Alexander Roslin, The Lady with the Veil. The Artist's Wife Marie Suzanne Giroust, 1768. Oil on canvas.
STOCKHOLM.- This winter’s exhibition poses the question of who truly gets a place in a national portrait gallery. How has this looked historically? And how might it look in the future? In the exhibition, well-known works such as The Lady with the Veil by Alexander Roslin are shown alongside contemporary pieces, including Mikael Jansson’s portrait of Max Martin and Marja Helander’s portrait of Britta Marakatt-Labba. What is a national portrait collection – and what could it be? That question forms the starting point for Nationalmuseum’s winter exhibition. The National Portrait Gallery was founded in 1822 as a collection of portraits of prominent Swedes. Considered the world’s oldest national portrait gallery, the collection has long been part of Nationalmuseum and is on display at Gripsholm Castle in Mariefred. This winter’s exhibition presents a selection of around 100 portraits from the 16th century up until today, a mix of paintings, ... More
Keith Smith (b. 1938), Multiple Exposure with Remark (a la Picasso Etching), 1966. Gelatin silver print, printed c. 1966 9 1/2 x 7 1/2 in (24.1 x 19.1 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- Bruce Silverstein Gallery presents Keith Smith: Synecdoche, curated by Megan N. Liberty, the gallery’s fifth solo exhibition of the artist’s work. The title Synecdoche, “a figure of speech in which a part represents the whole,” captures the conceptual premise of this exhibition and a central tenet of Smith’s practice. In his own words, “pictures can, no, must give up their sovereignty for the sake of the total.” The exhibition brings together over forty works from Smith’s groundbreaking early experiments in photography and bookmaking from the 1960s to the 1980s, a period of profound innovation. Drawn from the artist’s personal archive, the collages, works on fabric, postcards, and artist books in this exhibition offer a rare opportunity to appreciate a true polymath who drew upon a vast range of mediums and techniques to explore themes of love, self-identity, sexuality, ...

Jordan Casteel, Jazmine, Golden and LaToya, 2025, Oil on canvas, 78 x 150" / 198.1 x 381cm. Photo: David Schulze.
NEW YORK, NY.- Jordan Casteel presents Covering the holes in our walls with sunflowers, her fourth exhibition with Casey Kaplan. Borrowing its title from Alice Walker’s 1974 essay “In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens,” recent portraits, landscapes and vignettes muse on the artist’s garden in the Hudson Valley as a reservoir for acts of resilience and vulnerability. Buds are transformed into bounties and personal reflection into a communal experience. Casteel’s hand clasps a heap of zinnias, dahlias, and amaranth in Offering (2025). In a self-referential portrait, the artist points to an abundant bouquet, hand-grown and in full bloom, revealing the acts of cultivation made in autumn that reverberate into spring. Serving as a sanctuary for Casteel, the garden–a site of growth and decay, of turning dirt into life–embodies a creative endurance in the ebb and flow of seasonal and cultural rhythms. To paraphrase Walker, the garden’s ... More

Elmar Trenkwalder's monumental WVZ 183 transforms the Belvedere's Carlone Hall VIENNA.- In the latest edition of the Carlone Contemporary series, the Belvedere presents the imposing sculpture WVZ 183 by Austrian artist Elmar Trenkwalder. General director and curator Stella Rollig: Elmar Trenkwalder’s art possesses a visual opulence that few can resist. His visual language feels both approachable and mysterious – what seems familiar at first slips beyond easy understanding on closer view. The monumental sculpture he has chosen for the Carlone Hall weaves a compelling dialogue between past and present. For more than four decades, Elmar Trenkwalder (b. 1959, Weißenbach am Lech) has been creating monumental ceramic sculptures defined by their opulent formal language, meticulous details, and architectural presence. In his artistic practice, he draws inspiration from biomorphic shapes and a rich repertoire of archaic figures and ... More
Kalfayan Galleries unites four generations of Greek artists in '4ensic Drawings' THESSALONIKI .- The exhibition “4ensic Drawings” at Kalfayan Galleries stages a dialogue between two emblematic figures of post-war Greek art—Nikos Gavriil Pentzikis and Alexis Akrithakis—and two contemporary voices: Karolina Krasouli and Konstantinos Mouchtaridis. The shared premise is simple: each builds images from small, repeated actions that, in turn, open up dense fields of association. The show does not trace a linear chain of influence; instead, it sets questions in motion: what links artists of different generations? how do techniques and attitudes converse across time? what can we learn when detail becomes ritual, pattern becomes notation, and trace becomes surface? The affinities here are not merely formal; they are methodological, even ontological. They concern the very experience of focus, of devotion, of the repeated act that shapes ... More

Sophie Cure invites visitors to play with language at Passerelle Centre d'art contemporain BREST.- Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, forms part of the initiative whereby an artist is invited each year to design an exhibition that will encourage visitors to the Centre for Contemporary Art to touch and interact with the works. Sophie Cure is an artist, graphic designer and typographer. She sees language as a living thing to play with. Her adaptable objects spark pleasure in reading, deciphering, understanding, looking at everyday things in a new way. She includes elections for the word of the day, a Scrabble® tray with changeable letters, ideas in black to colour in, and reading sonatas. Her creations almost always involve a game. For Sophie Cure, this motivates the creative urge, it’s a state of mind, a tool that favours sharing and learning, allowing the unexpected to emerge. In this exhibition she invites us to plunge into an immersive landscape with multiple meanings. ... More
Galerie Miranda revisits Nancy Wilson-Pajic's radical journey through photography PARIS.- The new solo exhibition at Galerie Miranda of works by Nancy Wilson-Pajic (b. 1941) draws upon the artist’s personal archives to present early and lesser-known works in order to highlight the breadth of enquiries and processes explored throughout her long career in France and internationally. Particularly known today for her large-format photograms in cyanotype, notably of disembodied textiles - haute couture robes for Christian Dior, Alexander McQueen, Christian Lacroix; historical laceworks and stage costumes; but everyday objects - Nancy Wilson-Pajic first used photography in the 1960s to document her artworks - performances as well as ephemeral and in situ works. In the 1970s this developed into a practice of “performance” for the camera, often sequences of still images, but the artist also organized “absences”, or installations with her voice ... More

Grotesque meets the surreal: David Nolan Gallery unveils 'Tarantula's Babies in Their Flying Saucers!' NEW YORK, NY.- David Nolan Gallery opened Tarantula's Babies in Their Flying Saucers! an exhibition of recent drawings and paintings by Jonathan Meese, Dennis Tyfus, and Tim Brawner, on view November 5 through December 20, 2025. Together, the three artists present a powerful engagement with culture, mythmaking, and the systemic forces that seek to control and manipulate those narratives. Their work is inscribed, to varying degrees, with the tradition of the grotesque and a fascination not only with the close proximity of desire and disgust, but also the increasingly confusing space between the real and an artificially generated reality. In their own inimitable and darkly comic way, each artist employs elements of the surreal, the fantastic, or the uncanny that speak to the current moment with an uneasy beauty. Born in Tokyo in 1970, Jonathan Meese moved to Hamburg ... More
Sotheby's to auction The Legendary Mercedes Gleitze Rolex Oyster GENEVA.- The wristwatch involved in one of the most compelling episodes in wristwatch making history will appear at auction for the first time in a quarter of a century – its second only sale in a hundred years – at Sotheby’s Important Watches Live Sale due to take place at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Geneva on 9 November 2025.

On a day like today, American artist Harry Bertoia died
November 06, 1978. Harry Bertoia (March 10, 1915 - November 6, 1978) was an Italian-born American artist, sculptor, and designer celebrated for merging art, sound, and form into a unified creative language. After emigrating to the United States in 1930, he studied at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, where he became part of a visionary circle that included Charles and Ray Eames and Eero Saarinen. Bertoia first gained fame for his iconic wire furniture designs for Knoll, especially the Diamond Chair (1952), a modernist classic that remains a staple of 20th-century design.
