LOS ANGELES, CA.- Annette Bourrut Lacouture, President of the Jules Breton Foundation, and a direct descendant of Jules Breton and his daughter Virginie, is pleased to announce the expansion of the Foundation’s research program with a major new initiative. Alongside the ongoing preparation of the Catalogue Raisonné of drawings by Jules Breton (1827–1906), the Foundation has now begun work on the Catalogue Raisonné of his daughter, Virginie Demont-Breton (1859–1935). This new project reflects the Foundation’s commitment to supporting the broader artistic legacy of the Breton family. With exclusive access to the extensive Breton family archives including family diaries, letters and sketchbooks, the Jules Breton Foundation is uniquely qualified to complete this work. A central figure in advancing women’s participation in the arts at the end of the nineteenth century, Virginie Demont-Breton helped establish, together with her husband, the painter Adrien Demont, the École de Wissant, which brought together F ...

NEW YORK, NY.- For nearly 100 years, Fire Island has served as a haven for queer individuals from around the world. An hour and a half from New York City, the slender barrier island has also been a source of creative inspiration for its residents and visitors. Fire Island Art: 100 Years is the first book to explore the visual history of the island, presenting the great artworks created there since the 1930s. Fire Island Art tells this history decade by decade over fifteen chapters, each one dedicated to a group of artists who made significant strides in their work while living there or visiting. Well-known artists feature prominently: Richard Avedon, Paul Cadmus, David Hockney, Peter Hujar, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Andy Warhol; while stories of lesser known historical artists are explored and revealed with rarely and never-before published material. The book also features contemporary and emerging practitioners, including TM Davy, Nicole Eisenman, ... More
André Kertész, Landing Pigeon, New York, March 2, 1960.
NEW YORK, NY.- Bruce Silverstein Gallery announced Between Order and Chaos: André Kertész and M. C. Escher, an exhibition that brings together two extraordinarily influential artists who each uniquely and independently redefined how visual reality is perceived. Though one worked with the camera and the other with the tools of printmaking, both artists pursued parallel investigations into perception, geometry, and illusion, treating order and chaos not as abstract opposites but as interdependent conditions through which reality is structured and transformed. The exhibition will feature a focused selection of original prints by M. C. Escher alongside vintage photographs by André Kertész spanning his eight-decade career, many of which have never before been exhibited. Born within four years of one another, André Kertész (Budapest, 1894–New York, 1985) and M. C. Escher (Leeuwarden, 1898–Laren, 1972) each pursued independent paths apart from the dominant artistic movements of ... More
Pao Houa Her (born 1982), “untitled (opium flower with pink fabric)”, 2019, printed 2022. Archival pigment print. Museum purchase.
SYRACUSE, NY.- The Syracuse University Art Museum has acquired nearly 100 works of art in 2025, significantly expanding contemporary perspectives in its permanent collection while strengthening its holdings in works on paper, which includes more than 22,000 objects spanning printmaking, photography, and drawing, as well as ceramics. The acquisitions reflect the museum’s ongoing commitments to centering diverse contemporary voices and deepening areas of collection strength. New works expand the museum’s holdings in ceramics, particularly South American Indigenous ceramics with Julia Isídrez’s ceramic sculpture of Guarani mythical creature, “Teju Jagua”. The acquisitions also introduce new materials and media, including a painting made by pouring acrylic mixed with polymers, “Contrapuntal” by Jill Nathanson, while adding critical contemporary works that address subjects central to the ...

Portrait of Professor Harold E. Edgerton training a stroboscope on a machine tool, 1937.
CAMBRIDGE, MASS.- Today, the MIT Museum announces Freezing Time: Edgerton and the Beauty of the Machine Age, exploring the legacy of Harold “Doc” Edgerton and his contributions to the field of photography as a scientist, researcher and beloved MIT professor of electrical engineering. The exhibition will include machines, as well as once famous but forgotten photographs, taking a new look at the inventions that enabled the manipulation of time and light. On view February 5, 2026 to August 2, 2026, Freezing Time is the third new major exhibition unveiled during MIT Museum’s inaugural thematic focus on TIME. “Doc” Edgerton, largely recognized as a pioneering figure of modern photography, is credited for plucking the stroboscope, usually found in the lab, from its obscurity and harnessing its power to capture fractions of a second in time on film, using strobes to freeze objects in motion so that they could be photographed. His innovation led to significant advancements ... More

PARIS.- Mitterrand is presenting a group exhibition entitled From Line to Matter, until January 31, 2026, in both its Paris galleries. Bringing together major figures of American Minimal and Post-Minimal art, the exhibition offers a cross-disciplinary view on a generation of artists who transformed sculptural and pictorial practices starting in the 1960s. Through a selection of distinctive works, it explores the fundamental principles of these artistic movements: formal reduction, raw materiality, repetition, the relationship to the body and space, and the physical experience of the artwork. Carl Andre's horizontal structures, Fred Sandback's taut lines, Richard Nonas' repetitive modules and Robert Morris' suspended volumes activate a new relationship between the work, the space and the viewer, based on direct, sensory and physical experience rather than representation. Judd, major theorist of Minimalism, developed a series ... More
Installation view of "Contemporary Craft: Ernst Gamperl“, MK&G. Photo: Henning Rogge.
HAMBURG.- Artist Ernst Gamperl’s “Tree of Life Project” comprises around 100 wooden objects - sculptural vessels in various shapes and sizes – made from the wood of a 230-year old oak tree. The series is the outcome of years of exploring both material and form. At the outset of his career, Gamperl already developed his signature artistic language – one that goes beyond the usual rules and conventions. He has radically revitalised the historical technique of woodturning, updating it for the present day. The Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg is dedicating an exhibition to the wood turner from 22 November 2025 to 26 April 2026 as part of the series “Contemporary Craft”, which showcases the work of contemporary craftspeople. The trunk of an old oak tree that was uprooted in a storm in Rott am Inn, Bavaria, in 2008, served Gamperl as the starting point for his extensive, ten-year project. To machine the mighty tree, which weighed around 33 tons, he expanded his w ... More
Viswanadhan, Sans titre, 2006. Casein on canvas, 210 x 210 x 3 cm (82 5/8 x 82 5/8 x 1 1/8 inches).
PARIS.- Galerie Nathalie Obadia will present Indian artist Viswanadhan’s first solo exhibition at its Paris gallery, 91 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 75008. On view, there will be fifteen works produced by the artist between 2000 and 2010, showing his various evolutions. This selection reveals paintings with changing chromatic palettes, where red gradually asserts itself as the dominant color. Known as one of the leading figures of the contemporary art scene, Viswanadhan is able to blend tradition and modernity, in an approach that is at once intimate and universal. Born in 1940 in Kadavoor, in Kerala, Viswanadhan grew up in an environment steeped in culture and spirituality, influenced by the traditions of the Vishwakarma caste of craftsmen, architects, painters and sculptors. It is in this context that, as a child, he was introduced to the sculpting of idols and to mandalas, the sacred geometric figures used in Hindu and Tantric rituals. These early explorations of color, form and ... More
Yoab Vera, Spirit of Hope: pausa - promesas del instante (New Year), 2025. Oil, oil-stick, and concrete on canvas, framed, 70 7/8 x 51 1/8 in. (180 x 130 cm.).
NEW YORK, NY.- Alexander Berggruen will present Yoab Vera: Spirit of Hope — Sueños Diurnos. Our second solo show with the artist, this exhibition will open Wednesday, January 21, 2026 with a 5-7 pm reception at the gallery (1018 Madison Avenue, Floor 3, New York, NY). Thought is happiness, even where it defines unhappiness: by enunciating it. By this alone happiness reaches into the universal unhappiness. Whoever does not let it atrophy has not resigned. — Theodor Adorno, “Resignation” Painting, like all art, is a fundamentally hopeful activity. When true to its origin in the imagination—an intuitive reflection on the possibilities perceived in the world—painting participates in the process of transforming reality by expressing its need for change. Art is born from a lack, fixating on those aspects of life which, in the normal course of existence, do not count for much but can, within the scope of the artwork, be ... More
Erin Lawlor, the hours (gloaming), 2024, Oil on canvas, 71 x 47 1/4 inches, 180.3 x 120 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery is presenting new works by Erin Lawlor in her third solo exhibition with the gallery. On view 8 January through 14 February 2026 at 525 West 22nd Street, the exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated publication featuring an essay by Emily Steer. Erin Lawlor’s bold new body of work continues her long-standing exploration of abstraction as a site where art-historical, cultural, and mythological narratives intertwine. These new paintings surge with swirling, sumptuous strokes—brushwork that channels the chromatic depth of Old Master landscapes while pushing into a realm entirely her own. Hints of rarefied pinks and blues emerge from rich, autumnal grounds, as though the palette of a 17th-century portrait had been lifted, loosened, and reconstituted through a contemporary hand. Lawlor’s embrace of increased scale, velocity, and exuberance marks a shift toward a more assertive yet still playful visual language. Her ... More
Koka Ramishvili, Study for Parsifal, 2025. Oil on canvas, 50 x 40 cm (19 3/4 x 15 3/4 in.)
ZURICH.- Lullin + Ferrari presents the second exhibition of the Swiss-Georgian artist Koka Ramishvili (born 1956 in Tbilisi, Georgia; living in Geneva since 2000) at the gallery. In his exhibition Coordinates, the multimedia artist focuses exclusively on the medium of oil painting. As the title suggests, Koka Ramishvili sets “coordinates” within the gallery space: on the one hand, he explores the possibilities of painting in each individual work; on the other, he establishes relationships between the paintings, thereby creating atmospheric spaces of resonance. His oil paintings are situated between abstraction and figuration. Unlike some of his other bodies of work, they do not refer to an art-historical or theoretical framework. Rather, in Koka Ramishvili’s own words, they are pure, simple, and deeply personal paintings that ask for close observation. They reveal the joy of the free life of colour in its dissolution or in the formation of an image, and ... More
Susanne Kessler, 014 - layered from 2007 onwards: 4 layers, 2017 - 2025. Charcoal, ink, printed foil, thread on paper, 21 × 29.5 cm.
LONDON.- October Gallery will present an exhibition which brings together the work of Susanne Kessler, Elisabeth Lalouschek, Theresa Weber, Eleanor Lakelin, Junko Mori, Bev Butkow, Golnaz Fathi, Tian Wei, El Anatsui and Gerald Wilde amongst others. Lineages explores the employment of line within these artists’ practice, in which the notion of line is not confined to the drawn mark, but emerges as a connective thread in concept and form. Each selected work examines where lines become pathways across histories, environment, languages and materials. Susanne Kessler’s works on paper, collages, paintings, sculptures and installations investigate line - in all its manifestations. At stake is not the spatial implications of these many lines alone, but their transformative ability to tie together her vast body of work. Kessler’s spatial drawings treat line as a site of memory and ... More

Choong Sup Lim transforms Shin Gallery into a poetic yard NEW YORK, NY.- Shin Gallery is presenting Yard (마당, Madang), a solo exhibition of the works of Choong Sup Lim. Yard alludes to a place in a figurative sense—a poetic abstraction ‘mind space’—an experimental freedom that blurs divisions in humankind and embraces the modernized mundane. Growing up in Jincheon, Korea, Choong Sup Lim (b. 1941) has sought to escape categories and affiliations, seeking a place “in-between” tradition and modernity. His deep devotion to introspection and remembrance, affinity for classical philosophy, and familial connections all play a formative role deeply akin to his artistic imagination today. Rather than looking externally to draw traditions and patterns, Lim looks inwards, “digging his heart out”, and letting his spirit guide his works to completion. Lim described his intuitive process: “Ten years ago I made a part of the temple, three ... More
Lyman Allyn Art Museum presents Photography and the Painted Image NEW LONDON, CONN.- Lyman Allyn Art Museum announces the opening of Photography and the Painted Image, an exhibition exploring the long and creative exchange between photography and painting, highlighting the ways in which the two mediums have overlapped and complemented each other. This exhibition is on view Jan. 17 through Apr. 12, 2026. The first gallery (Miles) introduces the painted backdrop, a hallmark of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century portrait studios. These elaborate hand-painted scenes framed sitters within idealized interiors or imaginary landscapes. The second gallery (Powers) turns to the painted photograph itself — images enhanced, tinted or radically transformed through the application of pigment. Ranging from subtle hand-coloring to bold overpainting, these works blur the line between photography and painting. The third ... More
Gabriella Boyd explores the fragility of connection in Amsterdam debut AMSTERDAM.- GRIMM is presenting a solo exhibition of new paintings by Scotland-born artist Gabriella Boyd, on view at the Amsterdam gallery until February 7, 2026. This is her first solo exhibition in Amsterdam (NL). In 2024, Boyd held her first institutional solo exhibition, Presser, at Cample Line in Dumfriesshire, Scotland (UK). During the same year, she completed a residency with The Roberts Institute of Art in Scotland, where she began developing the body of work that would form her solo exhibition in Amsterdam. In 2026, Boyd will have a solo exhibition at the Yuz Museum, Shanghai (CN). In 1995, the British philosopher Gillian Rose published Love’s Work, her bright and courageous memoir. She brims with earthy wisdom throughout: ‘You be weaker than the whole world but you are always stronger than yourself. Let me send my power against my power. So what if I die. Let ... More
Galleri Magnus Karlsson presents Carl Hammoud's seventh solo exhibition at the gallery STOCKHOLM.- The exhibition presents new paintings and drawings with an intentionally rich variety of motifs, such as landscapes, interiors, and still lifes. The new works are sourced from Hammoud’s own snapshots, found photographs, illuminated still lifes, and digital collages. The exhibition’s lengthy title is intended to both mislead and invite deeper interpretation. The word ”manipulate” can refer to how one masters something by hand, but also to the cognitive influence on a person or an event. For Hammoud, studio work often involves balancing an intuitive process while considering history and the content of the works. ”I think it can be likened to an intellectual reasoning, where the relevance of the source material underscores a line of thought that can be tested against the arbitrariness of the present. The process oscillates between intention and outcome, ... More
Léonard Martin subverts festive waste in first Templon solo show PARIS.- For his first exhibition at the Galerie Templon in Paris, young French artist Léonard Martin is presenting works created during his residency in New Orleans, as part of the Villa Albertine, the prestigious artist residency program of the French Institute. The exhibition brings together some fifteen new paintings and a sculpture, recounting the artist’s American experience. “Chef Menteur”a title borrowed from a highway crossing New Orleans, evokes the uncertain boundary between appearance and truth. Plunged into the heart of a Louisiana marked by social and racial tensions, climate change, and ecological disasters, the artist chose to explore carnival, that paradoxical space where burlesque rubs shoulders with tragedy, where madness responds to the rigors of an overwhelmed world. A place of crossroads and contrasts, the New Orleans carnival brings together ... More
Gretchen Bender's critiques of corporate cinema return after 35 years BERLIN.- Sprüth Magers is presenting Gretchen Bender’s series Top Ten Grossing Films of 1988, shown for the first time since their 1989 debut. Ten sculptures, made of black crumpled heat-set vinyl, backlit by neon, feature the titles of 1988’s highest-grossing films, such as Die Hard, Coming to America and Crocodile Dundee II. Compiled by Bender during her constant scrutinising of Hollywood production dailies and magazines, these titles represent that year’s cultural identity as defined by box office success. When researching the film industry, Bender discovered that what was portrayed as an “entertainment” industry was in fact driven by political and financial interests. In this context, the ten titles are revealed not as cultural success stories but as the most consumed products of those influences—reflecting both corporate control over production and audiences’ uncritical ...

JD Malat Gallery Dubai unites 13 global artists for "Elements of Light" DUBAI.- JD Malat Gallery Dubai is presenting Elements of Light, a landmark group exhibition bringing together thirteen distinguished artists whose practices have shaped the gallery’s 2025 programme. Spanning abstraction, figuration, conceptual minimalism, and sculptural form, the exhibition celebrates a year of artistic dialogue, international collaboration, and the diverse visual languages that have animated the gallery’s presence in Dubai. Elements of Light reflects on illumination in its broadest sense – light as atmosphere, rhythm, memory, perception, and emotional charge. Across painting and sculpture, the works explore how light shapes material and mood: gliding across metal surfaces, expanding through chromatic fields, softening contours, or piercing through gestural marks. From minimalist structures to expressive gestures and luminous horizons, ... More
"Fields Unbound" at Bernhard Knaus Fine Art reimagines the future of expanded painting FRANKFURT.- The group exhibition Fields Unbound brings together four artistic positions – Lucienne O’Mara, Anna Leonhardt, Giacomo Santiago Rogado and Albrecht Schnider – whose works re-examine the possibilities and limits of painterly practice. Here, painting no longer appears as a neatly defined discipline, but as an open field that enters into dialogue with material, space and perception. Traditionally, painting has been understood as the art of the surface: pigment on canvas, bound to gesture, composition and pictorial space. Yet contemporary painterly practice has moved far beyond this definition. It breaks open the classical notion of the panel painting and seeks expansion through movement, temporality, process and perception. The term “expanded painting” – repeatedly invoked since the 1960s – points to this act of opening: painting is no longer defined solely ... More
Four friends unite for landmark group showcase at Paul Thiebaud Gallery SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Paul Thiebaud gallery announced the opening of Four Friends: Works by David Fertig, Robert M. Kulicke, Robert Andrew Parker, and Pam Sheehan, on Saturday, January 17, 2026, from 3-5 pm, with a gallery talk at 3:30pm. Exhibiting together for the first time, on view will be fifteen works, including paintings, works on paper, and a hand-colored fine artist book, selected from key areas of each artist’s career. Diverse in their areas of artistic interest, the throughline underpinning each of their careers is an exploration of the limits and possibilities of American Realism. The exhibition will be on view through March 14, 2026. Steeped in the worlds of the past, David Fertig (b. 1946) paints scenes from the Napoleonic era and French Revolution employing loose and dynamic brushstrokes to convey the drama of his subjects – whether an aristocratic ...
