VIENNA.- The Belvedere has set a new milestone in collection research with the publication of a comprehensive online catalog of works by Gustav Klimt in its holdings. This makes the results of years of research accessible to the public and strengthens the museum’s position as an international center of expertise on Gustav Klimt. General Director Stella Rollig: The online catalog of the Gustav Klimt collection sets a new standard in the scholarly documentation of museum collections. This is the first time that an Austrian federal museum has offered access to its collection with this level of depth. We have combined art history, conservation, provenance research, and digital communication to create a comprehensive knowledge base, enhancing the visibility of our Klimt holdings with lasting effect. Since 2022 an interdisciplinary team from the Belvedere has been working on a detailed research project about the twenty-four works by Gustav Klimt in its collection. This online catalog goes far b ... More

The Irsay Icons of History sale was 100 percent sold by lot, and 173 percent hammer and buyer's premium against low estimate.
NEW YORK, NY.- After five auctions, 404 lots sold, almost 30 records set, and $105,266,766, the largest sale total in history for memorabilia, Christie's marked the 250th anniversary of the United States with the last chapter in what has already been a record-breaking series of sales. The Jim Irsay Collection Auction Series ended today, with the final lot of the final auction, The Jim Irsay Collection: Icons of History.

It sold for $2,393,000, to a non-profit that manages the house of one of the two authors of the book, the late Bill Wilson. “It's coming home!” shouted Sally Corbett-Turco, after placing the winning bid on behalf of Stepping Stones Foundation - The Historic Home of Bill and Lois Wilson, where Ms. Corbett-Turco is the Executive Dir ...

PARIS.- The Groupe Emerige and its president, Laurent Dumas, announced the opening of Large in autumn 2026 within an exceptional architectural project devised by RCR Arquitectes (Pritzker 2017) in collaboration with the CALQ agency. Directed by Paula Aisemberg, Large is situated on the Point des Arts, an iconic site on the Île Seguin which will now be open to the public after a century of industrial activity. The name “Large” has a double connotation, suggesting at once an important destination and a departure towards other horizons – as in the French expression “prendre le large” [“set sail”]. It not only points to the topography of the site in the middle of the Seine, where flowing water and open horizons suggest a sense of freedom, but also to an idea of openness: welcoming as broad a public as possible, expanding imaginaries and going beyond expected formats. Large is a place for creation, production and transmission, open onto the city and accessible to ... More
Hans Ulrich Obrist Archives, Chapter 6: Zaha Hadid, "I think experimentation should never end," 2026 - 2027, The Tower, Archive Gallery and Cherry Tree Gallery, LUMA Arles, France.
ARLES.- The sixth chapter of the Hans Ulrich Obrist Archives marks the tenth anniversary of Dame Zaha Hadid’s passing (b. October 31, 1950, Baghdad, Iraq–d. March 31, 2016, Miami, Florida). It honors a visionary architect who alters the horizon of contemporary architecture by using abstract painting as a method of spatial invention. Born into a liberal, secular Iraqi family, Hadid studies mathematics at the American University of Beirut before relocating to London to attend the Architectural Association (AA) in 1972. There, in the orbit of Rem Koolhaas and Elia Zenghelis, she explores the aborted, unrealized, or insufficiently tested experiments of Modernism and the Russian avant-garde, adopting drawing and abstract painting as investigative structures. Through axonometric projection, multiperspectival viewpoints, calligraphic line, and acrylic layering, she pushes architecture beyond the inertia of Euclidean geometry long before advanced software can help coordinate such complexity. ...

Dakota Mace, Dáda’ak’ehgo Litso (there are yellow fields all around), 2024, anthotypes dyed with Osage orange, 43 7/8 x 43 7/8 inches, unique.
NEW YORK, NY.- Higher Pictures presents Sǫʼ Baa Hane’, the gallery’s first exhibition with Diné artist Dakota Mace. The exhibition brings together nine works made between 2023 and 2025 from two series, Sǫʼ and Distorted Landscapes. Mace combines traditional and cameraless photographic methods, including cyanotype, chemigram, and natural dyes such as cochineal and Osage orange, with hand-applied glass beadwork drawn from motifs in Diné weaving and silversmithing. Working across these process-intensive, labor-dense materials, she translates Diné cosmology and oral history into a visual language in which design itself functions as a carrier of narrative. In both series, land operates not as a pictorial subject but as an archive. Land is a repository of ancestral memory and kinship that, in Mace’s framing, resists the proprietary logic of Western land ownership and instead figures place as an extension of the self and a site of intergenerational continuity. In Sǫ&# ... More
ARLES.- In 1937, the Nazi regime presented the exhibition Entartete Kunst (“Degenerate Art”). The term was used to designate what was to be rejected: impure forms, resistant imaginaries, artists who escaped the established aesthetic and political order. Nearly a century later, the word has lost none of its violence. It continues to circulate, sometimes under different names. Every era invents its own categories, exclusions, and norms of visibility. Every era decides which images are reassuring and which are disturbing. Dark periods rarely begin with book burnings. They begin with the classification of bodies, narratives, and images. We are living in a time when simplification is increasingly presented as desirable. Identities harden, narratives close in on themselves, nuance becomes suspect, lines become straight, and the organic gives way to the rigidity of norms. Algorithms privilege what already resembles what we know. Doubt becomes a flaw; complexity, an obstacle. From this feeli ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- GRAY presents Roger Brown: Weathervane, the gallery’s first monographic exhibition dedicated to Brown since announcing exclusive representation of the artist’s estate. Opening at GRAY New York on July 8, Weathervane explores the artist’s vision of an emotionally charged contemporary life set at the tense border between the built environment and the natural world. Featuring six paintings from the 1980s and 1990s, the exhibition reflects Brown’s clarity of vision as an artist both unafraid to face sociopolitical headwinds and unable to ignore ecological destruction. Playing with shifts of scale, Brown communicates reverence and awe for the power of nature while his perspective on human plight sees a fraught and tenuous future. For example, in the 1980 painting Lake Effect, Brown paints the grand high-rises of Chicago, one of the world’s most famous skylines at the time, as a minuscule strip of skyline against alarming concentric arcs of red storm clouds. In rhyth ... More
View of Vian Sora: Outerworlds, Asia Society Texas Center, Houston, Texas, 2026. Photo: Alex Barber.
HOUSTON, TX.- Asia Society Texas announces Vian Sora: Outerworlds, a multi-venue mid-career survey of internationally renowned abstract painter Vian Sora (b. 1976, Baghdad). Organized jointly with the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Speed Art Museum, the exhibition assembles major works charting Sora’s artistic development over the past decade. Outerworlds is her first solo museum exhibition in the United States and explores how her multilayered paintings abstractly channel the tumultuous events of her life, ancient Mesopotamian history, and Iraq’s diverse landscapes, including its deserts, rivers, and archaeological sites. The exhibition is accompanied by a full-color catalogue published with Inventory Press. Vian Sora: Outerworlds debuted at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art on June 22, 2025, before traveling to the Speed Art Museum, and opened at Asia Society Texas on April 15, 2026. The Asia Society Texas presentation is the largest on the tour, featuring new work by Sora alongside loans by Jo ... More
LAUSANNE.- Inferno & Paradiso is an immersive slide-projection exhibition created by Alfredo Jaar, one of the most socially active artists of our day. For this show, Jaar selected 20 contemporary reportage photographers and asked each of them to choose two images from their archives – the most painful one they had taken and the most hopeful one. Like Virgil in Dante’s Divine Comedy, Jaar takes us on a journey through heaven and hell, confronting us with our own (in)sensitivity in the face of the relentless flow of images of human suffering. Inferno & Paradiso presents 40 photographs taken by 20 reportage photographers selected by Jaar for their ability to distill the complexity of humankind in the modern era. From Ukraine to Argentina, Gaza to New York, and the Congo to the Philippines, the photographers document many of the crises afflicting our society; but they also capture the joy and happiness inherent in our world. It is that dichotomy – a world caught between heaven and hell ... More

Victoria Miro announces representation of Clare Woods LONDON.- Victoria Miro announced representation of Clare Woods. New paintings by the artist will feature in our presentation at The Armory Show, New York, this September. Woods’s first exhibition with the gallery will take place in London in February 2027. Clare Woods chronicles the places, people and things of our world with an unerring eye for the mutable and mysterious. Whether intimate or monumental, her work is at once a site of physical interaction and a cerebral arena in which complexities of representation and painterly truth are scrutinised and challenged. Woods' singular approach, in which oil paint is applied in characteristically flowing and expressive brushstrokes to aluminium panels laid flat before she views them on a wall, might be thought of as a procedural nod to the Abstract Expressionists’ liberating method of laying unstretched canvases on the ground. Yet, the physicality of the Woods’ practice, pushing paint through paint and mixing colours directly on the a ... More
Chazen Museum of Art prepares for fall re-opening MADISON, WIS.- When the Chazen Museum of Art at the University of Wisconsin–Madison reopens its doors this fall, visitors won’t simply return to a familiar destination — they’ll experience an entirely new way of seeing the collection. After a full reinstallation of its collection galleries, the Chazen is unveiling a dynamic and visitor-centered approach to exhibiting the artwork in its collection. Paintings, sculptures, prints and ceramics have been thoughtfully regrouped to emphasize surprising connections across time, culture and medium — transforming the traditional museum visit into a journey of unexpected connections and personal discovery. Rather than following a strict art historical timeline, each gallery will feature numerous artworks that all revolve around a single “focus object” that anchors a network of ideas and visual relationships. This approach creates a more intuitive, engaging experience where longtime favorites appear in new contexts, in some cas ... More

Albertz Benda presents 'Held Space', a solo spotlight exhibition by Robert Peterson NEW YORK, NY.- albertz benda presents Held Space, Robert Peterson’s third solo presentation with the gallery. On View from July 9 through August 7, the show centers on the transfer of life, care, and identity between people. Robert Peterson writes: “Through selective rendering, the figures reveal moments of giving and receiving, where growth occurs through touch, presence, and dependence. Unfinished areas signify both what is still forming and what has already been poured out, reflecting the quiet exchanges that shape us, often unnoticed but deeply felt. To be unfinished here is not to be lacking, but to be actively in use. I made the decision to keep this exhibition intentionally limited to just four works, which is why we’re presenting it as a spotlight show. With the positive early response to this new body of work, it felt important to move carefully and protect the intimacy and rarity of these pieces rather than overextending the series too quickly. There’s something meaningf ... More
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston announces recent acquisitions HOUSTON, TX.- The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston today announced a roster of recent acquisitions, comprised of purchases and gifts across a number of significant collecting areas for the institution. Commented Gary Tinterow, director and Margaret Alkek Williams chair of the MFAH, “I am pleased to announce this selection of our latest round of acquisitions at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Notable among them are two works that constitute astounding rediscoveries in their respective fields: Ladies of the Court belongs to a series of 17th-century hangings that have been hailed as the most important Indian textile discovery of the century, while Fernand Khnopff’s evocative triptych has reappeared for the first time since 1912. These purchases and gifts have been made possible by the continuing generosity of Houston's philanthropists and through the perspicacity of our team of curators.” The recent acquisitions include a host of purchases from a range of contemporary artists, including Hew Locke, Tatsuo ...

Public Art Fund to debut Gabriel Orozco photograph series on 300 bus shelters across three US cities NEW YORK, NY.- Opening July 8, Public Art Fund will present Gabriel Orozco: Public Nature, an exhibition of 12 new photographs on view on 300 JCDecaux bus shelters in New York City, Chicago, and Boston. The images, captured by Orozco as he walked through public spaces, explore how nature and the built environment shape one another, and together comprise the artist’s first commissioned photographic series. Based between Mexico City, New York, Tokyo, and Paris, Orozco’s practice is shaped by the fluidity of moving across cities, an experience that informs this new body of work. Public Nature features images that offer a subtle, poetic reflection on contemporary cities as evolving environments: vines wrap around pipes, seeds are displayed in containers along the sidewalk, and plastic animals await sale in street stalls. While photography has long been central to Orozco’s practice, Public Nature represents a significant new chapter in his engagement with the medium. “In this exhibitio ... More
Ayyam Gallery presents 'Tangerine Dreams', a group exhibition centered on the color orange DUBAI.- This summer, Ayyam Gallery presents Tangerine Dreams, a collective exhibition centered on the color orange. Occupying a unique space between intensity and comfort, orange embodies both vitality and reflection. Associated with sunlight, fire, ripened fruit, and shifting horizons, the color carries a rich spectrum of meanings that traverse cultures, histories, and emotional states. At times radiant and celebratory, at others contemplative or nostalgic, orange becomes a vehicle through which artists explore memory, landscape, identity, and transformation. Throughout the exhibition, the color appears in varied forms, guiding viewers through moments of energy and stillness while revealing its ability to shape perception and mood. Tangerine Dreams highlights how a single hue can forge unexpected connections across artistic practices, generations, and geographies, transforming the gallery into a space of warmth, resonance, and discovery. Tammam Azzam is a multidisciplinary artist whose practi ... More
Kunsthaus Bregenz presents Florentina Holzinger performance Bodensee Étude BREGENZ.- SEAWORLD VENICE, Florentina Holzinger’s work for the Austrian Pavilion at this year's Venice Biennale, will have a one-night echo in Bregenz a composition featuring four drummers and ten performers along with a crane and a large-scale bell. For this new iteration of the choreographer’s “Études”—a series of one-off, site-specific performances unfolding the skills and practices that go into her stage and installation works—the audience is invited to witness a contemporary ritual on the shore of Lake Constance. Bodies and objects plunge into the water and emerge transformed, giving shape to a suspended structure that echoes like a wind chime on steroids, accompanied by a drum score. Diving into folktales of often feminized underwater creatures who now share their liquid world with rubbish hidden from an idyllic landscape, the Bodensee Étude re-signifiessin and salvation in a hybrid rite of passage. Performers and equipment come together over, around, and in the body of water at Lake Cons ... More
The Friends of the Susquehanna River Art Collection acquires work by Robert Henri HALLAM, PA .- The Friends of the Susquehanna River Art Collection announced the recent acquisition of Rainstorm-Wyoming Valley (1902), a major painting by American master Robert Henri (1865-1927). The work was acquired through the generous funds provided by Georgina T. and Thomas A. Russo, with additional support provided by Founding Friends and Trustees. Joe Deerin, Chair of the Friends, noted that “it was Gina who first noticed the painting, and through her research discovered that the subject was Wyoming, Pennsylvania, rather than the state of Wyoming. As a member of the Friends Collections Committee, she immediately recommended that we acquire this important, and magnificent example of the rich heritage of the Susquehanna River watershed.” Robert Henri (1865–1929) stands as one of the most influential figures in early twentieth-century American art. As the central leader of the Ashcan School, he rejected academic idealization in favor of a bold, vigorous realism that captured the ... More
