LONDON.- Tate Britain presents the first major exhibition to explore the intertwined lives and legacies of Britain’s most revered landscape artists: JMW Turner (1775–1851) and John Constable (1776–1837). Radically different painters and personalities, each challenged artistic conventions of the time, developing ways of picturing the world which still resonate today. Marking the 250th anniversary years of their births, this exhibition traces the development of their careers in parallel, revealing the ways they were celebrated, criticised and pitted against each other, and how this pushed them to new and original artistic visions. It features over 190 paintings and works on paper, from Turner’s momentous 1835 The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons, lent by Cleveland Museum of Art and not seen in Britain for over 60 years, to The White Horse 1819, one of Constable’s greatest artistic achievements, last exhibited in London two decades ago. ...

BERLIN.- This winter, the Bode-Museum brings a remarkable piece of Berlin’s art history back into public view. Opening 27 November 2025, the cabinet exhibition Back in Berlin: A Bust of the Virgin Mary and the Benoit Oppenheim Collection shines a light on a rare 16th-century Maria lactans—a Nursing Madonna—newly reacquired after nearly a century of displacement, persecution, and restitution. The delicately carved bust, created in Upper Swabia during the early Renaissance, was once among the prized artworks owned by Benoit Oppenheim, a prominent Berlin banker who assembled one of the most refined private collections of medieval sculpture in the early 20th century. Installed in his grand villa in the Tiergarten district, the collection ... More

Louis-Michel van Loo, Queen Isabel de Farnesio, c. 1739. Oil on canvas, 150 × 110 cm. Floor 1, Room 17.
MADRID.- The Museo Nacional del Prado is shining a long-overdue spotlight on one of the most influential yet often overlooked women in European art history: Queen Isabel de Farnesio. With the third edition of its acclaimed initiative El Prado en femenino, the museum invites visitors to rediscover the 18th-century monarch whose passion for collecting helped shape what is now one of the world’s great art museums. Running until 26 May 2026, the new itinerary, created in collaboration with Spain’s Women’s Institute and supported by Iryo, moves the focus into the 18th century, following earlier editions devoted to Renaissance and Baroque royal women. This time, the star is a queen whose impact on the arts remains quietly yet unmistakably present throughout the Prado: Isabel de Farnesio (1692–1766), wife of King Philip V and one of the most active artistic patrons of her era. Few visitors realize that nearly 500 works in today’s Prado once belonged to her— ... More

Else Berg, 'Vrouw met gitaar', 1929. Collection Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
AMSTERDAM.- The exhibition Blue Dots opens at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam’s IMC Gallery on November 29. In a time of looming war and mounting tensions, the Stedelijk Museum looks back to an earlier period of geopolitical rivalry: the Cold War. In 1951, the Dutch government introduced a system that required museums to categorize their collections for evacuation in times of war. They used ‘evacuation dots’ to indicate which works should be saved first: red for ‘very important’, white for ‘important’, and blue for ‘less important’. Curator Nadia Abdelkaui, who joined the Stedelijk in 2024, stumbled upon this system while researching the collection. “This system was new to me, and we had forgotten that, at the time, this was standard practice. I immediately dived in, curious to see which choices had been made back then. I wanted to put the ‘blue dots’, the works that had once been deemed ‘less important’, ... More

Vincent van Gogh, Head of a woman, Antwerp, Dec. 1885. Oil on canvas, 35.2 × 24.4 cm. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation).
ARLES.- Inspired by Vincent’s correspondence, major modern and contemporary artists take up the themes he addressed and present their works to him as if they were letters. In doing so, they fulfill Van Gogh’s wish to be “a link in the chain of artists.”[1] Artists: Harold Ancart, Jacopo Benassi, Martin Boyce, James Castle, Louise Chennevière, Gérard Collin-Thiébaut, Rineke Dijkstra, Simone Fattal, Gustave Fayet, Dominique Ferrat, Joseph Grigely, Nathanaëlle Herbelin, Isidore Isou, Ann Veronica Janssens, Hans Josephsohn, Anselm Kiefer, Mark Manders, Sylvain Prudhomme, Louise Sartor, Wolfgang Tillmans, Rico Weber & Vincent van Gogh Van Gogh’s time in Provence, from his arrival in snow-covered Arles in February 1888 to his departure from Saint-Rémy-de-Provence twenty-seven months later, seems both novelistic and tragic. His dazzling ... More
Carin Ellberg, Strandsittare (Coastal settlers) 1, 2025. Round iron, glass. Height: ca 2 m. Diameter: ca 1.5 m.
PARIS.- Andréhn-Schiptjenko presents Coastal settlers and species from the sea, Carin Ellberg’s first solo-exhibition in Paris, opening on Saturday November 29 2025 from 6–8pm in presence of the artist and running through January 17 2026. Carin Ellberg has been represented by Andréhn-Schiptjenko since the start of the gallery in 1991 and is a major fixture on the Swedish art scene. Ellberg’s practice unfolds as an ongoing investigation into transformation and permeability — between painting and sculpture, between material and imagination, between the intimate and the cosmic. Her work persistently negotiates the boundaries that separate and connect wall and floor, the real and the represented, the self and its surroundings. Thoughts, memories and associations drift and reconfigure into new, evocative visual constellations, testifying to a process that is at once introspective and open-ended. Ellberg’s latest body ...

VIENNA.- What can we truly know about ourselves and our histories in an age of hypervisibility, when algorithms and social structures alike decide not only what is seen but what is pushed into invisibility or irrelevance? In Soft Zeros, Mimi Ọnụọha examines the unreliability of archives and the instability of knowledge, exploring how absence and silence – shaped by algorithmic bias, historical denial, and collective forgetting – become meaningful. She points to what has not been collected, asked, allowed, or represented. Some statisticians use the term 'soft zero' to describe values that appear as nothing – registered as absence or inactivity – without confirmation of true non-existence. A dataset showing no entries for a certain demographic group does not prove that the group is absent; it only reveals that it was not recorded. Ọnụọha uses this as a metaphor for power and invisibility within data systems, showing ... More

BERLIN.- The Clock by Christian Marclay is a 24-hour video work that takes viewers through a century of cinematic history. Since its debut in London in 2010 and its win of the Golden Lion at the 54th Venice Biennale in 2011, it has become a global sensation, exhibited in major museums such as MoMA in New York (2012/13 & 2024/25), the MCA in Sydney (2013), the Centre Pompidou in Paris (2014), and the Tate London (2018/19).

Captivating audiences across the world since its debut in 2010, The Clock is a thrilling and poignant montage of thousands of film and television clips that depict clocks or reference time. Following several years of rigorous and painstaking research and production, Marclay edited these excerpts to create an immersive visual and sonic experience. This landmark work operates as a gripping journey through cinematic history as well as a functioning timepiece. The installa ... More
Tomáš Rafa, Refugees Are Welcome Here (Video Still), 2020, colour and sound, revised 2023, 96 minutes.
BERLIN.- The multimedia three-person exhibition Challenge (2025) marks a decade since the 2015 refugee crisis in the EU. On display are three arresting works in different genres: documentary videography, a satirical short film, and contemporary figurative oil painting. The artists were all born around 1980 but come from diverse backgrounds. What brings them together here are their works addressing the subject of migration and confronting the spectre of European racism and xenophobia. Slovakian artist and filmmaker Tomáš Rafa (born 1979, Žilina) is known for his high-octane videos. And Refugees Are Welcome Here (2020, revised 2023, 96 minutes, colour and sound) is no exception. An audiovisual onslaught, it documents ‘the dramatic journey of refugees caught in the tension between empathetic volunteers and hostile state and societal forces’, offering ‘a visceral experience of the refugees’ struggle for freedom amidst precarious ...

Heemin Chung reimagines the digital landscape in "Garden of Turmoil" at Thaddaeus Ropac Seoul SEOUL.- Thaddaeus Ropac Seoul presents Heemin Chung’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, following UMBRA at Thaddaeus Ropac London in 2024. Bringing together a new body of paintings and bronze sculptures, the exhibition explores the sensory experience of a world that is increasingly mediated by technology. In her artworks, Chung examines the material potential of digital imagery to reimagine the virtual landscape in painterly and sculptural terms. Images of the natural world, including seashells, stones, waves, flowers and tree bark, form the basis of Chung’s compositions. Retrieved from online databases and manipulated using 3D digital modelling software, these motifs are transferred directly onto canvas or transparent sheets of gel medium. Since 2017, she has worked with gel medium – a clear, viscous substance used to bind pigments in acrylic ... More
Majd Abdel Hamid unveils meditative textile worlds in his first German institutional solo exhibition BREMEN.- when was the last time you daydreamed is Majd Abdel Hamid’s first institutional solo exhibition in Germany. Hamid presents embroidery and fabric works that condense—or dissolve—thought and memory processes. In the back-and-forth of the thread, he recalls and forms relationships with the world, even potential worlds. This is also the second exhibition in our series for fear of continuity problems, which explores the notion of memory in parts of GAK’s indoor space and in the poster frames outside. For many years, embroidery has been central to Majd Abdel Hamid’s practice that he pursues as a continuous, diary-like process. He draws on Tatreetz, the traditional form of Palestinian embroidery, without focusing on the symbolism and perfection. While initially Hamid’s work involved transferring and repeating media images, pixels of which he incorporated into ... More
Olga Balema reconfigures sculptural form in "The bizarre space of complex numbers" at Kunsthalle Friart FRIBOURG.- Olga Balema’s work considers sculptural form as open, changeable, and processual. It emphasizes sculpture’s relatedness with external, uncontrollable factors, as well as with itself, its inner logic and temporality. Recently, Balema has sought ways for work to be created out of its own functioning, and for the possibility of something new to arise from reiteration and repetition. It is in this same spirit that The bizarre space of complex numbers, Balema’s solo exhibition at the Kunsthalle Friart Fribourg, presents itself as a sort of return of the artist to existing works, which are being reconfigured and modified on site. Occupying horizontal or slanting planes, the works seem to counteract the idea of sculptural monumentality, acting from below or from a slightly crooked position instead. Balema’s ongoing work with elastic bands exhibits a spare ... More
Tornabuoni Arte unveils its 2025 collection of ancient paintings and furnishings in Florence FLORENCE.- Tornabuoni Arte – Arte Antica is preparing to open the doors to its newest annual presentation of historical masterpieces. On Saturday, 29 November 2025, at 5:30 pm, the gallery’s Florence space on Via Maggio will debut the catalogue Ancient Paintings and Furnishings 2025, accompanied by an exhibition that charts a thoughtful journey through several centuries of European art.

Among the earliest highlights is a serene Nativity with the Infant Saint John by the enigmatic Pseudo Pier Francesco ... More
Juan Manuel Rodríguez explores the poetry of water in "Endless Dawn" at Xippas Punta del Este PUNTA DEL ESTE.- Xippas gallery in Punta del Este is presenting Endless Dawn, an exhibition by Juan Manuel Rodríguez featuring a new series of watercolors created over the past three years. The works stem from his Master’s in Painting, completed at the University of the Basque Country. Returning to academia prompted a profound self-questioning that reshaped his practice and marked a clear break from the aesthetic that had long defined him. Previously, Rodríguez’s work was rooted in hyperrealism, often depicting intimate scenes—beds and crumpled sheets as topographies of memory and affection—based on photographs capturing emotionally significant moments. By contrast, these recent paintings do not originate from direct photographic reference. Instead, they emerge from experimentation with watercolor: the play between pigment and water becomes the driving force. On large, soaked sheets of paper, the artist lays down rapid brushstrokes, then manipulates the resulting forms to shap ... More
Guido Guidi turns home into muse in "A casa," his most intimate exhibition yet at Large Glass LONDON.- Perhaps his most exquisite exhibition to date, Guido Guidi’s seventh show at the gallery "A casa" focuses on the famed Italian photographer's home in Ronta, near Cesena. Purchased by Guidi’s father in the 1950s, this house is both a living space and a studio, as well as a meeting place for emerging artists – a space where personal memories and artistic process intertwine, and where his archive is housed. The artist photographer and bookmaker John Gossage has been a long time friend of Guidi’s. The two have been on many photographic journeys together and for "A casa", he has made a small sequence of six books, acknowledging the gift of friendship, featuring photographs taken on visits to Guidi’s house, a homage to a fellow artist. In late October, journalist Bartolomeo Sala travelled to Guido Guidi’s home to ask him about this place that looms large in his life ... More
Large-scale 'weathervane' public artwork by Turner Prize-winner Jasleen Kaur unveiled in Thamesmead LONDON.- A new public sculpture by current Turner Prize-winner Jasleen Kaur as been unveiled by the artist in Thamesmead, South East London, on Friday 28 Nov. Kaur was selected for the commission by a panel of five young, first-time curators from the town in 2022. Called Wa3. I3. Wťll be., Kaur’s first permanent public artwork was developed in close collaboration with these curators and the local community. Fronting onto Southmere Lake in Cygnet Square, South Thamesmead, Was. Is. Will Be. is part-poem, part-community archive. Fragments of local conversation are permanently embedded into the landscape, leading the eye to the words “HORSES ARE HERE” written high in the sky - in reference to the Traveller Horses that have grazed on the land for hundreds of years. Moving with the wind, the weathervane-like form points to the town’s past, present, ... More
