NEW YORK, NY.- On 29 June 1958, a seventeen-year-old Brazilian named Edson Arantes do Nascimento stepped onto the pitch at Stockholm’s Rasunda Stadium and changed football history forever. Scoring twice as Brazil defeated Sweden 5–2 to claim its first World Cup title, the teenager already known simply as Pelé became the youngest player ever to score in a World Cup Final, a record that still stands today. At the final whistle, overcome by the magnitude of the moment, Pelé collapsed into tears on the shoulder of teammate Djalma Santos. The image would become one of the defining photographs in the history of sport. Now, as the world anticipates the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Sotheby’s announces that Pelé’s match-worn number 10 shirt from the 1958 FIFA World Cup Final will headline The Beautiful Game, a dedicated auction celebrating the most significant objects in football history. Open for bidding from 29 June–16 July, the sale will be placed on public view at Sotheby’s historic ... More
Turnbull in his studio, London, 1960. Photo: Kim Lim.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Across painting and sculpture, Scottish artist William Turnbull (1922–2012) explored the transhistorical power of elemental forms. Origins (1946–1959) surveys the transformative first period of the artist’s oeuvre. Confronting a crisis of meaning in the wake of World War II, Turnbull foregrounded art’s role as part of the physical world, a connective tissue between the prehistoric past and the present. Bookended by his time in Surrealist Paris and Abstract Expressionist New York, these years were punctuated by his inclusion in some of the most important exhibitions in modern British art. All the while, Turnbull iterated on his key motifs—the horse, the standing figure, and the human head among them—in an eternal return that nonetheless propelled him forward. “Each new excavation,” he wrote in 1956, “is another step into the future.” Born in Dundee, Scotland, in 1922, Turnbull left school at fifteen and soon after began working as an il ...

An Egyptian Limestone pair statue of the Royal Acquaintances Nebefwy and Mes-sat. Estimate on request.
LONDON.- Christie's will offer an important Egyptian Limestone Pair Statue of the Royal Acquaintances Nebefwy and Mes-sat, dating to the Old Kingdom, Mid to Late 5th Dynasty, circa 2400–2300 B.C. (estimate on request). The work will come to auction in The Exceptional Sale: Masterworks Across Cultures in London on 30 June 2026.

The hieroglyphic inscription identifies the couple and their son, Meh-er-nefer, who is recorded as the dedicant of the monument in honour of his parents. Nebefwy is shown in a poised striding stance, his left leg advanced, wearing a pleated kilt and finely modelled close-fitting wig, while Mes-sat stands intimately beside him, her arm placed around his back in a gesture ...

Marilyn Monroe Christian Dior Wool Skirt Suit Worn on Her Honeymoon Getaway with Joe DiMaggio in January 1954.
DALLAS, TX.- On what would have been Marilyn Monroe’s 100th birthday, collectors around the world celebrated the enduring appeal of Hollywood's most iconic star during Heritage Auctions’ June 1 The Marilyn Monroe Collection from the Estate of Norman and Hedda Rosten Hollywood/Entertainment Signature® Auction, which realized just over $2.5 million and established multiple world records.

The sale featured deeply personal wardrobe pieces, jewelry, correspondence, photographs and keepsakes that illuminated Monroe’s private ... More
Walter Swennen, Untitled, n.d. Watercolour and pastel on paper, 28.2 × 21 cm. 11 1⁄8 × 8 1⁄4 in. Courtesy Els and Julie Swennen and Xavier Hufkens, Brussels. Photo: Thomas Merl.
BRUSSELS.- Walter Swennen often said that painting is born from a bifurcation, and that a project only becomes a work when something unforeseen emerges in the course of its making: when a leap into the unknown, an error finds its way into the image. Marking the first exhibition dedicated to the artist since his passing in 2025, Xavier Hufkens presents a significant group of previously unseen works on paper, curated by Yann Chateigné Tytelman. In these works, which span much of Walter Swennen’s career, it is the process itself—the artist’s laboratory—that comes into view. Sketches, tests, improvisations, repetitions, obsessions, errors: figures and motifs recur and transform, styles evolve and intermingle, techniques and supports multiply, all revealing ... More
Carolina Ponte, Coluna Mandacaru (Mandacaru Column). Ceramic and crochet, 36 x 23 x 15 inches.
NEW YORK, NY.- Winston Wächter Fine Art presents Entangled, an exhibition featuring works by Carolina Ponte, Dinorá Justice and Livia Mourao. In this group exhibition, the artists have come together to present a kaleidoscopic perspective of the ways in which the natural systems that we live in are enmeshed. Carolina Ponte works in a variety of mediums, including painting, watercolor, ceramics and crochet. Her work is centered on the idea of ornamentation embedded in everyday life and the enduring presence of traditional handcraft practices. Fascinated by the transformation of materials, Ponte uses yarn and clay, transforming them into installations and sculptures that pull each material out of their everyday context, placing them prominently in the realm of fine art. As a result, the works suggest a sense of uncontrolled growth, with accumulations of color and pattern that, at first, may appear unreadable. However, upon closer inspection, the viewer may begin to ... More

Quartz Cluster & Signed Copy of "Collecting Crystals: The Guide to Quartz in Arkansas".
DALLAS, TX.- When she met her future husband some 55 years ago in Bremerton, Washington, across Puget Sound from Seattle, Hisami McNeil knew very little about the hobby he had pursued since he was a child. Growing up near the mineral-rich region of Hiddenite, N.C., Jimmy McNeil turned a suggestion from his parents into a lifelong search, a hunt that began with the pursuit of quartz, fossils and gemstones. As his interest grew, so too did his collection, a trove that he expanded in the field and at swaps, rock shows and mineral gatherings. He introduced his future wife to his hobby, and together they built an extraordinary collection of minerals, nearly 200 of which will find new homes when they are sold in The Collection of Jimmy & Hisami McNeil Fine Minerals Signature® Auction June 27 at Heritage Auctions. “This collection, some of which was pulled from some less-than-fertile locations, is remarkable, and ...

Installation view.
LONDON.- John Currin’s show at the Savile Row gallery focuses on a new series of paintings that set pairs or triplets of women with exaggerated physiques in ornamental, Arcadian landscapes. In the sequence of twelve mid-size paintings, performative models, reinterpreted from the pages of 1970s clothing catalogues, are poised in a confident display that provides Currin with the means to explore classical painting. In his rendering of the tension of fabric stretched tight across breasts, the light on feathered leaves and gnarled trunks, the radiant softness of flesh and hair, and the self-conscious assembly of limbs, these tableaus allow Currin to make masterful paintings that replace a disappointing contemporary world, with a ‘lost golden world’ that holds his nostalgia for the past. A group of five new drawings in ink on washed paper interpret the paintings in a new medium and sketches from his process are shown alongside the finished works. Currin was the opening exhibition of ... More
FRANKFURT.- As cities around the world confront housing shortages, rising rents, climate pressure and the challenge of building more inclusive communities, Kunststiftung DZ BANK has opened an exhibition that begins with a simple but urgent question: How do we want to live? Presented in Frankfurt as part of World Design Capital 2026, the exhibition looks at urban life through the lens of art, architecture, nature and social imagination. Rather than treating the city only as a built environment, the show asks how streets, housing complexes, courtyards, green spaces and everyday meeting points shape the way people live together. At the center of the exhibition are four installation-based works that examine major models of urban development in Europe. Together, they show that architecture is never neutral. Buildings and neighborhoods carry political ideas, social ambitions and ... More

Peter Blum Gallery announces summer group exhibition Material Witness NEW YORK, NY.- Peter Blum Gallery presents Material Witness, a group exhibition of new and recent works by Candida Alvarez, Teresa Baker, Nicholas Galanin, Tomashi Jackson, Kapwani Kiwanga, and Brenda Mallory. The exhibition is on view at 176 Grand Street, New York from June 4 through July 24, 2026. The exhibition Material Witness brings together artists who treat physical matter as an active archival record. Moving beyond pure abstraction, the works utilize materials to surface specific narratives. By interrogating the associations of their media, the artists transform the gallery into a site of testimony. Here, the "tactile" becomes a form of "telling," revealing how histories are woven and layered into the very structures of the contemporary world. In these works, the choice of medium is never neutral; rather, the material carries the weight of its own sociopolitical ... More
CARBON 12 gallery announces group exhibition The Two Walks curated by Judy Karkour DUBAI.- CARBON 12 presents The Two Walks, a group show of new and archival works on paper selected by Judy Karkour. Bringing together 14 artists with distinct material and artistic backgrounds, the exhibition explores paper as a medium that challenges scale as grandiose. Each artist uses and manipulates it in different ways that expand beyond its traditional associations. The Two Walks refers to the corridor that souls use to travel between worlds, to the thousand lives that live within one, and to those who resist conformity. There is something uniquely revealing about working with paper. It is completely within this intimate arena that artists have the ability to express hidden existential thoroughfare, complex intentions, and explore innovative techniques. Paper works are often associated with sketches, a predecessor to the fully realized work. Here, that notion ... More
Dolby Chadwick Gallery announces Guy Diehl solo exhibition The Quiet Eye SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Dolby Chadwick Gallery presents The Quiet Eye, an exhibition of recent paintings by Guy Diehl. The quiet eye, as Diehl practices it, is an eye without hierarchy. In his hands, a baguette half-wrapped in paper, a bag of tangerines sealed in cellophane, a take-out container and its plastic fork receive the same luminous, unhurried attention as a postcard reproduction of a Giorgione, a fragment of O’Keefe’s floral abstractions, the concentric rings of a Delaunay. Looking, for Diehl, is itself a form of reverence—and that reverence need not discriminate. Diehl has long engaged in “conversations” with artists across history. This time, Cotán, Giorgione, Malevich, Delaunay, O’Keefe, Morandi, and Schiele appear in the room as interlocutors, their images folded into arrangements of bottles, shells, glass marbles, wrapped parcels. He chooses ... More
Maureen Paley gallery hosts solo display by British artist Delaine Le Bas LONDON.- Maureen Paley presents Leap, the first exhibition of Delaine Le Bas at the gallery. Her work spans objects, environments, textiles, costumes, and performances, occupying the intersection of the personal and the political, in dialogue with questions about land, movement, gender, and discrimination. At the centre of the exhibition is The Goddess, a figure Le Bas envisions as a connective thread between her past and current practices, and through which all other works in the show are linked. The sculpture combines newly handmade elements with found objects, incorporating collected textiles, handkerchiefs, and vintage fabrics. As Le Bas writes: "The Goddess is a call to action in the times we now find ourselves, their heart visible through their fragile torso, their skirt graffitied to reflect where we are now." Also on view is a new series of works in Murano ... More
The summer program of the Fondazione POMA Liberatutti in Pescia will be dedicated to photography PESCIA.- From June 4 to September 6, 2026, the foundation presents The Last Photographer – Giovanni Savino, curated by Marta Convalle. The exhibition brings together a selection of images born from the artist’s encounters with people and objects that have stood before the lenses of his many cameras. Special attention is given to his portraits with closed eyes: images in which he captures dreams, thoughts, and details of the face that we often overlook, drawn instead to the depth of the eyes. Giovanni Savino was born in Pistoia, but is effectively a New Yorker, as life took him abroad early, first to England and then to the United States. At first, he wanted to be a musician — a trumpet player, to be precise. Later, he considered becoming an acoustic engineer, a documentary filmmaker, and finally a photographer, an activity that has accompanied him constantly ... More
Contemporary Art Centre Vilnius opens major group exhibition Superglue VILNIUS.- At the end of April 2026, the Contemporary Art Centre in Vilnius opened the new international group exhibition, Superglue, or Inventing the Friend. It marks a new phase for the CAC, inaugurating the exhibition programme under its new director, Valentinas Klimašauskas. Predominantly presenting figurative art, the exhibition invites a reconsideration of the CAC’s relationship with its audience. Bringing together historical and contemporary works, Superglue, or Inventing the Friend reflects on encounters with the other through different notions of otherness, the emergence of the posthuman figure, and contemporary art itself as something not entirely knowable—something foreign. Assemblages of new and historical figures, individual and collective, implicitly raise the question: what kind of glue today could bind together a fragmented, combative, and rather ... More

Influential 1980s documentary Sherman's March returns to Film Forum in 4K NEW YORK, NY.- Acclaimed documentarian Ross McElwee’s profoundly personal, influential essay-film Sherman's March will run in a new 4K restoration at Film Forum from Friday, July 3 through Thursday, July 9. Armed with a 16mm camera and a grant to make a documentary about the lingering aftermath of William Tecumseh Sherman’s 1864 march to the sea, Ross McElwee gets sidetracked. After his girlfriend breaks up with him, Ross shifts his attention from the historical to the personal, to the battlefield of modern love, and embarks on a sociological chronicle that documents the courting rites and rituals of the New South. A generous and humanistic portrait of several remarkable women that Ross meets along the way, Sherman's March sketches its characters with novelistic sensitivity: Pat, an aspiring actress with a yen for Burt Reynolds; Claudia, a roller-skating ...

On a day like today, Austrian painter, printmaker and architect Wolf Huber died
June 03, 1553. Wolf Huber (c.?1485 - 3 June 1553) was an Austrian- German painter, printmaker, and architect, who worked in Passau, Germany for most of his life as a leading member of the Danube school. None of Huber's architectural work has survived, and few of his paintings are extant. Huber's surviving drawings suggest a number of multi-figured compositions, now lost; his known graphic output is limited to thirteen woodcuts. In this image: The Mourning of Christ (1524), by Wolf Huber.
