Christie's London - Johnny Marr's Guitars pre sale exhibition 9-17 Sept
LONDON.- A dream opportunity that has captured the hearts and imaginations of fans, collectors and music aficionados around the globe, the gavel has gone down on the final lot in Christie's auction Marr's Guitars: The Johnny Marr Collection. The 111 lot sale realised a total of £3,649,280 – more than tripling the estimate. A fitting tribute to the most influential guitarist of his generation, the auction welcomed registrants from 34 countries, with 81% new to Christie's, who bid passionately throughout, from the lowest priced lots offered through to the iconic guitars, resulting in the sale lasting over 5 hours. Opening in style, following a video screened with Johnny Marr and Noel Gallagher riffing on their favourites, fierce competition was evident from the outset with lot 1 selling for more than seven times the estimate. This was swiftly followed by Johnny Marr's 1982 Rickenbacker 330 Jetglo - for many fans, the guitar most strongly associated with Johnny Marr's melodic Smiths-era sound ... More

AMSTERDAM.- With André de Jong and His Theater, The Merchant House presents new works by the distinguished Dutch artist André de Jong (b. 1947). His fifth major exhibition at TMH, it reflects one of the most prolific periods of his career—which has encompassed drawing as well as photography, sculpture, and land art—and poses the question: What is it about drawing, above all, that has continued to fascinate André de Jong for over five decades? We see unquestionable value in de Jong’s works, which seem to defy the limits of the line’s graphic force. For de Jong, the value is in his method: “I enact a performance, grab a sketchbook…” Taking the theatrical to heart, the installation for André de Jong and His Theater fills the walls of the gallery with unframed, overflowing paper panels from his new body-landscape series and other drawings. The effect is double, as always with de Jong: the drawings belong toget ... More
Peerless example of 15in-tall Machine Man, the rarest and most sought-after of Masudaya’s legendary battery-operated Gang of Five robots. Made in 1960. Estimate: $60,000-$80,000.
WILLOUGHBY, OHIO.- As their auction catalog testifies, page after page, Milestone’s toy team reached for the top shelf in selecting the lineup of superstars for their October 17 Premier Antique & Vintage Toy Auction. Milestone’s co-owner Miles King traveled from coast to coast several times this year, visiting quietly-held private collections that he described as “very low profile, but very high quality.” He returned with some of the finest consignments his Ohio-based company has handled since they first opened for business 12 years ago. “I think collectors are going to be thrilled when they see what’s in this sale,” King said. “There are prototypes, toys never before seen at auction, and some toys so rare that only one or two others are known to exist. The Marklin sample steam plant, which is massive in size and actually works, is one ... More
Stella's first steps in the medium involved mastering traditional techniques.
NEW YORK, NY.- Christie's Prints and Multiples Department announced a sale dedicated to the printing practice of twentieth century icon, Frank Stella, consigned by the artist's estate. The sale comprises 65 lots ranging in scale, technique, and formal composition, and acts as a survey of his most inventive and innovative works in the medium. Estimates range from $3,000 to $80,000. The online auction is open from September 24 - October 22, with highlights on view at Christie's Rockefeller Center from September 25 – 30 and October 16 – 20. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Stella's relationship with printmaking became inseparable from his identity as an artist. As he put it late in his career, “the prints are in all of my work.” This was despite the fact that he began as a reluctant convert: printmaking, he once said, was a chore “not very different from walking the dogs.” That changed in 1967, ...

PARIS.- From 19-24 October, during Art Basel Paris, Sotheby's and _POLIMENO will present Chez Sotheby's, a living environment that brings together art, dining and cultural exchange within an extraordinary Parisian apartment. Neither an exhibition nor a restaurant in the conventional sense, it will showcase exceptional works of Modern, Post-War and Contemporary Art in a setting designed for gathering, discovery and dialogue. Located on Rue de Rivoli, overlooking the Jardin des Tuileries and steps from both Art Basel Paris and Sotheby's Paris, Chez Sotheby's reimagines a long European tradition in which collecting is as much about gathering as it is about acquiring. For one week only, it will become part of the rhythm of Paris: a destination between openings and appointments where connections are forged and discoveries happen naturally. Conceived collaboratively by Sotheby's and _POLIMENO, Chez Sotheby's brings together Sotheby's expertise in sourcing exceptional works of art with the creative v ... More

HONG KONG.- On view through 27 September, PSYCHO: Identity Alienation Shadow Duality examines the tensions, desires and contradictions that lie beneath the surface of modern life. Drawing on the psychological language of cinema and literature, the exhibition explores how obsession, vanity, fear and ambition can fuel artistic innovation while revealing the darker realities concealed behind outward appearances. Bringing together an exceptional group of works from around the world, PSYCHO features museum-quality loans from important private collections alongside major highlights from Sotheby's Modern & Contemporary Art Evening and Day Auctions on 28 - 29 September.

Elisabeth Jerichau Bauman's 'Portrait of Margrethe Lehmann', c. 1853, under restoration at Kunstkonserveringen.
NIVA, DENMARK.- Nivaagaards Malerisamling is expanding the story told by its 19th-century galleries with the addition of two works by women artists whose careers unfolded at a time when access to professional artistic life was still sharply limited by gender. Beginning September 19, 2026, the museum will present newly acquired paintings by Bolette Puggaard and Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann in a focused display within its permanent collection. The works, Italian Landscape by Puggaard and Portrait of Margrethe Lehmann, painted around 1853 by Jerichau Baumann, have recently undergone conservation and will be shown at the museum for the first time. Their arrival marks an important step for a collection that has been working to strengthen the representation of women artists in its historic holdings. In 2025, Nivaagaards Malerisamling acquired Artemisia Gentileschi’s Susanna and the Elders and a pair of flower paintings by the ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- 125 Newbury presents Asher Liftin: Recent Work, an exhibition of new paintings and drawings by the Brooklyn-based artist on view from September 18 through October 31 at 395 Broadway in Tribeca. Following Liftin’s Summer 2026 Artist Residency at The Watermill Center in Watermill, New York, the exhibition is curated by Arne Glimcher and accompanied by a written introduction by Glimcher in the gallery’s 125 Free Press publication. Asher Liftin’s work investigates fundamental conditions of vision and visibility. Using his own photography as source material, he translates mechanical images refracted in a glass eye into meticulously hand-crafted renderings on canvas and paper. The resulting images both evoke and extend histories of pointillism and divisionism, summoning the tradition of painters from Paul Signac to Chuck Close. As in the art of Close, Liftin decomposes photographs into their constituent colors, dividing them into four hues ... More
HUMLEBÆK.- The Spanish-Mexican painter Remedios Varo (1908-1963) is the subject of a major retrospective opening at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark on 18 September, marking the first presentation of her work on this scale in Europe. In recent years, Varo has attracted renewed attention as one of Surrealism’s most original figures and a pioneering feminist artist. The exhibition features the artist’s most significant works on loan from museums in Mexico and the US alongside key works from private collections that are rarely exhibited publicly. With her singular blend of precision and poetry, Remedios Varo conjures a Surrealist world of mysterious musicians, eccentric scientists, strange contraptions and enigmatic travellers inhabiting imaginary landscapes and uncanny interiors. Visitors can explore her captivating images in the Louisiana’s ... More

TOKYO.- The Fondation d’entreprise Hermès is presenting 5 Chome 4-1 Ginza, Tokyo, the first solo exhibition in Japan of Ann Veronica Janssens (b. 1956, Folkestone, UK). She is a Brussels-based Belgian artist who is active in the international art scene. Since the late 1970s, Janssens has consistently pursued experimental endeavours, employing simple materials like plywood, glass, and concrete, and since around 1990s, also incorporating elements such as light, sound, and artificial haze. Her work spans a wide range of media, including sculpture, installation, video, photography, and stage design for contemporary dance performances. While sharing common interests with artistic movements such as Minimalism, which uses industrial materials and questions the inherent nature of the exhibition space, as well as Light and Space, which offers a scientific examination of perceptual phenomena such as light, volume, and scale, Janssens’ work manifests in the form of subtle, understated intervent ...

Catherine Murphy, One-eighty, 2026. Oil on canvas, 102 x 102.2 x 4.2 cm / 40 ⅛ x 40 ¼ x 1 ⅝ in.
LONDON.- This September, Sadie Coles HQ, Bury Street, presents recent works by Catherine Murphy (b. 1946, Cambridge, MA), marking the artist’s second solo exhibition in London. Since the 1970s, Murphy has transformed the quotidian into the extraordinary, with painted views of existing and imagined scenarios staged in and around the artist’s home and studio in Poughkeepsie, New York. Although Murphy’s meticulous commitment to realism once situated her within the tradition of still life, over the past two decades her practice has shifted from direct observation towards more psychologically charged and subtly surreal interpretations of the objects that populate her surroundings. Focusing on overlooked and unexpected viewpoints, Murphy reframes and resizes the familiar. Idiosyncratic glimpses of objects are reproduced to unsettling effect, their character transformed through a careful choreographing of scenes and use of partial, cropped compositions, and heightened colour. Murphy co ... More
The Death of the Camera #2, 2026. 240 x 120 cm, Hahnemühle Fine Art Luster Print, Courtesy of the artist and Maçka Art Gallery.
ISTANBUL.- In its 50th anniversary year, Maçka Art Gallery opens its new season with The Death of the Camera, Alkan Avcıoğlu’s first solo exhibition in Turkey, on view from September 15 through October 31, 2026. Presented in collaboration with DIFOART, the exhibition brings together 20 large-scale prints that reconsider photography at a moment when the photographic image is no longer bound to the camera. The exhibition takes its title from Roland Barthes’s 1967 essay The Death of the Author, which displaced the author as the final authority over the meaning of a text. The Death of the Camera carries this idea into the photographic image, addressing the camera’s diminishing authority over how that image is constructed. The single viewpoint, continuous space, and stable relations of scale historically associated with the camera cease to operate as fixed conditions. Avcıoğlu’s works emerge through an experimental, multi-stage process with artificial intelligen ... More

Ben Brown Fine Arts presents Surface Tension exhibition celebrating 1990s British painters LONDON.- Ben Brown Fine Arts presents Surface Tension, an exhibition of paintings by British artists Peter Doig, Hurvin Anderson, Chris Ofili, Gary Hume, Cecily Brown and Glenn Brown, whose practices were forged in the London art world of the 1990s. Bringing together paintings, drawings and prints made between 1996 and the present, the exhibition traces the parallel history of that decade, telling the story of the painters who, against the prevailing weather, declared that painting remained a medium adequate to its moment. In ‘90s Britain the art world was dominated by the conceptual hegemony of the YBA movement. Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Rachel Whiteread, Sarah Lucas and their peers commanded tabloid headlines and museum surveys alike with their readymades, installations and vitrines. Freeze – the 1988 Docklands exhibition organised by Hirst that has come to serve as year zero for the whole scene – set the terms, and by the time of Sensation at the Royal Academy in 1997 the sto ...

Lisson Gallery presents first Los Angeles exhibition of Oliver Lee Jackson LOS ANGELES, CA.- Lisson Gallery presents its first Los Angeles exhibition of painter, sculptor, and printmaker Oliver Lee Jackson. A Bay Area resident based in Oakland, Jackson builds his compositions around the human figure, a recurring presence that underpins his work’s structure. This presentation brings together works spanning several decades of his practice from paintings to a group of marble and mixed media sculptures. His sculptural output, a lesser-known but vital aspect of his oeuvre, was last seen in a monumental commission of metal figures for New York’s High Line in 2024, while these forms are being presented publicly for the first time. After initially carving marble in Carrara, Italy in the 1980s, Jackson took to sculpting sensuous figures from stone and wood, but often left the unfinished works aside as he ruminated over their final forms. The ... More
Klodin Erb and Monika Emmanuelle Kazi exhibit at Centre culturel suisse, Paris PARIS.- Exploring the emotions, fantasies, and big questions that life throws at us, Klodin Erb presents her first personal exhibition in France. Sustained by art history, theatre, fashion, or popular culture, her work interrogates our desires, our concerns, and our ways of inhabiting the world. Le Grand Drame (The Great Drama) floods the space like a scene in which tragedy rubs shoulders with the burlesque and sensitivity blends with the absurd. Her figures evolve in a universe that is at once theatrical, sensual, and profoundly alive. The colorist and gestural painting, imbued with surrealist moments and humanity, simultaneously becomes décor, stage set, and character. Beneath the skylight, venusinfurs deploys a series of monumental paintings within frames made of fabric. Inspired as much by representations of the birth of Venus as by the Baroque ceilings of churches ... More
Salt Beyoğlu presents major survey of Turkish artist and educator Özer Kabaş ISTANBUL.- Across the Seas: Özer Kabaş and His Times examines the practice of artist, educator, and writer Özer Kabaş (1934–1998), ranging from painting and design to film and theater. It highlights Kabaş’s interest in various artistic disciplines, his approach to art education, and his contributions to Turkey’s cultural landscape. Kabaş studied painting at the Yale School of Art from 1957 to 1962. He learned from structured methods of Josef Albers, a principal figure in shaping the Bauhaus curriculum at Yale, and the expressive style of painter Jack Tworkov, who had joined the faculty as a visiting professor in 1961. Kabaş was also influenced by New Images of Man, curated by Peter Selz at MoMA in 1959, which presented an alternative to Cold War Abstract Expressionism. This experience moved him toward psychological realism and social critique in his paintings. While ... More
Eric N. Mack challenges conventions of painting in new gallery exhibition NEW YORK, NY.- Eric N. Mack radically reconsiders the conventions of painting using textiles as his primary materials. For his second exhibition with Paula Cooper Gallery, Mack presents new free-standing and wall-based paintings, along with a site-responsive installation. This exhibition, titled after a text by the artist quoted in full below, follows recent one-person exhibitions at the American Academy of Arts and Letters, New York, and the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio, as well as residencies at the Speed Art Museum, Louisville, Kentucky, and BOFFO, Fire Island, New York. Both invoking and disrupting the flat pictorial plane, Mack’s abstract compositions occupy space in ways that challenge traditional understandings of painting. The works may be wall-based, wrapped around a metal stretcher (the traditional support for canvas), or pinned directly ... More

States of Uncertain Domesticities brings questions of home, identity and belonging to Rome ROME.- What does it mean to feel at home at a time shaped by migration, environmental crisis, social change and growing precarity? That question lies at the center of States of Uncertain Domesticities, an international traveling exhibition opening September 19 at the Museo Carlo Bilotti – Aranciera di Villa Borghese in Rome. On view through November 8, 2026, the exhibition examines the idea of home not simply as a physical structure, but as a place shaped by memory, relationships, care, identity and political realities. After previous editions in Berlin at Haus Kunst Mitte and in Brno at the House of Arts, the project arrives in Rome with new works and perspectives developed in response to the city’s cultural and historical setting. Curated by Alba D’Urbano and Ada Lombardi, the exhibition brings together around 30 works spanning video, painting, ... More
Tell Me Where Home Is exhibition opens at Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg WOLFSBURG.- What does “home” (German: Heimat, pl.: Heimaten) mean today? Is it even a geographical place, or rather a feeling, a memory, an illusion? How do people in the twenty-first century continually create new homes? In its thematic exhibition Tell Me Where Home Is, the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg explores the currently intensely debated questions regarding home, migration, and belonging. For even our globalized and digitized societies are imbued with a longing for home—despite, or perhaps precisely because, constant change and migratory movements have become the norm. War, persecution, and the climate crisis are forcing millions of people to leave their homes. Only a small fraction enjoys mobility as a cosmopolitan way of life. How, then, do people find a sense of home in this turbulent world? Some 160 works by sixty-one contemporary artists ... More

On a day like today, English illustrator Arthur Rackham was born
September 19, 1867. Arthur Rackham RWS (19 September 1867 - 6 September 1939) was an English book illustrator. He is recognised as one of the leading figures during the Golden Age of British book illustration. His work is noted for its robust pen and ink drawings, which were combined with the use of watercolour, a technique he developed due to his background as a journalistic illustrator. In this image: Self-portrait, 1934.
