Douglas Navarra's Present Tense: Past Participle opens at 68 Prince, Kingston, N.Y.

Douglas Navarra, Untitled, 2015. Gouache, Pencil, Ink, on Found Documents, 16" x 25".

KINGSTON, NY.- 68 Prince is pleased to announce Present Tense: Past Participle, a solo exhibition of new works by Douglas Navarra, on view until November 16th 2025. The exhibition brings together Navarra’s dual practices of drawing and ceramics, each rooted in history yet charged with the immediacy of the present. Navarra’s work unfolds across two intertwined platforms: drawing on found papers, many more than a century old, and the making of vessels in clay. Both practices are acts of mark-making that respond to surfaces already imbued with history. In his drawings, aged documents—creased, stamped, stained, and written upon—become palimpsests. Onto these fragile grounds, Navarra layers his own gestures, engaging in a dialogue between anonymous historical traces and contemporary presence. Each page becomes a meditation on how we encounter our ... More

Johannes Koerbecke (1407–1491), The Vision of St. Bernard, 3rd quarter of the 15th century. Oak, 94 x 78.7 cm. Inv. no. 10644.

MUNICH.- Helene Sophie Victoria Hermine Heintzmann, known as Ellen Funke (1869–1947) of Hamm, was the beneficiary to artworks from the ‘Loeb’sche Fideikommiss’, a major private collection that dated back to the 19th century. Due to her maternal ancestors’ Jewish origins, she was classified as a ‘Mischling of the first degree’ under Nazi rule and was, therefore, subject to systematic persecution. The collection was originally assembled by Alexander Haindorf, a Jewish physician and co-founder of the Westfälischer Kunstverein, on the Caldenhof estate near Hamm, together with his daughter Sophie and her husband Jakob Loeb. The fideicommissum had been dissolved by 1936, by which time the collection was divided among those descendants entitled to inherit who, as Jews or so-called ‘half-Jews’, subsequently faced persecution. Ellen Funke was one of these entitled persons. Her collection comprised 101 works ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Sotheby’s unveils Swinging on a Star: The Private Collection of Kathryn and Bing Crosby, which will be offered in a landmark auction on 18 December. The auction will be a headline event of Sotheby’s inaugural auctions at its new home in the iconic Breuer building on Madison Avenue. This exceptional sale offers an intimate glimpse into the lives, loves, and legacies of two Hollywood legends whose careers shaped the golden age of American entertainment. Drawn from the Crosby family’s private holdings, the auction features an extraordinary array of treasures amassed over decades—from fine art and collectibles to rare Fabergé pieces and objects that reflect the couple’s shared life, travels, and passions. Together, these items illuminate both the glamorous world the Crosbys inhabited and the deeply personal stories behind their collecting. From their serendipitous meeting on the Paramount lot in 1952—when a young Kathryn Grandstaff captivated multimedia star B ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Olney Gleason presents Ali Banisadr: Noble/Savage, at 509 West 27th Street, New York. Spanning new paintings, bronze sculptures, and works on paper, the gallery’s inaugural exhibition explores Banisadr’s singular vision as iterated through a range of media. Banisadr follows an instinctual approach to color and brushwork, informed by visionary representations of inner and outer landscapes by artists including Bruegel, Goya, Albert Pinkham Ryder, Charles Burchfield, and Jackson Pollock. Having recently established a studio in the forests of Hudson Valley New York, several paintings in the exhibition bear the influence of the environment’s density and green palette. For Banisadr, the forest is both a force of nature and a site of metamorphosis. It lies just beyond the boundaries of consciousness, a place one stumbles into as into a daydream, where bearings are lost and instincts surface. Yet it is also the reservoir of civilization itself, supplying the ... More
 

Charlotte Perriand, Fauteuil pivotant, 1927. Galerie Ulrich Fiedler © VG Bild-Kunst Bonn 2025.

KREFELD.- With the exhibition L'Art d'habiter / The Art of Dwelling, the Kunstmuseen Krefeld present the first major retrospective in Germany devoted to French architect and designer Charlotte Perriand (1903–1999). One of the most influential figures in Le Corbusier’s circle, she helped shape modern living by uniting innovative design with a vision for progressive social change. The exhibition is being developed in close collaboration with the Archives Charlotte Perriand and offers a fresh perspective on Perriand’s life’s work through the lens of spatial design. From her early iconic tubular steel furniture and experimental minimalist dwellings of the interwar period, to the modular storage systems of the postwar years and culminating in her most ambitious project – the alpine ski resort Les Arcs – L’Art d’habiter showcases Perriand’s design philosophy and her commitment to shaping living environments as a form of social engagement. Her work proves to ... More


Basquiat's seminal masterwork 'Crowns (Peso Neto)' to make auction debut at Sotheby's   National Gallery of Ireland unveils "Picasso: From the Studio," a journey through the artist's creative spaces   MoMA opens an exhibition of extraordinary photographs from the Thayle Threenhill Collection


Jean-Michel Basquiat, Crowns (Peso Neto), est. $30-45 million. Courtesy Sotheby's.

NEW YORK, NY.- Crowns (Peso Neto), a rare and electrifying masterwork by Jean-Michel Basquiat, will form the centerpiece of Sotheby’s Contemporary Evening Sale this November when it is offered with an estimate of $35-45 million – the highest ever estimate placed on a 1981 painting by the artist. Painted in 1981, the pivotal year that launched Basquiat onto the international stage, the work sees the artist develop and concretize the lexicon of symbols that would define his life and work, from tallies to halos to crowns. The raw canvas elements speak to a critical moment in which Basquiat transitions from the street to the studio, on the dawn of explosive stardom. Offered at auction for the very first time, Crowns (Peso Neto) was unveiled as part of Basquiat’s landmark eponymous solo presentation at Annina Nosei Gallery in March 1982, and the following summer at documenta 7 in Kassel, Germany, where he was among the youngest artists ever invited to participate in one of the ...

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), 'The Studio at La Californie,' 1956. Musée National Picasso-Paris © Succession Picasso / DACS, London 2025 © GrandPalaisRmn (Musee National Picasso-Paris) / Mathieu Rabeau.

DUBLIN.- The National Gallery of Ireland has launched its latest exhibition Picasso: From the Studio, retracing the steps of Picasso’s life through a collection of sculptures, painting and ceramics. Spanning more than 50 years of work, it is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to see so many works by one of the most influential artists of the 20th century in Ireland. The exhibition is organised in collaboration with Musée national Picasso-Paris and proudly supported by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport and KMPG Ireland, Exhibition Partner. Picasso: From the Studio invites visitors to explore the relationship between maker and place in the context of one of the world’s most well-known artists. Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973) lived surrounded by his art. His personal life and his work, his homes and his studios were always ... More
 

Herbert George Ponting. A Grotto in an Iceberg, 1911. Carbon print, 16 x 12 in. (40.6 x 30.5 cm). The Gayle Greenhill Collection. Gift of Robert F. Greenhill.

NEW YORK, NY.- The Museum of Modern Art is presenting Time Travelers: Photographs from the Thayle Threenhill Collection, an exhibition of works from a monumental gift of photographs made in 2019 to the Museum by Robert F. Greenhill in memory of his wife, Gayle Greenhill (1936–2017). A supporter of the Museum’s Department of Photography for more than two decades, Mrs. Greenhill served on MoMA’s Committee on Photography from 1992 to 2013. On view from October 31, 2025, to February 2, 2026, the exhibition honors her enduring commitment to the medium and showcases a selection of more than 50 photographs from the transformative gift of several hundred works by more than 100 identified photographers and many more unknown photographers. Time Travelers: Photographs from the Gayle Greenhill Collection is organized by Lucy Gallun, Curator, with Samuel Allen, Curatorial Assistant, and Kaitlin Booher, former ... More


OGR Torino revisits the pioneers of electronic art from the 1950s to the 1990s   Mendes Wood DM Brussels presents Krzysztof Grzybacz's lyrical new exhibition "To Empty Out"   Sarah van Rij unveils "Humming from the Shadows" at Deichtorhallen Hamburg


Installation view.

TURIN.- OGR Torino presents Electric Dreams. Art & Technology Before the Internet, an exhibition organised in collaboration with Tate Modern and curated by Val Ravaglia and Samuele Piazza, bringing to Turin a new version of the group show first presented in London. Electric Dreams brings together a network of artists inspired by scientific ideas and new technologies, unfolding a series of subtly interlinked stories dedicated to the early pioneers of electronic art – from the 1950s to the eve of the widespread adoption of the Internet in the early 1990s. Working on an international scale, these artists engage with cutting-edge media and hybrid methodologies to expand their creative horizons collectively. Many of them view technology as a shared resource to be directed towards social purposes. Some of the artists featured in the exhibition use electronic media to shape light and sound, while others introduce mathematical principles and algorithms as fully-fledged creative partners. Emergi ... More
 

Krzysztof Grzybacz, Primary Colors, 2025, oil on canvas, 270 x 220 cm.

BRUSSELS.- Mendes Wood DM is presenting Krzysztof Grzybacz’s latest body of work in his first solo exhibition at the gallery in Brussels. Behind its seemingly polished framework, To Empty Out emerges as an exhibition beautifully rife with contradictions that overlay serious and playful themes according to Grzybacz, who often sets out to “clash the forces” of gravity and levity through his chosen subjects. Through sublime florals, bawdy scenes, and raw portraits of social life, Grzybacz balances contemplation and observation, navigating between painterly precision and intuitive expression in this deeply personal exhibition. Grzybacz starts each painting with sketches and drawings, but once confronted with its white plane, the artist gives himself up to the canvas in a stream of consciousness – emptying his psyche out as he follows his intuition in dialogue with the painting’s surface in a spontaneous yet ambitious free-flowing conversation grounded in precision and skill. ...

Sarah van Rij, Mirror Martini, 2023 © Sarah van Rij.

HAMBURG.- With a sensitivity to detail, Dutch photographer Sarah van Rij (*1990) creates fragmentary, timeless, and mysterious compositions that reveal the poetic potential of everyday life. Her shadow theater unfolds through a play of light and dark, form and color, in which silhouettes and recurring objects set the rhythm of a visual score. »HUMMING FROM THE SHADOWS« at the auditorium of the Hall for Contemporary Art is van Rij’s first solo exhibition in Germany and features more than twenty works, some of them large formats, from the last seven years. Van Rij playfully transcends the documentary role of photography, transforming reality into dreamlike, surrealistic images: disembodied hands, martini glasses, and abandoned pumps drift through her pictures like fleeting echoes. Fragmented figures intertwine with floral compositions for evocative and symbolic images to emerge. Deeply embedded in our collective memory, they cast long shadows into the exhibition space. Whether captured with h ... More

Amy Sillman animates emotion in "Minute Cinema: 4 Videos for 4 Seasons" at Capitain Petzel
BERLIN.- Amy Sillman began experimenting with handmade animation in the early 2010s as a way to further extend her practice, which had already expanded to zine-making in 2009. Her short digital videos, often made by scanning or photographing drawings and painting fragments, then sequencing them frame by frame, create a sense of restless transformation. These works occupy a fascinating space between painting, drawing, and the moving image. They feel intimate and provisional, like notes or thoughts caught in motion. Sillman has described animation as “drawing that moves”, and her videos indeed retain the tactile, handmade quality of her studio process. Minute Cinema: 4 videos for 4 seasons (2024–25) was commissioned by The Washington Post, which invited Sillman to create an artwork and write a column once per season for a year. In the politically charged ... More

Marck explores the poetry of water in "Das Wasser" at Bluerider ART Shanghai
SHANGHAI.- Bluerider ART Shanghai·The Bund is presenting the 2025 solo exhibition of Swiss video-sculpture artist Marck, “Das Wasser”, opening on Saturday, November 1, 2025. As a pioneering figure of video sculpture, Marck places framing, the body, and the act of seeing at the core of his practice. By merging video and sculpture into a cross-media language, he creates a new artistic context of “dynamic sculpture.” This exhibition takes water as its central theme—both as a source of the spirit and an inner reflection, as well as a metaphor for flow, tension, and transformation. It invites viewers to participate and experience the interplay of the real and the virtual. Marck (Switzerland, b.1964) is internationally recognized for his video sculptures. Based in Zurich, he is an atypical artist: he dropped out of art school, unable to accept rigid academic structures, and instead worked ... More

KB Jones blends realism and cartoon imagery in "Present" at Kristen Lorello
NEW YORK, NY.- Chozick Family Art Gallery & Kristen Lorello announce exhibition Present by artist KB Jones, on view at Kristen Lorello’s uptown gallery. Chozick Family Art Gallery in partnership with Kristen Lorello is pleased to present a selection of new works by Brooklyn-based painter KB Jones. This solo show follows her participation in a group show at the gallery in August and draws inspiration from quotidian moments and overlooked objects captured in photographs by the artist around the Upper East Side, a place the artist long called home. This show builds off of and combines two distinct styles Jones has become known for: lush, photorealist oil paintings of unexpected objects, such as her iconic series of trash bag paintings, and cartoon-influenced depictions of domestic scenes using industrial house paint. This show is the first time the artist has combined ... More

Jimena Sarno weaves global solidarity in "Rhapsody" at MASS MoCA
NORTH ADAMS, MASS.- MASS MoCA is presenting Jimena Sarno: Rhapsody, the artist’s first major solo museum exhibition, which engages craft traditions to imagine a future built on values of collectivity, reconfiguration, and repair. For Rhapsody, Sarno collaborated with over 20 artists, teachers, and makers, many of whom are from the Global South, combining filmmaking, sound, and sculpture with contemporary and traditional craft practices to illuminate how sharing time, space, and resources can deepen solidarity within a global context of extreme violence, fragmentation, and destruction. “Over the past five years, Jimena and I have thought together about the ways that reconfiguration, repair, and solidarity can be used to navigate and translate across borders. We hope that visitors and the community will be inspired by the makers and networks represented in Rhapsody ... More

Estefania Puerta confronts transformation and memory in "Laughing Death Drive" at The Aldrich
RIDGEFIELD, CONN.- Aldrich Projects | Estefania Puerta: Laughing Death Drive marks the artist’s first solo museum presentation, featuring Garganta Cueva (2023) alongside the debut of a new wall relief for which the project is titled. Born in Colombia and raised in East Boston, Puerta channels her experience growing up undocumented into a practice that redefines categorization—dissolving the boundaries between alien and natural, comforting and threatening, spoken and withheld. Influenced by literature, mythology, and psychoanalysis, she explores themes of shapeshifting and transformation, reflecting on what is gained or lost through cultural and material translation. At the heart of Puerta’s practice is her deep engagement with materials. She incorporates a wide range of organic and inorganic elements—stained glass, fungi, plants, shells, minerals, ... More

Miyako Yoshinaga unites two visionaries of 1970s portraiture at Paris Photo booth
NEW YORK, NY.- Miyako Yoshinaga will feature a duo presentation of works by Melissa Shook (b. 1939 – d. 2020) and Ken Ohara (b. 1942). Both artists began their innovative portraiture in photography in New York in the early 1970s, but their subsequent works, such as Shook's large-format Polaroid family portraits from 1984 and Ohara's series of ultra-long-exposure portraits of Angelenos from 1998, have rarely been exhibited before. Melissa Shook (1939-2020) invited her parents, her teenage daughter Krissy, and Krissy’s friend Cheryl to participate in a photo session. Krissy and Cheryl posed in a variety of outfits with a fashion-modeling flair, while Shook and her parents appeared in plain, everyday attire. Shook photographed the upper and lower bodies separately, then vertically combined the two frames, seemingly to amplify the impact of the large-format ... More

Cambodian artist Sopheap Pich explores memory and nature in new exhibition at Mia
MINNEAPOLIS, MN.- The Minneapolis Institute of Art is presenting “Sopheap Pich: In the Presence Of,” a focused exhibition featuring four key works by the acclaimed Cambodian-born artist, all on loan to Mia. On view from October 25, 2025, to February 1, 2026, the exhibition offers visitors an intimate glimpse into Pich’s engagement with Cambodian culture, history, and the natural world. The artist is renowned for transforming everyday materials—such as rattan, metal wire, and burlap—into meticulously crafted, delicate sculptures that evoke their subjects without directly replicating them. Pich’s choice of materials reflects both the natural environment of Cambodia and his personal experiences, spanning memories from his childhood to returning to his homeland as an adult. The resulting works subtly invite us to reflect on memory and history. “Sopheap Pich’s stunning ... More

Monumental sculptural artwork added to Vassar College grounds
POUGHKEEPSIE, NY.- Soaring 18 feet high, seven sentinels made of weathered steel surround a female bronze figure that appears to emerge from the earth. This dynamic and awe-inducing public artwork, situated at the northwest perimeter of the campus, is Vassar College’s newest public art acquisition. The monumental sculpture, by Rose B. Simpson, a mixed-media artist from Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, is nothing short of extraordinary and marks the first time a major outdoor work by an Indigenous artist has a permanent home on the campus. Simpson’s work, entitled Seed (2024), was acquired by The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center. Its location, within the College’s arboretum, along with the nearby Heartwood Hotel and soon-to-be-completed Dede Thompson Bartlett Center for Admission and Career Education, serves as a means ...

Dallas Museum of Art exhibition delves into mind-bending dreamscapes of the Surrealist movement
DALLAS, TX.- This fall, the Dallas Museum of Art is taking its audiences on a trip into the bizarre with the exhibition International Surrealism. Featuring over 100 works by an international array of artists, all drawn from the impressive collection of Tate in London, this exhibition highlights the wide range of practices, techniques and perspectives from across the globe that came to define the movement. The exhibition emphasizes the endless reach of the surrealist mindset through a rich display of works by celebrated artists and writers—including André Breton, Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dalí and René Magritte—and their peers. “Surrealism wasn’t just a movement or a singular artistic style, it was a way of life,” said Sue Canterbury, The Pauline Gill Sullivan Curator of American Art at the Dallas Museum of Art. “This exhibition offers our viewers a glimpse into this revolution ...
