It will mark the first dedicated exploration of Monet’s luminous Venetian works since their debut in 1912, placing them in context with select paintings from key moments throughout his career, and in dialogue with portrayals of the city by artists such as Canaletto, John Singer Sargent, J.

The exhibition follows past presentations on the artist at the Brooklyn Museum, such as Monet’s London: Artists‘ Reflections on the Thames, 1859–1914 (2005), Monet and the Mediterranean (1997), and Monet & His Contem ...

LONDON.- From 8 to 18 October 2025, the Lavery Studio at Cromwell Place hosts La Selva Oscura: Scenes from a Polish Silver Birch Wood, an exhibition of new works by renowned British artist Emma Sergeant (b.1959). Inspired by the silver birch trees that surround the artist’s studio in Poland, and the allegorical ‘dark forest’ which features in Canto 1 of Dante’s Inferno, the exhibition is centred around a large-scale triptych executed in charcoal, conte and gouache depicting horses and riders finding their way in the wood. It is complemented by six large studies of silver birches, as well as preparatory works relating to the trees and the cast of characters depicted, including four oil-on-copper paintings.

Massimiliano Pelletti: Metamorfosi runs at Bowman Sculpture, St James’s, London, from 9 October to 7 November 2025.
LONDON.- As London’s art world braces for another edition of Frieze Week, one Mayfair gallery is charting a bold new course. In an era defined by closures and cutbacks, Bowman Sculpture has done the opposite by reinvesting in its physical space, its artists, and its community. Under the leadership of its dynamic young director Mica Bowman, the gallery unveils a newly renovated home in St James’s with the solo exhibition Metamorfosi by acclaimed Italian sculptor Massimiliano Pelletti. The reopening marks both a renewal of the gallery’s commitment to sculpture and a declaration of faith in the vitality of in-person art experiences. “We wanted to create a gallery that truly reflects our values - open, welcoming, and focused on the sculpture itself,” says Mica Bowman. “This redesign was very personal, conceived and shaped in-house by our team. Like everything we do at Bowman, ... More
Jan Lievens, Portrait of a woman by candlelight. Oil on panel. 65.3 × 51.7 cm. Estimate: CHF 10 000 /15 000. Sold for CHF 325 000.
ZURICH.- Koller’s Old Masters, 19th Century and Works of Art & Decorative Arts auctions were a resounding success, countering the oft-repeated claim that the auction market is in decline. the combined hammer total reached 134% of the aggregate pre-sale estimates, with many works achieving far above their pre-sale expectations. A portrait of an older woman that had languished for nearly half a century under a misattribution in a Swiss private collection was identified by Koller specialists as an autograph work by Jan Lievens, a contemporary and student of Rembrandt. After fierce competition from more than twenty telephone, online and saleroom bidders, the work sold for CHF 325 000 – over thirty times its low estimate – to an American collector (lot 3030, estimate CHF 10 000 / 15 000). Renewed interest in the celebrated Crimean painter Ivan Konstantinovitch Aivazovsky, whose works commanded spectacular prices in the mid-2000s, was also evident. ... More

ROME.- Palazzo Bonaparte – now an essential venue for major art exhibitions in Italy – transforms into the temple of Art Nouveau, presenting the most comprehensive retrospective ever dedicated to Alphonse Mucha (Ivančice, July 24, 1860 – Prague, July 14, 1939), Czech artist and undisputed father and master of that refined and sensual style that has revolutionized the visual imagination across time.

HELSINKI.- This autumn, Amos Rex will present a major solo exhibition by Leandro Erlich (b. 1973, Buenos Aires) – his first in Finland and the Nordics. Erlich is an internationally acclaimed artist whose works inhabit the boundary between reality and illusion. The exhibition will bring to Helsinki a selection of his most celebrated works, including a new Helsinki-inspired version of Bâtiment (2004/2025). In his art, Erlich employs spatial illusions such as reflections and distortions of perspective, and architectural interventions to explore how the built environment shapes our sense of reality and how easily that sense can be unsettled. The Amos Rex exhibition brings together ten works, including large-scale, participatory installations that engage in dialogue with local architecture and the surrounding cityscape. The journey begins with the dreamlike Cloud and continues through Sidewalk, Lost Garden and ... More
Todd McFarlane Batman #423 Cover Original Art (DC, 1988).
DALLAS, TX.- An incredible selection of original comic art including some of the most important covers of the Golden Age as well as modern classics such as Todd McFarlane’s landmark cover of Batman No. 423 (1988) is up for bidding Oct. 17 in Heritage’s Keif Fromm Collection Comic Art Signature® Auction. Heritage Auctions Executive Vice President Joe Maddalena describes the late Keif Fromm as a singularly discerning and shrewd collector. “I knew Keif for 30 years,” Maddalena says. “At a time when collectors were focusing on Silver Age and Bronze Age titles, Keif built probably the finest collection of Golden Age comic art in the hobby. His knowledge was incredible, and there’s no question his eye for quality was second to none. We are thrilled to be able to bring this collection to auction.” Surviving original artwork from the era of comics’ greatest cultural impact is extremely rare, and in many cases the art in the Fromm ...

PARIS.- Christie's announced Les Stern, une famille de collectionneurs auction to be held in Paris on December 11 and online from November 28 to December 12.

Guan Xiao, Cyclemony, 2025. Courtesy the artist and David Kordansky Gallery, Los Angeles/New York.
VIENNA.- Kunsthalle Wien presents the first solo exhibition in Austria by Guan Xiao (b. 1983, Chongqing, China). Comprising an entirely new body of sculpture and painting, it takes what Guan Xiao describes as the ‘ambiguous life stage’ of the teenager as a starting point for works that reflect upon the currents, conflicts and absurdities of a society impacted by the values of capitalism and liberalism: A teenager is typically thought to be impulsive, led by their intuition and open to possibilities, changes and uncertainty. They can be dramatic, riven with self-doubt. I see them as both challenging and conquering reality and these ideas echo through this body of work which has a lot to do with this conflicted state of change and uncertainty. A large, furry A-Frame structure bisects the space, creating a tunnel at the centre of the exhibition. Animated by light, it harbours a collection of cast aluminium objects including scaled- up items of cutlery, a moka pot and a series of enlarged ... More

Utopia. The Right to Hope at Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg WOLFSBURG.- We are currently experiencing an unprecedented period of polycrisis on a global scale: in addition to wars, worldwide refugee movements, and a growing loss of faith in democracies, the man-made climate catastrophe dominates the thoughts and actions of many. Beyond cynicism and apocalyptic mood, however, it should be possible to live together in solidarity and community as a basis for civilizational and ecological survival. In the first two decades of the twenty-first century, it is primarily artists who take up such ideas in their works and advance the discourse on possible utopias. The exhibition and publication project Utopia: The right to hope, initiated by the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, aims to give a sign of hope and confidence that a better and fairer life can be achieved for everyone on this planet. The aim is not to create a new grand design ... More

AGO celebrates legendary Canadian printmaker David Blackwood TORONTO.- David Blackwood’s (1941-2022) stirring depictions of Newfoundland’s once thriving outport culture made him a legend in Canada.

kunstencentrum nona presents Iván Zulueta: Through the Looking-Glass MECHELEN.- Best known for his 1979 cult film Arrebato, Iván Zulueta (1943–2009) was much more than a filmmaker. A visionary multidisciplinary artist, his oeuvre spans graphic design, experimental cinema, photography, television, and painting—each infused with a signature blend of surrealism, pop art, and a tactile sense of the ephemeral. Rooted in the countercultural movements of the 1960s and 1970s, his work merges avant-garde aesthetics with a deeply personal style, establishing Zulueta as one of the most innovative and influential figures in 20th-century Spanish art. The exhibition title, Iván Zulueta: Through the Looking-Glass, refers to Lewis Carroll’s 1871 novel in which Alice enters a fantastical world by climbing through a large mirror into a realm where things are reversed, including logic. The title evokes Zulueta’s fascination with the interplay between surface and depth, ... More
