BILBAO.- The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao presents Jasper Johns: Night Driver, an ambitious retrospective dedicated to one of the most celebrated artists of our time. Night Driver is entitled after a 1960 drawing by Johns, described by the artist as his first work based on a personal feeling. The show features nearly 140 works, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, an artist’s book, and a stage design. The pieces are organized chronologically, reflecting Johns’s repeated return to certain themes. In this presentation, paintings and sculptures are shown separately from works on paper. Jasper Johns was born in Augusta, Georgia, in 1930 and grew up in South Carolina, where he was raised before continuing his studies in New York. In 1953, he moved to New York, where he soon formed close friendships with figures such as artist Robert Rauschenberg, composer John Cage, ... More
It was located during archaeological rescue work on section 7. Photo: Maya Train Project Conservation Area
CHETUMAL.- A funerary urn recovered during archaeological salvage work along Section 7 of the Maya Train has been restored and digitally modeled by specialists from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History, offering a new window into the ritual world and beliefs of the ancient Maya. The zoomorphic vessel, found west of the community of Nicolás Bravo in the municipality of Othón P. Blanco, Quintana Roo, was discovered in a ritual context alongside ceramic, lithic, and shell-related materials. Made of clay using coiling, modeling, and slip techniques, the urn is distinguished by the representation of a nocturnal bird, a motif charged with symbolic meaning in Maya thought. According to archaeologist Ramón Carrillo Sánchez, who coordinated the salvage work in that section of the Maya Train route, nocturnal birds such as owls were linked in pre-Hispanic Maya culture to ideas of death, war, divination, and the underworld’s celestial dimension. The bird represented ... More
ROME.- The Museo dell’Ara Pacis opens tomorrow a major retrospective dedicated to Robert Mapplethorpe, bringing together more than 200 photographs by one of the defining figures of 20th-century photography. Titled Robert Mapplethorpe: The forms of beauty, the exhibition runs from May 29 through October 4, 2026, and looks beyond the artist’s reputation for provocation to focus on his enduring pursuit of form, balance and classical beauty. Curated by Denis Curti, the exhibition presents Mapplethorpe as an artist deeply concerned with perfection. Whether photographing a flower, a face, a nude body or a celebrity sitter, he approached the image with an almost sculptural sense of light and composition. His camera, often a Hasselblad, became a tool for shaping space, transforming bodies and objects into images of striking clarity and formal discipline. The show arrives in Rome after previous presentations in Venice and Milan, closing a larger exhibition project ... More
MUNICH.- Sonja Braas examines the formation of perception and the ways in which photography mediates our relationship to the world. Even though photographic images may be staged or manipulated, they remain culturally embedded as forms of evidence—circulating through social media, news media, and personal snapshots as if they were transparent records of reality. At the core of Sonja Braas’s practice lies this tension: between trust and doubt, between what appears self-evident and what is revealed as constructed. The photographs evoke idealized visions of the natural world; at once idyllic, sublime, or catastrophically destructive, yet they originate in meticulously constructed sets that the artist builds and subsequently photographs. A tornado formed from wire and cotton, an iceberg modeled in concrete, or a jungle assembled from pipe cleaners all appear ... More
Paul P., a monograph of the artist’s work, was recently published by Maureen Paley in collaboration with Gregory R. Miller & Company and Greene Naftali.
LONDON.- Maureen Paley presents The Fugitive Marvels of Sunset, the fifth solo exhibition of Paul P. at the gallery. For over 25 years, the foundation of the artist’s practice has been a series of portraits of anonymous young men, their images appropriated from gay erotic magazines produced between the late 1960s and the early 1980s; a period bracketed by the beginning of gay liberation and the onset of the AIDS crisis. The head-and-shoulders format he favours constricts the libidinal pull of the source material, directing attention instead toward the models’ expressions of youthful reticence and self-knowledge. P. has written, “beyond the gay images from the 1970s, I look further back to Whistler, Sargent, Montesquiou, and Proust to locate the atmosphere in which to portray this physicality.” These defiant dandies of the late 19th and early 20th centuries sought to represent queerness under ...

Lindner Doll, Jann Haworth, 1965.
LONDON.- Gazelli Art House presents Taste and Decency, a group exhibition that brings into dialogue pioneering figures of Pop with a younger generation of artists to examine how consumption, sexuality, and social behaviour are staged and contested. From the rise of mass advertising and consumer culture in the 1960s to today’s environment of self-advertising, digital performance, and constant image circulation, the exhibition traces a continuity in how bodies and desires are shaped for public view. What once appeared in the glossy surfaces of print media and television now unfolds across social platforms and algorithmic feeds, where the boundaries between private and public, acceptable and inappropriate, are continually negotiated. Through humour, exaggeration, and material transformation, the artists test the limits of decorum. Foregrounding the loud and the impolite, they question who defines “taste” and “decency” in a culture structured by visibility and consumption. ... More
Robert Peterson (b. 1981). Miss Virginia, 2024. Oil on canvas. Private collection.
YONKERS, NY.- The Hudson River Museum presents two groundbreaking exhibitions opening to the public on Friday, May 29 that celebrate the often overlooked aspects of Black life and culture. Black Cowboys in America: Photographs by Ron Tarver—the first museum exhibition of this series—illuminates a rich visual narrative of Black cowboy life on ranches, at rodeos, and in urban streetscapes, documented by Pulitzer Prize–winning photographer Ron Tarver. In Robert Peterson: Journeys, Oklahoma-based artist Robert Peterson elevates everyday figures into inspiring, heroic archetypes—hardworking mothers, protective fathers, loyal siblings—and, in the process, expands the thematic parameters of classical portraiture. The exhibitions will be on view from May 29 through August 30, 2026. Masha Turchinsky, Anita K. Hersh Director and CEO states, “Through stunning photography and portraiture, these exhibitions illuminate the depth and diversity of Black life across geographies and gene ... More
Portrait of Marguerite Hersberger, photo: Roland Schmidt, Zurich.
WALDENBUCH.- Over the past decades, Marguerite Hersberger has developed a body of constructive works that convey a highly atmospheric sensuality. By combining a precise geometric vocabulary with clearly thought-out design, as is typical of Concrete Art or Minimalism, she conjures up vibrant constellations of shapes and colours. Although the various series that artist has developed are quite distinct from one another, she demonstrates an enormous consistency in her engagement with the theme of space and her preference for working with acrylic glass. Her oeuvre is also consistent inasmuch as it is based throughout on the same principles: limiting herself to elementary forms and structures, and playing with transparency, colour, light and shadow to create space. After a phase of experimenting with small acrylic prisms that refract incident light, Hersberger soon began to employ transparent plastic glass, chiefly in the form of panes. Since the early 1970s, she has used it to create ... More
Barcelona-based painter Guim Tió explores memory and perception in his signature portraits of figures turned away or adrift in imposing landscapes.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- François Ghebaly presents Pillow Paintings, Guim Tió’s debut solo exhibition at the Los Angeles gallery. Barcelona-based painter Guim Tió explores memory and perception in his signature portraits of figures turned away or adrift in imposing landscapes. Working primarily in oil and colored pencil, Tió leads viewers through emotional territories where feelings are inscribed directly into environments. The paintings in Tió’s latest exhibition Pillow Paintings were created in dialogue with the artist’s reading of Sei Shōnagon’s Pillow Book, a 11th-century text recording courtly life during the Heian period in Japan. Despite the vast difference in their contexts, Shōnagon and Tió share a remarkable sensitivity to the poetry embedded in small moments, intimate gestures, and vistas briefly glimpsed. Just as Shōnagon’s Pillow Book consists largely of lists (of likes, dislikes, “Elegant Things,” “Things That Should Be Short,” etcetera) ... More

Danish artist Thomas Dambo brings recycled trash trolls indoors ISHØJ.- For the first time, artist Thomas Dambo moves indoors into a museum setting. This happened when Arken opened the exhibition The Garbage Man, featuring his popular trolls made from recycled materials and waste. The exhibition invites us all to see the potential in what we throw away—and to use waste as a source of creative inspiration. On Sunday, May 24, 2026, Arken opened its doors to Thomas Dambo’s first museum exhibition, The Garbage Man. The artist has created a new sensory and imaginative universe uniquely for Arken. Here, waste and recycled materials are transformed into the story of a group of whimsical and mischievous trolls who, under the cover of night, move into the museum, take it over, and redesign it as they think it should be. For a museum located on the West Coast (Vestegnen), an exhibition with Thomas Dambo (b. 1979) ... More
Richard Saltoun Gallery hosts first UK solo exhibition of American artist Ree Morton LONDON.- Richard Saltoun Gallery is presenting Ree Morton: Signs and Gestures, the first UK solo exhibition dedicated to the American conceptual and feminist artist Ree Morton (1936–1977). A pioneering figure, Morton’s work anticipated the turn towards installation, narrative, and performance that came to define artistic practice in the 1970s. Born in 1936 in Ossining, New York, Ree Morton, a mother of three, graduated from art school in her 30s following a period as a nurse and a housewife. Describing her evolution as ‘the feminist classic of out of the kitchen; into the studio’, she led a brief but highly productive itinerant career, working and teaching across the United States before her sudden and untimely death at the age of 40. Situated within the context of emerging feminist discourse and shifting understandings of the role of women artists, Morton ... More

Zander Galerie Paris exhibits Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel's groundbreaking Evidence series PARIS.- Zander Galerie Paris announces an exhibition showcasing a selection of fifty-six photographs from Evidence, the groundbreaking photographic project by Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel. First exhibited and published in 1977, this seminal body of work fundamentally challenges the conventions of photography by presenting images without captions or contextual information, inviting viewers to question how meaning is constructed and perceived. Larry Sultan (1946–2009) and Mike Mandel (b. 1950) met at the San Francisco Art Institute and began their collaboration in 1973, at a time when conceptual art was redefining the role of photography. Their earlier projects, including Billboards (1973–89) and How to Read Music in One Evening (1974), already explored the circulation and framing of images within public and media spaces. Both artists were raised ... More
Matthew Cole opens debut exhibition Cabin Fever at BEERS London LONDON.- Matthew Cole’s first exhibition at BEERS London, Cabin Fever, sees the American artist translating the external world into uncanny, psychologically charged paintings of interior spaces. Following an invitation to an artist residency in Canada, Cole (born in New Jersey and now based in New York) travelled to Newfoundland (Pouch Cove) to upend his practice. What he hadn’t anticipated was how the natural world would turn inward upon his return to the studio. His venture along the rugged North Atlantic coastline is reinterpreted through narrative-driven compositions that prioritize domestic and interior spaces. Perhaps this shift reflects a deeper yearning: an insistence on the inevitable, and a pull toward spaces just beyond reach. Cole draws on Atlantic Canada’s rich cultural traditions of song and storytelling. The resulting works are quietly, psychologically ... More
