NEW YORK, NY.- The Morgan Library & Museum presents Rembrandt's Lions: Art and Exile in the Dutch Republic, an exhibition that brings together, for the first time, a remarkable group of drawings, etchings, and paintings highlighting the often overlooked but formative presence of migrants, immigrants, exiles, and refugees in the world and work of Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606–1669). The exhibition particularly focuses on stories of diaspora, or dispersed communities, that figure prominently in many of his etchings, offering a new perspective on the effects of migration on seventeenth-century life. Today, Rembrandt is seen as the quintessential Dutch artist, yet in his day the Dutch Republic was newly formed, and what it meant to be Dutch was still being defined. On view from October 23, 2026, through January 31, 2027, this exhibition illuminates a new interpretation of the artist and the world he inhabited. "Rembrandt's Lions: Art and Exile in the Dutch Republic offers fresh perspectives o ... More

It marks Barney’s first New York exhibition to follow Family Ties, the major touring retrospective organized by the Jeu de Paume, Paris, in 2024-2025. Fashion has played a central role in Barney’s life from a young age: the artist’s mother, Lillian Fox, was a former model whose sense of style deeply inspired Barney. After developing a practice in photography in Sun Valley, Idaho, i ... More
The never-before-seen Patek Philippe watch, one of only seven examples conceived by master watchmaker Louis Cottier, comes to market for the first time after spending two generations with the family of the original owner.
NEW YORK, NY.- An exceptionally rare Patek Philippe, designed by master watchmaker Louis Cottier and never-before-seen by the public, is being offered by Christie's as a centerpiece of The Important Watches auction during Luxury Week in New York in December. The Patek Philippe Dual Time Reference 3452/1 (estimate $800,000 to $1.6 million) is one of only seven unique timepieces with this reference conceived by legendary watchmaker Cottier.

QUEBEC .- The Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (MNBAQ) began a new chapter with the grand opening of the Espace Riopelle – Michael Audain Pavilion .

Together with Susanna Marcus Jablonski, Mostyn was commissioned to create Sweden’s firs ... More
International museum organization calls for transparency, curatorial independence and restoration of public access to materials documenting Colombia's social and political history.
BOGOTA.- The International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art (CIMAM) has expressed serious concern over the removal of artworks, photographs, documents and historical objects from the permanent displays of the Museo Nacional de Colombia, warning that the decision could undermine public access to the country's history and threaten the professional independence of museum institutions. In a statement issued by its Museum Watch initiative, CIMAM criticized the removal of at least 30 objects on October 15, 2026, following instructions from Colombia's Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Knowledges. The materials documented significant chapters in the country's recent history, including feminist and LGBTQ+ movements, political violence, the constitutional process of 1991 and the peace agreement signed in 2016. The removals have generated widespread criticism from cultural organizations, museum ... More
HOUSTON, TX.- American Modernism from the Charles Butt Collection is the first exhibition organized from the collection of philanthropist and Texas native Charles Butt. Featuring over 80 works of art by such icons as Stuart Davis, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jacob Lawrence, Thomas Hart Benton, Jackson Pollock, Joan Mitchell and Andrew Wyeth, as well as Texas artists like Everett Gee Jackson and Mary Bonner, the exhibition reflects and recontextualizes the multifold histories of American art by sharing Butt's perspective on American creativity and presenting his collection to the public for the first time.

Eliyah Mesayer, Letters from a Huntress no. 3, 2026. Sirio Ultra Black uncoated paper (185 g/m²), MDF board, black resin, suede string, 100 x 70 cm. 39.37 x 27.56 in.
COPENHAGEN.- In Letters from a Huntress, Eliyah Mesayer’s first solo exhibition with NILS STÆRK, the artist continues her ongoing project Illiyeen, an imaginary state. Conceived as both a poetic nation and a conceptual manifestation, Illiyeen is brought into being through stories, rituals, and symbols. It has its own flag, uniforms, postal service, national anthem, and manifest, offering a place for those who exist between borders – between reality and fiction, politics and poetry. Within the imagined geography of Illiyeen, the huntress appears as a traveler, messenger, and possible guardian. Her precise role remains unresolved, allowing her to move between different identities and meanings throughout the exhibition. Through this figure, Mesayer extends her ongoing exploration of belonging, nationhood, statelessness, movement, and the idea of home into a more intimate and poetic register. The works become forms of ... More
PARIS.- Galleria Continua is presenting, in its Marais exhibition space, in the heart of Paris, the solo exhibition of Michelangelo Pistoletto, Avant et après l’Arte Povera. Michelangelo Pistoletto is not only an Arte Povera artist, but one of the protagonists of the movement that Germano Celant theorised and defined in 1967. Arte Povera represents only one stage within a practice that now spans seventy years. Pistoletto’s artistic path began earlier and, above all, has continued to develop along a trajectory of its own. To tie him exclusively to Arte Povera would be to reduce the complexity and breadth of a practice that has continually transformed the relationship between art, the individual and society. In Pistoletto’s artistic history, there is a before and an after. These are not two separate moments, but successive phases of a practice that, through radical transformations, has laid the foundations of what is now his oeuvre. Or, if it is simply called a "work", perhaps tha ... More

Until this creation, no one had offered a 1-of-1 recreation of the Infinity Gauntlet with valuable gems as the Infinity Stones. The idea beg ... More

Grounded in the distinctive urban context of Seoul and its rapidly changing media environment, the Biennale has moved beyond a purely technological understanding of media ... More
Minja Gu explores migration, dietary restrictions, and global ethics at Alt Space LOOP SEOUL.- Reproductive labour moves across national borders. Korea, once subjected to colonial rule, now occupies a quasi-imperial position, drawing on resources, labour and care from the Global South. In Yangpyeong in 2018, Minja Gu met Lusi Sapitri, an Indonesian marriage migrant. Sapitri recounted how she had once eaten jajang-myeon (noodles in black bean sauce) without knowing it was made with pork. In her Korean household she is expected to cook Korean food, with pork, as part of her familial duty. She is expected to feed the family, yet has no say in setting the rules of the table. Middle Ground begins with a proposition that reverses this asymmetry. If everyone in the world sat at one table, bringing even taboos they no longer practised, what could they eat together? The exhibition turns the shared meal into an experiment, asking what happens ... More
Eva Fabbris is the new Artistic Director of Fondazione Società delle Api ROME.- The Fondazione Società delle Api announces the appointment of Eva Fabbris as Artistic Director. Already a member of the Advisory Board since its inception, Fabbris takes on a role that marks a new phase in the institutional development of Società delle Api, strengthening its curatorial structure while preserving the collective dimension that has characterized the Foundation. Her directorship will help give curatorial form to an already collective approach, which involves the role of artists and curators in shaping the cultural programme. The appointment comes at a particularly vibrant moment for the Foundation. With the opening of its Roman space at via Gregoriana 40 on 14 February 2026, Società delle Api gave expression to its nature and mission: to welcome and bring together artists, curators and scholars, and to create the conditions for shared projects to emerge ...

Salt Galata interrogates the evolution of the factory ISTANBUL.- Workplaces are among the most central yet least visible spaces of everyday life. They often remain outside the public eye as closed spaces to which there is “no admittance except on business.” Once a symbol of industrial capitalism with its chimneys rising above city centers, the factory largely lost its urban visibility after 1980, as production was reorganized on a global scale. As manufacturing facilities in city centers gave way to residential projects, shopping centers, and cultural venues, production moved to the outskirts of cities, Organized Industrial Zones, and new infrastructural geographies where logistics networks converge. Yet spaces of production extend beyond the physical boundaries of the factory; they transform the earth, everyday life, and digital space into a continuous field of work. Founded by Garanti BBVA, Salt’s new exhibition No Admittance ... More

Museum PARCUM presents Threading Landscapes at Park Abbey in Leuven LEUVEN.- After fifteen years of restoration, the historic monastic complex of Park Abbey in Leuven is opening fully to the public for the first time. Museum PARCUM marks this exceptional moment with Threading Landscapes: Art at Park Abbey, an ambitious exhibition featuring work by 24 contemporary artists from around the world. Nine artists have developed new projects in direct response to the abbey, its architecture, landscape, biodiversity, archives and history. This moment represents more than the completion of a restoration. It marks the beginning of a new phase. Heritage, after all, is not static, but an ongoing process of interpretation, care and meaning-making. How do we relate today to a place that carries almost nine centuries of history, while at the same time inviting us to shape its future? Museum PARCUM places this question at the heart ... More
Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art presents 14th edition Central Europe Eastern Time BERLIN.- The 14th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art takes place from June 5 to September 12, 2027 at various locations across Berlin and is curated by Vasyl Cherepanyn. Under the title Central Europe Eastern Time, the 14th Berlin Biennale proposes a new reading of Berlin from the East and offers a perspective on Europe shaped by those regions, experiences, and societal realities that have long been pushed to the margins of the European narrative. The title serves as a navigation tool, an instrument of orientation, and describes a chronotope in which space (tópos) and time (chrónos) are inseparably connected. It points to how shifting political, economic, and ideological systems define today’s conditions of human coexistence. In this sense, orientation is not only a question of where we are, but also of understanding the different historical and political ... More
