PARIS.- The Musée Jacquemart-André is showcasing the work of one of the leading figures of Italian Mannerism, Jacomo Robusti, known as Tintoretto (1518/19–1594). This exhibition presents, for the first time in France, a comprehensive overview of Tintoretto’s entire career and demonstrates how his artistic legacy has transcended temporal and geographic boundaries, establishing him as a key influence on 19th-century French painting. Jacomo Robusti, nicknamed ‘Tintoretto’ in reference to his father’s trade as a dyer, established himself as a major figure in 16th-century painting. In Venice, where he remained for all his life, his ambition found fertile ground. It was in this capital of culture that his remarkably long career unfolded. Although little is known about his training, he began making a name for himself in the late 1540s with prestigious commissions such as Miracle of the Slave (1548). During the second half of the century, at the head of a large workshop, he do ... More

For centuries, flowers have served as visual metaphors, carrying ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Back in the days when the information age was a distant dream and the world a more mysterious place, National Geographic began its mission to reveal the wonders of history, popular science, and culture to eager audiences around the globe. Since that 1888 launch, the world has changed; empires have risen and crumbled and a galaxy of information is today only a click away. But National Geographic endures; its calm, authoritative voice is as respected as ever amid the surfeit of data in our daily lives. In this new anthology, TASCHEN and National Geographic gather the magazine’s best infographics of the past 128 years. Through seven sections—History, The Planet, Being Human, Animal World, World of Plants, Science & Technology, and Space—we encounter the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the mysterious origins of the Easter Island statues, Cleopatra’s Alexandria, and the anatomy behind a cheetah’s extraordinary speed. We discover how our genetic patterns have been ... More

DUBLIN.- The Irish Museum of Modern Art presents Technologies of Peace: Art and Transition in Contemporary Europe (1989–2026), a speculative exhibition bringing together researchers, artists, thinkers, and curators from across Europe to critically examine one of the defining challenges of our time: the question of peace. At a moment marked by ongoing wars, geopolitical instability, social fragmentation, and the constant circulation of conflict through media and culture, conflict is frequently aestheticised, analysed, and consumed. Peace, by contrast, is rarely afforded the same sustained attention. Yet it is precisely now amid escalating global tensions and deepening uncertainty that the complexity, fragility, and transformative potential of peace is asserted. Drawing on artistic, political, and social perspectives across Europe, including Greece, Poland, Romania, Spain, Cyprus, Portugal, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, UK, Kosovo, and Croatia, the exh ...

Museum of the Medici Chapels, bronzes of Ferdinando I and Cosimo II restored Photo Ottaviano Caruso
FLORENCE.- Two towering bronze portraits of the Medici grand dukes Ferdinando I and Cosimo II have emerged renewed from an extensive conservation campaign at Florence’s Medici Chapels, bringing fresh clarity to works that have watched over the spectacular Chapel of the Princes for centuries. The Museo delle Cappelle Medicee announced the completion of conservation and extraordinary maintenance on the monumental sculptures, together with a new presentation of historic reliquaries formerly displayed in the Medici Crypt. Standing more than three meters high above the grand ducal cenotaphs, the bronzes form part of one of Florence’s most ambitious expressions of Medici power. The Chapel of the Princes, wrapped in elaborate expanses of colored marble and semi-precious stone, was conceived as a dynastic monument to the family that dominated Florentine political and cultural life for generations. Although the Chapel was designed to accommodate monumental portraits of several Medici rulers, the ... More

NEW HAVEN, CONN.- On September 11, 2026, the Yale University Art Gallery opened Nguni: Migrant Nations of Southeast Africa, the first exhibition to situate Nguni artistic traditions within the broader cultural, political, and ecological world that shaped them.

The works on view reveal how Nguni art emerged from a world defined by cattle pastoralism, deep connections to landscape and lineage, and long-standing networks of cultural interaction. ... More
LIVERPOOL.- A new blockbuster exhibition, 70 Years of The Cavern Club will open at Museum of Liverpool on Saturday 16 January 2027 - 70 years to the day since the Cavern opened. Created in collaboration with The Cavern Club, the exhibition charts the club’s journey from a post-war jazz club in a Mathew Street cellar to a global cultural phenomenon and thriving live music venue synonymous with the city. At its heart are the people who have shaped the Cavern across seven decades - from the performers to the fans. Their stories are brought to life through rare photographs, instruments, personal objects and memorabilia that capture the relationships and moments behind its remarkable history. The Cavern Club began life in 1957 as a jazz cellar, but it did not stay one for long. From lunchtime sessions that gave young Liverpool bands a stage to the arrival of the city’s new ‘beat groups’, the club became a place where new sounds could find an audience. The Beatles ... More
BERLIN.- Preis der Nationalgalerie 2026 at Neue Nationalgalerie presents NIGHT, the first major solo exhibition in Germany by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan (born 1960 in Padua). The exhibition brings together seminal works from across Cattelan’s practice with new commissions conceived specifically for Mies van der Rohe’s iconic building. With the new work Purgatory (2026), the exhibition introduces a scaled-down Brandenburg Gate inside the museum, repositioning one of Germany’s most recognizable monuments as a space of passage, reflection, and historical ambiguity. From this point, the exhibition unfolds as a sequence of encounters between bodies, objects, images, and architectural forms. At the centre of the exhibition, Him (2001), Cattelan’s kneeling male figure, is positioned in direct relation to Dawn (2007), a female figure crucified inside a transport crate. Their alignment establishes a vertical axis within the space, bringing together distinct forms of devotion, v ... More

BERLIN.- Esther Schipper Berlin is presenting a solo exhibition by David Claerbout, the artist’s second with the gallery. Under the title Repose, the exhibition presents four works shown for the first time in Berlin: The woodcarver and the forest, 2025, Birdcage, 2023, Backwards Growing Tree, 2023, and Eagle Eye, 2026. Alongside the videos, a number of works on paper will be exhibited. All films on view explore our relationship to nature and the way we have learned to see the world around us. In The woodcarver and the forest we watch a woodcarver whittling down wooden blocks to create one spoon after another; the act appears almost meditative, until we realize every gesture comes at a cost: outside his window, the forest is slowly being reduced to the objects he creates. The lush gardens of a stately home portrayed in Birdcage becomes the site of a violent eruption, shifting the ... More

Everyone is talking about Greenland. Eight artists speak for themselves COPENHAGEN.- Copenhagen Contemporary opened its doors to Fire & Ice – On Belonging and Becoming in Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), a group exhibition bringing together eight contemporary artists who live, work or have roots in Kalaallit Nunaat, Greenland. The exhibition presents both established artists and a new generation of talent. Across visual art, performance, literature and activism, the artists insist on telling their own stories — at a time when Greenland occupies more of the world's attention than ever, yet is rarely given the floor to speak for itself. The majority of the works are newly commissioned, created specifically for Fire & Ice. This makes the exhibition eight answers to what it means to be connected to Kalaallit Nunaat in 2026 — not as a look back, but as a living interpretation of the present. In Fire & Ice, belonging is not something you have, ... More
Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige present research-based exhibition with MAMCO GENEVA.- To decipher the world we live in, artists and filmmakers Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige (both born in 1969 in Beirut) have elaborated over the last decades a multimedia, research-based practice that confronts the real with the power of image-making, fiction, and poetry. With the works presented here—Palimpsests, Time Capsules, and Trilogies—, Hadjithomas & Joreige investigate the ways visual art give significance to realities that have long remained out of sight. Drawing on geological methodologies and collaborations with practitioners of rescue archaeology, the artists propose representations challenging the writing of history, the visuality of the invisible, and the vertigo induced by deep time. They state: “this body of works explores the invisible remains of cities buried beneath our contemporary towns, testifying to the impact ... More
Cirkeline turns 70 as Nivaagaards Malerisamling revisits Hanne Hastrup's beloved little elf NIVÅ.- It began with a bored 17-year-old, a few circles drawn on paper and a tiny figure that would eventually become one of Denmark’s most enduring children’s characters. In 2027, Cirkeline turns 70, and Nivaagaards Malerisamling will mark the anniversary with an exhibition devoted to Hanne Hastrup’s original drawings and the imaginative world that grew from them.

Paris exhibition explores collective creation and intellectual disability in Art Brut PARIS.- What happens to Art Brut when the idea of the solitary, isolated outsider artist gives way to collaboration, exchange and community? That question lies at the heart of Art Brut ressourcé, a major exhibition bringing the work and philosophy of Belgium’s La “S” Grand Atelier to Halle Saint-Pierre in Paris from September 11, 2026 through July 31, 2027. The exhibition brings together work produced within La “S” Grand Atelier in Vielsalm, Belgium, a center where artists with intellectual disabilities work alongside contemporary artists in residence. Rather than treating those practices as separate worlds, the center has spent years creating a shared environment in which drawing, painting, sculpture, embroidery, photography, installation and collaborative projects can develop without the usual hierarchies surrounding who is considered a professional, outsider ...

Major Kunsthaus Zürich show brings Monet, Picasso, and Tinguely into new dialogues ZURICH.- Monet, Hodler, Picasso, Taeuber-Arp and Tinguely: ‘Evergreens. Selected Works from the Collection’, which runs from 11 September 2026 to 10 January 2027, offers a fresh new take on some of the most important artists at the Kunsthaus Zürich. Masterpieces leave behind their familiar contexts within the Collection and appear in new juxtapositions that open up surprising new perspectives. In wall texts, people from Zurich – including some well-known faces – explain why they chose a particular work as their favourite, and why it moves, remains with or inspires them. Claude Monet’s water lilies, Andy Warhol’s ‘Big Torn Campbell’s Soup Can (Vegetable Beef)’, Franz Gertsch’s ‘Franz and Luciano’, Arnold Böcklin’s ‘Saint Anthony Preaching to the Fish’ and Francis Bacon’s monumental triptych are just some of the highlights from the Kunsthaus Zürich that are ...

New York State Museum marks 25th anniversary of 9/11 with new exhibition, artifacts & programs ALBANY, NY.- The New York State Museum opened a new photography exhibition, a new display of rarely seen artifacts, and a series of public programs to mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Together, these exhibitions and programs honor the lives lost, those who responded, and the lasting impact on New York and the nation. Witness to 9/11 is a new photography exhibition that explores the immediate response and aftermath of the attacks, told primarily through the work of two New York Daily News photographers, Todd Maisel and David Handschuh. Both were among the journalists who responded to Lower Manhattan that morning, unaware of what would unfold. In addition to documenting the attacks, Maisel assisted when Handschuh was seriously injured in the collapse of the South Tower. ... More

Markus Saile debuts large-scale abstract paintings in solo show at Mai 36 ZURICH.- Markus Saile’s second solo exhibition at Mai 36 presents, for the first time, large-scale works that touch upon, and at times almost exceed, the dimensions of the human body and the associated function of the painting as a counterpart to it. The colours of the paintings unfold as a spatial dramaturgy: green and yellow each shape their own rooms, while blue works set distinct accents within the constellations of the exhibition. Through the arrangements and intervals of the architecture-related installation, specific correspondences emerge between the paintings, activating viewers and inviting them to set their gaze in motion and forge connections. A large-scale painting in a pale, yellow ground (Untitled), like several other works in the exhibition, presents an indeterminate monochrome field. It is traversed by fluid horizontal structures that emerged ... More
