PARIS.- The Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II (1552–1612), a great patron of the arts and sciences, was also one of the European rulers most keenly interested in the study of nature. He invited scholars and artists from throughout Europe to his court, where they worked in close proximity to each other within the castle walls in a propitious climate of intellectual and religious tolerance, turning Prague into a veritable laboratory: a place of experimentation. As a new approach to understanding nature through observation was developed, the sciences and the arts exerted a mutual influence on one another. This innovative aspect of the artistic practices in Prague, in conjunction with early developments in experimental science, invites us to reconsider the melting pot which was Prague under Rudolf II, and to view this period less as the dying embers of the Renaissance ...

Éditions brings together a delicate selection of bidimensional works by Carlos Cruz- Diez.
BRUSSELS.- La Patinoire Royale Bach’s Project Room presents Carlos Cruz-Diez Éditions, a delicate selection of bidimensional works by this renowned innovator of Op Art and Kinetic Art who revolutionized the experience and perception of color. Cruz-Diez is concurrently exhibiting in Electric Dreams at Tate Modern. Éditions brings together a delicate selection of bidimensional works by Carlos Cruz- Diez. Cruz-Diez is renowned as an innovator of Op Art and Kinetic Art who revolutionized the experience and perception of color. With the obsessive questioning of a technician and employing a rationalist, nearly scientific approach, he experimented with color combinations to see what the various permutations and harmonies could evoke. While he is well known for his participatory environments and three dimensional works, he also produced works that lay flat on the page. In a 2012 interview, Carlos Cruz-Diez expressed that while in art history “painting on a flat surface became synonymous with pe ... More
Lou Zhenggang, Untitled, 2022. Acrylic on canvas, 116.7 x 91 cm. 46 x 36 in.
LONDON.- Almine Rech is presenting Shizen, the first commercial exhibition of paintings by the highly acclaimed Asian artist Lou Zhenggang in Europe. A celebrated figure in China, her country of birth, as well as in Japan, where she has lived and worked for over three decades, Lou Zhenggang’s art has been avidly collected by devoted Asian collectors. Her works have commanded strong demand in both the primary market and at auctions held by China Guardian and Poly, China’s two largest auction houses. Until now, however, her work has remained largely unseen outside of Asia. Born in 1966 in Heilongjiang Province, China, Lou was a child prodigy who quickly mastered the art of Chinese calligraphy under her father’s guidance. Her extraordinary talent allowed her to surpass her masters at a remarkably young age. In 1986, Lou moved to Japan, where she held numerous successful exhibitions. During the early 1990s, she spent time in New York, immersing herself in contemporary Western art bef ... More
The auction catalog’s cover piece is a magnificent circa-1904 Marklin Ferris Wheel with six gondolas, stained glass, and original figures. Estimate: $100,000-$200,000.
DENVER, PA.- On Thursday, May 29, Morphy’s will auction Part I of the lifetime personal collection of European and American antique toys amassed by the late Tom Sage Sr (1939-2024) of Allentown, Pennsylvania. Widely acknowledged as a pioneer of antique toy dealing and collecting, Sage was known for his encyclopedia knowledge of toys and a well-cultivated international network of industry contacts with whom he conducted business for more than 50 years. While buying and selling rare toys was his full-time occupation, Sage also had a mental wish list of toys and trains he personally wanted to own. Over several decades, he astutely filled the slots on that list, and it is those very special pieces that will be offered in the May 29 sale. While literally every toy in the collection is a showstopper, the auction catalog’s cover photo suggests the top seller may very well end up being Sage’s magnificent 1904 Ferris Wheel ... More
Carlotta Amanzi, Lysis, 2025. Oil and metal-ceramic on canvas, 30 x 24 cm / 11 3/4 x 9 1/2 in.
PARIS.- Hauser & Wirth opened the second edition of Invite(s) in Paris, organized with Olivier Renaud-Clément. This new invitation spotlights Carlotta Amanzi in an exhibition produced in collaboration with Lo Brutto Stahl and featuring a text by Paul Olivennes. Bringing together works by the artist that question both the materiality of painting and the viewer’s perception, the exhibition is an exploration of painting and its possibilities—where balance is achieved in instability, forms appear but remain elusive, and the surface becomes the site of discord, a space where color, light, and matter harmonize without ever resolving. ‘In the act of painting, there is the moment of chaos, then the moment of catastrophe, and something emerges from this, which is color.’—Gilles Deleuze, On painting, 1981 When thinking about art, we must remain attentive to places—to the silent influence they exert on our gaze. Carlotta Amanzi was born in ... More
Medardo Rosso, Bambino malato, 1895. 17.5 x 20 x 19.3 cm. Museo Medardo Rosso, Barzio. Photo: mumok / Markus Wörgötter.
BASEL.- Sculptor, photographer, and master of artistic staging, rival to Auguste Rodin and a role model for numerous artists: around 1900, Medardo Rosso (1858 in Turin, Italy 1928 in Milan, Italy) revolutionized sculpture. Although exceptionally influential, the Italian- French artist remains too little known today. Medardo Rosso: Inventing Modern Sculpture aims to change this. Featuring around fifty of his sculptures and two hundred and fifty photographs and drawings, the exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Basel offers a rare opportunity to discover Rosso’s oeuvre in a comprehensive retrospective. It invites the audience to learn more about his pioneering activities in turn-of-the-century Milan and Paris as well as the significance of his art in a contemporary perspective, while at the same time providing the basis for a new investigation of the history of modern sculpture. The exhibition, which was produced ... More
REGGIO EMILIA.- Over the course of his sixty-year career, Daido Moriyama (b. 1938, Osaka) decisively altered how we experience photography. He used his camera to investigate post-war Japanese society and document his surroundings, but he also questioned the nature of photography itself. His unmistakable visual language is as lauded as his countless publications, which are central to his work. This retrospective is the first to exhibit most of his famous series along with dozens of Moriyama’s photobooks and magazines, plus numerous works and large-scale installations. Taken together, is presents one of the most innovative and influential artists and street photographers of our day. Moriyama’s photographic subjects captivated viewers from the start, whether he was working with mass media and advertisements, societal taboos, or the theatricality of everyday life. He captured the clash of Japanese tradition and ... More

PARIS.- Galerie Nathalie Obadia is presenting Infini croisement des détails avec sa mesure en lumière, its eighth solo exhibition dedicated to Sarkis in almost fifteen years of collaboration. Born in Istanbul in 1938, Sarkis is a prominent figure on the contemporary art scene, whose oeuvre, as sagacious as it is unclassifiable, has never ceased to confound its public since his arrival in Paris in 1964. “In my studio in Villejuif, I have hundreds if not thousands of objects dating from 150 million years ago to the present day, which are part of or will be part of my works, with an infinite interplay between them. It is these infinite interconnections that I’m putting on show, with around a hundred images printed on twelve fabric panels, each measuring 250 x 150 cm. A neon crystal mesure ... More
PARIS.- Since the Renaissance, the book in art has symbolized knowledge, with the codex—both as an object and a concept—becoming a metonym for scholarship and learning. In the digital age, where text is increasingly detached from its printed medium, Tornabuoni Art Paris presents The Book. Object Between Memory and Symbol, a project bringing together a selection of Italian and international artists who have explored the book not only for its literary content but also for its symbolic value. Aiming to offer a broad international panorama of the use of books in contemporary art, the exhibition features works by Vincenzo Agnetti, Alighiero Boetti, Jean Boghossian, Pascal Convert, Chiara Dynys, Emilio Isgrò, Anselm Kiefer, Giulio Paolini, Claudio Parmiggiani, ...

LONDON.- Pi Artworks is presenting Matt Golden /Golden Family’s third exhibition ‘Thirty-Three Revolutions’. Deftly extemporising on folkloric themes, emotional astronomies, and musical anthropology, the show is both a heartfelt response to a recent family bereavement, and an ode to their new rural life. Thirty-Three Revolutions brings together two distinct bodies of work. Constellations: a series of photographs capturing high-jumpers in mid-air, wherein each image is aesthetically and poetically coupled with a constellation. Thirty-Three Revolutions: a collection of vintage marching-drums and their mechanical appendages are poignantly assembled into a procession of anthropomorphised musicians. Both works are inspired by the family’s relocation from London to rural England where life’s contrasts can be more keenly felt. Within this new environment they often share ‘family night walks’ and now away from London’s soupy night skies, their new star-gazing rou ... More
ANTWERP.- While We Count Our Earthquakes is the first solo exhibition in Belgium by internationally renowned Palestinian-Danish artist Larissa Sansour. From the losses of the Palestinian people to the persistent threat of environmental catastrophe, the exhibition delves into studies of grief, memory and generational trauma. Sansour’s work uses speculative narratives and science-fiction methods to peer into the future. All throughout the former Dominican church, visitors encounter the haunting voice of Palestinian soprano Nour Darwish. She is heard performing a composition by Lebanese composer Anthony Sahyoun, based on Gustav Mahler’s Kindertotenlieder and the Palestinian traditional song ‘Al Ouf Mash’al’. The aria is featured in the centrally placed large-scale videowork As If No Misfortune Had Occurred in the Night, co-directed with Søren Lind. This work depicts an Arabic-language opera on loss, mourning and inherited trauma. While We Count Our Earthquakes ... More

MINNEAPOLIS, MN.- The Museum of Russian Art (TMORA) is presenting Geometric Abstraction: Selections from the Kolodzei Art Foundation Collection. This remarkable exhibition uniquely focuses on geometric abstraction as a stylistic approach practiced, and indeed, preferred, by many outstanding artists for its limitless possibilities of visualization and mathematical mysticism of form. Spanning several artistic generations, from Soviet-era underground artists to post Soviet and contemporary masters, the exhibition showcases works in a variety of media, including paintings, works on paper, photography, and sculpture. The unifying focus is the exploration of geometric abstraction, which served as a powerful means of artistic expression under the restrictions ... More

BRUSSELS.- Codependence navigates emotional entanglements, historical echoes, and the weight of context. From personal history to art history, from Magritte’s long shadow over Brussels to the gallery’s own architecture and name, every element will become a metaphor for enmeshment. The exhibition considers unseen forces that bind, revealing how images, spaces, and relationships mutually shape and reflect one another. With humor and tension, the works bring hidden dynamics to the surface, questioning where autonomy ends and influence begins. The name of the gallery, dépendance, emerged from the founders’ aversion to the old-fashioned tone of Callies-Jaax Gallery and a desire to reject the myth of artistic independence—especially within a commercial context. The term also hinted at a network of interconnected spaces around the world, challenging the notion of singularity or autonomy. Building on these ideas, ... More

Martins&Montero opens 'Unfolding, a choreography of time' BRUSSELS.- This exhibition begins as a fragment. A first presence, a gesture, a work. Then another. And another. Each new addition acts as a chapter, a layer, a subtle shift in the existing balance. Unfolding is conceived as a process of expansion. The project proposes a cumulative and ever-transforming format: with each phase, a new artist and a new work are added to the space, in dialogue with what has come before. Each intervention is a form of revisiting, a return to what has already been shown, one that destabilizes and reactivates the present. The exhibition becomes a choreography of successive presences that cohabit, challenge, and reshape one another. It is not merely about adding, but about insisting on the act of returning, of revealing new layers of meaning, of constructing a memory built in the present. This can be understood as a form of slow migration, where each incorporation ... More
Design Earth: Speculative Fiction for the Climate presented by NTU Centre for Contemporary Art and ADM Gallery SINGAPORE.- How might the architectural imagination make sense of the Earth at a moment in which the planet is presented in crisis? For Design Earth, imagination fuels the production of stories and images that come together as geographically situated speculations—neither documentary nor completely fictional. Today we live in an epoch shaped by extensive shifts in industrialization, with environmental risks and destruction felt at a planetary scale. Paradoxically, while the threats are serious, we remain little mobilized—in part because of the “abysmal distance between our little selfish human worries and the great questions of ecology.”[1] If we are worried once again that the sky may be falling on our heads, how is it that we have ...

Available May 6: "Fire Island Invasion: Day of Independence" by Anderson Zaca NEW YORK, NY.- The new photography book by Anderson Zaca, Fire Island Invasion: Day of Independence (Damiani Books, 2025), celebrates the legendary Fire Island Invasion of the Pines, an annual event that takes place on July 4 on Fire Island, New York. The inaugural Invasion took place in 1976, when a drag queen from Cherry Grove was denied entry into a restaurant in the Fire Island Pines and a group of her friends, also dressed in drag, stormed the island in protest. Since then, The Invasion has been repeated every year, with hundreds of drag queens descending on The Pines to commemorate and celebrate this original act of protest. This book marks the 50th anniversary of this historic cultural phenomenon. This project began with Anderson Zaca’s invitation to the annual Fire Island Invasion in 2007. Documenting the event with more than 3,000 images spanning ... More

Daniel Poller unveils "Frankfurter Kopien": A photographic critique of Frankfurt's reconstructed old town FRANKFURT.- The exhibition "Frankfurter Kopien" at Galerie—Peter—Sillem by the Berlin-based artist Daniel Poller takes a photographic and conceptual approach to the so-called New Old Town of Frankfurt. For this, Daniel Poller photographed the historical stone elements (spolia) embedded in the buildings of the area and combined them through manual overprinting with the colors from the "color guide plan" of the reconstruction. In this way, photographic objects were created that are aware of their own historicity and reveal the historicizing processes at work in the New Old Town as a palimpsest. "A coherent response to an urban planning approach that, in its method of reconstructing the New Old Town, ultimately fell victim to the deceptions of photography." — Maren Lübbke-Tidow Daniel Poller (1984) studied photography at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig and completed ...

Rorschach lakefront whispers lost histories in Donia Jornod's billboard art RORSCHACH.- The serene promenade along Lake Rorschach has once again become an open-air gallery, hosting the sixth iteration of its annual billboard art project. This season features the thought-provoking work of transmedia artist Donia Jornod, whose series "information was lost" now graces the prominent lakeside spaces. Jornod, a Geneva-born artist currently working from Zurich, unveiled her new pieces, inviting passersby to contemplate the complexities of historical narratives and the elusive nature of truth. The foundation of Jornod's compelling work lies in her extensive research into archival materials from the Algerian War (1954-1962), sourced from Parisian city archives. By meticulously comparing accounts of the same events from opposing sides of the conflict, Jornod exposes the profound impact of censorship and the subtle manipulation of fact and fiction ... More
