GLOUCESTER, MASS.- On June 30, the Cape Ann Museum (CAM) in Gloucester, Massachusetts, opened Avery, Gottlieb & Rothko: By the Sea, a landmark exhibition featuring 82 works of art from 26 lending institutions, including 16 museums across the country. On view at the Cape Ann Museum from June 30 through September 27, 2026, the exhibition is guest curated by Eliza Rathbone, Chief Curator Emerita at The Phillips Collection. Following its Gloucester debut, the exhibition will travel to The Phillips Collection in Washington, DC, in October 2026—marking the first time an exhibition organized by the Cape Ann Museum will tour to a national museum. The exhibition also coincides with the reopening of the Museum’s main campus after 20 months of closure for renovations and improvements, following an unprecedented $23 million fundraising campaign, far exceeding the Museum’s original $18 million goal. “This is an extraordinary opportunity to tell the story of the close friendship among these major ...

NEW YORK, NY.- There are collections that accumulate, and collections that crystallize. Magnum Opus: A Private Collection of Exceptional Art and Objects Through the Ages belongs unmistakably to the second category. Assembled over decades by a single, deeply committed collector, the collection encompasses more than 900 works spanning millennia and continents — from Roman imperial marble, Old Master paintings, ancient Near Eastern ceramics, Islamic court carpets, and royal French furniture to Impressionist masterworks and exceptional 20th century design. Yet what distinguishes it is not its sheer breadth, remarkable as it is, but the singular intelligence that binds it. Across every medium and every era, a set of abiding preoccupations with the human form, with the dialogue between material and meaning, and with the enduring power of provenance holds the collection ...

Patrick O'Brien, USS Spitfire on Patrol, 2020 (detail).
NEW YORK, NY.-Cavalier Galleries is marking its 40th anniversary this year, celebrating four decades of growth from a small Stamford, Connecticut gallery into an independent enterprise with exhibition spaces in New York, Greenwich, Nantucket, and Palm Beach. Founded in 1986 by Ronald Cavalier Jr., the gallery began modestly, at a time when establishing credibility in the competitive art market required patience, persistence, and a clear point of view. Over the years, Cavalier built its reputation through scholarship, connoisseurship, and close relationships with artists, collectors, institutions, and the communities in which it operates. Today, the gallery is known for museum-quality exhibitions, the representation of leading contemporary artists, and a long commitment to public art. That public-facing mission has been central to Cavalier’s identity for decades, beginning with the founding of the Stamford ... More

One of the finest offerings of Old Master Paintings seen at Sotheby's London in the last decade, the sale is particularly rich in long-unseen, fresh-to-market works: sixteen works of the 46 works to be offered will be appearing now at auction for the very first time; nearly a third never been exhibited publicly before; and six have not been seen in public for over six decades.

Earlier this week, conservators disassembled Giovanni Bellini’s Frari Triptych in preparation for restoration treatment.
VENICE.- Acclaimed by 19th-century art critic John Ruskin as one of “the best pictures in the world,” the Frari Triptych reveals Giovanni Bellini’s extremely refined brushwork and his ability in depicting the psychological depth of the figures. Bellini was commissioned to paint the Frari Triptych in 1488 to honor Franceschina Tron who had died in 1478. The altarpiece was part of a broader project that included the erection and decoration of the sacristy’s chapel where Franceschina was buried. Her tomb slab still lies today in the center of its original architectural setting, right before the altar, and carries an inscription with the names of the patrons—Franceschina’s sons Nicolò, Benedetto, and Marco Pesaro. The Pesaro patronage is considered among the most remarkable commissions of the time, as it honors a woman rather than a man. Indeed, evidence suggests that Franceschina was the only woman to have been ... More
LA JOLLA, CA.- Joseph Bellows Gallery is presenting Surfboard, an exhibition of photographs by Joni Sternbach featuring twenty 14×11-inch gelatin silver contact prints made from glass-plate collodion negatives. Devoted to the surfboard as both a sculptural object and a vessel of personal history, the exhibition is on view from June 27 through August 29, 2026. Using the 19th-century photographic process, Sternbach portrays surfboards as singular artifacts shaped by craftsmanship, use, history, and the ocean itself. Her images bridge centuries of photographic tradition and the enduring culture of surfing, creating works that feel both timeless and distinctly contemporary. Known internationally for her use of the 19th-century tintype process to create compelling portraits of surfers, Sternbach applies similar working methods to the surfboard itself. The artist writes: "I document historic surfboards by making large-format, collodion-coated glass negatives. I use this process concep ... More

Maria Schnyder, director and chief curator of De Pont Museum from 1 October: 'Bas Hendrikx combines ... More
MONTREAL.- The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts unveiled its summer program, boasting a rich and diverse offering that celebrates art in all its forms. Open every day from June 29 to September 6, the MMFA is Montreal’s must-see destination of the summer.

Lotus L. Kang, Receiver Transmitter (Casket), 2026, cast aluminum, 49 cast aluminum kelp knots, concrete, steel, hardware, 152.4 x 99.1 x 30.5 cm.
GERMANTOWN NY.- Mendes Wood DM is presenting Casket, a presentation of new work by the Canadian-born, New York-based artist Lotus L. Kang. Receiver Transmitter (Casket) (2026), a cast aluminum sculpture centering on avian bodies, a relatively recent motif in Kang’s practice, takes as its central image a bird nourishing through regurgitation. Non-human, its figures bear what are among the most shared of experiences of inheritance, loss, the passage from one generation to the next, the extreme newness of a life just begun, what a mother can pass on to her brood. Working to monumentalize this exchange, treating it as a process rather than a state of arrival or finality, Kang has been thinking about leakiness, regurgitation, and translation. The concepts find their most literal form in the act of feeding, one body passing what it holds into another. What cannot be contained, that ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Galerie Lelong, New York announced representation of Los-Angeles based painter Sarah Cain. Known for her vibrant color palette and playful language of abstraction, Cain boldly pushes the boundaries of painting. The artist centers her practice in feminist principles, dismissing historic conventions of her medium to construct a new, expanded language of abstraction rooted in the experiential. Her paintings often incorporate found objects or extend beyond the canvas into monumental site-specific installations that embody an emotive experience. This marks Cain’s return to Galerie Lelong, having worked with the gallery for nearly a decade leading up to 2020. “We're thrilled Sarah Cain is returning to the gallery. She is one of the most exciting and freshest voices among painters today, with her multi-dimensional painting and site responsive installations extending the medium’s language. We’re happy to welcome her back as we continue to strive to raise ... More
Ain Bailey, Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner, 2026, Waterloo Underground station. Photo by Thierry Bal.
LONDON.- Maybe It’s Because I’m A Londoner is a new sound artwork for Waterloo station by London-based composer, artist and DJ Ain Bailey (b. London, 1963) with experimental vocalist and movement artist Elaine Mitchener (b. London, 1970). Bailey’s first UK public artwork undertakes an autobiographical mapping of London to reflect on the value of London’s cultural spaces and their place in shaping a personal identity. Maybe It’s Because I’m A Londoner is an original 6:30-minute audio work. It features a new libretto paying homage to more than 70 London premises that have been important to Ain Bailey throughout her lifetime, which are no longer open. The work can be heard at Waterloo Underground station along the travelator connecting the Northern and Jubilee lines. Bailey’s libretto has been interpreted and performed by Elaine Mitchener as a multi-layered composition for voice. ... More
Sam Linguist, dome park, 2026. Underglazed stoneware, 12 x 9 x 1.5 inches, 30.5 x 23 x 3.75 cm.
CREMONA.- The artist Sam Linguist was raised in the small town of Waxahachie, Texas, where he spent his teenage years working at Webb Gallery, a space dedicated to the cosmic explosions and Surrealist fantasies of visionary artists, often self-taught or excluded from the mainstream—the gallery itself far-removed from prevailing American art centers. There, he encountered figures like Sanford Darling, Royal Robertson, and Burgess Dulaney whose works in clay, paint, marker, and glitter, revealed new hallucinatory worlds. This idiosyncratic personal mythology plays itself out in an art practice that affirms a devotion to handmade objects, enigmatic private dreamscapes, and exuberant traces of the everyday, which Linguist conveys on wobbly slip cast surfaces made by hand or formed from found items spanning domino tiles and turtle shells to Styrofoam and hardcover books. Poised between sculpture and painting, Linguist transfigures the ... More

Gwangju Biennale launches first open call for Artistic Director of 17th edition GWANGJU.- The Gwangju Biennale Foundation has announced an international open call for the Artistic Director of the 17th Gwangju Biennale, marking a significant shift in the Biennale’s curatorial selection process. Until now, the Artistic Director has been selected through a recommendation-based system, in which a small group of advisors nominated candidates for consideration and a final director was appointed from among them. While the existing system has often brought in internationally renowned figures, the Biennale is embracing a new approach to honor its landmark 30-year history. The transition is meant to uphold the spirit of Gwangju and the pride of its legacy while establishing a more democratic and transparent selection process. This change reflects a commitment to prioritizing curatorial vision, exhibition content, and professional capability over individual ... More
Buffalo AKG Art Museum opens major Ali Banisadr exhibition 'Temple of the Mind' BUFFALO, NY.- The Buffalo AKG Art Museum opened the exhibition, Ali Banisadr: Temple of the Mind. The show takes place in the museum’s Hemicycle Gallery, as well as throughout the Wilmers Galleries—the first time an artist has been invited to host interventions in the AKG’s permanent collection galleries—and will be on view from Friday, June 26, to Sunday, November 8, 2026. Ali Banisadr (American, born Iran, 1976) merges the compositional elements of landscape painting with abstract mark-making to create an altogether new form of figuration. The resulting compositions are a carefully composed bedlam of forms that suggest but ultimately deny any specific narrative. Variously reminiscent of gardens of Eden, the seasonal genre pictures of Flemish Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder, and Boschian depictions of Hell, Banisadr’s ... More
Fridman Gallery opens 'Double Bind' group exhibition curated by Catharine Clark NEW YORK, NY.- Fridman Gallery presents Double Bind: Belonging and Its Discontents, a group exhibition curated by Catharine Clark featuring works by Athena LaTocha, Sandow Birk, daaPo Reo, Stephanie Syjuco, Zeina Barakeh, Nate Lewis, Hiba Kalache, Arleene Correa Valencia, Wura-Natasha Ogunji, and Deborah Oropallo and Andy Rappaport. Through drawing, sculpture, textiles, photography, video, installation, painting, and performance, Double Bind explores belonging as both a political condition and a lived experience. While many of the participating artists engage questions of migration, citizenship, public memory, and national identity, the exhibition ultimately asks a broader question: What allows us to feel that we belong? The exhibition's title references the paradox at the heart of contemporary belonging. To belong often requires visibility, yet visibility can expose ... More
Madre museum launches major retrospective of Sardinian artist Maria Lai NAPLES.- The Maria Lai exhibition is part of an initiative launched by Madre at the start of its 2023 programming cycle, under the presidency of Angela Tecce and the directorship of Eva Fabbris: to bring visibility and historiographical rigor to the practices of female artists who worked in the second half of the twentieth century with a radicalism that is often still underrecognized. Following those on Kazuko Miyamoto and Tomaso Binga, the exhibition on Maria Lai expands this commitment, bringing to the forefront a body of work in which the practice of gesture, the transmission of knowledge, and the collective memory of women’s labor converge in an original visual language. This exhibition coincides with the second winning exhibition of the Premio Meridiana; shortly after comes the opening of the third chapter of the exhibition series Gli anni, which continues and ...

Curator: Semíramis González. Co-produced with LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, Gijón, Spain The Slowness of Light (La lentitud de la luz) is the first institutional exhibition in Madrid by María Lara (Loja, Granada, 1940), who has long been considered a ‘secret painter’.

Prinzhorn Collection Museum marks 25th anniversary with 'Is It All Art?' exhibition HEIDELBERG.- The Prinzhorn Collection Museum houses a collection that is unique in the world – some 40,000 works created by institutionalised patients and people with experience of mental illness between 1840 and the present day. In 2026, the museum celebrates its 25th anniversary. With the anniversary exhibition ‘Is It All Art?’ and an extensive programme of events, the museum – in collaboration with numerous partners – is focusing on a central question that has accompanied the institution since its foundation: How can works created in a psychiatric context be exhibited when they were not originally intended for the public or were not created as art? The aim of the exhibition is to explore new ways of presenting ‘art on the fringes of art’ and to further strengthen the inclusion of outsider art within the art world. The exhibition presents key works from the collection ... More
Mo.C.A. opens exhibition tracing urban art from prehistoric marks to Banksy MONTECATINI TERME.- Leaving a mark on a wall may seem like a rebellious modern gesture, but a new exhibition at Mo.C.A. (Montecatini Terme Contemporary Art) argues that the impulse is as old as humanity itself. Opening today, Giotto Was Banksy’s Grandfather. We Are in the World to Leave a Mark traces the long history of public expression, from prehistoric cave paintings and the rock engravings of Val Camonica to the graffiti of Pompeii, the subway writing of New York, and the global rise of street art. Curated by Bruno Ialuna, the exhibition will remain on view through May 2, 2027, presenting an immersive journey across more than 60,000 years of visual culture. The project, organized by Mare Laboratorio di innovazione sociale, is presented with the patronage of the Province of Pistoia and the Region of Tuscany.
