EDINBURGH.- One of the rarest scientific instruments in the collections of National Museums Scotland marks a major milestone this year as it turns 1000 years old. The object is an astrolabe, an intricate brass instrument made in 11th century Spain, which was used for charting the position of the stars. One of Europe’s oldest surviving signed and dated astrolabes, the object was made in Cordoba by Muhammad ibn al-Saffâr, and is dated 417 AH (the Islamic calendar), which equates to 1026-1027 AD. The two-dimensional model, representing the apparent motions of celestial bodies, is used to observe, calculate and predict the position of the Sun and the stars; and can be applied to purposes such as time keeping, wayfinding, and astrology. Principal Curator of Science, Dr Rebekah Higgitt, says of the anniversary, “As this incredible object ... More
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Sculptor Kristine Mays’ work has entered the permanent collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC), marking a significant institutional recognition of her powerful explorations of history, spirituality, and contemporary political life. The acquisition coincides with Kristine MAYS: State of the Union, now on view at Modernism, which presents a focused selection of twelve politically charged sculptures addressing the current social and ideological climate in the United States. The Smithsonian has acquired Mays’ Hush Harbor, a work described by Dr. Teddy Reeves, Curator of Religion at NMAAHC, as “profoundly important” for making visible “the sacred invisible—those clandestine spaces where enslaved people forged a revolutionary religious ...

First edition copy of Joseph Smith, Jr.’s “The Book of Mormon…..” (Palmyra: Printed by E.B. Grandin, 1830), with ownership signatures on the free front endpaper. ($250,000)
WILTON, CONN.- University Archives realized nearly $1.2 million in its February 18, 2026 auction, highlighted by a record-breaking $250,000 sale of a first edition of The Book of Mormon (1830). All prices include a 25 percent buyer’s premium. The result surpassed the prior auction record of $240,000 for the title, firmly establishing a new benchmark for this foundational work of American religious history.
The buyer, Adam Fleischer of Fleischer's Auctions, disclosed that he purchased the volume for his personal collection, not for resale at present. “While we are mostly known as the top auctioneer of rare manuscripts, we have increasingly risen in the rare book space as evidenced by the sale of The Book of Mormon and other items,” said John Reznikoff, President of University Archives. ...

Dorothea Rockburne, Musician Angel: Parallelogram, Diamond, 1979-81. Watercolor on vellum, 56 1/8 x 48 1/8 in (142.6 x 122.2 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- David Nolan Gallery will present Time Measures Itself, a solo exhibition of new and historical works by Dorothea Rockburne (b. 1929). This is Rockburne’s second solo show at David Nolan Gallery. One of America’s great artists, Rockburne first exhibited at 24 East 81st Street in the early 1970s with Klaus Kertess and his Bykert Gallery. Over half a century later, some of Rockburne’s most seminal pieces return to the same gallery space where they debuted, accompanied by new and recent works. This exhibition offers a unique insight into the development of Rockburne’s practice with industrial materials, underlined by her unwavering dedication to the expansion of artistic thinking. While attending Black Mountain College in the early 1950s, Rockburne studied with mathematician Max Dehn ... More

SEOUL.- Distancing brings together new works by four artists – Kei Imazu, Juree Kim, Nosik Lim and Maria Taniguchi – whose practices explore how images and matter come into focus over time. The exhibition proposes a mode of looking that privileges distance and duration. Here, observing from afar and dwelling in stillness does not obscure perception, but recalibrates focus. Rather than resisting instantaneity, the exhibition traces the point at which sensation catches up with us: when that which escapes immediate grasp begins to settle through distance and time. Across painting and sculpture, the featured artists approach this recalibration through distinct formal and material strategies – repetition, the slow transformation of clay, layered opacity and the juxtaposition of disparate image-worlds. Encountered at the threshold of the exhibition, Maria Taniguchi’s paintings capture this attitude in its most distilled form. Composed of repeated ... More
BRAUNSCHWEIG.- The Museum für Photographie Braunschweig has opened a dialog-driven double exhibition bringing together the work of two major figures in contemporary photography: German portrait photographer Angelika Platen and Finnish artist Elina Brotherus. Presented across the museum’s Gatehouse 1 and Gatehouse 2 spaces, the show explores how portraiture can reveal the complex relationships between artists, identity, and the social role of art. Although separated by generation and artistic approach, both photographers examine what it means to represent artists and artistic practice. Platen, born in 1942, is widely regarded as one of the key visual chroniclers of the international art scene since the late 1960s. Brotherus, born in 1972, approaches portraiture from a more conceptual and introspective angle, often using self-staged imagery and symbolic references to reflect on artistic identity. In Gatehouse 1, the exhibition highlights Platen’s portraits and documentary photographs from the ... More
HONG KONG.- Flowers Gallery Hong Kong is presenting Domestic Setting: Part I, the first edition of a new exhibition series that examines artistic production through a domestic lens. Conceived as a sequence of smaller-format group exhibitions, the series features works aligned with the physical dimensions, temporal rhythms, and emotional landscapes of the home. Across painting, drawing, sculpture, and mixed media, the domestic interior is framed as a critical structure through which care, labour, gender, and space are continuously negotiated. With the home a historically gendered space, the exhibition also considers how acts of making mirror or interrupt patterns and expectations of maintenance, repetition, and quiet endurance. Within this framework, the domestic emerges as both a site of containment and a potential space of resistance, where marginal gestures and minor forms accrue meaning through intimate, sustained presence rather than spectacle. Labour and the body emerge explicitly in the work ... More
Natia Lemay, Provisional, 2026. Oil on canvas, 60 x 48 inches, 152.4 x 121.9 cm.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Wilding Cran Gallery presents Just Short of Contact, an exhibition of new paintings by Toronto based artist, Natia Lemay, that explore domestic space as a complex of interiority, intrusion, and recovery. Throughout the exhibition, the domestic emerges as a site of memory and quiet tension, where intimacy and absence coexist in a state of unresolved proximity. Domestic objects act as vessels and placeholders, capable of holding emotional charge. An empty chair stands in for what is no longer present; a collapsed or broken window blurs interior and exterior. In the work Saturation, a figure sits in a vacant room overgrown with dandelions seeping up through the floorboards. The intrusion of the natural world feels like a breach, an infiltration of overgrowth within a space of refuge. Throughout the work, the omnipresence of black absorbs and obscures, slowing perception and holding the viewer's gaze in suspension. The primary use of black as both material and concept is an ongoing investi ... More

Casey Bolding, Soft sun, 2026. Oil, acrylic and plaster on canvas in artist frame, 66 × 50⅞ in. (167.64 × 129.24 cm); 66¾ × 51⅝ in. (169.55 × 131.14 cm) framed.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Casey Bolding’s paintings make memory material. Using plaster and industrial paint in concert with oil, acrylic, and Flashe, the artist builds up densely layered surfaces which he then scrapes and reworks, excavating embedded imagery drawn from mementos, photographs, and art history. As personal as they are process-based, Bolding’s paintings of landscapes and interiors are particularly informed by his childhood in the plains of Colorado, his longtime practice of graffiti writing in abandoned buildings and trains, and commercial faux-finishing techniques learned from his uncle. For Bloodstream, Bolding has created a suite of works that he describes as “mirages or scenes captured from the perspective of someone floating down the Colorado River,” from the Rocky Mountains to the Mexico-California border. This traveler encounters the West in what Bolding calls a “post-historic haze” that ... More
Alexandre Estrela (Fondation Vasarely, Aix en Provence, 2015).
VENICE.- RedSkyFalls by Alexandre Estrela will represent Portugal at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. Curated by Ana Baliza and Ricardo Nicolau, it will be held from May 9 to November 22, 2026. The artist presents a new installation that expands the logic of a homonymous 2019 work, now working as an operating system that integrates new digital beings. The project was selected for the Biennale Arte 2026, structured “In Minor Keys,” as it resonates with the piece’s quieter registers. When the red sky falls, paradigms shift between divine providence, science as credo, data as oracle, and new obscurantist myths. Seismographs register these sideways movements, as humanity inscribes environmental and social fracture lines into the Earth’s crust. Tectonic manifestations open fissures, not only in the ground but also in thought. RedSkyFalls proposes another way of reading—and responding to—these ruptures, grounded in the observation of a ...

World Museum's beloved dinosaur gallery returns LIVERPOOL.- World Museum’s beloved Dinosaurs and Natural World gallery reopened to the public on Saturday 14 February following a refresh, under the new name of Wild World: Dinosaurs and Natural History.
