This third edition of Fibration centers on the emotional tension between upheaval and optimism, a timely reflection on a world shaped by war, migration, political rupture, and shifting identities. Subtitled Anxiety and Hope, the exhibition invites viewers into an immersive environment where softness collides with sharp critique, and threads become instruments of resistance. In a world increasingly defined by uncertainty and upheaval, Fibration III: Anxiety and Hope invites viewers to slow down, look closer, and feel ... More

MARFA, TX.- Following a seven-year restoration and rebuilding, Judd Foundation will reopen Donald Judd’s Architecture Office to the public on September 20, 2025. The Architecture Office is the first major building project to be completed in Judd Foundation’s long-term restoration plan for its buildings in Texas and will open with a weekend of programs centered on Judd’s architectural work. The Architecture Office is one of eleven Judd-associated buildings in Marfa recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. The restoration was halted in 2021 by a fire that consumed much of the building’s central interior and roof structure. After a multidisciplinary team saved and shored up what remained, work began again. This final effort incorporates adaptions to the ... More

CHESTNUT HILL, MASS.- The McMullen Museum of Art at Boston College is presenting three exclusive exhibitions this fall, which showcase Medieval and Renaissance Italian paintings from a renowned private collection, many unseen publicly since the nineteenth century; and from the Museum’s permanent collection, outstanding Belgian landscape paintings, and 1950s–1960s photographs by the late Nobel Prize-winning theoretical chemist Martin Karplus.

Globally recognized art historian and former Smithsonian leader selected for Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director role.
MILWAUKEE, WI.- The Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) announced today that Kim Sajet has been selected as the organization’s next Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director. Kim Sajet is a museum leader and arts advocate, and until recently was the director of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.

NEW YORK, NY.- Tanya Bonakdar Gallery is presenting What else did I see?, an exhibition of new work by Rodrigo Hernández. This is the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery. Rodrigo Hernández works across drawing, painting, relief, sculpture and installation, to create a personal constellation of images. His fantastical visual lexicon is rooted in a wide and distinctive range of sources: from Mexican pre-Columbian art to Japanese prints, from European modernism to science and literature. As in dreams, disparate scenes and sights are interwoven in surreal images, inviting the viewer to imagine new possibilities and uncover mysterious connections. Simmering with the emotional power of subconscious memory, Hernández’s works are suffused with the attraction of the unknown. His touchstones of poetry and philosophy frame his work within a broader epistemological and psychological exploration. For Hernández, an exhibition often begins with an anecdote or question, often inspired by literary an ... More
BERN.- The German-Venezuelan artist Gego (1912 in Hamburg – 1994 in Caracas) – birth name Gertrud Goldschmidt – was one of the pioneers of modern art in Latin America. She is known for her filigree, net-like drawings, sculptures and installations. From
20 September 2025 until 18 January 2026, in the context of the presentation of works from the collection Kosmos Klee, the Zentrum Paul Klee is holding the artist’s first solo exhibition in Switzerland, featuring drawings, watercolours, prints and selected sculptures.

She was one of the last Jewish university graduates to receive a degree in Nazi Germany. In 1939 the rapid intensification of anti- ... More

WEST PALM BEACH, FLA.- The Norton Museum of Art announces the exhibition Art and Life in Rembrandt’s Time: Masterpieces from The Leiden Collection, a presentation of more than 70 works by 27 artists from The Leiden Collection — one of the world’s most important private collections of 17th-century Dutch art.

It will also offer a rare opportunity to contemplate exceptional works spanning the full career arc of the groundbreaking Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn. With 17 of Rembrandt ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Bienvenu Steinberg & C will present the first New York gallery exhibition of French artist Jean Degottex (1918 - 1988). Jean Degottex is regarded as one of the most rigorous and poetic figures of postwar French abstraction. Initially considered close to the movement of lyrical abstraction and endorsed by André Breton, he soon followed his own singular path, one defined by successive cycles of research that consistently pushed the boundaries of painting. From gesture to sign, from sign to writing to the ascetic purity of the line, Degottex tirelessly explored the limits of form and language, developing a minimalist practice infused with sensitivity and spiritual resonance. His early paintings embody a meditation on presence and absence, silence and plenitude, rigor and freedom. Like his generational peer, Simon Hantaï, Degottex directly engaged the materiality of the painterly support, and he became a strong inspiration for his younger colleagues in Supports/ ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Americas Society presents Amazonia Açu, an exhibition that sheds light on the multiplicities of the Amazon, a region which comprises many different communities each distinguished by its own belief system, culture, and language. On view from September 3, 2025 to April 18, 2026, the show includes paintings, textiles, ceramics, drawings, videos, photographs, and sculptures from artists and collectives of all nine countries of the Pan-Amazon region: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Amazonia Açu will feature over fifty contemporary artworks, from 1990 to the present. The exhibition provides a kaleidoscopic overview of the aesthetic, cultural, and material diversity found in the Amazon as a means to upend flattening generalizations typically associated with the territory and to frame the discourse surrounding the region within a contemporary context. “The ‘Amazonia Açu’ — the latter a Tupi-Guaraní ...

Christie's Paris opens 'Dinh Van, 60 Years of Freedom and Creation' PARIS.- From 3 to 13 September, Christie's is hosting a retrospective paying tribute to the jeweler Dinh Van on the occasion of the company he founded 60 years ago, curated by the jewellery historian Vanessa Cron. Bringing together heritage pieces, iconic jewels and archive documents, the exhibition will provide an opportunity to rediscover Jean Dinh Van's revolutionary creations.

The exhibition at Christie's will be complemented by the publication of Jewelry Sculptor by Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter, published by Editions Flammarion, while a film and two re-editions of emblematic pieces of jewellery complete the House's tribute to the iconoclastic, ...

Exhibition explores the state of suspension that follows exile VENICE.- A collective exhibition presented at The Human Safety Net, Piazza San Marco, featuring works by Leila Alaoui, Ange Leccia, Anouk Maugein, Lorraine de Sagazan, Sarah Makharine, and a large-scale installation inspired by JR’s Inside Out project, that will be displayed on the façade of the Procuratie in September. What becomes of dreams when one leaves their homeland? What happens to memories, languages, and bonds when we are thrown into the uncertainty of displacement? The exhibition Dreams in Transit explores the state of suspension that follows exile: a fragile moment between a vanishing past and a future yet to be reassembled. Between migration and reconstruction, the artists gathered here trace the contours of an imaginary in motion — where memory converses with waiting, and borders shift to the rhythm of hope. Ange Leccia presents a poetic ... More
Jeu de Paume to open new exhibition Luc Delahaye: The Echo of the World PARIS.- Jeu de Paume will dedicate a major monographic exhibition to Luc Delahaye (b. in Tours in 1962), presenting his photographic work between 2001 and 2025. This decisive period in his career coincides with his increasing distance from photojournalism and his commitment to the field of art. A prominent war photojournalist in the 1990s and a former member of the Magnum agency, he is part of a generation of photographers who re-examined the articulation between documentary practices and an artistic dimension. For twenty-five years, his photographs, most often in large format and in colour, have offered a glimpse of the ills of the contemporary world. From the Iraq War to the Ukraine War, from Haiti to Libya, from the OPEC conferences to the COP, Delahaye explores the echo of the world and the institutions supposed to regulate it. Sometimes produced ... More

Hartwig Art Foundation presents premiere of Minor Music at the End of the World by Saidiya Hartman AMSTERDAM.- How does one live at the end of the world? Is it possible to envision a world without racism? And what would be required to create such a world? Minor Music at the End of the World is a stage adaptation in three movements based on writer and scholar Saidiya Hartman’s acclaimed essays, The End of White Supremacy and Litany for Grieving Sisters. The texts draw inspiration from W.E.B. Du Bois’s The Comet, a speculative short story written in the aftermath of the 1918 global pandemic and imagining the end of the world. The collaboratively developed stage performance explores the possibility of Black life at the end of the world and in the wake of racial capitalism and white supremacy. Against this complex and layered backdrop, Minor Music conveys an ongoing series of catastrophes that converge at this critical inflection point—among others, ... More
Alison Bradley Projects opens a three-person exhibition NEW YORK, NY.- Alison Bradley Projects presents Form of Content, a three-person exhibition featuring paintings by Tadaaki Kuwayama alongside ceramic works by Yuji Ueda, and Anna Gleeson. Together, the works explore how form, structure, and material embody meaning—whether through the rigor of Minimalist abstraction, the elemental force of clay, or the immediacy of touch. A pioneering figure in Minimalism, Tadaaki Kuwayama (b. 1932, Nagoya, Japan; d. 2023, New York) moved to New York in 1958 and developed a practice that sought to strip painting of subjectivity, gesture, and illusion. His aluminum and canvas panels, articulated by precise divisions and fields of pure color, exemplify an uncompromising pursuit of clarity. Over six decades, Kuwayama’s insistence on objectivity expanded the possibilities of abstraction and secured his place as one of the movement’s ... More

On a day like today, German artist Oskar Schlemmer was born
September 04, 1888. Oskar Schlemmer (4 September 1888 - 13 April 1943) was a German painter, sculptor, designer and choreographer associated with the Bauhaus school. In 1923, he was hired as Master of Form at the Bauhaus theatre workshop, after working at the workshop of sculpture. His most famous work is Triadisches Ballett (Triadic Ballet), which saw costumed actors transformed into geometrical representations of the human body in what he described as a "party of form and colour". In this image: Costumes from Schlemmer's Triadisches Ballett (1922).
