The initial 100 scans released today on collection pages were produced in-house by the Met Imaging team. Additional 3D objects will be added to collection pages as they are created.
NEW YORK, NY.- The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced today that it is publishing more than 100 high-resolution 3D models of works of art from across the Museum's vast collection. All the newly produced scans are presented with precise color accuracy and exceptionally high fidelity and can be explored on The Met's website, where viewers can zoom in, rotate, and examine each model, bringing unprecedented access to significant works of art.

Highlights of the 3D models include a marble sarcophagus with lions felling antelope (3rd century); a statue of Horus ... More
The Musician, 2026, oil on canvas, 180 x 150 cm | 70.9 x 59 in.
PARIS.-Opera Gallery Paris will present ‘Inner Space’, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Zurich-based artist Andy Denzler, on view from 20 March to 15 April 2026. In this new series, Denzler pursues his examination of the human condition amid the disruptions of the digital age. The artist creates a world in which identity flickers between physical presence and digital echo, and the human figure is represented as a quiet archetype, absorbed in a private room, drifting through the echo of contemporary life. This new series also marks a notable evolution in the artist’s palette. Darker tones gradually give way to lighter hues—creams, Naples yellows, luminous greys—bringing a refined touch to the compositions while retaining a density inherited from classical painting. The paint itself remains in tension, oscillating between smooth surfaces and fragmentation, between emergence and ... More
Nomura 12in Yusei Kamen #2 battery-operated tin toy. All original, including the cape, and displaying exceptional condition. Estimate: $3,000-$4,000.
WILLOUGHBY, OHIO.- Antique toys have been on a roll over the past couple of years, with incredible rarities coming out of attics and basements to make their auction debuts. Every time a previously unknown or seldom-seen toy is unearthed and publicized, the collector market heats up. Milestone Auctions of suburban Cleveland, Ohio, will add even more fuel to the fire with an exciting March 14 sale of 664 premium-quality American, European and Japanese toys spanning 125 years of production. The impressive lineup of “most wanted” pieces is the culmination of many months of diligent “toy talk” by phone and email, and traveling to view collections, primarily across the United States but also beyond our shores. The variety is nothing short of amazing, with categories that include Japanese robots and space toys, windups, battery- ... More

WASHINGTON, DC.- In 1926, historian Carter G. Woodson established Negro History Week to raise awareness, correct misinformation and encourage a deeper study of African American history and culture. The observance, originally held the second week of February, evolved into Black History Month in 1976. Ten years later, Congress formally designated February as Black History Month, solidifying its nationwide recognition in educational and public spaces. In honor of Black History Month’s 2026 theme, “A Century of Black History Commemorations,” the Association of African American Museums (AAAM) invites everyone to support their local African American museums and forge ahead with Woodson’s mission to teach, study and celebrate the history and impact ...

NEW YORK, NY.- The Morgan Library & Museum announced the appointment of Dr. Joshua O’Driscoll as Melvin R. Seiden Curator and Department Head of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts, effective March 2, 2026. O’Driscoll joined the Morgan as Assistant Curator of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in 2015 and was promoted to Associate Curator in 2022. In his new role, O’Driscoll will oversee the care, study, exhibition, and interpretation of one of the world’s most significant collections of illuminated manuscripts dating from the fifth through the sixteenth centuries. The collection began when Pierpont Morgan started acquiring medieval manuscripts in the late nineteenth century. It now includes some 1,300 manuscripts and papyri, with a focus on Western European illuminated manuscripts in Latin and vernacular languages, with French, Italian, English, German, Flemish, and Dutch works forming the largest groups. The collection also features a smaller but notable selection of Armenia ... More
Luc Tuymans, Migrants, 2025. Oil on canvas, 36 7/8 x 40 3/4 inches (93.7 x 103.5 cm).
LOS ANGELES, CA.- David Zwirner opened an exhibition of new paintings by Belgian artist Luc Tuymans on view at the gallery’s 606 N Western Avenue location in Los Angeles. The Fruit Basket debuted at David Zwirner New York in November 2025, and this presentation marks the acclaimed artist’s first solo exhibition in LA. Collectively, the works on view consider the pervasive atmosphere of fracture that is specific to the United States at this moment. Foregrounding the highly mediated state of contemporary experience, Tuymans reinforces a growing sense of dissolution through varied subject matter and formal approaches. One of the most important painters working today, Tuymans pioneered a distinctive style of figurative painting beginning in the 1980s that has been singularly influential to his peers as well as subsequent generations of artists. Featuring subject matter that ranges from the mundane to the profound, the artist’s deeply resonant compositions insist on the power of images to simu ... More
ST LEONARDS ON SEA.- Timed to coincide with the publication of his new book Brian Aris/Celebrating George, published by Octopus on 9th April. The book and exhibition by world renowned photographer Brian Aris explores three decades photographing one of the greatest vocal performers of the 20th Century, George Michael. George Michael hated having his photo taken, which makes series of images such a special tribute. This stunning collection of photographs features iconic George Michael images throughout his career—including many never before published. The man born as Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou hated being photographed, and that makes this volume such an unusual and beautiful tribute to one of the music world’s most beloved stars. First meeting when he shot Wham!, Brian Aris gained George’s trust and subsequently enjoyed unprecedented access to document the complex and sensitive character behind one of pop’s most talented and consummate artists. Dreaming of stardom from an ... More
Mounira Al Solh artist portrait in the exhibition A land as big as her skin at Arnolfini, 2026. Photo: Remco Merbis. Courtesy of Arnolfini, Bristol.
BRISTOL.- Arnolfini presents A land as big as her skin, featuring the UK debut of A Dance with her Myth (2024), the Venice Biennale pavilion installation by Lebanese artist Mounira Al Solh — a radical feminist retelling of the myth of Europa that asks who gets to shape the story of Europe. At a time when questions of borders, migration and belonging continue to dominate political debate, Al Solh revisits the Phoenician tale of a princess abducted and carried across the sea, reframing it through contemporary histories of displacement and female agency. Born in Beirut and now living between Lebanon and the Netherlands, Al Solh grew up during the Lebanese civil war. Her work moves between personal memory and political history, weaving together ancient mythology and lived experience. Working across installation, painting, textiles and film, she explores migration, trauma, inequality and gender with irrepressible humour and visual intensity. At the heart of the exhibition is a life- ... More
Photograph of Gil Evans from the Lee Mergner Jazz Photography Collection within the Library of Congress Collection.
WASHINGTON, DC.- The Library of Congress has acquired the complete collection of music manuscripts of jazz bandleader, arranger, pianist and composer Gil Evans (1912-1988). Evans is widely remembered as one of the greatest orchestrators in the history of jazz – and is celebrated for his collaborations with legendary jazz trumpeter, composer and bandleader Miles Davis (1926-1991). Evans was inducted into the Downbeat Jazz Hall of Fame in 1986 and awarded the 1960 Grammy for Best Jazz Composition for “Sketches of Spain” (with Miles Davis), and a 1989 Grammy for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album for “Bud and Bird.” “It’s an honor and we are grateful that the Gil Evans hand-written scores, sketches and lead sheets have been placed at the Library of Congress, where his brilliant work will be preserved,” said Miles Evans, son of Gil Evans. “We are thrilled that scholars, researchers and musicians will be able to access his innovative masterpieces within the Music Div ...

Lower Cemetery. Tomb 306. Coxe Expedition Dra Abu el-Naga (Thebes), Egypt 1922-1923. (34944). Image: Penn Museum Archives.
PHILADELPHIA, PA.- Spotlighting century-old watercolor paintings by Egyptian artist Ahmed Yousef, Ancient Egypt in Watercolors: Paintings and Artifacts from Dra Abu el-Naga is on view at the Penn Museum. Last exhibited in Cairo during the 1920s, the watercolor paintings have been carefully preserved in the Penn Museum's Archives for more than 100 years. They have never been on display in the United States. Ancient Egypt in Watercolors reveals the often underappreciated, but critical function of art in archaeology. The 1,500 sq. ft. exhibition highlights elaborately decorated tomb chapels during the New Kingdom (approximately 1550 BCE-1070 BCE), a "golden age" that marked the height of Egypt's power and wealth. Many affluent officials built their tombs at Dra Abu el-Naga—a key part of the larger Theban Necropolis. Their tomb paintings show scenes from everyday life and imagery depicting the journey to the netherworld—illuminating how much the ancient Egyptians ... More
Jean-Baptiste Bernadet, Untitled (Fugue),2025. Oil and cold wax on canvas, 100 × 150 cm (39 ⅜ × 59 in).
VENICE.- The city of water—nowhere else does the brevity of love taste so sweet. This “vast sanatorium of silence and light,” as Marcel Proust called it, seamlessly blends illusion and disillusion. La Serenissima is pictorial by design—its shimmering reflections akin to the colorful artifice of both love and painting. In Breve amore, Jean-Baptiste Bernadet presents a new series of Fugues inspired by Venice’s endless “provisions of vision.” In a letter to Illan de Casa-Fuerte—an extraordinarily handsome Spanish marquis and translator born in Napoli—Proust evokes the silence of Venice. “Venetian silences,” he writes, “would be a beautiful title for melodies or piano pieces.” Evidently, it would also have made a fine title to accompany Bernadet’s musically inclined paintings as they made their way through canals and bridges. But that would have been too predictable for a Proustian painter, who revels in hybridity. And so, Mina&# ... More

Myriam Mihindou, Les eaux de pluie, 2024. Tracing paper, tissue paper, copper, tea, carbon, needles, bookmarks, thread, tea-soaked fabrics, ink, 145 x 107 cm.
LONDON.- Common Skin, Myriam Mihindou’s first solo exhibition in the UK, presents an overview of the Paris-based, French-Gabonese artist’s practice from 1999 to the present day, following her major survey Praesentia at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris and CRAC Occitanie, Sète (2024-2025). Rooted in the body, Mihindou’s work consists of material traces of what she has termed “ritualised creative processes”; concrete outputs or releases resulting from individual or collective performative actions. Common Skin aims to offer an insight into the language of Mihindou’s practice across sculpture, photography, collage and video. “I conceive of my plastic and visual works as sluice gates, or decompression chambers, that allow bodies to become restored, awoken, and healed.” Mihindou’s work, in its use of healing or ritually ...

Modular Frequency: Shepard Fairey debuts new geometric visions at Subliminal Projects LOS ANGELES, CA.- Subliminal Projects is presenting Modular Frequency, an exhibition by gallery founder Shepard Fairey. This show features eighteen new mixed-media works, highlighting the artist’s latest explorations in visual distillation and synthesis. Fairey merges imagery, symbols, and text into modular geometric compositions, creating a resonant visual language that bridges abstraction, design, and cultural commentary. For over three decades, modular, geometric, and patterned designs have been at the heart of Fairey’s practice, evolving from bold graphic-based street campaigns into intricate, layered mixed-media compositions. Drawing inspiration from Soviet Constructivism, Russian propaganda, and contemporary pop culture, Fairey organizes the chaos of pervasive imagery into structured forms. “I’m confronted with an overwhelming number of images and ...

Museum of Arts and Design presents porcelain murals bridging nature and the urban landscape by Alice Riehl NEW YORK, NY.- Fragile, luminous, and enduring, porcelain becomes a medium for rethinking plant life in the modern city in Alice Riehl’s Porcelain Florilegium, on view at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) from February 28 through October 12, 2026. The installation brings together four monumental wall murals—Timidité (2025), Dent-de-Lion (2024), Songe (2024), and Alter Ego (2022)—marking the first major U.S. museum presentation of Riehl’s work and underscoring MAD’s commitment to contemporary craft and material innovation. Riehl creates large-scale porcelain wall murals inspired by botanical imagery drawn from medieval and Renaissance tapestries, French decorative arts, mythology, and sustained observation of plant life. Her ... More
Paul Mpagi Sepuya's landmark Swiss debut opens at Fotomuseum Winterthur WINTERTHUR.- In his portraits and studio photographs, the US artist Paul Mpagi Sepuya blends sensual intimacy with visual precision. Working within the studio’s protected, private space, he constructs layered compositions through encounters with people from his creative and queer communities. By laying bare the act of photographing, Sepuya draws viewers into a sensuous tension between looking and desire. Paul Mpagi Sepuya (b. 1982) is known for the distinctive visual arrangements he creates in his studio, shaped through intimate encounters with friends, lovers, and close companions. His works insist on a queer and Black subject position in photography, without ever fully yielding to the gaze. Through the deliberate placement of mirrors, fabrics, and studio props, Sepuya stages an interplay of exposure and concealment: bodies and gazes are reflected, refracted, ... More
Works of transformation and wonder on show at 2026 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art ADELAIDE.- The 2026 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Yield Strength assembles twenty-four leading Australian artists with works that reveal how materials, selfhood and society are tested - and transformed - under pressure. Taking over multiple spaces at the Art Gallery of South Australia as well as partner venues Samstag Museum of Art and Adelaide Botanic Garden, the 2026 Adelaide Biennial showcases major new works across painting, sculpture, moving image, performance and installation. To connect with his Yawuru ancestral land, Robert Andrew’s kinetic drawing machine uses digital technology to reinstate the contours of Country onto AGSA’s gallery walls. Mounted to an armature, a screen displays drone footage of Yawuru Country, twisting and moving with the coastline while charcoal is slowly dragged across the length of the wall, in a moving ... More
Cristin Tierney Gallery announces representation of Debbi Kenote NEW YORK, NY.- Cristin Tierney Gallery announced the representation of Debbi Kenote. The artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery will open this April. Debbi Kenote is an abstract painter who lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Her upbringing on the West Coast of the United States exposed her to craft traditions such as woodworking and quilting, which remain influential to her process today. Having studied both painting and sculpture, she blends these traditions into her approach, threading the needle between the two media with her shaped canvases. Kenote handcrafts stretchers, transforming the conventional rectangular canvas into complex forms. Her work is also largely inspired by nostalgia, childhood memories, and her poetry practice. "In general, as I experience analytical moments in life, I gather them into the medium of poetry. Over time, these poems accumulate ... More
Stay Connected: Supplying the Globe opens at Tai Kwun Contemporary HONG KONG.- Tai Kwun Contemporary is proud to present Stay Connected: Supplying the Globe, the second chapter of the panoramic exhibition Stay Connected: Art and China Since 2008, curated by Dr Pi Li and Ying Kwok. Anchored in the new realities created by China’s unprecedented economic growth in the last four decades, artists re-examine the country’s role as the world’s centre for the production and logistics that sustain modern life. They give insight into the individual stories, family histories, and lesser-seen places impacted by globalization and economic transformation. Since the first industrial revolution of the late eighteenth century, rapid economic transformations have impacted traditional social structures and the natural environment. In China, the economic reforms beginning in the late 1970s brought more than 800 million people out of poverty. ... More
From SLABs to spacesuits: "Clutch City Craft" celebrates Houston's making legacy HOUSTON, TX.- Houston Center for Contemporary Craft is presenting Clutch City Craft, a major group exhibition examining the craft traditions and material cultures that have shaped Houston into one of the nation’s most formidable centers of making. Spanning both the front and main galleries at HCCC, the show features a wide spectrum of making practices, from the artists behind century-old, mosaic street signs to cowboy boot makers and fiber artists who design space suits and preserve the woven interiors of NASA mission control. HCCC Curator and Exhibition Director Sarah Darro notes, “Drawing its title from the city’s emblematic nickname—earned during the Houston Rockets’ back-to-back NBA championship wins in 1994 and 1995—this exhibition uses Clutch City as both a cultural ethos and curatorial framework to examine how skilled craftsmanship underpins Houston’s ...

Shedding the mask: Christopher Kelly unveils "Evisceration" at Ruup & Form LONDON.- Ruup & Form presents Evisceration by Christopher Kelly, a solo exhibition that brings the internal terrain of Kelly's neurodivergent experience into sculptural and spatial form. The exhibition marks the fifth chapter of Kelly’s long running project Interwoven, and represents a pivotal moment of exposure, clarity, and material resolve. Rooted in lived experience of Autism and Attention Deficit Disorder, Evisceration examines the gradual loosening and shedding of masking. Masking is understood here as the often-unconscious restructuring of self-required to navigate neurotypical environments. Through textile-based sculpture, installation, and furniture scale works, Kelly renders these internal negotiations visible, tactile, and spatially present. Working with crochet, macramé, weaving, and natural or repurposed materials, Kelly constructs form that oscillate ... More
