ALCUDIA, MALLORCA.- Some museums are defined by their collections. Others by the buildings that house them. Sa Bassa Blanca Museum belongs to a rarer category: a place where art, architecture and landscape form part of the same experience. Located in Es Mal Pas, in the north of Mallorca, the museum occupies a protected natural setting between the sea and the mountains. Created by the artists and collectors Yannick Vu and Ben Jakober, together with the philanthropist Georges Coulon Karlweis, the foundation was established in 1993 and opened to the public in 2001. Since then, it has developed into one of the island’s most distinctive cultural projects, far from the conventional image of a museum as a closed container for objects. ... More
"El Prado in the light of the eclipse" Self-Portrait. Dürer.
MADRID.- The Museo Nacional del Prado has turned an astronomical event into an experiment in looking. In a new audiovisual project titled The Prado in the Light of the Eclipse, the museum explores how some of its best-known paintings might appear as the light gradually changes during a solar eclipse. Rather than treating the eclipse simply as a spectacle, the project uses it to examine something fundamental to painting: the way light shapes color, form, atmosphere and emotion. As the simulated eclipse advances across the scenes, familiar works take on altered tonalities and contrasts, inviting viewers to consider how even subtle changes in illumination can transform the experience of an image. The audiovisual piece was developed by AMB Piensa using a combination of artificial intelligence, digital creation and traditional graphic intervention. Video-generation models were used to recreate depth, camera movement and the progression of the eclipse across the ... More
Sean Scully, Wall of Light Vermillion, 2026. Oil on linen, 142.2 × 127 cm (56 × 50 in).
SALZBURG.- The exhibition To Feel brings together oil paintings and watercolours from Sean Scully’s formative Wall of Light series. Begun in 1998, this series features vertical and horizontal blocks of colour that form pictorial architectures reminiscent of brickwork. Dark tones, which evoke compact wooden beams, alternate with contrasting, brighter colours, coalescing to form rhythmic units within the compositions. The impetus for this series stems from a small watercolour that Scully painted in Mexico in 1984, in which he transcribed the interplay of warm sunlight and shadow on the stacked stones of ancient Mayan ruins and architectural formations on the Yucatán Peninsula. The artist was fascinated by their surfaces and how the stones seemed to reflect the passage of time. Over the years, Scully moved beyond Mexico, responding to other lights and latitudes, and his paintings reflect the places and seasons in which ... More
TOKYO.- Pace will present Night Ruins, an exhibition of new paintings by Nigel Cooke, at its gallery in Tokyo from August 28 through October 10. Cooke’s first solo presentation in Tokyo, Night Ruins will feature a selection of small-scale, atmospheric paintings he created during his tenure at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia’s first-ever artist residency in Venice, Italy. Deeply engaged with the history of art, Cooke holds a significant place in the development of contemporary British painting. With his residency at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in spring of 2026, he joined a lineage of artists who have found creative inspiration in Venice. Conceived as a period of immersion in the floating city and its storied lagoon, canals, and singular conditions of light, the residency afforded Cooke the opportunity to create a series of nuanced, richly hued paintings that draw from the palazzo’s historic and cultural heritage, as well as the living fabric of the city.

José León Cerrillo, Demonstration Rug 3, 2025. Glazed high temperature ceramic on metal stretcher, 236 x 164 x 10 cm (92 7/8 x 64 5/8 x 4 in.).
STOCKHOLM.- Andréhn-Schiptjenko will be presenting vanitas, José León Cerrillo's fourth solo exhibition in Stockholm. The second iteration of the exhibition, first presented at Andréhn-Schiptjenko Paris, opens in the presence of the artist on Thursday the 20th of August, between 17:00 - 20:00. Cerrillo's artistic practice interrogates the potential of pure abstraction across a diverse range of media, including printed posters, drawings, diagrams, sculptures, installations, and performance. His work conceptualises abstraction as a process of materialisation that inevitably encounters failure – manifesting as voids, absences, or paradoxes that challenge conventional perceptions of abstract form. vanitas, featuring sculptures, prints, and large-scale ceramic works, extends Cerrillo's ongoing exploration of the void as a generative space for abstraction. It presents one instance in a sequence of variations – one ceramic piece, a torso, and ... More

THE HAGUE.- Photogenic craftwork, global influence, iconically (un-)Dutch Thousand objects in major Delftware exhibition at Kunstmuseum Den Haag. Janny van der Heijden is co-curating a new long-term exhibition marking four centuries of craftsmanship. From household goods to haute couture: Delft Blue has never gone out of style. “We admire Chinese porcelain for its perfection, while there’s something human about Delftware precisely because of its imperfections. The firing errors, cracks and chips in the glaze show that it was made by hand. And perhaps that is why it suits the present era so well. You can still sense the maker in the material, even hundreds of years later.” Suzanne Lambooy, curator of decorative arts, Kunstmuseum Den Haag Kunstmuseum Den Haag has one of the world’s largest collections of Delftware, which will be displayed in a new exhibit for the next few years.

ESCHBORN.- Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation presents the exhibitions “Jamel Shabazz. New York Vibes” and “Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2026”. Since the early 1980s, American photographer Jamel Shabazz (b. 1960) has been using his camera to document scenes of everyday life in the predominantly African-American neighbourhood in his hometown New York. On his walks through Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn he has taken countless portraits that are now icons of their era. Shabazz made the streets his studio, capturing the exuberant creativity of the young generation in vibrant images. The fact that he was perceived not as a distant observer but as someone from the same social reality as his subjects is apparent in the intimate atmosphere of his individual and group portraits: Full of self-confidence, Black women, men, and children gaze into the camera and boldly present their stylish outfits and cool moves. As a child, Shabazz ... More
Chen Fei, Homesickness, 2024. Acrylic on linen, 120 x 100 cm | 47 1/4 x 39 3/8 inches. Unique.
TOKYO.- Since the cycle of paintings centered on intimate relationships with his daughter and those around him, presented in the 2025 solo exhibition Father and Child at The Watari Museum of Contemporary Art, Chen Fei has continued to revisit themes that have long animated his practice: family, intimacy, identity, social roles, taste, and the unstable boundary between private experience and public image. The works brought together in Sometimes, however, move beyond a simple extension of autobiographical narrative. They mark a transitional moment in which Chen renews his painterly vocabulary, testing genre, surface, composition, and narrative structure through a more fluid and materially charged approach. Working in figuration for more than two decades, Chen has often used acrylic paint for its speed, clarity, and capacity to generate an almost frictionless image. In his recent works, he pushes the medium beyond its familiar flatness, introducing tactile effects that complicate the smooth surfa ... More

Gladstone presents Ed Atkins exhibition 1 day in space at new Seoul gallery SEOUL.- Gladstone will present 1 day in space, an exhibition by acclaimed British artist Ed Atkins in the gallery’s new Seoul location. Known for a multi-disciplinary practice in which the technological surrogate is posited as a mitigating tool with which we might address issues of time, loss, and the tension between the permanent and the ephemeral, Atkins here pivots to analog strategies that both reiterate and reframe the questions that have long circulated throughout his oeuvre. Presenting a major new moving image piece alongside a series of expanded photographic works, sculptures, and frottages, 1 day in space offers not only a visual allegory of the family, but a series of questions that ponder what it means to excavate and reconstitute the real. Examining how images of domestic life tacitly endeavor to capture the melancholic banality stirred by the passage ... More

On a day like today, Italian painter Lavinia Fontana died
August 11, 1614. Lavinia Fontana (24 August 1552 - 11 August 1614) was an Italian Mannerist painter active in Bologna and Rome. She is best known for her successful portraiture, but also worked in the genres of mythology and religious painting. She was trained by her father, Prospero Fontana. She is regarded as the first female career artist in Western Europe, as she relied on commissions for her income. Her family relied on her career as a painter, and her husband served as her agent and raised their 11 children. She was perhaps the first female artist to paint female nudes, but this is a topic of controversy among art historians. In this image: Portrait of Antonietta Gonsalvus, daughter of Petrus Gonsalvus, 1595, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Blois.
