PARIS.- 'Sculpting Colour', presented at the same time and in the same space as the exhibition 'Zurbarán (1598–1664)', and with collaboratively designed scenography by Nathalie Crinière, invites visitors to take a close, comparative look at 17th-century Spanish sculpture, presented here for the first time in France. Through an exceptional, carefully chosen selection of 23 of the finest sculptures, all on loan thanks to an exclusive partnership with Spain's Museo Nacional de Escultura in Valladolid, visitors will discover the striking, singular art of Spanish sculpture in the 1600s. These religious sculptures of stunning naturalism in polychrome wood will allow visitors to better understand the visual, cultural and religious context in which the great Spanish painters of the same period (such as Zurbarán, Velázquez and Murillo) produced their works – a period in which painting and sculpture were closely linked. The works are representative of the major centres of artistic production i ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Christie's announced Heroes and Lovers—a collection of nine ambitious masterpieces representing pinnacles of spirituality, sensuality and raw human emotion across 500 years of art history. The collection spans sublime Old Master paintings and sculpture through to icons of Modernism with works by Tilman Riemenschneider, Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem, François Le Moyne, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Édouard Manet, and four examples by Pablo Picasso. Collectively, these works create a visual map of extreme and intimate moments of the human experience—exploring notions of passion, morality, courage and connection, as captured by six of the most influential artists dating from the fifteenth through the twentieth centuries. Together, the collection is estimated in the region of $100 million. Seven of the works will be headlining November's 20th Century Evening Sale. The final two Old Master works will be showcased as highlights of Classic Week in 2027. As a whole, this collection is a t ... More

VIENNA.- Starting on 7 October, the MAK will present the major interactive exhibition ARCHITECTURAL CONSTRUCTION KITS 1890–1990, transforming several of the museum’s rooms into an interactive play area for children aged four and up, as well as adults. Around 70 architectural construction kits from the years 1890 to 1990, many presented in the form of fully assembled models, showcase the vast diversity of historical toys. The basis for the exhibition is the private collection of graphic designer Claus Krieger, comprising around 150 items. Of the once countless toy construction kits—between 1880 and 1960, some 900 companies produced them in the German-speaking world alone—only a few are still manufactured today. While most children today grow up with Lego, there was once a wealth of materials: artificial brick, wood, and metal were used, alongside long-forgotten materials like Galalith and even rubber. Many of these materials can be tried out at eight play stations at the MAK. ... More
LONDON.- Over more than four decades, Denzil Forrester (b. 1956) has developed a painting practice rooted in the vital sounds and energy of London’s dub and reggae scene in the early 1980s, giving form to rhythm, movement and emotion through line and colour. Translating music techniques of sampling, mixing and looping into visual terms, he creates bold, dynamic compositions that are rooted in tradition while remaining distinctly his own. I have long admired Denzil’s work. Just as his artistic forebears drew from the scenes of music and nightlife, he too has an outstanding ability to distil atmospheric energy, movement, together with communal emotions of joy, longing or fear. His paintings are among the most enthralling and distinctive of his generation, and having shown Denzil’s work in our group exhibition Artists I Steal From, curated by Alvaro Barrington in 2019, we are excited to now represent him. — Thaddaeus Ropac The gallery announced that the first solo exhibition ...

The gift of twenty-nine of the Pearlman artworks to ... More

PARIS.- The enduring relevance of Morandi’s work, as articulated in the opening text of the 1987 exhibition at the Hôtel de Ville de Paris, provides the starting point for this exhibition. Although forty years have passed since that landmark exhibition, realized in collaboration with the City of Bologna, the text written by Franco Solmi brings us back to a querelle that remains open: the search for the secret of an art that has traversed — and continues to traverse — the great transformations of yesterday and today without being diminished by them. In keeping with the spirit of one of the thinkers Morandi most deeply admired, Pascal, who wrote: «We never keep ourself in the present; we anticipate the future as too slow in coming, as if to hasten its course; or we recall the past to stop it, as being too swift» the Galleria d'Arte Maggiore g.a.m. sets itself the ambitious goal of investigating the secret of Morandi's enduring relevance by revisiting, in this Paris exhibition, sev ...

LONDON.- Ben Uri announced the exhibition, The Abbey Art Centre as Postwar Refuge, 1946–56, marking the simultaneous publication of The Abbey Art Centre in postwar London 1946–1956, eds., Jane Eckett, Ian McLean and Sheridan Palmer (Routledge), this autumn. The exhibition unfolds the remarkable story of the Abbey Art Centre, a cosmopolitan art colony established at New Barnet in 1946 by charismatic artist, gallerist and world art collector, William Ohly (1883–1955). A crucible of creativity on London’s northern edge, the Abbey was a postwar haven for stateless Jewish refugees, as well as artists from Australia, Britain and continental Europe. Ohly’s openness to outsiders extended to his dealings at the Berkeley Galleries in Mayfair, which opened in late 1941 during the Blitz and where Abbey artists occasionally exhibited, as well as Commonwealth artists and artists from Ohly’s own world art collection. The Abbey was an important seeding bed for cross-cultural and t ... More

SINGAPORE.- Singapore Art Museum presents SAMCollection: The Present is Unstable, approaching collection display through a dynamic format that considers how works in the museum’s collection reflect the changing conditions of our world today.

As works are replaced and reconfigured, shifting relationships within and between them emerge, creating a dynamic space where new readings and conversations surface over time.

Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles presents Jack Whitten's 1980s works in 'The Numinous' LOS ANGELES, CA.- Following the late artist’s critically acclaimed 2025 retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Hauser & Wirth presents ‘The Numinous,’ an exhibition of Jack Whitten’s paintings and works on paper from the 1980s, at its Downtown Los Angeles gallery. The exhibition focuses on a pivotal and still underexamined period in Whitten’s six-decade career, where technical innovation and spiritual inquiry came together with new force. After a 1980 house fire forced an extended pause in his practice, Whitten returned with renewed urgency. Testing and pushing acrylic paint to new effects, he began to treat the medium as a dense, malleable material—something that could be cut, layered and collaged like ‘a skin.’ Another turning point came in 1983, when The Studio Museum in Harlem presented a survey of Whitten’s work from 1970–1980, organized by longtime supporter Henry Geldzahler. By then, the question for the artist was no longer how to b ... More

The exhibition opens by exploring their taste for imperfection and realness ... More
Tomma Abts expands into site-specific architecture with major Rotunda commission at Fridericianum KASSEL.- Tomma Abts’s paintings and drawings reflect an ongoing investigation of form, color, and pictorial space. Working primarily in acrylic and oil, she develops her paintings in a slow, step-by-step process in which diverse forms and nuanced color palettes coalesce into dynamic pictorial compositions. At the invitation of the Fridericianum, Tomma Abts is broadening her artistic practice for the first time to create a site-specific interior wall painting that responds to the distinctive architecture of the Rotunda on the second floor. Beneath a fan-shaped glass roof, a spacious atrium is enclosed by a gallery that curves along one side. Drawing on the space’s distinctive architectural features and light conditions, the artist develops a composition of four geometric forms: a circle, a square, an ellipse, and a rhombus. The circle and square are positioned directly beneath the glass roof on the walls of the atrium, where they are illuminated by natural daylight. The ellipse and rho ... More
