TULA.- Archaeologists working in Tula, Hidalgo, have uncovered a remarkable series of ancient burials that may help explain how communities in the region lived, mourned and organized themselves during the height of Teotihuacan’s influence. The discovery was made near the community of Ignacio Zaragoza, where specialists from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History, INAH, are carrying out archaeological rescue work along the route of the Mexico City-Querétaro Passenger Train. Since September 2025, the team has been studying a 2,400-square-meter area where traces of an ancient domestic complex began to emerge beneath land long used for agriculture. At first, the evidence was subtle: scattered fragments of pottery on the surface, including materials from the Coyotlatelco and Mexica periods. But once archaeologists opened test pits, they began to identify wall foundations and the remains of small residential groups arranged around patios. These homes, oriented along north ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) was a German-born biologist, naturalist, evolutionist, artist, philosopher, and doctor who spent his life researching flora and fauna from the highest mountaintops to the deepest ocean. A vociferous supporter and developer of Darwin’s theories of evolution, he denounced religious dogma, authored philosophical treatises, gained a doctorate in zoology, and coined scientific terms which have passed into common usage, including ecology, phylum, and stem cell. At the heart of Haeckel’s colossal legacy was the motivation not only to discover but also to explain. To do this, he created hundreds of detailed drawings, watercolors, and sketches of his findings which he published in successive volumes, including several marine organism collections and the majestic Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature), which could serve as the cornerstone of Haeckel’s entire life project. ...

NEW YORK, NY.- This spring, the Morgan Library & Museum presents Hujar:Contact, an exhibition exploring the life, times, and creative evolution of photographer Peter Hujar (1934–1987). On view from May 22 through October 25, 2026, the exhibition features more than 110 contact sheets and 20 enlargements from the Morgan’s collection of Peter Hujar’s works. Highlights include portraits of artists and performers such as Marsha P. Johnson, Jackie Curtis, Patti Smith, Candy Darling, John Zorn, and Ethyl Eichelberger, as well as Hujar’s creative collaborators and lovers, including Paul Thek, Joseph Raffael, and David Wojnarowicz. Hujar’s distinctive portraiture, alongside rare prints of his street photography, interiors, and landscapes, reveals the unflinching eye he cast upon a vast range of subjects. In 2013, the Morgan acquired the 5,783 black-and-white contact sheets Hujar possessed at the time of his death, along with two notebooks, or “job books,” in which he recorde ... More
CORNING, NY.- Spanning 150 years of creativity, resilience and expression, “Gateways: African American Art from the Key Collection” offers a rich survey of African American art. The exhibition will be on view at The Rockwell Museum, a Smithsonian Affiliate in Corning, New York, from May 23-Aug. 17, 2026. Presented as a centerpiece of the Museum’s 50th anniversary celebration and in alignment with America 250, “Gateways” explores the American experience through art that elevates historically underrepresented voices. “‘Gateways’ reflects The Rockwell Museum’s commitment to frame the American story through diverse perspectives,” said Erin M. Coe, executive director of The Rockwell. “This exhibition underscores the vital role of collectors like Eric Key in shaping the art historical canon, while honoring the many ways Black artists have defined, challenged and expanded the story of America it ...

WASHINGTON, DC.- The National Gallery of Art presents Beneath the Surface: Mining and American Photography, the first exhibition to exclusively examine the relationship between resource extraction and American photography throughout its history. Spanning nearly 200 years, the exhibition examines how photographers have approached the challenge of capturing the significant but often hidden processes and impacts of the extraction of minerals, coal, and fossil fuels and its associated industries. Featuring 150 photographs by more than 100 artists, including Richard Avedon, Walker Evans, Lewis Hine, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Dorothea Lange, David Maisel, Gordon Parks, Mitch Epstein, Carleton Watkins, Will Wilson, and more, Beneath the Surface reveals how generations of photographers have utilized evolving technologies and distinctive visual strategies to document the industries that power and shape modern life. Beneath the Surface will be on view at the National Gallery of Art from May 23 to August 23, 2026, bef ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Gagosian announced Anselm Kiefer: Seal My Ears Shut and I Shall Hear You Still. Opening on May 15 at 541 West 24th Street, the exhibition features a new group of paintings that advance Kiefer’s ongoing exploration of feminine archetypes and landscape as symbolic form. For the works on view, Kiefer drew inspiration from poet Rainer Maria Rilke, painter Caspar David Friedrich, and female figures from classical mythology who connect landscapes with allegorical narratives. Incorporating thickly textured layers that emphasize materiality and transformation to embody the luminosity, growth, and movement found in nature, the paintings are executed in oil, acrylic, emulsion, shellac, collaged canvas, gold leaf, and sediment of electrolysis. That last material is a deep verdigris green produced when a bath of copper, salts, and fluids is exposed to electrical current—a process that is a physical realization of the artist’s long-standing interest in alchemy. In Für R.M.R. wi ... More
Lucien Pissarro (French, 1863–1944), Interior of the Studio, 1887, oil on canvas, 25-1/4 x 31-1/2 in. (canvas). Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, Gift in memory of Robert S. Ashby by his family and friends, 1995.100.
INDIANAPOLIS, IN.- Impressionism Across Generations: The Pissarro Family Legacy brings together, for the first time, seven works from the collection, by three members of the Pissarro family. This exhibition compares the three artists’ individual styles while exploring how their family’s culture of mutual respect and collaboration fostered artistic innovation. “We are excited to share these important paintings from the IMA’s collection and offer visitors the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the creative exchanges of the Pissarro family,” said Curatorial Assistant Sadie Arft. “Camille is well known as the ‘father’ of the Impressionist movement, and his sons Lucien and Georges each experimented with pioneering painting techniques, with Lucien even influencing his father to adopt Neo-Impressionism. The family’s story of intergenerational support is one in which we can all find inspiration.” The Pissarros’ artistic legacy is only part of the s ... More
WOLVERHAMPTON.- Iconic works by Andy Warhol are being exhibited at Wolverhampton Art Gallery this summer as part of Andy Warhol: Art Star, an ARTIST ROOMS exhibition in partnership with Tate and National Galleries of Scotland. This major exhibition includes early drawings from the 1950s, paintings, screenprints, posters and photographs featuring Warhol’s collaborations with artists, friends, filmmakers and celebrities. Alongside iconic images of American consumerism sit portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, The Beatles and the famous ‘Campbell’s Soup’. Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was one of the most influential American artists to emerge in the second half of the twentieth century. A central figure in Pop Art in the 1960s, he reimagined what art could be at a time of great social, political and technological change. Although Warhol is known predominantly as a painter and graphic artist, he also produced many films and published magazines and books. Andy Warhol: Art Star spans ... More

Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia; The Andrew Ladis and William Underwood Eiland Collection, Gift of William Underwood Eiland in honor of Sarah Blake McHam. 2012.16.
ATHENS, GA.- It’s easy to feel far removed from the Civil War era, but for students in the University of Georgia’s HIST 4760/6760 Hands-on Public History course that isn’t the case. Students in this class work with community partners to develop public history projects based on primary and secondary sources. This spring semester, the class partnered with the Georgia Museum of Art to curate “Seeing the News in Harper’s Weekly, 1860 – 80,” an exhibition featuring illustrations from Harper’s Weekly that focus on the Civil War and its aftermath. The exhibition will be on view in the museum’s Study Gallery May 23 – July 12. Akela Reason, history professor and director of the museum studies certificate program at UGA, taught the course. To choose a topic for the exhibition, she partnered with Tricia Miller, deputy director of collections and exhibitions and head registrar at the museum, who taught HIST 4765 (Museum Registration Methods) this past spring.

Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, Self-Portrait Frowning, 1630, Kunstmuseum Karlsruhe, Siegel Collection.
KARLSRUHE.- A face twisted by pain, a hand lifted toward heaven, a faint smile, a restless gaze. Across centuries, artists have returned again and again to the same question: how can inner feeling be made visible? Kunstmuseum Karlsruhe is exploring that question in “Expressive! Graphic art from Dürer to Schlichter,” an exhibition that opened on May 23 and continues through October 4, 2026. Bringing together around 250 works from the museum’s graphic collection, the exhibition offers a broad journey through more than five centuries of human emotion, from the precision of Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt to the psychological intensity of Käthe Kollwitz, Rudolf Schlichter, and Marlene Dumas. For the first time, the museum is presenting the treasures of its graphic collection in such a comprehensive way. The show unfolds through thematic rooms that look at expression not simply as style, but as a visual language shared across time, culture, and artistic tradition. One section focuses on the ... More
CHARLEROI.- Ever since the earliest days of photography, the family has naturally found its way into the heart of the image. In front of the daguerreotype lens, people often had their photograph taken with their loved ones. As keen amateurs explored the camera’s possibilities, family members – sometimes against their will – became impromptu models. In 1888, when Kodak launched an easy-to-use camera, the intention was to enable everyone to become the guardian of their own memories, a discreet archivist of moments captured within the home, contributing to the creation of what would later be called ‘family archives’. But how do we photograph our loved ones today? How do we view our own family, the bonds that unite us, or sometimes elude us? Does family photography continue to evoke only frozen moments of happiness, those moments that were so often chosen in past decades to fill the albums? Or, at a time when the very notion of family is being redefined, reinvented, sought els ... More
Detail of The World, by Rafael Moreno, January 2026.
ALTKIRCH.- What is The World? If we had to state something certain about it, we could say that it is round and that it turns. And perhaps we could add that it contains an incalculable number of things, tangible or imaginary. When spoken in English, “The World” renders the notion even more totalising, more overwhelming, more chaotic. The exhibition The World shares this with the world. Full of objects and words that are in a constant state of rotation, it is a vast collage bristling with paper skyscrapers and full of holes. The figures that inhabit the space are mannequins with a fixed, penetrating stare: the Pinocchias. What might they think of the world? The World is Rafael Moreno’s first solo exhibition at an arts centre in France. A series of new productions fills the first floor of CRAC Alsace. Sculptures, installations, collages, poems and films all reveal a patchwork appearance, as if they had been assembled hastily from found objects or were in a constant process of being ma ... More

Artist Glenn Brown returns to Bath with major dual-venue exhibition BATH.- Forty years after studying in the city, Glenn Brown returns to Bath this spring with a major exhibition that disrupts the calm order and symmetry long associated with Georgian design. Opened on 22 May 2026, Brown in Bath unfolds across two historic sites – Glenn Brown: Grottoesque at No.1 Royal Crescent and Glenn Brown in Bath: Arrows of Desire at the Holburne Museum (opened 16 May 2026) - in a thematic split exploring humankind and nature. At the Gallery at No.1 Royal Crescent, Brown pits symmetry against distortion, his paintings and drawings responding to the Georgian shell grotto, landscapes and the grotesque nature of trees. Brown even transformed one of the Gallery rooms into a ‘grotto’ featuring three new large-scale paintings of multiple heads, set within shell-encrusted frames. While the main exhibition displays in the Gallery, visitors will also be able to discover a selection of his drawings within the historic house museum itself. Brown has also designed new ... More
Salzburger Kunstverein announces new exhibitions by Agnes Scherer and freakygreenfish SALZBURG.- Agnes Scherer’s exhibition Three Wicked Games departs from an inventory of contemporary obsessions and lets it drift backwards, or sideways, into two so-called tapestry cartoons by Francisco Goya: Blind Man’s Bluff (1789) and The Straw Manikin (1791). Both depict folk games. The artist recognises in these games a structure that feels uncannily contemporary. In both compositions, a powerless figure occupies the centre. Around it, society arranges itself as choreography. Someone is blind, someone is thrown, someone laughs, and someone waits for their turn. To these games, Scherer adds a third, imagined scene that likewise suggests play. Scherer translates Blind Man’s Bluff and The Straw Manikin into a ghostly puppet-theatre. While she quotes Goya’s compositions almost one-to-one, she empties the figures of their bodily fullness. The intact figure no longer feels right, Scherer insists. It belongs to a fantasy of coherence that the present cannot support. What interest ... More
Wilding Cran Gallery presents Seffa Klein's first Los Angeles solo exhibition LOS ANGELES, CA.- Wilding Cran Gallery is presenting Sleeves, a new body of work in Seffa Klein's ongoing Fire Blankets series, rooted in the artist's nearly decade-long experimentation with molten bismuth. Across her multidisciplinary practice, Seffa Klein approaches each body of work through a sustained engagement with origin sites, foundational units, and the unspoken assumptions that shape consciousness, ideology, and our constructed patterns of perception. Drawing on systems of diffusion, nonlinear dynamics, and biological processes, her compositions consider how scientific research and mathematics interact with imagination and meditation as epistemological tools for comprehending the nature of our world. Forged exclusively during the highest-energy events in the universe (collisions between neutron stars so violent they birth black holes), bismuth carries properties both medicinal and metaphysical. Klein moves through all of these registers without a hierarchy of perspective, understanding each as ... More
MASS MoCA presents Spatial Poems communal exhibition in three concurrent parts NORTH ADAMS, MASS.- MASS MoCA is presenting Spatial Poems, a communal exhibition in three concurrent parts developed by CEI Fellow Marissa Del Toro in collaboration with guest curators Ninabah Winton and Jamillah Hinson. The exhibition features the work of artists Cecilia Vicuña, Lola Ayisha Ogbara, and Sam Frésquez. Cecilia Vicuña’s ‘precarios’ – a series of multidisciplinary works composed in part of sculptures made out of debris and in part collective rituals of dissonant sound – serve as the overarching conceptual framework for the three interrelated projects, with curators and artists responding to the many themes Vicuña’s works evoke. The artists and artworks explore ephemerality, memory, and cyclical repetition through a range of materials and compositional approaches. Together, the exhibitions can be understood as a score or spatial poem, created by curators and artists working in a euphonious rhythm. Spatial Poems inspires a dialogue on care, social relations, and t ... More
RISD Museum reunites rare 19th-century Japanese Surimono Albums in landmark exhibition PROVIDENCE, RI.- The RISD Museum presents The Artistry and Reunion of Two Surimono Albums, a major exhibition opening May 23, 2026, that reunites for the first time in nearly 100 years two extraordinary albums of Japanese surimono—luxurious woodblock prints that combine poetry, imagery, and exquisite craftsmanship. Originally assembled in Osaka in the late 1820s by poet Iga Kurimi, the albums bring together more than 175 works created by designers, poets, and printmakers working at the intersection of visual art and literary culture. These intricately produced prints invite close looking and active interpretation, pairing richly layered imagery with witty kyōka verse—a playful and often subversive form of classical Japanese poetry. Surimono, meaning “printed things,” were often exchanged at poetry gatherings and created to mark special occasions such as the New Year, seasonal festivals, theatrical performances, and personal milestones. Many depict treasured objects—food, t ... More
Maximiliane Baumgartner opens solo exhibition Proxy in Düsseldorf DUSSELDORF.- Maximiliane Baumgartner’s solo exhibition Proxy – Der Bürger als Pflanze comprises three interconnected chapters. The starting point for the show is the artist’s longstanding interest in spatial contexts and their social, political, and historical implications in light of structural continuities from the Nazi era. By focusing on specific examples, Baumgartner examines how Nazi structures are dealt with, revealing the extent to which urban planning and architecture continue to carry ideological and propagandistic remnants long after 1945, whilst practices of resistance were given little or no space. The exhibition’s first chapter presents works stemming from Baumgartner’s engagement with the historic “Hof-Atelier Elvira” in Munich. The second chapter comprises works relating to the painter Dore Meyer-Vax, who was active in the city of Nuremberg during the postwar period. Produced in 2021 and 2024, both series of works foreground queer-feminist practice ... More
New cabinet exhibition reunites Dürer's Seven Sorrows panel with a contemporary drawing by Elsner DRESDEN.- With “In the Face of Humanity – Sławomir Elsner/Albrecht Dürer” (23 May to 30 August 2026), the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister is devoting a tightly focused show to Sławomir Elsner. On view in the Semper-Kabinett are eight new compositions created by Elsner over a period of several months and relating to works by Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528), the most important artist of the German Renaissance. Born in 1976 in Poland and today based in Berlin, Elsner frequently starts from paintings by earlier masters, which he transposes into drawing. These are the same size as the original and characterised by extremely fine hatching in coloured pencil. The overlapping, meticulously drawn lines create shimmering concentrations of colour that possess both lightness and luminous depth. Seen close-up, they appear abstract; only from a distance can we make out forms and figures. At the centre of the presentation is “The Seven Sorrows of the Virgin” (1495/96), an early w ... More
Elektrohalle Rhomberg opens Relationen group exhibition in Salzburg SALZBURG.- “I am you, when I am I,” writes Paul Celan in his poem “Lob der Ferne”. Ingeborg Bachmann, in turn, asks him in her final, unsent letter to him: “Who am I to you, who after so many years?” And somewhere in between lies a person who encounters someone, touches someone, breaks with someone. Bachmann and Celan stand as exemplary figures among countless philosophical and literary positions that render the history of humanity as a web of interpersonal relationships. The group exhibition “Relationen” builds on this premise. Presenting works by Arang Choi, Ruben Einsmann, Max Freund, Ayaka Terajima, and Lilly Varga, it brings together five distinct artistic voices that negotiate relationships between individuals, bodies, spaces, and social structures in all their ambivalence. Heads entwined, expressive faces, tender hands, and anxious gestures – the figures in Lilly Varga's (*1992 in Munich, GER) portraits wrestle with one another, with intimacy an ... More
Fridericianum to present Peter Fischli's first institutional solo exhibition in Germany KASSEL.- Flashing lights, mirrors, and loose power cords: With their vertical supports, horizontal arms, and luminaires, Peter Fischli’s kinetic sculptures are reminiscent of urban traffic lights or stage elements. Fashioned out of simple materials and coated in layers of gray paint they hint at urban surfaces and reveal an enigmatic rhythm of light and sound in the exhibition space. Their alternating signals follow no fixed logic. Instead the sculptures develop their own sequences in white, orange, or yellow tones. Some objects feature reflective panels or stained glass, while others display dangling cables. At times, the structures resemble gallows or bare trees. They can be read as abstract compositions, diagram-like figures, or psychogram-like symbols. These sometimes unsettling constructions reference systems of order, perception, and transcendence, yet defy clear interpretation. In his practice, Fischli explores the aesthetics of the everyday and the functionalities of systems of mea ... More
Marc Selwyn Fine Art announces first solo exhibition of late modernist Betty Lane LOS ANGELES, CA.- Marc Selwyn Fine Art, in partnership with Almost Forgotten Women Artists, an initiative of the Cameron Parsons Foundation, announces Betty Lane, the gallery’s first exhibition with the late American artist. Bringing together eight paintings from 1929 to 1947, the presentation offers a focused look at her diverse practice. Born in Washington, D.C. in 1907, Lane began her studies at the Corcoran School of Art before continuing at the Massachusetts Normal Art School (now Massachusetts College of Art). In 1928, she traveled to Paris to study under André L’Hote. Lane developed a distinctive visual language defined by clarity of structure, sensitivity to color, and a quiet but persistent emotional charge. Her paintings are marked by a sense of compositional restraint that gives way to an underlying intensity—an effect that lends even her most pared-down images a lasting presence. In Untitled (Provençal Landscape), c. 1929, painted around her studies in Paris, Lane organizes th ... More
