HAARLEM.- The Frans Hals Museum is shining a long-overdue spotlight on Coba Ritsema, a once-celebrated Dutch painter whose name gradually slipped from public memory despite a career marked by early success and international recognition. Now on view at the museum’s Groot Heiligland location, the exhibition Coba Ritsema. An Eye for Color reintroduces audiences to an artist whose work challenges long-standing assumptions about women’s place in early 20th-century art history. Running through March 1, 2026, the exhibition is the result of extensive new research and marks the first time Ritsema’s oeuvre has been examined so comprehensively by a museum. The show brings together paintings from major public and private collections, many of which are being exhibited for the first time in decades. ... More
Inscriptions on a unique wooden lintel document the enthronement of a Kaanu’l ruler and his domination over Tikal
MEXICO CITY.- Tucked deep in the forests of southern Quintana Roo, the ancient Maya city of Dzibanché is finally stepping into the spotlight it has long deserved. New archaeological research is confirming what scholars have increasingly suspected for decades: Dzibanché was once the political heart of the powerful Kaanu’l dynasty, better known as the legendary “Snake Kings.” Best known for its monumental architecture and a rare wooden lintel carved with hieroglyphs, Dzibanché played a decisive role in shaping Maya history during the fifth and sixth centuries. The site was first recorded in 1927 by explorer Thomas Gann, who gave it its name—meaning “writing on wood”—after discovering the extraordinary inscribed lintel in Building E6, also known as the Temple of the Lintels. Today, that same artifact is proving central to a new understanding of the city’s importance. Over the past forty years, archaeologists have been ... More
PARIS.- After nearly three years of meticulous conservation, one of the great masterpieces of French Renaissance painting has returned to public view. From November 26, 2025, the Musée du Louvre is presenting an exceptional display of The Moulins Triptych by Jean Hey, marking the first time the work has been shown in Paris since 1937 and offering audiences an unprecedented opportunity to encounter it in its newly restored state. Painted around 1498 for the collegiate church of Moulins—today’s cathedral—the monumental triptych is the most important surviving work by Jean Hey, an artist trained in Flanders who became the leading painter at the Bourbon court in the late fifteenth century. Long known as the “Master of Moulins,” Hey is now recognized as a central figure in the transition between late medieval painting and the emerging Renaissance in France. The restoration, carried out between 2022 and 2025 under the supervision of the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affai ... More
Marlow Moss, White, black, red and grey, 1932. Kunstmuseum Den Haag. Photo: Alice de Groot.
THE HAGUE.- Kunstmuseum Den Haag recently acquired a suitcase containing more than a hundred preliminary studies by the artist Marlow Moss (1889-1958). From 13 December, the museum presents a selection of these sketches alongside three paintings by Moss from the museum’s collection that are being reunited after several years of travelling to exhibitions in the Netherlands and abroad. Like other geometric abstract artists of her generation, Moss sought a perfect harmony of lines and planes, creating a reality removed from the material world. In her own innovative way, she contributed to the development of modern art. Moss made the sketches, which all date from after 1940, as studies for reliefs, sculptures, paintings and drawings. They demonstrate the artist’s versatility, including mathematically calculated compositions, watercolours with organic forms and preliminary studies for pencil drawings. Moss was at the centre of avant-garde art circles ... More

Arthur Carter.
NEW YORK, NY.- Leila Heller announced the passing of legendary artist Arthur Carter, at the age of 93. Arthur lived a long and varied life, working in investment banking, journalism, and visual arts. Arthur Carter was born on December 24, 1931, in New York City. Trained as a classical pianist, he continued his studies in French literature at Brown University and received his AB in 1953. Mr. Carter served three years in the United States Coast Guard as a lieutenant (junior grade) and was honorably discharged in 1956.

In 1981 he started his first newspaper, the Litchfield County Times, and six years later he founded the New York Observer. For Carter, the process of laying out and designing the overall look of two newspapers generated ... More

ROME.- The Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Rome is marking a major milestone this winter, celebrating the centenary of its founding with an ambitious exhibition that brings together more than a century of artistic innovation, cultural policy, and civic identity. Titled GAM 100. A Century of the Municipal Gallery 1925–2025, the exhibition opened on December 20, 2025, and runs through October 11, 2026, offering visitors a sweeping journey through the evolution of Rome’s modern art collection. The exhibition spans more than 120 works—including paintings, sculptures, and works on paper—drawn from the museum’s holdings and displayed across three floors of its current home on Via Francesco Crispi. Together, they tell the story of how Rome became the first Italian city to establish a civic collection dedicated to modern and contemporary art, beginning in 1925 with a modest nucleus of works housed at Palazzo Caffarelli on the Capitoline Hill. Curated by Ilaria Miarelli Marian ... More
Golden Family’s (Matt Golden and Natsue Golden) exhibition “I Once Was a Wonderer, Too” can be visited at Pi Artworks Istanbul until February 28, 2026.
ISTANBUL.- Pi Artworks Istanbul presents “I Once Was a Wonderer, Too” by Golden Family, an exhibition that blends folkloric symbols and celestial imagery with mythology. Uniting the freedoms of the nomad and the security of the settled, this collection of works wistfully draws upon the artist duo’s recent relocation from London to the English-countryside. The centrepiece of the exhibition “I Once Was A Wonderer, Too”, appears to capture a nebulous form within the constraints of a birdcage. Joyfully bringing together two historically opposing symbols, one of the ephemeral and one of permanence. This metaphor creates a map around which the Golden Family’s theme of a ‘traveller homeward-bound’ playful navigates. The first conceptual thread of the exhibition ties together ideas of movement, exploration, and cosmic curiosity. For instance, in the Constellations series, ... More

Becky Brown brings digital language back into the physical world in Pleasure Reading at Freight + Volume NEW YORK, NY.- Freight + Volume will present Becky Brown: Pleasure Reading, and exhibition of mixed media works shown in the Project Space. “Becky Brown’s paintings in Pleasure Reading reposition passwords, catchphrases, complaints, and corporate blather in a sly and dexterous aesthetic lineage, embossing and memorializing the chatter, making it matter.” — Neil Fauerso Today, more text circulates between more people than ever before; yet meaning and authenticity are increasingly in question. Who is speaking? Can language be trusted? Is there a human being behind the words we see on our screens? This exhibition considers how communication might reclaim humanity, freedom and pleasure—by bringing language off the screen and back to physical forms. Becky Brown explores technology’s vast impacts by adapting text from social media, news, advertising ... More

Cukrarna Gallery presents its 2026 programme LJUBLJANA.- ART VITAL–12 Years of Ulay / Marina Abramović presents the most extensive account to date of the twelve-year collaboration between Ulay and Marina Abramović, from their first performance, Relation in Space (1976) at the Venice Biennale, to their symbolic farewell performance, The Lovers (1988). “I have never before had an exhibition that contained so much documentation, so much exposure of my inner self. The curators went through my archive and Ulay’s. I did not want to have any control over what they would choose,” said Marina Abramović. The Parter Gallery presents a new series of sculptures and a large-scale floor installation by Vienna-based Korean artist Yein Lee. The exhibition explores material instability, spatial uncertainty, and the transience of forms, which the artist uses to create a tense relationship between body, space, and material. ... More
Kunsthalle Münster presents Jelena Bulajić's first solo exhibition in Germany MÜNSTER.- With Untitled (after), Kunsthalle Münster will present the first solo exhibition by Jelena Bulajić in a German institution, providing an overview of the work of the artist. Bulajić’s works possess an intrinsic logic of showing and revealing, arising from an intensive engagement with the artistic and the visual, their inherent conditions, scope and potential. Her art is characterised by a painterly reflection based on a parity between and equivalence of seeing and cognition. The interplay between figuration and abstraction demonstrates a concept of how images are made and, in addition, demands a thorough examination of perception. Her works are thus a speculation upon the very dimensions of reality. For the representational paintings she presents in Untitled (after), Bulajić has appropriated works by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Hiroshi Sugimoto, ... More

From pilgrimage to pigment: Shine Shivan debuts monumental oil works inspired by ancient myths MUMBAI.- In Paaras, Shine Shivan presents a new body of work that extends the artist's preoccupation with mythical stories and folklore. Paaras—a touchstone—converts metals to gold. The act of painting reflects a similar form of alchemy and magic, of translating and reimagining stories and myths that percolate. Across his practice, Shivan has traversed a vast terrain of mediums: from work in taxidermy, performance and pastel. Here, the artist turns to oil for the rst time, executing monumental works that take root from ancient myths, but are remarkably contemporary in their execution. In Shivan's painterly language, the artist amalgamates personal experiences of pilgrimage while carrying with him a vast repertoire of visual references: Persian paintings, Indian miniatures, colonial paintings, and Chola bronzes—each absorbed into a distinctive artistic language ...

At the Landesgalerie Niederösterreich, exhibitions trace female artistic practices across ... More
Joan Semmel's radical nude paintings take center stage at the Jewish Museum NEW YORK, NY.- This month, the Jewish Museum presents a major exhibition of boundary-breaking work by Joan Semmel alongside a selection of artist-curated works from the Museum’s collection in Joan Semmel: In the Flesh. For over 50 years, Semmel has upended traditional figuration with her boldly declarative nude painting through gestural and hyperreal representation. Joan Semmel: In the Flesh juxtaposes 16 paintings by the artist, drawn from several periods across her career, many monumental in scale, with nearly 50 modern and contemporary artworks from the Museum’s expansive holdings. The works from the collection—encompassing painting, sculpture, photography, and works on paper—were selected by the artist for their engagement with themes present in her work, including her exploration of beauty, agency, and self-perception.

CARA presents the first U.S. exhibition of Édouard Glissant's personal art collection NEW YORK, NY.- This spring, CARA presents The Earth, the Fire, the Water, and the Winds: For a Museum of Errantry with Édouard Glissant—the first US exhibition of the Martinican poet and philosopher Édouard Glissant’s (1928–2011) personal art collection. Traveling from Instituto Tomie Ohtake in São Paulo, Brazil, The Earth, the Fire, the Water, and the Winds reveals a lesser-known dimension of Glissant’s life: his vision for a museum. He conceived of it not as a monument, but as a space capable of holding art, memories, and intertwined histories without reducing them to colonial frameworks. Errantry, central to Glissant’s thinking and this vision for a museum, is movement, encounter, and reinvention. It unfolds through the crossing of borders—geographic, linguistic, and historic—and resists the pull toward singular origins or stories. Glissant imagined both the world ... More
Page & Turnbull leads preservation and rebirth of a cornerstone of Korean American history LOS ANGELES, CA.- The architecture and preservation firm Page & Turnbull, has announced the groundbreaking of a transformation of the Young Korean Academy, a Craftsman-style residence and cultural touchstone for the Korean American community that dates to 1910, into a new multiuse cultural center. A longtime community hub located in the Expo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, the unassuming building and property served as the headquarters of the Young Korean Academy, also known as Hung Sa Dahn (흥사단), from 1929 until 1948. The South Catalina Street location, founded in 1913 by renowned Korean independence activist Dosan Ahn Chang Ho, later became the civic organization’s U.S. headquarters, serving as a hub for civic education, youth leadership, and independence activism for the Korean diaspora in America. “The Young ...
