BRUSSELS.- John Baldessari (California, 1931–2020) was a giant of contemporary art, whose codes turned artistic conventions upside down. Baldessari wittily combined text, photography, and painting to challenge the traditional boundaries of art. He was a master of appropriation and collage, drawing on popular culture — frequently from films, television, press clippings, and other appropriated images — to create a new visual language that was irreverent and playful. From 19 September 2025 to 1 February 2026, Bozar presents the first major European exhibition dedicated to his work since his death in 2020. Occupying the 1,000 m2 of the Ravenstein galleries in the Centre for Fine Arts of Brussels, the exhibition features over 60 works, many of them monumental. Photographs, paintings, installations, videos, and wallpaper will be on display, some for the very first time in Europe. The ... More
Lucio Fontana, La Fine di Dio, 1963-64. Oil, gashes, holes, and graffiti on canvas, 178 × 123 cm (70 × 48.43 in).
MILAN.- Thaddaeus Ropac Milan will open on 20 September 2025 with an exhibition of works by Georg Baselitz and Lucio Fontana, retracing Baselitz’s longstanding and ongoing engagement with the work of the Argentine-Italian master. Entitled L’aurora viene, the Milan gallery’s inaugural exhibition pairs the two artists in dialogue in a two- person presentation for the first time, and encompasses paintings and sculptures by Baselitz spanning the past decade, as well as works by Fontana from the 1930s to the 1960s, including the loan of a nucleus of works from the Fondazione Lucio Fontana. Though the two artists never met, Fontana has played an important role in the work of Baselitz. Baselitz has a studio in Italy, and Fontana lived and worked for most of his life in Milan, where the first exhibition of his works was held in 1931. The exhibited works by Baselitz include a new monumental bronze sculpture and recent paintings with empty, unlit centres or suspended figures ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- This fall, The Metropolitan Museum of Art will present Witnessing Humanity: The Art of John Wilson, the largest exhibition of this artist’s work and his first solo museum show in New York. For over six decades, American artist John Wilson (1922–2015) made powerful and poetic works that reflected his life as a Black American artist and his ongoing quest for racial, social, and economic justice. His art responded to the turbulent times in which he lived, with a focus on such subjects as racial violence, labor, the writings of Richard Wright, the Civil Rights Movement, and street scenes, and also captured intimate images of family life, with a particular focus on fatherhood. Drawing from the collections of The Met, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and a dozen other lenders, this exhibition will feature over 100 artworks made over the course of Wilson’s career, including paintings, prints, drawings, and ...

BERLIN.- Last Sunday, September 14, 2025, the 13th Berlin Biennale drew to a close with over 130,000 visitors. Under the title passing the fugitive on, the exhibition showed over 170 works by more than 60 artists at four venues in Berlin. A majority of these works were commissioned for the Berlin Biennale. The venues included the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, the Sophiensæle, the Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, and the former Courthouse Lehrter Straße. The title of the exhibition alludes to art’s ability to define its own laws in the face of legislative violence in unjust systems, the artist’s capacity for clarity of gesture and action in their own historical condition, and to pass these on. The 13th Berlin Biennale has grounded the former Courthouse Lehrter Straße as a site for artistic production. This historic building—where Karl Liebknecht was put on trial in 1916—became the setting for works ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Christie's presents a special, single-lot sale of a landmark document in American history: Muhammad Ali's draft card, issued the day the Louisville, Kentucky Draft Board ordered him to appear for induction; signed by J. Allen Sherman, Chairman of the local Draft Board; and pointedly not signed by Muhammad Ali. The sale will take place online from 10 to 28 October 2025, with an extended viewing at Rockefeller Center from 18 September to 28 October. Rasheda Ali Walsh, a daughter of Muhammad Ali, said: “Being reminded of my father's message of courage and conviction is more important now than ever, and the sale of his draft card at Christie's is a powerful way to share that legacy with the world.” This card – which Ali would have carried with him for years as required by law – comes from his descendants, and is an artifact of a pivotal historic moment. Ali's refusal, in April of 1967, to be inducted into the United States Army reverberated throughout the ... More
RM Sotheby’s flagship UK auction heads to The Peninsula London on 1 November, returning to the luxury five-star Belgravia hotel for the second successive year
LONDON.- RM Sotheby’s flagship London auction will return on 1 November 2025, once again taking up its traditional position on the eve of the RM Sotheby’s London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. Following the runaway success of last year’s £18-million sale, the auction will be held for a second successive year at The Peninsula London in Belgravia, a much-anticipated temporary residence at what has quickly established itself as the most luxurious and glamorous five-star destinations in the city. This year’s sale is expected to be bigger and better than ever before, underpinned by several high-profile consignments in recent weeks including a brace of spectacular pre-war Alfa Romeos representing two of the Milanese firm’s most successful and sought-after collector models, each to be offered at entirely no reserve. The 8C 2900 is not just the most important model in Alfa Romeo’s ... More
LeRone Wilson, Anointed Spdt, 2025, Beeswax and pigment powder on panel, 24x24 inches.
NEW YORK, NY.- Skoto Gallery is presenting LeRone Wilson: The Stars of the Universe, a solo exhibition of recent works by the American sculptor, LeRone Wilson. This is his first solo presentation at the gallery. For over three decades, LeRone Wilson has dedicated his practice to exploring the artistic potential of beeswax, a medium renowned for its versatility, depth, and unique textural qualities, and notably used by ancient Kemetic civilizations in their art. A prolific artist, Wilson masterfully blends nature and imagination demonstrating a profound sensitivity to texture, a deep understanding of tonality and color, and an inimitable ability to create cohesive and vigorous bodies of work that reflect intense contemplation. Wilson’s wall sculptures are built through an iterative process, as he delves into an independent system of artmaking and design principles. His approach consciously balances material, color, form, and technique. Through years of refining his encaustic technique, he has pro ... More
Installation views. Peggy Chiang, barn burner at Adams and Ollman.
PORTLAND, ORE.- Adams and Ollman is presenting barn burner, Brooklyn-based artist Peggy Chiang's first solo show on the West Coast of the United States. The exhibition is comprised of discrete objects that explore a distinctly American narrative. Using oil, wire hangers, bandsaw blades, shirt collars, roll-up gates and bone, the artist suggests a violence that is omnipresent in American identity and engenders a resonance that echoes out from the four walls of the gallery into the architecture, structures and systems that make up modern life. The exhibition will be on view through October 25, 2025. Chiang's mise-en-scène installations agitate or provoke emotions that escape language or easy explanation. Investigating the powerful interrelationship of objects sited together and frequently animated by sound, smell, or touch, Chiang creates the conditions for a viewer to experience the work intuitively, inferring a multifarious and layered meaning. For the exhibition, Chiang ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Christie's will present David Hockney's Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy (1968) as a major highlight of the 20th Century Evening Sale taking place this November in New York.

Ana Zibelnik & Jakob Ganslmeier: Bereitschaft, 2024.
HELSINKI.- Invisible Race is a group exhibition that looks at the role of photography and visual culture in the creation of a racialized understanding of humanity, and the effects that photography has had on upholding racist societies. In recent years, racist political parties and movements have been on the rise in the Nordics, Europe and North America, making racism once again a topic of mainstream social and political discourses. However, Whiteness is still rarely part of these conversations, even though it is an ideal against which all other races are compared and which we all have internalized. In the Nordic countries, being White has been an implicit part of the national identity. It has shaped the way we look at and understand the world so much that it has become synonymous with our understanding of what it is to be human. Whiteness functions as a way to justify the uneven distribution of power and resources among people. Thus, in order to work towards a more equitable ... More

DALLAS, TX.- Many times an auction is centered around a specific era, artist or genre within a collection category. But collectors of photography know that it’s only a matter of time before finding another photographer or sub-genre to ignite that art lover’s passion. One starts fascinated by American photojournalist Alfred Eisenstaedt and then it’s a slippery slope to the studies of American life from Elliott Erwitt or portraits by Arnold Newman. Heritage’s Photographs Signature® Auction on October 3 just so happens to feature significant works by all of those artists and many other luminaries of the form. The auction presents a perfect entry point for a budding photography collector, or a necessary stop-off for an experienced one with a range of lensed interests. In the world of art collectors, Marlene Nathan Meyerson left a stunning mark. She was a Texas- ... More

Overbeck Gesellschaft presents Lotty Rosenfeld: Esta línea es mi arma LÜBECK.- Daughter, exile, feminist, urban choreographer, political activist and conceptual artist, Lotty Rosenfeld was born in Santiago de Chile in 1943, into a family marked by the experiences of expulsion, survival and resilience. Her father, Ernst Rosenfeld, left Nazi Germany in 1935, part of the early wave of Jewish refugees seeking safety in Latin America. Her grandparents, Rudolf and Charlotte Rosenfeld, who once owned the Hotel Rom in Breslau, fled to Siberia, later emigrating to Chile after the war. In exile, the Rosenfeld family rebuilt a life—and a café—in Santiago, grounded in the memories of their lives in Europe. Raised in the wake of the trauma of the Holocaust and amidst the contradictions of postwar Chile, Rosenfeld grew up to be an artist who would challenge not only dominant political systems, but also the grammar of everyday space. Her practice emerged ... More

Exhibition at Large Glass brings together the work of nine artists and photographers LONDON.- "Light Industry" brings together the work of nine artists and photographers, across generations who have worked within the theme of industry. Each of them has focused their lens on human interaction with machines or large tools, industrial areas and their architecture, building sites or labour itself and the traces of these in post-industrial landscapes from the US to Russia, to Sweden, Italy, England and Wales. Viewed collectively, "Light Industry" explores how industries, past and present, and of various scales and levels of visibility, continue to impact our bodies and shape the wider environment. Caught between excessive expansion and disappearance through decline or deliberate obscuration, the mundane, lived reality of industry in this moment, seems to have fallen out of focus or been temporarily lost from view. In turning to the overlooked and forgotten traces ... More
Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian announces opening programme of Institution(ing)s LISBON.- Occupying CAM’s Engawa Space, Institution(ing)s opens with Gall Ball, an exhibition-process by artist Francisco Trêpa, curated by the MA students in Culture Studies of The Lisbon Consortium, Universidade Católica Portuguesa. Gall Ball operates as the prologue to Institution(ing)s and encapsulates the ideas that form the project’s mission. It departs from the observation of the galls, structures that trees produce in response to external aggressions, found in the Gulbenkian Garden. These become safe havens for the insects that cause, protected from potential predators. In addition, the galls are also reused as shelter by other insects. Similar to the galls, Institution(ing)s is an organisation created in response to issues simultaneously internal and external to artistic institutions: social exclusion and inequality; environmental crisis; and economic tensions. It serves ... More
