David McKay Brown 12 bore over/under shotgun with accessories and case, by a noted Scottish maker who has been keeping the Dickson round-action tradition alive. Estimate: $40,000-$60,000.
DENVER, PA.- The Colt 1921 Thompson machine gun used to wound the gangster Charles “Pretty Boy” Floyd, and a Colt Single Action Army revolver with documentation to a member of General George A Custer’s 7th Cavalry regiment are just a taste of what bidders will find in Morphy’s big three-day Firearms & Militaria auction slated for September 15, 16 and 17. With a pre-sale estimate of $100,000-$180,000, the Colt 1921 Thompson submachine gun that wounded “Pretty Boy” Floyd during an April 9, 1932 confrontation with law enforcement, is a strong candidate for the auction’s top lot. Floyd ended up winning the gunfight, firing five times and fatally shooting Oklahoma Sheriff Ervin Kelly with an M1911 pistol. Ervin died clutching the Colt Thompson that is up for bid, but not before striking Floyd four times. This is a rare opportunity for a lucky bidder to own a true slice of American gangster history. ... More
Van Eeghen Drawing Book. Photo: Rijksmuseum/Kelly Schenk.
AMSTERDAM.- The Van Eeghen family has donated an extremely rare early 17th-century drawing book to the Rijksmuseum. It had been in the family’s possession for more than three centuries, carefully kept and passed down from generation to generation. All the while, it was unknown which artists had created the spectacular drawings inside the book, until around 20 years ago, when a link was established between the book and the work of Rombout Uylenburgh and his workshop. Uylenburgh was a painter from the northern Dutch province of Friesland who worked at the Polish royal court in Krakw. It is exceptionally rare for a 17th-century drawing book to have survived completely intact. The Van Eeghen Drawing Book can be considered a new highlight of the Rijksmuseum Print Room Collection, as well as one of the most significant additions to this collection in recent years. "A substantial part of Rombout Uylenburgh’s small surviving body of work is brought together in a display that will be on view at ... More

ALTKIRCH.- Two exhibitions currently on view at CRAC Alsace are entering their final days, bringing together very different approaches to how the world can be seen, interpreted and reconstructed through contemporary art. Rafael Moreno’s The World and Yuyan Wang’s Glowing, flaring, lurid, loud remain open through August 30 at the contemporary art center in Altkirch. The pairing forms part of the first program presented under CRAC Alsace’s new director, Elsa Vettier, and places Moreno’s attention to the material world alongside Wang’s fascination with technology, spectacle and manufactured realities. Wang’s work often begins with images and ideas that already circulate widely through contemporary media. In The Moon Also Rises (2024), for example, she draws on a real proposal discussed in Chengdu in 2018 to launch artificial moons into orbit as a way of illuminating the city at night. The project becomes the starting point ... More

Every morning police trucks from all over the city (Johannesburg) and surrounding townships converge on Bantu Commissioner’s court building and dump their loads of pass offenders to await trial. c.1965. 16.2 x 24.2cm (6.4 x 9.5 inches). Silver Gelatin Print. Signed by E. L. Cole (verso) Verso: Stamps of the ABC Press, Amsterdam and Magnum Photos, N.Y.C. and signature.
CAPE TOWN.- MBR Projects have been entrusted with the private sale of a remarkably rare and signed (verso) vintage silver gelatin photographic print by Ernest Cole (1940 - 1990). Cole is widely considered one of the greatest photographers of the 1960s and 70s. His life was, however, far from uncomplicated. He spent many years in America suffering from homesickness and depression. Cole died of cancer in a public hospital in New York in 1990, one week after the release of Nelson Mandela from prison. In 2017, more than sixty thousand of his negatives— missing for more than forty years — resurfaced in Sweden. In 2022, House of Bondage was reissued by Aperture, followed by The True America, featuring never-before-seen images of the United ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Theodosius William "Ted" Victoria, a New York City-based artist whose pioneering work fused photography, projected imagery, found objects, light, and sound, died on February 8, 2026, at the age of 85 at Lenox Hill Hospital. News of his death had not previously been reported. Born in Riverhead, New York, on February 6, 1941, Victoria grew up on Long Island before earning a B.A. from the State University of New York at New Paltz in 1968 and an M.F.A. from Rutgers University in 1970. Beginning in the late 1960s, Victoria emerged as one of the artists exploring the intersection of art and technology. In 1970, his work was featured in three landmark exhibitions in New York City: Photography into Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, Software at the Jewish Museum, and Brain Waves at Howard Wise Gallery. These shows, which also included innovators such as Nam June Paik and Hans Haacke, helped define a new direction in contemporary art and positioned Victoria among the first generation of art ... More

CHARLOTTENLUND.- This September, Museum Ordrupgaard turns its gaze far north with the exhibition Pekka Halonen. The Call of Finland. In Denmark, this marks the first major retrospective of the Finnish painter Pekka Halonen (1865–1933), widely regarded as one of the most pivotal figures in Finnish art history. The eighty-five works on display span his entire career – from his breakthrough at the 1900 Paris World Exhibition, which contributed to defining Finland’s national identity, to his mature works where nature and light verge on the abstract. An entire gallery is dedicated to the breathtaking snowscapes that earned Halonen the epithet of ‘Snow Painter’. In this exhibition, visitors step into nature’s cathedral to encounter some of the artist’s most renowned paintings. ’Nature has always been my source of inspiration. For thirty years, I’ve lived in the same place with the forest right on my doorstep. It’s like having the Louvre ... More
Costermonger stall no. 3 follows Landy's installation Market (1990), one hundred empty market stalls, his homage to real goods passing between real people, and anticipates his subsequent works Closing Down Sale (1992) and Scrapheap Services (1995).
LONDON.- The Mayor Gallery will present Market Day, pairing Michael Landy's sculpture Costermonger stall no. 3 (1991) with paintings made by John Tweddle (1938–2022) in New York between 1966 and 1972 and from the legendary Scull collection. Made a generation apart, the works share the market as a subject and its effects. Landy's stall, a trader's flower barrow, dressed with lights and flowers without its keeper, is a monument to the street trade at the moment of its disappearance. Tweddle's paintings, crowded with dollar signs, trucks and snakes, record his unease at watching his own work become a commodity. Both artists eventually acted on the suspicion their work describes: Landy went on to destroy all his possessions in Break Down (2001), and Tweddle left New York around 1980, withdrawing from the art world ...

Unknown artist, Conceptual Design for the Hall of the Crucifixion and Forest Lawn Museum, c. 1947. Colored pencil on tracing paper, 18.5 x 9 inches. Collection of Forest Lawn Museum.
GLENDALE, CA.- The Hall of Crucifixion-Resurrection opened in 1951, and Forest Lawn Museum opened the following year. Held in conjunction with the 75th anniversaries of the two institutions, the exhibition “75 Years: Art Finds a Home at Forest Lawn” features never-before-exhibited photographs from the museum’s archive, newly discovered and remastered audio of the original Hall of the Crucifixion program, and beloved artworks, some of which have not been displayed for nearly a decade.

The institution has one of the largest collections of stained glass in the United States, featuring sixteenth-century windows designed by Albrecht Drer and twenty-first-century ... More

PARIS.- For this exhibition, I wanted to immerse myself entirely in abstraction—setting aside any notion of subject or image as a starting point for the painting. The aim was to lose myself in the painting itself: its surface, its color, the way tones play against one another. Everything here begins with instinct—a gesture, a first chaotic sketch. What I’m after is a certain vibration, a specific texture, something matte and chalky. Through layer upon layer, I want the painting to arrive at a kind of harmony, a balance, a feeling. I’m chasing the accident, the unplanned moment. This is slow work—studio time. Paintings can sit unresolved for weeks, caught between one state and the next. Some of the canvases are older pieces, years old, that I’ve gone back and painted over. They build up like geological strata. Where traces of earlier layers show through—the pentimenti—the painting lays bare its own history, its false starts and changes of direction. What ... More
Detail of PhoneticBody, 2026.
STOCKHOLM.- Galleri Magnus Karlsson announced Thomas Broom’s eighth solo exhibition at the gallery. False Idols features a series of new paintings and a spatial light installation. Lotten Wiklund, a science journalist and PhD candidate at Ume University, has written an essay on the works, which you can read below. How are we to understand the relations between subject, autonomy and the world we create? At a time when human cognition, intention and meaning can be simulated, this fundamentally human question calls for new approaches. In the work PhoneticBody (2026), Thomas Broom returns to the materials and themes that characterized his early artistic practice in order to explore some of the difficult challenges of our time. As early as Yasmine (2001) and HellHunt (2001), Thomas Broom explored how language, technology and human imagination shape one another. Over the past decades, these questions have continued to run through artistic production that moves freely ... More

This year’s main exhibition Horizontal Dialogue: Between Us is curated by independent curator and art director HeeJung Kim under the curatorial theme of The Silence that Shapes.

The curatorial focus emphasises the discovery of the natural landscape and what our environment reveals when denuded of an overt human narrative, focusing a light on the silent, shaping forces of nature. Rather than presenting ... More
Silverlens New York to present Geraldine Javier's first US solo exhibition NEW YORK, NY.- Silverlens New York will present State of the Nations, the first U.S. solo exhibition of renowned Philippine artist Geraldine Javier. Javier’s exhibition will be on view September 10 through October 24, 2026, with an opening reception on September 10, 6–8 PM. “Every morning the artist Geraldine Javier with her dog Freya starts work by walking out into her garden to gather leaves, flowers and occasionally bits of bark. “Garden” here may not be the most accurate word. She lives in an old farm 2.3 hectares (5.7 acres) large, and now calls herself an “artist-farmer”. Over the last four years eco-printing has been so consuming a medium or process that she has had no time to paint. Eco-printing means to press the sap or pigment of leaves, roots, flowers and bark into paper or fabric. “I hope the audience will delight in nature and share my concern at the damage ... More
Antwerp's Open Monument Day 2026 puts volunteers and hidden heritage in the spotlight ANTWERP.- Antwerp will open the doors to some of its most distinctive historic buildings on Sunday, September 13, as the city marks the 38th edition of Open Monument Day. This year, however, the focus extends beyond architecture to the people who help keep the city’s heritage alive. Under the theme “In Good Hands,” Open Monument Day 2026 will highlight the volunteers, neighborhood groups and associations that maintain, restore and safeguard historic sites across Antwerp. The initiative coincides with Belgium’s 2026 Year of the Volunteer, giving the city an opportunity to recognize the people whose work often happens quietly behind the scenes. Visitors will be able to explore monuments throughout greater Antwerp, from familiar landmarks in the historic center to lesser-known buildings and industrial heritage sites in the surrounding districts. ...

On display: How Graphic Design Shapes Us at Museum Angewandte Kunst, Frankfurt FRANKFURT.- Graphic design is everywhere. Whether it’s food packaging, digital interfaces on our smartphones, billboards or wayfinding systems in public spaces—all the visual media that surrounds us is designed to act on us. Graphic design shapes how we perceive, understand, feel and act—often without us even realising it. Through the work of Robin Coenen and Danielle Rosales, Aline Bavier and Sophia Becker, and Anja Kaiser and Rebecca Stephany, the exhibition On Display: How Graphic Design Shapes Us explores the social dimension of graphic design and examines its influence in times of political, technological, and social change. The way information is presented shapes what we know—or believe we know. Numbers, data and facts are not formless material; they are always designed in a particular way. And anything that has been designed could always ... More
Wallace Chan brings monumental titanium sculptures to Shanghai in Vessels of Other Worlds SHANGHAI.- Wallace Chan’s most ambitious sculptural project to date is now on view at the Long Museum (West Bund), where Vessels of Other Worlds has opened its Shanghai chapter after debuting in Venice earlier this year. Curated by James Putnam, the exhibition brings together a new body of monumental titanium sculptures that explore transformation, memory and spirituality. The Shanghai presentation, which opened on July 18 and runs through October 25, forms one half of a dual-site project linking the Long Museum with the Chapel of Santa Maria della Piet in Venice. The project also coincides with Chan’s 70th birthday and marks a significant expansion of a practice that has long moved between the intimate scale of jewelry and carving and the architectural possibilities of sculpture and installation. At the Long Museum, visitors move through a sequence ... More
