FRANKFURT.- Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1526/30–1569) is regarded as one of the outstanding artists of sixteenth-century Dutch art. His works transport viewers into a fascinating world of humorous visual ideas and enigmatic motifs. Although he is today primarily known as a painter, he made a name for himself early on through his designs for prints. In the exhibition Bruegel. Printed, the Städel Museum brings together around forty-five exceptional prints based on Bruegel’s drawings. They reveal him as a unique innovator and an inimitable storyteller, whose motifs range from vast landscapes to secular and religious allegories and scenes of everyday life. Bruegel’s prints were created in close collaboration with the Antwerp publisher Hieronymus Cock and his wife, Volcxken Diericx. They convey a vivid impression of the artist’s unique visual world, which combines observation and imagination. Drawing on his fondness for the detailed, grotesque motifs of Hieronymus Bosch and his broad ... More
Reconstruction of Forest floor. Illustration by Brian Engh.
DALLAS, TX.- A unique cache of plant fossils from volcanic deposits in New Mexico contradicts the common narrative that flowering plants, which now dominate the earth’s flora, had more limited roles in the ecology of Earth’s forests before dinosaurs disappeared 66 million years ago. New research shows surprisingly large seeds and fleshy fruits in a dense flowering-plant dominated forest, preserved in a “botanical Pompeii” that happened nearly 10 million years before a catastrophic asteroid impact wiped out the dinosaurs. The discovery was made by a multi-institutional team of scientists, led by UC Berkeley doctoral student Jaemin Lee, and includes critical work by Perot Museum of Nature and Science’s Director of Paleontology & Curator of Paleobotany and co-author Dr. Dori L. Contreras that began during her doctoral work at the university. “Contributing to the body of science is a critical pillar of the work we do at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science.

Installation view of Abigail Lucien: Blood of the Earth at the Art Institute of Chicago, 2026.
CHICAGO, IL.- The Art Institute of Chicago announces Abigail Lucien: Blood of the Earth, on view now through January 25, 2027. This solo exhibition presents a series of new sculptural works by Haitian American artist Abigail Lucien, and explores the ways that iron connects us to histories, the material world, and each other. Lucien has long been fascinated by iron, a mineral born from the explosion of stars that is essential to our daily lives. Found in the Earth’s molten core, human blood, everyday objects, and the built environment, iron is a versatile material that permeates the world around us. In Lucien’s artistic practice, it also provides a way to acknowledge craft traditions and diasporic experiences, finding inspiration in the ornate iron gates and grilles that adorn buildings in the Caribbean and in the iron forge as a sacred space of creation in Africa. “Lucien’s rigorous engagement with iron’s malleability opens up a compelling worldview, illuminating multiscalar ...

MINNEAPOLIS, MN.- The Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) has acquired eight works that reflect the museum’s ongoing commitment to building a collection that is both art-historically significant and global in scope. The acquisitions strengthen Mia’s holdings in Latin American colonial art, European painting and works on paper, contemporary American art, and Asian decorative arts. Among the highlights are a silver gilt salt cellar recovered from the wreck of the Spanish galleon Nuestra Señora de Atocha—the first work of early Latin American silversmithing to enter the collection and the only work from this ship in an American museum collection; an 18th-century Guatemalan polychrome wood sculpture that is the only known example of its Marian subject in an American museum; and a major new painting by artist Titus Kaphar titled Do You Remember Douglas Street?, that relates to his acclaimed debut feature film. “These acquisitions reflect who we are ...

Considered one of the best scrimshaw pieces in the world.
NANTUCKET, MASS.- The Nantucket Historical Association announced the acquisition of an island folk-art masterpiece: a scrimshaw plaque made by Edward Burdett (1805–1833). Burdett is the earliest identified American engraver of sperm whale teeth and was from Nantucket. Currently, only about twenty pieces of scrimshaw by Burdett are known, all sperm-whale teeth except for two bone plaques. This plaque, which has been in a single family for 200 years, was offered to the Nantucket Historical Association by the descendants of Capt. Valentine Hussey, a significant merchant from Nantucket’s whaling era. The NHA has three other scrimshaw pieces by Burdett, including a tooth also made aboard the same whaleship on which Burdett made this plaque. The plaque will be on exhibit in the Arie L. Kopelman Gallery at the Whaling Museum this summer, giving visitors a chance to view what one recent observer called “Nantucket’s Mona Lisa”: a not-to-be-missed ... More

DORNBIRN.- From 3 July to 8 November 2026, Kunstraum Dornbirn presents HYLE, Michail Pirgelis’s first institutional solo exhibition in Austria. Born in Essen in 1976, raised in Greece, and now based in Cologne, Pirgelis has been working for over two decades with materials from decommissioned passenger planes—exterior walls, rows of windows, floor panels—which he strips of their original function by scraping, sanding and fragmenting them to create abstract sculptures. The exhibition title draws on the Aristotelian concept of hyle (ὕλη): matter in relation to form, the potential of material to take shape. This identifies the conceptual core of Pirgelis’s practice. With HYLE, Kunstraum Dornbirn presents the first institutional solo exhibition in Austria by Michail Pirgelis. For the historic assembly hall, Pirgelis—born in Essen in 1976, raised in Greece, and now based in Cologne—has developed a large-scale installation. Here, monumental ... More
New INAH documentary summarizes more than three millennia of the practice of the ballgame. Photo: INAH.
MEXICO CITY.- Deep in the misty jungle of Veracruz, surrounded by birdsong and the cries of howler monkeys, a new documentary by Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History begins with the sound and memory of one of Mesoamerica’s oldest traditions: the ballgame. Titled The Ancestral Ballgame: The Cosmos in a Sacred Game, the documentary brings together more than three thousand years of history, ritual and cultural continuity. Produced by INAH TV, the film explores the origins, symbolism and living legacy of a practice that was never merely a sport. For ancient Mesoamerican peoples, the ballgame was a sacred act connected to the cosmos, the renewal of life, political power, fertility, war and communication with the gods. The documentary was presented on July 1, 2026, at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. It forms part of the cultural programming created around the Mundial Social, an initiative that uses the global attention surrounding ... More
Ayse Wilson, Blue Diving In, 2026. Acrylic on canvas, 48 x 36 in, 121.9 x 91.4 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Jane Lombard Gallery is presenting the group exhibition Immensity of Blue. This exhibition looks to the conceptual framework of water to highlight places where idle activities are encouraged, rest is granted, new communities are fostered, and time seems to undulate indefinitely. Immensity of Blue will be on view at Jane Lombard Gallery through August 14th, 2026. In a vibrant triptych, Adam de Boer reimagines Georges Seurat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte through the lens of present-day Los Angeles. Palm trees shimmer in reflective water while figures lounge in states of ease, offering a distinctly Californian vision of sunlight, leisure, and collective gathering. Created using a traditional batik technique, the work merges cultural heritage with a contemporary sensibility, reflecting on the ways inherited traditions continue to shape personal experiences of place. Eva Struble similarly translates her physical experience of landscape into vibrant, multisensory abstract ... More
The Large Horse, 1505. Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471–1528). Engraving; sheet: 16.6 x 11.9 cm. The Cleveland Museum of Art, Bequest of Leonard C. Hanna Jr., 1958.113
CLEVELAND, OH.- The Renaissance Engraver at Work, the Cleveland Museum of Art’s (CMA) newest exhibition, offers visitors a glimpse into the beauty, complexity, and technical innovation of engraving, a printmaking process that emerged in mid-1400s Europe. Drawn exclusively from the CMA’s collection, which includes some of the world’s oldest and rarest engravings, the exhibition explores the origins of a medium that transformed the way images were created and duplicated. The Renaissance Engraver at Work, on view from Sunday, July 5, through Sunday, November 1, 2026, in the James and Hanna Bartlett Prints and Drawings Galleries 101A–B, is free and open to the public. “In Renaissance Europe, engraving was a new technology,” said Emily J.

Henri Matisse, The White Feathers, 1919. Minneapolis Institute of Art. The William Hood Dunwoody Fund.
NICE.- The Musée Matisse Nice and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris present a major exhibition dedicated to two leading creators who never ceased to rethink the 20th century, exploring and transgressing its sources to dissolve the established boundaries between fine and applied arts. If a single common thread were to link Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and Yves Saint Laurent (1936-2008), it would undoubtedly be their shared determination to transcend the traditional boundaries between fine arts and applied arts. For Henri Matisse (1869-1954), the dynamism of decorative prints becomes the means of creating a pictorial space that “extends beyond the limits of the tangible”;[1] for Yves Saint Laurent (1936-2008), painting offers the possibility of moving from plane to volume, of conceiving the garment as a mobile element that unfolds in the space, an art in movement. Sewing and painting were activities that involved the ‘same experimentation with lines, and the ... More

New exhibition at Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology explores the ancient roots of the ballgame MEXICO CITY.- At a moment when soccer is placing Mexico once again in the global spotlight, the National Museum of Anthropology is inviting visitors to look much further back in time—to the sacred courts where the sound of a rubber ball once echoed across Mesoamerica. The exhibition “Tlachtli. Spaces of the Sacred Game” opened on July 2, 2026, at the National Museum of Anthropology, bringing together 24 aerial photographs by Santiago Arau Pontones and 10 archaeological objects that explore the deep cultural, ritual, and territorial meaning of the pre-Hispanic ballgame.

Kunsthalle Osnabrück presents Aleen Solari solo exhibition 'Tribute to Bicce' OSNABRÜCK .- Aleen Solari is an artist and painter. Her artworks bring painting out of its traditional canvas and into the space around us: surfaces, objects, and situations become part of her visual worlds. She links her art to themes that are familiar to many people – drawn from everyday life and pop culture, like music, fashion, teenage slang, or sport. Aleen Solari aims to connect with different groups, such as football fans or pub-goers. The starting point for Aleen Solari’s exhibition at the Kunsthalle Osnabrück is the subcultural space of fan culture and sport. [A subculture is a group within society. Members of the group share a common interest and have their own rules for how they interact with each other.] Her particular focus is on the fan culture surrounding football. Football stands, the sides of the pitch, and clubhouses are places with their own rituals and symbols. ... More

Zander Galerie Paris presents Molly Springfield's large-scale graphite drawings PARIS.- Zander Galerie Paris is presenting an exhibition of the five-part graphite drawing Commander Lowell by American artist Molly Springfield. Created in 2015 as part of her continuing series The Marginalia Archive and measuring over 4.5 meters in length, the work on paper explores the limits of reproduction, the translation of thought into writing, and the material conditions of reading. Through the processes of copying, annotation and transcription, Springfield investigates how meaning is mediated, altered and preserved. Molly Springfield’s work centres on acts of reproduction and the question of how information changes through repeated transmission. Working from existing printed texts, she repeatedly photocopies source material, with each generation serving as the basis for the next. Through this accumulative process, words, annotations and traces of use are enlarged ... More
Rare Cuzco School painting of the Black Madonna and Child comes to auction after 250 years in one family LONDON.- A rare religious painting from Peru’s Cuzco School, held by the same family for more than two centuries, will appear on the market for the first time this month at Sloane Street Auctions. Dating to around 1700, The Black Madonna and Child is expected to sell for £20,000 to £50,000 when it is offered on July 10. The oil on canvas, measuring 32 by 22 inches unframed, has been in the possession of the Messina/Grisewood family since the 18th century. The work’s history is as compelling as its imagery. The Messina family, Sicilian nobles associated with the Palazzo Messina in Palermo, is believed to trace its lineage back to those involved in the Norman conquest of Sicily nearly 1,000 years ago. The family later went into exile in Malta after Count Giovanni Messina was executed in Catanzaro in 1800 during the political upheavals that followed the revolutions ... More
Artist Justin Brice Guariglia uses ultraviolet spectrum to rethink non-human wilderness vision LONDON.- Flowers Gallery is presenting Agentic Forests, the first solo London gallery exhibition by New York-based artist Justin Brice Guariglia. A series of large-scale pictures printed in acrylic on white gessoed linen canvases, the works rigorously depict infinitely complex forest ecosystems, asserting the forest as agentic - a subject, not an object - that far exceeds human comprehension. Where contemporary environmental rhetoric tends to reduce the natural world to either something to be protected or something to be mined for resources, Guariglia's Agentic Forests proposes a richer relation that foregrounds our entanglement with and estrangement from the natural world. Over the past fifteen years, Guariglia has visited hallowed and sacred forests from all corners of the globe. He employs a meticulous process to photograph the forests, inch by inch, ... More
