Roger Vail, untitled, from Rod and Custom, 1967-68. Vintage gelatin silver print, 6 x 8 1/2 inches, mounted 14 x 11 inches.
LA JOLLA, CA.- Joseph Bellows Gallery presents Roger Vail: Rod & Custom, an exhibition of photographs made at Midwestern raceways in 1967 and 1968. Among Vail’s earliest sustained bodies of work, the series records the hot rod and custom-car culture that developed around regional drag strips during the late 1960s. Vail was drawn not only to the automobiles themselves, but to the broader environment surrounding them. Drivers, spectators, mechanics, girlfriends, machinery, signage, and the improvised architecture of the track all enter into his pictures. The customized cars, with their exaggerated forms, polished surfaces, exposed engines, and hand-built modifications, become part of a larger portrait of American youth culture and its particular combination of ingenuity, performance, competition, and style. Working in black and white, Vail photographed with a directness that gives close attention to both social observation and visual form. Figures are frequently set against the graphic shapes of a ...

NEWCASTLE.- Though they are synonymous with taking inspiration from medieval and early Renaissance visual art, the Pre-Raphaelites were also hugely influenced by literature, ranging from Dante Aligheri (1265-1321) and Geoffrey Chaucer (c.1343-1400) to John Keats (1795-1821) and that giant of Victorian poetry, Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892). Uniquely exploring these connections between Pre-Raphaelite art and poetry, this major exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery will feature over 100 masterpiece paintings, drawings and objects by luminaries of the movement (founded in 1848) by artists such as William Holman Hunt (1827-1910), John Everett Millais (1829-1896), Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898), Arthur Hughes (1832-1915), and the influential poet-painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) and poet and designer William Morris (1834-1896). Important emphasis on contemporary female artists and poets including ... More
TORONTO.- The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is home to North America’s largest museum collection of historic picture frames, and this fall the museum invites visitors to discover the artistry that surrounds the art.

NEW YORK, NY.- There are books you read, books you consult, and books you keep returning to simply because they are beautiful objects. National Geographic: Around the World in 125 Years belongs firmly in the third category. Published by TASCHEN in three substantial hardcover volumes, the set is less a conventional photography book than a visual history of how the world has been seen, documented, interpreted, and sometimes misunderstood since the late 19th century. Across 1,356 pages, it follows National Geographic from its earliest black-and-white imagery through autochromes, Kodachrome, underwater photography, wildlife photography, and the digital age. The geographical structure gives the collection an almost epic sweep. The journey begins in the Americas and Antarctica, continues through Europe and Africa, and concludes in Asia and Oceania. That arrangement makes the books feel like an expedition rather than an archive. One moves across continent ... More
J. K. Rowling. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. [London]: Bloomsbury, [1997].
DALLAS, TX.- Before the films, the theme parks and the worldwide phenomenon, there were just 500 hardcover copies. On Oct. 14, one of those first printings of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone sold for $400,000 at Heritage Auctions, achieving the second-highest auction price for the title, behind the $471,000 record Heritage established in December 2021. The book led Heritage’s Rare Books Signature® Auction, which realized $2.158 million across 384 lots and participation from 1,077 bidders worldwide. Strong results extended from modern literary landmarks to rare early English Bibles. “Harry Potter’s place in literary history began with an extraordinarily small hardcover printing, most of it destined for public libraries,” says Heritage Auctions Executive Vice President Joe Maddalena. “Collectors recognize how few opportunities there are to own one of those original 500 copies. This result speaks to both that scarcity and the lasting attachmen ... More

DALLAS, TX.- One of the most coveted electric guitars ever made has established a new auction benchmark at Heritage Auctions. An exceptionally preserved 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard Sunburst sold for $781,250 in the Oct. 15 Vintage Guitars and Musical Instruments Signature® Auction, setting a world auction record for a vintage guitar without celebrity provenance.

The Les Paul surpassed the previous benchmark of $611,000, paid for a 1958/63 Gibson Explorer at Skinner on Oct. 15, 2006, by $170,250, or approximately 28 percent. “This is a landmark result for vintage guitars and for our department,” says Aaron Piscopo, Director of Vintage Guitars & Musical Instruments at Heritage Auctions. “The 1959 Les Paul Standard has long been one of the most sought-after electric guitars in the world, ...

LONDON.- Art Fund has stepped in to save 22 artworks from the Dartington Hall Collection for the nation, providing an exceptional grant to fund a joint acquisition by The Box, Plymouth, and the Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery (RAMM), Exeter. The collection of works by leading British Modernist artists has been acquired in its entirety through a private sale brokered by Phillips ahead of its Modern & Contemporary Art auctions during Frieze Week in London.

Maya Lin (American, b. 1959). The Hudson Bight, 2018. Aluminum. Collection of the Hudson River Museum. Gift of the artist and Pace Gallery, 2026 (2026.2).
YONKERS, NY.- The Hudson River Museum announced the acquisition of The Hudson Bight by acclaimed artist, architectural designer, and environmental advocate Maya Lin, recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, and the National Medal of Arts. Widely regarded as one of the most influential American artists of her generation, Lin has cultivated a multidisciplinary practice that bridges art, architecture, science, and environmental stewardship. Originally created as the site-specific centerpiece of HRM's acclaimed 2018-19 solo exhibition Maya Lin: A River Is a Drawing, The Hudson Bight transforms scientific data into a single monumental hanging sculpture that reveals the hidden underwater landscape connecting the Hudson River to the Atlantic Ocean. The acquisition secures for the Museum's permanent collection a work by one of the foremost artists of our time and reinforces HRM's commitment to exploring the intersection of art, science, and the environment. The H ... More
AMILLY.- Éléonore False is turning the upper gallery of Les Tanneries into a shifting landscape of shadows, fragments and luminous forms with Sœur de nuit, an immersive exhibition opening October 17, 2026 and continuing through February 28, 2027. The exhibition forms the second half of a two-part project begun with Sœur de jour at the Centre de Création Contemporaine Olivier Debré in Tours. Rather than simply transferring works from one institution to another, False uses the sharply different architecture of Les Tanneries - a former industrial site converted into a contemporary art center - to reconsider how her images, sculptures and textiles inhabit space. At the center of the installation is a large-scale scenographic work also titled Sœur de nuit. Black sequined tulle stretches through the gallery, moving across walls and architectural volumes and dividing the space into a sequence of rooms, thresholds and shifting viewpoints. Fragmented human bodies, animals, botanical forms ... More
CINCINNATI, OH.- The Taft Museum of Art, in partnership with the Charley and Edie Harper Art Studio, presents Edie McKee Harper: Modernist at Play, on view October 17, 2026, through January 24, 2027. This landmark exhibition marks the first solo museum presentation devoted to the work of Edie McKee Harper (1922–2010), a Cincinnati-based artist whose prolific career spanned more than six decades and a remarkable range of media. Accompanied by a comprehensive catalog and new scholarly research, the exhibition brings together more than 100 works offering a long-overdue exploration of the breadth and depth of Harper’s distinctive artistic vision and her lasting contributions to mid-20th century American art and design. Modernist at Play traces Harper’s creative journey through themes she returned to throughout her career: the American landscape, abstraction, storytelling, and the animal world—especially domestic cats. Resisting easy categorization, her work reflects a sustained artistic ... More

National Center for Art Research presents JUMP program artists in Sydney, Lisbon and Los Angeles LOS ANGELES, CA.- Emerging Japanese artists present new work at museums in Sydney, Lisbon and Los Angeles through Japan's JUMP program. Supported by the Japanese Government, the JUMP pairs each artist with a Japanese curator and an overseas partner museum. The National Center for Art Research (NCAR), Japan, announces three overseas exhibitions resulting from the JUMP, Global Collaboration Program for Emerging Artists and Curators from Japan, a professional development program organized by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Government of Japan, the Japan Arts Council, and NCAR to support the international careers of emerging Japanese artists and early-career curators.

Kate Newby transforms gallery architecture in new solo exhibition 'Can't find water' PARIS.- Born in Aotearoa, New Zealand, Kate Newby lives and works in South Texas. For more than twenty years, she has developed a practice that pushes the boundaries of sculpture and blurs the lines between object, architecture, and landscape. Rather than simply occupying a site, her works alter how a place is understood and experienced, taking part in the very experience of inhabiting it. Can’t find water presents a body of recent works by Kate Newby. Following on from her bronze air vents installed at the gallery entrance in 2022, the new sculptures occupy the exhibition space in all its dimensions. New glass windows cut into the walls bring light into previously enclosed spaces, while ceramic forms extend across the walls and from floor to ceiling. Together with suspended glass works, they work their way into the building’s very masonry, altering the architecture itself. Working with a limited range of materials - clay, bronze, glass, and plant fibre - Kate Newby explores their po ... More
Van Abbemuseum reimagines its original 1936 architecture in 'Museum as Sundial' EINDHOVEN.- The Van Abbemuseum presents Museum as Sundial, a reorientation of the museum that takes the sundial, one of humanity's oldest technologies for finding direction, as a tool for orientation in the present. Bringing together eleven artists and designers across sculpture, film, architecture, videogame design, sound, performance, performance and live-action role-play, alongside special loans from archives and collections, the exhibition asks how a museum might help us find direction in times of profound change. The starting point is the Van Abbemuseum's original 1936 building, designed in dialogue with the sun. Museum as Sundial returns to this founding logic: the museum becomes a sundial, its central gallery a point of orientation and its galleries vectors connecting artworks to Eindhoven and beyond, moving backwards towards archaeology, ...

Kunsthuis Syb presents 'Family Album', a group survey on queer kinship and chosen family BEETSTERZWAAG.- Kunsthuis Syb presents Family Album, a group exhibition with newly commissioned and existing works by Ulises Carrión, Sara Sejin Chang (Sara van der Heide), Robert Glück, Hervé Guibert, Tirdad Hashemi, Hetty Huisman, Peter Hujar, Bastienne Kramer, Matthew Lutz-Kinoy, Ugo Rondinone, and Mikołaj Sobczak. The exhibition questions how a domestic atmosphere can be reimagined when traditional family structures are absent or insufficient. The artworks introduce a constellation of friends, companion-lovers, relatives, and ghosts, all of whom form rituals and bonds. The notion of “family resemblance”, or Familienähnlichkeit, by philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein is taken as a cue to bring together works that share no single essential feature but rather a series of overlapping similarities. “For if you look at them you will not see ...
