NEW YORK, NY.-Juan Arreaza’s career has spanned from creating a piece with the indigenous people of Colombia to having a critical part in the Netflix series One Hundred Years of Solitude.

For this task he partnered up with the Danish Photographer and Journalist Mads Nissen, winner of the World P ... More

AMSTERDAM.- From June 19–August 30 2026, Framer Framed in Amsterdam presents the exhibition Wild Waters: Dams and Deltas After Modernity. Curated by Àngels Miralda, the exhibition examines water as both a life-sustaining resource and an instrument of political power, tracing the ways hydraulic infrastructures have shaped landscapes, histories and systems of environmental exploitation across different geographies. The Dutch landscape is interwoven with water: a vast network of rivers, canals, aquifers and engineered waterways flowing above and beneath the ground. For centuries, inland water has been both a source of life and a persistent threat to Dutch society. In response, engineers constructed dikes, canals and storm surge barriers to protect land that lies below sea level. These infrastructures produced not only safety, but also a national mythology of mastery over a resource that doesn’t always flow in such abundance. During the era of global modernisation, dams and river engineering ... More
Winnie Herbstein, We Need to Speak about Living Room (still), 2026.
BEETSTERZWAAG.- Kunsthuis Syb is presenting We Need to Speak about Living Room, the first solo exhibition by Winnie Herbstein in the Netherlands. The exhibition unfolds simultaneously across two presentation spaces developed in relation to distinct rural and urban contexts, Kunsthuis Syb in the village of Beetsterzwaag, Friesland, and Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons in the city of Utrecht. It marks the first collaboration between two interregional art institutions working on feminist legacies, housing and political consciousness. The project brings together newly co-commissioned works and research materials on community led housing stories. Communal forms of living are a timely theme. In the Netherlands and elsewhere, recent years have seen a rise in non-heteronormative housing units, sometimes by choice, sometimes out of financial necessity. In her research and new works, Herbstein brings these contemporary housing questions together with participatory methods drawn from family constella ... More
Anup Mathew Thomas, Apparitions (detail), 2026.
BERLIN.- With Two new books, two new works plus an old one for good measure, Anup Mathew Thomas presents, for the first time to audiences in Berlin, a concise yet compelling selection of his work. Bringing together works developed over the last two decades alongside new ones produced during his DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program fellowship, the exhibiton at daadgalerie explores what happens when an unapologetically hyperlocal artistic practice—such as that of Thomas—is transplanted into a different context, and how such a body of work positions itself within it. Anup Mathew Thomas's works dwell at the threshold of documentation and fact, and between fiction and fable. They draw their persuasive and imaginative power from tensions between text and image, observation and interpretation, calling into question the status of photographic images and journalistic writing as means of conveying truth or knowledge about the world. By offering textual mediation to his photographs and assuming the ro ... More
PARIS.- For four years the Jeu de Paume has been exhibiting the work of the previous year’s winner of the Niépce Gens d’Images Prize at the Château de Tours. Created in 1955, this annual prize is awarded to a professional photographer under the age of fifty who is either French or has been living in France for over three years. In May 2025 the prize was awarded to Ed Alcock, whose candidacy was sponsored by Dominique Gaessler.

The title refers to family secrets and convenient stratagems that are sometimes exposed and discredited, a theme that has been present in his wo ... More

CHARLOTTENLUND.- The Danish visual artist and writer Ann Linn Palm Hansen opens the summer season at Ordrupgaard with her largest solo show to date. For this occasion, she has created ninety-three new works and seven contemplative lyrical texts to form a total installation in the spacious Zaha Hadid gallery. The exhibition Ann Linn Palm Hansen. Moving Motif is realised in close collaboration with the artist herself and the texts in the exhibition are published in an accompanying catalogue. Ann Linn Palm Hansen (b.1984) has distinguished herself both as a visual artist and a writer of art-theoretical and fictional books. Her practice is characterised by an exploratory approach that challenges conventional notions of colour and form and increasingly engages with the shift from abstraction to motif. At once rigorous and sensitively probing, Palm Hansen employs a variety of media to explore the relationship between figuration and abstraction. She works systematically and, paradoxically, within a strict mat ... More

GRAZ.- Camera Austria is presenting Luise Marchand: Prospects of Winning, the artist’s first institutional solo exhibition in Austria, opening Friday, June 19, 2026, at 6 p.m. Curated by Christin Müller, the exhibition will be on view from June 20 through August 30, 2026, at Camera Austria in Graz. Across three groups of works, Marchand examines the economies of desire, the dynamics of capitalist profit-seeking, and the uneasy relationship between work and play. Her photographs, videos, installations, and staged objects draw on the slick visual language of advertising, only to turn that language against itself. What at first appears seductive or playful soon opens onto sharper questions about labor, self-optimization, exhaustion, and the pressure to keep producing. At the center of the exhibition are snails crawling across banknotes, high-performance lifestyle products, and the bodies of workers. Together, these images form a pointed reflection on a world shaped by speed, competition, fl ... More

Tickets are $10 per player and $8 for repeat (same day) players and are available for purchase at the museum. Additional special pricing for groups will also be available. The gunboat Philadelphia dates to 1776 and is the oldest surviving intact American fighting vessel.

The aircraft was donated by owner Ed Noel of the Noel Air Race Team (NART).

Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris opens Florian Krewer's first solo exhibition in France PARIS.- The Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris presents Florian Krewer: woven thin, the artist’s first solo exhibition in France. The exhibition brings together sixteen monumental paintings installed inside the permanent collection display, including several previously unseen works. Florian Krewer: woven thin follows the donation of several of the artist's works to the museum. Hung in a dense and closely conceived display, they form a rich pictorial panorama reflecting the intensity of the artist’s practice, offering a sense of total immersion into his pictorial universe. Krewer’s practice is deeply autobiographical, shaped by a direct engagement with the world around him in all its raw beauty and brutality. Drawing from lived experience as well as fantasy, the wide-ranging cast of characters that inhabit his ethereal landscapes and interiors are stripped of context and assume lives of their own. Dancers, performers, animals, and solitary figures drift through shifting cityscapes ... More
The Carle to host major retrospective on legendary picture book artist Jerry Pinkney AMHERST, MASS.- A new exhibition at The Carle showcases the profound influence of music on a legendary picture book artist’s life and work. On view June 20, 2026 – January 3, 2027, Soul, Sound, and Voice: The Art of Jerry Pinkney features more than 75 works from across Pinkney’s acclaimed career.

Pinkney said, “I’d like my art to feel the way music sounds,” and he believed that music was the key to understanding his work. Music flows through his depictions of American history and African American traditions, and Pinkney often showed how fictional characters and historic figures drew strength from the discovery of their own unique voices. The exhibition features three thematic sections: Soul explores depictions of spirituality and commitment to fost ... More
New exhibition explores Thomas Cole's rapid impact on 19th-century American art CATSKILL, NY.- The Thomas Cole National Historic Site opened the exhibition “Circles of Influence: Thomas Cole and the American Landscape Movement.” The exhibition explores the rapid influence that Thomas Cole (1801-1848) and his work had on other 19th-century artists, and the role that they collectively played in extending the concept of “America the Beautiful,” still vibrant today. The exhibition brings together the work of Thomas Cole with artists he was in direct contact with, including Frederic Edwin Church, Jasper Francis Cropsey, and Asher B. Durand; artist-members of the Cole family, including Sarah Cole and Mary B. Cole; and later painters who were shaped by his legacy and considered part of the artistic movement Cole founded, such as Ralph Albert Blakelock, Albert Bierstadt, Susie M. Barstow, John Frederick Kensett, Mary Josephine Walters, and Worthington Whittredge. The exhibition is being presented in the historic Library Gallery designed by Thomas Cole in the 1815 Mai ... More
Cranbrook Art Museum opens new summer exhibition Akea Brionne: A Dreaming Hour BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MICH.- Detroit artist Akea Brionne will open her first solo museum exhibition, Akea Brionne: A Dreaming Hour, at Cranbrook Art Museum on June 20. Brionne is an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of lens- and fiber-based media, and is a 2023 graduate of the Cranbrook Academy of Art photography department. An opening celebration will be held on June 19, from 6–9pm. A Dreaming Hour debuts a new body of large, multipaneled works that transport visitors into Afrosurreal worlds shaped by memory, history, and imagination. Afrosurrealism focuses on the “invisible” world of dreams and the subconscious. For the artist’s first solo museum exhibition, Brionne has developed a research-driven practice that examines the lasting impact of colonial and imperialist histories on cultural storytelling, identity politics, and assimilation. Drawing from observations of the African Diaspora—particularly her Afro-Creole culture—she incorporates emerging technologies su ... More
New exhibition highlights four decades of ceramic collaborations between Park Young Sook and Lee Ufan SEOUL.- Pace presents an exhibition of work by Park Young Sook at its Seoul gallery from June 19 to August 14. Titled When Form Meets Gesture, this presentation brings together works created by the artist over the last 40 years, including new sculptures produced this year, that reflect her longstanding collaborations with Lee Ufan. A celebrated and renowned ceramicist in Korea, Park is best known for her Moon Jars, round porcelain vessels named for their full shape and luminous glaze, which first appeared in Korea in the 17th century. Park’s Moon Jars, however, are larger than those produced in centuries past. Her porcelain works exceed two feet (70 cm) in height with a proportional circumference, taking on a commanding presence in space. Their surfaces range from snow white to milk white to blue-tinged white; variations in color are the result of the firing process. Park’s use of the eobdaji technique—in which two separately thrown halves are joined and inverted—emphasizes ... More
George Economou Collection announces its first contemporary group exhibition MAROUSI.- The George Economou Collection announces The Way We Live Now, its first contemporary group exhibition, with works culled solely from its holdings and the first of its kind within the exhibition program. In 1875, the English novelist Anthony Trollope published The Way We Live Now, his devastating look at the transfiguring effect of power during the industrial age. A little over one hundred and fifty years later, artists, curators, and writers continue to mine the real world in all its complexity, including the effects finance, industry, and desire have not only on artistic consciousness, but the viewer's understanding of what is being represented, and why. In this group exhibition, the artists invite us, with their unique sensibilities, to observe how they have been informed, if not shaped, by “the way we live now”—as political creatures, as humans longing for intimacy, as observers in and of the world that has made us. Divided into three loose sections—Intimacy, Pol ... More

On a day like today, American painter Lee Krasner died
June 19, 1984. Lenore "Lee" Krasner (born Lena Krassner; October 27, 1908 - June 19, 1984) was an American painter and visual artist active primarily in New York whose work has been associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement. Krasner and Jackson Pollock established a relationship in 1942 after they both exhibited at the McMillen Gallery. She was intrigued by his work and the fact she did not know who he was even though she knew many abstract painters in New York. In this image: Lee Krasner’s The Eye is the First Circle.
