Kathleen Kucka, Matrix - Double Fan, 2025. Ink on Canvas, 13 1/2 x 8 inches, 34.3 x 20.3 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.-Heather Gaudio Fine Art to make FPDA Print Fair debut with two distinct printmaking collaborations by gallery artists Simona Prives and Kathleen Kucka. New York–based artist Simona Prives partnered with pioneering master printmaker Dan Welden and print studio Brooklyn Editions to produce a suite of works that merge traditional and alternative printmaking techniques. The series combines intaglio, soft ground etching, solar plate, archival pigment printing and chine collé resulting in intricately layered imagery that bridges the organic and the man-made. In these prints, maps, topographical patterns, construction plans, and references to both historical and contemporary locations intertwine to form intricate new terrains rendered in nebulous, atmospheric compositions. Prives’ dreamlike landscapes, imbued with elusive open-ended narratives, are released ... More
MADRID.- There are few paintings in the world that invite viewers to linger quite like The Garden of Earthly Delights. At the Museo Nacional del Prado, that sense of fascination took center stage once again on April 5, as the museum marked its now-established Bosch Day with a fresh, technology-driven perspective on the iconic masterpiece. The date is more than symbolic. It traces back to April 5, 1474—the first known written reference to Hieronymus Bosch, when he appeared as a witness in a notarial document in the Netherlands. What began as a historical footnote has evolved into an annual invitation: to slow down, look closely, and rediscover an artist whose imagination still feels startlingly modern. This year’s celebration leaned into that idea of looking again—but with a 21st-century twist. Under the project “Counting The Garden of Earthly Delights,” the Prado partnered with Sherpa.ai to analyze the painting using artificial intelligence. The goal was simple in conce ... More

DENVER, PA.- A pre-1915 Case 6346½ three-back spring whittler with old Rogers bone handles salesman’s sample more than doubled the $4,000 high estimate to realize $9,225 at Morphy’s Fine Knives: A Quality Lifetime Collection auction held February 25, 2026. The auction was packed with 956 lots of edged weapons, armor and militaria, all from one collector, and totaled more than $900,000. The collector, who lives in Pennsylvania but requested anonymity, was a regular at knife and gun shows across the US, as well as at antique shows, flea markets and auctions. Now that he’s older and approaching retirement, he decided to part ways with his 50-year collection. “The sale was a blessing,” he said. “Now other folks can enjoy these wonderful pieces of history.” The aforementioned three-back spring whittler salesman’s sample was the overall ...

Lygia Clark Brazil, 1920-1988, Study for Espaço Modulado, 1958. Cardboard collage, 30 x 10 cm.
PARIS.- Baró Paris presents Lygia Clark: Anatomie d’une ligne, the second exhibition dedicated to the Brazilian artist by Baró Galeria and the inaugural exhibition of its new permanent space in Paris. Curated by Rolando J. Carmona, the exhibition focuses on key moments in Lygia Clark’s practice, examining the relationship between geometric abstraction, the body, and psychoanalysis. The presentation brings together studies, photographs, cardboard maquettes produced in the 1950s, and Bicho Desfolhado (579), highlighting a decisive phase in the artist’s transition from geometric structures to participatory propositions. A significant part of the works and propositions presented in the exhibition were conceived during Lygia Clark’s time in Paris. Between 1950 and 1952, she studied in the city with Isaac Dobrinsky, Fernand Léger, and Arpad Szenes, and later returned to Paris in self exile during the Brazilian military ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Gary Hume RA (b.1962) is one of the foremost British painters of the last 40 years. In this new book, Martin Gayford explores the evolution of the artist's oeuvre and examines the opportunities and dilemmas that helped to shape Hume's singular pathway. Profusely illustrated, the book underlines Hume's important and unique contribution to British contemporary art and provides a fascinating window into the creation of a rich and varied body of work. Hume came to prominence alongside other artists associated with the Young British Artists generation and his work, often completed using high-gloss industrial paint, fuses high-modernist abstract formalism with an enigmatic, sign-like quality. Although his early work was concerned with the representation of hospital doors, Hume's restless spirit has led him to continue to probe and experiment with his chosen medium and expand his subject matter - from snowmen and wonky wheels to birds, flowers and people. Martin Gayford is an art historian, w ... More

BUDAPEST.- The Ludwig Museum’s collection, which has been developing for several decades, features a number of contemporary works that deal with imaginary visions of the future or interpret the present as a dystopian reflection of the past in some way. The 90 works featured in the exhibition serve as a kind of black mirror: we see not only our present in them, but also a vision of the future that helps us understand what kind of future we want to avoid. The title of the exhibition, Black Mirror, has multiple meanings and is strongly connected to both the present and the past. In contemporary culture, the term primarily refers to the dark surface of switched-off digital displays. In this sense, the concept has become a sign of malfunctions, freezes, or complete system crashes (“black death”). Charlie Brooker’s dystopian series “Black Mirror” has contributed significantly to its ... More

LEÓN.- Collection, emotion, and history shape the 2026 programme at the MUSAC, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León. The study and activation of the MUSAC Collection form the core of the programme, with the exhibitions Is There No Place Like Home? and Quasi-Systems. Two solo exhibitions by leading figures on the Spanish art scene—painter Carlos León (Ceuta, Spain, 1948) and multidisciplinary artist Ana Laura Aláez (Bilbao, Spain,1964)—will shape the summer season. The year concludes in November with a major exhibition devoted to Michelangelo Pistoletto (Biella, Italy, 1933), a central figure in the development of postwar contemporary art and one of the founders of Arte Povera. The programme opens with a new annual reading of the MUSAC Collection curated by Monserrat Pis Marcos. Titled Is There No Place Like Home?, the exhibition examines the evolving concept of home at a time when housing has become one of the most pressing social concerns in Spain. Bringing together 45 wo ... More

PARIS.- Dialogues brings together a series of encounters between artists whose practices expand the boundaries between functional art and collectible design. Structured across Carpenters Workshop Gallery Paris’ three floors, the exhibition unfolds as a sequence of conversations in which materials, forms and artistic languages meet. Rather than presenting individual practices in isolation, the exhibition invites viewers to consider how artistic languages evolve and how different generations and approaches can converge around shared craftsmanship, experimentation and the expressive potential of functional objects. On the ground floor, the exhibition places the work of Ingrid Donat in dialogue with that of Pierre Jeanneret. Known for her sculptural bronze surfaces and richly symbolic motifs, Donat engages directly with Jeanneret’s modernist furniture, reinterpreting several ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- What began completely by chance has evolved into the body of photographic work that is Marina Sersale’s Liminal Space. Made as she wanders her native city of Rome, Italy, the result is a series of dramatic black and white images of people, sights and scenes; a personal document of the world around her. The book brings together over a decade of work captured in the streets of her hometown Rome and the countries she has visited: a visual exploration of the spaces between light and shadow, reality and imagination. For Sersale, photography is both a way of perceiving everyday life and a means of engaging with it. Since returning to photography in 2012, her lens has captured fleeting moments of human life - ordinary but charged with subtle intensity and intimacy. Lovers, children and passers-by move through timeless urban and coastal landscapes, evoking a feeling that is both familiar and enigmatic. The images feature Rome and Posi ... More

PARIS.- Galleria Continua is presenting, in its Parisian space in the Marais, the new solo exhibition of Manuela Sedmach, Guardatori. Devoted to observation, both of the external world and of interiority, Sedmach invites viewers to pause and immerse themselves in the suspended, mysterious atmospheres of her paintings. Born in Trieste in 1953, Manuela Sedmach now lives in northern Portugal. For over thirty years, the artist has worked with an essential chromatic palette composed of three colors, black, white and Siena earth. This choice has allowed her to explore in depth the multiple nuances and expressive possibilities of these tones, investigating their mutability and infinite variations. Through this rigorous research, Sedmach continues to find new perspectives on nature and its changes. The title of the exhibition, Guardatori (“ viewers ”, in english), refers to one of the series on display, begun by the artist in the late 1980s with oil painting and recently resumed with acrylic ...

Rolex Important Ref. 5513 Submariner Presentation Watch, Inscribed "Corrie Ebbelaar To Commemorate The Fastest Cross Channel Swim In 1971, Rolex London, England - France 10 Hours 43 Minutes, 5-9-71"
DALLAS, TX.- In 1927, a Rolex Oyster watch was proven to be waterproof when England’s Mercedes Gleitze wore it while swimming across the English Channel, after which it remained in perfect working condition. The event helped fulfill founder Hans Wilsdorf’s dream of creating wristwatches that were not only elegant, but also functional and reliable. More than four decades later, Dutch swimmer and coach Corrie Ebbelaar set a record for the fastest cross-channel swim when she made it from England to France in 10 hours, 43 minutes — shattering Greta Anderson’s previous standard by nearly three hours. A Rolex Important Ref. 5513 Submariner Presentation Watch inscribed to Ebbelaar is a magnificent and unique trophy that will be among the top attractions in Heritage’s Watches & Fine Timepieces Signature® Auction April 24. The back is inscribed “Corrie Ebbelaar To Commemorate The Fastest ... More
BRATISLAVA.- Jana Želibská’s solo exhibition The World. Despair – Hope interprets the world in three images as a disturbed yet creative field of the present. The artist develops her visual language of sensuality, affective intensity, symbolic condensation, and ironic short-circuit. She presents the world as irritable. She articulates despair and hope as two affective poles of a shared reality. Since the second half of the 1960s, Jana Želibská has been one of the decisive figures of the Central European neo-avant-garde. From her first solo exhibition, Possibility of Discovery (1967), she has created situations that transform the conditions of reception, introducing a new regime of seeing and a different quality of spectatorship. It is in this sense that Želibská’s work can be read within the broader genealogy of the feminist (neo-)avant-garde. Over the long term, she has devoted herself to cultivating sensibility through shock and to the gradual modelling of female cons ... More

Chakaia Booker headlines Socrates Sculpture Park's 40th anniversary season LONG ISLAND CITY, NY.- Socrates Sculpture Park announces its 2026 season, marking the Park’s 40th anniversary with a constellation of new exhibitions, commissions, and public programs guided by a single animating idea: Begin Again.

At the center of this anniversary season is Artists Choose Artists: The Socrates Annual Fellowship Anniversary, a landmark reimagining of the Park’s longest-running artist program.

558 days of resistance: Sara Sejin Chang's 'Hollands Kabinet' maps the rise of the far-right UTRECHT.- Centraal Museum Utrecht announces the first comprehensive retrospective solo exhibition of Sara Sejin Chang (Sara van der Heide) that opened at Landhuis Oud Amelisweerd, located in Bunnik, The Netherlands. TRANSMUTATION brings together immersive film installations, 558 watercolours and works on textile from the past fifteen years, revealing the interconnections within Chang's multifaceted oeuvre. Centraal Museum Utrecht's programming at Landhuis Oud Amelisweerd is a partner project with Hartwig Art Foundation. In her work, Chang interrogates the colonial and Eurocentric “blueprint” that still has lasting impact both here in Europa and globally. For example, in the emergence of a large-scale, transracial adoption industry rooted in colonial power relations. It is precisely in form, through poetic and enchanting installations, that she tries to undo ... More

Leon Benn navigates the anthropocene in solo survey at Center for Maine Contemporary Art ROCKLAND, ME.- Leon Benn’s adventurously colored, materially inventive paintings combine technical virtuosity and art historical awareness with popular symbols in an extended reflection on the relationships between nature and culture, innocence and experience, and childhood and adulthood. Featuring a suite of new works in which chemical and alchemical processes combine, “The Violet Hour” evokes narratives of creative and destructive forces engaging in a pas de deux. Setting post-apocalyptic landscapes alongside primordial forms and wistful bouquets of flowers, Benn acknowledges our ongoing ecological catastrophe while envisioning a future in which nature displaces the harms wrought by humankind. Benn frequently begins by transferring drawings to linen or canvas by dying them in a Batik-like process. This initial step prepares the substrate ... More
Matthew Higgs curates 'Salon' at Lismore Castle Arts LISMORE.- "Salon is a painting exhibition. It is also an exhibition of paintings. Some forty paintings, made by an intergenerational group of artists are staged throughout Lismore’s galleries in a theatrical mise-en-scène. The exhibition’s title describes a formal device, where the paintings are choreographed in a salon-like hang, often in close proximity to one another—as well as alluding to the idea of the gallery as an animated, social space: literally a ‘salon’, a place where people might come together. The paintings are accompanied by an informal gathering of chairs—sourced from both private and public settings in the Lismore community—which visitors are encouraged to make use of. The paintings in Salon at Lismore Castle Arts are mostly figurative or representational. They are mostly domestically-scaled. If a large-scale painting suggests perhaps a more public ... More

On a day like today, Italian artist Raphael died
April 06, 1520. Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino[a] (March 28 or April 6, 1483 - April 6, 1520), was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Together with Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period. Installation view of Raphael: Sublime Poetry, on view March 29–June 28, 2026 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Photo by Eileen Travell, Courtesy of The Met.
