NAPLES.- For the first time in history, Leonardo da Vinci’s celebrated Codex Atlanticus has arrived in Naples, where it is now on view inside one of the city’s most atmospheric sites: the Majolica Cloister of the Monumental Complex of Santa Chiara. The exhibition opened on December 6, 2025, and will continue through June 7, 2026, presenting six original drawings from the Codex in rotation—three at a time. The project is the result of a collaboration between the Santa Chiara Complex, the Neapolitan Province of the Sacred Heart of Jesus OFM, Arthemisia, and the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana in Milan. The Codex’s arrival marks a major cultural milestone for Naples. Although Leonardo’s name is universally known and his masterpieces have shaped global visual culture, opportunities to view his scientific and mechanical drawings up close remain extremely rare. The Codex Atlanticus, the largest surviving collection of Leonardo’s writings and sketches, spans more than forty years o ... More

A truly exceptional natural Fancy Pink diamond weighing 6.17 carats.
DALLAS, TX.- An exceptional natural fancy pink diamond weighing 6.17 carats realized $2,187,500 in Heritage’s Holiday Fine Jewelry Signature® Auction on Wednesday. Known as The Angelina, the fresh-to-market oval-shaped treasure helped lead the Dec. 3 auction to an $8,405,540 finish and now stands as the highest-priced item of jewelry in Heritage history. Natural pink diamonds like The Angelina are some of the rarest gemstones on Earth. Less than 0.01% of all diamonds mined annually display natural pink coloration, and those surpassing 5.00 carats with richly saturated tone reside at the absolute pinnacle of rarity. “The sale of this extraordinary pink diamond for $2.18 million underscores just how sought-after stones of this magnitude are,” says Jill Burgum, Heritage’s Executive Director of Fine Jewelry. “It’s incredibly special to place a gem of this importance into the hands of a new steward.” The Angelina comes from the Estate of Willa Dean Lyon and takes its n ...

Apparatus 22, The Spell of New. Photo: Henrik Hellström/Malmö Konstmuseum.
MALMO.- The Spell of New is a curatorial experiment unfolding in Malmö’s historic Kungsparken—a park layered with centuries of memory, speculation, and regeneration. Artists and publics are invited to inhabit this transitional site as a living studio: a place where the museum-to-come can already be imagined, questioned, and enchanted. At its core, The Spell of New transforms the site into a field laboratory of place-based inquiry. Here, the institution repositions itself not as a container of works, but as a collaborator in acts of situated learning—a curatorial pedagogy grounded in patience, locality, and dialogue. Each chapter unfolds as both exhibition and rehearsal, tracing the park’s shifting meanings through site-specific installations, performative gestures, and collective gatherings. The project invites the public to consider the museum as an evolving ecosystem rather than a completed form. The Spell of New is a long-term curatorial framework for thinking through in ... More
PARIS.- Ten years after the artist’s first exhibition at the gallery, Jean-Michel Sanejouand. Real Spaces, Imaginary Spaces brings together two significant bodies of work: Calligraphies d’humeur [1968–1978] and Espaces-Peintures [1978–1986]. Several of the works on view were previously included in the artist’s retrospective exhibitions at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lyon in 1986 and at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 1995. These two milestones provided crucial institutional recognition to a career guided by its own internal logic in which each series paves the way for the next, allowing it to emerge in a new form. While emphasising the foundational role of the 1968–1986 period, the Art : Concept exhibition also highlights the transitions, ruptures and continuities that have shaped Jean-Michel Sanejouand’s thinking and practice. Throughout his career, ... More
Little Jaguar (Jaguarcito) (2020)
PUERTO VALLARTA.- A Mexican artist known for his work in graphic arts, particularly in the traditional Russian style of lubok, Alejandro Barreto is recognized by the Russian Academy of Traditional Art as the "Ambassador of Lubok Art in Mexico" for both his doctoral work (He has a Master of Fine Arts degree from the San Carlos Academy and a Ph.D. in Arts and Design with honors from FAD-UNAM, National Autonomous University of Mexico) and the documentary, Plastic Artisan, produced by the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) public television network in Mexico City, about his work and time in Moscow. He is currently an Honorary Research Member of the Russian Academy of Traditional Art. Derived from the Russian word lub, which translates as a board onto which images are printed, Lubok prints have a narrative style often telling stories or conveying messages through images and text. A key feature of its artwork is its bold, expressive lines and vibrant colors. A traditional Russian folk art form that originat ... More
LONDON.- Twilight Contemporary is presenting Mary West with Awash, a solo exhibition of paintings exploring the paradoxical nature of water. As you walk through the exhibition you will notice that the paintings trace water’s shifting states and emotional registers, revealing an element that is both cleansing and polluted, transparent and opaque. West’s work views water as both requisite and destabilising, as something that is tender while being simultaneously furious. Through vivid, and very gestural abstraction, Awash becomes a space to consider psychological and ecological conditions. There is a tangible balance between turbulence and calm in the water. West, who is often drawing from memory rather than direct observation, blurs the line between what is real and what is imagined, allowing the experience of water to be very personal and visceral for each viewer. The personification of water in West’s work ... More

LONDON.- Kearsey & Gold is presenting Innocence, an exhibition featuring 10 photographic prints by American photographer and filmmaker Lily Gavin (b. New York, 1995). In Gavin’s conception this series is not a means to capture something extant in the world, instead, photography is utilised to create imagery that does not yet exist. In order to do this she constructed miniature worlds from found objects, natural materials, constructed frames and confined spaces. What is so powerful about Gavin’s photography is that it reawakens the attitude of childhood. This attitude is a phenomenological innocence rather than a moral one. We are reminded to see how we once saw: from our innocent minds, from our lived perspective, the world anew each time. The strangeness of Gavin’s world seems to un-teach us the lessons we have learned. What we think we see, we simultaneously doubt and in our search we find the dilemmas ... More
Mary Frank, Looking, 2025. Oil on board, 24 x 20 inches.
NEW YORK, NY.- DC Moore Gallery is presenting Mary Frank: As If for the First Time. Featuring new paintings, collages, and sculpture, and previously unseen drawings, this exhibition focuses on recurrence, discovery, and Frank’s regenerative mining of her own archive. This selection of work explores the evolution and throughlines of Mary Frank’s distinctive visual language. In her latest works, Frank recombines fragments of previous pieces, both materially and conceptually, remixing time and mediums to present a world familiar yet ever mysterious. Charcoal drawings from 1959, the earliest works included in the exhibition, depict monumental women reclined in serpentine positions on vast horizon lines. These figure drawings were inspired by memories of sketches done on the beach over many summers in Cape Cod. Frank would dig herself a place in the sand so that she was ... More

Allen-Golder Carpenter, Black on Both Sides, 2025. Acrylic paint and Silkscreen on canvas, cotton shirt, VHS cassette, 180 x 160 cm. 70 9/10 x 62 9/10 in.
VIENNA.- Freedom should not be an individual state but a practice of sharing. Those who are free bear the responsibility to pass that freedom on—to other bodies, voices, and materials. In this sense, the exhibition brings together three artistic positions that do not depict freedom but practice it as movement and collective experience. Systems of Subversion shows how art can shift entrenched structures, and how freedom can be understood as a process, transgression as a method, and subversion as a shared practice. What unites Allen-Golder Carpenter, Paulina Aumayr and Thomas Supper is that they dissolve boundaries across different media and transform systems from within rather than merely criticizing them. Born in Washington D.C., Allen-Golder Carpenter combines sculpture, sound, painting and photography into a polyphonic network that explores cultural identity, surveillance and movement. ... More
Hughes creates her sculptural forms and reliefs with steel, insulation board, fiberglass, Aqua Resin, and handmade paper pulp.
RIDGEFIELD, CONN.- Kristy Hughes' vibrant abstract sculptures and paintings, "reclaim agency, visibility, and joy through color, form, texture, and found materials." Inspired by her Hispanic and Indigenous ancestry, many of her works incorporate reclaimed materials and hidden elements that give voice to "resistance and preserve memory," merging art with lived experience. For The Aldrich, Hughes is debuting Portal: Hope as Practice, 2025, her first public art sculpture and her largest work to date. Standing over ten feet tall, two multicolored rings meet to form a dynamic threshold of possibility. Many of Hughes' works integrate "thank you love letters," found poems, private messages, and tributes to people or ideas that have inspired her, along with found objects such as rocks, driftwood, string, clay, and more. These acts of gratitude and recovery transpose the energies of a specific place ... More

Rocket Gallery debuts a five-decade survey of Martin Parr's images of smoking culture LONDON.- Rocket presents its thirteenth solo exhibition of photographs by the internationally renowned British photographer Martin Parr. The exhibition will run for five months. This exhibition is dedicated to the increasingly controversial subject of smoking and highlights the evolution of smoking culture over the last five decades. The exhibition – and new book of the same title – spans the length of Parr’s career with photographs from 1970 to 2019. Throughout his career Martin Parr has captured daily life as it really is and as you sift through the archives it is rather difficult to not stumble upon a cigarette, cigar, pipe or – in recent years – a dreaded vape. So, with murmurs of the United Kingdom banning the purchase of tobacco by anyone born after 2009, no time seems more ideal to offer up a typically Parr commentary on society’s ever-changing relationship with smoking. The ... More

Rick Owens reimagines decay as renewal in Rust Never Sleeps at Carpenters Workshop Gallery LOS ANGELES, CA.- Carpenters Workshop Gallery presents Rust Never Sleeps, a new exhibition by Rick Owens Furniture, curated by Michèle Lamy. Taking its title from Neil Young’s 1979 anthem — the exhibition transforms the phrase into a manifesto for artistic endurance: it is better to burn out than to fade away. For Lamy and Owens, rust becomes a metaphor for creative resistance — a material language that rejects the corrosion of time. What appears decayed is, in truth, resilient; what seems eroded reveals unexpected strength. In this alchemy of oxidation, rust is not the mark of decline but a proof of life — evolving, alive, and enduring. The works in Rust Never Sleeps advance Owens’ exploration of primal materiality and architectural form. Among the highlights, the Antler Bed (2025) — shown publicly for the first time — embodies a cycle of renewal. Crafted from recycled ... More
Alberto Pitta's first UK solo exhibition celebrates Afro-Bahian identity through sacred textile traditions LONDON.- Ames Yavuz is presenting Mariwô: A Estética do Deslocamento, the first solo exhibition in the UK of Brazilian artist, Alberto Pitta. On view will be new works from Pitta’s Mariwô series, exploring the spiritually significant motif of the Oil Palm frond through screen-printed and painted textiles. Since the late 1970s, Alberto Pitta has been engaged in the myriad Afrodiasporic cultural traditions of his home region, Bahia, Brazil, especially in Carnival blocos, community-organised parades with distinctive aesthetic practices and spiritual worldviews. Printed and embroidered textiles, as embodied forms of “writing”, communication and storytelling, have grounded the artist’s more than forty-year long career. A researcher, archivist and originator of Afro-Bahian print styles, Pitta thinks of these fabrics as “second skin” that their wearers “transform into free, mobile ... More
Exhibition at LKFF Art Projects reveals intimate Belgian collection shaping post-war modernism BEERSEL.- « A Life with Art », pays tribute to a remarkable couple of Belgian art collectors whose passion for sculpture, painting, and works on paper deeply marked their home and lives throughout the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. This intimate yet ambitious presentation gathers a wide selection of artworks from their estate, ranging from Belgian abstract sculpture to lyrical abstraction, post-war painting, and refined works on paper. Their collection reflected both curiosity and consistency: a strong inclination toward abstraction, balanced by a few rare figurative pieces—including an emblematic early work by Hanneke Beaumont. A Home filled with Art… The house and garden formed an immersive environment where art was part of everyday life. Abstract sculptures by Louis Halleux, Johan Baudart, Jacques Guilmot, Antoine de Vinck, Francis Dusepulchre, Jacky ... More
Jack Shainman Gallery opens landmark exhibition honoring the life and legacy of Faith Ringgold NEW YORK, NY.- Jack Shainman Gallery announced Faith Ringgold, its inaugural exhibition dedicated to the trailblazing American artist, author, educator and activist. Spanning Ringgold’s extraordinary career, the exhibition foregrounds her groundbreaking and multifaceted practice in textiles—from her earliest ‘tankas’ to her iconic story quilt paintings—alongside pivotal early paintings, sculptures and rarely seen works on paper. Restlessly creative and formally ambitious, Ringgold explored the expressive potential of diverse media to create an incisive narrative about the historical sacrifices and achievements of Black Americans. Her practice emerged from the political consciousness and activism she developed during the 1960s and 1970s in Harlem, New York. Ringgold’s early paintings and works on paper from this period combine her unique ... More
