VENICE.- From November 14, 2026, through March 29, 2027, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection presents Fucina degli Angeli: Peggy Guggenheim and 20th-century Artistic Glass, a comprehensive exhibition that sheds light on one of the most visionary chapters of postwar Murano glass through an in-depth historical analysis of the experiments, collaborations, and relationships that left a mark on the history of twentieth-century art. Organized by Cristina Beltrami, the show traces the creative adventure of the Fucina degli Angeli, founded by Egidio Costantini in the mid-1950s. Peggy Guggenheim’s role is central to this story: she supported Costantini at crucial moments and contributed to the international success of the project—not only by acquiring numerous pieces for her collection, also by broadening Costantini's network to include leading figures in twentieth-century art and proposing an exhibition strategy that benefitted from her extensive experience as a ...

“I don't collect art to dwell in the past. I think it can motivate us to want to live in a better world.” – Ted Turner
NEW YORK, NY.- When the visionary media mogul Ted Turner was asked about his plans for his Montana ranch, he used to say, “I want my lands to look and feel like those,” gesturing to the paintings on his living room walls – awe-inspiring panoramas of the American West in its untouched state by the preeminent landscape artists Albert Bierstadt (1830-1902) and Thomas Moran (1837-1926). On January 20, 2027, Christie's New York will hold a special live evening auction: Trailblazer: Ted Turner's America, presenting approximately 20 exceptional works by Bierstadt and Moran from the private collection of Ted Turner. The top lot is Bierstadt's masterpiece Yosemite Valley (estimate: $4,000,000-6,000,000), which maintained pride of place above the mantle at Turner's famed Flying D Ranch in Montana. Other top lots by Bierstadt include Buffalo at Sunset (estimate $300,000-500,000), a gem-like composition of exceptional quality that depicts the American Bison, an animal beloved by Ted Turner.

PASADENA, CA.- The Norton Simon Museum presents Making History: Manet’s “Execution of Maximilian” from the National Gallery, London. On view from November 13, 2026, through March 1, 2027, the exhibition is centered on Édouard Manet’s The Execution of Maximilian (c. 1867–68), one of the French artist’s most ambitious paintings, made all the more compelling by its now-fragmentary condition. The second of five versions (four paintings and one print) that Manet created, this monumental work depicts the death by firing squad of Austrian archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, the short-lived emperor of Mexico, at the hands of forces loyal to ousted Mexican president Benito Juárez in 1867. The execution—along with that of his generals Tomás Mejía and Miguel Miramón—shocked Europe, where many, including Manet, blamed French emperor Napoleon III, who had enticed Maximilian to take the throne. Despite strict censorship in France, images of the execution and its aftermath circula ... More

BASEL.- Celebrating the expansion of its ensemble throughout 2027, the Fondation Beyelerʼs exhibition programme brings together three major solo exhibitions dedicated to influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries: Frida Kahlo, Louise Bourgeois and Elizabeth Peyton. These exhibitions take place alongside the inaugural exhibition “Constellations", which is already unfolding across the expanded ensemble.

The exhibition will trace Frida Kahloʼs artistic development from the 1920s t ... More

MANNHEIM.- How can an ephemeral moment become art when it vanishes almost as soon as it comes into being? This is the central tension explored in DANCE!, a new exhibition opening at the Kunsthalle Mannheim on November 13. Covering more than 150 years, the exhibition explores how visual artists have drawn inspiration from the ever-changing movements of dance, using them as a starting point for new forms of artistic expression. Conceived by Johan Holten, the Kunsthalle’s former director – who was once a dancer at the Hamburg State Opera– the exhibition explores the dynamic interplay between visual art and choreography. It reveals how artists from the modernist era to the present day have continually reinterpreted the dancing body as an expression of freedom, identity and social change. At its heart lies a timeless question: how can art capture a moment that disappears even as it unfolds? Bringing together works from different periods and across a range of media, ... More
Original portrait reputed to be the only painting for which Michael Jackson personally posed, presented in his presence at the Beverly Hilton in January 1990.
PARIS.- On 26 January 1990, at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, Michael Jackson stood beside his own portrait. Entitled The Book, the painting by Brett-Livingstone Strong depicts the singer dressed in red velvet, holding a closed book in his hands. Its acquisition, reportedly valued at $2.1 million as part of an agreement that also included commercial exploitation rights, made international headlines. At the time, the painting was described in the press as the most expensive portrait of a living person.
More than three decades after that unveiling, Aguttes will offer the original painting at auction. Michael Jackson beyond the stage: Completed in December 1989, following the worldwide success of Bad, The Book grew out of the friendship and artistic collaboration between Jackson and Strong. According to accounts from those close to the singer, it is believed to be the only painted portrait for which Jackson personally sat. ... More
WASHINGTON, DC.- Scientists led by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History have restored the physical reference of one of the most historically significant names in biology. In a paper published today in Taxonomy, researchers designated a new type specimen, or neotype, for Araneus angulatus, the first animal species described using binomial nomenclature, the two-part naming system that scientists use today to identify and classify living organisms. The designation reconnects the name to a physical specimen decades after the original name-bearing spiders disappeared. The button-size spider Araneus angulatus was originally described in 1757 by Swedish arachnologist Carl Alexander Clerck. To support his description, Clerck preserved three A. angulatus spiders that served as “types,” specimens that define what a species name refers to. But sometime between 1858 and 1965, those scientifically invaluable ... More
EDINBURGH.- Opening this weekend, a major exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland sheds new light on the Roman occupation in Scotland, demonstrating how this significant frontier was supplied from across the Empire, and looking at the impacts this occupation had on the local population. Bringing together recent research, significant loans from across Europe and previously unseen archaeological discoveries from Scotland, Roman Scotland: Life on the Edge of Empire tells new stories of Roman occupation and reshapes our understanding of Scotland’s relationship with the Roman world. Central to the exhibition are finds from a 2nd century AD Roman fort at Inveresk in East Lothian, a site whose full significance is revealed in this exhibition. The Antonine Wall was built across the narrowest part of Scotland, with additional forts along the coasts to east and west. Inveresk was one of these and grew to become a major centre with a ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Alisan Fine Arts presents Finding the Balance, Li Hongwei’s first New York City solo exhibition, on view from November 13th, 2026 through December 23rd, 2026.

At the same time, Li embarked on a remarkable exploration of ancient Chinese ceramics, and he began to fuse porcelain with contemporary materials, developing the various series of artworks on view in the current exhibition. One of the artist’s more significant discoveries involves the unpredictable glaze effects that appear in his ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Harmony Korine has developed a wide-ranging practice over the last three decades that spans film, painting, sculpture and fashion, all unified by a distinctive combination of improvisation, humor, repetition, nostalgia and poetry. Moving freely between mediums, Korine continually invents imaginative new visual languages that resist easy categorization. Across his varied oeuvre, each body of work unfolds with its own formal and emotional lexicon. This November, Korine carries his genre-defying worldbuilding into new territory with 'UX LAM' an exhibition of new paintings for his debut with Hauser & Wirth New York. This presentation follows 'Harmony Korine: Perfect Nonsense,' the artist's first US museum survey, presented by the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, in 2026. In a departure from earlier infrared-inspired canvases, Korine approaches these works through a lambent pastel palette and a renewed engagement with the ... More

Frankfurter Kunstverein examines digital propaganda and online subcultures in new exhibition FRANKFURT.- Propaganda in the “post-truth” era is noisy, fast and emotional. Images, memes and codes create a sense of belonging and convey political convictions, often before these become recognisable. Communication strategies in online communities dominate political spheres and have heavily impacted the public debate. Curated by the Frankfurter Kunstverein, the exhibition Propaganda – Flooding the Zone with Shit – It’s About Money, Stupid! examines how propaganda operates under these current conditions, how political convictions take shape and which economic interests influence their dissemination. The seven invited artists have worked intensively on propaganda and online subcultures for years. They gained sharp insight into political affiliations, how emotions are mobilised and how power becomes embedded in technologies ... More
Major exhibition traces Ragtime's journey from Black American roots to the mainstream NEW YORK, NY.- The Morgan Library & Museum presents Ragtime: Cakewalk in Pianoland, an exhibition introducing visitors to one of the first truly global popular-music styles. On view from November 13, 2026, through June 13, 2027, the exhibition follows ragtime's path, from the musical traditions of enslaved Black people to the parlors and saloons of rising industrial centers in nineteenth-century America, and on to the nightclubs and concert halls of the world.

Featuring selections from The John Davis Collection of Early Printed Musical African Americana as its foundation, the exhibition also ... More
Sara-Vide Ericson debuts sixty Arctic-inspired artworks at Stockholm's Liljevalchs STOCKHOLM.- DRIFT begins in the Arctic Ocean, on board the icebreaker Oden, embarking on both an inner and outer expedition. Over six weeks, Sara-Vide Ericson works in a container on deck painting sixty new works, while the ship is breaking through two-metre-thick ice surrounded by a landscape that’s constantly shifting. In 2025, Sara-Vide joins the expedition Canada-Sweden Arctic Ocean in which the icebreaker Oden paves the way through the frozen landscape. The process is both transformative and strenuous, including helicopter excursions onto the ice to gather material for the works emerging on board as well as for the continued work in the artist’s home studio in Hälsingland. DRIFT spans around sixty new works, a story about the human drive meeting the unyielding forces of nature, but also a confrontation with inner ... More
Group exhibition at Van Abbehuis explores wrestling, spectacle, and political staging EINDHOVEN.- For Piledriver, scores of practices are brought together that consider the exhibition an arena. Within its capacity as an ideologically vacuous zone, the actuality of the staged space colludes in adaptive political stances. Anna-Sophie Berger, Oroma Elewa, Julie Falk, Harun Farocki, Lourdes Grobet, Runo Lagomarsino, Twan Lugten, Céline Mathieu, Jacqueline Mesmaeker, Jonathan Monk and Gozié Ojini do not resolve into a fixed position. Kayfabe and spectatorship are kept in the same hold; the crowd enters the square called a ring. Wrestling is the longest standing excuse for an oiled-up pair to clasp in public. From the Greek palaestra to Turkish yağlı güreş, where olive-drenched pehlivans reach for grip onto the rivals leather shorts, intimacy is continually staged as combat. Iran’s zurkhaneh turns it into ritual with drums, Ferdowsi recitations ... More

On a day like today, American painter Benny Andrews was born
November 13, 1930. Benny Andrews (November 13, 1930 - November 10, 2006) was an African-American artist, activist and educator. Born in Plainview, Georgia, Andrews earned a BFA in painting from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1958, and soon after moved to New York. He is known for his expressive, figurative paintings that often incorporated collaged fabric and other material. Andrews helped found the Black Emergency Cultural Coalition, which agitated for greater representation of African-American artists and curators in New York’s major art museums in the late 1960s and 70s. He also led the group in founding an arts education program in prisons and detention centers. In this image: Benny Andrews (1930 - 2006), A Soul, 1974.
