NEW YORK, NY.- Bruce Silverstein is presenting an online selection of photographs by the legendary sports photographer Walter Iooss. Spanning some of the most iconic moments in twentieth-century sports history, the images include celebrated works such as The Catch and Roger Maris Hits His 61st Home Run, alongside photographs that have never before been exhibited or published. Widely considered the world’s most influential sports photographer, Walter Iooss Jr. has helped define the visual language of modern sports for more than six decades.

His photographs appeared on more than 300 covers of Sports Illustrated—more than any other photographer in the magazine’s history—over a career that ... More
MUNICH.- The Written Art Collection is unique in its profile. For the first time, the Modern Art Collection (Sammlung Moderne Kunst) in the Pinakothek der Moderne is dedicating a major special exhibition focussing on its holdings of works of scriptural and text-based art. Around 60 artistic positions invite visitors to engage with a 1,200-square-meter exhibition parcours that reveals a panorama of written art and encourages reflection on the reciprocal relationship between text and image. The selection presents writing as both an artistic medium and material from the mid-20th century to the present day. ‘Sweeter than Honey. A Panorama of Written Art’ highlights a dynamic socio-political dialogue between artists from a pancultural, global perspective. The exhibition title is inspired by the work ‘Knowledge Is Sweeter Than Honey (Arabic) ... More
Wilhelm Neusser, Hold on! (#2533), 2025. Oil on linen, 48 x 36 in.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- “The ban only heightened their allure, sweeter than forbidden fruit. Soviet youth became obsessed, determined to get their hands on a pair of jeans by any means necessary. Smuggling thrived. Ever so often, a genuine pair of American jeans would appear among the contraband trickling in from across the globe. In those days, every pair of jeans was believed to be American. Because Soviet propaganda so passionately vilified the United States, many of us came to believe that happiness existed wherever denim was abundant.We dreamed about those jeans, not just the fabric itself, but the world they seemed to represent.” Abigail Ogilvy Gallery is pleased to present Jeans Generation, inspired by Dato Turashvili’s novel, which recounts the true story of a group of young Georgians who hijacked a plane in an attempt to flee the Soviet Union.The exhibition brings together fifteen artists whose works investigate the psycholog ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Friedrich Hölderlin is probably André Butzer’s favorite poet and ranks alongside Walt Disney and Henri Matisse among his “favorite people ever.” His identification with the poet goes even further, as Hölderlin’s day of death is Butzer’s own birthday. As Butzer moved to Los Angeles, the land of his youthful dreams, for the first time in 2001, he got homesick. The home he longed for lay neither in the old world nor in the new. In California, he read Hölderlin’s Hyperion and was shaken: “As I read, I felt that I understood every word. I thought these words came from me.” Butzer recognizes himself in Hölderlin’s fateful protagonist and invents the figure of the homeless Wanderer. His home is in painting, and so he sets off down “Hyperion Ave”—the street on which The Walt Disney Studio opened in 1926. According to Butzer, “Hölderlin, just like Disney, expresses longings. And these can be put to use.” For Hölderlin, poetry ... More
TOKYO.- Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo presents a major exhibition of Sol LeWitt (1928–2007), one of the most influential American artists of the latter half of the twentieth century, who explored the possibilities of what art can be through works focused on ideas. This exhibition, the first substantial survey of his art at a public museum in Japan, offers an overview of his expansive practice, encompassing wall drawings, structures, works on paper, and artist's books that radically transformed the terms of artistic production. In the 1960s, LeWitt challenged the conventional notion that art expresses the artist’s inner self or emotions. By combining cubes as basic units into modular structures, he demonstrated how serial progression could determine the form of a work, as in Structure (One, Two, Three, Four, Five as a Square) (1978-80). For him, the origin and core of artistic creation lay in its ... More

TEL AVIV.- “Art now expresses the human pursuit of a stable, objective ground, of things as they are,” wrote the historian and curator Gustav Hartlaub at the entrance to the “New Objectivity,” which opened in 1925 in Mannheim, Germany. This seminal exhibition effectively delineated a trend that would become an influential artistic movement. The “New Objectivity” artists – among them Otto Dix, George Grosz, Rudolf Schlichter, Georg Scholz, and Christian Schad – strove to reflect reality as it truly is, without any embellishments. They refused to conceal the horrific consequences of World War I on German society and avoided emotional and abstract expressions of the artist’s soul on the canvas. The portraits they painted, for instance, do not extol their subjects, but rather give their faces the sharpness and imperviousness of an object, a thing. A selection of the “New Objectivity” artworks ... More

LONDON.- The Courtauld Gallery announced today its programme of exhibitions and displays for 2026. The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition: Seurat and the Sea will be the first ever exhibition dedicated to the seascapes of the major French Post-Impressionist artist Georges Seurat (1859-1891).

The Medium and the Message traces six centuries of printmaking at the Israel Museum JERUSALEM.- This landmark exhibition at the Israel Museum encompasses six centuries of printmaking, charting the medium’s rich history and examining its impact on art as a whole. Used at first to reproduce and circulate existing images, printmaking dramatically expanded the accessibility of visual culture. Very quickly, however, prints asserted themselves as independent art forms. Thus printmaking has uniquely provided both an affordable means of mass communication and a wealth of artworks for discerning collectors. Giving artists greater freedom to experiment with form, narrative, and content, the medium assumed center stage and in a sense became the message. This exhibition showcases masters who shaped the evolution of printmaking. During the Renaissance, Dürer combined technical virtuosity with psychological depth in his engravings, while in ... More
Fairfield University to receive Holocaust memorial sculpture in 2026 FAIRFIELD, CONN.- In 2026, Fairfield University and the Fairfield University Art Museum will receive the generous gift of an artwork that embodies the enduring human spirit and serves as a reminder to stand against injustice and promote peace—a bronze Holocaust memorial sculpture titled She Wouldn’t Take Off Her Boots. She Wouldn’t Take Off Her Boots honors five Jewish women who stood in the face of ultimate terror during the Holocaust and refused to comply.

"The Museum is delighted to accept this monument and to have it take its place among our outdoor sculptures on campus," said Carey Mack Weber, the museum's Frank and Clara Meditz Executive Director. "We are looking ... More

NATCHEZ: Award-winning doc executive produced by Sam Pollard opens in January at Film Forum NEW YORK, NY.- Film Forum will present the U.S. theatrical premiere of Suzannah Herbert’s NATCHEZ on Friday, January 30. Natchez, Mississippi: a town of 15,000 that, for generations, has drawn tourists to its immaculately restored antebellum mansions, hosted by hoop-skirted white matriarchs, for an experience dubbed “Pilgrimage.” As interest declines in and questions arise about showcasing these regal estates with tall tales of the “Old South,” Natchez faces a reckoning—with a romanticized, sanitized historical narrative and the debt it owes to the descendants of enslaved people. Directed by Suzannah Herbert—a documentary filmmaker whose work focuses on the American South—NATCHEZ follows owners of historic plantations, local activists and politicians, and both white and African American tour guides as they tell their ever-more conflicting versions ...

Garvey│Simon will present Karl Hartman's meditative paintings of land, light, and weather NEW YORK, NY.- Garvey|Simon will present The Nature of Nature, a solo exhibition of oil paintings by Karl Hartman. With meticulous technique and a softly surreal quality, Hartman transforms familiar scenes into meditations on perception, wonder, and the delicate balance between humanity and the natural world. Hartman’s imagery spans the vast prairie skies of his youth and the dense New Jersey forests of his present life—two terrains that continue to nourish his vision. His paintings capture fleeting moments—whorls of clouds over a shimmering lake, a storm front looming over a country road, or milkweed seeds spiraling into the air—with an almost scientific precision and poetic sensibility. Drawing on his dual background as both artist and geologist, Hartman approaches the land not merely as subject but as an active, living process. The influence of my experience ... More
Diana Markosian captures the haunted beauty of ballet in Fantômes at ROSEGALLERY SANTA MONICA, CA.- ROSEGALLERY is presenting Fantômes, a solo exhibition of works by artist Diana Markosian. Inspired by Victor Hugo’s Fantômes, this series offers an intimate glimpse into the Cuban National Ballet’s production of Giselle. First staged in Paris in 1841, Giselle tells the tragic story of a young woman who dies of heartbreak and returns as a spirit to redeem her lover. In Cuba, the ballet resonates differently, reflecting a cultural legacy, the Cuban National Ballet, once upheld as a symbol of national pride, now shadowed by uncertainty. In Fantômes, Markosian captures this sense of impermanence, allowing movement to stretch and fade rather than freeze in time. Her dancers appear to hover between visibility and disappearance, their forms dissolving into light and shadow. The result evokes not only the spectral presence of Giselle herself but also the fragile ... More

Oiticica was a groundbreaking visual artist and theorist whose diverse practice spanned sculpture, drawing, painting, installation, and performance. His expansive body of work laid the foundations for participatory art, radically infusing abstraction with the sociopolitical discourse ... More
