GENEVA.- The Rare Watches live auction on 11 May at the Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues in Geneva will feature the property of the late Quincy Jones.

Led by Joan Mitchell’s La Grande Vallée VII as top lot sold in Asia this season.
HONG KONG.- Following the white glove success of Sunday’s Modern and Contemporary evening sale which saw Joan Mitchell’s La Grande Vallée VII – direct underbid by a collector in their 20s - surpass the HK$100M benchmark to become the top lot sold in Asia this season (and the top lot of the city’s spring auction week), the past 36 hours saw three auction records achieved, for Eugène Carrière, Kim Lim and Ugo Rondinone, and multiple new benchmarks set, including Mark Rothko’s No. 10 (underbid by a collector in their 30s), a record for a work from the artist’s Multiform series which sold for nearly twice its high estimate. Asia’s modern masters also garnered strong results including all works by Sanyu and Zao Wou-Ki finding buyers across the two sales, and a work by Wu Guanzhong attracting seven bidders with 32 bids placed, ultimately selling for nearly three times its high estimate ...

MILAN.- Pirelli HangarBicocca presents The House That Jack Built, the first retrospective dedicated to Rirkrit Tiravanija’s architectural and spatial research. In the Navate space, visitors navigate through a gigantic maze where each encounter becomes an opportunity to share experiences of leisure, rest, care, conviviality, and participation. Rirkrit Tiravanija (Buenos Aires, 1961; currently living and working in New York, Berlin, and Chiang Mai, Thailand) has profoundly reshaped our understanding of artistic practice by constantly questioning the very definition of a work of art. Since the 1990s, the artist has centered his practice on social engagement, often encouraging visitors to interact with and actively participate in his works. The retrospective The House That Jack Built, curated by Lucia Aspesi ... More
Johanna Calle, Arquitecturas (centro naranja), 2023, signed and dated on the back, nail polish on chromogenic print (anonymous photograph), 3.5 x 3.5 in, 8.9 x 8.9 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Bienvenu Steinberg & C presents Arquitecturas, an exhibition by Colombian artist Johanna Calle and her second solo show in New York. Curated by Alexis Fabry, the exhibition centers on two recent bodies of work, Arquitecturas and Abstractas, in which the artist intervenes small format chromogenic prints drawn from anonymous photographic archives, by applying nail polish or by removing parts of the surface emulsion, furthering her ongoing conceptual exploration of drawing, photography, and archival material. Arquitecturas reflects a shift in Calle’s practice toward additive intervention. Through the precise chromatic application of nail polish layers, she reconfigures the visual structures embedded in these images, isolating architectural elements and spatial rhythms. Calle has described her works as “photographic drawings” concerned with defining ... More
PARIS.- David Zwirner announced Henri, Egypt...Bette, Bear, an exhibition of new and recent canvases, multipanel works, and works on paper by British artist Rose Wylie at the gallery’s location in Paris. Marking Wylie’s eighth solo show with the gallery and her first ever in Paris, Henri, Egypt...Bette, Bear coincides with her largest ever survey exhibition in the United Kingdom, currently on view at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, until 19 April 2026. Wylie has become known for her uniquely recognisable, colourful, and exuberant compositions that appear aesthetically candid, not seeming to align with any discernible style or movement, but on closer inspection are revealed to be wittily observed and subtly sophisticated meditations on the nature of visual representation itself. The artist has long been interested in exploring perspectival and compositional strategies other than—and along with—traditional Renaissance perspective, frequently making numerous ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Galerie Lelong, New York, presents Color is Supreme, an exhibition dedicated to the work of the late artist Ficre Ghebreyesus. Titled after an homage to the John Coltrane album A Love Supreme written by Ghebreyesus in his personal papers, the exhibition highlights Ghebreyesus’s deft handling of vibrant color in his often-abstract compositions. Drawing from recent discoveries in the artist’s archive by his son Solomon Ghebreyesus, the exhibition presents a selection of photographs and ephemera to the public for the first time, revealing common subjects and compositions found across media. A polymath in the truest sense of the word, Ghebreyesus operated his family’s well-loved Eritrean restaurant in New Haven, excelled in painting at the Yale School of Art, and maintained a connection to the fight for Eritrean independence as an activist in New York, all the while cultivating a rich inner ...

CHICAGO, IL.- Artist Oren Pinhassi sculpts anthropomorphic forms at great scale that appeal to the senses and intellect at once. He brings to The Arts Club of Chicago a series of figural/architectural works that occupy the gallery in an encompassing configuration, aiming to trigger the physical engagements of desire and fragility. On a basic level, Pinhassi’s forms address viewers as beings. They stand erect, though full of bulbous protrusions and seductive orifices. Yet, they refuse to be fully explicit, instead, seeking to communicate in the manner of poetry. Pinhassi’s towering or sprawling creatures draw upon such ordinary materials as sand, stone, or vinyl. In a process he has named “erotic construction,” Pinhassi uses sensual appeal, rough texture, suggestive pose, and intimate detail to press against the confines of a restrictive society. He has further explained, “The cavities in my work—windows, holes—simultaneously reference the most intimate cavities of ... More
Arjan Martins, Untitled, 2026. Courtesy of the artist and A Gentil Carioca. Photography by Pedro Agilson.
NEW YORK, NY.- In his landmark first U.S. solo exhibition, Brazilian painter Arjan Martins (b. 1960, Rio de Janeiro) presents new figure paintings and portraits on canvas. One of the most vital voices in contemporary Brazilian art, Martins has spent more than three decades developing a singular pictorial language that employs images from collective memory to conjure a reality that transcends linear time. The exhibition anticipates an upcoming solo presentation at ICA Milano, on view from June 11 to July 24, 2026. Martins' work navigates the "Black Atlantic", a term associated with theorist Paul Gilroy, invoking symbols of maritime expansion to reflect on the historical triangular trade system and chart the ongoing influences of the Black diaspora. His distinctive, hybrid environments merge the urban, the domestic, and the oceanic to form spaces of dynamic cultural exchange. Music recurs across the exhibition as both image and subject, evoking the circuits by which jazz and the broader traditions of B ... More

Dries Verhoeven transforms the Rietveld Pavilion into 'The Fortress' VENICE.- For the 61st Venice Biennale, artist Dries Verhoeven and curator Rieke Vos present a performance and architectural installation titled The Fortress. The duo takes the Venice Biennale itself as a starting point to explore Western society’s reflex for self-preservation amid major geopolitical uncertainty. The project marks a historic first: it is the first time the Netherlands is represented at the Venice Biennale with a performance, and the first time the Rietveld Pavilion itself becomes an integral part of the artwork. Designed by Gerrit Rietveld and built in the optimistic post-war years of the 1950s, the Dutch Pavilion can be seen as the epitome of openness, progress, and faith in the future. During the Biennale Arte 2026, however, this modernist monument transforms into the antithesis of itself. With steel shutters, the sunlit structure turns its back on the outside ... More
Wilhelm Sasnal explores the duality of 'family / history' at Sadie Coles HQ LONDON.- Wilhelm Sasnal’s exhibition of new paintings at Sadie Coles HQ is titled family / history, a title intended to capture the duality of content in Sasnal's intertwined subject matter, activating with equal energy images from life at home and current affairs. Intimate, affectionate portraits of the artist's interior life and family reappear in his work. But any family history exceeds the comfort of the domestic and sits within a bigger sphere of politics and culture which can shape, expand, disrupt and destabilise. Sasnal describes his paintings as ‘cover versions’ of existing pictures. Always referring to the source material – whether gathered from archived memorabilia or photography he captured himself – each painting hints at a secondary image behind the canvas. The relationship to the original image is reductive: colours shift or simplify, elements are removed, and ... More
80 years of Italian art explored through a tragicomic lens ROME.- “Io sono un santo” (I am a saint), reads the inscription in cursive on a canvas-backed paper, its surface torn by a series of cuts. It is one of the earliest examples of the unmistakable artistic gesture that would make Lucio Fontana famous. The reverse, however, bears the phrase “Io sono una carogna” (I am a scoundrel). This forms an ironic self-portrait, an irreverent take on the rhetoric that sees the artist capable of elevating both themself and the viewer through art. The work is the starting point of Tragicomica. Perspectives on Italian art from the mid-20th century to today, the largest exhibition on the history of contemporary Italian art by the National Museum of 21st-Century Arts. Produced by MAXXI in collaboration with the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève, the exhibition – curated by Andrea Bellini and Francesco Stocchi – brings together over ... More
The Contemporary Dayton presents Amy Dolan: Along the Path DAYTON, OH.- The Contemporary Dayton is presenting Amy Dolan: Along the Path, featuring new work by Dayton-based artist Amy Dolan and is presented as TCD’s April Member Spotlight exhibition that celebrates the vibrant creativity of local and regional artist community. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Dolan’s paintings explore the balance between chaos and harmony, capturing moments that feel both still and in motion. Influenced by her upbringing in upstate New York and the surrounding Finger Lakes region, she is deeply attuned to the ways light, color, and reflection shape our experience of landscape. Each work begins on a black canvas, building outward through layered color, texture, and expressive mark-making. Her intuitive process embraces irregularity and change, allowing compositions to evolve organically. Guided in part by her background ... More
Elise Ansel reimagines Titian and Bellini at Miles McEnery NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery announces Elise Ansel’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, featuring new paintings that add new chapters to her engagement with the great Venetian masters of color: Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione, and Titian. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated publication featuring an essay by Lilly Wei. In these new paintings, Ansel continues her dialogue with art history, viewing the Venetian painters not as revered authorities but as catalysts for her own alchemical practice. By closely analyzing their paintings’ color, composition, and facture—she internalizes their chromatic and structural logic before exploding them onto the canvas as her own. Creation goes hand in hand with destruction. As Wei observes, “Ansel is not a passive admirer, not a copyist in the manner of painters who stand before a painting to reproduce ... More

Virginia Chihota's 'Kupinduka' debuts at CAAC Sevilla SEVILLE.- In The Book of Disquiet, Fernando Pessoa renders existence as a state of suspension, where identity splinters and certainty drift out of reach. His words pulse with unease yet also with clarity: the awareness that incompleteness forms the very condition of being. This atmosphere of disquiet, not as paralysis but as vital force, provides a resonant framework for the work of Virginia Chihota (1983, Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe). In her first solo institutional exhibition, Kupinduka, presented at the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo (CAAC, Sevilla), Chihota brings together paintings, drawings, prints, and large-scale works on paper, including a new series shown for the first time. Her practice is profoundly introspective, shaped by every day and transformative experiences: motherhood and kinship, loss and displacement, memory and faith. Chihota fuses ... More
Non-profit art foundation Kunststiftung an den Kunstmuseen Krefeld is established KREFELD.- The newly established Kunststiftung an den Kunstmuseen Krefeld is now ready to begin its work.
