MADRID.- The exhibition Juan Muñoz. Stories of Art presents a journey through the work of one of the most unique sculptors in contemporary art; an artist whose practice was marked by illusionism, theatricality and architecture as a space of fiction. Influenced by Borromini, Bernini, Velázquez and Goya, Muñoz created settings in which the viewer becomes an actor, witness and protagonist of scenes charged with psychological tension and mystery. Born in Madrid in 1953, where he always had his studio, Juan Muñoz is inseparable from his native city and within it from the Museo del Prado, which he visited throughout his life and which was a constant source of inspiration. This exhibition reveals the connection between a contemporary artist and the history of art, which Muñoz studied with passionate interest and in a transversal manner from a young age. His visits to the Prado made him a fervent admirer of the great masters, whose lessons he irreverently combined, statin ... More

ZURICH.- From 14 November 2025 to 8 March 2026, the Kunsthaus Zürich is staging a major retrospective devoted to the Brazilian artist Lygia Clark, one of the most important voices of the Latin American avant-garde. The show is a cooperation with the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin and the first large-scale exhibition of the artist in a German-speaking country – as well as the most exhaustive worldwide since the presentation at MoMA New York in 2014. *‘If you hold a stone (Marinheiro só) / Hold it in your hand / If you feel the weight / You’ll never be late / To understand’. * These lines from a song by Caetano Veloso, which became world-famous in 1971, invoke a unique dialogue between music, life and art. Veloso, the leading representative of “Tropicalismo”, dedicated it to the Brazilian artist Lygia Clark – a pioneer who radically revisited the notion of art. Lygia Clark (1920 Belo Horizonte – 1988 Rio de Janeiro) is one of the most influential artists to co ... More

DUBLIN.- Whyte’s auction of Important Irish Art promises to deliver another exciting opportunity for collectors to acquire rare artworks of outstanding quality and enduring value. On Monday 1 December 2025 the auction has 143 lots of Important Irish art valued at €1.2 million. John Luke was a north Belfast native and spent his early years in a small, relatively confined area between York Street and the Antrim Road. Leaving school after he turned twelve, he worked in the nearby shipyard and later in a textile mill before attending Belfast School of Art. The Dead Tree, 1934, (lot 34, estimate €100,000-€150,000) was his first submission to the Ulster Academy of Arts in October 1934 and one reviewer drew attention to Luke's 'modern technique' and further added, 'it is a painting that cannot be neglected with its brilliant colour contrasts, its angularised figures, and houses of architectural solidity, and its rhythmically humped background.’ ...

PARIS.- Five thousand years of stories and legends surrounding the dragons of East Asia are revealed through this exhibition designed in partnership with the National Palace Museum in Taipei, in Taiwan. The Chinese dragon is nothing like the evil, fire-breathing creature that is conveyed by the western narrative. On the contrary, it embodies universal vital energy including its link to water. Fickle and uncontrollable, it ensures the harmony of the world: the earth depends on its omnipotence to benefit from the blessings of heaven. The exhibition Dragons presents an exceptional collection of items and works of art, from the first dragons to appear on jade and antique bronzes to its popular modern forms, including the imperial arts. The dragon, the heavenly lord, continues its journey today. After symbolising the emperors' authority, it remains a reference to the connection between heaven and earth, bringing strength and prosperity ... More

ZURICH.- In Sensible Shoes, American artist Roe Ethridge (b. 1969, Miami, FL) turns his lens toward the slippery overlap between the ordinary and the staged, the intimate and the commercial. Known for dissolving the boundaries between fine art and editorial photography, Ethridge presents his forth solo exhibition at Mai 36 Galerie, a new body of work that unfolds as a quietly humorous yet incisive reflection on contemporary image culture. Born in Miami, Ethridge received a BFA from the Atlanta College of Art in 1995 and moved to New York City two years later where he began working as a commercial photographer. Over the past two decades, Ethridge has developed a practice that operates simultaneously inside and outside the worlds of advertising, fashion, and art. His images, ranging from still lifes and portraits to casual snapshots and polished magazine commissions, are continually recycled and re-contextualized, blurring ... More

Photographer once known, Minnie Evans drawing near the Airlie gatehouse, ca.
1950, collection of Christian Daniel.
ATLANTA, GA.- Acclaimed American artist Minnie Evans (1892-1987) once described her drawings, filled with human, botanical and animal forms, as coming from “the lost world,” referring to “the nations destroyed before the Flood.” After her grandmother died in 1934 and the visions she had been experiencing since childhood became stronger, Evans went on to produce a large and celebrated body of work and in 1975 became one of the first Black artists to have a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Though she was lauded in her lifetime, she has not been the subject of a major exhibition since the 1990s. Inspired by its growing collection of her work, the High Museum of Art is organizing “The Lost World: The Art of Minnie Evans,” a nationally touring retrospective that brings together more than 100 of her fantastical drawings and puts them in the larger context of her extraordinary life. After premiering in Atlanta from Nov. 14, 2025 to April 19, 2026, the exh ... More
CHICAGO, IL.- The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago announced the Chicago presentation of Firelei Báez, the first North American survey of the artist (b. 1980, Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic; lives in New York). Spanning two decades of Báez’s spirited practice, this landmark exhibition showcases her vibrant and captivating paintings and installations. Through a bold visual language that blends folklore, fantasy, mythology, and science fiction, Báez constructs layered worlds that challenge dominant historical narratives and unsettle the often-fixed categories of race, gender, and nationality. In this exhibition, Báez also emphasizes resilience and creative agency, especially among marginalized communities who have always found ways to create refuge and power in defiance of systems ...

Chromatic dialogues: Xylor Jane meets Alfred Jensen at parrasch heijnen LOS ANGELES, CA.- parrasch heijnen is presenting Xylor Jane / Alfred Jensen, an exhibition of new works by artist Xylor Jane (b.1963, Long Beach, CA) in conversation with select historic paintings by Alfred Jensen (b. Guatemala City, GT, 1903; d. Livingston, NJ, 1981). Xylor Jane’s work encompasses both the optical and physical realms of experience, revealing systems of energy through expansive chromatic relationships. Evolving from the micro-intricacies that have become such a well-known vocabulary of Jane's work, the newest compositions provide room for the viewer to question and rationalize but also to absorb and be absorbed by the morphing networks of line, color, and shape. For Jane, color holds space and time, at once solid and translucent. While specific colors are sometimes determined circumstantially, influenced by her surroundings or historical iconography, ...

BEERS London presents Lucy Mahon's tender, storybook visions in first solo exhibition LONDON.- There's a quiet nostalgia in the work of Lucy Mahon; a reverberance and reverie that seems to buzz and hum and thrum to life within and between paintings. This is Mahon's first solo show with BEERS London. I had been familiar with Mahon's work for some time before I saw a recent exhibition of her work at a small gallery and began feverishly texting the team at BEERS screenshots of her work, enthralled by her tender, story-book imagery and practically pointillist approach. Nostalgia gets a bad rap, but ever since Homer (or the series of poets we have come to know as the singular author) began the rhapsodic telling of the Odyssey, this nostos ("return home") + algia ("lamentation") is a sentiment that - I think, particularly as we age - courses through our being. In many respects, artists fling themselves to faraway lands - literally, figuratively - to see how and ... More
The Third Line marks 20 years with a landmark exhibition tracing two decades of regional art and global upheaval DUBAI.- The Third Line is presenting The Only Way Out Is Through: The Twentieth Line, a project curated by Shumon Basar, marking the gallery’s 20th anniversary. Taking inspiration from the phrase often invoked in times of hardship—both as a mantra of endurance and a fatalistic admission of reality—The Only Way Out Is Through looks back on two decades of The Third Line’s story in relation to global cultural, political, and economic shifts through a retrospective exhibition, program of conversations, and “Flash Sales Specials”—a series of 48-hour pop-up sales of thematically grouped, long-unseen works from the gallery’s archive. The exhibition component features every artist currently represented by The Third Line, with early and recent ... More

Charles Addams original artwork of Boy Scouts published in "The New Yorker" to be auctioned LOS ANGELES, CA.- A rare Charles Addams original artwork depicting Boy Scouts, published in The New Yorker, will be auctioned by Nate D. Sanders Auctions on November 20, 2025. The illustration humorously depicts a wayward Boy Scout tying a hangman's noose to the alarm of the Scout Master, exemplifying Addams' signature technique of finding dark comedy in America's most wholesome institutions. This artwork represents one of only three documented Boy Scout-themed illustrations among Addams' more than 1,300 cartoons created during his extraordinary 56-year tenure at The New Yorker (1932-1988). Boy Scout illustrations are particularly coveted by collectors as they epitomize Addams' cultural commentary on postwar America's emphasis on conformity—making innocent scouts complicit in or disturbed by macabre situations to challenge assumptions ...
