PORTLAND, MAINE.-SPEEDWELL announces the release of The Haunted—Contemporary Photography Conjured in New England, a limited-edition art book that brings together the region’s rich literary past with its vibrant contemporary photographic scene. The 152-page volume pairs poetic works from the past two centuries with striking photographs by 21 artists working across New England today. A panel discussion and two exhibitions will take place in Portland this October in conjunction with the release of The Haunted. The Haunted highlights the different ways in which the art and technology of photography can reveal mysterious and magical dimensions of the world, as well as conjure new possibilities and ways of seeing. The Haunted also invokes histories unique to New England, including early Puritanism with its fear of witchcraft and sorcery, as well as the rich tradition of lyric and confessional poetry created by New England poets. ...

LEIDEN.- From 16 October 2025, the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in the Netherlands (the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities) in Leiden will present the major winter exhibition Discovering Ancient Egypt. After a successful world tour that attracted more than 1.5 million visitors, many masterpieces from the world-famous Egypt and Nubia collection are now back in Leiden. Together with special loans from Dutch and international museums, they tell a dazzling story about the life, the religion and the culture of ancient Egypt. Visitors can admire almost five hundred objects, including beautifully painted coffins, impressive statues and jewellery, colourful papyri, animal mummies and unique manuscripts. Many are on view in the Netherlands for the first time in decades, others are exhibited for the first time. The fascination with Egypt is not only a modern phenomenon: people in ancient times also admired and revered the traditions and monuments of the Nile Valley. That age-old curiosity and the constant ... More

VINELAND, NJ.- Bertoia’s Annual Fall Auction is always one of the most keenly-anticipated events of the year for collectors of toys, banks, advertising or holiday antiques. The lineup of featured collections entered in this year’s edition, which is slated for November 21-22, offers bidders a level of quality and variety that rivals anything seen in Bertoia’s past pre-Thanksgiving sales. The opening session is packed with rare toys, banks and trains; while the artful selection chosen for Day 2 will usher in the gift-giving season with beautiful Christmas and other holiday antiques, as well as early 20th-century advertising and posters. Auction headliners include Ives and AMRR trains from the personal stash of the late Dale Buchardt, whose collection is also the source of an incredible Kenton Coca-Cola truck that Dale regarded as his very best toy. It is possibly the only example of its type known to exist. Also sharing the spotlight are the prints, posters and automobilia amassed by a r ... More
Oil on canvas by William Trost Richards (American, 1833-1905), titled Mother and Child in an Autumn Landscape (1876), 24 ¼ inches by 20 ¼ inches. Estimate: $150,000-$250,000.
MILFORD, CONN.- Shannon’s Fine Art Auctioneers will present their annual Fall Fine Art Auction on Thursday, October 30th at 6pm Eastern Time, showcasing an exceptional lineup of 159 works by American and European masters and contemporary artists. “This auction brings together a vibrant mix of styles, periods, and price points,” said Sandra Germain, Managing Partner at Shannon’s. “We’re thrilled to offer works by historic fresh-to-market discoveries and contemporary favorites.” The cover lot is a rare, early William Trost Richards dated 1876, depicting a mother and child collecting leaves in an autumn landscape. The rich fall colors of the painting are amplified by the soft light of the setting sun and a small crescent moon in the sky. Richards, an American Pre-Raphaelite, was known for his attention to detail and truth-to-nature Ruskinian approach. Mother and Child in an Autumn Landscape is easily a masterpiece ... More
LONDON.- The universe of Swiss painter Nicolas Party comes alive in his first solo exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in London. Featuring new treescapes and portraits in pastel, this exhibition celebrates and challenges longstanding and cherished conventions of representational painting through Party’s signature style. The portraits in the exhibition, inspired by two sculptural works by Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin, serve as a conceptual springboard to also frame the group of treescapes on view. Party utilizes the symbolism and mythological references present in these sculptures to confront the inevitability of aging and death, two themes that have long been central to his artistic exploration. Known for his unique use of soft pastel, the artist has become a master of the medium, employing the pigment’s versatility, immediacy and saturated color. Party is known for conceiving his exhibitions as comprehensive ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Opening on October 16th, Paula Cooper Gallery will present an important historical installation by Veronica Ryan, Archaeology of the Black Sun 1956–2002 (2003), alongside new works. The exhibition follows the artist’s first survey, Veronica Ryan: Unruly Objects, organized by the Pulitzer Arts Foundation, St. Louis, Missouri, and currently on view at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio. In the spring of 2026, Ryan will have a one-person exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery, London, UK. Ryan’s sculpture initiates an intimate and expansive dialogue around loss and retrieval, inviting inquiry into cultural, social and environmental concerns. Everyday items are transformed through hand-stitching, crocheting, or casting in bronze and ceramic, imbuing them with both personal narratives and universal psychological associations. Ryan arranges and groups objects with ... More
MUNICH.- "Helmut Newton. Polaroids" highlights iconic instant photographs by the renowned photographer, capturing Newton’s unmistakable style in a spontaneous medium. Since the 1960s, the Polaroid process has revolutionized photography. Already in 1947, Edwin Land had developed instant photography for his company, the Polaroid Corporation, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Subsequently, the process was tested and continually refined by many renowned photographers on behalf of the company. This led to the first exhibitions, a dedicated artistic support program, and the foundation of the Polaroid Collection, which, of course, also includes several works by Helmut Newton. Anyone who has ever used such a camera will remember the smell of the developing emulsion, the speed of the image’s appearance—in short, the fascination with the instant photograph. With the particularly popular SX-70 camera, the Polaroid developed on its own, since the developer and fixer chemistry ... More
ESPOO.- The third part of Saastamoinen Foundation’s Dialogues collection exhibition is on view at EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art. This new display completes the selection that has gradually replaced the earlier Touch exhibition. More than 40 new works are now on display, including internationally recognised names not previously seen in Finland, as well as emerging Finnish artists. Based on an open dialogue between artworks, the Dialogues exhibition presents Saastamoinen Foundation Art Collection through regularly updated displays at EMMA.

The visual and material relationships of the artworks generate shifting moods, moments of surprise, and opportunities for reflection. The selection includes works that address topical questions of power, ... More
Tom Sachs, Chawan Shelf, 2025. English porcelain, cinder block, and hardware. 27.9 x 19.1 x 20.3 cm (11 x 7.5 x 8 in).
LONDON.- Thaddaeus Ropac London presents A Good Shelf, an exhibition and interactive installation by Tom Sachs that marries his signature bricolage sculpture techniques with the ceramic practice he began in 2012. A selection of 30 of the New York-based artist’s hand-formed ceramics, displayed on singular shelves built from found materials, will be accompanied by Mezcaleria, a working coffee and mezcal bar, as Sachs continues to explore themes of ritual and process. The ceramics on view can be used as mezcal copitas, cortado cups, cereal or soup bowls, but their ancient, versatile form originates from the East Asian tea bowl, or chawan. Sachs first started sculpting NASA-logo chawans affer his 2012 Space Program: Mars mission, when he created a bricolage version of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony to be conducted on Mars. Over the course of more ... More
SALZBURG.- Thaddaeus Ropac Salzburg presents an exhibition of new works by Austrian artist Markus Schinwald. Large-scale tapestries and an immersive soundscape, that hovers on the limits of perception, will envelop the gallery space, transforming the rooms of Villa Kast into a uniquely experiential setting for Schinwald’s recent series of paintings. The works suggest a conversation between the past and the future, sparked by an analogue method that bridges centuries of artistic and conceptual thinking. Having explored the complexities of inhabiting and perceiving the body for many years, Schinwald’s recent work investigates the deformation and decline of ‘memory culture’. For the artist, this not only includes retrospective constructions of the past, but also speculative imaginings of the future – as seen, for instance, in science fiction films – which are inevitably built from fragments of our past. Schinwald is particularly interested ... More
PARIS.- MASSIMODECARLO Pièce Unique announces October 2025, Elmgreen & Dragset’s second presentation at Pièce Unique in Paris. For this exhibition, Elmgreen & Dragset present a hyperrealistic sculpture of a gallery assistant installed directly in Pièce Unique’s window, visible to anyone passing along rue de Turenne. Normally hidden behind the exhibition space, the gallery’s office is brought forward: a large desk occupies the front of the gallery, behind which the assistant slumps forward, apparently asleep. Visible through Pièce Unique’s window both day and night, passersby are invited to contemplate the woman’s situation. Who is she? Is she napping, or shutting herself off from the outside world for a moment? Is she exhausted, or simply refusing to do her job, like a modern-day Bartleby? The ambiguity leaves space for multiple readings. As with much of Elmgreen & Dragset’s work, October 2025 blurs the line ... More

METZ.- Farah's practice materialises the political, representative and philosophical contradictions that underpin contemporary artistic production. In this exhibition, the displayed works range from landscape paintings to portraits, associated to religious sculptures from the musée de La Cour d’Or collections in Metz. Their juxtaposition reveals a genealogy linking morality, power, and punishment. Farah focuses for his exhibition on the position of the witness, embodied here in paintings depicting pillars of salt located near the Dead Sea. Known as ‘Lot’s wife’, these formations refer to a biblical story: as she was fleeing from her city of Sodom with her family, she looked back one last time to witness its destruction—and, as punishment, was transformed into a pillar of salt. Hamishi Farah underlines that in giving a human face to natural features a resonance is established between culture and nature, in the process ‘naturalising’ history. His ... More
COLOGNE.- We live at a time that allows us little room for manoeuvre. Much is out of joint, and not only since the pandemic; the foundations we thought we could rely on are coming apart at the seams. Things appear strange and have lost all sense of proportion. Numbers and facts prevail, shaping our personal experiences and predominating in images that go well beyond reasonable limits. It is all the more important that reason informs political action, yet the will to power is taking its place as autocratic tendencies gather pace along with unbridled greed for money and influence, with as yet unforeseen consequences. Although during and after times of crisis, culture matters more than ever in order to give every society a meaningful identity and every person a sense of security, ... More

Gropius Bau presents Ligia Lewis's expansive survey of race, history, and resistance BERLIN.- In Ligia Lewis’ performances and films, comedy and tragedy collide. As an artist and choreographer, she playfully weaves together narratives of race, gender, violence and resistance to unravel how these histories continue to haunt and define the present. The notion of being seen and witnessed – or not – is central to Lewis’ practice. For her, choreography is the movement of ideas across bodies. She describes this as a political act; a writing against racist misrepresentations and erasure. “Dressing each dance with a considered music score and within a visual design allows me to work through physical narration to build a dynamic dramaturgy that releases itself from the fetish of the body and the fetish of movement invention. I’m always after something specific in my work, even while experimenting.” — Ligia Lewis Collapsing historical timelines, Lewis’ works emphasise ... More
Patty Horing's new paintings explore modern detachment and emotional nuance NEW YORK, NY.- Anna Zorina Gallery presents Reflection, Patty Horing’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. Reflection features the artist’s latest paintings which depict people in urban interiors, as well as a related group of painted ceramic vases. Thematically, the works share a visual emphasis on the flat glass planes that encase, reflect and absorb us: the windows of our homes and offices, the mirrors of our bathrooms and entryways, the screens of our electronic devices. Horing’s practice centers on the narrative and psychological dimensions of portraiture, capturing her subjects in candid, introspective moments that offer an intimate glimpse into their inner lives. Her work often focuses on the depth of relationships between individuals and their intimate partners, their environments, and themselves. Here, within these indoor scenes, the figures are detached ... More
Bagus Pandega, Mona Filleul and Costanza Candeloro with Licit Illicit Bookshop at Swiss Institute NEW YORK, NY.- Swiss Institute presents the first institutional exhibition of Indonesian artist Bagus Pandega. Pandega’s work ingeniously addresses the extraction of natural resources in Indonesia—from the 16th century spice trade in nutmeg and cloves, to the palm oil industry, to the contemporary global demand for nickel used in batteries for computers, phones, and electric vehicles. Adopting a do-it-yourself, hacker approach, Pandega constructs modular systems using readily available, everyday technologies, natural materials such as plants and rare earth minerals, and musical instruments. These responsive installations are programmed to trigger mechanical and chemical reactions that generate sound or movement, influenced by changes in hyperlocal conditions such as human presence in the space. Embedding viewers in feedback loops of electricity, breath, ... More
Cornelia Foss reveals personal trauma in Little Reds series at Hirschl & Adler NEW YORK, NY.- Hirschl & Adler Modern announces its first exhibition of works by the renowned painter Cornelia Foss (b. 1931). A denizen of the artistic and intellectual milieus of New York City and Bridgehampton, New York, Foss has long been considered the standard bearer of an expressive figurative style that characterized much of the art in Eastern Long Island during the second half of the 20th century. Foss is celebrated for her tender portraits, her bright, gestural still lifes, and expansive landscapes with broad, colorful swaths of surf and sky. But the works in this exhibition represent a departure from her typical subjects. The “Little Reds,” as the artist calls them, are a series of paintings executed over the past ten years that she considers intensely personal. Unlike her colorful, joyful seascapes, the “Little Reds” stand out for their moody, agitated aesthetic with a depth ... More

Exhibition at Galerie John Ferrère explores mud as the matrix where Paris history and modern ruins converge PARIS.- Lutum is an exhibition conceived in two voices, bringing together the worlds of Alexander Rączka and Javier Carro Temboury. Its title, from the Latin lutum, meaning “mud,” recalls that the ancient name of Paris, Lutetia, also finds its origin in this raw material. Mud, both fertile and unstable, here becomes a shared metaphor: that of a common ground, a soil where history, memory, and fictions intertwine. Just a hundred meters away flows the Seine. Its successive floods and the erosion of its banks bring to light buried artifacts, gradually exhumed by the silt. When the waters recede, they drag along trunks, shopping carts, and washing machines, leaving behind the remnants of a submerged past. Alexander Rączka’s practice unfolds ... More
Laurent Grasso merges myth and machine in debut London solo show at Perrotin LONDON.- Perrotin presenting the first solo exhibition by Laurent Grasso at the gallery’s London space. Winner of the prestigious Marcel Duchamp Prize (2008), Grasso is internationally renowned for his immersive works that merge history, science, and fiction. At the center of the exhibition is the film Orchid Island (2023), shot in remote sites off the coasts of Taiwan. Rendered entirely in black and white, lush tropical landscapes are overshadowed by the apparition of a vast, levitating black rectangle. At once abstract, alien, and supernatural, this enigmatic form unsettles our perception of time and place. Suspended between archival imagery and science fiction, and accompanied by a hypnotic score by Nicolas Godin (from Air), the film embodies Grasso’s ability to transform landscapes into metaphysical experiences. Beneath the apparent beauty of the images, Orchid Island ... More
Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale 2026 title, theme, and preliminary artist list DIRIYAH.- The Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale 2026, led by Artistic Directors Nora Razian and Sabih Ahmed, announces a preliminary list of participating artists and presents its curatorial framework and title, In Interludes and Transitions. This is the third edition of the Biennale, which takes place at JAX, a creative district with industrial heritage in the historic town of Diriyah, and will open to the public on January 30, 2026. The title of the Biennale draws from a colloquial phrase invoking the cycles of encampments and journeys in nomadic communities in the Arabian Peninsula, taking as a point of departure the movements, migrations, and transformations that continue to connect the Gulf region with the world—bringing together practices committed to vibrant imaginations of world-making, forged through the social and ecological upheavals that mark the first ...

Marie Watt explores Indigenous systems for measuring time at Marc Straus NEW YORK, NY.- Marc Straus is presenting Marie Watt’s third solo exhibition at the gallery, Thirteen Moons. The show will be on view through December 20. Though the Gregorian calendar has become the dominant standard for measuring time, cultures across our planet independently crafted their own systems, often guided by solar and lunar cycles, seasonal changes, and religious events. A member of the Turtle Clan of the Seneca Nation of Indians with German-Scottish ancestry, Watt explores and honors her Haudenosaunee heritage through her art practice, and her latest body of work is a modern homage to the traditional system of marking one year. A focal point of the exhibition is a large-scale neon where the names of the thirteen months of the Haudenosaunee are arranged in concentric circles. Translated into English, each month signifies ...

Desert Caballeros Western Museum acquires monumental bronze by John Coleman WICKENBURG, ARIZ.- The Desert Caballeros Western Museum has acquired the award-winning John Coleman monumental sculpture, titled “Victory! Plenty Coups,” and will install it on October 24 in front of the museum entrance, establishing a prominent position in the heart of downtown Wickenburg. The 10-foot-tall, 1,050-pound sculpture depicts the Crow Nation Chief Plenty Coups and was a highlight of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum’s Prix de West Invitational Art Exhibition & Sale, where it won the 2025 James Earle Fraser Sculpture Award. Coleman, who lives in Prescott, has been sculpting full time since 1994 and was voted into the professional membership of The National Sculpture Society of New York in 1999. He is now an emeritus member of the Cowboy Artists of America. “This sculpture portrays Chief Plenty Coups mounted on his war horse, ... More
