LONDON.- Picasso: A Legacy opened at Halcyon’s flagship at 148 New Bond Street on 16 October 2025. The exhibition features over 130 artworks from the last four decades of the artist’s life, comprising works on paper and ceramics. The legacy of Picasso is being explored across six major themes: Artist and Model; Artist’s Muses; Alter Egos; Finding Peace; Still Lifes and Ceramics and Creativity, Legacy and Death. The themes guide visitors through the last four decades of Picasso’s life, where we encounter the artist’s lovers and muses, mythological alter egos, playful zoomorphic ceramics, as well as feats of frantic artistic output in Picasso’s final decade. The ceramics include Chouette (1968) and Vase Deux anses hautes (1953). These whimsical experiments in three dimensions are part of a wider selection of ceramics on display which encompass the years 1948 to 1968 made while Picasso was living in the sout ... More
BADEN.- Arnulf Rainer is among the most significant artists of the present day. One of his most important sources of inspiration was Art Brut, which he became aware of during the postwar period through his exploration of Surrealism. The term Art Brut (“raw art”) was coined in 1945 by Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985), who used it to refer to art outside of established norms, such as art produced by children or people with mental illnesses. “Raw” or “brut” in this context indicates art untouched by cultural influences. In addition to Surrealism, it was the discovery of the artists at Gugging Psychiatric Hospital that fueled Rainer’s interest in Art Brut. Through the 1965 book Schizophrenie und Kunst (Schizophrenia and art) by Leo Navratil, the founder of the Gugging Center for Art-Psychotherapy, Rainer came into contact with the artists there. This encounter developed into a long-term involvement with these artists and their art—in Rainer’s collecting a ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- The Whitney Museum of American Art’s exhibition High Wire: Calder’s Circus at 100, which opens on October 18, celebrates the centennial of one of the most cherished and storied works in the Whitney’s collection, Alexander Calder’s magnificent Calder’s Circus (1926–31). With over 100 wire sculptures and objects, Calder’s Circus highlights the themes of movement, balance, suspense, and ephemerality that would later define the artist’s signature mobiles. High Wire is the Whitney’s first exhibition dedicated to Calder’s Circus since moving to 99 Gansevoort and commemorates the artist’s innovation and the enduring impact this work has had on twentieth-century art. While living as a young American artist in Paris in 1926, ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Christie's will present Alexander Calder's Painted Wood as a leading highlight in the 20th Century Evening Sale taking place November 17, 2025 in New York. Measuring nearly seven feet (two meters) in height and width, Painted Wood is the largest and most significant of the artist's early wood Constellation mobiles to come to auction. The mobile is Calder at his very best, simultaneously demonstrating his strong creative abilities and his engineering prowess, balancing 11 individual components – several taking fish-like forms and others more abstracted. Kept within the same private collection for more than three decades, Painted Wood comes to Christie's exceptionally fresh-to-market from the esteemed collection of Patricia Phelps de Cisneros and has never appeared at auction. Estimated at $15 million – $20 million, this exceptional work carries the highest auction estimate ever for a work ... More

BRISTOL.- Arnolfini, Bristol’s centre for international contemporary arts, presents British artist Emma Talbot’s latest exhibition Everything is Energy this autumn, 18 October 2025 to 8 February 2026. Through vast silk painting installations, intimate drawings, sculptural forms (which the artist refers to as ‘intangible beings) and animation, Talbot creates immersive environments that explore our relationship with nature, technology and one another. Talbot’s latest body of work captures the pulsating force of the exhibition’s title Everything is Energy, as it gathers and grows, scooping up myths, objects and provocations and creating a container and ‘tool that brings energy home’. Steeped in folklore and mythology her work playfully takes audiences both back and forth in time, embracing ancient civilisations and a future dictated by scientific and technological developments.

Ahmet Doğu İpek portrait.
ST IVES.- This autumn, Tate St Ives presents new work by Turkish artist Ahmet Doğu İpek, developed during his 2025 residency at Porthmeor Studios. His practice consists mainly of watercolour, ink and charcoal works on paper, created through a detailed and meditative process. His work often explores the relationship between the built environment and nature, using repetition and pattern to reflect organic forms. İpek’s process involves meticulous mark-making, layering and repetition, creating compositions that shift between abstraction and representation. His use of monochrome palettes and fine detail brings attention to subtle variations in light, texture and movement. He frequently explores themes of transformation, endurance and the impact of time on materials, drawing inspiration from natural processes and human-made constructions. This exhibition is part of the fourth collaborative iteration of the Artist Residency and Commissions Programme between Tate St Ives and SAHA, w ... More
Cornelia Baltes, Tan, 2025, acrylic on canvas, maple wood frame, 80 x 60 cm, 31 1/2 x 23 5/8 in.
PARIS.- Andréhn-Schiptjenko announced The Sun Stumbles In, German painter Cornelia Baltes’ first solo exhibition in Paris. The opening will take place on Saturday 18 October 2025 from 4–8pm in the presence of the artist and the exhibition will run through Saturday 22 November 2025. Cornelia Baltes’ work stands at the intersection of memory, observation, and abstraction — a zone of productive ambiguity where the visual language of painting becomes both playful and profound. In The Sun Stumbles In, Baltes transforms the gallery into an immersive chromatic landscape. Her compositions — built from airbrushed gradients, bold gestural marks, and meticulous brushwork — inhabit the delicate threshold between control and spontaneity, figuration and abstraction, the intimate and the universal. Baltes’ paintings are grounded not in direct observation but in the filtering process of memory. She often begins with sketches derived from remembered experiences rather t ... More

Art and sports merge in new Nelson-Atkins exhibition KANSAS CITY, MO.- Kansas City’s role as a host site for FIFA World Cup 26 inspired a new exhibition at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. The fifth exhibition in the museum’s KC Art Now initiative, Personal Best features six local artist-athletes at the top of their game.

Image, material, and money: Paul Sietsema's new works challenge art's cultural currency in Paris show PARIS.- Marian Goodman Gallery Paris presents Paul Sietsema's second solo exhibition in France from 18 October to 20 December 2025. This exhibition brings together new works and older works, including two 16mm films. As seen throughout the exhibition, Sietsema's work navigates the complex status of representation, exploring how meaning is constructed at the intersection of image and material. If art is a type of cultural language, Sietsema takes a dialectic approach that negates, disables, or redirects the natural flow of communication. Seven new works created over the past year will be shown on the ground floor gallery. At first glance, the subject of each is a rendering of something familiar—a telephone, coin, paintbrush, et al—and yet, through the many layers of distance intrinsic to Sietsema’s process, these images behave as ghosts or containers of those ...

Special exhibition "The Declaration's Journey" features printing press that propelled Chilean independence PHILADELPHIA, PA.- America’s path to independence, the people who walked it, and Philadelphia’s role in securing it, all went on to both directly and indirectly inform the subsequent independence movements of many nations around the world. One compelling example of the influence of the United States on an independence movement abroad will be encapsulated by an international loan object from Chile set for display at the Museum of the American Revolution for the full run of The Declaration’s Journey, a special exhibition on view from Oct. 18, 2025 through Jan. 3, 2027 and presented by Griffin Catalyst.
