GREENWICH, CONN.-Heather Gaudio Fine Art is pleased to present Patrick Alston: Apertures, his first solo exhibition at the gallery. The new paintings featured in the show continue the artist’s signature vocabulary that focuses on a visual exploration of color and gesture. The show will open with a public reception on May 2nd, 4 -6pm, and runs through June 13th. “Patrick Alston’s paintings ask something genuine of the viewer — they require engagement, attention, stillness and a willingness to sit with uncertainty. That kind of work is rare, and we are honored to be able provide that viewing experience to audiences here in the gallery,” states Heather Gaudio. Apertures builds from an understanding of perception as something both deeply personal and collectively shared, shaped through gesture, color, and accumulated layers that hold traces of time, decision, and revision. ...

Digitasitation tasks at Gala Dalí Castle in Púbol.
FIGUERES.- The Dalí Foundation has launched an ambitious project for the comprehensive digitisation of its collections and the historical archive it preserves. The work process began last October and is expected to be completed in 2028. This initiative responds to one of the strategic priorities set by the President of the institution, Jordi Mercader, when he took office in 2017: to preserve, connect and project Dalí’s legacy into the future. The budget is €1.2 million to be executed over three years. The project aims to ensure the optimal conservation of the heritage and to democratise access to it. These collections and archival holdings are preserved in the archive and the storage facilities located at Torre Galatea (Figueres), and in the three Dalí Museums in Figueres, Púbol and Portlligat. Until now, digitisation had focused mainly on Salvador Dalí’s paintings, accessible online and in four languages through the Catalogue Raisonné on the corporate ... More
Artemisia Gentileschi, Mary Magdalen, (Fragment), sold for €837,500.
VIENNA.- A rare and uniquely compelling work by Artemisia Gentileschi, Mary Magdalen (Fragment), was sold for €837,500 (nearly US$1,000,000) at Dorotheum on Tuesday evening, 28th April 2026. The price far-exceeded the pre-sale estimate, and the spirited bidding battle was followed by sustained applause. The important, yet fragmented, painting attracted international attention even in the run-up to Dorotheum’s Old Master Paintings sale. This magnificent example of one of Artemisia’s most iconic subjects, is arrestingly unique thanks to the striking void at its centre – the head and shoulders have been cut out of the painting. The damage is believed to have occurred during the chaotic upheavals of the post war period. This lends the work a powerfully enigmatic character which falls between its art historical significance and its robust survival against the odds. Artemisia Gentileschi (1593–1654) is considered one of the most significant painters of her time. This work, da ... More
Alan Charlton British, Vertical Trapezium Painting, 2023. Acrylic on canvas, 238.5 x 72 cm.
LONDON.- "At Art School in 1969, I made a group of paintings. Instead of using stretcher bars I went to the timber yard and chose a standard timber size often used in general joinery work. After being prepared the size is 4.5 cm, this then would be the depth of the paintings. For the colour I chose the paint with a similar approach. Instead of buying paint from an art shop, I went to a hardware shop. Each painting was a single colour; red oxide, brown, green creosote, black, white and grey. Each achieved what I wanted, no illusions, straightforward and urban in feel. The grey painting however went beyond this. Since that time, I have continued to use 4.5 cm as the module and the paintings are always grey. I use these two constant elements to discover different ways of making the paintings." - Alan Charlton. Alan Charlton has been painting grey monochrome works for over 50 years, following the same principles of dimension, with the height, width, and depth of each work set as multiples of 4.5 c ... More
Julie Heffernan (b. 1956), Nature Morte (Questioning the Arguments), 2026. Oil on canvas, 60 x 52 in.
NEW YORK, NY.- Hirschl & Adler Modern presents Nutmeg’s Curse, Julie Heffernan’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Across six new paintings, Heffernan engages the tradition of the Old Masters to address contemporary preoccupations with the self, the body, and ecological anxiety about the fate of the natural world. Her influences range widely from Northern Renaissance artists and Dutch genre painting to the Hudson River School, literature, mythology, and the Catholic iconography of her upbringing. This exhibition takes its title from Amitav Ghosh's powerful critique connecting the spice trade and its controversial legacy to our contemporary climate crisis. Ghosh's book sent Heffernan back to the Dutch still-life paintings she has long admired and radically altered how she viewed the genre and the artists who painted them. The Dutch masters rendered their botanicals with trompe l'oeil precision, but Heffernan redefines that convention. Across six new paintings, dramatically scaled rose ... More
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901), Elsa, known as “la Viennoise”, 1897. Colour lithographs: 5 proofs, the signed final version. Estimate: €100,000 - 150,000.
PARIS.- His paintings depict life at the Moulin Rouge, as well as in other Parisian cabarets and theatres, and in the brothels he frequented. At the end of the 19th century, Japanese prints left a lasting imprint on a new artistic discipline: colour lithography. The encounter between Pierre Bonnard and Toulouse-Lautrec marked a turning point in the latter’s career. Influenced by Bonnard, Toulouse-Lautrec revolutionised lithography by adopting stylistic principles derived from Japanese art: bold outlines, incomplete forms and the use of a wide range of matte colours. Elsa, known as “la Viennoise”, presented at Artcurial, was an Austrian prostitute who lived in Paris at the end of the 19th century. She served as a model for Toulouse-Lautrec, who portrayed her in several works, including a graphite drawing now held at the Musée Toulouse-Lautrec, as well as in one of the twelve impressions of the lithograph that we will be offering for sale. The five trial proofs included in the upc ... More
Pacita Abad, Door made of straw III, 1998. Oil, acrylic, painted and dyed canvas, painted cloth stitched on straw mat, 85 x 56 1/4 in. 215.9 x 142.9 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Tina Kim Gallery presents Door to Life, its third solo exhibition of works by the visionary artist Pacita Abad (1946–2004) which highlights a series of works the artist made after a trip to Yemen in the spring of 1998. For years after, Abad created artworks across scale and media that drew tremendous inspiration from the architecture and decorative arts across the country. Including the debut of the artist’s never-before-seen qamariya paintings — references to the traditional stained glass windows of Sanaa — the exhibition will bring together the multiple bodies of work that comprise the holistic Door to Life series for the first time. Abad was a pioneering artist known for her rigorous political engagement and radical embrace of global arts and crafts practices, which she encountered throughout decades of extensive travel. Born to a politically-active family in Batanes, the northernmost province of the Philippines, Abad came to the United States in 1970 where she s ... More
Aurèlia Muñoz, Ens místic [Mystic Being], 1977. Macramé of sisal and jute ropes dyed by the artist (300 x 250 x 120 cm). MACBA Collection. On deposit from the Generalitat de Catalunya. National Art Collection. Formerly the Salvador Riera Collection. Photograph: Álex Moltó.
MADRID.- Museo Reina Sofía director, Manuel Segade, presented the exhibition Aurèlia Muñoz. Beings today, along with Elvira Dyangani, the former director of MACBA (2021–2026), and the curatorial team from Fundació EINA, with curators Manuel Cirauqui and Rosa Lleó, together with Sílvia Ventosa, who manages the Aurèlia Muñoz Archive.
In the press conference to present the show, Manuel Segade emphasised how, framed inside the institution’s policy of recovering women artists, it is key to the current context because it “gives an idea of her force as an artist and the importance of a practice that has the capacity to transform, like a small lever, our understanding of recent art history”. Elvira Dyangani, for her part, highlighted her interest in the Catalan artist in relation to “working on the artwork as knowledge, which meant to ... More
Untitled (Plaid), 2026. Watercolour on heavy watercolour paper, 76 x 56 cm.; 29 7/8 x 22 7/8 in. 80.5 x 60.5 x 4 cm.; 31 3/4 x 23 7/8 x 1 5/8 in. (framed).
LONDON.- Galerie Max Hetzler, London, is presenting Plaids, an exhibition of new watercolour on paper compositions by Grace Weaver. This is the artist’s sixth solo exhibition with the gallery, and her third in the London space. Painted in 2026 during an extended stay in Los Angeles, Weaver’s new body of abstract and figurative works draws on the rhythmic, patterned textiles of checks, tartans and plaids. Approaching painting as a form of drawing, with line laid down in fluid, sweeping brushstrokes, the ‘Plaids’ continue Weaver’s ongoing concern with colour, gesture, geometry and line. The artist explains: ‘if line has to do with mapping thought, then these are small bundles of thoughts, moments in time transcribed or translated into linear form’. Exploring vibrant combinations of colour, Weaver likens the painting of these works to the process of weaving itself, with accumulating bands of paint mirroring the methodical warp and weft of woven thread. In her cyc ... More

ROME.- Mechanical Kurds by Hito Steyerl, curated by Alice Labor, is one of the shows that opens the 2026 exhibition season at MACRO. Commissioned in 2025 by the Jeu de Paume in Paris and the New Museum in New York, and presented here for the first time in Italy, the work reflects on the relationships between digital labour, artificial intelligence, geopolitical conflict, and image production, combining a single-channel video with immersive spatial elements. Mechanical Kurds reveals the bodies, territories, and conflicts that remain invisible within the processes of AI creation, as well as the political violence concealed behind images and algorithms. The fragility of digital economy infrastructures, grounded in extractive monopolies of human and energy resources, emerges in the video, which moves between documentary and fiction. The filmic narrative juxtaposes documentary footage from the Domiz refugee camp in Iraqi ... More

Open call for Yves Klein Research Grant LUGANO.- The Yves Klein Foundation works to promote and foster the public understanding of Yves Klein’s work through exhibitions, research projects, publications, the preservation of his body of work and the development of the catalogue raisonné. Based in Lugano (Switzerland), the Foundation carries forward the fundamental mission initiated by its founding members, Rotraut Klein-Moquay, Yves Klein’s widow, and Daniel Moquay: to preserve, study, share with a large audience and highlight the artist’s major contribution to the history of art in the second half of the 20th century. A key figure of the avant-garde, Yves Klein played a decisive role in redefining art, calling for the “overcoming” of its “problematic.” He radically—and poetically— transformed what art can be, the way it manifests, and the spaces and media through which it takes form, even forging ...

Ora-Ora celebrates 20th anniversary with ambitious group show HONG KONG.- Ora-Ora’s HalluciNation group show draws on the line-up of seven artists shown at March’s Art Basel Hong Kong, and includes digital art, installation, sculpture, ink and mixed media. Artists included are as follows: Halley Cheng, Henry Chu, Huang Dan, Huang Yulong, Peng Jian, Nina Pryde and Xiao Xu. The title is inspired by the phenomenon of hallucinations within the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Hallucinations involve AI system’s filling in gaps with false data, perceiving something that isn’t there and fabricating information and presenting it as fact. Ora-Ora asked its artists to imagine that HalluciNation as a place, hence the accent on 'nation', suggesting a community of invention, but also shared beliefs and values. What could those values be? Primarily unlimited imagination, vivacity, colourful energy and limitless potential. It would be a place ... More
Liesl Raff: Wallpapers, Gathers and Mirages opens at Galerie Eva Presenhuber Vienna VIENNA.- Galerie Eva Presenhuber is presenting Wallpapers, Gathers and Mirages, its second solo show with the Vienna-based artist Liesl Raff. It is the gallery’s first exhibition with the artist in Vienna. Raff’s latest exhibition takes the opportunity to once again work through the essential basic elements and arrangements of her practice from recent years, almost like a spatial model case, and to bring them together within an exhibition space. However, this “space” refers less to the conceptual framework often implied by the term, and instead describes the exhibition space itself in a concrete and almost prototypical manner. The cascading sequence of gallery rooms is completely restructured through the precise interventions of Raff, generating a comprehensive ... More
Zimbabwean artist brings dreamlike site-specific works to Fondazione Memmo ROME.- Fondazione Memmo inaugurates Like Flowers We Fade, Portia Zvavahera's first institutional exhibition in Italy, curated by Alessio Antoniolli, running from Wednesday, April 29, to Sunday, November 1, 2026. For this occasion, Zvavahera presents a site-specific installation conceived especially for the Foundation’s spaces, together with a new body of paintings developed following a period of residency in Rome. The project marks a significant phase in the artist’s recent research, in which autobiographical experience intertwines with a broader reflection on memory, loss, and transcendence. Zvavahera’s work gives form to emotions emerging from realms and dimensions beyond the domains of everyday life and thought. Her vibrant, visionary imagery is rooted in the fundamental conditions of earthly existence—life and death, love and loss—translating intimate ... More
Spiritual fluxus and dreamscapes: Iceland unveils multidisciplinary pavilion for Venice VENICE.- The Icelandic Art Center will present Pocket Universe, a new multidisciplinary exhibition by artist, poet, composer and filmmaker Ásta Fanney Sigurðardóttir, representing Iceland at the 61st Venice Biennale. The exhibition focuses on shifting perspectives through hope, imagination and belief, proposing that even in times of instability, a shift in mindset can open up new possibilities. Ásta’s practice can be described as a form of “spiritual fluxus”, with a dream-like quality that blends different worlds and artistic disciplines. Working across sound, performance, moving image, sculpture and installation, she creates shifting experiences where it can be difficult to tell where one element begins and another ends. Rather than following a linear narrative, her work brings together different storylines and timelines, allowing layered worlds to appear and disappear. There is ... More
Cooke Latham Gallery opens exhibition of works by Johnny Izatt-Lowry LONDON.- Commuter time, the lights up, lights down, hour of day - a city stirring beneath the surface. Mundane lives and rituals glimpsed behind curtains. Familiar objects made unfamiliar through glass. The curious aspect of one’s own life when viewed glancingly from the outside. In Something else, somewhere else, in somebody else’s house Johnny Izatt-Lowry’s third solo exhibition at Cooke Latham the artist interrogates the act of looking, probing the porous division between private and public space. Formally the works are dense with historical reference. The muted tones and flattened planes of the early Renaissance, of a Giotto fresco or a Cimabue altarpiece, can be traced in the curious palette and eerie stillness of Izatt-Lowry’s compositions. Likewise the tongue in cheek energy of Georges Braque’s cubist still lives can be mapped in his playful grouping of objects. ... More
New exhibition highlights the artisan-made glass of historic regional churches ABINGDON, VA.- William King Museum of Art will present “Sanctuaries in Stained Glass,” opening April 30, 2026 and on view through November 29, 2026. The history of stained glass in Southwestern Virginia is inseparable from the movement of people through the Appalachian region. Beginning in the early 18th century, settlers traveled southward along the Great Wagon Road, a vital migration corridor stretching from Pennsylvania through the Shenandoah Valley and into the backcountry of Virginia and the Carolinas. By the late 19th century, churches began adopting Gothic Revival styles, characterized by pointed arches, tall windows, and decorative stained glass. Today, stained glass in Southwestern Virginia remains a scattered but powerful legacy. From the wagon ruts of early migration to the glowing windows of late 19th-century sanctuaries, stained glass ... More
Mitch Cairns celebrates two decades of painting at NAS Gallery SYDNEY.- From 1 May to 11 July 2026, the National Art School Gallery will present Mitch Cairns: Artist's Mouth, a major survey exhibition of work by Sydney-based painter and Archibald Prize winner Mitch Cairns, celebrating his twenty-year artistic career since graduating from the National Art School (NAS) in 2006.
