VIENNA.- Step into a world where language becomes image, and color and text collide in mesmerizing new works by New York City artist Doug Argue, viewed by critic Donald Kuspit as a “visionary,” who is “able to make unconscious feeling conscious.” The Sylvia Kovacek Gallery in Vienna is delighted to present Argue in Europe for the second time. From April 14 to May 9, 2026, the gallery at Spiegelgasse 12, 1010, is showing a selection of new and key works by the painter, sending a clear signal for internationally relevant contemporary art in Vienna. Argue understands painting as a complex pictorial space animated by dynamism, depth, and intense use of colour. His works move between abstraction and illusion, between precisely placed structure and free gesture. Large and medium-scale works convey a sense of continuing beyond their own edges; smaller ...

WEST PALM BEACH, FLA.- There’s a monkey on the island; impeccably dressed, martini-adjacent, and deeply Palm Beach. Monkeying Around Palm Beach is the latest portrait series by Palm Beach resident artist Serge Strosberg , reimagining Johnnie Brown, architect Addison Mizner’s famously pet monkey (and near-mythical island character), as a modern avatar of Palm Beach life. Johnnie, whose gravestone still sits quietly in the courtyard of Pizza al Fresco just off Worth Avenue, was once a fixture of Mizner’s social world in the Roaring Twenties, attending parties, accompanying the architect around town, and even “running” for mayor. Strosberg first encountered Johnnie not in a museum, but during a walk on the island, when that headstone stopped him short and sparked a deeper exploration of Palm Beach mythology. In Strosberg’s hands, Johnnie becomes a mirror for the island itself. Rendered in jewel like oil and egg t ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- The Museum of Modern Art announces Marcel Duchamp, the first North American retrospective of the artist’s work in over 50 years, on view from April 12 through August 22, 2026, in the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Center for Special Exhibitions. The last major retrospective of Marcel Duchamp’s (American, born France. 1887–1968) work was the 1973 survey co-organized by MoMA and the Philadelphia Museum of Art; this exhibition offers 21st-century audiences the first opportunity to view the breadth of the artist’s creative output. The exhibition presents work across six decades of the artist’s multifaceted career, spanning all mediums, including painting, sculpture, film, photography, drawings, and printed matter. Marcel Duchamp is organized by The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Philadelphia ... More
LONDON.- Victoria Miro Projects is presenting Entangled Pluralism by London-based artist Yulia Iosilzon. This is the twelfth project in an ongoing series of presentations by invited international artists. Working across painting and ceramics, Iosilzon constructs immersive environments in which figures and landscapes exist in a state of continuous transformation. Drawing on art historical, biblical and mythological references, her new body of work unfolds as fluid, allegorical spaces where narrative remains open and meaning emerges through association. Recurring motifs – such as suns, arcs and organic forms – shape compositions, animating the surface ‘almost like a living ecosystem of symbols and signs,’ says the artist. Throughout the exhibition, figures appear as changeable presences within expansive, dreamlike terrains, while environments fold in on themselves, merging sky and landscape. ‘The original image is undone and remade, a possible ...

Adam Pendleton, Can I Be.
NEUSS.- Langen Foundation is presenting Adam Pendleton: Can I Be?, a major solo exhibition that explores abstraction, language, and history—examining how these forces converge in unlikely and poetic ways. Pendleton, a central figure in contemporary American art, is known for paintings that have redefined the boundaries of abstraction. Upending linear compositional logic, his paintings are created through a distilled layering of gesture, fragment, and form. Each work comes to life through expressionistic flourishes, stark contrasts, and subtle uses of material, tone, and finish, combined with a precision reminiscent of Minimal and Conceptual art. In 2008, he began to define his working method as ‘Black Dada’—a critical framework for exploring the relationship between Blackness, abstraction, and the historical avant-gardes—for which he is now widely recognized. The exhibition opens with a monumental black pavilion containing Pendleton’s video work Toy ... More
VIENNA.- It is with irony, humor, and an astute gaze that Richard Prince (b. 1949) exposes consumer society’s imagery. The New-York-based artist has dealt with the visual codes and fictions of US-American popular culture since the 1970s, looking into the mechanisms of authorship, originality, and media representation. He became famous for his legendary series Cowboys, in which re-photographed advertisements for Marlboro cigarettes featuring perspectives different from the original shot turn into critical reflections upon myths, masculinity, and media. With an emphasis on his photographic oeuvre, Prince’s key medium, the ALBERTINA Museum devotes a major exhibition to Richard Prince spanning the period from the 1970s to the present. It showcases iconic series like Fashion, Gangs, and Cowboys, as well as rarely shown and hitherto unseen works— from his ... More

Horáková / Maurer, Atelier/infrarot, 2000, analoger Abzug, Ilfochrome Classic, 71,5 x 92,5 cm.
SALZBURG.- The work of Tamara Horáková and Ewald Maurer exemplifies the developments that led to the establishment of photography as an artistic medium in the 1980s. Their early work is characterized by large-format canvases coated with Liquid Light, site-specific installations, and a media-critical reflection on political events. Central to their practice are contributions to conceptual and abstract photography, to the theoretical discourse on the “basics” of the medium, and to interpretations of the digital and analog specificities of imaging processes. Their extensive and materially “opulent” oeuvre (Werner Fenz) has received numerous awards and has been widely exhibited, published, and collected. At Fotohof, Horáková and Maurer take us in large strides through the history of the medium: from Daguerre’s shoes to the era of high-tech laboratories shortly before their collapse, all the way to the look of the apps into which photography has shifted. 468 ...

Armig Santos, Balada celestial (Shadow Boxing at the Beach). Oil on canvas, 24 × 20 inches (61 × 50.8 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- Lévy Gorvy Dayan is presenting the gallery’s first solo exhibition Baladas with Puerto Rican artist Armig Santos. The exhibition debuts a series of canvases that explore the artist’s personal and pastoral relationship to the islands of Puerto Rico, drawing upon historical, archival, and ecological sources of inspiration. With the exhibition’s title, Santos nods to José Luis González’s 1978 novel Balada de otro tiempo (Ballad of Another Time), which remains a significant representation of traditional farming—or campesino—culture in Puerto Rico. Remarking on his new body of work, Santos states, “Every painting is a ballad to Puerto Rico in its own way. The works are reminders of the past but also a way to understand what is happening now.” History infuses Santos’s paintings in myriad ways—from colonial references to romantic portrayals of Puerto Rico’s heritage. In creating his works, the artist traverses the geography of his homelan ... More
“¡Puro Ritmo! The Musical Journey of Salsa” Will Premiere in the Museum’s Temporary Exhibition Space at the National Museum of American History
WASHINGTON, DC.- The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino opened “¡Puro Ritmo! The Musical Journey of Salsa” Saturday, April 18, in the Molina Family Latino Gallery at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Presented in English and Spanish, the multimedia exhibition explores the rhythm, movement and shared heritage of salsa music in the United States. Spanning four thematic sections and featuring nearly 300 objects, “Puro Ritmo” traces salsa’s roots from the dance halls of Havana to the clubs of New York City, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and beyond. The exhibition situates salsa within major moments in U.S. history, including Caribbean migration, the evolution of jazz and the influence of Afro-Cuban rhythms on rock ’n’ roll, disco and house music. “‘Puro Ritmo” tells a vital chapter of the American experience that has been ...

Mounir Eddib, Rest, Floor, Home, 2026.
AMSTERDAM.- In Mounir Eddib’s first solo exhibition in the Netherlands, Little Ghetto Boy, the artist reimagines his own lived experience of growing up in a working-class neighborhood in the former coal-mining town of Genk (Limburg, Belgium). Inspired as a young boy by rappers such as Tupac, he now reworks these transatlantic cultural influences within his artistic practice. Little Ghetto Boy is the title of a single by American soul legend Donny Hathaway (1945–1979). Hathaway powerfully evokes what it means to grow up in “a ghetto,” a poor and often stigmatized area in which minority communities are concentrated due to broader societal pressures. He sings about the hardships of such environments, but also about self-belief, resistance, and the possibility of change: “Everything has got to get better.” Drawing on the writings of Black radical feminist bell hooks, the Little Ghetto Boy exhibition seeks to bring the daily lives of descendants of people who migrated to w ...

SANTA ROSA, CA.- The Museum of Sonoma County is presenting Disturbing The Peace: Sonoma County’s Early Punk Underground, on view April 18–August 23, 2026. The first-of-its-kind exhibition chronicles the premillenium punk scene in Sonoma County, and its bands, zines, artists, venues and DIY principles that continue to reverberate today. Disturbing The Peace spans 1970s punk’s reaction to disco, 1980s hardcore’s rejection of Reaganomics, and the expansion of the punk ethos into 1990s musical genres like emo, pop-punk, ska and indie rock. The exhibit features local punk flyers, vintage photographs, listening stations, photocopied zines, archival video, records, T-shirts, stickers, musical instruments and handmade cassettes. Together, they tell the story of a vibrant youth culture that — beneath all the screaming and stagediving — dared to imagine a better world. The early punk scene in Sonoma ... More

New art format transforms Milan's transition architectures into temporary research sites MILAN.- A building in its final act paves the way for a project that restores a voice to architectures in transition, transforming them into temporary sites of artistic research, emerging creativity, and unexpected practices. Marking the opening of the YES, BUT format, its debut at Milano Art Week 2026 takes place as the inaugural collective exhibition within the spaces of SARCA183, in the Bicocca district. Four international artists—Morgane Tschiember, Florencia S.M. Brück, Aaron Nachtailer, and Rocco Plessi—are called to interpret, through profoundly different languages, the final testimonies of an architecture in waiting, giving voice to what the space guards in silence. Accompanying the visitor is the narrative of Stefano Pirovano. Aaron Nachtailer, the creator of the format, intervenes with Listening Stone: a circular assembly of anthropomorphic stone figures that transforms ... More

Mind the gap: Berlin's Ostkreuz School explores the creative power of the in-between BERLIN.- The present is brittle. It manifests itself not as a closed, linear narrative but as an organism of transitions, shifts, and gaps—simultaneously overlapping, intert-wining, and loosely woven together. The exhibition Mind the Gap is concerned with the spaces in between: between that which has become obsolete and that which has not yet arrived, between the familiar and the uncertainty or doubt, between what is visible and what remains elusive. Mind the Gap brings together fifteen positions that examine areas of tension and processes of transformation. They focus on fragments, transitions, uphea-vals, and the kind of approximation that reveals itself in radical change. The series address key social and personal themes: violence and its traces, experiences of borders and fleeing, fragmented family biographies, humankind’s relationship to nature, gender ... More
National Museum of Asian Art presents paintings From India's Himalayan kingdoms in new exhibition WASHINGTON, DC.- The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art has opened “Of the Hills: Pahari Paintings from India’s Himalayan Kingdoms,” on view from April 18, 2026, through July 26, 2026. Juxtaposing canonical masterpieces and never-before-seen works, the exhibition’s 48 paintings and colored drawings reveal the ingenuity of artists who drew from both local and transregional traditions. For centuries, scores of small Hindu kingdoms dotted the region where the tallest mountains on Earth rose from the plains of north India. Around 1630, their rulers began commissioning paintings that proved extraordinary—some with intricate details, delicate shading and naturalistic figures; others vivid, glittering and stylized. “These paintings are swoon-worthy,” said Debra Diamond, the Elizabeth Moynihan Curator for South and Southeast Asian Art. “Created ...

Lindsay Adams makes her New York solo debut at Sean Kelly NEW YORK, NY.- Sean Kelly is presenting SOIL, Lindsay Adams’s second exhibition with the gallery and her New York solo debut. This new body of work delves into Adams’s ongoing investigation into how paintings can emerge from a black ground, using darkness, not as absence, but as a generative foundation from which color, gesture, and form unfold. “The sounds of color echo in my dreams. It is the magic I cannot quite explain. The alchemic decisions of line and mark are always connected by color, it is the beginning and end. Colors float through my mind, across time and dimension, where I think of my grandmother, Carrie Blue’s, pink peony tree that sat outside of her window, or the green and white house tucked between the mountains of Bedford, Virginia, where I played with cousins on Easter Sunday. I can feel the dark brown coffee that is labeled as black, ... More
Beyond the bloom: Eleven artists explore the 'season of becoming' at the Romanian Cultural Institute NEW YORK, NY.- Envisioned as an intercultural dialogue between Romania, Japan, and New York, and presented by the Romanian Cultural Institute New York, the exhibition brings together eleven distinct artistic visions that reflect upon and celebrate the seasonal transformation of nature, embodied in the symbolic blossoming of the cherry tree. Here, sakura—translated from Japanese as “cherry blossom” or “cherry tree”—transcends its botanical meaning to become a powerful social and cultural phenomenon. Native to the Japanese archipelago, cherry trees have long been cultivated and revered, and since the Heian period (794- 1185AD), the cherry blossom—together with the chrysanthemum—has come to represent Japan’s cultural and spiritual identity. Each spring, communities gather beneath the flowering trees in a collective gesture of admiration and reflection. ... More
Super modern things: Sebastiaan Bremer's psychedelic spin on Dutch floral masters NEW YORK, NY.- Edwynn Houk Gallery is presenting Super Modern Things, an exhibition of new works by Sebastiaan Bremer. The artworks — which combine photography and painting — continue the artist's long-standing exploration of flowers and the layered histories and concerns embedded in still lifes, including questions of beauty, mortality, value, ecology, and global exchange. Each artwork begins with a historical source image, from seventeenth-century Dutch botanical catalogues or Golden Age still life paintings. Bremer photographs these reproductions, bringing their layered histories into new focus: global trade, speculation, mortality, and the long symbolic life of the flower. From there, he draws and paints in ink and acrylic — dots, lines, stains, and washes of pigment, each mark both intentional and intuitive. Together, they form rhythms across ... More

On a day like today, Italian painter Paolo Veronese died
April 19, 1588. Paolo Caliari (1528 - 19 April 1588), known as Paolo Veronese, was an Italian Renaissance painter based in Venice, known for extremely large history paintings of religion and mythology, such as The Wedding at Cana (1563) and The Feast in the House of Levi (1573). Included with Titian, a generation older, and Tintoretto, a decade senior, Veronese is one of the "great trio that dominated Venetian painting of the cinquecento" and the Late Renaissance in the 16th century.
