AMSTERDAM.- The painting Flowers in a Small Chinese Porcelain Cup (1884) by Odilon Redon (1840–1916), formerly in private ownership, has been transferred to the State of the Netherlands and placed at the Van Gogh Museum. The early still life was executed in oil on a modestly sized panel (27 x 15.5 cm). Its intimate scale and sober composition suggest that Redon painted the work for himself. Redon created a hushed composition with a few simple elements – a handful of flowers in a Chinese porcelain cup holding bright red flowers against a calm background. Flowers in a Small Chinese Porcelain Cup was part of the extensive collection of Andries Bonger (1861–1936), one of the most important collectors of Redon’s work. Bonger had close ties with the Van Gogh family: he was the brother of Jo van Gogh-Bonger, Theo van Gogh’s wife, and also knew Vincent van Gogh personally. He purchased the painting directly from Redon in 1902. After being in private ownership for many years, the ... More
René Magritte, Les grâces naturelles, (circa 1961; estimate: £6,500,000-9,500,000).
LONDON.- Christie's will present René Magritte's Les grâces naturelles as the leading highlight of its upcoming The Art of the Surreal Evening Sale on 5 March 2026. Offered at auction for the first time, and having remained in the same private collection for 25 years, this defining work carries an estimate of £6,500,000-9,500,000. Painted circa 1961 with extraordinary colours and exhibited at the Magritte Museum in Brussels since its opening in 2009, Les grâces naturelles is a compelling expression of René Magritte's enduring fascination with metamorphosis and visual paradoxes. The work revisits one of the artist's most recognisable and successful motifs: the fantastical “leaf-bird,” a hybrid form poised between two states of being, captured at the moment of transformation. René Magritte realised 18 canvases devoted to this important motif over the course of his career, as he often did with his subjects most in ... More
PARIS.- Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Marais presents an exhibition of works by Austrian artist Martha Jungwirth. The exhibition centres around a remarkable large-scale 131-part installation of drawings and paintings on paper and cardboard interspersed with pages cut from newspapers – described by Bernard Blistène as a ‘great frieze of unruly images’ – created over the course of five years between 1987 and 1992. This monumental work will be accompanied by a group of the artist’s recent paintings, as well as a selection of watercolours, the earliest of which date from the 1980s. As Jungwirth has described, ‘My art is like a diary, seismographic. That is the method of my work. Drawing and painting are a movement that runs through me.’ The monumental work at the heart of the exhibition exemplifies the artist’s ... More

WASHINGTON, DC.- The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery has announced Brooklyn-based artist Kameron Neal as the first-prize winner of the seventh national Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition. Neal’s two-channel video installation “Down the Barrel (of a Lens)” (2023) draws upon his time as a public artist in residence at New York City’s Department of Records, and it places the audience between two screens of declassified New York Police Department surveillance footage filmed between 1960 and 1980. As the first-prize winner, Neal will receive $25,000 and a commission to create a portrait of a living individual for the museum’s permanent collection. “Down the Barrel (of a Lens)” will be on view as part of “The Outwin 2025: American Portraiture Today” exhibition, co-curated by the competition’s director Taína Caragol, the Portrait Gallery’s senior curator of painting and sculpture, and Charlotte Ickes, ...

PHOENIX, AZ.- This winter, Phoenix Art Museum presents Muscle Memory: Lens on the Body, an exploration of the ways in which photographers across history have represented and reckoned with the human body and its associated dimensionality, evolution, and politicization. Drawn primarily from the collection of the Center for Creative Photography (CCP) at the University of Arizona in Tucson, along with select works from the PhxArt Collection and those by Arizona- based contemporary artists, the exhibition showcases more than 80 wide-ranging works that contend with the body’s form, physicality, and limits. Muscle Memory: Lens on the Body will be on view at PhxArt from January 24, 2026, through June 28, 2026. “Muscle Memory: Lens on the Body offers a view into the human experience that is both compelling and relatable,” said Jeremy Mikolajczak, the Sybil Harrington Director and CEO of Phoenix Art Museum. “From sports imagery and self-portraiture to abstract compositions, this exhibition ...

Zora J Murff, Gas Money (Affirmation #1), 2019. Archival pigment print. 60 x 75 inches, 3 + 1 AP.
NORTH ADAMS, MASS.- MASS MoCA is presenting Zora J Murff: RACE/HUSTLE, curated by Terence Washington. RACE/HUSTLE aims to demonstrate, through photographs, collages, and, for the first time, installation works, that the pursuit of liberation is, in part, a struggle against a desire for what merely mimics it. Murff makes photographs, assemblages, videos, and text works that examine physical, psychic, and political violence, the rhythms and resonances of oppression throughout history and into the present, and the harmful desires that our visual culture cultivates. Murff is particularly attentive to the structures of state violence. His project for MASS MoCA invites viewers to examine how systems of domination interlock and how their injurious effects are normalized and made invisible in everyday life. “Zora specializes in photo-based works that confront viewers with sometimes difficult truths about Black life in the United States,” says CEI fellow and guest curator Terence Washington. “Increa ...

Eva Robarts, Compression no.3 (After Fabro), 2024. Metro shelf component, bike frame, trucking door mirror, basketball loop, nuts, bolts, 53 x 49 ¼ x 12 ⅝ in. 134.6 x 125.1 x 32.1 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Nicola Vassell is presenting Bikes, Bolts & Brooms, an exhibition of sculptures by Eva Robarts that is the artist’s first solo presentation with the gallery. Robarts creates work from the cast offs of society, constructing pieces that reform and transform found objects taken from her surrounding urban landscape to give them a second life. Her practice, which oscillates between creation and destruction, establishes a conversation with the public and private infrastructure of the city that emerges from material remains that she collects from the streets of New York. Robarts’ process begins outside the confines of her studio as she rejects a traditional studio practice that sequesters the artist from their surrounding environs. Instead, she fully immerses herself within the city through long walks across its expanse—searching, finding and gathering urban detritus that becomes ... More
Justine Randall, The Night Sky: 7am Early Spring 2019. Wool, cotton warp, 170 x 170 cm. 66 ⅞ x 66 ⅞ in.
SALISBURY.- Roche Court Sculpture Park is presenting an exhibition of tapestries by Justine Randall, which will be on display until 1st February. The exhibition consists of a series of five wall hangings, that use the differing weights and textures of yarn to convey the changing quality of light. The tapestries that are featured in the exhibition are accompanied by three sculptures, Alter Ego (1963) by Isaac Witkin, Diamond Maquette (1972) by Phillip King and Vertical Form No. 1 (1963) by Robert Adams. Each sculpture is in conversation with the tapestries, not just through form and colour, but by providing the context of British sculpture in the decades leading up to Randall’s studies at the Royal College of Art. Between 1986 and 1988 Randall studied at the Royal College of Art under Mary Farmer, who oversaw the movement of the Tapestry Course into the School of Fine Art. The fact that Randall was taught in the Fine Art Department, as opposed to a specific Textile Course, can ... More

DUBLIN.- EVA International announced that Eimear Walshe’s ROMANTIC IRELAND has been acquired into Ireland’s National Collection at IMMA, the Irish Museum of Modern Art. ROMANTIC IRELAND (2024) stages soapy, dramatic encounters between character archetypes from the 19th–21st centuries set on the site of an unfinished earth build. These figures occupy an abstracted ruin, a site under simultaneous construction and demolition. The soundtrack is a five-voice opera describing the scene of an eviction, composed by Amanda Feery with a libretto by Walshe. The work confronts us with narratives of empire’s displacement and ruination, the criminalisation of the colonised, and intergenerational conflict and betrayal. ROMANTIC IRELAND was originally presented for the Irish Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024 ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- BOUNTY explores the evolving relationship between people and natural resources through cycles of extraction and regeneration. Through practices spanning geographies and generations, BOUNTY bears witness to an eco-human continuum shaped by modes of engagement that range from stewardship to exhaustion. The exhibition is inspired in part by the regenerative work of Grown in Haiti, a reforestation organization based in the mountains of Jacmel. Founded on land once depleted by oil rigging and monocropping, the project has restored soil health and water access to cultivate and distribute more than 20,000 trees representing over 2,000 fruit-bearing species historically native to Haiti. This connection is further shaped by curator Sadaf Padder’s long-standing involvement with the organization as a volunteer since 2019. BOUNTY is also informed by Sargent’s Daughters owner and director Allegra LaViola’s family collection, inherited from her late father, Alex Pagel, whose ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- The February 12 sale of Fine Photographs celebrates the technical innovation and artistic vision that have defined the medium, from pioneering nineteenth-century work to mid-century street photography to contemporary conceptual images made with photographic techniques. The auction opens with a selection of 70 lots from Stephen White's landmark collection, A Country Called California, featuring photographs from the 1850s to the 1960s. White's vast collection views the unique history of California through the lens of photography, and imagines this history and its people as a "dreamscape," a place that represents both our past and hopeful future as a country.

Featuring newly commissioned and recent work across fiber, painting, film, photography, and graphic design, the exhibition brings together seven Staten Island artists whose practices reflect the complexities of the present moment. At once introspective and far-reaching, Here You Are asks what it means to belong - to a place, to a history, to oneself, illuminating layered worlds that often exist hidden in plain sight. The exhibition unfolds as a series of encounters with spaces that feel deeply familiar, yet strangely unsettled: domestic interiors, inherited memories, cultural rituals, and imagined landscapes that oscillate between comfort ...

Exhibition explores creative boundaries of photography and ceramics MONTEREY, CA.- Monterey Museum of Art rounds out its Winter 2026 Season with two exhibitions that highlight California artists who are collectively expanding the techniques and imagery used in creating contemporary landscape photography and ceramics. Guest curated by Helaine Glick, Landscape ReEnvisioned asks visitors to reconsider landscape photography—moving beyond a beautiful but more straightforward image to layered, experimental, and material approaches that often offer both personal stories and social commentary about the simultaneously resilient and imperiled land. Similarly, Spirits and Memory: The Ceramics of Pam Murakami offers a unique interpretation of traditional ceramic forms and highlights a broad set of cultural and historical influences that shaped Murakami’s artistic vision. Conventional ceramic pitchers (ewers) are re-imagined and reflect ... More
Chris McCaw returns to San Francisco with breakthrough analog works SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Haines presents Reversals and Revolutions, the gallery's second solo exhibition with renowned photographer Chris McCaw (b. 1971, lives and works in Pacifica, CA). McCaw’s singular artistic practice foregrounds photography’s essential components—light and time, lenses and light- sensitive materials—to generate startlingly inventive photographic forms. Reversals and Revolutions debuts his newest body of work, Inverse, alongside a selection of his signature Sunburn prints. Rendered entirely in- camera through McCaw’s years-long mastery of complex and little-known photographic processes, the exhibited works are unique, direct prints— emerging from the camera to the developer tray without post-processing, cropping, or manipulation: raw recordings of light. This highly anticipated exhibition marks McCaw’s first solo showing ... More
CEPA Gallery announces the opening of Face ID: A Surveil of Che-Wei Hsu & Faith Mikolajczyk's Focus Residency BUFFALO, NY.- Face ID: A Surveil of Che-Wei Hsu is a lens-based artistic investigation and experience into the nature of surveillance in modern society. Through performance, photography, and installation, Hsu’s work explores the dynamics between being watched and watching, questioning how surveillance influences human behavior and identity. Surveillance as a topic of public discourse is growing and more relevant than ever. Hsu says, “I think about the behavior that people would not do in front of other people…for example, eating a sandwich on the ladder in front of the webcam.” Che-Wei Hsu’s playful work runs the gamut from videos of the artist laying down in the shoe section of a Marshalls, to photographs documenting strangers ...

Haus für Medienkunst Oldenburg confronts Edith Ruß's Nazi ties OLDENBURG.- Through the experimental exhibition Die Stifterin, der Nationalsozialismus und das Haus, which combines a historical section and a contemporary art exhibition, we invite the Oldenburg community to reflect on the Nazi past of the eponymous founder of the Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art, Edith Ruß. The 2024–25 debate about changing the institution’s name to the Haus for Media Art Oldenburg was controversial and emotional, with little room for nuanced perspectives. This discursive project aims to shed light on Russ’s personal history against the backdrop of new findings about her role in supporting National Socialism in Oldenburg, revealing the complexity of memory, legacy, and responsibility. The project comprises three parts. The first section is a historical exhibition, which primarily presents Russ’s documents and writings from the Nazi era. The display ... More

On a day like today, Spanish artist Salvador Dalí died
January 23, 1989. Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, Marquess of Dalí de Púbol (11 May 1904 - 23 January 1989), known as Salvador Dalí, was a Spanish surrealist artist renowned for his technical skill, precise draftsmanship, and the striking and bizarre images in his work. Born in Figueres in Catalonia, Dalí received his formal education in fine arts in Madrid. Influenced by Impressionism and the Renaissance masters from a young age, he became increasingly attracted to Cubism and avant-garde movements. In this image: The Atomic Era, 1957 Original lithograph on stone, watercolor and collage From Selected Pages of Don Quixote of La Mancha. Collection of the Salvador Dalí Museum, St. Petersburg, Florida.
