GLOUCESTER, MA.-The Cape Ann Museum announced the promotion of Assistant Curator Leon Doucette to Curator of the Collections.

RENO, NV.- Reports of Fred Holabird’s professional retirement have been greatly exaggerated. The veteran auctioneer and owner of Holabird Western Americana Collections, LLC has been in a self-imposed retirement since his Grand Finale auction last year. But he’s saddling up again, this time to auction The Jack Haddock Nevada Town Token Collection on Friday, November 6. The live auction is being hosted exclusively on iCollector.com, starting at 8am Pacific Time. It’s packed with 250 lots of vintage and antique Nevada tokens, most of them metal but some paper and celluloid plastic. Half of the tokens up for bid are either unique or one of just a few known. Most of the businesses issuing tokens were saloons, hence the 12 ½ cent value or “one bit” drink. Fred and Jack are friends. “I met him in 1976, when I was enthralled by embossed local drug store bottles and the fact that they could come from remote Nevada ghost towns,” Holabird said. “As a mining geologist, ...

Pickering's most important contribution to the study of Pre-Columbian art may have been his application of forensic thinking to ancient West Mexican ceramics.
DALLAS, TX.- Bob Pickering was an anthropologist, archaeologist, forensic anthropologist, museum curator and educator whose career ranged from identifying the remains of American servicemen to investigating the authenticity of ancient West Mexican ceramics. I first knew Bob when he was at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis and I was visiting the city. Looking back over his career, what strikes me is how consistently he approached objects as evidence. Art was something to look at, certainly, but it was also something to question, investigate and use to understand the people who made it. Pickering trained in physical anthropology and received his Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 1984. In 1975–76, he worked at the U.S. Army identification laboratory in Thailand, helping identify the remains of American servicemen from the Vietnam War. He later worked in education at Chicago’s Field Museum. From 1988 to 1991, Pickering served as an educator and curator of anthropology at the Chil ... More
BERLIN.- Peter Wächtler’s forthcoming exhibition Ständig at Haus am Waldsee brings together new and existing works, most notably a new eponymous film. Through classic animation and elaborate set construction with extreme angles and distorted perspectives, the film draws on techniques from theatre and early cinema. Based on a poem by the artist, it stages formulaic movements and speech across four chapters, arranged around the inherent logics of the German conjunctions “und,” “oder,” “aber,” and “denn” (and, or, but, because). Wächtler’s elaborate practice goes beyond fixed classifications. He writes, draws, paints, makes films, builds sculptures and film sets to transform genres and narrative styles into a delicate interplay between longing and logistics. Over the last two decades he ... More
Jessi Reaves, Fix anything by routine, 2023
WARSAW.- The medium of sculpture is quick to react to the ever-changing reality—and the new show at MSN takes a broad and closer look at those reactions. More than fifty works by international artists are going on display in all parts of the Museum, from the outdoor walkways to the second-floor galleries; some are being specially produced for the occasion. The exhibition Sculpture Beyond the Solid opens on October 16. A towering piece, almost three meters high, in patinated bronze. This is Alina Szapocznikow’s Friendship (Monument to Polish-Soviet Friendship), greeting visitors on the first floor at MSN since the new site of the Museum opened two years ago. A representation of two men, larger than life. Back in 1954, it was intended as a symbol—for years ahead, for decades to follow, for ages; today, it tells a different story: about the eventual fall of the colossus, about weakness and fragility hidden behind the façade, about radical change. Later, Szapocznikow dismissed the tr ... More

PUEBLA, MEXICO.- Archaeologists working at Teteles de Ávila Castillo in the Sierra Norte of Puebla have confirmed that a monumental architectural complex at the site functioned as a solar observatory more than 2,500 years ago, a discovery that could reshape understanding of astronomical knowledge and cultural connections in ancient Mesoamerica. Research conducted by Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) indicates that the complex, known as Group E or Tetelihtic, was deliberately laid out according to observations of the sun, surrounding mountains and broader astronomical horizon. According to the archaeological team, the site may represent the oldest known complex of its kind in Mexico and the first documented outside the Maya region. Its design has been compared with the celebrated Group E complex at Uaxactún in Guatemala's Petén region, one of the best-known examples of early ... More
EJ Hauser, One Summer Day, 2026, oil on canvas, 14 x 11 inches.
NEW YORK, NY.- Derek Eller Gallery is presenting a solo show of new work by EJ Hauser entitled Sun Water Sky. Inspired by natural phenomena, guided by a process that begins with drawing, and mindful of the act of observation, Hauser makes paintings which fluidly exist between abstraction and representation, combining the graphic symbolism of repeated motifs with the gestural language of poetry. Mostly intimate in scale, the paintings in this exhibition invite close viewing, an immersive concentration which effectively “opens the imagination to something vast” according to Hauser. This act of beholding is central to the work. For Stars Reflected, Hauser recalls the magical experience of falling asleep in the studio and waking up in the night to the sight of the calm creek outside their window, perfectly reflecting the celestial sky. It is believed that ancient Mayan astronomers may have created still pools of water to observe the heavens, a kind of liquid mirror, that allows one to look down ... More
PARIS.- Pace’s presentation (#A30) at Art Basel Paris 2026 will spotlight a multigenerational group of artists, encompassing historic works as well as paintings, sculptures, and works on paper by contemporary practitioners. The gallery’s booth will be anchored by a selection of paintings by Jean Dubuffet, celebrating Pace’s longstanding relationship with the pioneering French artist. Pace has represented Dubuffet for nearly 60 years, with the artist joining the gallery in 1967 and presenting his first solo show, Painted Sculptures, in New York in 1968. The paintings on view at Art Basel reflect Dubuffet’s bold departures from art historical traditions and his lasting impact on contemporary art. This impact can be felt in the progressive practices of present-day artists showing on Pace’s booth, including Yto Barrada, Lynda Benglis, Nigel Cooke, Mary Corse, Elmgreen & Dragset, Pam Evelyn, Huong Dodinh, Loie Hollowell, Alicja Kwade, Li Songsong, Lee Ufan, ...

MUNICH.- Amerikahaus Munich is presenting two major bodies of work by American photographer Johnny Miller in Unequal Scenes & Salt Works, an exhibition that examines how social inequality, industrial activity and human intervention become visible when landscapes are viewed from above. On view from October 16, 2026 through January 9, 2027, the exhibition brings together Miller's internationally recognized Unequal Scenes project with his more recent explorations of industrial salt landscapes. Presented in collaboration with Buchkunst Berlin, the show highlights the photographer's ability to move between documentary observation and near-abstraction while addressing some of the defining social and environmental questions of the present. For Unequal Scenes, Miller uses drones to photograph cities and urban territories from directly overhead. From this ... More

ESSEN.- From 16 October 2026 to 10 January 2027, the Museum Folkwang will be hosting the exhibition Herbert W. Franke / Gottfried Jäger. Art and Construction. The exhibition marks a major donation to the Museum Folkwang of photographs, prints, videos and computer animations from Herbert W. Franke’s body of work. For the first time, around 250 works by the two artists will be presented together in a dialogic format. The focus is on their artistic exchange between non-representational photography and early computer art, which began in the 1960s. The starting point for this dialogue is the book Art and Construction by the computer pioneer, caver and science fiction author Herbert W. Franke, which the photographer Gottfried Jäger discovered as a student in the in the late 1950s. Franke’s reflections on the connections ... More

ARKO Art Center unveils major collection survey highlighting 50 years of Korean contemporary art SEOUL.- The history of the ARKO Art Center collection and its acquisition process is closely connected to the Korean Culture and Arts Foundation (now Arts Council Korea, or ARKO), an organization established in 1973 to implement the Korean government’s culture and arts promotion policies, and to the exhibition history of the Misulhoegwan (now ARKO Art Center), which has been operated by the council. When the Misulhoegwan first opened in 1974, during a period when Korea was lacking in cultural infrastructure, it offered exhibition space for rent at a relatively low cost, supporting the activities of experimental young and emerging artists as well as various groups. As times changed, the early rental-centered approach to exhibition spaces gave way to a museum system centered around independent exhibition planning, while the center’s original ... More
Palm Springs Art Museum presents first comprehensive survey of Lita Albuquerque PALM SPRINGS, CA.- Palm Springs Art Museum announces Lita Albuquerque: Cosmic Land, a solo exhibition on view October 16, 2026 through May 3, 2027. Spanning nearly six decades of her practice, the exhibition marks the first time the celebrated California artist's paintings, sculptures, installations, and films are brought together in a single exhibition. Guiding viewers through a continuous, unfolding journey, Cosmic Land traces the relationship between Earth and cosmos, revealing the terrestrial and celestial as inseparable and the human being as belonging to both at once. Albuquerque's work conveys that the ground beneath our feet is deeply entwined with the broader universe, carrying within it memory, consciousness, and starlight, or as the artist herself wrote in 2014, that “light carries information.” Albuquerque has built a practice rooted in an intentional and ...

IFA art collection exhibition 'Action Bodies' explores movement, collective action, and space BERLIN.- The exhibition Action Bodies continues the artistic-curatorial exploration of the ifa art collection with a focus on how spaces and bodies are perceived and shaped through movement and collective action. Selected artworks from the ifa collection are presented alongside contemporary perspectives, illuminating social orders and opening up possibilities for resistance. In this space of co-existence, textile objects, hybrid bodies and social choreographies gradually unfold. Franz Erhard Walther has been creating interactive textile sculptures since the early 1960s, declaring action an art form in itself and turning viewers into key actors. An important source of inspiration for this exhibition is his “action bodies”, which intertwine object and process, individuals and groups, elements of separation and connection. The hand thinks and the body responds. Abstract ... More
Crespo Foundation presents 'Aftergrowth' featuring Glenkeen Garden artists in Frankfurt FRANKFURT .- “Gardening is a commitment to the future, blind like any act of faith.” Derek Jarman. Glenkeen Garden—“beautiful valley” in Irish—grew out of a similar commitment. For over twenty years, photographer and Crespo Foundation founder Ulrike Crespo (1950 – 2019) worked a stretch of waterlogged farmland overlooking Roaringwater Bay on Ireland's southwest coast into a vast landscaped garden; half cultivated, half kept wild. Her wish was for it to remain, after her passing, a place of contemplation, creative experimentation, and communing. Since 2021, Glenkeen Garden Residencies has brought together artists, writers, musicians, and thinkers who, immerse themselves in the garden and, in a way, continue its caretaking. With Aftergrowth, the Crespo Foundation presents the second exhibition in its Frankfurt Open Space to emerge from ... More
Istituto Svizzero in Rome opens annual group exhibition 'Outlaws' ROME.- The annual group exhibition of the Istituto Svizzero in Rome is titled Outlaws. The project takes the concept of law as its point of departure, questioning its nature as a human convention that appears immutable yet is often subject to historical shifts and internal tensions. The works examine what – and whom – the law governs, and who instead positions themselves above or outside it. These questions unfold across different historical periods and stories, often set in Switzerland. They also engage with the poetic, formal, and sometimes humorous dimensions of legal structures, exploring how rules and diplomacy can shape social realities and open new imaginative possibilities for understanding social justice and human coexistence. The works operate across multiple registers, drawing on figures that have pushed beyond normalised rules and conventions, ... More
Tokyo Arts and Space marks 20-year Seoul exchange with commemorative TOKAS Project exhibition TOKYO.- The TOKAS Project is designed to foster international exchange and inspire reflection on diverse themes such as art and society from multicultural perspectives. In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the exchange between Tokyo Arts and Space (TOKAS) and the partner institutions of Seoul, South Korea, the project welcomes five artists from Japan and South Korea, Eun Jae Pil, Kim Dohee, Koo Donghee, Mino Arata, Park Minha, who have previously participated in the residency program, and who reimagine reality through their own bodily experiences. Throughout the history of art, people have sought to remove the world before them and the living beings around them from the flow of time, anchoring them in place through painting, sculpture, photography, film, and the moving image, in an attempt to imbue them with immortality. Live arts such as theater, ... More
