PARIS.- The Louvre has opened a special presentation devoted to a major promised donation from collector Michel Lacoste, bringing together 100 pieces of French silverwork from the 16th to the 18th century. Titled “The Michel Lacoste Donation to the Louvre Museum: French Silverwork from Mangot to Puiforcat,” the exhibition is on view in the museum’s Sully Wing, Room 605, through January 11, 2027. For more than six months, visitors will be able to see the Lacoste pieces displayed together alongside the Louvre’s own holdings of silver and ceramics. The donation, formalized in November 2025, reflects decades of collecting by Lacoste, the youngest son of French tennis legend René Lacoste, whose nickname “the Crocodile” became the emblem of the famous sportswear brand founded in 1933. Because Michel Lacoste is a Swiss national, the gift was structured as a deferred donation of existing property, meaning the works will become property of the French State upon his death. ... More

How often, walking down a crowded city street, or looking out a train window, does one wonder about the countless lives flickering by? In After the Encounter Almine Rech Brussels presents a selection of paintings that speak to that impulse, centering private moments, dreams, and imagined worlds. Together, deeply idiosyncratic scenes become shared reflections, each work contributing to a collective sense of humanity. Featuring Cece Philips, Christian Quin Newell, Christopher Hartmann, Chloe Wise, Amanda Wall, and Konrad Żukowski, the show brings together artists who transform lived experience into expressive form. Intimacy is as a guiding force, with feeling taking precedence over explanation, and sensation over narrative. Vivid images and ungua ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- First impressions count, especially in Milano. In this unprecedented photographic journey, editor Karl Kolbitz opens the door to 144 of the city’s most sumptuous entrance halls, captivating in their diversity and splendor. These vibrant Milanese entryways, until now hidden away behind often restrained façades, are revealed as dazzling examples of Italian modernism, mediating public and private space with vivid configurations of color and form, from floors of juxtaposed stones to murals of minimalist geometry. The collection spans buildings from 1920 to 1970 and showcases the work of some of the city’s most illustrious architects and designers, including Giovanni Muzio, Gio Ponti, Piero Portaluppi, and Luigi Caccia Dominioni, as well as non-pedigreed architecture of equal impact and interest. The photographs for the publication were exclusively shot by Delfino Sisto Legnani, Paola Pansini, and Matthew Billings, each evoking the entryways with individual sensibility ... More
EDINBURGH.- Scotland’s First Warriors brings together over 200 objects spanning thousands of years, to explore the origins and impact of conflict and violence in prehistoric Scotland, from the Neolithic to the Roman conquest. The exhibition is free to visit. The remains of a man aged between 17 – 25 years old were discovered in a stone-lined cist at Marshill in Alloa. He was buried around AD 10-70, with an iron sword in a leather scabbard placed carefully across his chest, and a spear laid alongside him. He was richly adorned with ornaments including a glass bead pendant, bronze cloak pin, and bronze and iron rings from a belt around his waist. Two bronze toe rings suggest he wore sandals, a sign of high status. Very few Iron Age burials have been discovered in Scotland and those including weapons are exceptionally rare. The Marshill burial represents the reemergence of the Scottish warrior in response to the new and formidable threat of Rome during the first century AD. Dr Matthew Knigh ... More

ZURICH.- Hauser & Wirth’s Bahnhofstrasse gallery marks the centenary of the Polish artist Alina Szapocznikow’s birth with an autobiographical exhibition. A celebration across two cities, Alina Szapocznikow. Autobiography in Fragments opens alongside Galerie Loevenbruck’s exhibition in Paris and charts the artist’s explosively inventive but brief career. These two complementary exhibitions together feature a work from each year that Szapocznikow was active—from the mid-1940s to the early 1970s—to reveal the full expressive force of the artist’s practice, which reimagined sculpture as an intimate register of lived experience. Born in Poland to a Jewish family in 1926, Alina Szapocznikow survived internment in concentration camps during the Holocaust as a teenager. Immediately after ... More
WINTERTHUR.- With the second edition of One Another, Fotomuseum Winterthur continues its dialogue between the collection and contemporary artists. The French-Vietnamese photographer Nhu Xuan Hua (*1989) engages with works from the collection. The title refers to encounters that give rise to a multilayered network of interrelationships, in which diversity and difference connect rather than divide. In her multidisciplinary practice Nhu Xuan Hua delves into the construction of memory, the feeling of uprootedness and the legacy of the diaspora. Her first publication, Tropism, Consequences of a Displaced Memory (Area Books, 2022), is based on family archives. She looks at the interplay of memory, time and digital transformation, examining how memories, emotions and traumas are at once passed on and lost. Working with a mix of narrative and conceptual imagery, amplified by means of mixed media, Hua ... More

TAIPEI.- “Attunements—are they not like cloud shadows flitting across the landscape, utterly fleeting and elusive?”—“Description of the Situation: Fundamental Attunement” by Martin Heidegger “The most perfect music first responds to human affairs, then accords with the principles of the Universe and aligns with the Five Virtues. Only then can it bring order to the spontaneity of Nature itself, harmonize the four seasons, and achieve perfect attunement among all living things.”—“Outer Chapter: The Revolution of Heaven,” in the Zhuangzi How might we attune our bodies and minds in an era characterized as much by potential as polycrisis of environmental upheaval and shifting geopolitical possibilities? Curated by Hsu Fang-Tze, Attunement: Contemporary Politics between Mindscape and Soundscape brings together the work of thirteen artists who deploy sound as a political and ecological medium. In other words, to investigate ... More

ARLES.- LUMA Arles is presenting Bodies Never Lie, an exhibition by Canadian artist Stan Douglas (b. 1960, Vancouver), a pioneering photographer and filmmaker who, for more than four decades, has transformed the possibilities of lens-based media. His work revisits specific historical events, musical forms, and cultural narratives in order to ask how history is produced, represented, and remembered. With exceptional attention to image, sound, editing, and display, Douglas creates works in which the past is never closed but returns as a field of unresolved tensions that continue to shape the present. For Bodies Never Lie, Douglas has been commissioned by LUMA Arles to create Exquisite Corpse, a new multi-channel video installation shot in spring 2026, which unfolds at the center of the exhibition space. The work draws on exquisite corpse, a Surrealist parlor game celebrated by André Breton, in which fragmented contributions are assembled into an unforeseen collective form. ... More

MAKI Gallery presents Keiran Brennan Hinton's second solo exhibition 'Nearsighted' TOKYO.- MAKI Gallery is presenting Nearsighted, Canadian artist Keiran Brennan Hinton’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Comprising 28 new paintings, the exhibition marks a profound development in Brennan Hinton’s ongoing engagement with observation, domestic space, and the quiet resonance of everyday life. Painted during a long winter in Toronto, the works in Nearsighted are rooted in the intimate rhythms of the home: a figure knitting beneath the light, a cup of coffee left unfinished, an apple core turning brown on a plate, a half-made sweater resting nearby. In Knitting Beneath the Light, the exhibition’s central image, the domestic act of knitting becomes a quiet counterpart to painting itself—an accumulation of attention, repetition, and time. Works such as Late Winter Interior, An Afternoon in March, January 12th Reflection, and After ... More
Ben Brown Fine Arts presents group exhibition 'Nature, Abstracted' curated by Sean Zhang HONG KONG.- Ben Brown Fine Arts is presenting Nature, Abstracted, an exhibition curated by New York-based curator and advisor Sean Zhang. The exhibition brings together eleven artists whose practices share a sustained engagement with the logic of the natural world. The exhibition takes as its premise a statement Gerhard Richter has returned to across decades of practice: that nature possesses an inherent logic, a structural intelligence in the behaviour of water, the branching of trees, the stratification of earth, and that abstraction, at its most ambitious, aspires to embody that same intelligence. The eleven artists assembled here approach this proposition from vastly different starting points. Richter’s squeegee-built canvases encode the logic of geological accumulation and erosion in each layered surface. Yoan Capote is known for works fabricated ... More

Johanna Breede PHOTOKUNST opens group exhibition exploring hidden connections between photographs BERLIN.- Johanna Breede PHOTOKUNST has opened Elective Affinities, a group exhibition that brings together works by 24 photographers in a series of carefully constructed visual dialogues. The exhibition is on view in Berlin from July 4 through October 23, 2026. Taking its title from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s idea of “elective affinities,” the exhibition explores the mysterious pull between images: the way photographs made by different artists, in different places and at different moments in time, can seem to recognize one another. For the exhibition, Johanna Breede has arranged works in diptychs, placing photographs side by side to reveal unexpected echoes of form, light, gesture, atmosphere, and emotion. Many of the artists included never met. Some worked decades apart. Others come from entirely different cultural and geographic contexts. Yet, when their works ... More
ZKM opens major exhibition exploring media art and sensuality KARLSRUHE.- Since antiquity, Eros has embodied the dynamic principle of life in art, mythology, and philosophy. As a sensuous visual and conceptual figure, he represents not only erotic desire, but also the driving force behind cultural evolution and renewal. According to an ancient creation myth, the creator god hatched from a silver cosmic egg as a principle of order emerging from primordial chaos. In Greek philosophy, Eros served as a mediator between heaven, earth, and the arts. His presence makes humans feel a sensual draw towards life and a desire to resonate with the world. The exhibition Silver Egg calls for this type of erotic attitude toward the world and asks: Which media and modes of perception do artists employ to engage with the longings and shortcomings of our time? Which choices do artists make in terms of content and form, and how ... More
Rare 1776 Holt Broadside goes on public display at SUNY Purchase PURCHASE, NY.- The Declaration Distributed: Westchester County’s Holt Broadside of 1776 opened at The Neuberger Museum of Art, SUNY Purchase on Saturday, July 4. The story told in The Declaration Distributed: Westchester County’s Holt Broadside of 1776 is more than the story of the Broadside. It is the story of a revolution in progress, a revolution unfinished. It is the story of the ways in which those revolutionary ideas spread through New York State by way of the Holt Broadside. According to Tracy Fitzpatrick, director of the Neuberger Museum of Art, SUNY Purchase, “The exhibition will offer visitors a rare opportunity to view this historic document. It focuses on the document, its printer, the role of printing during the Revolution, the first reader of the document in New York State who lived on the land where SUNY Purchase now stands, its whereabouts ...

The exhibition will be on view in the David M. Rubenstein Treasures Gallery through July 3, 2027. “The Declaration’s Promise” begins with America’s revolutionary moment – featuring a rarely displayed treasure, Thomas Jefferson’s original rough draft of the Declaration of Independence – and then uses language from the Declaration’s famous phrases to show the founding document’s impact since 1776.
