Stuart Farmery, Slight Return, 2024, wood and pigment, 36 x 16 x 13”
KINGSTON, NY.-68 Prince Street Gallery is excited to announce its upcoming exhibition, A Break in the Clouds, featuring works by Donald Elder, Stuart Farmery, Murray Hochman, Joel Longenecker, Paul Marrocco and Stephen Niccolls. Opening August 30, 2025, this show pre- sents a distinctive exploration of landscape, texture and the fleeting beauty of the natural world. Curated by Alan Goolman, A Break in the Clouds was born from a moment of inspiration—via a quote by Joel Longenecker that describe paintings as slabs of earth, cut out and tilted forward. This concept resonated deeply with Goolman, who envisioned Longenecker’s landscape paint- ings as horizontal, topographical scenes hung vertically. The show’s thematic focus revolves around this idea of shifting perspectives, as well as the feel- ing of anticipation found in moments when the sky begins to clear. Two standout pieces, Hoch- man’s Stain Painting Blue and Lo ... More
Andrew Raftery, Custom Redwood Library blok-printed wallpaper, installation view.
NEWPORT, RI.- The Redwood Library & Athenaeum announces the award of the National Academy of Design’s prestigious Abbey Mural Prize, presented to Andrew Raftery for his custom, block-printed wallpaper that is now permanently installed in the Library’s vestibule. In an age of deskilling, machine printing, and mass production, master printmaker and graphic artist Andrew Raftery is rare both because of his esteem for outmoded and labor-intensive craft traditions, especially those of the eighteenth-century, and because of his unparalleled mastery of these technically exacting practices. Through his commitment to historical materials and methods, Raftery pays homage to the Redwood’s eighteenth-century origins, offering a material matrix through which particular period motifs and narratives can be seen and felt. In this way, he proposes a conception of contemporary art as formed by, and deeply embedded in, its ‘prehistory.’ His wallpaper – a monumental ... More
The obverse of the coin features a chalice.
JERUSALEM.- A bronze coin minted by Jews in Jerusalem during the final year before the destruction of the Second Temple was discovered during archaeological excavations in the Jerusalem Archaeological Garden – Davidson Center conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority in collaboration with the City of David and Jewish Quarter Reconstruction and Development Company. This rare coin, discovered near the southwest corner of the Temple Mount, was minted during the 4th year of the Great Revolt against the Romans. The obverse side of the coin carries the inscription in ancient Hebrew script: “For the Redemption of Zion”– expressing the heartfelt desire of Jerusalem‘s Jews, towards the end of the revolt. Excavations conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority at this site, now in its sixth season, directed Dr. Yuval Baruch, Dr. Filip Vukosavović and Esther Rakow-Mellet, are revealing impressive, monumental remains ranging from the Second Temple period to the Umayyad pe ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Christie's will present The Collection of Vivian Fusillo, a remarkable group of works that reflect a life steeped in creativity, individuality, and an enduring passion for the arts. Highlights from the collection will be offered in Post-War to Present taking place on 30 September in New York, and in the Modern British Art Evening Sale on 22 October in London. Born in Bogue, Kansas, Vivian Fusillo expressed her creativity from a young age—singing, playing accordion, and starring in college theatre productions as the first student in Marymount College's drama program. Her background in performance and fashion shaped her distinctive personal style, once writing, “I cannot control how I am perceived; I can only control how I am presented.” A spirited traveler with a magnetic presence, she caught the eye of Richard Avedon, who photographed her, and Elizabeth Taylor, who gave her a necklace she treasured. Leading the collection in New York is Joan Mitchell's Peinture II, a dyn ... More

BERLIN.- A new exhibition celebrating a major donation to the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin is inviting visitors on a journey into the life and mind of a passionate art collector. Titled "That’s All Me!," the exhibition showcases the generous gift of over 200 works from the late art patron Christoph Müller (1938–2024). This is the second of four planned presentations of the donated collection, with the current show, "Encounters," focusing on how artists have depicted human relationships. The works on display, which include drawings, prints, and watercolors spanning five centuries, explore themes of friendship, family, and social gatherings. According to the museum, these pieces reflect Müller’s own sociable and bustling character, as he was known for nurturing many friendships. The exhibition also delves into the more solitary side of human experience, with portraits and figure studies that capture moments of quiet contemplation. ... More
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Pace will present The Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, Elmgreen & Dragset’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles—and their fourth with the gallery—from September 13 to October 25. This immersive two-part presentation will occupy the main exhibition space and the adjacent south gallery, exploring themes of scale, perception, and psychological distortion through enactments of doubling and resizing. The show follows Elmgreen & Dragset’s recent solo presentations at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris and the Amorepacific Museum of Art in Seoul, and it coincides with the artists’ thirtieth anniversary of working as a duo and the twentieth anniversary of their famed Prada Marfa installation, which was unveiled in Texas in 2005. Renowned for their subversive sculptural interventions, Berlin-based artists Elmgreen & Dragset often examine questions of identity and belonging in their collaborative practice, and they are particularly interested in radical ...

Lee Seung Jio, Nucleus PM-76, 1969. Oil on canvas, 63 3/4 x 63 3/4 in. 162 x 162 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Tina Kim Gallery will present Lee Seung Jio: Nucleus in Resonance, on view from September 18 through November 1, 2025. Marking the gallery’s second solo exhibition of Lee Seung Jio (1941– 1990), a leading figure in postwar Korean geometric abstraction, this presentation surveys Lee’s defining Nucleus series, which he explored consistently from the late 1960s to his final decade. For Lee, the nucleus was more than a formal motif; it functioned as a central point of perception, where energy, rhythm, and sensory experience came together. “I began this [painting] after the launch of the Apollo spacecraft opened my eyes to the spatiality of the universe. It feels like the most fitting way to express the era I live in, so I’ve kept working on it ever since.”1 During Korea’s rapid industrialization and urban expansion in the 1960s, Lee turned to a single, enduring motif: the cylindrical pipe form. Lee’s pipes are both abstract and figurative, existing ... More
SEOUL .- Title Match, the flagship annual exhibition of the Buk-Seoul Museum of Art, marks its twelfth iteration in 2025 by presenting works from Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) and Hong Jin-hwon. This exhibition begins with a critical awareness of the near impossibility of forming a seamlessly connected community in which all the complex interests of its members are reconciled or settled. Through these works by YHCHI and Hong Jin-hwon, the exhibition examines the conditions under which political acts emerge, with both artists exploring how art can intervene in social phenomena and generate new political possibilities. The exhibition title No Middle Ground is drawn from political philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s The Social Contract. By reinterpreting the phrase “there is no middle ground” in relation to the general will, the exhibition ... More

LAUSANNE.- Twenty years after the groundbreaking exhibition reGeneration, Photo Elysée is reasserting its commitment to young artists with Gen Z – Shaping A New Gaze. This new exhibition brings together 66 artists from around the world. Born between the mid-1990s and 2010, this generation questions norms, challenges codes, and redefines its place in a changing world. Through intimate stories, multiple identities, reinvented family ties, and a sensitive exploration of the body and gender, Gen Z gives voice to a multiplicity of perspectives. The artists assert their need for representation and their desire to speak out in an unstable global context. Conceived as an immersion into the contemporary issues shaping this generation, the exhibition is structured around four themes, each offering an insight into the concerns and aspirations of a young generation that creates, questions, demands and reinvents itself. ...

PARIS.- Galerie Miranda's autumn 2025 programme will propose a new dialogue between two bodies of photographic work previously exhibited at the gallery as solo shows: Dirty Windows, black and white documentary series by Merry Alpern from 1994; and Early Color by Jo Ann Callis, staged photographs from 1974-75. Two women artists whose photographs explore the grey zones of sex and power; fiction and reality; freedom, desire and constraint. In 1970s Los Angeles, Jo Ann Callis was juggling the care of two young children, numerous home moves, night school and a pending divorce. Despite these obstacles, she worked constantly to produce her seminal series Early Color. Influenced notably by Paul Outerbridge but also Hans Bellmer and Pierre Molinier, her cinematographic scenes capture the tensions and anxiety of a claustrophobic domestic huis clos where freedom, pleasure and curiosity are bridled. Hitchcockian by their meticulous composition, Callis ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Sean Kelly Gallery participates in The Armory Show at the Javits Center in Hudson Yards this September. The gallery’s booth will feature a dynamic selection of paintings, sculptures, photographs, and works on paper. Anchoring the booth is one of Anthony Olubunmi Akinbola’s new signature durag-based works, which speak to histories of assimilation, transformation, and Black cultural identity while simultaneously reinventing the language of modernist painting. His solo exhibition Camouflage will open on Friday, September 5, at Sean Kelly, New York, just two blocks from the fair.

Finely detailed, intimately scaled portraits of women by Kehinde Wiley, continue to reframe the conventions of portraiture by inserting ... More
Yael Bartana, Mir Zaynen Do!, 2024 (film still).
BERLIN.- Capitain Petzel announced a screening of Yael Bartana’s latest video work Mir Zaynen Do!, on view from 10 to 14 September, coinciding with Berlin Art Week. In communities of the diaspora, music can be a powerful tool for collectively preserving memories. Along with storytelling, traditional languages, and dancing, songs can represent a living home for stateless nations. Commissioned by the Jewish Brazilian art space Casa do Povo, Yael Bartana's video Mir Zaynen Do! (2024) brings together two groups from two different diasporas: Coral Tradição, a Jewish Brazilian choir born from the now-destroyed Yiddishland (a nation whose borders were defined by the reach of the Yiddish language itself), and Ilú Obá De Min, an Afro-Brazilian street music ensemble that stems from Candomblé culture. In an exercise of weaving new possible alliances, Bartana's video is an invitation to imagine the emergence of collective bodies beyond fixed identity labels. The work was shot in the Teatro de Arte lsr ... More

Beyond the book: Aaron Krach transforms found covers into fantasies in new exhibition NEW YORK, NY.- CLAMP will present “Four-Page Books,” a new exhibition of collages by Aaron Krach that transforms the structure of the book itself into a site of fantasy and desire. Fourteen works created between 2024-2025 are built from vintage book covers, each one remade into a hybrid of archive, scrapbook, and dream. Aaron Krach has been collecting and cutting books for years, scavenging images from publications found from shelves, flea markets, and yard sales. In his studio pictures are pulled apart and reordered into small mountains of color and subject. Owls clipped from scientific journals echo the poses of bodybuilders. Ancient statues stand rigid beside men from Blueboy. A Campbell’s soup can (a Pop Art icon) clamors for attention as insistently as a kitten. These collisions spark with humor, camp, and longing. Collages cover the front and back covers, ... More
New exhibition explores the fragile nature of truth in art VIENNA.- In the context of curated by, the gallery festival with international curators in Vienna, Galerie Hubert Winter will present the exhibition BEYOND CERTAINTY, curated by Vanessa Joan Müller. In his notes On Certainty, Ludwig Wittgenstein explores the question of which fundamental certainties in language and thought enable us to understand one another. However, his verbose exploration of such certainties takes an elliptical approach to the insight that there can be no final confirmation. There may be convictions that seem self-evident, but there are no unquestionable assumptions when speaking about the world. Our experience and the possibility of recognition are limited in language – or rather, fragmented. Willem Oorebeek is interested in the relationship between text and image, and in their interplay within what is known as visual communication: sign systems ... More
Felipe Castelblanco: Driftless at Haus for Media Art Oldenburg OLDENBURG.- The Haus for Media Art Oldenburg will present the video installation titled Driftless by Felipe Castelblanco in the Pulverturm (Powder Tower). Pulverturm belongs to the former castle wall of Oldenburg and is the only remaining building of the fortifications of the city. Its history goes back to 1529, when Count Anton I (1505–73) renewed the city’s military facilities. Since 1996, the Pulverturm has been used for cultural purposes during the summer months. Felipe Castelblanco’s Driftless is a three-channel video installation that presents various seascapes as open, public spaces for artistic intervention. In the piece, a performer drifts across vast bodies of water on a makeshift raft, referencing makeshift strategies for border-crossing. This cinematic and performative journey across the planet creates a visual narrative that draws on migration stories and explores ... More
Ilmin Museum of Art presents Figuration Circuits: Dong-A Art Festival and Its Era SEOUL.- Ilmin Museum of Art announces its fall exhibition, Figuration Circuits: Dong-A Art Festival and Its Era (hereafter Figuration Circuits), on view from August 22 to October 26, 2025. Revisiting the Dong-A Art Festival (first launched in 1978), which sparked the discourse of “figuration” in Korean art, the exhibition explores how the aesthetic pursuits of that moment resonate with the current resurgence of figurative art. The exhibition features 98 works by 17 artists, including selections from Ilmin’s permanent collection related to the festival. Figuration Circuits takes as its point of departure the contemporary visual climate in which images appear to precede reality. In other words, we live in an era where reality is thought to be the outcome of images rather than images being an outcome of reality. Under such conditions, the question of how art can lay claim to reality rises with renewed ... More
Opening in Paris: Sixten Sandra Österberg's FLOOD at Andréhn-Schiptjenko PARIS.- Andréhn-Schiptjenko announces Swedish painter Sixten Sandra Österberg’s first solo exhibition in Paris: FLOOD. The opening will take place on Saturday 6 September 2025 from 4-8pm in the presence of the artist and the exhibition will run through Saturday 11 October 2025. Sixten Sandra Österberg is best-known for her portrayal of bodies where figures both emerge and dissolve on the canvas. In this constant pulsion between realism and abstraction, her portraits often represent the community she is part of, while bringing together elements of classical painting. In FLOOD, Österberg continues the exploration of these themes, this time drawing inspiration from the grand compositions of the Pre-Raphaelites and the Victorian movements, with a particular interest in their depiction of long hair. Similarly to Österberg, Pre-Raphaelites aimed to capture their world honestly ... More
Georgia Russell's new exhibition explores the chaos and beauty of our time COLOGNE.- Galerie Karsten Greve Cologne announces The Sea Around Us, a new solo exhibition by Georgia Russell. Opening on the occasion of this year’s DC Open Galleries, the exhibition presents a new body of work including paintings, works on paper, and painterly installations. In stylistic continuity with her distinctive technique of painting with a scalpel, Georgia Russell engages with contemporary social themes in her latest pieces. Combining organza, canvas and paper for the first time, she creates multilayered compositions that reflect the diversity and chaotic dynamism of our present time. The title relates to a general feeling of our time – the sensation of “being at sea.” The flood of events unfolding at a rapid pace poses a challenge both to individuals and to society as a whole. Russell compares to the experience of a sea storm, in which up and down are turned ... More

On a day like today, Swiss painter and sculptor Jean Tinguely died
August 30, 1991. Jean Tinguely (22 May 1925 in Fribourg, Switzerland - 30 August 1991 in Bern) was a Swiss painter and sculptor. He is best known for his sculptural machines or kinetic art, in the Dada tradition; known officially as metamechanics. Tinguely's art satirized the mindless overproduction of material goods in advanced industrial society. In this image: Swiss painter and sculptor Jean Tinguely poses next to one of his sculptural machines at a retrospective exhibition of his kinetic art works on December 6, 1988 at the Centre Beaubourg (Centre Georges Pompidou) in Paris, France.
