GHENT.- This autumn, the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent (MSK) presents the poetical world of the Impressionist artist Jenny Montigny from Ghent, one of the most remarkable figures of her generation. The exhibition brings together a rich and diverse body of work, revealing Montigny as an independent painter, pastellist, draughtswoman and etcher. Over the course of more than forty years, Jenny Montigny (Gent 1875-Deurle 1937) developed a diverse body of work in which light, colour and human presence are fundamental for her artistic practice. Her paintings, drawings, prints and pastels testify to a keen eye for the world around her and to a lasting fascination with everyday life: children at school, villagers working in the fields, mothers caring for their children, ladies strolling in the park, family members on the banks of the River Lys, or flowers from her own garden. The rhythm of daily existence lies at the heart of her work. Sunlight plays a key role in it. This exhibition traces Montigny’ ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- A sweeping new volume from The Monacelli Press brings together the work of 101 Iranian women artists, tracing a creative history shaped by cultural inheritance, political upheaval, migration and resistance. Boundless Spirit: Iranian Women Artists, edited by collector and scholar Mohammed Afkhami, looks at artists working in Iran and across the diaspora from the second half of the twentieth century to the present. Rather than presenting Iranian women’s art as a single movement or aesthetic, the book emphasizes its range. Painting, photography, sculpture, installation, works on paper and other media appear alongside approaches that move between abstraction, autobiography, social observation and political critique. Among the artists represented are Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, Shirin Neshat, Shadi Ghadirian, Afruz Amighi, Soheila Sokhanvari, Newsha Tavakolian and Marjane Satrapi, whose original artwork for Persepolis ...

WILLOUGHBY, OHIO.- Over the weekend of October 24-25, rare and historically-important military weapons from the Revolutionary War through Vietnam era will join a powerful lineup of antique and vintage sporting and handguns at Milestone Auctions in metro Cleveland. The auction will be webcast live from the gallery, with all forms of remote bidding welcome, including live online. An exceptional selection of World War II arms is led by an unfired 1944 Lahti (Finland) L-39 20mm anti-tank rifle and kit. Designed by legendary arms engineer Aimo Lahti, the L-39 was born out of Finland's urgent need for a mobile anti-armor weapon to counter Soviet forces in the late 1930s. Finnish soldiers nicknamed the model the “elephant gun” due to its immense size, weight and ability to fire high-velocity 20x138mmB Long Solothurn cartridges from a top-mounted 10-round magazine. Manufactured by the state ... More

BENTONVILLE, ARK.- Crystal Bridges has announced it will install a monumental recent acquisition, Roy Lichtenstein’s Brushstroke (1996, 2002-2003), on the lawn of Heartland Whole Health Institute. Weighing almost five tons, the 32-foot-high, 20-foot-wide sculpture is a rendition of a giant brushstroke of slick white paint. “Brushstroke has found a natural home on the Crystal Bridges Campus, where art blends with architecture, nature, wellness, and education,” said Rod Bigelow, Crystal Bridges executive director. “Set within a landscape designed to invite reflection and discovery, the work complements the trails, galleries, and gathering spaces on the campus. Brushstroke will create a moment of pause and a sense of wonder, sparking curiosity and contemplation. Ensuring this monumental work of art is on view, in a public space, reinforces Crystal Bridges’ mission to make art accessible to all.” The outdoor Brushstroke sculpture ... More
LONDON.- Today, Tate Modern opens the first major exhibition to explore Pictorialism as a global photographic movement. From the 1880s, Pictorialism transformed photography from a documentary tool into a fine art to establish a powerful artistic medium. Moving beyond traditional photographic histories centred around Europe and North America, the exhibition broadens both the geographical and chronological understanding of the movement, tracing its evolution through to the 1960s. Spanning four thematic chapters, the exhibition brings together 200 rare vintage prints by over 80 artists working across Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia, revealing the movement's extraordinary artistic ambition and international reach while presenting a new history of photography. The exhibition builds on Tate Modern's ongoing commitment to rethinking traditional histories ... More

The launch coincides with the opening week of Roy Lichtenstein: Like New, a major exhibition bringing together more than 130 works spanning six decades. ... More
Graciela Iturbide, Na' Lupe Pan, Juchitán, Oaxaca, 1986.
SANTA MONICA, CA.- ROSEGALLERY shared that Graciela Iturbide has been honored with the 2026 Leica Hall of Fame Award. “Over the course of more than five decades, the Mexican photographer’s life’s work has established her as one of Latin America’s most important and internationally renowned contemporary voices. Since the early 1970s, the photographer, born in 1942, has explored village structures and marginalised indigenous communities beyond her own metropolitan world in Mexico City, focusing in particular on the significance of matriarchal social structures. Her photographs form part of a humanist photographic tradition, combining documentary elements with a distinctive personal and subjective visual language. Iturbide has continuously placed tensions between culture and nature, tradition and modernity, and memory and the present at the heart of her photographic series. Her work ... More
Dame Barbara Hepworth, Sculpture with Colour (Eos), carved and painted in 1946. Estimate: £5,000,000-8,000,000.
LONDON.- Christie's will present Dame Barbara Hepworth's defining masterwork, Sculpture with Colour (Eos) (estimate: £5,000,000-8,000,000) as the lead highlight of the Modern British and Irish Art Evening Sale, taking place on 21 October 2026 in London. Carved from a single piece of pale Hopton Wood stone, Sculpture with Colour (Eos) rises from its base as an organic ovoid form, balanced delicately on its narrowest point. The sculpture was created in 1946, a pivotal year for Hepworth, in which she reached new levels of experimentation and development in her work, with colour emerging as an integral element of her sculptural language. One of just three known stone sculptures from 1946 to feature the application of painted colour to its form, the piece is among the most complex and inventive works Hepworth created in this vein. Sculpture with Colour (Eos) also featured in a photograph Lee Miller took of the artist in her studio for Vogue shortly after its completion, ... More
VIENNA.- The lush fields of flowers, enchanting forests, and mystic waterfalls in Shara Hughes’s paintings might have slipped out of a fever dream. Giant blossoms shoot skyward like tree tops, plants transform into strange creatures, turquoise suns glisten on the water’s surface, while the stars on the horizon bathe the landscapes in a magical light. Hughes’s paintings, her works on paper, and most recently her ceramics guide us through the jungle of an unbridled inner world—a world in which the familiar veers into the unknown, blurring the boundaries between reality and imagination. Shara Hughes (*1981) ranks among the outstanding and internationally acclaimed artists in contemporary art today. With the exhibition Sink In, the ALBERTINA presents the American artist’s first solo museum exhibition in Austria. For around a decade, landscapes have occupied a central place in Hughes’s oeuvre, evoking ... More
Michael Jackson’s 1983 “Thriller” Music Video-Worn Jacket. Estimate Available Upon Request.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- When Michael Jackson took the stage in 1983 to perform “Billie Jean” during the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television special, he delivered a performance that would change music and pop culture forever. Wearing his now-iconic rhinestone-studded glove and loafers, Jackson debuted the Moonwalk before a global television audience and cemented his status as a worldwide superstar. Later that year in 1983, Jackson appeared in the groundbreaking “Thriller” music video wearing the instantly recognizable red and black leather jacket. The short film transformed the possibilities of music videos, and made its choreography, imagery, and fashion, represented by that jacket, one of the most recognizable pieces of clothing in music history. Julien’s is set for another record-breaking auction later this year, when these four pieces return to the auction block December 7 as part of Michael Jackson: The Fashion Legacy Auction Evening Session. The auction will form part ... More
The experience of Soumahoro’s painting truly begins where the most rigorous arrangement seems to give way to instability.
PARIS.- Onto what worlds do Brooklin A. Soumahoro’s Windows open? From the outset, the geometric abstractions brought together in this exhibition invite the gaze to an experience both optical and chromatic. Each canvas develops from a complex arrangement of repeated and combined triangular motifs, following a system of its own. The triangle is the elementary unit, the module from which the entire composition is built. This organisation is the result of extensive preparatory work. In pencil, Soumahoro constructs geometric structures, adjusting their proportions through precise mathematical calculations before exploring the many ways they can be combined. Yet this rigorous discipline gives rise to a state of instability that the artist calls “perfect unbalance”. The experience of Soumahoro’s painting truly begins where the most rigorous arrangement seems to give way to instability. The gaze no longer travels across the surface but crosses a threshold and plunges into its dept ... More
Annette Messager: Tragikomedie, curated by Christelle Havranek and Theo Carnegy-Tan
8 October 2026 – 28 February 2027, Galleries 1 & 2, 900 m².
PRAGUE.- From 8 October 2026 to 28 February 2027, Kunsthalle Praha presents Annette Messager: Tragikomedie, the first major exhibition in Czechia dedicated to one of the most influential French artists of her generation. Bringing together works from more than five decades of her career, the exhibition shows Messager’s distinctive world, where tenderness meets unease and the familiar becomes strange. From intimate works on paper to expansive installations, her art challenges established ideas about gender, society and the body, often moving between personal experience and wider social questions. For over fifty years, Annette Messager has developed an artistic language built on tension, transformation, and provocation. Photography, textiles, and found objects are used to tell stories where everyday life is destabilised and our assumptions regarding society, gender, and art are challenged. Opposites comfortably share the same space in her works: ... More

Liv Vinluan examines colonial power, domesticity, and womanhood in exhibition at Silverlens MANILA.- Soft, Incandescent Rage by Liv Vinluan is now on view at Silverlens Manila through November 13. Historically documented as an aberration and a manifestation of a form of psychosis, an angry housewife was – more commonly then, but still, deceptively, now – perceived as something that must be attended to in the same manner as a domestic appliance in need of repair; the household’s functionality rests, inevitably, on theirs. Liv Vinluan looks at the interstitial, fragile moments that allow for a house, prone to falling apart, to hold its forbearance. Through the amalgamation of tropes of womanliness, marriage, motherhood, family devotion, and an infrastructure that keeps them evergreen, Liv creates exquisite aberrations of what she names “peculiar expectations.” Symbols of pregnancy, homemaking, and eternal caregiving – phenomena ...

Mudam Luxembourg previews its 2027 programme LUXEMBOURG.- We are living through a period of profound change. Political, social, technological and ecological transformations are reshaping the world around us, often faster than we can fully understand them. A museum cannot provide simple answers to the questions of the present. It can, however, create a place to look closely, encounter different perspectives and think and experience together. Mudam Luxembourg’s 2027 programme moves between past and future, the collection and new productions, visual art, performance, architecture, sound and music. Rather than defining a single theme, it brings different generations, geographies and artistic practices into relation, creating encounters from which new connections can emerge. At the centre is the Mudam Collection. Throughout the year, works from the collection will appear across the museum, inviting audiences ... More
Xippas Geneva presents Olaf Holzapfel's second solo exhibition GENEVA.- For his second solo exhibition in Geneva, Xippas presents Une réalité insolite, an exhibition by Olaf Holzapfel bringing together paintings and works made of straw. Through these bodies of work, the artist continues an inquiry he has pursued for several decades into the ways images constitute space and how matter, in turn, determines its forms. In Holzapfel’s work, the line is never simply drawn. It can be painted, calculated, assembled, or found within the very structure of a material. In his straw works, each stalk is simultaneously material and line. Its length, resistance, and irregularities directly contribute to the composition. Surfaces emerge that appear by turns flat and deep, abstract and almost architectural. The image does not represent a space located elsewhere: it materially produces it. This question also runs through the paintings ... More

Alexander Berggruen now representing Raul De Lara NEW YORK, NY.- Alexander Berggruen announced representation of Raul De Lara. Raul De Lara (b. 1991, Culiacán, Sinaloa, México) handcrafts wooden sculptures that depict household objects and the natural world. Poetic symbolism emerges, inspired by his experience as an immigrant from Mexico and a DACA recipient. His work balances political messages with exploring the beauty and mystery of the natural world and the mundane. Alexander Berggruen presented De Lara's work in a duo booth at The Armory Show (September 25-27, 2026 / VIP Preview — September 24, 2026).

Together, they illuminate New York’s central role in the development of American furniture and design ... More
OSL contemporary explores light, beauty, and disquiet in Norwegian painting OSLO.- In Norwegian, høst means both autumn and harvest. In English, fall is at once a season and a descent. Between the two words lies the temper of this exhibition, both an abundance of colour and gathered energy, and beneath it, a persistent unease. OSL contemporary is proud to present a group exhibition with Thorbjørn Sørensen, Astrid Nondal and Kim Andreas Roland Berger. The three differ in style, technique, and generation, yet they share an intensity and a sustained interest in what painting can still be. They all intimately work with the history of the medium, and each of them lets something unsettled run beneath an alluring first impression. Thorbjørn Sørensen's two new oil paintings noticeably depart from Lurid Green Canvases, his 2025 exhibition at OSL contemporary. In the first, we see the legs of people walking casually through rainbow-like hues, while ... More
Palazzo Citterio presents first major posthumous retrospective of Carlo Maria Mariani MILAN.- Palazzo Citterio in Milan is presenting the first major posthumous retrospective devoted to Carlo Maria Mariani, bringing together 70 works that trace more than seven decades of an artist who made the history of painting itself one of the central subjects of his work. Titled The Eternity of Painting, the exhibition runs from October 9, 2026 through January 10, 2027 and is curated by Eike Schmidt and Clayton Calvert. Spanning Mariani’s production from the 1940s to 2019, the show follows an unusually wide-ranging career that moved through Neoclassicism, Hyperrealism, abstraction, Conceptual art and Metaphysical painting without ever abandoning a deep engagement with art history. Mariani, who was born in 1931 and died in 2021, developed a practice grounded in sustained study of philosophy, literature and theory. His work repeatedly returned to questions ... More

On a day like today, Italian painter and educator Mariotto Albertinelli was born
October 13, 1474. Mariotto di Bindo di Biagio Albertinelli (13 October 1474 - 5 November 1515) was an Italian Renaissance painter active in Florence. He was a close friend and collaborator of Fra Bartolomeo. Some of his works have been described as "archaic" or "conservative"; others are considered exemplary of the grandiose classicism of High Renaissance art.
