George Romney British (1734–1802), John Henderson in the Role of Macbeth, ca. 1785, Oil on canvas, 50 x 40 in. (127 x 101.6 cm.)
ALEXANDRIA VA.- A remarkable George Romney painting that disappeared from view for more than half a century is returning to the auction block this month. John Henderson in the Role of Macbeth, painted around 1785, will be offered as Lot 3032 in The Potomack Company’s English, European & American Fine Art auction on September 24, 2026. The work has been rediscovered after 51 years and, according to the catalog research, can now be connected to one of Romney’s most ambitious theatrical portraits. The painting depicts celebrated 18th-century actor John Henderson in one of his signature Shakespearean roles. Henderson established his reputation through performances of Hamlet, Macbeth and other tragic characters before making his London debut in 1777 and later emerging as one of the capital’s leadin ...

Claude Monet, Poplars on the banks of the Epte, 1891. Tate.
LONDON.- In 2027, Tate Modern will present its first ever exhibition focusing on the work of Claude Monet (1840-1926). Staged 100 years after the artist’s death and featuring more than 60 paintings, it will be the UK’s largest presentation of Monet’s work in nearly a decade, offering a chance to revisit the life and legacy of a master of impressionism through the lens of time, tracing his lifelong entanglement with nature. Spanning 60 years of Monet’s career, from the 1870s to the 1920s, the exhibition will focus on his exploration of the passing of time as one of the defining and most profoundly beautiful achievements of modern painting. Featuring extraordinary highlights from Monet’s most famous series such as Cathédrale de Rouen, effet de soleil, fin de journée 1892, and rarely exhibited loans from private collections including Branch of the Seine near Giverny (Sunrise) 1897, the exhibition will trace Monet’s creation of a new style of painting: capturing ...

Zio Ziegler, Self Portrait: Felix Culpa, 2026. Oil and gouache on paper mounted on aluminum, 25.7 x 20.3 x 2.5 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Almine Rech New York is presenting The Tesseract, Zio Ziegler's fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from September 16 - October 21, 2026. Like Foucault’s pendulum, which moves in an ellipse as it oscillates between its outer limits, Zio Ziegler’s The Tesseract swings the viewer in whirling, elliptical fashion from one aesthetic mode to another. From the thickly patterned world of his monumental and maximalist pictures, to the exploratory mark making of his skeletal monochrome canvases. And from the visceral and layered forms of his so-called “Essential Figures,” to his similarly totemic three-dimensional figures whose dynamism he has stilled in bronze. Four modes, four artistic voices, four variations on a theme, each one giving rise to— yet also putting a kind of gravitational pressure on—the next. What holds the center in Ziegler’s vibrant pictorial system, however, is not a single point ... More

HONG KONG.- In celebration of its 40th Anniversary in Asia, Christie's announces Through the Master's Eye: David Hockney & Wu Guanzhong, an unprecedented exhibition in Hong Kong that brings together works by two of the most influential artists of the 20th century for the first time. Open to the public from 22-29 September at Christie's Asia Pacific headquarters at The Henderson, this landmark presentation will be on view alongside the Hong Kong Autumn 20th/21st Century Preview and Sales. Celebrating the enduring legacy of David Hockney, Through the Master's Eye places his work in direct dialogue with that of Chinese Modern pioneer Wu Guanzhong, revealing striking parallels in their artistic journeys and approaches.

Dorothea Rockburne, 2, 4, 6, 8, 1969-70. Graphite on brown paper, 96 x 72 inches.
SANTA MONICA, CA.- Marc Selwyn Fine Art presents Dorothea Rockburne. Spanning more than fifty years, the exhibition traces the evolution of a practice in which mathematics and material are inseparable. For Rockburne, an artwork is not an illustration of a predetermined idea; its form emerges through the physical actions of folding, cutting, layering, marking, and measuring. Rockburne’s distinctive approach emerged during her studies at Black Mountain College from 1950 to 1954. There, the mathematician Max Dehn introduced her to topology, geometry, and mathematical structures found in nature. These ideas became enduring foundations of her work, informing an approach to abstraction in which paper, linen, vellum, and industrial materials function as active elements rather than neutral supports. The exhibition contains a significant group of works from the late 1960s and early 1970s. In graphite-and-kraft-paper constructions such as 2, 4, 6, 8 (1969–70) and Drop/Fold (1969), Rockburne transforms or ... More
Georg Pencz, Portrait of Sigismund Baldinger. Estimate: $8–12 million. Courtesy Sotheby's.
NEW YORK, NY.- Beginning this November, Sotheby’s will offer some 50 works from the exceptional collection of Richard (“Dick”) and the late Elizabeth (“Betty”) Hedreen. Devoted philanthropists, active supporters of their native Seattle and Washington State, and passionate collectors for six decades, the Hedreens can rightly be considered pioneers, who were among the very first to place considerable emphasis on the visual and intellectual dialogues inherent in juxtaposing art from across the ages, assembling a collection that spans the 15th century to the present day. Highlights to be offered at Sotheby’s include major paintings by Roy Lichtenstein, Cecily Brown and more, together with a moving Mater Dolorosa by Titian, a striking Northern Renaissance portrait by Georg Pencz, a Baroque masterpiece by Bartolomeo Cavarozzi, and other Old Master Paintings by Gaetano Gandolfi and more. These will be offered alongside a broad range of other works in a variety of media, across ... More
BRUSSELS.- Maruani Mercier announced the representation of the Estate of Hermann Nitsch. The gallery’s relationship with Nitsch’s work has developed over a number of years, including two major surveys of his practice. One of the most important artists of the post-war period, Nitsch was a central figure in Viennese Actionism in the 1960s, developing a radical interdisciplinary practice that spanned painting, performance, music and theatre. Emerging in the charged cultural landscape of post-war Austria, his work confronted conventional social structures through its intense physicality and vigour. Drawing on the Wagnerian idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk, Nitsch sought to create works capable of engaging the full range of human experience. This ambition found its fullest expression in the Orgien Mysterien Theater (Orgies Mysteries Theatre), his lifelong project in which painting, music and action were brought together as a total work of art, dissolving established ...

Daido Moriyama, Tokyo, 2001. Silkscreen on canvas. Printed 2013. 59 x 38 1/2 in. (149.8 x 97.7 cm.).
LONDON.- America’s postwar occupation of Japan and subsequent global cultural hegemony seriously inflected Moriyama’s subject matter. The artist started his freelance photographic career in 1964, the same year that Tokyo hosted the Olympics. In order to prepare for the event, old neighbourhoods were torn down and large concrete expressways and neon-lit commercial districts were erected, rapidly setting the city on a path hurtling toward hyper-capitalism and Western influence. In response, Moriyama’s work centres on the movement, immediacy, transience and frenetic energy of daily life in this evolving metropolis. Images of laundry drying, scenes through the windows of speeding cars and people walking down teeming streets heighten the impermanence of reality and the new brutal pace of life. In addition to the practice of silkscreen printing, Warhol’s preoccupation with ideas of celebrating the ... More
LONDON.- As Abu Dhabi enters a season marked by major cultural milestones, Christie's announces MAWASIM: 20 Years of Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art, a live auction taking place on 1 November 2026 at The Abu Dhabi EDITION. The occasion marks 20 years since Christie's landmark UAE debut in 2006, when it became the first international auction house to hold a sale in the region, and this will be the first auction of fine art to be held by Christie's in Abu Dhabi. The title MAWASIM, meaning 'seasons' in Arabic, marks a new season for Christie's in the Middle East, while reflecting on the evolution of the category over the past two decades and the vibrant ecosystem of artists, collectors, galleries and institutions that continues to shape the region's artistic future. Bringing together over 70 works spanning more than six decades, this unique anniversary auction celebrates the richness, diversity and dynamism of art ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- It was fireworks at Christie's storied Rockefeller Center saleroom as one of the world's greatest collections of works by the master printmaker Hiroshige rocketed past its total estimate, lighting up the market with shimmering prices. Hiroshige: Colors of the Four Seasons | The Alan Medaugh Collection totaled $6,991,616. All 181 lots sold. The total hammer plus premium was 4.6 times the low estimate. It took the American businessman Alan Medaugh half a century to assemble his collection of prints, fans, scrolls, and other works by the titan of Japanese art, Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), and it took less than six hours of competitive bidding for the market to affirm Mr. Medaugh's achievement, snapping up Christie's first offering of works from the Medaugh collection at notable prices. (Two more sales from this collection are planned.) The overwhelming majority of lots in the sale sold for many times ... More
Gene Colan and Johnny Craig Iron Man #1 Splash Page 1 Original Art (Marvel, 1968).
DALLAS, TX.- Gene Colan and Johnny Craig’s original opening splash page of Iron Man No. 1 from May 1968 marks a historic moment for Marvel Comics, the beginning of the title series of what is now one of the most popular heroes in all of pop culture and arguably the heart, wounded though it may be, of the Avengers franchise. The original art for the page is a featured lot in Heritage’s Sept. 25–27 Comic Art Signature® Auction, part of a four-day event along with the overlapping Sept. 24–26 Comic Books Signature® Auction — and its consignor has been behind a few historic moments for Marvel himself. David Maisel is the Founding Chairman of Marvel Studios and was crucial in the development of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its launch in 2008 with Iron Man. The decision to kick off the MCU with a hero of middling popularity was partly driven by his own lifelong fandom and partly by his confidence that a fascinating character like Tony Stark would resonate with a ...

Elizabeth Catlett, I am the Black Woman, the complete set of 14 linoleum cuts, 1946-47. Estimate: $120,000 to $180,000.
NEW YORK, NY.- This fall marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of the African American Art department at Swann Auction Galleries. The Thursday, October 1 auction will highlight a rich diversity of artists whose auction market was established by this trailblazing department. Leading the sale is Elizabeth Catlett's important I Am the Black Woman, a complete set of 14 linoleum cuts (with three printed in color), 1946–47 ($120,000-180,000). These prints were first shown in the artist's first solo exhibition at the Barnett-Aden Gallery. Each print in this set, printed in 1989, is numbered 9/20.

Kiasma announces the most comprehensive exhibition to date in the Nordic countries by Antony Gormley HELSINKI.- The human body and its relationship to space have been central to Antony Gormley’s practice throughout his long career. Hold explores the way the body conforms to the constraints of architecture, how imagination or perception can extend the body’s limits, and whether art can challenge the authority of architecture. Hold animates the unique spaces of Steven Holl’s Kiasma by including whole room installations and individual sculptures that exist between the condition of architecture and the body. A series of Body Buildings constructed entirely of cardboard invite visitors to crawl their way through while other works like Clearing and Run prompt them to bow down, step over, or circle around them. Light, a fundamental element of Holl’s original vision for Kiasma, also plays a central role in Gormley’s exhibition with natural light flooding the galleries through ... More
Imelda Cajipe Endaya named National Artist of the Philippines MANILA.- Silverlens announced Imelda Cajipe Endaya (b. 1949, Manila) on being conferred the Order of National Artists of the Philippines for Visual Arts, the country’s highest state honor for the arts.

Rare Kamigata prints to bring Japan's 'floating world' to AGSA in 2027 ADELAIDE.- The Art Gallery of South Australia will present Floating Worlds: Prints from Osaka & Kyoto from 30 January 2027, the first exhibition in Australia to explore the unique woodblock print culture that emerged in Japan’s historical Kamigata region of Osaka and Kyoto during the Edo period (1603-1868). Through striking images of Kabuki actors, celebrated beauties, the supernatural, sumo wrestlers and sweeping landscapes, alongside dramatic examples of samurai armour and finely crafted kimonos, the exhibition will showcase the ‘floating worlds’ of theatre, beauty, fashion and entertainment that dominated the vibrant urban centres of Osaka and Kyoto. Revealing the artistic innovation, sophistication and vitality of Kamigata print culture, Floating Worlds will feature works by more than ninety woodblock print artists rarely seen in Australia. ...

Clare Hu, Tianyi Sun, and Shaan Ken Rao highlight residency at Eli Klein Gallery NEW YORK, NY.- Eli Klein Gallery presents Best by 07/21/2026, the culminating exhibition of its 2026 residency-then-exhibition program featuring artists Clare Hu, Tianyi Sun, and Shaan Ken Rao. The exhibition showcases new bodies of work conceptualized and executed by the three artists throughout the residency, representing not only their most updated artistic experiments, but more importantly, their developing throughlines that are pronounced by a recursive language which takes pride in its formation process-a journey filled with erroneous grammar, unconscious gibberish, and deliberate muting. Inspired by product packaging, the residency-then-exhibition, by title, expired on its opening day (July 21, 2026), which questions the standardized procedure of contemporary art production. One-dimensional and teleological, the “produce, select, and present” model ... More
Wilding Cran Gallery presents Desert Lenses by Ry Rocklen LOS ANGELES, CA.- Wilding Cran Gallery is presenting Desert Lenses, an exhibition of new work by Ry Rocklen, on view September 12 through October 24, 2026. Ry Rocklen has spent more than two decades making ordinary objects—rocking chairs, drying racks, abandoned cars, shopping carts—behave unexpectedly. In Desert Lenses, these familiar forms become uncanny vantages for surveilling the high desert around his home in Joshua Tree. Rather than simply depicting the wilderness, however, Rocklen folds these objects through a looking glass and back into themselves. Using photography, mold-making, and glaze decals, he turns each form into a kind of container or frame, its surface carrying an image of the desert it inhabits. Part sculpture, part landscape, part optical illusion, Rocklen forces these objects to look at the unvarnished realities ... More
The Metropolitan Museum of Art breaks ground on new Wing for Modern and Contemporary Art NEW YORK, NY.- The Metropolitan Museum of Art formally broke ground today on the Oscar L. Tang and H.M. Agnes Hsu-Tang Wing. Designed by Frida Escobedo, the first woman to design a wing in the Museum’s 156-year history, the project will create a dynamic new home for The Met’s distinguished collection of modern and contemporary art. The Tang Wing will include 69,500 square feet of exhibition space, a nearly 50 percent increase from the Museum’s current wing. Remaining within the existing building’s footprint, the 126,000-square-foot redesigned wing will also include critical advances in accessibility, infrastructure, and sustainability and foster seamless connections with the rest of the Museum’s art holdings. The Tang Wing is expected to open in 2030. "Today's groundbreaking marks a major milestone for The Met and for New York City," ... More
Kristy Luck debuts new atmospheric paintings with parrasch heijnen at The Armory Show NEW YORK, NY.- parrasch heijnen will participate in The Armory Show 2026 with a solo presentation of new works by Los Angeles-based artist Kristy Luck (b. 1985, Woodstock, IL). Luck’s atmospheric palettes and blurred horizons are composed of organic forms that emerge and recede, producing oscillations between figure and ground. This presentation emerges from the artist’s approach to painting as both affective and conceptual, their subject matter a dialogue on place, specifically between Illinois, where Luck grew up, and Los Angeles where they now live and work. The artist considers the concept of home as accumulation and reconciliation, the embodied residue of a site quietly present in one’s identity. Within visual reverberations of a once inhabited or imagined place, Luck constructs a visual language of signifiers. Their mother’s bracelet, ... More
Whyte's announces auction of Irish & International Art DUBLIN.- Whyte’s auction of Irish & International Art promises to deliver another exciting opportunity for collectors to acquire rare artworks of outstanding quality and enduring value. On Monday 28 September 2026 the auction has 156 lots of Important art valued at €1.7 million. Mainie Jellett’s masterpiece Nude by the Sea (lot 43, €90,000-€120,000) features on the cover of the auction catalogue. It is part of the small body of work Jellett made from 1939-1943 that is rightly seen as the consolidation of many of the ideas she had grappled with throughout the previous two decades. Landscapes and 'nude studies' would appear regularly in Jellett's various solo shows and in her submissions to group exhibitions throughout the 1930s and into the 1940s. As an image of potent sensuality, it offers a striking rebuff to the various religious and nationalist tropes of femininity ... More
