FRANKFURT.- The Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung is dedicating a major exhibition to the sculptor August Gaul (1869–1921), showcasing the artist in all his diversity as one of Germany’s first modern sculptors. Under the title Animals Are Only Humans Too. Sculptures by August Gaul (13 November 2025 – 3 May 2026), the museum is showing around one hundred of Gaul’s animal sculptures in dialogue with sculptures from three millennia. The topics range from animal worship in ancient Egypt and the hybrid creatures of Greek mythology to domestic animals in ancient Rome and animals in Christian iconography. August Gaul is considered to be one of the pioneers of modern sculpture in Germany. Through his depictions of animals, he liberated the motif from centuries-old symbolism, developing a new sculptural language that would continue to influence artists well into the twentieth century. The exhibition invites visitors to discover Gaul’s modernity through some one hundred works in bronze ... More

DENVER, PA.- Morphy’s festive December 10-11 Winter Fine & Decorative Arts Auction of 1,160 luxury lots surpassed $1.8 million, with fine jewelry, European decorative art and American art glass dominating the top 10. There was no shortage of interest in “the finer things,” whether it was a sparkling diamond necklace or a fabulous Tiffany Studios lamp. The old saying “age before beauty” certainly didn’t apply to the diverse array of 37 leaded- and stained-glass lamps, which displayed both qualities in glowing harmony. The high-end selection included 17 Tiffany Studios table, desk and hanging lamps, led by a magnificent Daffodil lamp with a 20-inch leaded-glass shade. Its design incorporated several shades of blue in its background with daffodil reeds that showed off incredible complexity and a myriad of colors ranging from light to darker shades of green and blue, with mottled golden orange and yellow blossoms. The shade was signed to the inside rim Tiffany Studios New ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Vito Schnabel Gallery is presenting Fits and Starts on October 29 in New York, an exhibition of new works by Robert Storr. Painted over the last year, Storr’s striking geometric compositions are contemplative and powerful. Storr follows his own intuitive rules when creating each piece, beginning the process by creating a drawing on his iPhone and blocking out areas of color. This digital study serves as the sketch for the final painting, which allows him to experiment with form and color before committing to the canvas. As Gestalt psychologist Rudolf Arnheim argued, the mind tries to "correct" visual anomalies in the interest of holistic pictorial phenomena. Accordingly, symmetry and asymmetry, balance and imbalance, and the spatial tension they set in motion are central dynamics in Storr’s work. The forms in each picture engage in a quiet but persistent dialogue; a weight on one side of the canvas calls for compensation ... More

VENICE.- Jon Cuyson and Mara Gladstone will represent the Philippines at the 61st International Venice Biennale with the exhibition Sea of Love / Dagat ng Pag-ibig, open to the public from May 9 to November 22, 2026. The Philippine Pavilion is commissioned by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) in partnership with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the Office of Senator Loren Legarda. Sea of Love / Dagat ng Pag-ibig features work by the Manila-based artist and filmmaker Jon Cuyson. Essential forms from his 30-year practice, including paintings, videos and sculptures, pay homage to the Filipinos who populate our global waterways. The exhibition channels notions of the seafarer, his family, ships and mollusks to centralize the Filipino labor that fuels the monumental movement of global commerce. The exhibition is curated by Mara Gladstone, a California-based scholar and educator. “I am honored to represent the Philippines on the world’s most ... More

Harold Gilman, Stanislawa de Karlowska, ca. 1913, oil on canvas, Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Fund.
NEW HAVEN, CONN.- This spring, the Yale Center for British Art invites visitors to explore the complex and evolving narratives of British art across centuries, with three compelling special exhibitions. Drawing from the museum’s renowned holdings, these exhibitions illuminate creative collaborations, global exchanges, and the emergence of distinctive forms of modernism across continents from the eighteenth century to the present. “Our spring exhibitions demonstrate the museum’s commitment to presenting a dynamic story of British art,” said Martina Droth, Paul Mellon Director, YCBA. “They illuminate the complex interplay of culture and power, while inviting audiences to explore cross-cultural connections and artistic innovation across the centuries.” This exhibition examines the extraordinary artistic exchanges between Indian, British, and Chinese artists whose work and lives were shaped by the growing power of the British East India Company.

Antonio Ballester Moreno, Red, 2024, painted steel, 76 x 85.5 x 15 cm, 175 x 119 x 41 cm (with base).
ARDEZ.- Feelings of the season. Feelings of winter. A tangle of compressed time, silent intimacy and cold air leaking into overheated rooms. Winter doesn’t ever arrive cleanly. Sometimes it breaks in overnight, other times it lingers at the edge for weeks. Feelings of the Season IV includes works by Antonio Ballester Moreno, Mirko Baselgia, Lêna Bùi, Chen Sixin, Klodin Erb, Hu Qingyan, Miao Miao, Loredana Sperini, Rebekka Steiger, Ju Ting, Alice Wang and Wiedemann/Mettler. Twelve artists, twelve positions. Not a theme show but a set of underlying conditions. Each work stands apart, yet all respond to a shared atmosphere. Some works feel like they have thickened in the cold. Klodin Erb’s Raketen paintings resemble icy icons, hybrids of church and crystal. Each one is named after a real rocket, as if they’re holding their breath before lift-off, lending a muted sense of propulsion to otherwise static images. Erb’s Nachtisch, on the other hand, sets a tone of festive excess. H ... More
BATH.- Dreams of the everyday, our new exhibition brings together the paintings of Winifred Nicholson (1893–1981) and Andrew Cranston (b. 1969, Hawick, UK). Dreams of the everyday is curated by the designer and collector Jonathan Anderson, in collaboration with Andrew Cranston and the gallerist Richard Ingleby. The exhibition explores the connections and contrasts in paintings by Nicholson and Cranston, many of which share a delight in ordinary, often domestic, realities – drawing on daily-life, memory and imagination, and incorporating figures, interiors and glimpses of nature. Both artists’ practices are at once rooted in the real world, while going beyond conventionality and the commonplace to evoke a sense of non-physical, sometimes mystical, and occasionally visionary, realities. The two painters, though distanced by time and place, are connected by their commitment to a kind of painting that values intimacy ... More

The photographs in this exhibition, taken by McCartney with his own camera, ... More

AMSTERDAM.- Visual artist Kevin Osepa was presented with the Prix de Rome for Visual Arts yesterday by Dutch State Secretary Becking (Education, Culture and Science). Osepa won the award for his new work Lusgarda, taking into account his entire oeuvre. The artist will receive a 60,000 EUR contribution. The Prix de Rome is an incentive award for talented visual artists who convincingly offer new insights into the visual arts in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and contribute notably to its development. Lusgarda is a total installation that Osepa created especially for the Prix de Rome. It highlights the disappearing ritual of Ocho Dia, the eight-day mourning period after a funeral on his native island of Curaçao. A work that “overwhelms and moves,” according to the jury in their report. “Lusgarda is a vibrant work that elevates both the recognizable and the concealed to a higher poetic level.” The jury recognises Osepa as an artist with a highly distinctive visual language who ha ...

Asi Föcker, Echoes, 2025. Light installation with 25 round mirrors, 2 spotlights, 2 stands, courtesy of the artist.
LUCERNE.- XL refers both to the area covered by this year’s exhibition, and to the number of applications; 322 portfolios, meaning over 100 more entries than to date. The six-person jury chose 43 of them for the exhibition. The 45 artists were born between 1943 and 2008 and stand for several generations of outstanding artistic work in and from the region. The large range of genres extends from classical painting and drawing to sound and video installations, and involves a great thematic diversity: the consequences of digitization are addressed as are art history or the rules of this exhibition. The video work modern love by Judith Albert deals with the significance of proximity in the era of digital technologies. In the work series Diachronos, Deakzession und Massendinghaltung (Diachronos, deaccessioning, and mass record retention) Anna-Sabina Zürrer has created a luminous kinetic sculpture in order to process art and cultural history photographs ...

Watts per Lumen at the Dorsky Museum explores light as material, energy, and power NEW PALTZ, NY.- On view Feb. 7 through July 12, 2026, The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz presents “Watts per Lumen,” an exhibition of contemporary art that approaches light as both a material and an object of study. As an object of study, light is hard to see. Ambivalently, it is both a particle with no mass and the fastest wave in the universe. As a material, it occupies great expanses of space yet presents itself as mere surface or void. “Watts per Lumen” explores how we nevertheless orient ourselves through an interpretation of the energy that it carries. Through painting, technical studies, installation, photography, sculpture and mixed media, this exhibition considers the ways in which light mediates experiences and transmits an array of consequential information. “Watts per Lumen” includes work by Mary Ellen Carroll, Chryssa, Darrel ...

Goldsmith Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition is the first solo museum presentation for one of today’s leading young artists. Jes Fan (born Toronto 1990; raised in Hong Kong; lives and works in New York) makes works that explore the porousness of identity and challenge the limits of binary categorization. Jes Fan: Unbounded features sculptures that highlight the artist’s wide-ranging processes, from glassblowing to CT scanning and 3D printing, and their innovative approach to materials, including resin, glass, and silicone. Using an abstract language often based on the human form, Fan’s sculptures probe the changing ... More

Houston Center for Contemporary Craft will spotlight the city's material culture in Clutch City Craft HOUSTON, TX.- Houston Center for Contemporary Craft will present Clutch City Craft, a major group exhibition examining the craft traditions and material cultures that have shaped Houston into one of the nation’s most formidable centers of making. Spanning both the front and main galleries at HCCC, the show features a wide spectrum of making practices, from the artists behind century-old, mosaic street signs to cowboy boot makers and fiber artists who design space suits and preserve the woven interiors of NASA mission control. HCCC Curator and Exhibition Director Sarah Darro notes, “Drawing its title from the city’s emblematic nickname—earned during the Houston Rockets’ back-to-back NBA championship wins in 1994 and 1995—this exhibition uses Clutch City as both a cultural ethos and curatorial framework to examine how skilled craftsmanship underpins Houston’s ...

Kunsthall Trondheim presents its winter-summer 2026 program TRONDHEIM.- Even stagnant power is never passive; in revolution and stasis alike, social and political conditions will determine a life’s possibilities. From unwritten social codes to internalized grand narratives of progress or decline, Kunsthall Trondheim examines the norms and systems that govern inclusion and exclusion. Spanning the Baltic, North Sea, and Caribbean, as well as more mundane sites like corporate offices and amusement parks, these projects expose the invisible lines between who is considered "in" and "out"- and what it takes to redraw them. How much of "real life" is real? What happens when something true is made by someone fake? When a person dressed as Snow White tries to enter Disneyland? When an artist, dressed as an intern, goes into a multi-national consulting firm to sit at an empty desk and do "brain work"? Breaking Ranks is a mid- ... More
A broader story of American art unfolds in The Phillips Collection's 'Out of Many' WASHINGTON, DC.- The Phillips Collection presents Out of Many: Reframing an American Art Collection, an exhibition rooted in the museum’s century-old collection. The exhibition embraces the concept of “many” as a fundamental value in understanding the diverse histories and narratives of art and culture in the United States.

Six Trees positions Zio Ziegler's work between nature, spirituality, and abstraction GSTAAD.- Almine Rech is presenting Six Trees, Zio Ziegler’s third solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from December 22, 2025 to February 1, 2026. If there is one 20th-century avant-garde artist who not only attempted but also succeeded—groundbreakingly so—in demonstrating the radical interrelation between spirituality, nature, and the uniquely human ability to recognize, appreciate, and distill universal harmony into a simplified visual code, that artist was Piet Mondrian. Although he began with a figurative approach under the influence of the Barbizon school, he soon abandoned realism and moved rapidly from figurative Cubism to abstraction. It was after a trip to Idaho that Bay Area–based artist Zio Ziegler experienced an epiphany. “A few summers ago,” he recalls, “I was on a river and started looking at all these burned-out husks of trees. A big fire had gone ... More

On a day like today, American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat was born
December 22, 1960. Jean-Michel Basquiat (December 22, 1960 - August 12, 1988) was an American artist who rose to success during the 1980s as part of the neo-expressionism movement. Basquiat first achieved notoriety in the late 1970s as part of the graffiti duo SAMO, alongside Al Diaz, writing enigmatic epigrams all over Manhattan, particularly in the cultural hotbed of the Lower East Side where disco, punk, and street art coalesced into early hip-hop culture.
