Helen Pashgian, Untitled, HP0079, 2023, epoxy and acrylic, 7 in.
SANTA FE, NM.- An exhibition of works by Helen Pashgian will open at Charlotte Jackson Fine Art on October 10 and will remain through November 10, 2025. The gallery is located in the Railyard Arts District at 554 South Guadalupe Street. It isn’t the how that draws you in. Even if these color-saturated, luminous sculptures do boggle the brain – there is something beyond how that challenges our perception, pulls us in, makes us step closer, look deeper. Each small, seven-inch sphere calls us to fall into it, to see something more that must be hidden within its deep colors. There is something enigmatic in the curved column of shaded turquoise within deep turquoise that casts shadow and shape. Something unexpected in the cubed tunnel of clear transparent material that provides a window into the core of a brilliant orange piece. The darkly lit and rippled square wall pieces offer impossible windows which seem to glow from within. Some contain what app ... More

Sung Tieu, Bleed. Installation view at Kunsthalle Bern, 2025. Photo: David Aebi.
BERN.- Kunsthalle Bern presents a new solo exhibition by Berlin-based artist Sung Tieu (*1987, Hai Duong, Vietnam). Working across sculpture, installation, drawing, text, video, and sound, Tieu examines the architectures of power embedded within bureaucratic, archival, and institutional frameworks. In exhibition settings, Tieu’s practice often takes on the appearance of a minimalist intervention in the form of a precise aesthetic that destabilizes the spatial, psychological, and perceptual expectations of the viewer. For her exhibition Bleed at Kunsthalle Bern, Tieu develops a new body of work that traces Switzerland’s historical entanglements with colonial economies, centering on the cultivation of caoutchouc (natural rubber) in French Indochina. The project engages with the legacy of Swiss-born physician and bacteriologist Alexandre Émile Jean Yersin, whose presence in Southeast Asia from 1890 onward exemplifies how scientific knowledge and colonial extraction were co-constitutive ...

VIENNA.- Kunsthalle Wien opened the second in its series of annual public art commissions in the Museumsquartier. Sophie von Hellermann (b. 1975, Munich) has created an extensive new work on canvas for the 62-metre vitrine on the south-west wall of the Kunsthalle’s building. Von Hellermann’s paintings quote fact and fiction, drawing diversely from history and culture to develop expansive, narrative compositions. Using broad-brushes to apply acrylic and raw pigment on unprimed canvas, her images are imbued with a luminosity and a sense of movement and weightlessness that contributes to their fleeting, dream-like or cinematic quality. Get Your Head Around It pays tribute to the writer, cybernetician, language theorist and musician Oswald Wiener (b. 1935, Vienna; d. 2021, Steiermark) with whom von Hellermann studied Erkenntnistheorie (epistemology) while at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in the 1990s. The work is inspired by a conversation between the artist and her tutor, referring to Wie ... More
Elizabeth Taylor, 1955, Gelatin silver print, The Cecil Beaton Studio Archive, London.

Joos van Cleve (?), Mona Vana Nuda, second quarter of the 16th century (?), oil on walnut panel, inscribed with a false signature Leonardo Vince. National Gallery in Prague
OLOMOUC.- The Olomouc Museum of Art brings an exhibition of Dutch painting from the 15th and 16th centuries. With a certain degree of exaggeration, one of the artists of that time, Karel van Mander (1548–1606), is the co-author of the exhibition, too. In his day, he was and still is one of the most respected Dutch painters. His works are part of the exhibitions of older Dutch art in major museums and galleries around the world. However, he is truly exceptional as the author of Het Schilder-Boeck (The Book of Painting), first published in 1604, in which he provided key information about the lives and works of his predecessors and contemporaries. "The exhibition and the selection of artists are similar to the narrative of van Mander's publication," explains curator Miroslav Kindl. "Through paintings, drawings, prints and books, it presents not only important works of Dutch painting from the 15th and 16th centuries, but also the principles of early modern art collecting and the intellectual wo ...

LONDON.- Gagosian announces Etched Letters, an exhibition of editioned prints, unpublished proofs, and related drawings produced by Brice Marden between 2007 and 2012, on view at the Burlington Arcade gallery from October 10 to November 29. Curated by the Estate of Brice Marden, this is the first gallery display of Marden’s prints in London, and reflects the artist’s dedication to printmaking, which began in the 1960s and continued throughout his career. While his 2006–07 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, was traveling, Marden embarked on an international trip of his own. At the National Palace Museum in Taipei, he encountered “Seven-character Poem (Besotted by Flower Vapors)” (1087), a Song dynasty verse by Huang T’ing-chien (1045–1105). This example of Chinese calligraphy, which was mounted to an album page with blank borders on both vertical edges, inspired Marden to make the first drawings in what became the Letter paintings and works on ...

VIENNA.- Marina Abramović (born 1946 in Belgrade) is one of the most eminent contemporary artists. Considered the founder of modern performance art, she has written art history with her legendary appearances. From her beginnings in the Belgrade of the 1970s, she has, over the course of a career spanning more than fifty years, firmly established performance as a genre of visual art. Already in 1978, she had her first appearance in Vienna at the International Performance Festival. The exhibition, curated in cooperation with Kunstforum Wien, will offer a comprehensive overview of the artist’s oeuvre. The focus of the presentation at the Albertina Modern will be on reenactments of the historical performances, which will be shown daily throughout the exhibition.

Warhol Museum exhibition explores icon's obsession with mortality in Andy Warhol: Vanitas PITTSBURGH, PA.- The Andy Warhol Museum announces Andy Warhol: Vanitas, on view October 10, 2025 – March 9, 2026. Andy Warhol: Vanitas explores the ephemeral nature of life as seen through the eyes of one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century. Andy Warhol, a pivotal figure in the Pop Art movement, was strongly influenced by his Byzantine Catholic upbringing and the religious iconography that pervaded his early life. This spiritual undercurrent appears throughout his oeuvre, where themes of mortality, vanity and the passage of time are recurrent motifs. This exhibition examines Warhol’s contemplation of life’s transient nature through the lens of three themes: Mortality, Vanitas and Temporality. Each theme offers a lens through which his fascination with death, the fleeting nature of beauty and the passage of time can be understood. Warhol explored these themes in his work with seriousness, and he infused them with irony and humor, showcasing his unique, often philosophical and c ... More
A King reborn: Velázquez's Philip IV gallops back to glory at the Prado MADRID.- After months in the expert hands of restorers, one of the Spanish Golden Age's greatest treasures has galloped back into the spotlight. The Museo Nacional del Prado, with the essential support of the Iberdrola España Foundation, today unveiled the fully restored equestrian portrait of King Philip IV by Diego Velázquez. The masterpiece, a cornerstone of the historic Hall of Realms project, is now on display, shimmering with the brilliant colors the Sevillian master originally intended. For four months, restorer María Álvarez Garcillán meticulously worked on the painting, stripping away layers of oxidized varnish that had dulled the canvas to a sickly yellow. The cleaning has dramatically resurrected the work’s chromatic richness, allowing viewers to appreciate the sheer genius of Velázquez's technique—the combination of dry, rapid brushstrokes with heavy impasto that makes the king, horse, sky, and landscape emerge with breathtaking naturalness. As Prado Museum Director Miguel ... More
Essi Kuokkanen paints the ineffable HELSINKI.- We all experience moments when we need support and encouragement—when doors close, or dreams drift just out of reach. In Holding a Cloud, Essi Kuokkanen reflects on what it means to be human—and how we coexist with other life on Earth. Her exhibition of paintings and drawings opens at Kiasma on October 10, 2025. Essi Kuokkanen lends shape to emotions and experiences that stir quietly beneath the surface. In her works, uncertainty crouches behind a fragile shell; spiders spinning their webs evoke the relentless passage of time; and other people appear elusive, like translucent ghosts. Beneath the inviting surfaces of her paintings runs a muted undercurrent of melancholy and solitude. Many of the works in the exhibition revolve around themes of growth and transformation. Like in a fable, Kuokkanen reflects on what it means to be human by drawing parallels with other life forms. Dogs appear as recurring figures—creatures bound to the rules and rituals of human life, whether ... More

An archival display focused on her early career in her hometown, Los Angeles, traces the tributaries of her early career in the 1980s and ‘90s. A founding mother of the city’s queercore scene, Ms. Davis was, in her own words, “too gay for ... More

Lincoln items including gift Gettysburg cane preside over Heritage's Americana & Political Signature Auction DALLAS, TX.- On November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered a speech at the Consecration of the National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, that redefined the purpose of the Civil War and shaped how subsequent generations of Americans viewed the history and governance of their nation. Four and a half months earlier, the Union had won the bloodiest battle in American military history, a victory that marked a crucial turning point in the war. One hundred sixty-two years later, what began as a simple tree branch picked up from the battlefield and shaped into a walking stick with ties to both important moments in American history will be among the hundreds of historic artifacts for sale in the October 24-25 Americana & Political Signature® Auction. The Gettysburg Cane Presented to Edwin M. Stanton was given to Lincoln as a gift at some point during his trip to Gettysburg when he gave his Gettysburg Address.
