NEW YORK, NY.- Gagosian, in partnership with Castelli Gallery, opened an exhibition of historic works by Jasper Johns at the 980 Madison Avenue gallery from January 22 to March 14, 2026. This exhibition surveys the crosshatch paintings and drawings that dominated his practice from 1973 to 1983 and have reverberated across his subsequent production. It unites works that have rarely been seen with loans from sources including distinguished American museums. Commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of this body of work’s debut at Castelli Gallery in 1976, it also bookends Gagosian’s occupancy of its flagship gallery at 980 Madison Avenue, which opened in 1989 with an exhibition of the Map paintings. Johns is lending major works from his own collection to the exhibition, including paintings on long-term loan to the Art Institute of Chicago; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; and Philadelphia Art Museum. Other notable lenders include The Broad, Los Angeles; Museum of Modern Art, New York; an ... More

Installed in the Engadin, the work responds to light, climate, and scale without imposing itself on the landscape.
SILS MARIA.- The Luma Foundation presents STRIP TOWER (962), 2023, a large-scale outdoor sculpture by Gerhard Richter at Lake Silvaplana in Sils Maria, Engadin. On view from 27 January 2026 for an initial period of three years, the work forms part of Elevation 1049, extending the project into the Alpine landscape. Based on Richter’s Strip Paintings (from 2010), STRIP TOWER (962) translates his exploration of painting, photography, digital processes, and abstraction into three dimensions. Eight interlocking panels clad in brightly striped ceramic tiles rise over five metres, forming a cross-shaped interior that visitors can enter. Immersed in shifting fields of colour and light, they encounter a work that engages perception and materiality while entering into dialogue with the Alpine landscape of Sils Maria— ... More
onewith x Claire Buckley Capsule Collection.
NEW YORK, NY.- Launching January 30, onewith unveils a new capsule collection created in collaboration with Brooklyn-based painter Claire Buckley, translating her luminous, abstract artwork into wearable form. Buckley, known for her ethereal, light-driven paintings that blur the line between dreamscape and emotion, brings one of her signature works, Wonderwave, to life on the body. The result is a swim collection that feels less like apparel and more like moving canvas: prism-like pastels, fluid color, and soft psychedelia designed to interact with light, water, and movement. Printed on onewith’s signature second-skin swimwear, Buckley’s artwork retains its painterly depth while adapting to the contours of the body. The collaboration reflects a shared philosophy between artist and brand: comfort, freedom, and expression without constraint. Crafted with onewith’s patented, ... More

More than a building, the Samuel Oschin Global Center for Ice Age Research will be a research-and program-driven entity woven ... More
FRANKFURT.- Jan Schmidt’s artistic practice focuses on processes in which material, action, time, and chance are interwoven. His works emerge from clearly defined interventions–sawing, throwing, repeating–that leave traces behind. A work appears in Schmidt’s practice as a constellation of relationships: between raw material and intervention, between movement and resistance, between planning and the material’s response. In Dust and Pieces, these considerations condense into a spatial constellation. At the center of the exhibition is a wall installation of saw drawings. Schmidt saws into a block of steel. The resulting filings fall onto a sheet of moistened handmade paper. After 48 hours in a climate chamber with high humidity, the filings bond with the paper. Each cut produces a drawing. The block moves successively from left to right across the sheets. Two hundred and forty-eight sheets bear the traces of this process as an inscription of time, force, and material behavior ... More

410 million year-old fossil, Prototaxites, discovered in Rhynie, Aberdeenshire. Photo: Neil Hanna.
EDINBURGH.- A 410 million year-old fossil from Aberdeenshire in Scotland which scientists have identified as being a ‘new’ form of life, distinct from plants or fungi, has been added to the collections of National Museums Scotland. The genus ‘Prototaxites’ had previously been thought to be an early type of fungus. However, in a new paper published in Science Advances, researchers from the University of Edinburgh and National Museums Scotland have shown that this fossil is from an evolutionary path of large complex life which is neither fungus nor plant, and which died out around 360 million years ago. The fossil comes from the Rhynie chert, a uniquely preserved prehistoric terrestrial ecosystem named for the nearby village of Rhynie. Prototaxites was the largest organism on land 410 million years ago. Growing as high as eight metres, it towered ... More

The auctioneer, Adrien Meyer taking bids for Frederic Remington's masterpiece, Coming to the Call, which achieved $13,285,000, breaking the world record for a Remington that had been set 14 minutes prior in the same sale.
NEW YORK, NY.- It was an unprecedented trove of masterpieces and it shattered records. Seven lots into the sale was enough to break the world record for a work by Frederic Remington. Nine lots into the sale was enough to break the world record for a single-owner sale of Western Art. Eleven lots into the sale and the record for a Remington that had just been set 14 minutes before, was broken once again. The sale broke five artist records, and when the bidding ended, Visions of the West: The William I. Koch Collection totaled $84,122,305 – more than three times the prior record for a single-owner Western Art auction.

PARIS.- Galleria Continua / Paris Matignon is presenting Fragments de ville (Fragments of the city), a group exhibition bringing together major artists whose practices each, in their own way, examine the city as a space of memory, social transformation, and individual projection. The exhibition explores the intimate relationship these artists maintain with urbanity, in which the city appears both as a reflection of social mutations and conflicts, and as an object of silent contemplation. Far from offering a unified vision, Fragments de ville proposes a plural reading of the city as a dynamic place, shaped by movement and change. The creative environments specific to each artist shape this collective reflection. Cuba, with its unique political and architectural history, deeply influences the works of Alejandro Campins and Osvaldo González. Ukraine, marked by Russian imperialist aggression and the devastation of war, lies at the heart of Zhanna Kadyrova’s inquiries. Moataz Nasr, originally ... More

Opposite Knots: Henna Vainio's ceramic sculptures deconstruct the deception of language SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Casemore Gallery is presenting Opposite Knots, Henna Vainio’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition brings together new ceramic word stacks, woven forms, and sculptural wall constructions that transform language into fragile, interdependent structures. These forms fold, trap, and contradict themselves much as words and specific phrases do in everyday life. Vainio’s recent work centers on language as a physical and political material. Words such as win, no, anti-age, and tender change are stacked, repeated, and woven into dense sculptural knots in which meaning becomes unstable. As letters accumulate, they begin to slip away from their original messages, becoming objects in their own right. In these works, language no longer moves forward in a straight line but loops back on itself, creating systems where opposites ... More
Historic Africa Hall in Addis Ababa awarded 2026 World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism Prize NEW YORK, NY.- World Monuments Fund and Knoll announced today that the Australia-based architecture firm Architectus has won the 2026 World Monuments Fund / Knoll Modernism Prize for its dynamic conservation of the United Nations’ Historic Africa Hall in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The acclaimed restoration reestablishes one of the most significant works of African modernism as a critical venue for diplomacy and culture. The award will be formally presented during a special program at Modernism Week in Palm Springs, California, on February 18, 2026. “Modern architecture captures some of the most ambitious ideas of the twentieth century, but its innovations also render these buildings vulnerable to the passage of time,” said Bénédicte de Montlaur, President and CEO of World Monuments Fund. “Our Modernism Program and the World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism ...

Marinella Senatore brings participatory solo exhibition to Cavalese CAVALESE.- Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Cavalese presents There is so much we can learn from the sun, a solo exhibition by Marinella Senatore, the most internationally recognized contemporary Italian artist today, capable of engaging and moving the energy of thousands of people without ever losing that poetic dimension in which it is possible to find oneself as a narrator. The exhibition project, curated by Elsa Barbieri, blurs the boundary between art and life. "This also happened in Cavalese, where Marinella Senatore met a group of residents, children, adults, and seniors in October, cultivating, all together, participation, which is both the process and the result of change. The two workshops, spent comparing and sharing thoughts, ideas, suggestions, mottos, and inspirations on the sense of community, emphasized the extraordinary power of art to emancipate ... More
Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein presents its 2026 exhibition programme VADUZ.- Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein announced its 2026 exhibition programme. The 2026 programme is devoted to fundamental questions facing society. In times of immense and disconcerting change, this seems of particular relevance. At the same time, the programme is infused with a subtle, mostly self-reflective humour that makes complex topics more accessible and opens up new forms of narration. The participating artists operate with a keen sense for the ruptures of our time: experiences that mark people’s lives in contradictory, polarised or even repressive systems. Unlocking new worlds of imagination and challenging established views, they keep close to the reality of life. —Christiane Meyer-Stoll, Director Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein Marie-Antoinette Chiarenza (b. 1957 in Tunis, Tunisia) and Daniel Hauser (b. 1959 in Bern, Switzerland) began collaborating in 1983 ...

Shen Han captures the permeability of Mallorca in new exhibition at Kewenig PALMA DE MALLORCA .- The title of this exhibition unfolds from a month of presence in Mallorca. During July, Shen Han inhabited the island at its most saturated—when heat thickens the air, bodies multiply, and the coastline is no longer a line but a continuous crossing. This is the season when the place opens completely: days stretch, borders soften, and the sea becomes a passage rather than a threshold. The land is no longer held apart by water; it is touched, entered, consumed. What was once peripheral becomes central, exposed, almost weightless under the pressure of attention. The works gathered here are shaped by walking, waiting, and listening. His paintings are created through an intuitive and physical process. Each painting emerges from movement rather than premeditation, creating compositions that feel both deliberate and fleeting. ... More
NYU's Grey Art Museum presents first U.S. survey of Australia's most iconic Aboriginal art movement NEW YORK, NY.- NYU’s Grey Art Museum hosts the landmark traveling exhibition Irriṯitja Kuwarri Tjungu: Contemporary Aboriginal Painting from the Australian Desert, the first U.S. survey of Australia’s most globally recognized Aboriginal art movement. For the past five decades, Papunya Tula Artists—the oldest Aboriginal-owned arts organization in Australia—has stood at the forefront of contemporary Aboriginal art, producing some of the most iconic art and artists in the nation’s history. Inspired by the sweeping ancestral landscape of the Australian desert, the exhibition celebrates one of the world’s greatest stories of resilience, self-determination, and the power of art.

Paul Anthony Smith makes London solo debut at Timothy Taylor LONDON.- Timothy Taylor opened Lands Abroad, the gallery’s debut solo exhibition of work by Paul Anthony Smith in London. Centring on two bodies of work, the ongoing Dreams Deferred and the new Jamaica Paintings, the exhibition presents recent paintings alongside a group of works on paper, marking the artist’s first engagement with the medium. Together, these works examine postcolonial cultural identity, diaspora, and landscape. In his work, Smith examines the landscape through the lens of intersecting, and often competing, cultural narratives. Drawing on his experiences of home in Jamaica, where he was born, and the United States, where he has spent much of his life, he considers how belonging, exclusion, migration, and travel shape our relationship to both built and natural environments. Inspired by the work of Jamaican British ... More
Swiss Pavilion at the Venice Biennale presents The Unfinished Business of Living Together VENICE.- The Swiss Pavilion at the 61st International Venice Biennale presents The Unfinished Business of Living Together, an exhibition conceived by curators Gianmaria Andreetta and Luca Beeler together with artist Nina Wakeford, and developed in collaboration with artists Miriam Laura Leonardi, Lithic Alliance, and Yul Tomatala. The Unfinished Business of Living Together takes coexistence as both a social promise and a contested form. The project mobilises art to reopen the archive as a site of active dispute and engagement. The project begins with voices featured in an April 1978 episode of the Swiss public television programme Telearena, in which the so-called “problem of homosexuality' was debated publicly and controversially on live television. This broadcast marked one of the first occasions when individuals identifying as homosexual gained ... More

On a day like today, French painter and poet Francis Picabia was born
January 22, 1879. Francis Picabia (22 January 1879 - 30 November 1953) was a French avant-garde painter, writer, filmmaker, magazine publisher, poet, and typographist closely associated with Dada. When considering the many styles that Picabia painted in, observers have described his career as "shape-shifting" or "kaleidoscopic". After experimenting with Impressionism and Pointillism, Picabia became associated with Cubism. He was one of the early major figures of the Dada movement in the United States and in France before denouncing it in 1921. He was later briefly associated with Surrealism, but would soon turn his back on the art establishment. In this image: Francis Picabia, Colloque (Colloquium), 1949.
