TILBURG.- This autumn, De Pont Museum presents Sigmar Polke – The Knowledge of Colours, the first major exhibition in the Netherlands of Sigmar Polke (Oels, 1941 – Cologne, 2010) since his retrospective at the Stedelijk Museum in 1992. Developed in collaboration with the Anna Polke Foundation, the exhibition brings together more than fifty works from the 1980s to the late 2000s, focusing on Polke’s experimental approach to colour, pigment and unconventional painting materials. Alongside ensembles from the ‘Collectie Nederland’ (the joint Dutch museum collections), brought together for the first time, the exhibition includes important loans from private and museum collections in Germany, France and the United Kingdom, among others. The works in the exhibition mark a crucial turning point in Polke’s oeuvre. Of particular importance was the journey that took him in 1980/81 to Australia, Papua New Guinea and Southeast Asia. The experiences of this journey transformed hi ... More

YORK, PA.- Hake’s is gearing up to auction Part 1 of the Lawrence Klein collection, an astounding assemblage of vintage comic books and original comic book art by one of the industry’s truly legendary collectors and longtime insiders. The fully-illustrated catalog is up now on Hake’s website and bidding will open on Monday, September 28 at 9am ET. All lots will begin closing at 9:40pm on Wednesday, October 21. Lawrence Klein was bitten by the comic bug at an early age. His parents encouraged him to read as a child, and comics were a welcome presence in their home. Growing up outside New York City, Lawrence commuted into the city with his father for early comic conventions like Creation Con, meeting comic creators and getting them to sign copies of the comics they worked on. He fondly remembers trips to New York City comic shops, making collecting connections ... More
VENNA.- As an outstanding representative of Viennese Kineticism, Erika Giovanna Klien (1900–1957) soon shot to international fame. Her passion for the theater and dance led to innovative stage designs and complex depictions of bodies in motion. From 1929 Klien lived in New York, which resulted in an increased focus on urban spaces and social issues. The exhibition at the Lower Belvedere shines a spotlight on every facet of the painter, graphic designer, and art educator’s oeuvre and presents the latest research on her life and work. General Director Stella Rollig: Some forty years since Erika Giovanna Klien’s first solo exhibition in a museum, this show presents a contemporary perspective on the artist and invites visitors to learn about new facets of her creative output. In the University of Applied Arts Vienna—Collection and Archive and the Istituto Italiano di Studi Germanici in Rome, we found two very competent partner institutions for this exhibition project. Klien is ... More

LOS ANGELES, CA.- David Kordansky Gallery is presenting Keith Sonnier: Inside Light, 1968–1970, the gallery’s second solo exhibition of works by Keith Sonnier (b. 1941, d. 2020), a major postwar American artist whose singular vision encompassed advances in sculpture, painting, installation, video, and performance. Inside Light, which was previously presented at David Kordansky’s New York gallery in 2024, features Sonnier’s earliest experiments with neon and argon, which mark the beginning of his career-long exploration of new technologies and materials. Throughout a career spanning six decades, Sonnier authored a complex body of work that challenges dogmas at the heart of twentieth- and twenty-first-century art historical narratives, often questioning previous conceptions of what sculpture—and indeed, art itself—could be and do. While his work draws associations with artistic movements and genres from process art to ... More

EDINBURGH.- A new permanent display, Evolving Earth, explores how the diversity of minerals has increased over time – from the formation of the first diamonds preserved in the Allende Meteorites reflecting the early universe, right up to a plastic pipe with gypsum crystals less than 40 years old. While gypsum is a naturally occurring substance, human industrial activity has had a significant impact on where and in what forms it is found. Dr Rachel Walcott, Principal Curator of Earth Systems, said: “The story of mineral formation is a central part of the story of our planet, so it’s important to bring it up to date with examples of the impact of humans on processes which have been going on almost since the universe began. As minerals and rocks continue to form, humans are leaving their imprint on the geological record, leading scientists to coin the term Anthropocene. Activities such as mining, waste production and shipping are moving material and creating new environments and dest ... More
VIENNA.- This major show undertakes an exciting juxtaposition of the 20th century’s two most important figurative painters: Pablo Picasso and Francis Bacon. Bacon was inspired to become a painter by Picasso’s works. Throughout his life, he would compete with him, eventually striving to surpass him. Bacon wanted to be the late 20th-century version of what Picasso was to its first half: a chronicler of being human in all of its tornness. Both of these seminal artists placed human existence at the core of their pictorial worlds. The subject they shared was the human figure – pulled apart, thrown back together, and reinvented with an unprecedented savagery. In their distorted portrayals, they elucidated pain, desire, and vulnerability, holding up a merciless mirror to the modern soul. To both, themes such as crucifixions, screams, bullfights, nudes, and the Tears of Eros revealed the drama of life itself. Although Picasso himself ... More
CLEVELAND, OH.- Spectacular Freedom: Andrew Wyeth and the Modern American Watercolor at the Cleveland Museum of Art offers the first in-depth exploration of Andrew Wyeth’s relationship with watercolor. Featuring nearly 75 rarely seen works from the artist’s estate—including 17 that have never been on view publicly and five that have not been exhibited in nearly a century—this scholarly exhibition is groundbreaking in size and depth. Selected tempera paintings accompany the watercolors and explore the deep connection and surprising interdependency of the two mediums in Wyeth’s practice—revealing just how much of his career was spent thinking about, and working on, paper. The ticketed exhibition, on view from Sunday, September 20, 2026, through Monday, January 18, 2027, in the Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Gallery, is the first Cleveland presentation of this celebrated artist’s work. Spectacular Freedom reveals that watercolor was central to Wyeth’s art from ... More

Ann Leda Shapiro exhibition Through the Tunnel opens at François Ghebaly LOS ANGELES, CA.- François Ghebaly is presenting Through the Tunnel, an exhibition of recent works on paper by Ann Leda Shapiro, complemented by selected earlier works from an oeuvre that spans six decades. Throughout her career, Shapiro has charted the interconnected nature of our world: the way humans are both nested within a larger ecological framework, yet contain intricate networks within themselves. In the works on view in Through the Tunnel, the macrocosm mirrors the microcosm, emphasizing the cyclical nature of birth, life, and death. The title of Shapiro’s exhibition evokes anatomical nervous and vascular systems, which themselves echo root patterns of the natural world. The philosophical core of Shapiro’s work is that no one system can be isolated from all others. Through the Tunnel is anchored in Healing Scrolls, a large- ... More
Collezione Olgiati presents Jannis Kounellis exhibition focusing on painting LUGANO.- The Collezione Giancarlo e Danna Olgiati presents Jannis Kounellis: Io sono un pittore. Curated by Vincenzo de Bellis, the exhibition project takes painting, for the first time, as the principal interpretative lens through which to consider the work of Jannis Kounellis (Piraeus, 1936–Rome, 2017). It thus proposes an alternative critical perspective—broader and more radical—than the simple reception of the artist as one of the leading figures of Arte Povera, or as a master of installation and poet of matter, as he has often been celebrated. The starting point and guiding thread of the exhibition is a simple phrase, often repeated by Kounellis: “I am a painter,” not the assertion of a technique or a format, but the declaration of an attitude towards reality. “The Greek term zográfos—painter: one who “writes life”—has guided the entire curatorial project. Kounellis painted ... More

Whitney Museum presents Coumba Samba's first solo museum exhibition NEW YORK, NY.- The Whitney Museum of American Art presents Coumba Samba: Stars and Stripes. The exhibition marks the first solo museum presentation devoted to New York-based Senegalese American artist Coumba Samba (b. 2000), whose ambitious installations examine the social, political, and economic systems embedded within the built environment. In Stars and Stripes, Samba draws on the geometric forms and bold colors of modernist abstraction to explore the entanglement of resource extraction, militarism, and systems of global power. Sculptures modeled after depleted uranium shells are painted in the colors of the flags of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Namibia, Niger, and the United States. By using elements of national identity—including stripes, colors, and graphic forms—Samba interrogates the histories concealed ... More
Karma presents Felipe Suzuki's first solo exhibition with the gallery LOS ANGELES, CA.- Felipe Suzuki begins his compositions like a still life painter: arranging objects such as fruit on a table, paying attention to how light dapples the skin. Rather than working from observation, however, the São Paulo–based artist paints through the lens of memory, calling on the sensations and associations prompted by the initial act of looking. The resulting luminous, tranquil oil paintings register both visual and unseen worlds. “Sometimes our perspective,” he notes, “is realer than reality.” The works in this exhibition, his first solo show with Karma, were all made in 2026. Suzuki uses centuries-old painting techniques to create work that is only allusively representational. Forms cohere to varying degrees, but, in his words, his paintings’ “spirit is abstract.” His compositions’ tonal harmony stems in part from his primary use of the Apelles ... More

Over four decades, Kander has created some of the most celebrated images in contemporary photography, including portraits of Barack Obama, Rosamund Pike and David Lynch for publications such as The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker and TIME. Kander has exhibited widely at museums and institutions internationally, developing a body of work that moves fluidly across landscape, portraiture, still life and studies of the human form. The edge of things traces the threads that connect his work: a deep concern with the fragility of human existence, the passage of time, and the quiet intensity of everyday life. At a time of constant global change and endless distraction, Kander’s images invite reflection and contemplation, ... More
Hammonds House Museum opens an exhibition by Maurice Evans and Grace Kisa ATLANTA, GA.- Hammonds House Museum is presentiing NU AFRICANS. The artworks consider the notion that Africans of the Diaspora through the circumstances of bondage and oppression have evolved into their own tribe complete with cultural practices and their own language. Maurice Evans calls them “NU AFRICANS.” Inspired by the legendary warriors and queens on the African continent, each woman was costumed by Grace Kisa and photographed by Maurice in two looks, as a warrior and a queen. The inspiration for this exhibit takes its roots from Africa, but the women featured are from this time and place. The intention of this project is to subvert existing stereotypes and prejudice, challenge the viewer to consider beauty beyond a eurocentric aesthetic, while creating space and offering agency, engaging the mechanism of Afrofuturism to imagine ...

Born and raised in Columbus, Rojas spent much of her career in Northern California before recently returning to Ohio. Returning considers this homecoming not only as a geographic event, but as a metaphor for cycles of memory, selfhood, and renewal—themes that have long animated ... More
