NEW YORK, NY.- From June 12 through September 8, 2026, The Metropolitan Museum of Art is presenting Giacometti in the Temple of Dendur, a presentation that brings the work of renowned modern artist Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966) into dialogue with the Temple of Dendur, one of the Museum’s and New York City’s most iconic spaces. The exhibition, in co-organization with the Fondation Giacometti, features 17 sculptures—14 figures in bronze and plaster on loan from the Fondation Giacometti, including rarely seen painted plasters, and three from The Met collection—installed in and around the temple, highlighting the enduring impact of ancient Egyptian art on one of the defining figures of 20th-century art. Long preoccupied with how sculpture might convey solitude, vulnerability, and the persistence of the human figure, Giacometti found in ancient Egyptian art a model of formal restraint and spiritual intensity that would shape his mature work. ...

William H. Johnson (American, 1901–1970), Dr. George Washington Carver, about 1945, oil on fiberboard. All works from Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gifts of the Harmon Foundation.
DAYTON, OH.- The Dayton Art Institute presents Fighters for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice, on view June 27–September 13, 2026. Organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM), this major exhibition presents paintings from Johnson’s celebrated Fighters for Freedom series for the first time since 1946. William H. Johnson (1901–1970) painted the Fighters for Freedom series in the mid-1940s as a tribute to African American activists, scientists, educators, performers and international leaders working to advance freedom, justice and peace. It was the artist’s final major body of work and remains a powerful visual celebration of social justice in American art. “Johnson created powerful, vibrant paintings that were inspired by influential people from American history, including many who were making remarkable contributions to society in his own time,” said Jerry N. Smith, Head Curator & Curatorial Affairs Director at the DAI. “The exhibition highl ... More
Helcio Barros, Superalephonte 27 (2023 - 2025). Acrylic paint and oil stick on cardboard cutout, 87 x 48 cm | 34 1/4 x 18 7/8 in.
BERLIN.- The history of 1980s art continues to attract attention because it remains unresolved. Rather than representing a single movement or style, the decade condensed multiple artistic responses to a rapidly changing world. While Europe and North America often frame the period through debates surrounding painting and postmodernism, Brazil experienced these transformations in the context of political democratization, cultural renewal, and the emergence of new artistic freedoms. It is from this context that the work of Helcio Barros emerges. Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1956 and now based in São Paulo, Barros began his artistic practice in the early 1980s while working as a bank employee and studying film. At his desk, between professional duties, he drew whenever possible. Using graphite and oil pastel on pieces of cardboard, he developed a universe populated by abstract beings, hybrid creatures, birds, and enigmatic forms that continue to inhabit his work today. When looking back at those early ... More

ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, NY.- The Hessel Museum of Art, Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College presents three new exhibitions.. Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900–1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art. Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, ... More
SANTA ROSA, CA.- The Museum of Sonoma County announced its landmark exhibition Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Running Fence at 50 Years. From June 27 through November 8, 2026 we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the monumental temporary art installation that stretched 24.5 miles through 59 properties in Sonoma and Marin Counties to the Pacific Ocean. Originally completed in September 1976, Running Fence remains a world-famous milestone in contemporary art, and a defining moment in North Bay history. "The Running Fence was like a ribbon of light in the landscape," explained Christo in 1977. "I don't think any museum exhibition has touched so profoundly hundreds of thousands of people who visited Running Fence, in a way that half a million people in Sonoma and Marin Counties were engaged with the making of the work of art for three and a half years,” also detailed the artist. “The Fence stands out ...

Armand Seguin (1869–1903), Trees Above the Estuary, 1892. Etching and aquatint on paper, 24.6 x 21.7 cm. National Gallery of Ireland Collection. Purchased, 2024 NGI.2024.83. Photo, National Gallery of Ireland.
DUBLIN.- This summer, a special free exhibition showcasing some of the greatest European artists through their works on paper is on view at the National Gallery of Ireland. Fifty-seven works from the Gallery’s world-leading collection are on display, including drawings, prints, watercolours, pastels, photographs and miniatures. From the 15th century to the present day, the exhibition explores the work of European artists across various schools and movements, from the Italian Renaissance to German Expressionism. The exhibition highlights contributions from all corners of the continent, featuring artists hailing from Italy, Spain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Czechia, Poland, Finland, Britain, and Ireland. It also explores Irish artists who were drawn to mainland Europe for inspiration, and conversely how Ireland inspired artists of other nationalities. ... More
EDINBURGH.- British artist Anne Hardy transforms Talbot Rice Gallery’s iconic Georgian Gallery into an immersive space. Known for her pioneering approach to exhibition-making, Hardy treats the gallery as a found object, extending the influence of sculpture into the fabric of the gallery through light, sound, data and scenography, creating an active environment for a series of sculptural ‘beings’. These new figurative sculptures are formed from an accumulation of cast elements, found materials, armatures and earth drawings, creating an energetic synthesis between the fragility and resilience of the human body, evolving technologies and the remnants of everyday life. Richly detailed and charged with presence, each figure appears to have a role to play or purpose for being. At the centre of the installation a lone figure is kneeling, caught mid-gesture. She is forged from both complex sculptural processes and foraged, re-purposed materials, and is surrounded ... More
Louis Soutter, Statures d'Olympe, 1937 - 1942, Tusche auf Papier ǀ Ink on paper, 49.5 x 64.5 cm, Cat. Rais. Thévoz #2663
ST MORITZ.- Galerie Karsten Greve presents the exhibition Louis Soutter. Finger Painting 1937-1942 in St. Moritz. Thre presentation is devoted to the body of work now regarded as the culmination of his artistic career and as one of the most compelling and distinctive achievements in 20th-century art. Created during the final years of the artist's life, these works mark an extraordinary moment of artistic concentration and freedom. Louis Soutter occupies a unique position within the art of his time. To this day, his work resists any clear classification. It engages with the achievements of modernism while also becoming an important source of inspiration for Jean Dubuffet and the emerge of Art Brut. Yet Soutter remains a singular figure - too independant to be fully subsumed under any art-historical category. Louis Soutter was an exceptional creative personality - a musician, draughtsman and intellectual seeker. His work arose from a rare combination of cultural ... More
Edith Baumann, Energy Field No. 3, 2025. acrylic on canvas. 60 x 52 inches.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- parrasch heijnen is presenting Edith Baumann: Meditations, the gallery’s third exhibition with the Santa Monica-based artist (b. 1948, Ames, IA). Edith Baumann’s fifty-year career has followed an evolving language dedicated to perceptions of field and presence of hand. Her work delicately renders the interplay between structure and color, and the visual relationship between disparate, asymmetrical bodies that resonate through the physical vibrations they project. In this newest body of work, Baumann seeks to identify the intangible feeling of a space between two physical fields: the poetry between the lines. In her painting Energy Field No. 7, 2026, Baumann consciously juxtaposes two representations of time: her meditative, laborious process of painting solid swaths of color and an underlying field, and her rapid, emotional, active motion of hovering, freehand linework. The artist’s rendered veils of color are of a singular moment. They separate and converse with the rep ... More
KREMS.- Iranian-born artist Soli Kiani creates a body of work in which fabric becomes both a formative substance and a carrier of social meaning. Themes such as origin, physicality, and negotiating patriarchal structures are combined in her work with a distinctive, sculptural language. For the Dominikanerkirche Krems, she has conceived a spatial installation in which textile materials serve as the central artistic medium. Inside the church, vertical, column-like fabric sculptures made of hardened textile panels and ropes rise from simple concrete bases. They appear both architectural and corporeal, accentuating the height and strict geometry of the nave. The abstracted forms are reminiscent of textile coverings and allude to the chador—a full-length, dark, traditional Iranian cloak that functions both as a symbol of protection and constraint. The material—stiffened with acrylic medium ... More

KINDERHOOK, NY.- Jack Shainman Gallery is presenting Modus Operandi at The School, on view from May 30 through November 28, 2026. Bringing together work by nearly twenty artists across painting, sculpture, textile, photography and video, the exhibition considers method not simply as process but as a way of thinking. Its title, drawn from the Latin phrase for ‘mode of operating,’ reflects how an artist’s method becomes inseparable from meaning. Over time, recurring decisions, materials and forms of attention do more than produce an image or object. They establish a logic of their own. Modus Operandi brings together historically significant work by artists whose methods have shaped the course of their careers. Rooted in long-running conversations between Jack Shainman and Angela Westwater, the exhibition treats several works as emblematic of its core ... More
Mika Tajima.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Pace presents 37 Dimensions, an exhibition of new work by New York-based artist Mika Tajima, at its gallery in Los Angeles from June 27 through August 15. Marking Tajima’s first solo exhibition with Pace in the city of her birth, this presentation situates her latest series, titled 24 Hour Cosmos, among other recent bodies of work. Known for her artistic investigations into human regulatory and relational structures—both internal and external—Tajima’s multifaceted practice incorporates technology and data as well as traditional techniques to probe the aesthetic and perceptual complexities of contemporary life. From her early installation and performance work to more recent explorations in painting and sculpture, Tajima has developed series over the past several years that stimulate sensorial and psychic responses while activating theoretical approaches. Her work is guided ... More

New exhibitions reveal how imperfect objects and lunar fascination shape humanity SAN MARINO, CA.- In the third iteration of “Stories from the Library”, visitors will encounter rare materials from across the Huntington Library’s collections in two exhibitions that examine how people have made meaning from imperfect objects and from the moon. Presented in the Huntington Art Gallery’s Large Library and Focus Gallery, the exhibitions—“Damaged Goods” and “The Mirror of the Moon”—place well-known works in conversation with less familiar collection materials. One exhibition considers the stories revealed by damage, mistakes, and acts of erasure; the other traces the moon’s role in science, navigation, literature, art, and imagination. Together, the exhibitions show how Library collections can illuminate human experience from unexpected angles: through the marks left on the page and through centuries of looking upward. “Damaged ...

Museum Küppersmühle hosts Germany's largest Jaume Plensa sculpture retrospective in a decade DUISBURG.- The Museum Küppersmühle in Duisburg is presenting the most comprehensive solo exhibition to date of the renowned Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa. This is the first time in a decade that a German museum has dedicated such a show to him. In the exhibition, visitors can expect to see over 50 impressive sculptures, a selection of his works on paper and wall drawings created especially for the Museum Küppersmühle – a unique encounter with Plensa’s powerful poetic art. “My work always wants to build bridges, ask questions, bring beauty into people’s everyday lives; create connections between people without skin color, ideology, religion or geography playing a role.” Plensa is internationally renowned for his impressive works in public spaces, which he has been presenting on every continent for over 20 years. One of his most notable ... More
Philipp Modersohn explores the hidden life of matter at Kunstverein Springhornhof NEUENKIRCHEN.- Stones, peat, fossils and sediments take center stage in Philipp Modersohn’s exhibition at Kunstverein Springhornhof, where the Berlin-based artist invites visitors to rethink the relationship between humans, nature and the materials that shape the planet. Modersohn, born in Bremen in 1986, is known for sculptures, films and installations that question the usual hierarchy between people, animals, plants and supposedly lifeless matter. In his work, the earth is not a silent background for human activity. It is active, unstable and alive with forces of its own. Rather than simply representing natural phenomena, Modersohn often lets them participate in the making of the work. Pressure, heat, growth, erosion and decay are not only themes, but processes that help determine the final form of his sculptures and installations. His practice brings together ... More
Kunstverein München opens major summer programming featuring three distinct presentations MUNICH.- There are moments in which order appears less as a system than as a fragile agreement between things. A cat asleep on a window sill. A chair shifted slightly toward the open window. Three empty cardboard boxes that nobody remembers bringing into the room. A blanket preserving the outline of someone no longer there. For now, this is the order of things, while light continues to move through the room long after it has changed purpose. For more than four decades, Annika Eriksson has developed work attentive to the unstable arrangements through which figures inhabit space alongside one another. Her films, performances, and installations observe how gestures, habits, and routines organize forms of living together: how proximity is negotiated, how behavior adjusts itself under observation, and how invisible structures shape everyday life. In Eriksson’s ... More
Serpentine seeks Curator, Live Programmes to shape year-round events and performances LONDON.- Serpentine is seeking an experienced interdisciplinary curator to lead and develop its Live Programme, a role that will shape how audiences encounter the gallery’s exhibitions through talks, performances, screenings, participatory projects and experimental formats. The position, titled Curator, Live Programmes, is central to Serpentine’s ambition to make the gallery a site of encounter, exchange and artistic experimentation. Rather than treating live events as simply an interpretive layer around exhibitions, the role is intended to extend, interrupt and at times provoke the gallery’s curatorial vision. The successful candidate will build on Serpentine’s established live programming strands, including the annual Marathons, Park Nights, Serpentine Cinema and Study Days. Working across disciplines, the curator will be expected to bring visual art into dialogue ... More
Miles McEnery Gallery highlights Markus Linnenbrink's open-air paper compositions NEW YORK, NY.- Markus Linnenbrink’s practice on paper has remained a core element of his creative output alongside his well-known epoxy resin pieces throughout his career. We are pleased to showcase for the first time ever, a selection of these detailed paper-based compositions dating from the 1990s to early 2000s which were made au plein air in summers spent across Spain, Germany, Italy, and Greece. Inspired by the hues of the landscape of his travels across Europe, Linnenbrink’s sense of color and movement is a core aspect of these watercolors on paper. An atmosphere of airiness is produced by the delicate veils of color, and subtle natural tones, evoking a powerful feeling of capturing the moment. His unique material language emerges through balancing chance, control and the nature of the watercolor medium. Employing bleeding lines of colors ... More
Public Art Fund installs artist-designed ping-pong tables on Rockaway Beach NEW YORK, NY.- Public Art Fund announced Between Tides, a dynamic outdoor exhibition bringing together local and international contemporary artists—Moko Fukuyama, Ilana Harris-Babou, Las Hermanas Iglesias, Carlos H. Matos, Amalia Pica, and SUPERFLEX—to present newly commissioned sculptural ping-pong tables on Rockaway Beach. From June 27 through September 13, 2026, beachgoers are invited to grab a paddle and engage with these works installed directly on the sand. Responding to the richness of Rockaway Beach, one of New York City’s most beloved recreational areas, the artists in the exhibition reimagine the ping-pong table in inventive ways: as a sea legend, an interspecies habitat, a composite musical instrument, maritime flags, a beach scene cast in ceramic, and an ancient Mesoamerican ballgame. Visitors are encouraged to experience ... More
Fortes D'Aloia & Gabriel opens Tiago Carneiro da Cunha solo exhibition 'Holidays Forever' RIO DE JANEIRO.- Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel presents Férias para Sempre [Holidays Forever], a solo exhibition by Tiago Carneiro da Cunha. Based in Rio de Janeiro, the São Paulo-born painter brings together a new body of paintings, the exhibition unfolds through a series of enigmatic scenes in which states of leisure, pleasure, and repose become increasingly difficult to distinguish from images of collapse, disappearance, or death. Reclining figures appear throughout the works, stretched across beaches, gardens, streets, and interiors, their stillness suspended between vacation and catastrophe. At once humorous, unsettling and theatrical, the paintings resist fixed narratives, allowing moments of idleness, vulnerability, and absurdity to compose an open-ended tableau. Produced within a recurring format that places every canvas at the same dimensions, emphasizing ... More
Women artists shaping the visual language of figuration and Pop Surrealism LOS ANGELES, CA.- KP Projects presents Heretic Beauty, a survey of women artists who are shaping and expanding the visual language of figuration and Pop Surrealism. Bridging traditional painting, surrealist imagination, Street Art and contemporary visual culture, the exhibition honors the fierceness, strength, and beauty of artists whose work has redefined narrative figuration over the past several decades. Emerging from the underground and evolving into an internationally recognized movement, Pop Surrealism has long been associated with bold imagery, dream logic, cultural hybridity, and emotional intensity. Within this landscape, these women artists have played a critical and defining role, not as muses, but as authors. By pushing their practice into new psychological, symbolic, and emotional territory. Heretic Beauty brings together a dynamic ... More

On a day like today, Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens was born
June 28, 1577. Sir Peter Paul Rubens (28 June 1577 - 30 May 1640) was a Flemish artist and diplomat. He is considered the most influential artist of the Flemish Baroque tradition. Rubens's highly charged compositions reference erudite aspects of classical and Christian history. His unique and immensely popular Baroque style emphasised movement, colour, and sensuality, which followed the immediate, dramatic artistic style promoted in the Counter-Reformation. In this image: Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577 - 1640), The Calydonian Boar Hunt, about 1611-1612, Oil on panel, 23 5/16 × 35 5/16 in., 2006.4, The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.
