Many of the acquisitions introduce important artists ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- This September, Hauser & Wirth New York will present the gallery’s first exhibition with Lee Bul, one of the most influential artists of her generation and a singular voice in contemporary art’s ongoing reckoning with the promises and failures of modernity. Bringing together major new sculptures with recent bodies of work, ‘The Anatomy of Every Setting Sun,’ organized by guest curator Dr. Jiyoon Lee, extends Lee’s decades-long examination of humanity’s drive to transcend nature through technology and systems of control. The works on view reveal the tensions between utopian aspiration and inevitable collapse, exposing the entangled relationships between technology, history and nature. This presentation comes at a pivotal moment for the artist, ahead of the opening of ‘Lee Bul: From 1998 to Now,’ her major traveling survey exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp, ...

SEOUL.- Gagosian announced its participation in Frieze Seoul with a selection of paintings and sculptures by Damien Hirst, drawn from many of the artist’s most acclaimed series. The presentation follows Hirst’s celebrated exhibition at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, his first museum retrospective in Asia, which attracted more than half a million visitors. Over the past four decades, Hirst has probed the boundaries of art and life, confronting the forces that shape human experience through a range of forms, materials, and strategies. The ultimate provocateur, he has turned to both the shocking and the seemingly banal to explore the intersections and complexities of beauty, belief, and truth. The works on view at Frieze illuminate the extraordinary scope of Hirst’s oeuvre, revealing a practice that remains as vital and urgent as ever in its engagement with fundamental questions surrounding order and chaos, life and death, fiction and reality. “It i ...

SYDNEY.- A visionary artist and cultural icon, Sidney Nolan transformed the image of a nation and changed the course of Australian art with his depictions of the country’s landscapes and legends. Opening at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in October, the major exhibition Nolan: Origins, journeys through the artist’s formative years and the extraordinary body of work that established him as a defining figure in modern art. Spanning the remarkable creative period from the late 1930s until Nolan’s departure for the United Kingdom in 1953, and bringing together more than 150 significant works from public and private collections, Nolan: Origins is the first major survey dedicated exclusively to the artist’s early years in Australia. The exhibition traces the intense output of a young artist who achieved artistic maturity with remarkable speed, exploring the locations and myths that inspired Nolan’s creative breakthroughs and shaped one of the most celebrated oeuvres in Au ...

LAGOS.- The Lagos Biennial is pleased to announce the inaugural Curatorial Lab Lagos—an intensive three-day programme led by Adam Szymczyk. Taking place immediately after the Biennial's opening weekend, Curatorial Lab Lagos is conceived as an experimental platform to question inherited exhibition models and to imagine new curatorial futures from Africa and beyond. This idea first manifested during the 2019 edition of the Lagos Biennial as a curatorial intensive programme. Responding to the Biennial's 2026 theme, The Museum of Things Unseen, the programme invites participants to rethink the museum, the exhibition, and the canon itself. Through collective discussion, site visits, presentations, and workshops, participants will investigate how curatorial practice can become a tool for rewriting institutional histories, challenging dominant narratives, and inventing new forms of cultural imagination. Rather than teaching established methods, the Curatorial Lab asks a more urgent question: How ... More
Xhevdet Xhafa, Autobiography, 1975. Mixed media, 120 x 270 cm. Courtesy of the artist.
PRISHTIN.- The National Gallery of Kosova presents Still Running, a major solo exhibition by Xhevdet Xhafa, one of the pioneering figures of modern art in Kosova. Bringing together works produced over more than six decades, the exhibition traces the continuities and transformations of a practice developed across changing artistic, institutional, and political conditions. Working across painting, drawing, printmaking, performance, assemblage, and relief, Xhafa moves continually between image and object. Everyday things such as shoes, garments, cords, cloth, vessels appear as physical materials incorporated into the work. Attached, folded, covered, or absorbed into dense surfaces, these objects complicate the boundary between representation and material presence. The body remains an insistent presence, even when it is absent. Worn shoes and clothing retain traces of use; folds, cavities, and damaged surfaces suggest contact, movement, and loss. In works dominated by black or white, familiar objects ... More

VIENNA.- In the MAK exhibition Kateryna Lysovenko: Borderland (16.9.2026–18.10.2026), the Ukrainian-born, Vienna-based artist Kateryna Lysovenko combines the language of classical painting with contemporary issues. In paintings—some of which were created specifically for the MAK—and selected watercolors, Lysovenko juxtaposes vulnerable bodies, hybrid beings, and mythological tales with heroic narratives of war. She investigates the connections between the body and ideology, using the medium of painting to make life in war and exile a tangible experience. With her thematic explorations, she opens up spaces for social and political imagination. Lysovenko views painting as a social act and a political medium. Her work is less about illustrating events than about methods of discovering and questioning the world. Her dynamic imagery is based on observations, shifts, and fragments of everyday life. Here, painting becomes a tool to renegotiate visibility and reality. She develops series ... More
Peter Klare, "Silverlake" aus der Serie "Silver". Silberpigment Gouache auf Fotografie, 2017, 89 60 cm Peter Klare / VG Bild-Kunst Bonn, 2026.
BERLIN.- At Haus am Kleistpark, Peter Klare’s exhibition Schwaananien brings painting, photography and sculpture into close conversation, tracing the ways an image can move off the wall, occupy space and challenge the way viewers understand what they are seeing. On view through September 13, 2026, the exhibition gathers several strands of the Berlin-based artist’s practice, from monumental flower paintings and manipulated photographs to sculptural works made from canvas. Rather than treating these media as separate categories, Klare allows forms, colors and materials to migrate between them, creating a body of work that feels deliberately fluid. At the heart of the exhibition are large-scale floral paintings whose size gives them an almost architectural presence. Filling entire walls, the works are designed to be experienced physically as much as visually, drawing the viewer into fields of color, light and atmosphere. The paintings also mark Klare’s recent return to working en pl ... More
‘Self-Reflections’ Maria Daniel Balcazar
LONDON.- Naomi Lewis and Maria Daniel Balcazar are two outstanding photography artists whose respective body of works – in subject matter as well as technique and style - are testament to the breadth and richness of contemporary photography. Albumen’s Director and Founder, Stephan Schmid said, “We are pleased to announce the representation of two formidable artists in the international fine art photography world – Naomi Lewis and Maria Daniel Balcazar. In their own respective subject matters and artistic style the works of Naomi Lewis and Maria Daniel Balcazar align perfectly with Albumen Gallery’s commitment to championing boundary-pushing photographic art. Naomi Lewis is a multi-disciplinary artist working across film, performance and writing. At the axis of her work is a belief that our relationship with the maternal, as an agentive force inherent in nature, is in tatters. Central to Naomi Lewis’s work is her experience of growing up with a mother who suffered s ... More

ACC presents Space-Out Competition with visual artist Woopsyang GWANGJU .- Every day, we are surrounded by screens, sounds, and endless streams of information. In a world of constant connection and immediate response, simply pausing has become an extraordinary experience. As the first program in the ACC Future Class series, ACC presents Space-Out Competition at ACC Hanul Madang, a participatory performance with visual artist Woopsyang. Through this project, the artist invites participants to space out together. For 90 minutes, participants will do nothing—gradually becoming aware of their bodies, their breathing, and the world around them. Space-Out Competition at ACC Hanul Madang transforms the ordinary act of resting into a shared artistic experience. Participants pause, observe, and breathe together, completing a collective performance through stillness. As people gather to pause in the heart of a fast-moving city, Hanul Madang becomes an open site for artistic practice. In a society driven by speed, productivity, and efficiency, the program reconside ... More
PICA closes 2026 program with a major SPACED collaboration and landmark Shannon Lyons mid-career survey PERTH.- Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts will open the final season of its 2026 artistic program this October with Circular Economies, a major exhibition presented in partnership with SPACED that brings the outcomes of socially-engaged artist residencies across regional Western Australia into PICA’s Central Galleries. Running from 17 October to 20 December 2026, this season brings together local, national and international perspectives through three distinct presentations: Circular Economies in the Central Galleries; Cafe coming soon, a major mid-career survey exhibition by Western Australian artist Shannon Lyons in the West End Gallery; and Foragers in PICA’s Screen Space presented by Palestinian artist Jumana Manna. Across the season, artists consider the systems, relationships and exchanges that shape how we understand place—from the knowledge, resources and labour circulating through regional communities, to the architecture of hospitality and social connection, and the ...

Joe Diggs and Whitney Hagen bring two distinct visions of abstraction to Venice VENICE.- Two American painters with very different approaches to abstraction will take over neighboring spaces at Castello 925 this fall, offering visitors a pair of exhibitions that move between memory, color, geometry and the physical experience of painting. Opening during the same week and running from September 24 through November 22, 2026, Joe Diggs: In Venice and Whitney Hagen: Chromatic Conditions form part of Castello 925's program alongside the 61st Venice Biennale. Both exhibitions respond, in their own ways, to the Biennale's theme, In Minor Keys. An opening reception for the shows is scheduled for Saturday, September 26.
The similarities largely end there. For Joe Diggs, abstraction emerges from memory, family history and the textures of everyday life. The Cape Cod-based artist has long been known for figurative paintings rooted in his family and the African American community, but the Venice exhibition reveals another side of his practice: a world of color, pattern and layered for ...

Brutus Art Space to host Santiago Sierra's largest Netherlands solo exhibition ROTTERDAM.- From 20 September to 20 December 2026, Brutus Art Space presents DEATH & MONEY by Santiago Sierra, the largest solo exhibition of the artist's work ever presented in the Netherlands. Curated by A/POLITICAL, the exhibition brings together existing and newly commissioned works that expose the ongoing geopolitical entanglement of war and profit. Brutus director Sanne ten Brink: "Santiago Sierra creates work that challenges, provokes and sparks debate. That is precisely why we believe it is important to show his work. With DEATH & MONEY, he poses an uncomfortable yet urgent question: how do we relate to war, violence and injustice when we are confronted with them on a daily basis?" Santiago Sierra's work examines the mechanisms of labour, inequality, state power and economic exploitation. With DEATH & MONEY, he reveals how violence, representation and economic interests have become increasingly intertwined in a world where war, inequality and exclusion form part of broader political and ec ...

Yancey Richardson presents Yale MFA photography graduates in group exhibition NEW YORK, NY.- Yancey Richardson is presenting Once More, With Feeling, a group exhibition highlighting the work of the 2026 Yale MFA graduates in photography: Christian Badach, Chen Xiangyun, Jasmine Clarke, Faith Couch, Christopher Postlewaite, Olivia Reavey, John Shen, Em Wall and Andrew Warner. The exhibition is on view from August 12 through August 28, 2026. The Yale MFA in Photography is a celebrated two-year program of study admitting ten students a year. The program is committed to a broad definition of photography as a lens-based medium open to a variety of expressive means. Students work both individually and in groups with faculty and visiting artists. Christian Badach’s photographs follow the life of a woman named Cedar, who suffers from hypermobility disorder. Through collaboration between artist and protagonist, the work uses their shared landscape of Western Massachusetts as a site to decode the ways seasonal cycles grant permissions and restrictions of movement, paradoxical ...

National Sporting Library & Museum extends Nic Fiddian Green retrospective MIDDLEBURG, VA.- The National Sporting Library & Museum announced that Nic Fiddian Green: Spiritus Equus, the first-ever retrospective of the acclaimed British sculptor's equine works, has been extended through February 21, 2027. Originally scheduled to close on September 12, 2026, the exhibition will remain on view for several additional months due to popular demand, giving visitors an extended opportunity to experience this landmark presentation. Since 2012, Fiddian Green's monumental sculpture Still Water (2011) has greeted visitors at the entrance to the NSLM's Museum, becoming emblematic of the institution itself. To create the iconic nine-foot-tall horse head, the artist hammered sheets of lead, then secured them with copper rivets—a technique representative of his decades-long engagement with a striking range of materials, from lead, copper, gold, and silver sheet to cast bronze, hand-carved marble and semi-precious stone, and charcoal drawing. Spiritus Equus brings together this full bread ... More
David Kordansky Gallery presents Tala Madani solo exhibition Control X LOS ANGELES, CA.- David Kordansky Gallery announced Control X, an exhibition of new paintings and video animations by Tala Madani. The exhibition is on view in Los Angeles at 5130 W. Edgewood Pl. from September 18 through October 24, 2026. Control X features several new bodies of paintings and new animations in which characters and settings subject themselves, willingly or not, to forces by which they are broken down and reformed. The works address mythologies of creation as they trace the fine lines between making and destroying in art, language, history, and human relationships. By foregrounding acts of markmaking, the exhibition establishes emotionally resonant parallels between the worlds the figures inhabit and the materially present world of painting itself. The result is a form of realism that goes beyond artifice, and that allows the work to address the widest possible range of historical, art historical, and contemporary crises with both humor and critique. A new series of mountain portraits, f ... More
Frist Art Museum announces 2027 schedule of exhibitions NASHVILLE, TENN.- The Frist Art Museum announced its 2027 schedule of exhibitions.

Mixed-media artist Farhad Ostovani to visit the Nelson-Atkins KANSAS CITY, MO.- Mixed-media artist Farhad Ostovani will visit The Nelson Atkins Museum of Art this October for a discussion on an exhibition of his work now on display at the museum. This special event explores the intersection of sight and sound in Farhad Ostovani: Goldberg Variations. Inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach’s beloved keyboard composition, Ostovani’s series on the Goldberg Variations depicts plant forms—the flowerless stems and leaves of rose plants— which move and twist across empty space. Working with ink and brush, impressions, and chalk lines, he builds up his compositions from delicate layers of Nepalese paper. These botanical forms are his invented symbolic language for depicting the auditory experience of music. “Farhad Ostovani is an artist of great sensitivity,” said Julin Zugazagoitia, Director & CEO of the Nelson-Atkins. “He has the ability to strip his subject down to its bare essence. In his Goldberg Variations, a gesture of line or a pool o ... More
Rare first edition, first printing Harry Potter hardback comes to auction LOS ANGELES, CA.- Nate D. Sanders Auctions is set to auction the most coveted book in the Harry Potter canon: a first edition, first printing hardback of J.K. Rowling's debut novel, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." This particular copy is one of only 500 hardback editions from the initial printing, making it far scarcer and more collectible than the softcover edition published concurrently. Shortly after its debut in June 1997, the novel soared to the top of book lists voted on by children, prompting adults across the publishing world to take notice. The phenomenon of Harry Potter only grew stronger over the following years, as more Millennial children aged into reading the book and its sequels, famously devouring each new installment the day it was released. "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is now firmly ensconced as a classic of children's literature and stands as the second most successful children's book of all time — making this scarce hardback survivor a physical artifact ...
