Framing Nature is co-curated by Elizabeth Dospěl Williams, Penny Vinik Chair of Fashion, Textiles and Jewelry; ... More

MADRID.- Visitors to the Museo del Prado will find a familiar space transformed. One of the museum’s most iconic areas, the historic Cloister of the Jerónimos, has been quietly reinstalled and reopened with a renewed focus: the evolution of 19th-century sculpture and, at its center, the human figure. Rather than simply rearranging objects, the museum has reshaped how the story of sculpture is told. The new display brings together a carefully selected group of works that trace the shifting ideals of the nude across the century—moving from strict neoclassical harmony to more expressive, and at times exoticized, interpretations of the body. At first glance, the changes may feel subtle. But as visitors walk through the cloister—now more open, more legible, and more attuned to the play of natural light—it becomes clear that this is a thoughtful rethinking of both space and narrative. The reinstallation leans into the unique character of the cloister itself. With its historic arch ... More
LONDON.- The National Gallery today announced the second painting which will be the focus of the National Gallery Masterpiece Tour 2025-27. The Marquise de Seignelay (1691) by Pierre Mignard will travel to our four partners between 2026 and 2027: South Shields Museum and Art Gallery (29 August 2026 – 8 November 2026); The Cooper Gallery, Barnsley (13 November 2026 – 20 February 2027); Grundy Art Gallery, Blackpool (27 February 2027 – 5 June 2027), and Ferens Art Gallery, Hull (11 June 2027 – 5 September 2027). In this striking portrait, Mignard depicts the recently widowed Catherine-Thérèse de Goyon de Matignon-Thorigny, Marquise de Seignelay (1662–99), as a woman of cultural and international importance. She is portrayed as the sea-goddess Thetis, while her eldest son Marie-Jean Baptiste (1683–1712) is dressed as the Greek hero Achilles – Thetis’ son by the mortal Peleus. Her sumptuous robe is painted using ultramarine, a highly ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- In 1993, Sam Gilliam was accepted as the artist in residence at Ballinglen Arts Foundation in the rural north of Ireland and went to ship his usual paints to the residency. When the paints were barred from shipment because they contained highly flammable petroleum, Gilliam found himself in a dire circumstance that called for innovation. At his studio in Washington D.C., Gilliam painted and stained a large group of monumental loose canvases, folded them up, and shipped them to Ballinglen. These canvases became the source material for a new body of work he would produce in Ireland—for a painting residency during which he did no actual painting. Once on site, Gilliam hired a local seamstress and worked alongside her every day, cutting and stitching the pre-painted canvases to construct brand new paintings from the found material of his own creation. The results were dynamic three-dimensional wall works and hanging sculptures, vibrant compositions of colliding and coalescing geometrie ... More
Henri Matisse. Poésies Antillaises. 1954, published 1972. Baltimore Museum of Art, Purchase with exchange funds from Garrett Collection, BMA 1987.11
BALTIMORE, MD.- On March 18, the Baltimore Museum of Art will present a selection of lithographic portraits from the book Poésies Antillaises (Antilles Poetry), a little‑known illustrated book and associated works on paper by Henri Matisse that were in part inspired by the artist’s brief 1930 visit to the Caribbean island of Martinique. On view through October 25, 2026, Matisse and Martinique: Portraits and Poetry, spotlights Matisse’s illustrations and places them in dialogue with works by Serge Hélénon and Germaine Casse, two of the period’s leading artists from Martinique and Guadeloupe who challenged colonial-era representations of the region. The focus exhibition, which features approximately 20 works, illuminates Matisse’s extensive working relationships with several notable Caribbean and international models and considers the significance of transatlantic exchange to the development of modern art. The exhibition is the result of research conducted ... More
HONG KONG.- Para Site announced James Taylor-Foster as its next Executive Director. The appointment coincides with Para Site’s 30th anniversary, signalling a new phase in the organisation’s evolution as a platform for independent expression and artistic experimentation in Hong Kong, across the region, and internationally. "Para Site is one of a kind. Its roots as an artist-founded cultural space, born from a unique condition with local and regional creative scenes as its engine, remains its soul," says James Taylor-Foster. "Today, as then, contemporary art is our present interrogating itself. At its most powerful, it makes room for thinking in public and radiates outward into culture at large." James's practice bridges contemporary art, design, architecture, and digital culture. As a convenor and curator he blurs disciplinary boundaries, exploring unconventional ways of nurturing ... More
The cover lot of this standalone sale is a rare and important huanghuali horseshoe-back 'grand master' chair and footstool.
HONG KONG.- This spring, Christie's presents 'Chinese Classical Furniture from the Shitou Shuwu Collection', a dedicated sale to be held on 30 April during Hong Kong Asian Art Week, showcasing 25 lots from one of the most refined and scholarly assemblages of Ming and early Qing‑dynasty furniture to appear on the market in recent decades. Formed over more than three decades by the discreet and deeply learned collector known as the Master of Shitou Shuwu, the collection represents a living legacy of cultural stewardship rooted in 17th‑century literati ideals. The Master of Shitou Shuwu first developed an interest in classical Chinese art following the landmark 1996 Christie's New York sale of the California-based Museum of Classical Chinese Furniture Collection. His studies and friendship with leading collectors, dealers, and scholars in Taipei ... More
Pablo Fierro’s path to sculpture began with architecture.
MEXICO CITY.- In contemporary sculpture, material often dominates the conversation. Steel, bronze, marble, and wood define the physical presence of a work of art. Yet Mexican artist Pablo Fierro has built a career exploring something far less tangible: the expressive power of emptiness. An architect by training and a sculptor by vocation, Fierro has developed a distinctive body of work that transforms industrial materials into poetic structures that challenge traditional notions of form. His sculptures, often constructed through precise geometric frameworks, invite viewers to reconsider the role of space itself—what is present, what is absent, and how perception shapes meaning. Through exhibitions, public commissions, and collaborations with international brands, Fierro has emerged as one of the most intriguing voices among a new generation of Mexican sculptors working at the intersection of architecture, ...

The Rites of When (video still), Angelica Mesiti, 2024.
BASEL.- In an era shaped by digital media, Reverb draws attention to alternative forms of human communication. The exhibition brings together five video works by the Australian, Paris based artist Angelica Mesiti who combines different disciplines in poetic ways. The works illustrate the enchantment of the everyday and show how cultural traditions, rituals, music and sounds shape identity and foster community. Angelica Mesiti (born 1976) works at the interface of performance, sound and video. Her film works and spatial installations offer an experience of performative practices: sound, movement and gesture serve as forms of nonverbal communication and generate resonances between people, places and cultural practices. In this way, the exhibition title refers to reverberation not only as an acoustic phenomenon—in the same way as sound travels and echoes, ideas and information, too, are carried across space and time, continuing to make an impact. In her most recent work, the seven-channel vi ... More

SHEHONG.- Designed by OPEN Architecture, Shede Culture Museum is located in the East Garden of Shede distillery in Shehong, Sichuan, and was topped out in January 2026. On the misty shore of River Fu, where mountains meander, three island-like architectural volumes emerge from a vast circular pond, manifesting the tectonics of the “One Pond, Three Mountains” Chinese landscaping ideal that traverses tradition and future. Shehong lies at the base of the Sichuan Basin, a lowland in southwestern China with a perennially temperate, humid climate that produces a lush environment. The distillery, distant from urban areas, is embraced by this natural landscape with exceptional ecological conditions. Non-human actors—air, water, soil, flora, and microbes—combine with enduring local techniques and craftsmanship to produce the distinctive Shede spirits. These interdependent agencies and the resulting responsive processes profoundly inspired the architectural design. OPEN’s design b ... More

Mathieu Bernard-Reymond debuts the AI camera that listens to the photographer VEVEY.- Are artificial intelligence and photography complementary fields of artistic creation, or anything but? This exhibition offers a rare peek behind the scenes at artistic and technological experimentation, inviting visitors to consider or rethink the role of art amid contemporary changes in images and the way we see them. The Swiss Camera Museum in Vevey asked French-Swiss photographer and artist Mathieu Bernard- Reymond to investigate potential interactions between the traditional techniques involved in taking a photograph (aiming, framing and recording) and the possibilities opened up by AI for enriching rather than eliminating them. The emergence of systems capable of generating images from nothing more than text-based descriptions raises multiple questions – and concerns – about the impact of generative AI on the practice of photography. By placing ... More
The Mucem explores four millennia of motherhood through art and rite MARSEILLE.- For over four thousand years, motherhood has been central to tales, rites and images that shape the course of societies. Drawing from Mediterranean cultural sources, the exhibition Bonnes Mères explores motherhood as an intimate experience, social construct, political matter and artistic theme. From the ancient mother goddess to Marseille’s “Good Mother”, from patriotic heroines to contemporary artists, it reflects on the many ways motherhood is represented, often laden with expectations, and reveals the richness and variety of maternal experience. In three thematic movements, the exhibition first unfolds the imaginary realm of traditional maternal figures, then brings to light the multiple and sometimes invisible realities of motherhood, before evoking the bonds and transmissions that shape the mother-child relationship. Bathed in light and immersive ... More
Exhibition transforms Haus for Media Art into a single vibrating body OLDENBURG.- Antiphon (2026) is a five-part sound installation that transforms the Haus for Media Art Oldenburg into a single vibrating body. The work of US-American artist Noah Berrie explores sound as inherently relational and material: co-produced between vibrating objects, architectural space, and the listener, and drawing on feedback, transduction, and tuning as compositional methods that let systems and environments speak on their own terms. In the main hall, nine piano wires hang from the ceiling, held taut by lead weights and sustained through electromagnetic feedback, sifting through harmonics or falling silent according to the conditions of the room. One weight corresponds to the mass of the artist’s body; the others are tuned around it. Downstairs, more than five hundred steel strings are plucked by motors transposing a gyroscopic recording of the North ... More
Leighton House unveils new programme re-examining its iconic Arab Hall LONDON.- From Spring 2026, Leighton House will present the first major exploration of its 19th century Arab Hall, one of Londonʼs most iconic interiors, through three site-specific art installations, a specially commissioned short film, and an exhibition and new publication containing extensive new research. As a central part of Leighton Houseʼs 100-year anniversary programme, this collaborative and interdisciplinary project examines the spaceʼs remarkable history and its continued relevance today. Created by Victorian artist Frederic Leighton (1830-1896) following extensive travels across North Africa and the Middle East, the Arab Hall was conceived as a spectacular extension to his Kensington studio-house – a blend of Islamic, Mediterranean and Victorian craft traditions, the centre piece of which is the collection of antique tiles from Damascus, Turkey and Iran ...

Marthe Armitage: Pattern Maker will feature more than 40 prints, objects and archive materials from the lifelong career of Marthe Armitage, who at 95 years old spent decades dedicated to the art of hand-drawn and hand-cut designs for wallpaper, curtains and more.
