BILOXI, MS.-Dusti Bongé Art Foundation (DBAF) announces its summer exhibition tracing the emergence of Mississippi’s native daughter as an artist in her own right following the death of her husband Archie Bongé in 1936. An academically trained artist, Archie died two years after the couple—who married in 1928—settled in Dusti’s hometown of Biloxi with their young son in 1934. Coming Home: Becoming an Artist comprises 34 works on paper and paintings of which 19 are by Dusti along with sketchbook drawings. From the early 1920s to the early 1930s, Dusti was pursuing a career in the theater in Chicago and Archie was building his reputation as a painter in New York City. Once married, they started making frequent trips to visit family and friends on the Gulf Coast and in New Orleans. On these trips, Archie would often sketch and paint local scenes and Dusti started occasionally joining ... More

Otto Piene. Kleiner Urknall, 2006. Platinum, glazed clay, 52 x 56 x 58 cm. 20 1/2 x 22 x 23 in.
PARIS.-Almine Rech Paris, Matignon opened a group show highlighting the three founding members of group ZERO: Otto Piene, Heinz Mack, and Günther Uecker. The exhibition ‘Piene, Mack, Uecker – Light, Space and Time’ is on view from May 30 to July 25, 2026. "My greatest dream is to project light into the vast nocturnal sky." When Otto Piene articulated this wish in 1961, he was giving full expression to his artistic ambition: the immaterial manifestation of the absolute; the irrepressible power of light and its triumph over darkness; the conquest of the infinite through art. It was a pursuit the German artist would carry across decades and mediums, notably alongside his fellow members of the ZERO group, Heinz Mack and Günther Uecker, which he co-founded in 1957. At Almine Rech Matignon, the group exhibition titled 'Light, Space and Time' — three fundamental coordinates structuring our relationship to the world, and ones ... More
NEW YORK, NY.-The first in-depth story of the indomitable collaborator, muse, and wife of Andrew Wyeth, and of her lasting creative impact on Maine and American art. This revelatory book explores the contributions of Betsy James Wyeth (1921–2020), a multitalented maker of designed environments and interior spaces, preservationist, and creative partner to the beloved American artist Andrew Wyeth.

Scholars discuss her process and significant role in projects like the Shore House at Broad Cove Farm, the site of the formation of Betsy’s refined ... More
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Hauser & Wirth West Hollywood is presenting Zhang Enli’s first West Coast solo exhibition, bringing together a new series of the artist’s abstract portraits. While anchored in figuration and paired with descriptive titles, the works on view convey their subjects’ essence via evocation rather than likeness, with Zhang Enli’s increasingly loose brushwork proving abstraction’s power to disclose information about the human condition. Zhang Enli has used painting to document the more prosaic aspects of contemporary life—everyday objects, interiors and individuals—since his arrival on the Shanghai art scene in the 1990s. Over the past decade, his focus has moved from such figurative elements toward the abstract portraits that define his work today. The works in the exhibition mark a return of motifs from Zhang Enli’s earlier still-life series—tubes, ropes and wires—now woven into enigmatic canvases that privilege neither ... More
A richly illustrated catalog accompanying the exhibition will be published in German and English by HIRMER Verlag, edited by Anette Hüsch, Jo-sephine Klinger, and Franziska Lietzmann.

CHICAGO, IL.-What if Emmett Till lived? What if he had returned home still a child, alive and free? Emmett Till could have turned 85 years old this year, had he survived beyond boyhood. In the major new exhibition If Emmett Till Lived, opening on September 10, 2026, at the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College Chicago, and in a freestanding book published by MoCP/DelMonico Books•D.A.P., curator, author, and scholar Dr. Sarah Elizabeth Lewis asks the public to envision the full life Till could have experienced, and what that life could have meant for our own, as evoked by the images of more than 70 photographers. Through pictures drawn from the Museum’s outstanding collection, viewers will be able to imagine, and meditate on, the roughly 70 years that Till missed—a number matching the photographers represented, from Henri Cartier ...

Lucian Freud’s Sleeping by the Lion Carpet, 1995-96 (est. £25-35 million) with the painting’s sitter, ‘benefits supervisor’ Sue Tilley. Courtesy Sotheby's.
LONDON.- Sotheby’s unveiled one of the defining masterpieces of Lucian Freud’s career: Sleeping by the Lion Carpet — the final and most ambitious work in the artist’s celebrated quartet of monumental portraits of “benefits supervisor” Sue Tilley. Vast in scale, virtuoso in their technique and radical in their approach, the four monumental canvases Freud painted of Sue Tilley are widely regarded not only as the artist’s greatest body of work, but also among the most important, most radical and most powerful paintings of the human figure in the entire history of art. Of those four works, executed between 1993 and 1996, this painting in particular stands out — described by leading art critic and historian Martin Gayford as “the most important [work] that Freud has ever painted.” Though widely celebrated and exhibited in every major museum survey of the artist’s work, this painting — bought as it was directly from Freud’s gallerist an ...

NEW YORK, NY.- The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) presents Jessica Lichtenstein: Rewilding, the New York– and Wyoming–based artist’s first solo museum exhibition, on view May 30, 2026, through April 18, 2027. In a sweeping, immersive installation, Lichtenstein transforms the third-floor gallery into a lush, overgrown terrain where thousands of digitally rendered female nudes coalesce into forests, ruins, and flowering canopies. Merging opulent materials with technological precision, Rewilding reclaims the female body from art history’s erotic conventions and situates it within a speculative landscape shaped by autonomy, collectivity, and release. Rewilding borrows its title from a concept in conservation ecology: the practice of restoring natural processes and wilderness areas by withdrawing human intervention and trusting ecosystems to regenerate on their own terms. For Lichtenstein, rewilding serves as a governing metaphor for liberty and release. Her densely ... More
LONDON.- Flowers Gallery is presenting Soft Interruptions, the second solo exhibition by the British multidisciplinary artist Lisa Jahovic. Soft Interruptions captures subtle, absurd disruptions — small fractures in the ordinary that reveal tension, humour, and the poetic instability of everyday life. Rooted in conceptual photography, the works lean toward a more painterly language. Shot on film and hand-printed, the process slows the image down, allowing attention to settle on texture, light, and form. The project sits in a space that’s close to reality, but slightly misaligned. Absurd, not as exaggeration, but as a quiet disruption of function. Small shifts destabilising something familiar. The surreal isn’t constructed as a separate world; it’s already embedded in the everyday — it just needs to be revealed. “I’m interested in that space where things al ... More
BERLIN.- The Museum für Fotografie in Berlin is presenting Inside Archives: Interventions on Leni Riefenstahl’s Nuba Work, a special exhibition that brings new critical perspectives to one of the most complex and contested bodies of work in 20th-century photography. The exhibition runs from May 22 to June 6, 2026. Organized by the Berlin University of the Arts in cooperation with the Kunstbibliothek of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, the exhibition takes as its starting point Riefenstahl’s photographs and films of the Nuba people, made during her travels to Sudan in the 1960s and 1970s. Rather than presenting these images as fixed historical documents, Inside Archives invites viewers to look at them again through the lens of art, research, memory and lived experience. The project was ... More

BERLIN.- The Gemäldegalerie of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin has completed the digitization of historic photographs documenting works of art that were lost during the Second World War, when fires destroyed hundreds of paintings stored in the Friedrichshain flak bunker in May 1945. The newly digitized images are now publicly accessible online in high resolution, offering scholars and the public a rare visual record of masterpieces once thought to have disappeared from view forever. The project focuses on around 430 large-format glass negatives preserved in the Gemäldegalerie’s photo archive. These negatives show paintings that formed part of the Berlin collection before wartime destruction. In total, the Gemäldegalerie lost ... More

Mexican artist duo bring nocturnal architectural series to Zander Galerie COLOGNE.- Zander Galerie is presenting Full Moon Party, the first exhibition of work by the Mexican artist duo Lake Verea at the gallery. The presentation gathers key bodies of work from their ongoing series DarkRooms (initiated in 2011), inviting viewers into the exhibition space as guests to a nocturnal party. Working with different cameras and formats, both analogue and digital, Lake Verea explore iconic works of modern architecture under conditions of darkness and reflected full moon light. Through long exposures and a practice of “slow photography,” the duo indulges in experimenting with “Deep Time” in search of “intimacy and sexiness”. Their images reveal atmospheres and spatial experiences that remain invisible during daylight. The works shift attention from architectural shapes to the subtle interplay of light, shadow, and time. The exhibition includes ... More
Pace presents New York solo debut of celebrated Aboriginal artist Emily Kam Kngwarray NEW YORK, NY.- Pace presents The Turning Season, its first exhibition of work by Emily Kam Kngwarray in New York, from May 15 to August 14. On view at the gallery’s 508 and 510 West 25th Street spaces, this survey of the artist’s career features her most renowned series of paintings and textiles. Pace’s presentation, organized in collaboration with D Lan Galleries, follows a landmark retrospective of Kngwarray’s work at London’s Tate Modern in 2025. Kngwarray (ca. 1914–1996) was born in Alhalker, located in the Sandover region of the Northern Territory, Australia. An Elder of the Anmatyerr people and custodian of Alhalker, she produced vivid, deeply personal works that express the ancestral and ecological relationships that shape her land. Kngwarray’s practice was rooted in the Dreaming: a dynamic, lived worldview in which ancestral creation stories and laws animate ... More
The Ringling opens first museum survey of Ojibwe artist Andrea Carlson SARASOTA, FLA.- The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art is presenting mixed-media visual artist Andrea Carlson’s first museum survey, Andrea Carlson: A Constant Sky, organized by the Denver Art Museum (DAM). The exhibition features 16 works which are on view from May 30 through November 15, 2026, in the Keith D. Monda Gallery for Contemporary Art. Carlson (descended from the Grand Portage band of Ojibwe and European settlers, born 1979) creates works that challenge the colonial narratives presented by modern artists, museum collections, and cannibal genre horror films. Utilizing a combination of text and complex visual references to animals, art objects, and cultural belongings, Carlson creates prismatic landscapes that foil American landscape genre painting. “The DAM has collected Indigenous arts for 100 years, emphasizing ...

Masako Miki's first solo show in Texas brings folklore into a present-day focus HOUSTON, TX.- The Moody Center for the Arts at Rice University announces that its summer 2026 exhibition features the work of Masako Miki (b. 1973, Osaka, Japan). The artist’s first solo show in Texas, this site-specific, sculptural installation is populated with spirits, shapeshifters, and other changelings animated by a longing for recognition and connection amid a rapidly changing world. Rendered through Miki’s vibrant visual language in a style informed by twentieth-century art historical movements, including European Surrealism and Japanese manga, this exhibition interprets themes from Japanese folklore and brings them into relation with the present, reflecting the artist’s interest in storytelling and myth as forces that shape how the world is understood. “The empathetic throughline of Miki’s work draws visitors together into a space that is both entirely original ...

Cecilia Vicuña opens her first major Nordic exhibition at Kunstnernes Hus OSLO.- Minga for the Sea is a major new commission by the internationally acclaimed Chilean artist, poet, and activist Cecilia Vicuña, developed specifically for Kunstnernes Hus. It is the artist’s first major presentation in Scandinavia and the Nordic region. The exhibition brings together voices from Indigenous territories from the Global South and North, where communities stand at the forefront of the defense of marine and coastal environments against destructive resource extraction and pollution. Through these situated perspectives, the project foregrounds not only local struggles but also the deep—often obscured—relations between distant geographies shaped by similar landscapes, as well as intertwined histories of colonization and extractive economies. At the core of the exhibition are two large horizontal quipus, one in each skylit hall at Kunstnernes Hus, constructed ... More

This reclining nude exemplifies the artist’s distinctive engagement with portraiture and the historical nude, reflecting her sustained interest in revisiting and reconfiguring canonical traditions. Malarkey’s exhibition is unique in its inclusion of many works from Sleigh’s ... More

Lenape artist Holly Wilson commissioned for a site-specific installation exploring Native Futurism PHILADELPHIA PA.- As the United States marks its semiquincentennial, multidisciplinary artist Holly Wilson, Delaware Nation Lenape and Descendent of the Delaware Tribe of Indians, has been commissioned by the Penn Museum to transform its East Entrance with a large-scale mixed-media installation dedicated to Native Futurism. It will be unveiled at a public dedication and artist-led talk on Saturday, July 11, 2026 from 2:30 to 3:30 pm.

Lily van der Stokker opens satirical 'male art' exhibition at kaufmann repetto NEW YORK, NY.- kaufmann repetto is presenting Male Art Exhibition, Great Show!, Lily van der Stokker’s sixth solo exhibition with the gallery, on view in New York. In her new wall paintings, paintings on canvas, and drawings, the artist tackles the issue of ‘male art’, subverting this slippery trope into a profound and combative reflection about genders and their hierarchy, in the art world and beyond. Unveiling her own personal pantheon of male artists, commemorating notably ‘masculine’ art works proposed by them over the past decades, van der Stokker addresses men as a (supposedly) marginalized group, neglected and overlooked in the current climate of inclusivity. Against the backdrop of the identity-political discourse of the past years on the one hand, and the pressing debate about male dominance, the rise of the ‘manosphere’ and its misogynist and anti-feminist ...

Harry Ransom Center explores daily life in ancient Egypt through rare papyrus exhibition AUSTIN, TX.- The Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin announces its exhibition, Lives and Literacy in Ancient Egypt, on view through August 3, 2026. Developed in collaboration with The John Rylands Library, this immersive exhibition brings to life the voices of a multilingual, multicultural society from Greco-Roman Egypt through rare papyrus manuscripts—fragile, handwritten documents rarely seen by the public. These humble sheets of papyrus revolutionized communication in the ancient world, preserving personal letters, legal petitions, magical amulets, medical prescriptions, and early religious texts. Visitors will encounter extraordinary glimpses of daily life. The exhibition also features painted mummy masks, offering a vivid look at the faces of antiquity. A highlight of the exhibition is one of the world's earliest New Testament ... More
