The car will be offered exclusively through RM Sotheby’s Sealed platform, with bidding opening on December 8 and closing on December 11. It carries a pre-sale estimate of $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 USD. “Few figures in motorsport have captured the world’s imagination like Ayrton Senna,” said Nick Wiles, RM Sotheby’s Car Specialist. “Anything connected to him, a helmet, a suit, even something he once touched, has become sacred to collectors. Senna transcended the role of driver long before his tragic passing; he became an icon. But even within that realm, there are levels, and this car ... More
Julia Margaret Cameron, Summer Days, 1866. Albumen print on cardboard, 34.0 × 27.6 cm. Museum Ludwig, Cologne.
COLOGNE.- Smizing, squinching, duck face, fish gape, cheese, or prunes: Beauty ideals and social media have given rise to increasingly mercurial trends in portrait photography. Until the late nineteenth century, having one’s photo taken required the sitter to remain absolutely motionless in order to produce a sharp image, which more often than not resulted in a fixed and lifeless expression. Smile! How the Smile Came Into Photography, presented in the Museum Ludwig Photography Rooms, investigates how our “photographic faces” have evolved over time. The show assembles a range of anonymous and artistic portrait photographs from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century to recount a history of the smile. Whether or not we smile when being photographed, or whether we show our teeth, depends on social norms and the photographic technology available. In 1878, the photographer Josef Janssen observed that “the awkward situation in which a person finds themselves at the moment of hav ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Christie's will present Property from Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd from the Collection of Sandra Ferry Rockefeller, a deeply personal and historically significant group of works from the Collection of Sandra Ferry Rockefeller. This remarkable offering reflects a distinct chapter in the Rockefeller family's storied collecting legacy, carefully preserved by Sandra Ferry Rockefeller. The collection showcases the couple's shared vision, spanning Asian art and ceramics, American paintings, decorative arts, and modern and postwar masters. During the 1960s, Mr. and Mrs. John D.

NEW YORK, NY.- Franklin Parrasch Gallery is presenting Still Point, the gallery’s first solo exhibition with Sydney, Australia and New York City based artist Indivi Sutton (b. 2000, New York, NY). The show includes thirteen new paintings made during the past seven months in Sutton's Sydney studio. Indivi Sutton’s sensory relationship with color, “feeling the tones that live within an object, element, or place” as she describes it, resonates within her deeply nuanced study and use of the naturally derived powdered pigments she sources and applies in translucent layers of wash to raw linen. Sutton’s approach to abstraction emanates from the expansiveness of spirituality and the natural world informed by her education at the Rudolf Steiner School in New York City. Sutton’s work explores the interconnectedness of color and the world around her and the relationship between painting and physical phenomena, memory, and emotional interdependence. Her work has been featured in T ... More
Superman #1 (DC, 1939) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white to white pages.
DALLAS, TX.- Three Northern California brothers taking stock of their late mother’s belongings in their family home during the holiday season last year discovered she had for decades held onto a cache of old comic books, tucked away in an attic beneath layers of brittle faded newspapers and cobwebs. Six treasured comics, kept since she and her brother bought them between the Great Depression and the looming World War II, will likely result in a life-changing windfall at Heritage’s Comic Books Signature® Auction November 20-22 — and could include the world’s most valuable comic book. Three months after their discovery, the brothers contacted the Dallas-based Heritage Auctions to discuss the possibility of a sale, leaving a message that crossed the desk of Heritage Auctions Vice President Lon Allen on a Sunday. Within days, he was in San Francisco examining their collection. “They’re in their 50s and 60s, and their mom had always ... More

ROCHESTER, NY.- Thanks to civic leader Abby Bennett and (MAG) and Trustee Doug Bennett ’06S (MBA), and the Sands Family Foundation, the University’s art museum is halfway to its goal of offering free admission to everyone who walks through its doors. The Bennetts and the foundation have committed $3 million to establish the Abby and Doug Bennett and Sands Family Foundation Free for All Endowment. Once the museum raises $6 million for this initiative, it can offer free admission to all visitors permanently. To reach this milestone, the Bennetts and the Sands Family Foundation invite other arts patrons and generous members of the Rochester community and beyond to join them in meeting this challenge. “Bringing our kids to MAG has been one of our favorite things to do with them,” says Doug Bennett. “They have learned to engage with art in their own ways, and we have built unforgettable memories as a family. We feel strongly that every family in this ... More
LOS ANGELES, CA.- François Ghebaly is presenting Zippers, Victoria Gitman’s latest exhibition at the Los Angeles gallery. Miami-based Argentine artist Victoria Gitman creates diminutive, jewel-like oil paintings that mine ideas of illusionism, the sensorium, and histories of high abstraction. Drawing from found and vintage objects like accessories and intricate textiles, she crafts painstaking, dizzyingly realistic images that interlink physical and visual senses. Her latest exhibition, Zippers, features works from a new series depicting fields of white fur interrupted by zippers in various states of partial opening. Their subtle variations in color and composition speak to Gitman’s continued interest in seriality and the material and perceptual properties of the medium. Set across the sprawling white walls of the gallery space are five intimate paintings that hover in and out of visibility. From a distance, the white fur nearly dissolves into the walls, with only the emphatic ... More
James Siena, Anion, 2023. Acrylic and graphite on linen, 75 x 59 inches, 190.5 x 149.9 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery opened an exhibition of works by James Siena, on view 30 October through 20 December 2025 at 511 West 22nd Street. The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated publication featuring an essay by Geoffrey Young. Before the “dot com” boom of the mid-90s made code a cultural cornerstone, Siena was already exploring the aesthetics of computational logic. By giving form to the concepts of artificial intelligence and data transmission, he was an early voice in the nascent intersection between art and code. To articulate these concepts, Siena developed a distinctive approach, employing self-imposed rulesets to govern his mark making; these systems, often referred to as “visual algorithms,” function as constraints to guide his hand through intricate, labyrinthine pattern-making. Sinewy lines conjoin only to split off in fractal directions, while his marks oscillate between figure and ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Friedrichs Pontone announces Alone, Together: The Religion of Solitude, a group exhibition featuring works by eighteen artists. Alone, Together: The Religion of Solitude is a provocation of what the self experiences when all is stripped away. In a time when societal structures foster communication without true community, this show reclaims the bliss of solitary human experience—invoking a sense of nostalgia, quiet reflection, and the profound beauty found in solitude–luxuries too often overlooked in our impersonal world. Parallel to our growing interconnectedness, there has been a quiet surrendering- a slowly lost sense of the self in solitude- whether that be a bodily sensation, a mental exertion, or simply in a space we feel at home. Moreover, to what extent has that same omnipresent power of connectivity shaped not just how we communicate, but who we are? Our current architecture of society has blurred ... More
BERKELEY, CALIF.- The Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive inaugurated a site-specific installation by Sarah Cain, the first installment in a new commissioning series at the museum entitled Atrium Projects. Sarah Cain: To—you know—you transforms the museum’s Barbara Bakar Atrium with a vibrant large-scale painting and immersive environment, spanning the interstitial space’s soaring height and extending onto the floor. The installation also includes painted canvases, couches, and a stained-glass window incorporated into the museum’s architecture. Atrium Projects / Sarah Cain: To—you know—you marks a return to Berkeley for Cain, a Los Angeles-based artist who previously exhibited at BAMPFA in 2006 as a graduate student in UC Berkeley’s MFA program. The work’s title is inspired by the dedication in Diane Seuss’s poetry collection frank: sonnets (2021), implying a direct and intimate connection with the reader that reflects the spirit of Cain’s ...

Philemona Williamson, Uneven Terrain, 2025, oil on canvas, 48 x 56 in (121.9 x 142.2 cm).
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Jenkins Johnson Gallery, San Francisco, is presenting Disproportionate Upheavals, the gallery’s second solo exhibition with narrative painter Philemona Williamson. The exhibition remains on view through December 20, 2025. Philemona Williamson, based in New Jersey, is known for her figurative paintings. Williamson’s narratives of childhood and adolescence create a space of fable and memory investigating the dissonance, possibility, and liminal state of transition. With a career spanning over forty years, she creates an iconography both personal and universal. Figures are dynamic, passionate, volatile, familiar, and strange—moving through moments of uncertainty and landscapes beyond control. Toys and objects act as repositories of emotion and memory. Poetic and open-ended, the paintings invite viewers to tap into their own stories of change, chaos, and possibility. Disproportionate Upheavals ... More

Rebekka Steiger's enigmatic worlds unfold in Beijing BEIJING.- Galerie Urs Meile is presenting Nightly Encounter, a solo exhibition by the Swiss artist Rebekka Steiger (b. 1993). The exhibition presents a series of works created during her most recent residencies in Beijing. Through the integration of diverse cultural motifs and experimental materials, the artist constructs a distinctive visual language that unfolds layered narratives, reflecting on the complex interplay between nature and humanity. As both a painter and a storyteller, Steiger is obsessed with symbolically charged imagery that encompasses a wide spectrum of cultural implications. Her practice allows viewers to glimpse histories, classical mythology, and folklore spanning Europe and Asia, which she transforms into inspiration for her stories. For example, in her work 一夜邂逅 II (2025, tempera and acrylic ink on canvas, 145 × 200 cm), she links the fox ... More
Robert Gunderman's 'Being Home' transforms nature's smallest moments into vast meditations LOS ANGELES, CA.- Wilding Cran Gallery presenting Being Home, an exhibition of new paintings by Robert Gunderman. With this exhibition, Gunderman explores the deep, often unseen mechanisms of the natural world through large - scale, vividly hued canvases that transform overlooked moments - an owl’s eye, a sprouting seed, a horizon line - into profound meditations on life, time, and transformation. Using rich, contrasting colors and recurring circular motifs, Gunderman dissolves traditional distinctions between landscape, symbol, and diagram, inviting viewers into an immersive visual language where boundaries are always in flux. Gunderman’s approach to painting is one of close observation and poetic inquiry. Drawing from his encounters with the land—whether a bear crossing his property or the barely perceptible shift of a horizon - he avoids the grand ... More
Bundeskunsthalle announces 2026 exhibition programme BONN.- “What Connects us. Dimensions of Social Sustainability” is the programmatic theme for 2026 at the Bundeskunsthalle. Following last year's focus on ecological sustainability, we now want to turn our attention to perspectives on social responsibility, asking how art, education, cultural exchange, and dialogue can contribute to more public engagement and strengthen societal relationships. This is not only reflected in exhibitions at the Bundeskunsthalle, but also in a comprehensive audit of educational programs, inclusion and social participation. We want to further widen our horizon internationally and also explore diverse local socio-cultural environments. With our exhibition programs we turn our attention to the Global South and explore the Indigenous worlds of the Amazon region, showcase a central figure in queer New York of the 1970s and 80s, delve ...

When Bauchant submitted works to the Salon d’Automne in Paris for the first time in 1921, ... More
Whispers on the Horizon: Taipei Biennial opens 14th edition TAIPEI.- The 14th edition of the Taipei Biennial, Whispers on the Horizon, opened on November 1 at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum (TFAM). Curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath (Directors of Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, Berlin), the exhibition brings together about 150 works of 72 artists from 37 cities. The presentation includes 34 new commissions and site-specific installations, spanning painting, sculpture, film, photography, and performance. Whispers on the Horizon explores yearning as an enduring human drive that reaches past the possible, knowing it will never hold, and still refuses to yield. It is both personal and collective, fragile and defiant; the thread that connects longing to imagination and change. The exhibition expresses a desire to speak about the future in a tone of quiet insistence rather than overt proclamation. “Whispers” evokes ... More
Samdani Art Foundation launches TONDRA DHAKA.- The Samdani Art Foundation launches TONDRA, a new initiative uniting ten Bangladeshi artists with a global team of curators and mentors to create score-based works that, like dreams, transcend time and place. Commissioned by the Foundation, these projects will unfold across partner institutions at the end of 2026—sharing a global dream of what becomes possible when ideas can travel, even when bodies cannot. In Bangla, “Tondra” describes a state where dreams and reality collide—a lucid dream that captivates the soul. It is also a common female name in Bangladesh, popularized in the 1990s and 2000s by a character in a novel by Humayun Ahmed, whose work continues to shape Bengali popular imagination through literature and film. For many, the name carries a wave of nostalgia tied to love, longing, and memory. The story of TONDRA emerged ... More

On a day like today, sculptor Antonio Canova was born
November 01, 1757. Antonio Canova (1 November 1757 - 13 October 1822) was an Italian Neoclassical sculptor, famous for his marble sculptures. Often regarded as the greatest of the Neoclassical artists, his sculpture was inspired by the Baroque and the classical revival, and has been characterised as having avoided the melodramatics of the former, and the cold artificiality of the latter. In this image: Antonio Canova’s “Dancer with Finger on Chin”.
