MIAMI BEACH, FLA.-VISU Contemporary presents RISE, a new exhibition of 29 photographs by Pari Dukovic, made with the dancers of Miami City Ballet during the company's 40th anniversary season. Rather than documenting performance as spectacle, Dukovic photographs the disciplined bodies behind it, isolating moments in which years of repetition, physical intelligence, and private effort become visible as apparent ease. In RISE, the dancer's body becomes both subject and evidence: of endurance, vulnerability, control, and the sustained labor required to approach mastery. Dukovic's images move beyond conventional performance photography to examine what achievement looks like before it is polished into an image—and what remains concealed within gestures that appear effortless. The exhibition arrives at a moment when accomplishment is increasingly encountered as something immediate, visible, and easily consumed. Against that culture of compression, RIS ... More
DALLAS, TX.- After more than fifty years of looking at art in private and public collections, one problem has become increasingly clear to me: we have a tendency to confuse what we believe with what we know. There is another problem. Sometimes we are told what to think before we have had a chance to look. Years ago, while preparing a Roadshow shoot at the Menil Collection in Houston, I became interested in Dominique de Menil's approach to presenting art. What stayed with me was the unobtrusive placement of labels, which encouraged visitors to encounter the object before turning to an explanation. The Texas State Historical Association describes the Menil exhibition philosophy as emphasizing “direct engagement with works of art without didactic wall text.” Source: Eric Michael Wolf, “Menil, Dominique Isaline Schlumberger de,” Handbook of Texas Online, Texas State Historical Association. The relevant passage says that the Menil Collection continued the Menils’ exhibition phil ... More

MESQUITE, NEV..- Fresh off its move from Davenport, Washington, where the company was headquartered for over 10 years, Grant Zahajko Auctions will make a splash at its new home in Mesquite, Nevada on Wednesday, October 28th, with a Sports Cards & Memorabilia auction, packed with over 400 lots of rare and highly desirable sports collectibles. The action will be held online from the firm’s new gallery home located at 1624 Riverstone Bend, Unit 604 in Mesquite. Certainly the most intriguing lot in the sale is an important Knute Rockne thee-page handwritten letter with diagrammed plays and the original envelope addressed in Rockne’s hand. Rockne was the legendary football player and coach at the University of Notre Dame, which he led for 13 seasons and along the way accumulated more than 100 wins and three national championships. The letter was written in 1916 following a request for some plays from a high school coach, as documented in the consigning family’s letter of provenance. It has b ... More
Visions by Joe Whale.
LONDON.- Joe Whale was nine when the drawings that repeatedly landed him in trouble at school found an unexpected new home, covering the walls of a restaurant in Shrewsbury. The images soon travelled around the world, and "The Doodle Boy" was born. Seven years later, Whale returns to the UK as a very different artist. Now 16 and based in Adelaide, Australia, Joe Whale will unveil Ambassadors of Feeling, his first major London solo exhibition, at The Truman Brewery in Shoreditch from 22–25 October 2026. The entirely new body of work marks a departure and development in his practice, moving from the instinctive doodling for which he became known towards a more intentional visual language encompassing large-scale acrylic painting, colour and sculpture. After attracting international attention at nine, Whale's trajectory led to gallery exhibitions and collaborations with Nike, Disney and M&S, as well as a Royal commission. But rather than remaining within the visual language that first made hi ... More
HONG KONG.- M+, Asia’s global museum of contemporary visual culture in the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong, is proud to present Myths and Monsters: The Art of Fantasy in Asia, a Special Exhibition exploring fantasy’s role in Asian visual culture and its global impact. Spanning the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries, this is the first major survey to trace how artists have used fantasy to navigate the world and their times. The exhibition will be on view in the West Gallery at M+ from Saturday, October 17, 2026 to Sunday, April 4, 2027. Artists across Asia have long used imaginative stories, characters, and universes to confront complex social realities. More than mere escapism, fantasy is a powerful way of reimagining the world. From Tibetan Buddhist scrolls and Surrealist dreamscapes to anime’s fictional worlds, this exhibition reveals how supernatural and fantastical storytelling evolved in response to shifting socio-political conditions over two centuries. Featuring ... More
For researchers, the relief provides a potentially important clue to the religious practices associated with the sanctuary.
IVAYLOVGRAD.- Archaeologists working near the town of Ivaylovgrad in southern Bulgaria have uncovered the remains of an ancient pagan temple and a remarkable marble relief depicting three nymphs alongside the mother goddess Cybele. The discovery is offering new insights into religious life in Western Thrace during Late Antiquity and may represent one of the last pagan sanctuaries used by the region's Thracian population. The findings were made at the Balık Dere archaeological site, where excavations have revealed an unusual architectural complex believed to have begun functioning during the third century AD. Researchers say its distinctive layout, combined with the newly discovered relief and evidence of a connection to water, suggests that the building may have served as a nymphaeum, a sanctuary dedicated to the nymphs. According to Bulgaria's National Museum ... More

ST LEONARDS-ON-SEA.- Fifty years after the release of David Bowie's landmark album Station to Station, a collection of previously unseen photographs is offering a rare glimpse into the recording sessions that helped shape one of the most fascinating periods of his career. Taken by Geoff MacCormack, one of Bowie's oldest friends and closest collaborators, the images are being presented at Lucy Bell Gallery in an exhibition running from October 16 through November 21, 2026. The photographs transport viewers back to late 1975, when Bowie was living in Los Angeles after completing work on Nicolas Roeg's film The Man Who Fell to Earth. He had begun recording what would become Station to Station at Cherokee Studios, working with a group of musicians that included guitarist Carlos Alomar, bassist George Murray and ... More

PARIS.- Gagosian, Olney Gleason, and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation are pleased to present Lee Krasner: Works from the 1960s, an exhibition of paintings and works on paper at Gagosian’s rue de Ponthieu gallery in Paris. Opening on October 19, on the eve of Art Basel Paris, the exhibition marks the first solo presentation of Krasner’s work in France. It brings to Paris a focused examination of a transformative decade in the career of one of the most important American painters of the twentieth century. The exhibition follows the landmark European retrospective Lee Krasner: Living Colour (2019–21) and coincides with Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (October 4, 2026–January 31, 2027), the first major exhibition to examine Krasner ...

Alexander Calder (1898 - 1976), Black Triangle – Red Ribbon, 1953. Sheet metal, wire, and paint, 55.5 x 60 x 60 cm / 21 7/8 x 23 5/8 x 23 5/8 in.
PARIS.- In 1953, Calder returned to live in France for the first time in 20 years, settling in the countryside outside Aix-en-Provence and then in the small town of Saché in the Loire Valley. The artist’s productivity flourished in the expansive Provençal landscape and the modest, solitary spaces of a 17th-century stone house called François Premier in Saché. In Paris the following year, Galerie des Cahiers d’Art exhibited Calder’s ink and gouache paintings from Aix and Galerie Maeght presented 'Aix. Saché. Roxbury. 1953–54'—a pair of shows that together marked Calder’s triumphant return to France. Over 70 years later, inspired by a curious fortuity, the beautiful galleries of Hauser & Wirth Paris—located within an hôtel particulier on a street that also bears the name François Premier—'Calder: François Premier' is the first major project dedicated to this expansive ...

Orazio Gentileschi, Saint Jerome in Prayer, 1610–1611. Oil on canvas, 152 × 126.5 cm. Turin, Palazzo Madama – Museo Civico d’Arte Antica.
FLORENCE.- When Artemisia Gentileschi arrived in Florence in 1613, she was a young painter trying to establish herself in a world where artistic recognition, professional opportunities, and financial independence were overwhelmingly controlled by men. She had left behind Rome, the city where she had learned to paint in her father's workshop and endured a highly publicized rape trial. What awaited her in Florence would change the course of her career. More than four centuries later, those decisive years are the subject of *Artemisia Gentileschi a Firenze*, a major exhibition at the Museo degli Innocenti bringing together more than 50 works from over 40 Italian and international collections. Running from October 20, 2026, through April 4, 2027, the exhibition examines the period between 1613 and 1620, when Gentileschi developed her artistic identity, gained prestigious ... More
BASEL.- Museum Tinguely presents the exhibition SPACES BETWEEN with works by Zilla Leutenegger, one of the most defining voices in Swiss contemporary art. Ten multimedia installations and three monotypes are presented in various places around the museum, where her quiet, poetic video drawings meet the mechanical dynamism of Jean Tinguely’s machines. Sharing the space like “tenants in an apartment block”, they create a dialogue that is neither competitive nor harmonic, each achieving a forceful presence. In order to grant insights into this playfully poetic, mysteriously inhabited architecture, all of her works (with the exception of the monotypes) were modified and adapted to the specific conditions at Museum Tinguely. ZillaGorilla (2021/2026), for example, who at Bündner Kunstmuseum sat under a flight of stairs, now cowers in one of the huge crates used to transport Tinguely’s sculptures. In Plein Soleil (2026), the protagonist Zilla ... More
Didier William.
PARIS.- Galerie Peter Kilchmann presentd Didier William's first solo exhibition in France and his second with the gallery. Entitled Lot Bò D'lo A - a Haitian Creole expression literally meaning « on the other side of the water » — the exhibition presents thirteen paintings realised this year. The ensemble is complemented by a version of his emblematic installation Gesture to Home (2024), originally conceived for the Prospect.6 Triennial in New Orleans in 2024. The installation brings together pictorial and sculptural elements within a complex, immersive spatial environment. Born in 1983, Didier William immigrated with his family to Miami, at the age of six. He spent his childhood, adolescence and schooling there, in a cultural environment that would leave a lasting mark on his personal and artistic path. In 2009, he earned a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in painting and printmaking from the Yale School of Art in New Haven, Connecticut. Today, he lives and works in Philadelphia ... More

PARIS.- Galerie Max Hetzler, Paris, is presenting Les Fous d’En Face, a new exhibition by Elmgreen & Dragset. Coinciding with Art Basel Paris, this is the artist duo’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, and their first in the Paris space. For Les Fous d’En Face, Elmgreen & Dragset occupy Galerie Max Hetzler’s two spaces at 46 & 57 rue du Temple. Translating to The Fools on the Other Side, the exhibition presents three new installations which build on some of the central elements in the artists’ practice, from absurdist humour and spatial subversion to open-ended narratives. The exhibition is in part underpinned by reflections on the artists’ own past. Through displacement, the objects on display draw attention to agencies embedded in situations and memories that both define the extraordinary and the familiar, the extreme ... More

Gagosian to participate in Art Basel Paris with presentation of defining Modern and Contemporary works PARIS.- Gagosian announced its participation in Art Basel Paris at the Grand Palais with a presentation of exceptional paintings, sculpture, and photographs that define many of the key artistic movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, evidenced by the inclusion of these artists in major museum exhibitions currently in Paris and internationally. The booth centers around Corks (Couple) (2011–18), a rarely seen polychrome bronze sculpture by Jeff Koons. Standing over three meters (10 feet) tall, it depicts a cluster of oversize corks with illusionistically detailed textures, wine stains, and imprints of origin and vintage. Loosely suggesting the form of an embracing couple, the sculpture belongs to Koons’s Antiquity series (2008–), here evoking themes of beauty, eros, and the Dionysian. Corks (Couple) is accompanied by Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de bicyclette ... More

Jeu de Paume presents Stan Douglas's largest French survey in over 30 years PARIS.- Jeu de Paume presents Parallax, the largest monographic exhibition devoted to Stan Douglas in France for over thirty years.

Following the exhibition in Paris, the show will travel to the MACBA Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona in 2027. Stan Douglas lives and works in Vancouver. Since his beginnings, he has developed a practice combining the mediums of cinema and photography. He takes an interest in the processes behind the creation of reality, considering perception to be a subject in its own right. In his installations, Douglas pursues his reflections on the role of technology ... More
Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris presents first Parisian museum survey of Simone Fattal PARIS.- In fall 2026, the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris is devoting a major exhibition to Simone Fattal, a Lebanese American artist born in Damas, Syria, in 1942 and based in Paris for many years. Bringing together some one hundred works, the exhibition covers over fifty years of her artistic trajectory—from early landscape paintings to ceramics and collages. Organized into successive groupings rather than chronologically, the exhibition sequence invites visitors to explore the key themes of a constantly renewed diverse body of work. Enthralled with literature and archeology, Simone Fattal initially studied philosophy at the School of Letters in Beirut, then at the Sorbonne, complementing her training with classes at the École du Louvre. In the late 1960s, it was in Beirut that she took up painting, endlessly depicting trees, the seaside and mountains, and pushing ... More

Artcurial to auction the private collection of contemporary art icon Marie-Claude Beaud PARIS.- On December 1st, 2026, Artcurial will auction in Paris the collection of Marie-Claude Beaud (1946–2024), a leading figure in contemporary art. Marie-Claude Beaud was one of those who leave a lasting mark on institutions. As the first director of the Fondation Cartier, she brought to life, as early as 1984, this pioneering experiment in private patronage, founded on artistic freedom and dialogue between disciplines. Convinced that a museum should be an experience to be lived as much as it is to be visited, she pursued this ambition at the Mudam Luxembourg, and subsequently at the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco. The selection of nearly 200 lots offered for sale traces the career of a woman whose vision and freedom of spirit left their mark on several generations of artists and institutions. From César to Jean-Michel Othoniel, from Raymond ... More
Marian Goodman Gallery Paris debuts Tacita Dean and Bruce Nauman film collaboration PARIS.- Marian Goodman Gallery Paris is presenting an exhibition featuring Tacita Dean and Bruce Nauman. Since the early 1990s, Tacita Dean has produced a body of work across many mediums including drawing, printmaking and photochemical film. From the mid-1960s onwards, Bruce Nauman has continually pushed the boundaries of traditional artistic practice through his exploration of the body, language and performance, and is regarded as one of the most influential artists working today. Together, they present Drawing Blind Drawing (2026), a collaborative 35mm film diptych. Dean and Nauman met in February 2025, and their first conversation centered on drawing. Nauman was then working on a new series of drawings using gold- and silverpoint, which marked his return to drawing after a break of nearly twenty years. He was also beginning ... More
Willem de Kooning leads Sotheby's $61 million contemporary art auction in London LONDON.- Willem de Kooning emerged as the star of Sotheby's Contemporary Evening Auction in London on October 15, with a 1977 painting fetching £9.8 million ($12.9 million), the highest price ever paid at auction in Europe for a work by the American artist. The sale brought in a total of £46 million ($61 million), adding to a particularly strong year for the auction house in the British capital. The result offered another indication of the enduring appeal of established names in the international art market, with works by Gerhard Richter, Mark Rothko, David Hockney, and Andy Warhol attracting some of the evening's highest bids. Collectors also showed considerable interest in German artists, particularly Georg Baselitz and Albert Oehlen. De Kooning's Untitled, painted in 1977, led the evening comfortably, selling within its presale estimate of £8 million to £12 ... More
Galerie Lelong opens two exhibitions in Paris exploring the boundaries of painting and sculpture PARIS.- Two artists with distinctly different approaches to making art are taking over Galerie Lelong's Paris spaces this autumn. Beginning October 19, 2026, the gallery presents Théâtre imaginaire, an exhibition of paintings by German artist Magnus Plessen, alongside Kind of Blue, a selection of recent sculptures by American artist Arlene Shechet. Together, the exhibitions offer contrasting yet complementary perspectives on the human experience, exploring how memory, physical gestures, imagination, and materials can shape artistic expression. Running through November 14, the exhibitions also mark important moments in the gallery's relationships with both artists. Galerie Lelong is inaugurating its representation of Plessen with a presentation of twenty paintings created between 2024 and 2026, while Shechet, whose work has helped reshape contemporary ... More
Seven women artists from Saudi Arabia explore memory and tradition at Asia Now in Paris PARIS.- A table can be many things: a place to share a meal, a surface on which to work, a gathering point for family and friends, or a quiet witness to conversations and rituals that have long since ended. These familiar associations form the starting point for Tables Around — Six Proposals from Saudi Arabia, an exhibition bringing together seven women artists whose works explore the relationships between everyday objects, cultural memory and contemporary life. Presented by Villa Hegra at Asia Now 2026, the exhibition takes place at the Monnaie de Paris from October 20 to 24, with a VIP preview on October 19. Curated by Basmah Felemban and Gaël Charbau, it features six newly conceived artistic proposals spanning sculpture, textiles, moving images, scent and furniture.

On a day like today, Italian painter Umberto Boccioni was born
October 19, 1882. Umberto Boccioni (19 October 1882 - 17 August 1916) was an influential Italian painter and sculptor. He helped shape the revolutionary aesthetic of the Futurism movement as one of its principal figures. Despite his short life, his approach to the dynamism of form and the deconstruction of solid mass guided artists long after his death. His works are held by many public art museums, and in 1988 the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City organized a major retrospective of 100 pieces. In this image: The City Rises, 1910.
