a series of public art commissions curated by Fatoş Üstek under the theme ‘Between a Beach and a Slope’. The sculpture will be located at The Yard in Alserkal Avenue. Exploring the nature of self within a world marked by inequity, control, and surveillance, ‘Still They Know Not What I Dream’ presents its text in reverse, challenging viewers to rethink everyday spaces and movements. The work interrogates how language both represents and obscures human history and memory, exploring the power of symbols in shaping identity and collective memory. The sculpture is presented in parallel with ‘Shilpa Gupta: Lines ... More
The Mine opens a solo exhibition by Iranian-American artist Hadieh Shafie DUBAI.- The Mine is presenting Resonant Turns, a solo exhibition by Iranian-American artist Hadieh Shafie, held in Warehouse 46 at Alserkal Avenue, Dubai. Hadieh Shafie’s practice is a process-driven contemplation that uses ink, paint, and paper as material for works that abstract text into form, evoking a spectrum of optical perspectives. Her reliefs comprise circular or cone-shaped scrolls inscribed with Farsi poetry and her own writing in acts of concealment, fragmentation, and distortion. Performing the gesture of masking language through repetitive movement, Shafie’s work defies clean categorisations, situating itself between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional planes and generating diverse fields of vision. Her visual language, a form of mark-making, is multi-layered and arises from a profound understanding of words as an energetic charge, colour as emotion, ... More

Copenhagen Contemporary launches new creative laboratory exploring Monster Chetwynd's fantastical universe COPENHAGEN.- From 13 April, Copenhagen Contemporary will be transformed into a fanciful universe when they open their doors to a new triennial exhibition and learning project, CC Create – a comprehensive educational initiative at CC with focus on creativity as an inherent trait in all humans.

Roots n' Fruits: Artist couple Shara Hughes and Austin Eddy stage first joint exhibition SEOUL.- Galerie Eva Presenhuber is presenting Roots n’ Fruits, the first collaborative exhibition of the Brooklyn-based artist couple Shara Hughes (b. 1981 in Atlanta, GA, US) and Austin Eddy (b. 1986 in Boston, MA, US), who met in 2012 and have been married since 2023. In pursuing their idea of themselves in relation to the world, painters make everything subservient to them, transforming and transcending it. Standing in front of a blank canvas, they let their imagination run free, conjuring up their own world alongside the real world, coupled with the imaginary. Indeed, in each of their paintings, they allow us to experience the moment of creation ex nihilo, and each one raises the old metaphysical question anew: Why is there something rather than nothing? Between the painter and his or her pictorial imagination, there is no apparatus that would restrain their imagination. And through ... More
Zawyeh Gallery presents The Promise: A solo exhibition by renowned artist Bashir Makhoul DUBAI.- Zawyeh Gallery announces the opening of The Promise, a solo exhibition by renowned Palestinian artist Bashir Makhoul. The exhibition will open on 13 April 2025 in the presence of the artist and will continue until 30 June 2025. In The Promise, Makhoul unveils his latest works, exploring themes of home, displacement, and memory through intricate visual narratives. The exhibition title encapsulates a poetic and ambiguous statement of intent—an assertion that is both an event and a transformation. A promise is made and, inevitably, can be broken. This duality is at the heart of Makhoul’s practice, where creation and fragmentation, completion and rupture, coexist. At the core of the exhibition is the recurring motif of the house, depicted in its most elemental form: a cube with a door and a window. These geometric structures, arranged in dense and chaotic formations, reflect ... More
Juergen Teller's "7 ½": Fashion photography icon opens personal show in UNESCO town of Sabbioneta SABBIONETA.- Palazzo Giardino, an extraordinary work of architecture within the walls of the UNESCO town of Sabbioneta (Mantua), is ready for the second major contemporary art exhibition organised by the Sabbioneta Heritage Foundation. From Sunday 13 April to Sunday 23 November 2025, the Galleria degli Antichi and the Sala degli Specchi at Palazzo Giardino will be hosting 7 ½, a solo show by Juergen Teller, an iconic figure and irreverent innovator of contemporary fashion photography, and an artist with an unmistakable style.

Centraal Museum presents Evi Vingerling and Katja Mater in the Landhuis Oud Amelisweerd BUNNIK.- For the first time, Centraal Museum presents a duo exhibition at Landhuis Oud Amelisweerd, the 18th-century country estate just outside Utrecht. In Light on Things, new site-specific works by Katja Mater and Evi Vingerling unfold across the historical rooms, exploring light, time, memory, and grief. Though working in distinct media—Mater through lens-based installations and Vingerling through abstract painting—both artists engage in a resonant dialogue on the movement of time and the presence of absence. Curated by Bart Rutten, Artistic Director of Centraal Museum, Light on Things transforms the historic house into a contemplative space where personal experience meets collective reflection. “Mater and Vingerling bring a poetic clarity to the house,” Rutten notes. “Themes of belonging and mourning create an intimate tension between the historic ...
