Spirit Series, #2420, 2025 Anagama-Fired Stoneware 48 x 21w x 20d in.
CONCORD, MASS.- At 73, visionary ceramic sculptor Chris Gustin is reflecting on legacy, time, and mastery. Wild Things, his monumental new exhibition at Lucy Lacoste Gallery, presents late-career masterworks from his celebrated Cloud and Spirit and new Sprite series. The show, on view through October 12, 2025, captures Gustin at the height of his power— and underscores his place in the American ceramic canon. Gustin’s work is represented in over 35 major institutions including LACMA, the Metropolitan New York, MFA Houston and the Victoria and Albert. The urgency is clear: these are museum- quality works that both honor the past and define the future of abstract ceramics. Working improvisationally from oval foundations, Gustin builds closed-form sculptures that tower over four feet tall. Their anthropomorphic, cloudlike, and otherworldly forms evoke humility, generosity, and sensuality. Spirit Series #2503— a tall, tender work w ... More
LONDON.- Christie's auction of The Winter Egg and Important Works by Fabergé from a Princely Collection will present a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on 2 December, during Classic Week in London. The Winter Egg (estimate on request; in excess of £20 million) was commissioned by Emperor Nicholas II as an Easter gift to his mother Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna in 1913, the year of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov Dynasty. The creative genius of Fabergé's most celebrated female designer Alma Theresia Pihl – exquisitely executed by her uncle workmaster Albert Holmström – it is among the most lavish of Fabergé's Imperial creations and widely regarded as one of the most original and artistically inventive Easter eggs that the house created for the Imperial family. Believed lost for almost two decades, between 1975 and 1994, The Winter Egg has previously set the world record for a work by Fabergé not once but twice: when it was offered by Christie's in 1994, upon being rediscovered, a ...

Installation View, Daniel Temkin: SYS//LOOP::[branch>halt..𖥧𖠰⧉≡⬡], Courtesy of Higher Pictures.
BROOKLYN, NY.- Higher Pictures is presenting its first in-person exhibition with Daniel Temkin, a new iteration of the artist’s 2020 online exhibition originally mounted at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The exhibition brings together two series: Straightened Trees and Dither Studies to explore human fallibility and the irrational architectures of systems we construct to impose order. Temkin situates digital photography within the broader history of computer art, emphasizing the machinic processes of the medium and their strange, often illogical consequences when exposed. Where Sol LeWitt posited that the conceptual artist should follow an irrational idea absolutely, Temkin shows how our own irrationality saturates even the most rigidly logical systems. His work recalls glitch practices, the systematic sketches of Anni Albers, Liz Deschenes’ cameraless studies of mediation, and Joseph Weizenbaum’s writings on the compulsive programmer. In Straightened Trees, a series of gelatin s ... More
Unknown artist, Virgin of Guadalupe. Mixed technique on panel with mother-of-pearl inlays, c. 1680–1710. Castellón de la Plana, Monastery of the Capuchin Nuns.
MADRID.- The Museo Nacional del Prado has just added a dazzling new treasure to its galleries: a monumental enconchado painting of the Virgin of Guadalupe, now on temporary deposit for one year. This extraordinary work, once housed in the Capuchin convent of the Most Precious Blood in Castellón de la Plana, is now on view in Room 18 of the Villanueva Building. The painting is remarkable both for its beauty and for its rarity. Created between 1680 and 1710, it is one of the largest surviving examples of the enconchado technique—an artistic innovation born in New Spain (colonial Mexico). The process involved inlaying sheets of mother-of-pearl onto wooden panels and layering them with delicate washes of pigment, lacquer, and varnish. The shimmering effect, often enhanced with powdered gold and silver, produced luminous works that bridged indigenous craft traditions with global influences, particularly Japanese export lacquers. In this case, the luminous ... More

LONDON.- Maureen Paley is presenting Build From Here, Wolfgang Tillmans’s eleventh exhibition with the gallery. This exhibition marks the inauguration of our new gallery in 4 Herald St. This space previously served as part of Tillmans’s former London studio and therefore has particular significance, both for the gallery and the artist. He moved his primary production to Berlin in 2011. Build From Here extends across all our three East London spaces: 4 Herald St, 60 Three Colts Lane, and Studio M. The exhibition will present new photographic works made with and without the camera, new photocopy works, as well as two recent video works which were premiered in Nothing could have prepared us – Everything could have prepared us at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, in summer 2025. Build From Here seeks to demonstrate the process of making and observation as an act of transformation. A work such as Easter Passion (2007) shows the artist’s former studio. The piece depicts examples of Till ... More
Installation Photography of Lee Miller at Tate Britain, 2 October 2025 – 15 February 2026.
LONDON.- Tate Britain presents the largest retrospective of photographer Lee Miller ever staged. Spanning the full breadth of Miller’s multifaceted practice, from her participation in French surrealism to her war reportage, the exhibition reveals how her innovative and fearless approach pushed the boundaries of photography, producing some of the most iconic images of the modern era. Around 230 vintage and modern prints, including works on display for the first time, are presented alongside unseen archival material and ephemera, shining a light on the richness of her photographic legacy. Miller was born in 1907 in Poughkeepsie, New York State. She initially studied painting and stage design, but her time as a professional model inspired her to pursue photography. Tate Britain’s exhibition traces her journey from modelling in New York, where she was photographed by celebrated figures like Cecil Beaton and Edward Steichen, to working behind the lens in Paris where she moved in 1929.

Tamio Wakayama, Martin Luther King Jr. outside the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) office, Atlanta, Georgia, July 1964, 1964, silver gelatin print, Estate of Tamio Wakayama.
VANCOUVER, BC.- Opening at the Vancouver Art Gallery on October 3, 2025, Enemy Alien: Tamio Wakayama is the first major solo exhibition dedicated to the late documentary photographer Tamio Wakayama (1941–2018). Through approximately 300 photographs, the exhibition spans more than five decades of Wakayama’s career, documenting social justice movements and communities across Canada and the United States. Wakayama’s images tell stories of resistance, joy and cultural resilience in the face of injustice. “We are proud to showcase the significant yet underrecognized work of Tamio Wakayama, a visionary activist whose commitment to social change remains relevant and inspiring today,” say Eva Respini and Sirish Rao, the Vancouver Art Gallery’s Interim Co-CEOs. “In Wakayama’s photographs, we see not just history, but a life lived ...

BERGEN.- Kode Bergen Art Museum will present a major retrospective of Georg Baselitz, one of the leading artists of our time, celebrating six decades of the artist’s printmaking. A Life in Print is the most extensive presentation of Baselitz’s prints to date, running from October 3, 2025 to February 22, 2026. Since the 1960s, Georg Baselitz (b. 1938) has been turning the world upside down with his art, and printmaking has always been an integral part of the German artist’s practice. Featuring nearly 250 works, A Life in Print will be the most comprehensive presentation of Baselitz’s prints ever assembled. "It is a show that I wanted to witness, a show that had to happen," states the 87-year-old artist. "Throughout my career, printmaking has been of utmost importance to me. It is very exciting to see it taking centre stage for once." A Life in Print, which has been curated by Cornelius Tittel in collaboration with the Baselitz Archives, will present all the main themes and mo ... More
Tom Sandberg, Untitled, 2001. Silverprint on aluminium. Image: 77 x 99 cm. Frame: 91 x 112 cm.
COPENHAGEN.- Photography has often been understood as a tool for preserving reality, a trace of the world that confirms what is seen. For Tom Sandberg (1953–2014), however, the camera was something else entirely, an instrument for dissolving the boundaries between the familiar and the enigmatic. NILS STÆRK is proud to present an exhibition offering insight into Sandberg’s artistic development, encapsulating his distinctive gaze and his ongoing search for the indeterminate within the everyday. His images revolve around seemingly simple motifs: an airplane on an empty runway, a girl with her eyes covered, or the shadow of a man glancing into the horizon. Beneath these surfaces unfolds a complex visual dialogue about perception and time. In Sandberg’s world, there is no singular narrative and no imposed symbolism. Instead, the viewer is invited into a space where meaning arises in the tension between what is ... More

The Merchant House opens season with Leo Vroegindeweij and Ruth Meijer's road-trip inspired exhibition AMSTERDAM.- The Merchant House opened its new season, dedicated to artistic collaborations, with an exhibition featuring longtime partners in life: leading Dutch sculptor Leo Vroegindeweij and painter Ruth Meijer. Vroegindeweij’s art—that is, its rare uniqueness—captures both the physicality of sculpture and the play of the literal and the metaphorical. It is fitting, therefore, that this exhibition takes its inspiration (point of departure) from Vroegindeweij and Meijer’s journey this past summer: a road trip to transport his work to Puglia, Italy, for one of Vroegindeweij’s “ephemeral projects.” Vroegindeweij placed his sculpture—for a single-night, site-specific installation—within the architecture of a Puglian trullo as part of the program of Dep Art Out, in collaboration with The Merchant House. Now taking center stage at the art gallery The Merchant House in Amsterdam ... More
Brooklyn Museum dives into Oliver Jeffers's Life at Sea, an interactive ocean installation BROOKLYN, NY.- The Brooklyn Museum opened Oliver Jeffers: Life at Sea in the Toby Devan Lewis Education Center.

Her compositions balance disorder with control, evoking the terrain of an aerial landscape or the bloom of flora. Working from above with her canvases laid flat, Sora dissolves raw pigments into rich, aqueous color fields. By applying dozens of layers of paint, Sora ... More
Museum of Arts and Design announces Hai-Wen Lin as winner of 2025 Burke Prize NEW YORK, NY.- The Museum of Arts and Design announced Hai-Wen Lin as the winner of the 2025 Burke Prize, one of the most prestigious awards in contemporary craft. Established in 2018 and named for craft collectors Marian and Russell Burke, the prize awards an unrestricted $50,000 to an artist under the age of 45 working in the United States whose practice demonstrates conceptual rigor, relevance, and a mastery of materials and process. Lin’s practice explores the attunement of the body to the environment through fashion, sculpture, and kitemaking. Their works—described as “couture for the wind”—merge garment construction with flight engineering, resulting in textiles and sculptural kites that can be both worn and flown. Dyeing fabrics with sunlight and designing kites that double as garments, the Chicago-based artist collapses boundaries ... More

From Benin to Madagascar: Roméo Mivekannin reimagines colonial postcards in Correspondances ANTANANARIVO.- Fondation H is presenting Correspondances, a carte blanche offered to artist Roméo Mivekannin. This exhibition unfolds within a network of personal and collective exchanges, rooted in territories dear to the artist: his native Benin, his adopted city of Toulouse, and Antananarivo, where he pursued his reflections in collaboration with Malagasy artisans and in dialogue with Hobisoa Raininoro, the exhibition’s curator. Correspondances thus becomes a living space for the circulation of ideas, forms, and narratives, embracing the full meaning of the word “correspondence”: written, visual, memorial, and symbolic. With Correspondances, Fondation H offers a sensitive and critical rereading of a chapter of colonial history. Mivekannin draws inspiration from postcards dating from the colonial era—seemingly banal yet deeply violent, emblems of a racist ... More

Ben Uri shines spotlight on American-born artists in new exhibition LONDON.- Following last year’s wide-ranging exhibition, Us: From There to Here, exploring diverse immigrant artists from the Ben Uri Collection, this display returns the focus to a single country of origin, highlighting selected artists born in the USA. In contrast to their European counterparts, often fleeing war, persecution or otherwise displaced in the first half of the twentieth century, these artists made voluntary journeys for professional, personal or educational reasons, predominantly after the Second World War. Probably the best-known, as well as the earliest artist to arrive, was sculptor Jacob Epstein, born into a New York family of Russian/Polish Jewish immigrants, who settled in London in 1905, after five years in Paris. From his first public commission in 1907 to create the (now mutilated) former British Medical Association Building sculptures, he became a figure ... More
