Dr. Jill Deupi (Lowe Art Museum at University of Miami) with the artist Petah Coyne.
CORAL GABLES, FLA.- The Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami proudly presents “Petah Coyne: How Much A Heart Can Hold,” on view now through March 14, 2026. Several of these works are on tour for the first time. “Petah Coyne reminds what it is to be human — heart, body, mind, and soul,” says Dr. Jill Deupi, the Beaux Arts Director and Chief Curator of the Lowe Art Museum. “This remarkable exhibition invites us into a wonderland of physical forms whose manifold sources of inspiration are as broad as they are compelling. The viewer leaves the show feeling not only newly inspired, but also newly alive through her work,” adds Dr. Deupi. The exhibition highlights Coyne’s fascination with female identity and her deep reverence for underrecognized women writers and historical figures, and is organized into three thematic sections ...

An elusive Ober (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) nickel-plated ‘Clown with Crooked Hat’ still bank, 6½in tall and graded Excellent-Near Mint, delivered an auction surprise, rising to $15,000 against an estimate of $400-$800.
WILLOUGHBY, OHIO.- You never know what will happen at an auction, and the latest case to prove that point was Milestone’s December 6 Winter Premier sale featuring antique toys, banks and high-quality vintage collectibles. The 633-lot selection chalked up $670,000 in sales, with several pieces well surpassing expectations and one “sleeper” rising from its “long winter’s nap” to command a price that was a staggering 51 times its high estimate. While undeniably beautiful, the group lot consisting of 20 Victorian-era 3-dimensional pop-up Christmas cards harbored additional hidden value that probably would not have been recognized except by bidders with a deep involvement in Christmas antiques, ...

Ketty La Rocca , J with dot (3 dimensions), 1970. Pvc plastic. 117 x 50 x 11 cm (46.06 x 19.69 x 4.33 in)
MILAN.- Thaddaeus Ropac Milan presents as its second exhibition an unprecedented dialogue between VALIE EXPORT and Ketty La Rocca , two of the most visionary feminist conceptual artists to emerge in Europe during the 1960s. Both artists used their bodies as tools to challenge language’s patriarchal function and expose the dichotomy between its usage in public and private space. They recognised that in order to convey their ideas an expanded field of action was required and moved beyond the constraints of a single medium. Photography, video, sculpture and performance were treated by both artists as fluid and permeable. In the 1960s, our attempts to cultivate a direct and uncontrolled language in art were based upon the idea that the dominant language was a form of manipulation. The plan was to circumvent these forms of social control. [...] This was the strength of the female body: to be able to express directly and without ... More

Their works are on view in the Sigg Prize 2025 exhibition, presented with pieces by four other shortlisted artists in The Studio, on view with free entry until 4 January 2026. In the Sigg Prize 2025 exhibition, Wong Ping’s video installation Debts in the Wind (2025) takes shape in a playful mini theatre decorated with artificial turf, hairy golf balls, and a flagpole. His distinctive animated vocabulary and sharp humour invite audiences to reflect on the current times while exploring layered narratives in his imaginative world. Wong Ping says, ‘Making art often means facing unease, uncertainty, and ambiguity. Winning the Sigg Prize feels like a soothing remedy. It calmed my mind just enough to let me step into the ... More

PARIS.- Gagosian announced The House on Utopia Parkway: Joseph Cornell’s Studio Reimagined by Wes Anderson, an exhibition conceived by curator Jasper Sharp and the acclaimed American filmmaker. It brings the artist’s New York studio to the heart of Paris, transforming the storefront gallery at 9 rue de Castiglione into a meticulously staged tableau—part time capsule, part life-size shadow box—for the first solo presentation of Cornell’s work in Paris in more than four decades. Joseph Cornell (1903–1972) could not draw, paint, or sculpt, and received no formal art education, yet he produced one of the most original and extraordinary bodies of work of any artist in the twentieth century. Though he never left the United States, the city of Paris ... More

WARSAW.- Two concurrent exhibitions, The Woman Question 1550–2025 and The City of Women, launch MSN Warsaw’s second year of operations in its new building. Nearly 200 women artists from around the world, from Artemisia Gentileschi and Angelika Kauffmann, through Tamara Łempicka, Frida Kahlo and Eva Hesse, to Marlene Dumas, Tracey Emin, Leonor Antunes, Yoko Ono and Tala Madani. Five centuries of art by women, a display of their commitment and the force of feminist initiatives—The Woman Question and The City of Women offer a fresh retelling of art history, leading to a revision of the so-called canon and undermining the accepted view that before the 20th century women artists were rare exceptions. The Woman Question was prepared by the curator and art historian Alison M. Gingeras, who is familiar to MSN Warsaw audiences from the hugely successful show The Dark Arts: Aleksandra Waliszewska and Symbolism which she co-curated.

It is curated by Inês Grosso, Chief Curator of the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art. The exhibition’s title, Fun ist ein Stahlbad, draws from Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer’s book The Dialectic of Enlightenment (1947), in which the philosophers argue that “fun” in the modern world ceases to function as a space ...

Save Venice funds restoration of Pordenone frescoes in Treviso Cathedral's Malchiostro Chapel VENICE.- Following the 2021 conservation of Titian’s Annunciation altarpiece in the Malchiostro Chapel of Treviso Cathedral, Save Venice is now funding the restoration of the chapel’s wall frescoes by Pordenone, made possible through the generous support of Arnold M. Bernstein in honor of William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Giovanni Antonio de’ Sacchis, known as Pordenone after his birthplace, frescoed the Malchiostro Chapel following his transformative artistic journey to Rome (c. 1516–1519). There, he absorbed the influence of Raphael, Sebastiano del Piombo, and Michelangelo, refining his dynamic and expressive style. Malchiostro’s commission provided Pordenone with his first opportunity to channel his newly acquired Roman inspirations, marking a pivotal moment in his rise as one of northern Italy’s leading painters. The fresco campaign also sparked ... More

More than 40 UAE-based artists featured in PROXIMITIES at Seoul Museum of Art SEOUL.- The Seoul Museum of Art and Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation presents PROXIMITIES, spotlighting contemporary art from the United Arab Emirates. PROXIMITIES features more than forty UAE-based artists, including 33 Emiratis, across three generations—a Gulf nation shaped by the convergences of migration, natural abundance, and rapid urban transformation since its foundation half a century ago. Through three sections, collaboratively developed with artist-curators, the exhibition explores what happens when unstable and subjective worlds—personal, social, urban—come into contact. Scaling from the domestic and imaginary to the geopolitical and the elemental, the artists and curators ask how we can exist in nearness without collapsing into sameness. In today’s interconnected world, we are configured into proximities that exceed what geography ... More

Tuan Andrew Nguyen awarded 2026 High Line Plinth commission NEW YORK, NY.- The High Line today announced the selection of Tuan Andrew Nguyen’s The Light That Shines Through The Universe as the next High Line Plinth commission, to be installed in Spring 2026. Paying poignant homage to the 6th-century Bamiyan Buddhas of central Afghanistan, Nguyen reimagines one of the pair of ancient, colossal statues that were tragically destroyed by the Taliban in an act of iconoclasm 25 years ago. The monument takes its name from the larger of the two, which the locals had nicknamed Salsal, which means “the light shines through the universe.” The work is not an exact replica of Salsal, but rather an echo, intended to invoke the memory of these lost cultural treasures. Tuan Andrew Nguyen’s artistic practice is rooted in memory, history, and the enduring impact of conflict and violence, particularly in his native Vietnam. In his ... More
Claire Tabouret opens the doors to Notre-Dame's future stained glass at the Grand Palais PARIS.- When Claire Tabouret speaks about her latest project, there is a sense of quiet awe mixed with responsibility. Few contemporary artists are asked to contribute to a monument as symbolically charged as Notre-Dame de Paris. Yet with D’un seul souffle (In a Single Breath), presented at Gallery 10.2 of the Grand Palais, Tabouret invites the public into the very heart of this rare commission—while it is still unfolding. The exhibition reveals the full-scale mock-ups, sketches, and preparatory works for six contemporary stained-glass windows that will eventually be installed in the south aisle of Notre-Dame’s nave. Selected in December 2024, Tabouret was named the winner of a major consultation led by the French Ministry of Culture, in collaboration with the historic Simon-Marq workshop, one of the most respected stained-glass ateliers in France.
