MEXICO CITY.- When archaeologists discovered an ancient Maya settlement hidden in the forests of Campeche earlier this year, reaching it had been so difficult that they gave it a name reflecting their experience: Minanbé, meaning "there is no road." Now, just months after the discovery, researchers believe they may have uncovered what its inhabitants actually called it more than a thousand years ago. The name is Sakil, a Maya word associated with whiteness. Although the reading remains a proposal, inscriptions found at Minanbé and another archaeological site approximately 40 kilometers away are providing new clues about the settlement's identity, its rulers and its place within the political landscape of the ancient Maya world. The findings were announced by Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) on November 9, 2026, following research presented by epigrapher Octavio Esparza Olguín of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Beyond the possible identification of a ... More
Per Kirkeby, Untitled, 2012. Oil on linen, 78 3/4 x 78 3/4 inches (200 x 200 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- VeneKlasen, New York presents Per Kirkeby: Shadows to the Feast, an exhibition bringing together major late paintings from the career of Per Kirkeby (b. 1938, d. 2018), alongside bronze sculptures. The exhibition takes its title from Kirkeby’s 1981 essay The Continued Text, in which the artist reflects on Anselm Feuerbach’s painting of Plato’s Symposium. Imagining the ancient banquet illuminated by oil lamps, Kirkeby writes, “The oil lamps are lit, the light flickers and licks over the marbled walls. Shadows to the feast.” Kirkeby returns to this relationship between light and shadow in the essay, describing the European pictorial tradition as “a clair-obscur painting, with the light decided by shadows.” The interplay between illumination and darkness became an increasingly important concern for Kirkeby in the early 1980s, shaping his approach to painting for the remainder of his career. His emphasis on the role of shadow is particularly evident in th ... More

The pioneering art world executive was a driving force behind Artnet's commercial success, transforming it from an internet upstart into a global art market institution.
NEW YORK, NY.- After nearly three decades at Artnet, Bill Fine is moving on, marking the end of an era for one of the art world's most influential online platforms. A legendary advertising executive, consummate salesman, and pioneering figure in the art world's transition to the internet, Fine played a central, if often understated, role in building Artnet into an international art market powerhouse. Joining Artnet in the 1990s, when the internet was still largely uncharted territory for the art world, Fine helped transform an ambitious digital experiment into a viable commercial enterprise. At a time when many established galleries and dealers remained skeptical of the internet, Fine's persuasive abilities and extensive relationships helped bring them into the digital age. His credentials were formidable. Before Artnet, Fine held senior advertising positions at Esquire, The New ... More
Lucio Fontana, Concetto spaziale, Attesa, 1968, water-based paint on canvas, 81 x 65 cm (31,96 x 25,59 in), Courtesy Fondazione Lucio Fontana Milano. SIAE 2026. Video Tornabuoni Art.
MILAN.- On Tuesday 10 November 2026, Tornabuoni Art reopened its Milan gallery, enlarged and fully renovated, with the exhibition Lucio Fontana. "Che splendida giornata…", curated by Luca Massimo Barbero, which runs until 23 January 2027 and brings together thirty works by the artist. The gallery at via Fatebenefratelli 36 is doubling its exhibition space: a deliberate strategic choice and a renewed vote of confidence in Milan. This new chapter opens with Lucio Fontana, the artist who, more than any other, helped make Tornabuoni Art one of the leading international centres for contemporary art, and whose work remains deeply bound up with the gallery's history. "In the early 2000s, the response to the globalisation of the art market was to open new venues around the world," say Ursula and Michele Casamonti. "Today we favour a different model: galleries plan exhibitions and projects, including abroad, from their own spaces, which become genuine centres of ... More
PARIS.- On November 9, 2026, to mark the opening of Paris Photo week, the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation hosted the fourth edition of its Gala at the Atelier des Lumières, in collaboration with Culturespaces. In a festive atmosphere, this event brought together leading figures from the world of photography. Echoing the Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibition currently on view at the Caumont-Centre d'Art in Aix-en-Provence, an immersive visual installation set to music by CHLOÉ transported guests into the world of Les Européens. Published in 1955 by Verve and featuring a cover designed by Joan Miró, this iconic book was reissued in 2026. Through the faces, gestures, and traditions captured during his travels, the photographer paints a portrait of a diverse Europe in the midst of profound change. The exhibition at Caumont-Centre d'Art brings together more than 200 photographs, some of which have rarely been shown, and runs through ... More
Merete Rasmussen, Circumvolution, 2026. Ceramic with coloured slip, 64 x 70 x 22 cm. Unique. Photo: Steve Russell Studios.
LONDON.- Pangolin London opened the highly anticipated solo exhibition of new sculptural ceramics by Danish artist Merete Rasmussen. Whilst nature has been a constant source of inspiration, from the abundant garden of her childhood in Sweden, to the sculptural sand dunes of Namibia where she travelled during her studies, this new body of work, produced over the last two years, reflects a renewed engagement with her own garden in East Sussex. Working with ambitious scale and complexity, Rasmussen hand-builds each unique sculpture using the coil technique before carefully paring back the hardened clay, a process that allows her to construct structures without a discernible beginning and end. Akin to the cultivation of the soil, sowing of seeds and propagation of cuttings, the process demands patience and a deep knowledge acquired from experience over time. Continuing her use of distinct, singular colours, applied between firings by painting or spraying onto the ceramic surface, she uses the inter ... More
Historic prints from the artist's Tokyo archive reveal imaginary architectural worlds shaped by memory, experimentation and the changing urban landscape of Japan.
LONDON.- White Cube is presenting Minoru Nomata: Lithographs 1988–1998, an online exhibition devoted to a remarkable group of hand-coloured prints by the Japanese artist, whose enigmatic architectural landscapes have occupied a distinctive place in contemporary painting for more than four decades. Running from November 10, 2026, through February 2, 2027, the exhibition brings renewed attention to works produced between 1988 and 1998 and preserved for years in the artist's Tokyo archive. Born in Tokyo in 1955, Nomata has developed a visual language centered on imaginary buildings, monumental structures and landscapes that appear simultaneously familiar and impossible. His compositions frequently depict towers, windmills, pavilions, conservatories and other architectural forms rising from empty surroundings. ... More

Diambe, Círculo cromático, 2026.
MILAN.- One beautiful day… we are insects is a title that evokes the epilogue of a fairy tale, in which the transfiguration of human beings is usually understood as a punitive and temporary “impairment” (think of the prince transformed into a toad), whereas in Diambe’s vision, metamorphosis is not a misfortune, but an awakening of consciousness; perhaps the desire to abandon an anthropocentric ethos to pursue the anima mundi through all its creatures. It is an invitation to wake up de-monumentalized, fluid, collective, and organically connected to matter and the earth. According to the founding myth of Rome, before drawing the main axes of the urban plan, Romulus dug a circular pit on the Palatine Hill and called it the mundus. Into it, every citizen threw a handful of earth and the first fruits brought from their homeland. A heavy door covered the pit and opened only three times a year; on those occasions, the world of the living swung open to that of the ... More
erika roessing, Pigeon and Fish, 1958. Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz, Donation Erika and Karl Rössing.
LINZ.- Lentos presents a major solo exhibition devoted to the painter erika roessing in Linz. Around 100 paintings reveal a rigorously developed body of work dedicated to still life. Birds, fruit, baskets, pitchers, and vases appear in ever-changing arrangements, combining with geometric ornament to create quietly poetic, sometimes melancholic pictorial spaces. roessing's Œuvre, documented in her notebooks, comprises about 180 still lifes. Working primarily in tempera on hardboard, she developed a muted palette, textured surfaces, and carefully balanced compositions. What initially appears calm and familiar often proves enigmatic and unexpectedly surreal on closer inspection: objects float, fragment, or dissolve into ornamental structures. At the heart of the retrospective is a gift of 50 tempera paintings from the estate of the artist, who died in 1977, made in 1979 to the Neue Galerie der Stadt Linz, the predecessor of Lentos. Works from the collection are complemented ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Marian Goodman Gallery presents a solo exhibition by Nairy Baghramian. On view are recent works, which were first presented in an exhibition at WIELS, Belgium in late 2025 and that will be shown in the United States for the first time. Examining the forces that shape the displacement and precarity of sculpture in times of crisis, this exhibition by Baghramian instigates liminal spaces between erasure and emergence that allow artworks to exist aside from, or even beyond, the languages, codes, and names that assign meaning and ascribe identities. By doing so she draws inspiration from decades of observation and encounters with works produced by avant-garde artists who, because of their uncompromising attitude, were exiled from fascism and autocratic regimes in 1930s Europe. While displaced, disoriented and deprived of ateliers, tools, ... More

Costantino Nivola's transatlantic modernism explored in major Triennale Milano exhibition MILAN.- Triennale Milano presents the exhibition Costantino Nivola. Costantino Nivola. Sculpting the Wind curated by Cecilia Alemani and with the exhibition design by Alessandro Floris, from November 11, 2026, to February 14, 2027. The show explores the artistic practice of Costantino Nivola (Orani, Nuoro 1911–Long Island, New York, 1988), a leading light of transatlantic modernism who tirelessly engaged in a dialogue between the arts. Nivola’s training in Sardinia and at the ISIA – Istituto Superiore per le Industrie Artistiche in Monza, and he participated, in 1936, in the 6th Triennale of Giuseppe Pagano, with the fresco Si costruiscono le città (1935).

Liverpool Biennial introduces 14th edition The Age of Magical Thinking LIVERPOOL.- Liverpool Biennial reveals the title and participating artists for its 14th edition, The Age of Magical Thinking. The Biennial is curated by Aimee Harrison and Lucía Sanromán and will run between June 5 and September 19, 2027. The Age of Magical Thinking explores the universally shared experience of childhood and youth as a time marked by change. Childhood involves experiencing the uncertainty of the present as a transition—an invitation towards the yet-to-be. The exhibition brings together artists who invite immersion in the present as an antidote to our catastrophic world, and artworks that create critical alternatives, and sometimes fantastical realities, as escape routes from a dystopic future. The exhibition references psychologist Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, describing how children make sense of the world, ... More
David Kordansky Gallery announces representation of Aaron Gilbert NEW YORK, NY.- David Kordansky Gallery announced the representation of Aaron Gilbert in collaboration with Gladstone. The artist will be featured in the gallery’s upcoming presentation at Art Basel Miami Beach this December. Aaron Gilbert’s paintings depict fleeting domestic moments and intimate, ordinary gestures as powerful installments in the sweeping continuum of human life. In portraits and tableaux alike, Gilbert’s scenes demonstrate our enduring capacity for love, connection, and care, even in the face of cruel historical forces. As if bearing the weight of the world—or the pressures of late capitalism—on their shoulders, his figures are at once particular people and sacred archetypes, capable of transiting multiple realities simultaneously. Scenes firmly rooted in the material world seem to hover within a larger cosmological story, one Gilbert makes visible ... More
Brandon D. Landers joins Regen Projects SANTA MONICA, CA.- Regen Projects announced representation of Los Angeles-based painter Brandon D. Landers. The artist will present his first solo exhibition with the gallery in January 2027. Working in the genre of figurative portraiture, Landers centers the quotidian lives of his friends, family, and the broader community, depicting the complexity and depth of lived experience with striking intimacy. Rendering his subjects in sumptuous layers of yellows, browns, blacks, reds, blues, and greens, Landers evokes the richness of Black cultural production through oil paint intuitively applied with a palette knife onto canvases he stretches by hand. The patchwork effect of the thick paint operates in tandem with compositions that merge familiar memory and imagined elements, materializing a universe where everyday reality is infused with possibility. Landers portrays ... More
Gazelli Art House New York presents Harold Cohen's pre-AI abstract paintings NEW YORK, NY.- Gazelli Art House presents Harold Cohen: Painting About Representation (1962–71), the first solo exhibition of Harold Cohen (1928–2016) at the gallery’s New York location. Bringing together a selection of works from a transformative decade in the artist’s career, the exhibition revisits Cohen’s remarkable achievements as a painter before his pioneering work with computers. From the ambitious abstract canvases that established his international reputation to the increasingly systematic investigations of his later paintings, the exhibition reveals how his enduring fascination with representation laid the intellectual foundations for AARON, one of the earliest and most influential artificial intelligence art-making systems. Best known today as a pioneer of computer-generated art, Cohen was already an internationally recognized painter when he began experimenting with programming in the late 1960s. His transition from canvas to computer was neither an abrupt depart ... More

9th Yokohama Triennale explores oceanic folklore, communication history, and AI YOKOHAMA.- The Organizing Committee for Yokohama Triennale announces the concept of the 9th Yokohama Triennale, conceived by the Artistic Directors Cosmin Costinaș and Inti Guerrero. This edition begins with two biological phenomena and figures of the ocean, which are also alluded to in Japanese folk tales. The oarfish, a creature of the deep, is known in Japan as the messenger from Ryūgū, the dragon palace at the bottom of the sea. When it rises to the surface, it has long been seen as foretelling impending disasters. Once a whale dies, its body moves in the opposite direction, sinking to the ocean floor and becoming the origin of an entire ecosystem that nourishes life for many generations to come. A whale fall. In a contemporary world that appears to be sinking under the weight of various crises, this transformation, which sees death as a beginning ... More
Stack's Bowers Galleries to auction rare 1885 Trade Dollar COSTA MESA, CA.- The Book of Ecclesiastes famously said “there is nothing new under the sun.” The French have a famous axiom that translates to “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” In 1885, a powerful political appointee named A. Loudon Snowden retired, ending a decades-long career at the United States Mint in Philadelphia that saw him relentlessly use his position for personal gain. His career began when his uncle — the former speaker of the Pennsylvania State House and Treasurer of Pennsylvania — gave him a job at age 22, fresh out of college. Over the decades that followed, Snowden oversaw the off-the-books production of thousands of delicacies for coin collectors, enriching himself and others in the process. On the way out the door, he oversaw the production of exactly five “Trade Dollars” dated 1885. Documents are silent ... More

On a day like today, English painter, illustrator, and critic William Hogarth was born
November 10, 2026. William Hogarth (10 November 1697 - 26 October 1764) was an English painter, engraver, cartoonist, and satirist. His work ranges from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects", and he is perhaps best known for his series A Harlot's Progress, A Rake's Progress and Marriage A-la-Mode. Familiarity with his work is so widespread that satirical political illustrations in this style are often referred to as "Hogarthian". In this image: William Hogarth, "Night," 1738. Etching.
