Fijian artists; interior Viti Levu. Masi kesa (bark cloth panels). Mid–late 19th century. Bark cloth, pigment. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Gift of Adelaide and Edmund Carpenter, 1990 (1990.333.9, .10)
NEW YORK, NY.- At the heart of cultural and political diplomacy in the islands of Polynesia are vibrant bark cloth textiles, known as tapa that signify status and play a central role at all major ceremonial events. Known locally as masi, siapo, or hiapo the cloth is produced from the softened inner bark of trees, and is characterized by its unique materiality and the dynamic geometric designs that are painted, stamped, or stenciled onto its surface. Part of a textile tradition developed in the islands of Southeast Asia over 3,500 years ago, the transformation of individual strips of fiber into an entirely new surface evokes the reproductive potential of land (vanua; fanua), encapsulating its abundance and agency. Tapa: Art of the Gift in Polynesia will bring together 13 impressive works from the islands of Fiji, Samoa, Futuna, and Niue, highlighting spectacular, supple, and finely produced examples of bark cloth from The Met collection in addition to sculpted works and an exceptional hiapo on loan fr ...

Walton Ford. Dog Song Hardcover, 9.1 x 12.0 in., 1.81 lb, 108 pages ISBN 978-3-7544-0680-9
NEW YORK, NY.- Exquisitely drawn and joyfully off the leash, Dog Song follows two musical hounds searching for inspiration for their next album, but driven by very different instincts. David is orderly, bookish, contemplative; Jimmy is altogether more appetite-led. David sniffs out bookshops, while Jimmy prowls parks, backstreets, and the shadowy corners of Berlin’s canine underworld. What unfolds is a picaresque tale of misadventure that’s by turns scrappy and sharp. Join their quest for the perfect filing cabinet, a run-in with guards at the Berlin Wall, and some very ill-advised drinking. Authored and exquisitely illustrated by celebrated artist Walton Ford, it takes place in a pre-unification Berlin that’s evoked with operatic flair and cinematic intensity. Known for his large-scale watercolors that often explore violence, predation, colonial exploitation, and psychological tension, Ford draws on the precise visual language of 19th-century naturalists like John ...

Full first page of a stenographic version of Theodore Roosevelt's Milwaukee, Wisconsin, speech of Oct. 14, 1912.
WASHINGTON, DC.- The Library of Congress has acquired a bound volume containing 15 tipped-in pages of a stenographic version of Theodore Roosevelt's Milwaukee, Wisconsin, speech of Oct. 14, 1912. The pages record the speech Roosevelt delivered from the auditorium stage after receiving a gunshot wound from attempted assassin John Schrank outside the Gilpatrick Hotel. This copy of Elbert Martin's typed stenographic version of Roosevelt's speech contains numerous penciled emendations and alterations to the text made by Roosevelt himself. When Roosevelt made the changes, and for what purpose or publication, are not currently known. (The holes that are visible on the first two pages of the document are unrelated to the assassination attempt and are not bullet holes.) Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) was a former U.S. president and then-presidential candidate. Elbert E. Martin (1881-1956) served as Roosevelt's ... More

PARIS.- Jeanne Bucher Jaeger presents Garden of love, an exhibition inspired by Guillaume Logé's book of the same title, and curated by its author. For more than a century, the gallery's identity has naturally resonated with this theme, as reflected in its longstanding commitment to artists whose creative practice is guided by universal, social, environmental, and humanistic values. These are artists who work with the forces of nature, weaving together humanity, history, memory, the cycle of the seasons, the immemorial, and the present day. Spanning from ancient arts to contemporary creation, the exhibition brings together works from different periods in a dialogue centered on nature and love. What if love were to reinvent itself by opening up to nature? ... More
COLOGNE.- Zander Galerie opened the exhibition Between by Candida Höfer, one of Germany’s foremost contemporary artists and a leading figure of the Düsseldorf School of Photography. Bringing together colour photographs from 1983 to 2021 that focus on spatial situations of transition, the exhibition has been conceived specifically for the gallery’s spaces in Cologne. Attentive to the inner structures they portray, the works sharpen the viewer’s perception of space and, in turn, heighten awareness of the interior surroundings in which they are shown. This is Höfer’s fifth exhibition with the gallery, following her most recent presentation, Lumière, at Zander Galerie Paris. The title can be read in more than one way, and the exhibition invites visitors to find their own. Those who step into the gallery will discover that Between begins at once, without preamble. It is a beginning best experienced in person. Composition and palette ... More

SALZBURG.- Thaddaeus Ropac Salzburg presents an exhibition by German artist Marc Brandenburg, bringing together several series, including new works created in 2025 for the Berlinische Galerie. The Berlin-based artist is known for his highly detailed pencil drawings, in which he documents everyday urban life whilst subtly alluding to the crises of our time. The silvery, reflective quality of the graphite lends an otherworldly quality to the everyday motifs – like negatives of snapshots from a strange parallel world. His creative process always begins with photographs, which he takes himself during nocturnal city walks or sources from magazines and other media. The inversion of light and dark – a signature technique Brandenburg introduced in the 1990s – continues to characterise his work today. This visual idiom, reminiscent of analogue photographic negatives, lends the depicted motifs a ghostly, anonymised quality. The exhibition’s title refers to the controversial high-rise pr ... More

MUNICH.- A monumental painting by Peter Doig and an important early abstraction by Pierre Soulages will lead Ketterer Kunst's Evening Sale on December 4, 2026, in Munich, bringing together 60 works spanning modern and contemporary art. With estimates reaching €2.5 million, the auction presents an international selection of paintings and works on paper by artists including Marc Chagall, Max Beckmann, Lyonel Feininger, Pablo Picasso, and Alexej von Jawlensky. The sale's highest-valued work is Peter Doig's By a River (2004), an atmospheric oil painting estimated at €1.5 million to €2.5 million ($1.68 million to $2.8 million). Measuring 200 by 186 centimeters, the composition belongs to a significant period in the Scottish-born artist's career, when his experiences in Trinidad became increasingly important to his distinctive approach to figurative painting. Created four years after Doig settled in Trinidad, By a River depicts an enigmatic, solitary figure wearing a flowing ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Rashid Johnson presents an exhibition of new work that considers the complex relationship between fathers and sons. Including five new mosaic works, a group of suspended sculptural figures known as the "Exhausted Figures" and one new film, "Birthday Boys" (2026), the presentation explores tensions between the fundamental imperatives of intimacy and independence, inheritance and self-determination, considering what it means to recognize another person as separate from oneself, even when that person shares one's history, gestures and features. In the film, Johnson draws on the idea of mirroring to reflect on the shifting relationship between father and son over time, particularly as a child moves into adolescence and increasingly asserts his own identity and prerogatives. The title carries a personal significance for Johnson, who shares his birthday with ... More
SÃO PAULO.- A Gentil Carioca is presenting Dança para montanhas, by Diego Kohli, marking his first exhibition in Brazil. Through drawings and paintings, hands and feet dance across landscapes where body and world merge, moving between dream and everyday life. Following his first artist residency in Brazil, at Casa VOA, Kohli incorporates Rio de Janeiro’s landscape into a universe of incomplete bodies in constant transformation. Through drawing and painting, the artist explores the relationships between figure and ground, expression and representation, creating scenes in which the familiar becomes strange and the landscape reveals itself as an integral part of the experience of being in the world. Diego Kohli (b. 1991) lives and works between Basel, Switzerland, and Madrid, Spain. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the École de design et Haute école d’art du Valais in Switzerland, as well as master’s degrees in Artistic Production from the Universitat Politècnica de València in Sp ...

NEW YORK, NY.- CLAMP is presenting “Studio Nudes,” an extensive group exhibition exploring artists' use of live models in their work from the 1940s to the present. Bringing together an array of photography, drawing, and painting, the show investigates how modern and contemporary practitioners challenge, amend, and reframe classical artistic traditions. The history of the studio nude in art spans from ancient academic practices to the current day. In Ancient Greece, the male nude was celebrated through athletics and sculpture, representing civic glory, heroism, and divine perfection. Conversely, during the Middle Ages, nudity was largely restricted and tied to theological concepts of shame, sin, vulnerability, or Last Judgment scenes. The Renaissance revived classical proportions, bringing male and female models back into the studio—though public display of the artworks required mythological, historical, or religious disguises to remain socially acceptable. By the 17th and 18th centurie ... More
OSNABRÜCK.- In her work, Andrea Pichl combines art and research. She explores how spaces and people’s lives influence one another. In her artworks, the artist often focuses on historic buildings and standardised building components. [‘Standardised’ here means: the building components were always the same. They were used in many different buildings.] For Andrea Pichl, they tell the story of the political and economic developments of their time. They bear the traces of history. At the Kunsthalle Osnabrück, Andrea Pichl is presenting an exhibition to mark the 40th anniversary of the planetarium at the Osnabrück Natural History Museum. The planetarium’s dome was built by the civil engineering firm of Ulrich Müther from Rügen in the former GDR, with construction managed by architect Gertrud Schille. The dome is a shell structure, a type of construction for which the firm became known from the 1960s onwards, both in the GDR and beyond. Its concrete components support ... More

Ping Zheng explores time, nature, and memory in new series of works on paper at Kristen Lorello NEW YORK, NY.- Kristen Lorello is presenting ‘Light Hour,’ Ping Zheng’s seventh solo exhibition at the gallery. New paintings on paper in the artist’s signature medium of oil stick on paper mark an exciting moment in the Chinese-born, New York-based artist’s technical and stylistic development. In her new works that blend naturalism, landscape, and pattern, Zheng delves further into the exploration of landscape as an intensely personal, spiritual space. Ping Zheng’s visions of swirling rivers, reflected pools, and mountains opening to luminous orbs capture, meditate, and transport the viewer. She translates her own free, joyful and tranquil experiences of nature into spiritual propositions that all are invited to share. Having lived in various continents and participated in a variety of artist residencies in China, Europe, and the United Sates, Zheng embraces ... More

Titled Earth Craft, the exhibition explores the relationship between American architecture, the land from which it emerges, and the people who shape it. It traces earthen materials from the ground to the finished building and honors the communities of brickmakers, masons, and earth builders who turned local soil into the foundations of public and private life. Earth Craft was conceived by Germane Barnes, Associate Professor and Director of the Master of Architecture Graduate ... More

Sara Cwynar uses film, collage, and nineteenth-century automata to trace the roots of the AI economy BERLIN.- Elephant, a project by Sara Cwynar, on the occasion of the artist's residency at the American Academy in Berlin. On view will be new videos, photographs and a drawing. Cwynar's films and photographs employ a mix of analogue collage, digital modifications and cinematic techniques to create works with a distinct aesthetic, a dense mix of historical references, found images, and traces of contemporary image worlds. Her process includes photographs that are themselves photographed, arranged in real life with everyday objects, re-photographed and filmed or put into motion. The effect closely resembles a kind of visual free association floating in your head—what thought can feel like. For her presentation at the gallery, she draws on a project concerning automatons. A small elephant from the late 19th century recurs as symbolic presence. ... More
parrasch heijnen pairs Amy Lincoln and Craig Kauffman in dual exhibition LOS ANGELES, CA.- parrasch heijnen is presenting Craig Kauffman / Amy Lincoln, an exhibition pairing new paintings by New York–based artist Amy Lincoln (b. 1981, Bloomington, IN) with select historic sculptures by Craig Kauffman (1932, Los Angeles, CA – 2010, Angeles City, Philippines). This exhibition brings together two artists deeply engaged with the experience of light and matter as they unfold within a spatial and temporal environment. Distinct in dimensionality, material, and process, both Kauffman and Lincoln treat surface not only as a vehicle for image-making, but as an active site where color and perception converge. Amy Lincoln applies chromatic pigment in thin, successive layers across carefully ordered divisions of the pictorial plane. Color accumulates gradually, producing subtle tonal shifts and a luminosity that appears to emanate ... More

National Museum of American History explores the history and disparities of American healthcare WASHINGTON, DC.- The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History opened “First Do No Harm,” an exhibition that explores science, medical practice, public health and how practitioners, inventors, patients and communities have shaped healthcare in the United States. Featuring stories about efforts to reduce suffering, extend lives and provide better healthcare for all, the exhibition opened to the public Friday, Nov. 6, and will be on view for about three years. Inspired by the ancient charge to “first, do no harm,” healthcare practitioners have advanced medicine to improve people’s lives and developed cutting-edge technologies that have revolutionized medicine. Not everyone, however, has benefited equally from medical advances, and some innovations have also raised new challenges and consequences. The core of the exhibition looks ... More

Marc Straus presents 'Hewn in Blue', ceramic sculptures by Josh Cloud NEW YORK, NY.- Marc Straus is presenting Hewn in Blue, an exhibition of new sculptures by Los Angeles-based artist Josh Cloud. The title speaks to the making of a self: who we were, are, or will be, shaped by what happens to us and by our own hand. Cloud builds in ceramic, stacking rounded, organic forms and layering glaze until they read as faces, figures, or something closer to plants and coral. The works are lighthearted, even whimsical, yet they carry material that is not: grief, loss, the weight of history. Floodplain reads as a feline face with pots stacked above it. Some can be read as masks: faces made solid, held between the self and the world. Cloud’s figures begin in a sketchbook as cartoonish self-portraits, then are inflated into rounded, exaggerated volumes that explore identity, queerness, and intimacy: what we present, what we protect, ...

On a day like today, Finnish illustrator Tom of Finland died
November 07, 1991. Touko Valio Laaksonen (8 May 1920 - 7 November 1991), known by his pseudonym Tom of Finland, was a Finnish artist who made stylized erotic art featuring suggestively hypermasculine male characters. He worked primarily in pencil, producing drawings on paper and for publication in a variety of magazines and other formats. These works profoundly influenced late 20th-century gay culture and sexuality, their rise in popularity coinciding with gay law reform successes and the cultural and political emergence of LGBTQ+ communities from the 1960s onward. In this image: Tom of Finland, Untitled (Preparatory Drawing), c. 1980. Graphite on paper, 11 x 8 1/2 inches (27.9 x 21.6 cm) framed: 16 1/2 x 14 x 1 1/2 inches (41.9 x 35.6 x 3.8 cm).
