Robin Nicholson.
ST. PETERSBURG, FL.- The James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art announces the passing of Executive Director Robin Nicholson following a short illness. An accomplished art historian and museum executive, Nicholson served the institution since June 2023. Under Nicholson’s leadership, The James Museum continued its growth as a premier cultural destination and a center for learning in the St. Petersburg community.

He brought more than 15 years of executive leadership to the museum, having previously served as Executive Director of the Frick Pittsburgh and the Telfair Museums in Savannah, and as Deputy Director of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

Stills from Claudia Bitrán's Titanic, A Deep Emotion, 2013-24.
NEW YORK, NY.- Cristin Tierney Gallery is presenting Titanic, A Deep Emotion, a solo exhibition, installation, and film by Claudia Bitrán. This marks the highly anticipated New York City premiere of her remake of Titanic (1997) and the artist's second solo show with the gallery. The exhibition opens Friday, February 20th, and will be on view through March 28th. For more than a decade, Claudia Bitrán has been remaking James Cameron's Titanic through an extensive collaborative process that spans film, painting, sculpture, drawing, animation, performance, and scenography. Using lo-fi materials, deliberately visible methods of production, DIY processes, and spontaneous casting, Bitrán meticulously reconstructs the original film scene-by-scene at an intimate scale. The project has involved more than 1,400 participants across the United States, Chile, and Mexico, who have contributed as actors, crew members, and collaborators, allowing the work to take shape and evolve through collective labor and improvi ...

NEW YORK, NY.- GR Gallery presents Purgatory, a group exhibition featuring works by Jordan Sullivan, Robert Martin, Jacob Rochester, and RUMINZ. The exhibition brings together 16 paintings influenced by outsider art, rural aesthetics, and Americana, creating a cross-cultural dialogue that bridges diverse styles and backgrounds. Collectively, the works unfold as a contemporary grand tour, placing themes of self-discovery and revelation at their core. Purgatory focuses on raw, unfiltered depictions of suburban and everyday life, rendered with a crude yet deliberate realism. Through an unabashed visual language, the exhibition confronts current social realities, offering an honest and direct reflection on the tensions and complexities of contemporary society. Purgatory seeks to highlight specific subcultural and civic dimensions of American society through a timely and incisive examination of uncomfortable and unsettling narratives—stories that have long remained unwritten, deliberately obscured, s ...

Peter Frie, Untitled, 2025. Oil on canvas, 180 x 120 cm. 70 7/8 x 47 1/4 in. Copyright The Artist. Photo: Angel Gil.
HELSINKI.- Peter Frie’s landscapes emerge from memory and sensation. Among the images etched most deeply in his mind are childhood days spent mushrooming with his mother. Roaming beneath tall trees, across sunlit meadows, and along narrow paths, time seemed to stand still. Through these early experiences, the artist came to understand the immense power and significance of nature. Over the course of his long career, he has painted countless desolate landscapes in which trees serve as the sole point of orientation. Frie’s work draws on the historic legacy of landscape painting, particularly the tradition of treating landscape as an intensely charged emotional state. His paintings shift attention away from rational description toward subjective experience: nature becomes a vehicle for the expression of deep feeling. His work evokes a longing for something ineffable, inviting viewers into dreamlike vistas where misty horizons, low-hanging clouds, and fleeting glimmers of sunlight create a t ... More
Video sketches - Bogna Burska, video sketches for the ‘Liquid Tongues’, photos by: Magda Mosiewicz, performers: Bogna Burska, Daniel Kotowski, courtesy of the artists.
VENICE.- Liquid Tongues, the project of the Polish Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale, is an audio-video installation that offers a reflection on how we define communication, moving beyond the spoken word to center on the concept of "Deaf Gain", and reframes deafness not as a deficit, but as a distinct culture and identity offering unique sensory perspectives. Featuring Daniel Kotowski, a Deaf artist, as a co-creator alongside artist and playwright Bogna Burska, the Pavilion utilizes accessibility as a lens for experimental inquiry. By centering the clarity of sign language within an aquatic environment, the artists transform the perceived 'limitations' of deafness into a primary site of sensory and communicative potential. At the core of the installation is the Choir in Motion (Chór w Ruchu), a group of both hearing and Deaf performers who interpret communication codes through International Sign (IS) and spoken English. The project highlights that dominant forms of communication are entirely ... More
Portrait Sue Williams. Courtesy 303 Gallery, New York. Photo by Lina Bertucci.
VIENNA.- Belvedere 21 is presenting Sue Williams: WHAT NOW, the most comprehensive exhibition to date on American artist Sue Williams (*1954 in Chicago Heights, Illinois), offering a new perspective on an oeuvre that is both personal and political—radical, pointedly humorous, and abidingly relevant. From 1997 to 1999, Sue Williams was a visiting professor and led the master class for representative painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Her teaching activities and exchanges with a younger generation of artists in Vienna—including Katrin Plavčak and Sevda Chkoutova—form another backdrop to this exhibition. Belvedere General Director Stella Rollig: Sue Williams has created a body of work that is deeply personal yet also addresses intensely controversial social issues. Especially in today’s global political climate, it is important to us to be a platform for feminist positions that uncompromisingly center on power structures, violence, and the conditions of freedom. Williams has been ex ... More

BERLIN.- “On the occasion of its 80th anniversary, Haus am Waldsee reflects on the constellation of conditions that has informed its history: it is a place, a social construct, and a spatial structure, which has shaped an artistic programme on the shores of the Waldsee for eight decades. In the anniversary year of 2026, Haus am Waldsee will explore these historical interrelations of place, life, and art through a wide-ranging programme of exhibitions and events. At the same time, it looks ahead, understanding itself as an active agent of its own history – from which it continues to generate new artistic impulses for the present and for what is yet to come.” —Anna Gritz, Director Gianna Surangkanjanajai (b. in Cologne, lives in New York) works primarily in sculpture. She attends to situations in which form develops in relation to its surroundings. Her works draw on geometric structures, yet these figures appear less as fixed shapes than as points of departure. Often transparent, they hold subst ... More
Kate Hargrave, Woodpecker Habitat, 2026. Oil on panel, 60 × 57 in.
NEW YORK, NY.- There are no parents in Kate Hargrave’s paintings of childhood. Her young figures, which appear in poses drawn from both art history and the visual relics of popular culture, inhabit a self-directed realm, unbound by the conventions or temporality of our own society. Over twenty years of working independently in her studio in Maine while raising her own children, Hargrave has used the painting techniques of the old masters to create a world outside of time. Titled after an antiquated term for baby teeth, present for only a few fleeting years between infancy and middle childhood, MILK TEETH is her first exhibition in New York. With these new paintings, Hargrave reimagines the non-time of youth. Hargrave returns again and again to the same figures and postures, which she has adapted from a personal archive of images that spans from Early Renaissance paintings of Madonna and child to Thomas Gainsborough’s romanticized eighteenth-century peasants to 1970s Holly Hobbie coloring bo ...

PARIS.- The Albert-Kahn Museum’s current exhibition, A Return Trip to Benin. Shared Perspectives on Dahomey, from 1930 to today (Bénin aller-retour. Regards sur le Dahomey de 1930), offers a reinterpretation of the films and photographs produced during a mission to Dahomey (now Benin) led from January to May 1930 by Catholic missionary Francis Aupiais and camera operator Frédéric Gadmer for Albert Kahn’s Archives of the Planet. This immersion, meant as a Franco-Beninese dialogue, questions the views on non-European cultures in a context of colonial rule and the birth of ethnography. Following on from a series of inaugural exhibitions dedicated to travel and gardens, the Albert-Kahn Museum continues to explore the fundamental themes of its collections, this time focusing on perspectives on non-European cultures and the ethnographic dimension of the Archives of the Planet, recently added to the UNESCO “Memory of the World” Register. The 1930 mission to Dahomey was unique in several ways: it was ... More
The photograms on display were created in Brussels in the 2010s—without any camera. They are life-size direct exposures of photographic paper and thus unique works.
COLOGNE.- The Kaune Gallery is presenting original works by American photographer Mark Arbeit, born in Chicago in 1953, who now lives and works in Paris. This retrospective, featuring works from 1979 to 2019, reflects the breadth of his oeuvre and the multifaceted application of his photographic practice: Alongside the well-known Les Atéliers de Paris photographs and large-scale photograms, the exhibition includes selections from his fashion photography and celebrity portraits of Charlotte Rampling, Matt Damon, and Peter Beard, complemented by private photographs by Helmut Newton. A rare Polaroid collage is presented for the first time, made available by the artist as a limited Fine Art Print edition at the request of the gallery. His long-standing friendship and collaboration with Helmut Newton, as well as his early assistance in Irving Penn’s New York studio, had a lasting influence on the development of his photographic language. In 1991, Arbeit moved to Paris, where alongsid ... More

Exquisite Thomas Lawrence portrait discovered in Paris after decades LONDON.- Dickinson announced the recent discovery of an exquisite, previously unrecorded portrait of a lady by Sir Thomas Lawrence, painted around 1805. This captivating portrait was recently discovered in Paris after decades in obscurity. The sitter, an elegant Regency-era woman in flowing white muslin gown and subtle jewellery, gazes directly at the viewer with a poised, introspective expression that captures the essence of Lawrence's genius - combining flattery, psychological insight, and luminous brushwork. By 1805, Lawrence was at the pinnacle of British portraiture, having long since eclipsed his early rivals to become the preferred painter of royalty, aristocracy, and literary figures. This era saw him produce iconic female portraits that captured the romantic spirit of the time, with their soft lighting, refined textures, and an almost ethereal quality that made his subjects appear both idealised and vividly present. Although Lawrence never worked as a painter of pure landscapes, he wor ... More
Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation unveils dual exhibitions in Eschborn ESCHBORN.- The Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation opened two new exhibitions at The Cube on 19 February 2026: “Worlds within Worlds” with works by students from the University of Art and Design Offenbach (HfG) and “Human Topographies.

It brings together 14 artists whose works explore the in-between worlds of our respective realities. In their examination of political, historical and social themes, the boundaries of the medium of photography are probed, altered and expanded. Nelly Habelt’s video shows bodies floating in seemingly eternal stillness. In Lena Bils’ work, cotto ... More

Hauser & Wirth announces representation of the Estate of Carol Rama alongside Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi NEW YORK, NY.- Iwan Wirth, Manuela Wirth and Marc Payot, Presidents of Hauser & Wirth, announced today that the gallery will represent the Estate of Carol Rama alongside Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi, Berlin. Over more than seven decades, Carol Rama (b. 1918, Turin; d. 2015) developed a radical body of work that addressed connections between desire, sacrifice, eroticism and repression. By constructing a visual cosmos where transgression leads to liberation, Rama countered assumptions about gender, sexuality and representation, offering a retort to the societal conventions and the prevailing far-right political ideologies that defined the fascist-dominated Italy of her youth. She set neither boundaries nor hierarchies between painting, drawing, sculpture and printmaking, pulling all of these mediums into her image universe. ‘My self-assurance exists only across from a sheet of paper that needs to be filled in,’ Rama once declared. ‘Work is the only way to drive off my fears. My rebellion consists of pa ... More
Melissa Brown's 'Window Shopping' debuts at Derek Eller Gallery NEW YORK, NY.- Derek Eller Gallery presents Window Shopping, a solo exhibition of new mixed-media paintings by Melissa Brown. Utilizing a combination of screen-printed photographs hybridized with passages painted in impasto or airbrush, Brown mines the rich topography of New York City store windows. With historical precedents like Rauschenberg, Johns, and Warhol who famously engaged with Bonwit Teller’s windows, Brown explores the quirky displays and otherworldly reflections contained within these sites of commerce and longing. She explains: I’m more of a daydreamer than a shopper, but to make these paintings I walked around the city, window shopping. When I was stopped in my tracks by an archetypal merchandise fantasy, like two muses wrapped in flowing, sequined, organza huddled below the caption ‘It's a material world’ in the fabric district on 39th street, I dropped a pin. I returned later to paint a study from life. While standing at an easel and painting each pinned mini-thea ... More
The Whitney's first secretary returns: Mabel Dwight's landmark solo debut opens in New York NEW YORK, NY.- The Whitney Museum of American Art presents Mabel Dwight: Cool Head, Warm Heart, opening February 20, 2026. Celebrating one of the most notable American printmakers of the 1920s and 1930s, this exhibition is Mabel Dwight’s first solo museum exhibition and foregrounds her vivid and elegantly composed portrayals of New York’s people, theaters, streets, and everyday rituals, rendered through a democratic print medium. Born in 1876 and raised in Cincinnati, New Orleans, and San Francisco, Dwight came to New York at the turn of the century as an illustrator and painter, and soon became part of the downtown artistic community. She was an active member of the Whitney Studio Club in the 1910s and became the Studio Club’s first secretary in 1918, working closely with its director, Juliana Force. The Studio Club served as a foundation for what would later go on to be the Whitney Museum of American Art. In 1927, at the age of fifty-two, Dwight began working in lithography and quick ... More
Elizabeth Neel navigates the 'guts' of perception in new Tribeca solo show NEW YORK, NY.- Jack Shainman Gallery announces In the Guts of the Living, an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by Elizabeth Neel, the artist’s first solo presentation with the gallery. Through her singular approach to abstraction, Neel has explored the historical nature of perception and knowledge, while also considering the psychological resonance of natural forms. Taking the historic, beaux-arts architectural features of the gallery’s Tribeca exhibition space as a point of reference, Neel has continued to expand her formal approach and representational language, resulting in works that express the tension between control and chaos particular to our moment in history. Over the past twenty years, Neel has developed an extensive lexicon of gestures while using a wide range of tools and methods, including brushes, rags, rollers and mono-printing techniques requiring human touch. In her compositions, color, movement and form possess their own objecthood while at the same time serv ... More
New exhibition explores the 'sleight of hand' within our subconscious NEW YORK, NY.- albertz benda is pleased to present You Should’ve Been There, a group exhibition curated by Aaron Levi Garvey that examines how memory both illuminates and obscures our understanding of lived experience. The exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists whose works explore the fluid, unreliable, and often poetic nature of recollection. Just as trompe-l’œil in painting can fool one’s eye into believing illusions are reality, memories can also perform their own sleight of hand which causes us to question ourselves and our recollections of individual and collective events. From dates and times of formative experiences with family and friends to professional life events and day-to-day chores, our memories are collected and stored deep in our subconscious constantly. While we often relive memories through conversations and interactions with one another, the slightest mishaps in our recollections can shape new and authentic seeming reconstructions which fill memor ...

Julie Schenkelberg's 'Looking Glass' opens at Asya Geisberg NEW YORK, NY.- Asya Geisberg Gallery presents “Looking Glass,” an exhibition of sculpture and installation by Julie Schenkelberg. Born and based in Cleveland, the artist has long made the industrial Midwest a rich vein for her sculpture, recently adding the shore of Lake Erie to point towards the pastoral. She cuts invasively into buildings and furniture, plunges into hazardous places by sourcing discarded materials from scrap yards, construction sites, abandoned factories, or finding once revered domestic objects from estate sales. Such heterogeneity of scale, texture, and origin is transformed in unexpected combinations as the work mixes high value materials like marble and gold leaf with inauspicious rusted metal or wire mesh. Schenkelberg’s juxtapositions seem hauntingly familiar, regenerating the lost beauty of decaying or forgotten narratives. The show’s title could mean a mirror from the 19th century with sufficient reflection but not fully clear, a portal into an alternate ... More
