Silver Falls Flag will be on display May 16 — August 23 at the Brick Store Museum.
KENNEBUNK, MAINE.- As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, world-renowned artist Mateo Blanco presents Silver Falls Flag (2026), a textile work that offers a quietly powerful meditation on one of the nation’s most enduring symbols. Unveiled at a moment of reflection, the work departs from the fixed geometry of the American flag and instead imagines it in motion—its stars no longer suspended in stillness, but descending, dissolving, and flowing as if carried by water. In Blanco’s hands, the flag becomes a cascade of silver threads, evoking waterfalls and the continuous rhythms of the natural world. The effect is both visual and atmospheric. The threads shimmer and shift with light, creating a surface that feels at once ephemeral and grounded. Each filament suggests a point of connection—between histories, between people, between states—while ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- When Flemish engraver and publisher Theodore de Bry issued the first volume of his America series in 1590, the New World was truly novel for most Europeans. Gleaned from the travel accounts of adventurers like Thomas Harriot, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir Walter Raleigh, De Bry’s magnificent engravings brought the new continent and its inhabitants to an enraptured audience across the Atlantic. From “Virginia” (today’s North Carolina) and Florida to Central America and down into Patagonia, the first nine volumes of America depict scenery and encounters between Native Americans and Europeans, revealing the latter’s perceptions of the former. Portrayals of European discovery and Native American customs were based on the explorers’ reports as well as De Bry’s own imagination – he himself never traveled to the New World. Although based in Frankfurt, De Bry laid the foundations of the series while in London, collaborating with artists John ... More
Peter Alexander, Cold Hands Warm Heart, 2020. Urethane, 77" × 47-1/2" × 1-1/2" (195.6 cm × 120.7 cm × 3.8 cm).
SEOUL.- Pace is presenting an exhibition of sculptures—many of them never-before-seen—by renowned Light and Space artist Peter Alexander at its Seoul gallery through June 5. Marking his first solo show in Korea, the presentation spotlights a selection of works created by the artist in 2020, just before his passing. Known for his translucent, meditative sculptures that appear to emulate light from within, Alexander spent his decades-long career exploring the perceptual relationships between light and color. A key figure in the Los Angeles art scene in the 1960s—when he developed his iconic polyester resin sculptures—he was a vanguard of the California Light and Space movement alongside James Turrell, Robert Irwin, and others. Evoking the unique atmosphere and natural landscape of his native Southern California, as well as art historical references to Mark Rothko’s ... More

Jitish Kallat, Hexalemma (Earthling Chant), 2024-2025. Graphite, charcoal, arquarelle, gesso, organic gum on Arches paper, 158 × 127,5 cm — 62 × 50 in.
PARIS.- Jitish Kallat returns to Paris with Point of Incidence, a new body of works exploring our relationship to the universe and the ways humankind has sought to inhabit and shape it. Point of Incidence is structured around an Earth–Moon axis, bringing into dialogue two central works, Albedo (Point of Incidence) and Lunar Redux, alongside a constellation of related pieces. While neither Earth nor Moon are directly depicted, the exhibition traces a passage from planetary materiality to celestial speculation, where human thought, law, and imagination intersect. The journey begins with Moon Treaty, a sculptural work derived from the unratified United Nations Moon Treaty (1979), introducing questions of shared planetary responsibility and extraterrestrial law. Declaring the Moon the “common heritage of mankind,” the treaty articulated a vision of shared stewardship. Its limited adoption revealed the widening gap between international principle and geopolitical reality at the thres ... More
United States. In Congress, July 4, 1776. A declaration by the representatives of the United States of America: in general Congress assembled. Philadelphia: Printed by John Dunlap, 1776. Purchase: The Robert Wood Johnson Jr. Charitable Trust, 1982. The Morgan Library & Museum, New York. PML 77518
NEW YORK, NY.- In honor of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the Morgan Library & Museum presents a select group of important materials relating to the history of the founding of the nation in the rotunda of the historic library from May 5 through September 13, 2026. Placed in conversation with each other, this installation of six works provides a snapshot of an incredibly robust area of the Morgan’s collection that speaks to the vitality of the country in its nascence. The centerpiece of the installation is a rare copy of the Declaration of Independence. Known as the “Dunlap broadside,” this artifact of the nation’s founding was typeset by John Dunlap on the night of July 4, 1776 for distribution to “the several Assemblies, Conventions & Committees or Councils of Safety and to the several Commanding Officers of the Continental troops.” Among ...

BALTIMORE, MD.- The Baltimore Museum of Art presents Seeing the Essential: The Sigmund M. and Mary B. Hyman Collection of American Art, an expansive exhibition showcasing more than 100 works from the collection of Baltimore philanthropists Sigmund M. Hyman (1921–2002) and Mary B. Hyman (1927–2024). Over more than 60 years, they built an art collection guided by an interest in modern American culture and history, visual beauty, their own personal tastes, and an appreciation for artists who depicted everyday life with honesty and imagination. On view from May 10 through September 13, 2026, the exhibition celebrates the Hymans’ gift to the BMA as well as their six‑decade commitment to American art, civic engagement, and public access to culture. The title Seeing the Essential draws inspiration from Ashcan artist and educator Robert Henri, who wrote in 1923 that the ability “to see and to remember the essential” was fundamental to artistic purpose. Living with ... More
VENICE.- SMAC Venice is presenting Alighiero Boetti, a major exhibition dedicated to Italian post-war master Alighiero Boetti (Turin, 1940 – Rome, 1994). Curated by Elena Geuna and supported by Ben Brown Fine Arts, the exhibition will be on view from 7 May to 22 November 2026, coinciding with the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. Bringing together approximately eighty works across eight galleries, the exhibition offers an expansive survey of one of the most influential artists of the post-war period. Spanning more than twenty-five years, from the late 1960s to the early 1990s, it traces the full arc of Boetti’s artistic trajectory and highlights the breadth and complexity of his practice. Conceived as a constellation that invites viewers to inhabit the space between idea and form, order and disorder, Alighiero Boetti reflects the artist’s enduring interest in duality, systems and process. From his early works rooted in simple materials ... More
SAN MARINO, CA.- Robert Indiana’s LOVE—one of the most iconic images of postwar American art—will join The Huntington’s permanent collection later this year.

Gonzalo Fuenmayor, Tropical Martyr, 2026. Charcoal on paper, 72 x 52 in.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Dolby Chadwick Gallery is presenting A Certain Slant of Light, an exhibition of new work by Gonzalo Fuenmayor. For over two decades, the Colombian-born, Miami-based artist has refined a distinct visual vocabulary that probes, unsettles, and complicates questions of cultural identity. The resulting maximalist compositions trace the contours of domination and desire, examining the mechanisms by which cultures are framed, consumed, and recast through the lingering optics of colonial imagination. A refusal of the exotic unfolds alongside its amplification. Decadent interiors buckle under the slow insistence of tropical encroachment; neatly cultivated spaces retreat as leaves, birds, and ornamental excess press inward. Each gesture shadows the other, entwined in a visual language at once seductive and disquieting. Amid heaps of bananas, fractured chandeliers, and resilient wildlife, nature reasserts itself quietly, insistently against ... More
Stephen Skidmore, Afternoon Paintings. Installation view. Galerie Hubert Winter, Vienna 2026. Photo: Simon Veres.
VIENNA.- Galerie Hubert Winter is presenting the 4th solo exhibition of Stephen Skidmore (b. 1950 in Newcastle, lives and works in London) at the gallery. On view for the first time are the Afternoon Paintings, a series created between 1999 and 2004. In the opening minutes of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1951 film Strangers on a Train, the protagonists are shown as two separate pairs of legs, striding purposefully across streets and platforms. The story only really begins once they stop being strangers and collide, via an accidental bump of crossed feet. Picture, though, a deferral of that decisive moment – a suspension, that is, of the bodily touch that gets things going – and you’re close to the peculiarly charged atmosphere of Stephen Skidmore’s Afternoon Paintings. Even the origin of these paintings has something of the Hitchcockian thriller about it. One afternoon, about twenty-five years ago, Skidmore sat down on a bench on a busy platform in London’s ...

Erdal Duman, Raise The Mop, 2023, Pi Artworks Istanbul.
ISTANBUL.- Pi Artworks Istanbul presents Erdal Duman’s first solo exhibition with the gallery If You've Come, Throw a Stone at the Window, on view from 9 May to 20 June. Bringing together both new works and examples drawn from over a decade of the artist's practice, the exhibition transforms the viewer from observer into an active participant in its unfolding. The show greets visitors with a surprising encounter from the moment they arrive. At the centre of the space stands the barricade, a work that embodies a forgotten reflex of solidarity against the plunder of nature, injustice, and violence. Initially dispersed across the space as a sculptural group of eighteen independent components, the structure becomes a living organism through the viewer's touch. Visitors are encouraged to assemble the parts, completing the barricade — and from that moment onward, a text slowly emerges on the gallery walls over the course of the exhibition. To sustain this experience, the ... More

Darren Waterston's new works probe the tension between beauty and terror SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Berggruen Gallery is presenting an exhibition of recent paintings and works on paper by American artist Darren Waterston. This show marks Waterston's second solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition will be on view from May 7 through June 25, 2026. Building on his career-long exploration of the pastoral, Darren Waterston’s latest body of work explores psychological visions of nature, using music as a source of visual inspiration. By immersing himself in compositions by Benjamin Britten, John Tavener, Philip Glass, and Nico Muhly, among others, Waterston’s practice has become a deep study of the synthesis of time, rhythm, and movement, allowing his paintings to unfold in syncopation with the musical spaces of his chosen compositions. While Waterston has long probed the tensions between representational and abstract forms within the genre ... More
Fondation Hermès and MAMCS celebrate the art of the invisible SAINT-LOUIS-LÈS-BITCHE.- With the exhibition “Toute la beauté du monde” (All the Beauty of the World), the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès continues its mission of supporting contemporary creation. Léa Barbazanges, who lives and works in Strasbourg, presents about fifteen new works made from plant-, mineral- and animal-based materials and textures in the exhibition space of the Musée Saint-Louis. Conceived as both a visual and sensorial experience curated by Estelle Pietrzyk, curator and chief heritage curator at the Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain de Strasbourg (MAMCS), the exhibition appeals just as much to the eye as to the desire to touch. Polymorphic, it reads like a snapshot of Léa Barbazanges’s work, where the different realms of life intertwine. Playing with variations between empty and full, visible and imperceptible, the artist crafts ... More
Adriano Costa opens an exhibition at Ordet MILAN.- In Candomblé, an Afro-Brazilian religion of Yoruba origin, the creation myth has it that the god Olódùmarè brought the world into being out of a primordial chaos made of water alone. The task of shaping this undefined mass was entrusted to the deity Obatalá, who molded human beings out of clay; however, having become intoxicated during the process, he produced forms that were varied and imperfect. Olódùmarè then animated their bodies by infusing them with a vital breath, a divine energy found in every living thing. The choice of clay as a material is deeply meaningful: it is not yet form, but no longer chaos—it is potential, awaiting only a hand and an intention. In Obatalá’s shaping of it, an act of creation takes place, disorder becoming order through a never-ending process of transformation. A similar tension runs through the work of the Brazilian artist Adriano ... More
Gaypalani Waṉambi wins Wynne Prize 2026 SYDNEY.- Yolŋu artist Gaypalani Waṉambi has won the Wynne Prize 2026 and $50,000 for her etching on metal, The Waṉambi tree, depicting Wuyal, an important ancestor of the Marrakulu clan. Waṉambi’s work was selected from 773 entries for the Wynne Prize in 2026 and is one of 52 finalists on display at the Art Gallery. A first-time Wynne finalist, Gaypalani Waṉambi’s large-scale double-sided work details the artist’s songlines of the Marakulu clan and the ancestral honey hunter, Wuyal, with intricate markings of the life cycle of bees, honey and stringybark blossom found in her homeland in the Northern Territory. After receiving the news that she had won the Wynne Prize 2026, Waṉambi said: ‘My father was a great artist and I learnt by his side. He made bark paintings, video and metal.

Digital sentinels: Alexandre Estrela represents Portugal at Venice with a seismic ecosystem VENICE.- RedSkyFalls by Alexandre Estrela represents Portugal at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. Curated by Ana Baliza | Ricardo Nicolau, it will be held from May 9th to November 22nd, 2026. The artist presents a new installation that expands the logic of a homonymous 2019 work, now working as an operating system for new digital beings. The project was selected for the Biennale Arte 2026, structured “In Minor Keys,” as it resonates with the piece’s quieter registers. When the red sky falls, paradigms shift between divine providence, science as credo, data as oracle, and new obscurantist myths. Seismographs register these sideways movements, as humanity inscribes environmental and social fracture lines into the Earth’s crust. Tectonic manifestations open fissures, not only in the ground but also in thought. RedSkyFalls proposes ... More

Its interior unfolds as an immersive circular environment shaped by painting, light, ... More
400-year-old Pichwai tradition arrives in Venice VENICE.- Pooja Singhal, Founder of Pichvai Tradition & Beyond, presents From India to Venice, a satellite event coinciding with La Biennale di Venezia, opening Wednesday, 6th May at the Palazzo Barbaro. The exhibition brings the four-century-old Pichwai tradition of Nathdwara, Rajasthan into dialogue with the architectural and cultural landscape of Venice. Conceptualised and developed in collaboration with art historian and curator Elizabeth Royer, who lives between Paris and Venice, and Michele Codoni, the presentation positions a deeply devotional Indian art form within an international contemporary context. Traditionally created as hand-painted textiles hung behind the idol of Shrinathji, a cherubic incarnation of Lord Krishna, Pichwais depict temple rituals, seasonal cycles, and sacred geographies through detailed compositions. Over the past decade, ... More
Hisae Ikenaga brings her hybrid sculptures to Belgium for the first time GHENT.- Since the 2000s, Mexican-Japanese artist Hisae Ikenaga (born 1977 in Mexico City) has been developing a sculptural practice based on the collection, displacement, and recomposition of everyday objects drawn from the industrial world and our domestic environment. Through this act of decontextualization, she creates sculptures and hybrid assemblages in which standardized production and artisanal gestures confront each other, navigating between solidity and fragility, between use and contemplation. For her first solo exhibition in Belgium, Hisae Ikenaga presents a selection of both existing and new works. They reflect her interest in industrial processes, archaeological remains, and laboratory environments, as well as her ongoing exploration of our relationship with objects—their history, production, and function. Each piece reveals the artist’s ... More
