LAKE WORTH BEACH, FLA.- Palm Beach is accustomed to spectacle. It knows galas, blue chip exhibitions, museum openings, and private viewings behind discreet doors. But on a recent evening inside Palm Beach Modern Auctions, something unfolded that felt less like spectacle and more like a quiet recalibration of the regional art ecosystem. The occasion was a private talk by Jerry Saltz, Pulitzer Prize winning art critic for New York Magazine, delivered not in a museum auditorium or university lecture hall, but inside a working auction house surrounded by works by Andy Warhol, Joan Miro, Marc Chagall, and two paintings by Willem de Kooning. What made the evening remarkable was not simply Saltz’s presence, though his candid, unscripted style carries the weight of decades spent shaping critical discourse. It was the room itself. Museum professionals from the Boca Raton Museum of Art stood alongside directors affiliated with the Florida Atlantic University Galleries. Leadership connected to the NSU Art Museum Fo ... More
ASHEVILLE, NC.- In 2016, artist and author Enrique Martínez Celaya met Jungian Analyst and author James Hollis and an immediate connection was formed. Despite their distinct backgrounds—one rooted in the world of visual art and literature, the other steeped in the depths of psychology and myth—they discovered a profound common ground: a shared devotion to the essential questions that shape our lives. This collaboration invites readers into a conversation where questions, not answers, take center stage. Martínez Celaya and Hollis believe that it is the questions we ask—about meaning, purpose, and self—that make life both interesting and developmental. Answers may provide closure, but questions open doors, encouraging growth and transformation. Though our individual paths may differ, the journey is a universal one. By interrogating the assumptions and longings that underlie our daily choices, we engage with the larger themes that connect us all. The authors suggest that by bringing t ... More
Matt Mullican, Untitled (Glenn: Sign), 2024. Acrylic and oil stick rubbing on canvas, 175 x 100 x 4 cm. 68 7/8 x 39 3/8 x 1 5/8 in.
BERLIN.- Galerie Thomas Schulte presents ABOVE AND BELOW THE THREE WORLDS, an extensive solo exhibition of works on paper, rubbings, video, and sculptural objects by Matt Mullican. Familiar systems of organizing and representing information and knowledge, including charts, models, and bulletin boards, coalesce with idiosyncratic ones that are at the core of Mullican’s practice. His use of primary colors and basic forms comes to the fore as initial legibility gives way to underlying complexity. This constellation of signs, symbols, and codes, at times recalling those found in both public and personal environments, offers a multi-layered reading of the space—a reality structured across different levels of meaning and experience. Mullican has been developing his cosmology and system of categorizing the world since the ‘70s. ABOVE AND BELOW THE THREE WORLDS draws reference to early exhibitions of that time, which were concerned with charting the progression of the ... More
Joseph Heintz d. Ä., Portrait of a Lady, 1598. Oil on canvas, 87 × 70 cm. Kunstmuseum Bern, depositum of Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft, Bundesamt für Kultur, Gottfried Keller-Stiftung. Photo: Kunstmuseum Bern.
BERN.- One of the treasures of the Kunstmuseum Bern is the significant holding of works of early art. From 13 February to 27 September 2026, the museum is putting this part of its collection at the centre with the exhibition Life in Full. Old Masters from Duccio to Liotard. Alongside masters from the early modern period, the exhibition features works of Florentine and Sienese painting from the Trecento and Quattrocento as well as masterpieces of the Baroque. A fascinating exhibition that reflects the full range of life: martyrdom meets grandstanding, asceticism encounters opulence, virtue confronts lust. Skillful altarpieces by Niklaus Manuel and the Bern Carnation Masters, and intimate devotional works of medieval Florentine and Sienese painting from the 13th to the 15th century are juxtaposed with elegant portraits and opulent still lifes by artists such as ...

LONDON.- Christie's will present Henry Moore's seminal work King and Queen as a major highlight of its 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale on 5 March 2026. Offered at auction for the first time, and having remained in the same private British collection for over seventy years, this celebrated work carries an estimate of £10,000,000-15,000,000. Conceived in 1952–53, the sculpture was first cast in an edition of four plus an artist's cast. This is the only remaining example still in private hands; all other casts are held in major public collections, including the Moa Museum of Art, Atami; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C.; the Middelheim Museum, Antwerp; and the Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena. Two subsequent casts were produced specifically for the Tate Collection (1957) and The Henry Moore Foundation (1985). King and Queen is one of Henry Moore's quintessential ... More

BARCELONA.- Prisoners of Love. Until the Sun of Freedom is the first exhibition by the artists Basel Abbas (Nicosia, Cyprus, 1983) and Ruanne Abou-Rahme (Boston, United States, 1983) in the Spanish state. The exhibition will be on display at MACBA from 13 February to 28 September 2026 and is curated by Hiuwai Chu, Head of Exhibitions and Curator at the museum. The central focus is the eponymous audiovisual installation based on recent research into the resilience of Palestinian prisoners through song and poetry. This piece, which has been reworked for the MACBA exhibition, is a co-production between the Catalan museum, Nottingham Contemporary, The Bell/Brown Arts Institute, Brown University and Kunstinstituut Melly, and forms part of the MACBA Collection. The exhibition at the Barcelona museum presents earlier creations that trace a trajectory of almost two decades of constant commitment to the poetics and politics of memory, and to the struggle against the plundering ...

THE HAGUE.- From 14 February, the Kunstmuseum Den Haag presents London Calling. Representing the first major survey of its kind in the Netherlands, the exhibition brings together highlights of postwar British figurative painting, including works by Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, David Hockney and Paula Rego. Organised in collaboration with Tate, London Calling will offer a snapshot of twentieth century London. In the human figures, personal relationships and interiors, a city at the crossroads of ideas emerges in paint. In collaboration with Tate, in the spring of 2026 the Kunstmuseum Den Haag presents a major exhibition on the so-called School of London. Tate is lending around forty-five exceptional works by artists such as Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, David Hockney and Paula Rego, and their lesser-known contemporaries Frank Auerbach, R.B. Kitaj and Leon ... More
GSTAAD.- Gagosian presenta an exhibition of photographs by Irving Penn in Gstaad, on view from February 14 to April 6, 2026. This marks the gallery’s debut presentation of his work and its first collaboration with the Irving Penn Foundation. Irving Penn (1917–2009) stands among the most influential image-makers of the twentieth century, producing photographs that shaped modern fashion, portraiture, and the still life while blurring the boundaries between commercial practice and fine art. Surveying Penn’s work across seven decades, the exhibition showcases a wide range of photographic processes and includes many images originally published in Vogue that have rarely been seen outside the magazine’s pages. Photographs taken in New York and Paris in 1949 and 1950 exemplify Penn’s singular contribution to the look of postwar fashion, aligning his restrained, architectural compositions with the new ...

Seydou Keïta, Untitled [Plate 24], c. 1940-1970s, Gelatin Silver Print, 20" x 24" (51 x 61 cm), Edition of 10 plus 4 artist's proofs
NEW YORK, NY.- Yossi Milo announced representation of the family estate of the Malian master photographer Seydou Keïta (b. 1921, Bamako, Mali; d. 2001, Paris, France). The gallery will debut a selection of images at the 2026 editions of Felix Art Fair in Los Angeles, CA, and the Dallas Art Fair, TX, in advance of a presentation at the gallery to take place in the coming year. The announcement of this project coincides with Seydou Keïta: A Tactile Lens, guest curated by Catherine E. McKinley and currently on view at the Brooklyn Museum – the artist’s largest North American, and most comprehensive global exhibition to date – and with the inclusion of other rare works by Keïta in Ideas of Africa: Portraiture and Political Imagination at the Museum of Modern Art, NY, curated by Oluremi Onabanjo. This partnership centers on prints created from a portfolio of never-before-seen negatives held by Keïta and preserved by the family after his death. Unveiled for the first time at the Brooklyn Mus ... More
AMSTERDAM.- A portrait is conceived. A son writes to his father. A monument is scattered. From 14 February 2026, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam presents πνεῦμα (Ἔλισσα), a solo exhibition by Danh Vo (b. 1975), whose work weaves personal experiences with global histories. Acclaimed for his choreography of space, he brings together his own work, collected objects, and pieces by other artists. Running through the exhibition is an exploration of human intimacy and the conditions that shape how individuals move, endure, and create meaning. For more than two decades, Vo has developed a visual language grounded in displacement. He is drawn to the ways in which power shapes the subject through pleasure and pain, seduction and assimilation. His installations bring together objects, texts, and images marked by war, eros, ambition, and faith. These elements come together to illuminate how historical forces imprint themselves on bodies, materials, ... More

Dominique White, All Great Powers Collapse from the Centre, exhibition view, Kunsthalle Basel, 2026, photo: Philipp Hänger / Kunsthalle Basel.
BASEL.- Dominique White (b. 1993) transforms the galleries of Kunsthalle Basel into a series of charged environments with her sculptures. Moving through All Great Powers Collapse from the Centre evokes the feeling of submersion. The space feels weighty, like water, as if walking along an ocean floor where orientation shifts and measures begin to dissolve. What appears are not intact objects but remnants. These are fractured bodies and broken structures, shaped by corrosion and bearing the marks of rupture. They resist classification. They resemble evidence of a collapse that has already begun. At the center of this exhibition is the figure of the ship. Not a single vessel, but a shifting and layered form. The ship emerges as a motif of organized power, extraction, movement, and border-making. It is the warship, the cargo carrier, the asylum seekers’ vessel, the fishing ... More

NYU Abu Dhabi revisits the radical legacy of the Baghdad Modern Art Group ABU DHABI.- The NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Art Gallery presents All Manner of Experiments: Legacies of the Baghdad Modern Art Group. It is curated by art historian Nada Shabout, Senior Investigator at al Mawrid Arab Center for the Study of Art, and faculty at NYU Abu Dhabi. The exhibition examines the radical legacy of the Baghdad Modern Art Group and its enduring influence on contemporary Iraqi art, tracing how Iraqi artists forged a modern visual language from Baghdad during a pivotal era of nation-building and decolonization. Founded in 1951 by artists Jewad Selim (1919–1961) and Shakir Hassan Al Said (1925–2004), the Baghdad Modern Art Group emerged as Iraq grappled with the cultural and political aftermath of colonial rule. Rejecting narrow definitions of “Islamic art,” the Group developed new artistic approaches that drew on abstraction, calligraphy, ... More
Albanian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale presents Genti Korini: A Place in the Sun VENICE.- The Albanian Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale presents A Place in the Sun, a moving-image installation by Albanian artist Genti Korini, curated by Polish curator and art critic Małgorzata Ludwisiak. Within the three-channel video work, live acting, puppetry, animation and an original sonic score converge to form a fictional theater staged in Zaum—a transrational experimental language developed by Russian Futurist poets in the early 20th century. Zaum was created as a “pure language” without any grammar and syntax rules, meant to decompose the social order. The artist uses the irrationality of Zaum to take the viewer to the limits of language, and beyond the possibility of communication, to allow them to create a space where anything can be said anew. On the one hand, the exhibition diagnoses Albania as a “somewhere place,” invariably defined by external ... More

Stripping the innocence: Kaari Upson's first German retrospective opens at Kunsthalle Mannheim MANNHEIM.- The American artist Kaari Upson (1970–2021) was one of the most prominent voices of her generation. In her sculptures, installations, videos and drawings, she questions the boundaries of memory, identity and social reality, transforming personal biographical experiences from her California homeland into universal human stories. Upson received international attention through her participation in the Venice Biennale in 2019. Her work has also been honoured at the Kunsthalle Mannheim. Already in 2020, works by the artist were shown here for the first time and the work Mother’s Legs was acquired for the collection. Now follows the first major museum retrospective in Germany, which invites an intensive encounter with an artist whose work continues to touch, disturb and fascinate us even after her early death. Highlights of the exhibition include the installation ... More
Haverkampf Leistenschneider opens first solo exhibition with painter Anne Buckwalter BERLIN.- What’s in a kiss? It could be everything or nothing; the momentous climax of the story, or only its tentative beginning. There are every day, routine kisses, and desperate, pleading kisses. There are flirtatious kisses that project a world but (agonizingly, deliciously) do not promise it. Sometimes a kiss makes the floor fall out from under you, as in Buckwalter’s A Kiss from the Moon, where the vertical wood grain of floorboards becomes a vertiginous drop, while the moon’s cheeks are kissed from either side by the edges of curtains, making a beam of light fall across a pair of thighs draped over the end of the bed. In this new body of work by Anne Buckwalter, the delirium of intimacy and furtive erotic encounters is contrasted with the prim order of ornately patterned interiors. Inspired by the decorative crafts of Pennsylvanian Dutch, the opulent floral wallpaper designs ... More
Victoria Miro unveils Isaac Julien's immersive meditation on transformation and posthuman futures LONDON.- Victoria Miro is presenting the world premiere of the five-screen installation of Isaac Julien’s acclaimed film installation All That Changes You. Metamorphosis, accompanied by new photographic works. All That Changes You. Metamorphosis, 2025, is a vivid, sweeping, visual poem about change, what it means to transform, to adapt and to survive. Commissioned to celebrate 500 years of Palazzo Te, Mantua, Italy (where it is currently on view) and exhibited here for the first time as a five-screen installation, Julien’s latest work moves between science fiction, philosophy, ecology and art, imagining new forms of life and identity beyond the human. The work draws inspiration from thinkers who explore how transformation shapes who we are and how we live, including writers Octavia Butler, Naomi Mitchison, Ursula K. Le Guin and philosopher Donna Haraway. Their ideas ... More
Unchained.Art Contemporary Gallery announces capsule exhibition 'Artist in Focus: Neil Tye' AUSTIN, TX.- British-born, Denmark-based artist Neil Tye presents a focused body of work centered on The Things We Carry, an ongoing exploration of inner burden, memory, and the emotional loads we carry through life. Through painting and newly introduced sculptural elements, Tye examines how the invisibly accumulated weight is held, shared, and released, both physically and emotionally. Tye’s practice is intuitive and process driven. He does not begin with a fixed concept, instead allowing movement, gesture, and mark-making to guide each work as it develops. Forms accumulate and press against one another, finding balance through tension and restraint. Color carries emotional weight, while line functions as structure, rhythm and containment. The Things We Carry builds on a body of work first presented in Houston and expands in Austin with new sculptures, ... More
"Absences répétées" at Air de Paris inspires an intimate meditation on solitude, memory and rebirth PARIS.- Absences Répétées opens with the voice of Jeanne Moreau. Carried by a fragile melody, imbued with a sense of romantic urgency, it seems to be addressing François, the film’s protagonist—a novelistic hero glimpsed at first only fleetingly, lying on his bed, bathed in light. Beautiful and young, gentle and somber, he laughs before breaking down in tears. Fired from his monotonous job at a bank—where he now goes only a few days a week to secretly consume heroin—he shuts himself away at home, surrendering to despair. “While I am alone in my room, outside life goes on,” he says. Moreau’s voice could well be that of François’s girlfriend, unhappy to love a being constantly on the run; or that of his mother, whose desperate visits lead nowhere. Or perhaps it is the voice of his best friend, who has managed to escape this self destructive world, for whom François ... More
Dreams of various length explores Surrealism in Latvian printmaking under Soviet rule RIGA.- From 14 February to 16 August 2026, as part of The Generation cycle, the exhibition Dreams of Various Length is on view in the right wing galleries of the 2nd floor of the main building of the Latvian National Museum of Art in Riga (Jaņa Rozentāla laukums 1) revealing manifestations of Surrealism in Latvian printmaking during the 1970s and 1980s. The exhibition focuses on interpretations of Surrealism in the oeuvre of eight graphic artists – Māris Ārgalis (1954–2008), Ilmārs Blumbergs (1943–2016), Valija Brence (1941–2009), Maija Dragūne (1945), Arthur Nikitin (1936–2022), Aija Ozoliņa (1932–2023), Māra Rikmane (1939), and Lolita Zikmane (1941). Currently not equally known and studied, these talented authors worked under Soviet occupation in the 1970s and 80s, when Surrealism, alongside Abstractionism, was placed on the list of art directions undesirable ...
