NEW YORK, NY.- Christie's announced Masterpieces: The Private Collection of S.I. Newhouse, a seminal group of 16 works that will be offered in a single-owner sale headlining Spring Marquee Week in New York. The works are from the personal collection of S.I. Newhouse, among the most historically significant collectors of all time, and are anchored by two exceedingly rare works: a painting by Jackson Pollock and a sculpture by Constantin Brancusi, with 14 additional masterpiece artworks by cross-generational icons including Francis Bacon, Jasper Johns, Henri Matisse, Joan Miro, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol.

PARIS.- Nicknamed 'Beautiful Martin' by Albrecht Dürer, Martin Schongauer (Colmar, about 1445–Alt-Breisach, 1491) was a prodigious painter, draughtsman and engraver who remains relatively unknown outside of a small circle of experts and enthusiasts. He was, however, one of the most popular artists of the late Middle Ages – and one of the major figures of this period. The exhibition brings together a hundred-some pieces to highlight Schongauer's body of work and his legacy beyond borders and time. It presents a few of his rare drawings, a wide selection of the engravings that made him famous throughout Europe and, for the first time, a near-complete collection of the paintings (altarpieces and easel paintings) thought to be by his hand, including the exceptional 1473 Madonna of the Rose Bower, his only painting on panel whose date of creation is known. The exhibition is structured in two major chapters, the first retracing Martin Schongauer's life and career, and the second e ... More
Matthew Weinstein, Thru The Dunes At Dusk, 2025 Oil on linen, 16 x 20 inches (40.6 x 50.8 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- This is why true beauty never strikes us directly. The setting sun is beautiful because of all it makes us lose --- Antonin Artaud. The Theater and its Double. 1938 In his most recent paintings of suns, Matthew Weinstein creates phenomena born out of an undifferentiated pool of memory. The titles are place names, yet they are only footholds within the uncertainty of recall. The sun cannot be remembered, because it is pure heat, vitality, and danger. We cannot make it our own. We cannot even look at it. This is its beauty. Discrete strokes of oil paint form loose horizontal lines that allow the linen and pencil marks to show through. These strokes produce glowing bands of tinted atmosphere and waves of heat. The surfaces can be read as dismantlings of continuous images, or interrupted realizations of them. In the upper center of each painting is a schematized image of the sun composed of diminishing rings of brushstrokes. The suns are ... More
Breda Lynch, MUCK SAUCE, rysunek z serii Swamp Drawings, A4, 2026.
WARSAW.- Neither Water Nor Land begins in a place where time does not advance in a straight line. It settles. It thickens. It lingers underfoot. In peatlands, low oxygen and acidic water slow decay to an almost improbable degree—bodies, fabrics, seeds and wooden tools can endure for millennia. What was meant to vanish, instead persists. The bog becomes an unintended archive, holding stories that societies would rather discard and suspending them in a damp, uneasy present. What are known as “bog bodies”, lifted out of the peat, often bear traces of ritual violence. Their composure can deceive: beneath the smooth surface lie wounds, ropes and fractures. At a certain point, the swamp ceases to be landscape and becomes a question about order and the cost of maintaining it. Who was sacrificed? Why that person? And yet wetlands have also served another purpose. For centuries, they have been refuges—hiding places for deserters, partisans, ... More
Vasily Kandinsky Dominant Curve, April 1936. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York.
VENICE.- From April 25 through October 19, 2026, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection presents Peggy Guggenheim in London: The Making of a Collector, the first large-scale museum exhibition dedicated to Peggy Guggenheim’s years in London and her first gallery, Guggenheim Jeune, active at 30 Cork Street from 1938 to 1939. Organized by Gražina Subelytė, Curator, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and Simon Grant, Guest Curator, the show casts a spotlight on a key chapter in Guggenheim’s life, which defined her future as a collector and patron of twentieth-century art. Guggenheim Jeune played a crucial role in shaping the artistic landscape of prewar Britain by increasing the visibility and acceptance of contemporary art at a time when institutions in London were still largely conservative. Alongside galleries such as the Redfern Gallery, the Mayor Gallery, and the London Gallery, it challenged established norms ... More
Elizabeth Hawes, 1946.
CINCINNATI, OH.- If fashion had a crystal ball, Elizabeth Hawes would have owned it. Elizabeth Hawes: Radical American Fashion tells the story of one of the women who helped shape a distinctly American identity in fashion design and personal expression. The exhibition, opening April 24, features more than 50 garments made between the 1920s and 1960s, alongside original sketches and illustrations. The exhibition is accompanied by the first publication devoted entirely to Hawes’s career. Hawes (American, 1903–1971) was a radical designer, author and social commentator whose ideas were consistently far ahead of her time. This exhibition marks the first major museum presentation of Hawes’s long overlooked work, tracing her early design methods, the evolution of her career and her lasting influence on American fashion. Longtime Cincinnati Art Museum Curator of Fashion Arts and Textiles, Cynthia Amn?us, curated this exhibition and wrote for and edited the accompanying catalogue before her reti ... More
JYVÄSKYLÄ.- In April, 13 Stories about Humane Design opens in the Aalto2 Museum Centre Gallery. The exhibition stages an intriguing dialogue between Aalto’s designs and fictional users’ experiences. What does a new home look like through the eyes of a child? What does it sound like when architecture resonates? How does a hospital building boost patients’ sense of community? The exhibition seeks new approaches to architecture – and, above all, it views Alvar Aalto’s buildings from a humane perspective. The Alvar Aalto Museum has invited writer Sanna Puutonen to empathise with Aalto’s buildings via the experiences of their users: the result is thirteen fictional stories. The stories are snapshots that bring the buildings to life. They add a human layer to the architecture, the main character in and around the built space can be someone settling into a house, sensing its atmospheres or, for instance, watching the play of light on the surfaces of its different materials. ...

Kathy Prendergast, Red Vein 2025. Branch, gouache and watercolour on printed paper in two parts, branch 300 x 100 x 35, paper 61.7 x 91.5 cm.
DUBLIN.- Kerlin Gallery presents Stasis Field, an exhibition of sculpture, work on paper and installation by Kathy Prendergast. Stasis Field features a selection of sculpture, work on paper and installation, offering an intimate experience that intertwines memory, transformation, and the passage of time. Prendergast uses an array of textile, chalk, stone, fabric, wool and found objects to create art that resonates on both personal and universal levels. Since the beginning of her career, maps have been a core element of Prendergast’s practice. Reimagining maps through artistic intervention, Prendergast subverts historic symbols of power, identity and exploration, creating works that reflect more personal and emotional narratives. Included in Stasis Field are hand-coloured works which invite viewers to reflect on human connections to land, borders, and the histories they carry. Pigmented chalk, gouache and watercolour create a saturated geological installation, merging hand sculpted objects ... More
The Ocean Dream, a triangular cut fancy vivid blue-green diamond of 5.50 carats, estimate CHF7,000,000-10,000,000.
GENEVA.- Christie's announces The Ocean Dream, the largest fancy vivid blue-green diamond known to exist and certified by the GIA since the organisation's founding in 1931. Weighing 5.50 carats, the exceptional diamond is fashioned in a striking triangular shape and was extracted from a rough found in Central Africa in the 1990s that weighed 11.70 carat. A stone of this colour and size is extremely scarce, and adding to its rarity the diamond is type Ia, amongst the purest of natural gems. The Ocean Dream will be offered on 13 May 2026 during the Magnificent Jewels auction, to be held at the Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues in Geneva, with an estimate of CHF7,000,000 to 10,000,000. Max Fawcett, Global Head of Christie's Jewellery, commented: “The Ocean Dream is a gemstone of rare distinction, returning to auction for only the second time in its history. Celebrated by the Smithsonian Institution as one of the eight rarest diamonds in the world, it stands as the largest ... More

THE HAGUE.- A feast for your eyes and ears! Starting this spring, Kunstmuseum Den Haag plans to make some noise. To mark the 200th anniversary of the Royal Conservatoire, the worlds of visual art and music will be brought together in the exhibition Base Line – Music Meets Art. For the first time in a long while, Kunstmuseum will display a portion of its remarkable collection of musical instruments – and share their sounds. There will be Japanese prints depicting people making music, forgotten female composers will be returned to the spotlight, the audience will be able to smell and feel sounds and the museum will reveal how modern artists were influenced by music. In an exciting programme of public events, various musicians and communities from The Hague will also join the chorus, as it were, contributing to an exhibition that transcends borders and eras. For the first time in decades, Kunstmuseum Den Haag will display a portion of its remarkable collection of thousands of musical instru ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Gagosian announces a significant presentation of key works by Marcel Duchamp to inaugurate the gallery’s new ground-floor space in the historic building at 980 Madison Avenue. The exhibition, opening on April 25, 2026, brings a selection of works—including all of the artist’s most iconic readymades—back to the location where these editions made their American debut in a 1965 exhibition at Cordier & Ekstrom Gallery. It also coincides with Duchamp’s first retrospective in the United States since 1973, which is on view at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, until August 22. “It all started with Duchamp, I couldn’t imagine a better artist or a more critical body of work to be the first exhibited in our new gallery at 980 Madison, a building he showed in just over sixty years ago.” —Larry ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Gagosian announces an exhibition of six important early works by Robert Rauschenberg from the Cy Twombly Foundation. Organized during the centennial of Rauschenberg’s birth, this presentation accompanies the exhibition of works by Marcel Duchamp that will inaugurate the gallery’s new ground-floor space in the historic building at 980 Madison Avenue, with both opening on April 25. Rauschenberg and Twombly met in 1951 at the Art Students League of New York and subsequently attended Black Mountain College near Asheville, North Carolina, before traveling together throughout Italy, Morocco, and Spain in 1952 and 1953. Key milestones of Rauschenberg’s early development, the works from Twombly’s collection on view are especially significant given the close friendship and substantial exchanges of ... More
Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Jeune fille assise tenant une rose.
NEW YORK, NY.- Christie's announced the Rabb Goldberg Collection, assembled over two generations by the prestigious New England family. The collection finds its roots in the 1960s when Sidney and Esther Rabb acquired gems of French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art, with their daughter Carol and her husband, Avram Goldberg, following in their collecting tradition with a focus on contemporary art. The group includes works by masters including Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Edouard Vuillard as well as post-war examples by Alexander Calder, Lynn Chadwick, Louise Nevelson and more. The collection is led by Quatre danseuses, an exquisite pastel by Degas which will be featured in the 20th Century Evening Sale (estimate: $5 – 7 million). An exceptional, large-scale example of the artist's iconic dancers posed in the wings of the Paris Opéra, the composition employs radiant color and innovative pastel application.

Michael Kenna: British master of mystery unveils the 'invisible' secrets of Italian confessionals LA JOLLA, CA.- Joseph Bellows Gallery presents Confessionali by renowned British photographer Michael Kenna. In 2007, Michael Kenna visited the Chiesa di Santo Stefano in Reggio Emilia and began a series of photographs that initiated a focused, contemplative body of work on confessionals, fixed wooden booths inside a Catholic church, designed specifically for the sacrament of confession. In Italian churches, confessionals are often more decorative than in many other countries, reflecting local craftsmanship and the importance of visual beauty in church interiors. Returning to Reggio Emilia in the years that followed, Kenna developed this series between 2007 and 2016. Produced exclusively within the region, the photographs share the varied architectural forms of confessionals, reflecting his engagement with these intimate and symbolic spaces. ... More
Peter McDonald: New wall paintings explore the 'joyful consciousness' of the artist's studio LONDON.- Kate MacGarry is presenting a solo exhibition of new works by Peter McDonald. Featuring wall paintings that extend across the gallery, the works bring to the fore the artist’s studio and the acts of painting and looking. McDonald reflects on the nature of creativity, while playfully reconfiguring pictorial space. Celebrating often overlooked, everyday experiences, the ballooning and overlapping heads of McDonald’s figures suggest a joyful, communal consciousness. While some works move towards complete abstraction, these are mediated by the paintings-within-paintings that allow him greater freedom to explore abstract mark-making. Heightened by his use of bright colour, the works traverse the boundaries between genres. Over more than two decades, McDonald has developed a distinct painting language that remains remarkably consistent while continuing to expand ... More
Alison Elizabeth Taylor brings hybrid marquetry paintings to the West Coast SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Jessica Silverman presents “I’ll Be Your Mirror,” Alison Elizabeth Taylor’s first solo exhibition on the West Coast, running from April 24 to May 30, 2026. Featuring new wood inlay paintings and multimedia works on paper, the exhibition explores young women’s social worlds, particularly moments when performance and vulnerability collide. In these works, Taylor captures buoyant, charged atmospheres—fleeting instances of laughter and liberation. Taylor is a virtuoso with wood. Adapting marquetry techniques, she expands the traditions of wood veneer inlay by combining it with oil painting and collaged materials such as vibrantly pigmented sawdust to create a unique hybrid art form. She first began experimenting with cut wood while studying painting at Columbia University, New York. In 2009, she received a Smithsonian Artist Research ... More
Whispers of the Unseen: How three Macau artists explore the liminal and the mythic NEW YORK, NY.- Alisan Fine Arts is presenting Whispers of the Unseen: In Resonance. The exhibition features the work of three Macau-born artists—WONG Weng Cheong, Rusty Fox, and Heidi LAU. Though their practices span printmaking, photography, and ceramic sculpture, they share a quiet sensibility that whispers rather than declares. Belonging to the same generation and shaped by similar cultural landscapes, their artistic languages diverge, yet the spiritual undercurrents of their works resonate within a shared field. WONG Weng Cheong, widely recognized for his large-scale digital installations, is represented here by an earlier body of traditional copperplate etchings. These works possess a markedly introspective tone, unfolding like a series of epistolary poems addressed to his younger self. Originally conceived digitally and later translated onto copper plates, ... More
Jesse Darling: Turner prize winner brings first Dutch solo show to Amsterdam's Oude Kerk AMSTERDAM.- Visitors of the Oude Kerk will step directly into the work of Jesse Darling. The British artist won the prestigious Turner Prize in 2023 and is considered one of the most influential artists of the moment. With his installation Godsworth, Darling transforms the church space into a landscape constructed from construction debris, scrap metal, and other materials collected from Amsterdam. It is Jesse Darling’s first solo exhibition in the Netherlands and runs until September 27. The church floor is largely covered with rubble from construction waste. Playful sculptures rise from the landscape, assembled by Darling from discarded furniture, scrap metal, and broken appliances. The material originates from Amsterdam and was partly collected by Darling himself. By using everyday waste and rubble, Darling emphasizes the often messy reality of human existence ... More
Touch, climb, run: Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen invites children to enter the art DUSSELDORF.- The exhibition “Playground” invites children to touch, climb, run, and let their imaginations run wild—in a dreamlike landscape that seems to be from another world. The artist Sonia Kazovsky created this accessible artwork specifically for K20’s largest exhibition hall, where play becomes an artistic, sensory, and communal experience. In “Playground,” children and their companions can slip into different roles with special props and costumes, roll down a large desert hill, gather around a campfire, or swing on an imaginatively designed streetlamp. “Playground” aims to reach a younger, diverse audience beyond the traditional art-going public and to spark children’s curiosity about modern and contemporary art. Under the direction of Susanne Gaensheimer, the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein Westfalen aims to open its buildings, exhibition program, collection, and ... More
George Morrison's 'Palisade' anchors Heritage's May 7 Modern & Contemporary Art Auction DALLAS, TX.- A defining work by George Morrison leads Heritage's May 7 Modern & Contemporary Art Signature®Auction, a focused 76-lot sale that brings together a global survey of postwar and contemporary art, with particular strength in abstraction. Morrison's Palisade (1958) arrives at a moment of heightened attention for the Ojibwe artist, whose contributions to postwar abstraction are increasingly being recognized alongside those of his New York contemporaries. Long supported by a knowledgeable base of collectors, Morrison's market has gained new visibility as institutional recognition expands — a shift underscored by the current exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art examining his early years in New York. "Collectors are starting to respond to Morrison in a way that reflects his true place within the story of postwar American ... More

Gainsborough, Turner and Constable: Rare private collections to anchor major 250th anniversary show SUDBURY.- For the 250th anniversary of John Constable’s birth, Gainsborough’s House, situated at the heart of the Stour Valley in Suffolk, will celebrate with a rich programme of landscape exhibitions. The area, characterised by the River Stour, is famously the birthplace and inspiration of two of Britain’s most influential landscape painters, Thomas Gainsborough (1727-88) and John Constable (1776-1837). An exhibition featuring both these artists, and others - notably JMW Turner (1775-1851)- will be held alongside two exhibitions of contemporary art, showing how their influence is still felt by artists today. For Constable 250 the main exhibition at Gainsborough’s House will explore the emergence of landscape painting in Britain as led by three of its greatest exponents: Thomas Gainsborough (1727-88), JMW Turner (1775-1851) and John Constable ...
