Equestrian Portrait of the Duke of Lerma, Peter Paul Rubens, ROOM 28. Prado National Museum.
MADRID.- The Museo Nacional del Prado is offering visitors a new way to read its permanent collection through the thematic itinerary “The Council of State and the Prado Museum,” organized in collaboration with Spain’s Council of State to mark the institution’s fifth centenary. On view until September 20, 2026, the route brings together 13 works that span five centuries of Spanish political, institutional, and cultural history. Through portraits of figures connected to the Council of State, the Prado explores how portraiture functioned not only as an artistic genre of exceptional importance, but also as a powerful instrument for representing authority, influence, service, and public memory. The itinerary begins with one of the defining images of 16th-century portraiture: Titian’s portrait of Emperor Charles V with a dog. Although the origins of the Council of State date back to 1521, Charles V decisively transformed the institution in 1526 in Granada, giving greater prom ... More
Vincent van Gogh, Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat, 1887, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation)
AMSTERDAM.- Vincent van Gogh is known throughout the world. But his fame was far from inevitable. From 12 June 2026, the Van Gogh Museum presents Vincent’s Path to Fame, an exhibition that explores how an artist who received little recognition during his lifetime became one of the most famous artists in the world. After Vincent’s death in 1890, it was by no means certain that his work would reach a large audience. Just a few months later, his brother Theo also died. Theo’s widow, Jo van Gogh-Bonger, was left with hundreds of paintings, drawings and letters, as well as a young son. She could have sold the collection or broken it up. Instead, she took on a far more ambitious task: convincing the world of Vincent’s artistic genius. Jo gradually built Van Gogh’s reputation through exhibitions, loans, publications and a keen sense of timing. The exhibition shows how, over the decades that followed, Vincent grew from ... More
Isaac Israels' Europe. A captivating journey through early 20th-century Europe as seen by artist Isaac Israels, exploring art, identity, and cultural change across a rapidly modernizing continent.
OTTERLO.- From April 24 through August 30, 2026, the Kröller-Müller Museum is presenting Isaac Israels’ Europe. The exhibition shows that Isaac Israels (1865–1934) painted much more than the portraits of women for which he became so well known. Travel remained a passion until his death, and this is clearly reflected in his art. Isaac was the son of the world-famous painter Jozef Israëls. In his parental home in The Hague, a constant stream of international visitors came and went. In this lively environment, the child prodigy Isaac developed his artistic and intellectual curiosity at an early age. At the age of thirteen, Isaac Israels made his first tour of Europe. It was the beginning of a life as a nomad: always on the move and always at work. This led to a very large and versatile body of work, offering an impression of worldly, sophisticated life at the beginning of the twentieth century. ... More
Anish Kapoor, Hayward Gallery. Main Edition. Front Cover.
LONDON.- As a centrepiece of the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary programme, the Hayward Gallery presents a landmark exhibition from Anish Kapoor (16 June - 18 October 2026), marking his highly-anticipated return to the space after it was the first public gallery in the UK to host a major survey of his work in 1998. Curated by Ralph Rugoff, the show spans new and seminal works, offering a series of spectacular encounters with Kapoor’s sculptures and paintings across the entire gallery and its terraces. Anish Kapoor is internationally renowned for making art that provokes the senses and the mind. Over the last four decades, he has relentlessly experimented with a wide range of materials to create evocative sculptures and paintings that spark a deep sense of mystery. From black holes to boundless mirrors, Kapoor’s work interrogates what he calls ‘the space of the object’, inviting us to look twice and question how we experience our ... More
Danielle Fretwell, Holding On, 2026 Oil on canvas, 48 x 36 inches, 121.9 x 91.4 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Olney Gleason opened a solo exhibition of new oil paintings by New Hampshire-based artist Danielle Fretwell (b. 1996). Terms of Consumption features a suite of still lifes that further develop the artist’s inquiry into the perception of truth and illusion. Fretwell imbues the genre of still life painting with a contemporary urgency, combining a skillful use of painting, photography, and printmaking techniques to pose questions about what is seen and obscured. Her paintings are frequently split by two compositional elements: precisely rendered still lifes – replete with an abundance of fruits, desserts, and tableware – are juxtaposed with abstract fields of color and texture, which the artist describes as veils. Evoking the sensuous allure of Dutch Golden Age banquet scenes, Fretwell’s still lifes are forthcoming in their power to entice, their immersive bird’s-eye views and characteristically dim settings emphasizing their visual seduction. By contrast, the vei ... More

BASEL.- With Janiva Ellis and Shuang Li, Kunsthalle Basel presents two first institutional solo exhibitions in Europe. Ellis brings eleven new paintings to Basel, moving through the canonical languages of art history with a wit and urgency that is entirely her own. Li premieres her most expansive film to date in an immersive installation, reframing the pursuit of extreme weather as a lens on the digital forces shaping contemporary life. Together, the exhibitions ask what becomes visible when you press against inherited structures from within. Janiva Ellis’s first institutional solo exhibition in Europe opens with a dialogue across eleven paintings made specifically for this occasion. The works incorporate representational imagery and abstraction, moving through contradictions and complexities. Three threads traverse the exhibition: the religious, the landscape, and the erotic. Each carries a long association to painting and has been renegotiated repeatedly throughout art history. Ellis wo ... More

FONTAINEBLEAU.- Among the 80 classic cars Osenat Auctions is offering at its Summer Sale on 29th June in Fontainebleau, is a Facel Vega HKII, exactly like the one owned by Beatle, Ringo Starr, in 1962 which he bought at the Earls Court Show and drove for four years. The car is one of a private collection of three meticulously restored to concours standard classic cars. “The HK500 was the most fascinating car we ever built, but the Facel II was the best. It was the epitome of elegance.” Jean Daninos, its designer. Ringo Starr wiould no doubt agree with that sentiment and would have loved the fact that in 1962 it was one of the fastest four seater coupes in the world with a top speed of 240km/h (140mph). It was exceptionally rare too with just 180 of them built. Under its long hood sits the 6.3-liter Chrysler Typhoon TY8 V8. Some €259,000 has been spent on its restoration. This HK2 being sold by Oenat was exhibited at Retromobile in Paris. Louis de Russe of Osenat ... More

TextielMuseum to open exhibition exploring the textile mind of Hella Jongerius TILBURG.- The TextielMuseum in Tilburg will open Hella Jongerius – Smart Hands this autumn, a major exhibition dedicated to the textile work and design process of internationally renowned Dutch designer Hella Jongerius. On view from October 31, 2026 through April 4, 2027, the exhibition offers visitors a rare look inside Jongerius’ creative world, showing how she thinks through textiles, experiments with materials, and connects craft, industry, color, and innovation. Jongerius is widely recognized as one of the most influential Dutch designers working internationally. Her designs for companies such as IKEA, KLM, and Vitra have brought her work to audiences around the world, but textiles have always remained a central thread in her practice.

CUE Art presents collaborative exhibition 'Datos Helados │ Soft Tidal' in New York NEW YORK, NY.- CUE Art presents Datos Helados | Soft Tidal, an exhibition by Federico Bolagno-Romero and Mathías Chumino, curated by Will Rubenstein. The exhibition is on view at CUE's gallery space at 137 W. 25th Street until June 27th, 2026. Attendance during gallery hours (Wed–Sat, 12–6 pm) is free; no reservations are required. Datos Helados | Soft Tidal is an extension of the artists’ broader Datos Helados project, which conceives data as liquid, malleable matter. Developed in chapters across Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Barcelona, Tokyo, and Berlin, the project treats data as a force with agency: capable of settling, eroding, and transforming. In this installment of the series, the relationship between New York and Montevideo traces a psychogeographic vector between two estuaries. Twice a day, the Hudson River reverses direction: fresh water descending ... More
Artist Karen Kilimnik blends historical painting, pop culture, and military motifs in new show ZURICH.- Galerie Eva Presenhuber is presenting its ninth solo exhibition with the US-American artist Karen Kilimnik. Since the late 1970s, Karen Kilimnik has consistently incorporated a wide variety of media into her work—from drawing and painting to collage, and mise-en-scène-sculpture to photography and video. Despite this openness to different media, her work follows a conceptual precision. Kilimnik operates with an iconographic archive that spans several centuries: from 17th- and 18th-century court painting to romantic landscapes and history painting to references to popular culture, fashion, television, and movies. However, these diverse image sources do not appear as linear art-historical quotations. Rather, they appear in Kilimnik’s works as cultural recurring forms—as pictorial formulas that have sedimented over the course of history and are becoming ... More

Kunsthalle Bern introduces its Code of Conduct BERN.- Kunsthalle Bern introduces a pioneering code of conduct—a comprehensive living framework for a contemporary art institution such as a Kunsthalle that articulates its ethical commitments across governance, programming, public engagement, and working culture. The document was co-authored by the director and the institution’s team in an effort to transparently distribute authorship across all levels of operation, with the support of Piergiorgio Pepe, a senior expert in ethics and compliance within the contemporary cultural sector.

The goal is to work towards an institution that is not only accessible, but also creates space for collective practices of care where ... More
Galleria Continua opens Jonathas de Andrade solo exhibition in Paris PARIS.- GALLERIA CONTINUA is presenting, in its Paris Marais space, Ivresse d’une vie de bains de mer, a solo exhibition by the Brazilian artist Jonathas de Andrade. The show highlights his multidisciplinary approach, bringing together film, photography, installation, and silkscreen, alongside poems by the artist, presented for the first time as part of an exhibition. Presenting recent and newly produced works, de Andrade first developed this body of work through a commission from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, where it was presented in November 2025 within the Photography Department. In this series, the photographic image undergoes a process of translation into silkscreen, shifting from a representational device to a structural ... More
Works by the "junger westen" art prize winners on view at Villa Romana in Florence FLORENCE.- The exhibition is part of Mutual Presence, an exchange and collaborative project between Villa Romana in Florence, Italy, and Kunsthalle Recklinghausen in Germany, the institutions associated with the two oldest German art prizes. It was a bright blue sparkle, like a cold fire, reflected on shimmering age-old stones in the dark that were wet from the sea. Having remained largely hidden since antiquity, the Blue Grotto was rediscovered in 1826 and fueled a romantic obsession of German artist in the 19th century. The sea-filled cave on Capri, illuminated by sunlight entering through an underwater opening, became the subject of many artworks to come. But it was particularly the early ones such as those by Heinrich Jakob Fried (1835) that talk about the fascination with the physical world and its visual phenomena. They evoke the poetry of water, stone, and light, ... More
The Huntington's "This Land Is ..." exhibition marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence SAN MARINO, CA.- The Huntington’s exhibition “This Land Is …” explores how land—claimed, cultivated, and contested—has shaped American life from before 1776 to the present. The exhibition’s title references the iconic 1940s song “This Land Is Your Land” by Woody Guthrie, with the ellipsis inviting reflection on the American project and land as both a geographical and metaphorical space of promise, struggle, and belonging. Moving from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from precolonial America to the 21st century, the exhibition presents multiple perspectives addressing such topics as opportunity and dispossession, mapping and ecology, and preservation and repair. A wide range of voices from the past and present—across ... More
