Members of staff at the Palace of Holyroodhouse put the final touches to the new display Italian, Dutch & Flemish Paintings: Highlights from Buckingham Palace at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
EDINBURGH.- Portraits by Frans Hals, Titian and Parmigianino last shown in Scotland over a decade ago are among eight of the finest paintings from Buckingham Palace on display at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. Italian, Dutch & Flemish Paintings: Highlights from Buckingham Palace is a temporary display of 16th- and 17th-century paintings included in a visit to the official Scottish royal residence. The display provides an opportunity for visitors to see some of the greatest paintings in the Royal Collection while a rehang of the Picture Gallery of Buckingham Palace – where the paintings can usually be seen – takes place. Emma Stead, Curator at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, said: ‘These paintings are masterful examples of artistic skill from some of the most innovative periods of European art. We are delighted that visitors to the Palace of Holyroodhouse can now see these beautiful works, which usually capture the imagination of visitors to Buckingham Palace. Our newly perma ... More
The bathtubs explore warmth as a sculptural material – an inherently paradoxical pursuit given its formless nature.
LONDON.- Thaddaeus Ropac London will present Bathtub for a Heroine,the first exhibition to bring to focus the decades-long evolution of Joseph Beuys’ monumental Bathtub (1961–87), a pivotal late work now on view in the United Kingdom for the first time. The exhibition brings together the sculpture’s key precursors, including Bathtub for a Heroine (1961–84), Mammoth Tooth, Framed (1961) and Lead Woman (1949). Presented alongside other closely related sculptures and a selection of drawings, these works illuminate the central motifs and ideas that shaped Beuys’s revolutionary concept of social sculpture – the vision that art is a vehicle of individual and collective transformation, a creative potential not contained by a single object but inseparable from life itself. Wherever alienation has settled between people – one could almost call it a sculpture of coldness – there the warmth-sculpture must enter. It is there that interpersonal warmth has to be genera ...

Joseph Mallord William Turner, Falls of the Rhine at Schaffhausen, Side View, about 1841. Watercolour, bodycolour, pen and ink and scraping out on paper, 23.00 x 28.60 cm. Henry Vaughan Bequest 1900.
EDINBURGH.- The free, annual display of these watercolours is a keenly awaited tradition for many people in Scotland. At the dawning of the New Year, as we leave behind the darkest days of winter, the bright vitality of Turner’s watercolours is just what we need. Left to the nation by the great art collector Henry Vaughan in 1900, the watercolours have been displayed annually, following Vaughan’s strict guidelines, that they are only ever been displayed during the month of January, when natural light levels are at their lowest. 2026 also offer the unique opportunity to see Turner’s Norham Castle, Sunrise in Edinburgh as the work is on special loan from Tate later in the year. For over a century, the Scottish National Gallery has welcomed in the New Year by displaying the watercolours of JMW Turner throughout the month of January. A stipulation of collector Henry Vaughan, who gifted 38 works to the Gallery, the display has become ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- ‘Late at night, early in the morning, at noon’ is a two-part exhibition of new and historic works on paper by Glenn Ligon. This presentation extends the artist’s longstanding engagement with language and abstraction through a series of richly layered compositions that meditate on the color blue and its emotional, historical and cultural inflections. In dialogue with the writings of James Baldwin, Ligon’s latest work here traverses the space between legibility and sensation, where text dissolves into atmosphere and meaning into light. The exhibition’s title is taken from Baldwin’s 1964 introduction to a Beauford Delaney exhibition and recalls the writer’s reflection on a window through which ‘everything one saw… was filtered through leaves.’ Ligon draws upon Baldwin’s description of light ‘as blue as the blues when the last light of sun departed,’ to consider how color and language can merge to create ...

HOUSTON, TX.- Fifty years ago, the world was forever changed by an archaeological find that felt straight out of a movie: a vast, silent army of Terracotta Warriors, buried for millennia. In the years since, they’ve captivated millions. The Houston Museum of Natural Science has been a part of that journey, previously showing two blockbuster exhibitions that brought these breathtaking reminders of a distant past to a new audience. Now, the warriors have returned, and a new chapter is being being written. Terracotta Warriors opened its doors at HMNS, bringing over 110 newly unearthed treasures to North America for the very first time. “This exhibit presents the latest archaeological discoveries that rewrote history,” said Dr. Dirk Van Tuerenhout, Curator of Anthropology for HMNS. “China’s advanced civilization did not start where once thought it did. This is a story of over two millennia with kingdoms waxing and waning. It ends with the reign of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. His maus ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Pace will present an exhibition of new paintings by Gideon Appah at its 510 West 25th Street gallery in New York from January 16 through February 28, 2026. This will be Appah’s first solo show with Pace in New York, spotlighting works on canvas he created over the past year in his studio in Ghana, West Africa. Drawing inspiration from scenes of everyday life in Ghana, as well as personal memories, dreams, and family histories, Appah creates compositions that dissolve divisions between the tangible and the imagined while engaging questions of identity, freedom, and form. Though his paintings are informed by real places and people, they can appear more mythological than representative, employing elements of Fauvism and Surrealism that complicate any clear narrative reading. Oneiric and reflective, his works elevate the simple act of gathering to the realm of collective memory, in which it takes on new and unexpected significance. Works from Appah’s Swimmers and Surfers series w ... More
PALM SPRINGS, CALIF.- Palm Springs Art Museum presents Mapping the Female Body: Tom Wesselmann & Mickalene Thomas from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation on view from November 22, 2025, through April 6, 2026.

The exhibition features a significant ... More

MELBOURNE.- Heide Museum of Modern Art has unveiled Song of the Earth 1968-2020, a major exhibition of works by John Nixon (1949–2020), one of Australia’s most influential and experimental abstract artists.

TÜBINGEN.- The life and work of Joseph Beuys (1921–1986) are closely associated with the Kunsthalle Tübingen. In the early 1970s and up to the turn of the century, the artist was not only represented several times in exhibitions in the university town, works by him also made their way into the museum’s own collection. Over the past years, increasingly discussions of Beuys’ oeuvre have ranged around the issue of it being so strongly marked by his experience of the Second World War. Adopting the role of the artist-shaman, Beuys aimed to sensitize people to transcendental dimensions and the integrity of all life. In a decidedly aesthetic response to the phenomena of crisis and upheaval, he developed his own undogmatic art-religion, which included not only religious traditions but also elements of myth, folk culture and anthroposophy. Under the banner of an “extended concept of art”: Beuys as mediator between pre-modern and contemporary worlds of experience Not only did Beuys ... More
Shi Yanliang, City Hunter No 2, 2025. Acrylic on canvas, 95 x 75 cm.
SEOUL.- In the discourse of contemporary art, the body is always placed in the central position of being watched, written, and projected. From Foucault’s investigation of corporeal discipline, Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of “body without organ” (Corps sans organs), all the way to Merleau-Ponty’s “sense experience”, the body is constantly placed in the crossing point of political, sensual, and semiotic frameworks. Two artists born in the 1980s, Shi Yanliang and Sun Yu, approach the body respectively from the stretch marks of social structure and the mechanism of painterly production, making it into a space of appearance, disappearance, and re-construction. From personal emotion to societal parable, they construct a multi-narrative space about the body. Through Deleuze’s take of Leibniz’s “fold”, the body is not a concrete subject but rather a fold under the power of time. To a certain degree, Shi’s work can be interpreted as the ima ... More

Chang Sin-pi unveils "PARK" at Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts KAOHSIUNG CITY.- The word “park” is a neutral term for a designated area meant to support the growth of a specific industry. Using this title, the exhibition directly references Chang Sin-pi’s studio located within a betel nut farm—the site where his creative work originates. In his art, the southern land does not merely act as a backdrop or landscape but functions as a way of being deeply shaped by bodily memories and life experiences. His brush moves fluidly between memory and reality, as well as local places and identities. Meanwhile, the constructed scenes in his paintings are not simple representations of the natural environment in his hometown but serve as narrative spaces intertwined with the land itself. In Chang’s 2021 solo exhibition at Absolute Space for the Arts, titled Tropical Paradise—Joint Boundary, he demonstrated that artistic creation embodies a sense ... More

Cecil Day pairs linocuts and etchings in new spotlight series HALIFAX.- Cecil Day’s prints Underfoot: Beach Peas and Plantain were created as part of her Underfoot series, consisting of paired works, each with one linocut and one etching. These works are framed in a downward facing perspective, towards fields and grounds filled with a rich array of beach peas and plantain. Side by side, this series consciously displays two printmaking techniques to make visible the artist’s appreciation for each medium. We are invited to experience the rich diversity of textures within the works, as if re-visiting the same location multiple times – with each return carrying its own unique feeling, tone and memory. “These prints show an intimate landscape, the kind one perceives underfoot, like a carpet. I enjoy the patterns and repetitions in the similar forms and try to make textures that you would feel if you were to run your hand over a small patch of undergrowth.” ... More

Marisa Morán Jahn create new Great Hall Mural for Gateway Series at San Antonio Museum of Art SAN ANTONIO, TX.- The San Antonio Museum of Art announced that New York-based artist Marisa Morán Jahn has been selected to create a new mural in the Museum’s Great Hall for the second iteration of the Gateway series, an ongoing project that invites contemporary artists to activate SAMA’s main lobby. Titled TIPSY, Jahn’s immersive, site-specific installation was inspired by the Museum’s history as the former Lone Star Brewery. It explores the role of art and “spirits” (drinks made from distilled and fermented plants) in shifting perspective and communing with the divine or with others. TIPSY is on view in the Great Hall from through November 14, 2027. “Jahn’s installation will welcome visitors with a design that is playful and unexpected, opening minds for new conversations and experiences in the galleries,” said Lana Meador, Associate Curator of Modern ...

Pass Through the City: Park Hyunki's pioneering hybrid media project on view in New York NEW YORK, NY.- Gallery Hyundai New York Project Space is presenting Pass Through the City, a solo presentation of Park Hyunki (1942–2000).
