VENICE.- Roberto Matta 1911-2002 at Ca’ Pesaro - Galleria Internazionale d’Arte Moderna is the first institutional exhibition in Italy dedicated to the Chilean artist; it aims to portray his eclectic personality and the expression of a wide range of ideas and modes of knowledge: scientific, cultural and philosophical. A citizen of the world, visionary, multifaceted artist, painter and draughtsman, architect and sculptor, as well as a militant figure, Roberto Sebastián Antonio Matta Echaurren (Santiago de Chile, 1911 - Civitavecchia, 2002) is certainly one of the most important artists of the twentieth century and, at the same time, among the least celebrated and represented figures in Italian museum collections. The exhibition at Ca’ Pesaro is thus one of the projects of in-depth study, research and rediscovery of twentieth-century artists undertaken by the Galleria Internazionale d’Arte Moderna di Venezia, starting with the masterpieces held in its collection - in this case ...

HONOLULU.- In 2019, the Honolulu Museum of Art (HoMA) acquired the 1975 hand-drawn short story “Vagabond Plain” by acclaimed alternative manga artist Tadao Tsuge (b. 1941). Tsuge’s illustrations capture the social crisis of postwar Japan. Opening Dec. 19, “Drawn from the Street: The Politics of Poverty in Postwar Manga” features this milestone graphic narrative. Fourteen excerpts from Tsuge’s story highlight the problems of urbanization and socioeconomic disparity in Japan during the Allied Occupation (1945-1952), a story that was largely overshadowed in the media by what is known as the “economic miracle.” Included in the exhibition are “Vagabond Plain” precursors — Japanese woodblock prints and woodblock-printed books from HoMA’s collection that are honest depictions of poverty and houselessness from the 17th to early 20th centuries, such as the 1926 ...

GRANADA.- The exhibition Reflections. Picasso / Koons at the Alhambra will present five works - two by Pablo Picasso and three by Jeff Koons - which are skilfully integrated into the Palace of Charles V and the permanent collection of the Museo de Bellas Artes, establishing a dynamic conversation between past and present. Within the Alhambra the timeless beauty of Picasso and Koons’ works will reveal the continuity and transformation of artistic inspiration, offering visitors a unique perspective on the dialogue between tradition and modernity. The courtyard of the Palace of Charles V will house the sculpture "Three Graces" (2016-22) by Jeff Koons, a contemporary work made of polished stainless steel with a transparent coating, which offers a striking contrast and a modern reinterpretation of this classical theme. Next, two works by Picasso are displayed inside ... More
Composed of one bound paper book and a diverse array of unbound materials―including acrylic, vellum, acetate and accordion-folded paper, all contained in a slipcase.
AUSTIN, TX.- Torkwase Dyson: A Liquid Belonging is an extraordinary publication that not only showcases the formidable visual and conceptual work of a groundbreaking contemporary artist but also reimagines how art books themselves can be experienced, handled, and understood. From the moment one encounters its slipcase and begins to interact with its surprising mix of bound and unbound materials, it becomes evident that Dyson and her collaborators have crafted something altogether different, a book that challenges conventional assumptions about the presentation of art in print form. The result is a compelling, multi-layered volume that stands as an indispensable companion to Dyson’s recent exhibition at Pace Gallery in New York. Dyson’s artistic practice has long been concerned with exploring new frontiers of shape, space, and meaning. Guided by her philosophy of Black Compositional Thought—a framework through which she articulates geometries of liberation and resistance—Dyson ... More
HAMBURG.- Swiss artist Franz Gertsch (1930–2022) is regarded as a pioneer of photorealism and a master of modern woodcut. In the second half of the 20th century, he coined a new notion of realism in painting and achieved worldwide fame with his works. From 13 December 2024 through 4 May 2025, the retrospective exhibition at Deichtorhallen Hamburg provides a comprehensive overview of more than 60 years of his artistic work: On display are large-format paintings up to six meters width of the youth and music scenes of the 1970s, iconic portraits of women from the 1980s, epic landscapes and depictions of nature from the last two decades, as well as monumental woodcuts. Franz Gertsch's paintings and woodcuts appear with a spectacular size and photographic precision. In an unmistakable way and with perfect craftsmanship, his works tangle between close-up and distant effects, abstraction and representationalism offering a very special approach towards reality while at the same time always retainin ...

PARIS.- In the early years of the 20th century, Céline Laguarde established herself as an international figure in the history of photography’s first artistic movement: pictorialism. Her body of work has finally emerged from a century of oblivion. This exhibition is an invitation to rediscover Laguarde on two levels: as a female photographer who earned a level of recognition that no woman in France had achieved since the invention of the medium, but also - and most importantly - as an artist who in her lifetime was already considered to be one of the most important photographers of her era. The exhibition has been made possible by the gradual unveiling of the artist's personal collection, which was pieced back together in the Musée d’Orsay collections between 2017 and 2024. His main ambition is to spotlight a body of work of unsuspected quality, variety and longevity. The portraits, studies of figures, and landscapes give an insight into the photographer's reputation ... More
ZURICH.- On July 10, 2024, the world-renowned photographer Thomas Hoepker passed away peacefully surrounded by his family. Over the past 10 years, Bildhalle has been closely associated with Thomas Hoepker and has shown his iconic images in several solo exhibitions in Zurich and Amsterdam. This exhibition pays tribute to Hoepker’s œuvre, his life story and his warm-hearted personality with this retrospective. Born in Munich in 1936, Hoepker ranked among the foremost German photojournalists of the late 20th century. As such, he not only experienced but also played a defining role in the second golden age of photojournalism, after the 1920s and 1930s. He has made photographic history not only for his contributions to magazines such as Stern, Geo, Kristall and the Münchner Illustrierte, but also as art director, writer and filmmaker. Many of his black-and-white photo essays rank among the greatest of photo-journalism. ... More

Ellsworth Collection of US Large Cents 1796-1814 US Coins Signature® Auction as part of the FUN Convention in Orlando. “1796 was a transitional year in American numismatics,” says Greg Rohan, President of Heritage Auctions. “That was the year the Mint switched from the Liberty Capped Bust design to the Draped Bust design. This collection starts with the Draped Bust coins, and many of the coins are the finest known, or at least one of the finest known examples.” A collector since he was in middle school, Ellsworth is one of “the most celebrated collectors of these early large cent varieties,” a longtime numismatist who enjoys a broad reach within the collecting community. “Back when ...

AMSTERDAM.- The Stedelijk Museum announced a landmark retrospective of Yayoi Kusama, one of the most influential and pioneering artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Opening on September 11, 2026, this expansive exhibition will explore more than seven decades of Kusama’s groundbreaking work. The exhibition will delve into the wide range of artistic media Kusama has worked with over the years, including painting, sculpture, installations, drawing, fashion, collage, happenings, live performances, and more.

This exhibition features Keren Cytter’s 8 mm film trilogy “Meltdown” – Hot Lava Night, Queens in Queens, Meltdown – alongside a selection of her latest drawings.
BERLIN.- In Keren Cytter’s video works, characters frequently appear confined within their own mental or physical spaces. Her videos often illustrate the tension between desire for change and the constraints that prevent it, reflecting a powerful sense of being caught in a neverending loop. This exhibition features Keren Cytter’s 8 mm film trilogy “Meltdown” – Hot Lava Night, Queens in Queens, Meltdown – alongside a selection of her latest drawings. The “meltdown” serves as a manifestation of the internal states of Cytter’s characters as well as the fragmented, chaotic world they inhabit. While the world around them draws ever closer to destruction, the characters seek a way out in their relationships, making the “Meltdown” trilogy a kind of love story. In Hot Lava Night radio reports depict the extent ... More

Parrotta Contemporary presents Timm Rautert's new series "Dots always work" COLOGNE.- Timm Rautert is widely regarded as one of the most significant contemporary German photographers, a figure who has influenced the decisive trends in photography since the early 1960s. Whether working as a photojournalist in his early career, as a portraitist, as a chronicler of a rapidly changing working world, or later as a university educator, Rautert has continually reshaped our understanding of what photography can be. Driven by the question of the power of images and their impact on society, he is constantly probing new ways to assert and examine the medium’s meaning. This interrogative approach was already evident in his “Bildanalytische Photographie” (“Image-Analytical Photography”) series from 1968 to 1974. Here, Rautert began a lifelong project of encircling photography as a highly complex visual and communicative ... More
Hamburger Kunsthalle exhibits the monumental work Abbild (Likeness) 2002-2005 by the Austrian artist Hanns Kunitzberger HAMBURG.- The presentation of the monumental work Abbild (Likeness) 2002–2005 by the Austrian artist Hanns Kunitzberger (b. 1955, lives and works in Berlin) concludes the Hamburger Kunsthalle’s 2024 exhibition series devoted to contemporary art. The work, which comprises 16 large-format paintings, pays homage to grand historical-painting cycles. With this show, the Kunsthalle is revisiting a tradition practised until the end of the twentieth century of mounting outstanding presentations of contemporary art in the Kuppelsaal, the domed rotunda that served as an impressive exhibition space after the museum’s new wing was opened. In their serial monumentality, Kunitzberger’s four groups of four paintings each dominate ... More
Arijit Bhattacharyya wins Ruckhaberle Award 2024 BERLIN.- In an era marked by political polarization, decreasing tolerance, and societal shifts to the right, the Ruckhaberle Award highlights the importance of open spaces for artistic expression and critical discourse.

Alzueta Gallery opens its first photography group exhibition BARCELONA.- This is How We Look, Is This Who We Are? is the first photography group exhibition presented by Alzueta Gallery. The show takes place at the gallery’s location in Carrer Sèneca, 9-11, Barcelona. It wasn’t so long ago that photography became part of the gallery world, which sometimes makes it difficult to find a common thread among artists working in this medium. However, many contemporary approaches share a common interest: exploring the boundaries between reality and fiction, as well as the limits between the natural and the artificial. In the case of portraits —and, especially, in self-portraits—this interest translates into an investigation of identity, using appearance as a way to question the roles we play in society. This approach is precisely reflected in This Is How We Look, Is This Who We Are?. In the pieces that form the exhibition, ... More
The Museum of Contemporary Art of the Basque Country presents its 2024-2025 programme VITORIA-GASTEIZ.- In autumn 2024, the museum opened three new exhibitions: Chillida. Usos Aplicados, curated by Peio Aguirre which, on the occasion of Eduardo Chillida’s 100th birth anniversary (San Sebastian, 1924–2002), explores his incursion into graphic design and the application of his work in the decorative arts; refugios-diarios (lerro galduak), an exhibition by Joxerra Melguizo (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 1968), curated by Enrique Martínez Goikoetxea (Collection Curator, Artium Museoa), in which the artist emphasises the idea of process, manifesting as a trace of day-to-day work in the studio; and El caso de l(a casa) museo(a), an exhibition by Belgian artist Joëlle Tuerlinckx (Brussels, 1958) that challenges us on such seemingly abstract issues as space and time, although translating these concerns into the viewer’s experience within the exhibition space and the temporalities it contains. Tuerlinckx’s exhibition ... More
Muzeum Sztuki publishes 'The 1982 Cultural Exchange Between Lodz and Los Angeles' LODZ.- The 1982 Cultural Exchange… honors fifty artists who donated their artworks in a transatlantic museum exchange. What this book describes as a “Polish–American exchange” was in fact the initiative of a group of Warsaw-based artists who wanted to establish contact with their counterparts abroad. The art scene in Poland of the early 1980s, which was a Soviet satellite country, had its limitations, to say the least, but there were still exceptional places and people making their mark. The enterprise was based on the idea that Polish artists would offer their artworks to the newly established Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles (MOCA), whereas artists based in the United States would send their work, in turn, to be exhibited as part of Muzeum Sztuki’s collection. In 1982 the artworks were donated by: Stanisław Dróżdż, Zbigniew ... More
Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung exhibits 'Joan Fontcuberta: What Darwin Missed' BERLIN.- The exhibition Joan Fontcuberta: What Darwin Missed presents a new series of around forty works specially conceived for the Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung by internationally recognized Catalan photographer, curator, essayist, and lecturer Joan Fontcuberta (b. 1955). The artist is renowned for his playful way of engaging audiences but also addressing the boundaries between reality and fiction. His works reflect on the role of photography in representing reality and frequently deal critically—but always humorously and provocatively—with the image in scientific disciplines such as botany or zoology. For the current exhibition, Fontcuberta engaged intensively with the foundation’s archive and resumed a research project Alfred Ehrhardt had started in 1938 for the Natural History Museum in Hamburg but was unable to complete due to historical circumstances. ...
