CHICAGO, IL.- James Rondeau, President and Eloise W. Martin Director of the Art Institute of Chicago, announced today that the museum is returning Jean Metzinger’s Woman with a Fan to the family of Jewish art collector Emanuel Lewenstein (1870–1930). Since acquiring the work in 1959, the museum has consistently conducted research into the painting's provenance, including its location before and during World War II. However, gaps remained in the historical record. Through a collaborative research exchange between the museum and Mondex Corporation, new information revealed that Woman with a Fan was part of the Lewenstein Collection, which was part of a forced sale in Amsterdam after the German invasion of the Netherlands. Based on this new understanding of the painting's history, the Art Institute concluded that it should be returned to the Lewenstein heirs. “This return reflects our commitment to take decisive ...

Edgar Degas, Trois danseuses (Jupes jaunes), Circa 1899. Estimate: $10 – 15 million. Courtesy Sotheby's.
NEW YORK, NY.- Sotheby's will present a selection of works from Armand Hammer’s storied private collection, with proceeds to benefit the Armand Hammer Foundation. The series of sales, beginning with the Modern Evening Auction in New York this November, offers collectors and institutions a rare opportunity to acquire paintings that once formed part of one of the twentieth century's most celebrated private collections. The selection of 12 works is estimated in the region of $25–37 million. Proceeds from the sales will benefit the Foundation's mission, building upon the tradition of public good that Dr. Armand Hammer established during his lifetime. “Armand Hammer's imprint on Los Angeles is difficult to overstate. He believed that collecting art came with an obligation to share it, a conviction that shaped not only his own museum but decades of gifts to institutions across this city and beyond. Long before Los Angeles was recognized as ... More
PUEBLA, MEXICO.- Museo Amparo presents A Home to Inhabit: Works from the FEMSA Collection. The FEMSA Collection brings together a wide selection of modern and contemporary art from Mexico and Latin America. Through these works, it explores different eras, languages, and perspectives from the region. The collection aims to bring Latin American art to diverse audiences through exhibitions and cultural programs. Eugenia Braniff, curator and advisor to Colección FEMSA, said, “For 50 years, we have been building not only a renowned collection, but also a living history of Latin American art, one grounded in our support of artists and our commitment to documenting how the region’s art has evolved and adapted over time. This history was always meant to be shared with the public, across different contexts and settings. The opportunity to bring a substantial selection from the FEMSA Collection to Museo Amparo allows us to further that mission, creating new points of access and pathways ... More
LOS ANGELES, CA.- The Los Angeles County Museum of Art presents two exhibitions exploring design as an agent of social, political, and economic transformation in modern domestic life: Home of the Future, 1925–1985: Designing Domestic Utopias and The Kitchen and Its Discontents. Over the course of the 20th century, Americans were offered an astonishing array of domestic tomorrows: self-cleaning kitchens, plastic houses assembled in a day, push-button appliances, and desktop computers all shaping aspirations about how to live. With more than 260 architectural models, drawings, photographs, films, paintings, furniture, and objects ranging from sinks to televisions, Home of the Future explores the American home of tomorrow. The exhibition asks not only what futures were imagined, but also who imagined them, how they circulated, and for whom they were intended. The Kitchen and Its Discontents is a standalone exhibition embedded within Home of the Future. This presentation puts Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky ... More
Jean-Michel Cels, Cloud Study in the Late Afternoon (detail), 1840. Oil on paper. Thaw Collection, Jointly Owned by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Morgan Library & Museum, Gift of Eugene V. Thaw, 2016.
NEW YORK, NY.- Through February 28, 2027, The Metropolitan Museum of Art will present Chasing Clouds, an exhibition that explores the enduring human impulse to represent one of nature’s most ephemeral subjects: clouds. Spanning the early 19th to the early 20th century, the exhibition will trace artists’ efforts to observe and depict the ever-changing sky and considers how the advent of photography introduced new possibilities for capturing this elusive subject. Bringing together works by John Constable, Eugène Delacroix, Gustave Le Gray, John Singer Sargent, Alfred Stieglitz, and others from The Met’s collection, the exhibition spans plein air paintings and drawings—created outdoors in direct observation of nature—as well as photographs, all examining how artists across mediums developed inventive approaches to capturing the natural world at a time when ...

WINTER PARK, FL.- The Rollins Museum of Art opened the Visions of the City exhibition. Drawn entirely from the museum’s world-class collection of contemporary and historic art, this exhibition explores representations of urban life across time, place, and medium. Through painting, photographs, prints, and video art, artists explore how social, cultural, and political forces shape the environments we inhabit, often filtered through the lens of personal experience. Featuring scenes from the United States and around the globe, Visions of the City highlights visual markers of urban transformation, including skyscrapers, bridges, bustling streets, or expanding infrastructure. Together, these works document and interrogate the promises and consequences of progress, technological innovation and growth, revealing the city as both a physical landscape and a reflection of human aspirations. Spanning the 19th through ... More

The thematic ... More
ZURICH.- For more than four decades, Catherine Goodman CBE has developed a unique visual language that communicates a powerful visionary response to her lived experience and memory. In an exhibition of new paintings at Hauser & Wirth Zurich, Limmatstrasse, Goodman’s intensely expressive process uses strongly pigmented oil paint, brushwork, oil sticks, drips and washes to create immersive abstract works. At the heart of this new body of work lies an exploration of a paradox: how painting can hold both quietness and turbulence. Created during a period marked by profound personal loss and illness, as well as a wider backdrop of war and political instability, the paintings reflect Goodman’s search for enduring, memorable images that acknowledge the fragility of the world while remaining open to joy, kindness and renewal. Long associated with figurative ... More
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Long considered the sculptor most closely associated with abstract expressionism, David Smith (1906 – 1965) was in fact a restless polymath for whom sculpture, drawing and painting formed a single creative current—sculpting by day and working on canvas and paper by night. This fall, Hauser & Wirth present ‘Night Window. David Smith Spray Paintings, 1958 – 1964,’ an exhibition devoted to his pioneering Sprays, seldom-seen two-dimensional works that embody the artist’s gift for daring, even startling innovations of form and color, space and time, in every medium he chose. Though he initially trained as a painter at the Art Students League in New York, much of Smith’s education took place on the factory floors of automobile and locomotive plants, where he acquired a hands-on mastery of metal that would make him the first known American artist to weld steel into sculpture. Through those experiences he came to view fabricated metal parts as inherently abst ... More
MANTUA.- Nature appears by turns fertile, violent, mysterious, collectible and even mechanical in a new exhibition that opened this weekend at Palazzo Te, bringing together works by Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio, Giuseppe Arcimboldo and other leading figures of Renaissance art. Inventing Nature. Leonardo, Arcimboldo, Caravaggio, which opened September 26 and runs through January 10, 2027, takes over the monumental rooms of Giulio Romano’s celebrated Mantuan palace as the culminating exhibition of its 500th-anniversary year. Curated by Barbara Furlotti and Guido Rebecchini, the exhibition looks at how people in the 16th century tried to understand the natural world at a moment when art, science, collecting and technology were becoming increasingly intertwined. Rather than treating nature simply as landscape or decoration, the show presents it as something Renaissance artists and thinkers sought to study, imitate, classify, control—and sometimes fear. That idea acquires particular force ... More
Grande Galerie carpet with landscapes (detail), Savonnerie Manufactory, after designs by Charles Le Brun, 1680. Knotted and cut wool pile (symmetrical knot), overall (confirmed): H. 353 x W. 128 in. (896.6 x 325.1 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wrightsman, 1976 (1976.155.114)
NEW YORK, NY.- An exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art explores the remarkable story of the 20-year production of the finest carpets ever made in Europe. A King’s Carpet: Louis XIV and the Savonnerie will present elements of the tapis du roi, an enormous carpet composed of 92 individual pieces that were intended to cover the complete span of the Grande Galerie of the Louvre in Paris, six times the length of the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. The 92 carpets were commissioned by King Louis XIV and his all-powerful minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert with the intended purpose of welcoming the highest dignitaries to the Sun King’s glittering court with an impressive display of luxury and splendor, though this vision was never fully realized. Shedding new light on three significant Savonnerie carpets in The Met’s collection that were made as part of Louis XIV’s ambitious Grande Galerie project, A King’s Carpet will also bring a small but important group of loans into the Wright ...

LONG ISLAND CITY, NY.- This fall, MoMA PS1 presents the first US large-scale museum exhibition of artist Teresa Margolles (Mexican, b. 1963), featuring several room-sized installations and a new commission. On view from September 24, 2026, through February 2027, Teresa Margolles: En el lugar de los hechos (At the Scene) presents sculptures, photographs, and video made over the past three decades throughout the Museum’s expansive third-floor galleries. Trained as a forensic pathologist and a photographer, Margolles has created work that examines the implications of transnational violence, with particular attention to the US-Mexico border. Across mediums, her works trace disappearances, murders, political displacements, and societal neglect through methodical research, site-responsive interventions, and a radical rethinking of the memorial. In conjunction with the exhibition at MoMA PS1, a major installation by Teresa Margolles is being presented in a focused collection gallery at The Museum of Modern Art ... More

Andy Denzler reimagines Titian and Tintoretto through expressive 'Spectral Paintings' ZURICH.- Galerie Peter Kilchmann is presenting Renaissance Paintings Reloaded, the second solo exhibition by Swiss artist Andy Denzler (*1965, lives and works in Zurich) in the gallery. Denzler's practice draws inspiration from the history of painting, film, photography, fashion, and design, with the human figure remaining at the core of his artistic inquiry. Another central aspect of his work is the exploration of how images are transformed through perception, memory, and the passage of time. In this exhibition, the artist focuses specifically on states of human emotion, the collective memory of image, and the relationship between historical painting and contemporary art. The solo presentation features new large- and medium-format paintings alongside a selection of works on paper. Renaissance Paintings Reloaded builds upon the artist's first solo exhibition ... More
Taipei Fine Arts Museum presents Wang Yahui: Voyager TAIPEI.- On September 12, the exhibition Wang Yahui: Voyager was unveiled on the second floor of Taipei Fine Arts Museum (TFAM). Co-curated by TFAM curators Lei Yi-ting and Hsuan-chun Lin, this retrospective exhibition looks back on Wang Yahui’s 20-year artistic career (2002 to 2022). Through 25 works and work series from different periods, it presents her passage of creativity through video, kinetic installation and photography, set alongside early works, video documentation, sketches, drafts, and written notes. Grounded in living spaces and everyday experiences, over many years Wang contemplated the dialogue between emptiness and solidity, by transforming subtle observations into poetic images. Her abstract, constantly moving approach expanded how viewers sensed and imagined everything from a tiny speck of dust to the whole universe. ... More

David Zwirner presents California debut of Brazilian modernist Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato LOS ANGELES, CA.- David Zwirner is presenting paintings by Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato (1900–1995), on view at the gallery’s 606 N Western Avenue location in Los Angeles. Marking Lorenzato’s fourth solo show with the gallery and the first exhibition of his work in California, this presentation anticipates a major solo exhibition—the largest and most significant survey of the artist’s work to date—opening at the Pinacoteca de São Paulo in 2027. Among the foremost Brazilian artists of his generation, Lorenzato developed a singular body of paintings centered on his fastidious observations of everyday subjects and scenes in his hometown of Belo Horizonte. His distinctive compositions, characterized by reduced geometric forms and densely textured surfaces, distill the vitality and natural beauty of his surroundings into deceptively simple images that are imbued ...

Emma McIntyre brings alchemical abstractions and oxidized pigments to David Zwirner Tribeca NEW YORK, NY.- David Zwirner opened an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by New Zealand–born and Los Angeles–based artist Emma McIntyre at the gallery’s Tribeca location in New York. Titled after a line from a poem by Diane di Prima, This body holds / swamp stuff is McIntyre’s third solo show with the gallery. Thrumming with gestural and somatic energy, McIntyre’s abstractions probe the alchemical possibilities of the painted medium. The artist initiates a call and response between her hand and her materials, which include oils as well as unconventional substances such as oxidized iron and copper. McIntyre pours, impresses, and combines these pigments across the canvas, creating atmospheric and multilayered paintings that revel in a state of flux; slipping between order and chaos, spontaneity and deliberation, their surfaces shift constantly ...

Autumn Wallace reimagines grief and inherited loss in second solo exhibition at Josh Lilley LONDON.- Josh Lilley is presenting something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, the second solo exhibition by Autumn Wallace (b. 1996, Philadelphia, PA, USA) with the gallery. Wallace presents a new body of sculpture and painting that reimagines grief through the language of love, ritual, and performance. Taking its title from the familiar wedding rhyme ingrained in superstition and stemming from Victorian folklore, the exhibition fissures the promise of the rhyme inside out. Traditionally a talisman for good fortune, continuity, and hopeful naivety, its sequence of borrowed objects becomes a way of tracing what else we carry forward: inherited loss, remembered gestures, private rituals, and the residues that filtrate us. Wallace inverts the rhyme’s optimism, transforming it into a meditation on the ways grief is inherited, endured, and continually reconstructed. A text below by the poet Roya Marsh accompanies the exhibition. ... More
PEAC Museum presents first comprehensive solo exhibition of Polish artist Michał Budny BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG.- Michał Budny (born in Leszno, Poland, in 1976) gives fleeting moments a radical physical tangibility in his abstract, often large-scale objects. PEAC Museum is now presenting its first comprehensive solo exhibition of the artist’s work. The show brings together some 40 works from the past twenty years, including objects, large-scale sculptures, and site-specific installations. The exhibition represents a continuation of the museum’s program of contemporary art, which links present approaches with the Paul Ege Art Collection’s focus on Minimal Art, Radical Painting, and Conceptual Art since the 1970s. Budny works with a limited palette of colors and materials—black, white, and shades of gray, alongside metal, wood, textile, cardboard, and rubber. The strictly geometric, austere formal language of his works, with their absence of representational content, is reminiscent of Constructivism or Minimal Art. However, while the latter insists on an experience anchored ... More
Ella Kraimer explores persona, thrift fashion, and identity in FotoFocus Biennial exhibition DAYTON, OH.- The Contemporary Dayton is presenting Ella Kraimer: Appearances, a world-premiere exhibition of large-scale photographs by Ohio-based artist Ella Kraimer. On view as part of the 2026 FotoFocus Biennial: The Long View, the exhibition explores the blurred boundaries between authenticity, performance, memory, invention, one’s self, and the images we construct for others. In Appearances, Kraimer transforms herself into a cast of fictional personas through a series of striking self-portraits. Using secondhand garments gathered from thrift stores across the country, she creates elaborate costumes and assemblages that become vehicles for inhabiting different identities. Layered with irony, humor, and cultural critique, the resulting photographs question how identity is shaped and reshaped, through clothing, image-making, cultural ... More
Angela Bulloch examines automation, rules, and control in new Zurich presentation VIENNA.- Galerie Eva Presenhuber is presenting Entropy, 2026, the gallery’s fifth solo exhibition with the Berlin-based British artist Angela Bulloch. From the early 1990s, Bulloch glimpsed the twenty-first century. The central subject of her work is the condition of the human being caught within an automated society—a theme considered irrelevant by her peers at the time. While her fellow YBAs (Young British Artists) were perpetuating issues related to consumer society, tinged with the “sensational,” Bulloch was addressing questions far from this mainstream: the notion of individual choice, the absurdity of a world dehumanized by robotics, and the dwindling nature of human freedom. In 1991, with King of Comedy, she was already using interactivity to confront the viewer with social determinism—a phenomenon that, over the past thirty years, has only grown ... More
Gagosian opens 'Groomed', Bea Scaccia's debut exhibition with the gallery NEW YORK, NY.- Gagosian is presenting Groomed, an exhibition of seven new paintings by Bea Scaccia that opened at the gallery’s Park & 75 location on September 22. The second in a series of solo presentations by different artists curated by Francesco Bonami, it is Scaccia’s debut exhibition with the gallery. The paintings in Groomed depict elaborate, sumptuous scenes filled with accumulations of fabric and various accoutrements of feminine style including wigs, costume jewelry, shoes, belts, zippers, plastic chains, hair clips, bows, tassels, and faux fur. Backed by colorful curtains and patterned wallpaper, and occupied by chairs, beds, and ladders, these nighttime scenarios are illuminated by representations of fringed lamps, clip-on book lights, and precariously placed lit candles. The nocturnal atmosphere is reinforced by the matte surfaces that Scaccia achieves by mixing gesso with acrylic to mute the colors, reworking them with airbrush, and applying oil paint to selected details. Inc ... More

On a day like today, French painter and sculptor Edgar Degas died
September 27, 1917. Edgar Degas (19 July 1834 - 27 September 1917) was a French Impressionist artist famous for his pastel drawings and oil paintings. Degas also produced wax sculptures, prints, and drawings. Degas is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers. Although Degas is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, he rejected the term, preferring to be called a realist, and did not paint outdoors as many Impressionists did. In this image: Dancers Practising in the Foyer by Edgar Degas (1834-1917). Oil on canvas. 73.8 x 92.5 cm. Acquired by the New Carlsberg Foundation in 1923. Donated to the Glyptotek in 1932.
