This shared-cost approach enables museums to undertake important projects that might otherwise be postponed due to budget limitations. New applications are currently being accepted via email ... More
Albrecht Altdorfer, A thickly wooded landscape with a rainbow behind the trees and a distant outcrop to the right beneath a cloud-laden sky (estimate £3,000,000 - 5,000,000).
LONDON.- Albrecht Altdorfer is widely considered the first landscape painter in the modern sense. Unlike contemporaries who only used nature as a backdrop for their religious or mythological figures, for Altdorfer the forest was also a rich subject in its own right. "The first independent landscapes in the history of European art were painted by Albrecht Altdorfer" -- Professor Christopher Wood, Academic & Scholar of Altdorfer¹ Until the discovery of this painting earlier this year, only two pure landscape oil paintings by him were known: one in the National Gallery in London and one in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich. The appearance of this thickly wooded landscape, densely painted on a parchment measuring some 23 by 20 centimetres, marks a historic moment. This is the first time a work recognised as by the artist is to be offered on the market since 1980, when Christ ... More

Figure 1 Near Abiquiu, New Mexico I by Georgia O'Keeffe.
NEW YORK, NY.- “Oh, by the way, there's a Georgia O'Keeffe in the closet.” Those words—casually uttered recently by an “extremely private” and “incredibly accomplished” woman to a relative in her Manhattan apartment—led to the rediscovery of a long-lost Georgia O'Keeffe landscape that will now be seen publicly for the first time in at least three decades. Near Abiquiu, New Mexico I (in the region of $3 million), a 1930 O'Keeffe painting depicting the New Mexico landscape that would occupy her artistic imagination for the rest of her storied career, will be presented as part of Christie's 20th Century Evening Sale in New York on November 17. The work will be a highlight of Christie's New York Marquee Week, which includes the collections of Clive Davis, Herbert Lust, Antonio Homem Sonnabend, and others. The public can view the O'Keeffe and all works offered during Marquee Week in a free, public exhibition at Christie's New York at 20 Rockefeller Center from Novem ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- For 'Possible Matter,' her first New York exhibition with Hauser & Wirth, Spanish artist Cristina Iglesias debuts a new immersive dome installation alongside four wall-based sculptures from her new 'Possible Matter' series, exploring the shifting boundaries between the built and natural worlds. With this exhibition, Iglesias brings two strands of an extraordinary practice into captivating dialogue, moving between expansion and erosion, formation and dissolution, the exhibition considers the interplay between natural processes and human invention. At the center of the exhibition is 'Dome' (2026), Iglesias's newest immersive work, following 'Aurora Borealis Star Dome' (2026), a major public commission she recently completed for the Princess Estelle Sculpture Park in Stockholm, Sweden. Measuring five meters (16 feet) across, 'Dome' consists of branch-like cast-aluminum arms that gradually ... More
Archaeological remains discovered during salvage excavations for the Mexico City–Querétaro passenger train near the Buenavista terminal in Mexico City. The deposit may date to the Late Postclassic period or the early years of Spanish contact. Photo: Gerardo Peña / INAH.
MEXICO CITY.- Archaeologists working along the route of the Mexico City–Querétaro passenger railway have uncovered a possible ancient ossuary containing human remains, ceramics and stone artifacts near the Buenavista terminal, in a discovery that could shed new light on burial practices during one of the most transformative periods in Mexican history. The discovery, announced by Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), includes nine sets of human skeletal remains, five mandibles and a variety of other bones, some of which show evidence of intentional cranial modification. Associated objects suggest that the deposit may date to the Late Postclassic period (1200–1519 CE) or the early years of contact between Indigenous communities and Spanish conquerors (1519–1535 CE). The find is particularly significant because it was made within ... More
PARIS.- Tonight, the first of five auctions taking place this week brought the eclectic world of His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Abdullah Al Thani's Avenue Floquet residence to the saleroom, with collectors responding enthusiastically to the extraordinary range of works assembled the extraordinary range of works assembled to decorate this storied hôtel particulier. 100% sold, the sale realised €7.3 million / $8.1 million, well above its pre-sale estimate of €3.7-5.6 million. The remarkable breadth of the collection was reflected in strong bidding across centuries and categories, from antiquities and Old Master portraiture to Dutch Delft, silver and European furniture, with as much as 60% of lots selling above their high estimates. "The response tonight speaks to what made Avenue Floquet so special: an exceptional eye for quality, an instinct for bringing together works across centuries, and the confidence to create something entirely personal. With every lot sold and such strong compet ... More
BERLIN.- Jenny Brosinski’s paintings are cool, serious, and at times funny, but also fragile and moving. How can all of this be true at the same time? This is why the artist chose to be a painter: The medium allows her to accommodate these different qualities in a single work. The surface holds several decisions taken over time, giving them a silent stage. The individual steps that make up the painting – a circle of blue, an apparition in white, a cross in red – are clearly visible; you can trace every move. There is no attempt to take away what has been done. There is hardly any painting, you would almost say, considering the limited amount of elements that form the composition and the generous space around the motifs. There is a constellation of lines, and colors. In this theater of reduction, each step carries the weight of a main act. The open, blank canvas remains visible in every work, and you cannot help but think about a clean slate, both as a background and ... More
Chakaia Booker, Rorschach Test M, 2026. Rubber tires, 164 x 22 x 16 in (416.6 x 55.9 x 40.6 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- David Nolan Gallery is presenting Unpacked, Chakaia Booker's third solo exhibition with the gallery. At the gallery's new location in Tribeca, we turn to the full breadth of media Booker has mastered, alongside the rubber-tire sculptures for which she is best known. The exhibition brings together freestanding and wall sculpture, from the intimate to the monumental; multilayered collaged works on paper, a practice she has maintained since 2009; a tapestry born of one such work; and a series of photographs that invite the viewer to see what the artist has seen. For more than four decades, Booker has cut and contorted rubber tires into abstract form, a practice that began in the 1980s, when she first took note of tires abandoned after street fires around the city. The material has held her attention ever since. Her work considers two things at once: a contemplation on consumer culture and industrial excess, ... More

LONDON.- Today, the V&A opens Constantinople to Istanbul: One City, Two Empires, a major exhibition that explores 1,600 years of extraordinary artistic production in one of the world’s most influential cities. Spanning AD 330 to 1922, it brings together remarkable works of art, design and architecture to reveal the enduring creative legacy of an imperial capital that shaped the Mediterranean world and far beyond. The first exhibition in the UK to tell this story in full, it offers a compelling new perspective on a city defined by artistic excellence across more than a millennium. The city once called Constantinople and now called Istanbul was the imperial and religious capital at the heart of two successive empires: the Byzantine (AD 330–1453) and the Ottoman (1453–1922), and the exhibition explores their distinct yet connected traditions of art and design, built across sixteen centuries. It follows changes in patronage and production that reflect the ups and downs of the city ... More
BUDDS and Weatherbys bring 591 lots of racing history to the National Horse Racing Museum on 18 November.
WELLINGBOROUGH.- Two items in this BUDDS sale show just how dangerous a sport horse racing can be. Lester Piggott narrowly escaped death during a horrific starting stalls accident at Epsom Racecourse aboard a horse named Winsor Boy. Winsor Boy panicked inside the starting stalls and forcefully ducked down and lunged forward, dragging Piggott through a narrow gap at the bottom framework of the gate. The saddle Lester used that day is for sale. Green paint from the stalls is still on the underside, and Piggott later signed it. (Lot 60; £2,000–£3,000). A second near miss took place at the start of the 1993 Grand National when the starting tapes struck Richard Dunwoody's undershirt and tore at the collar where the starting tape caught round his neck. The shirt is in the sale as (Lot 119; £1,000–£1,500). After two false starts, 30 of the 39 runners set off anyway, and the race was declared void. BUDDS and Weatherbys bring 591 lots of racing history to the National Horse ... More

Casey Kaplan showcases large-scale paintings, dreamlike figures, and fresco-like surfaces by Ella Walker NEW YORK, NY.- For her third solo exhibition at Casey Kaplan, Ella Walker (b. 1993, Manchester, UK) presents The Street, a new body of work roused from a lucid dream of remembered places and human intrigue set halfway between the Renaissance and present day. Across six large scale paintings, a cast of characters move through brick-lined streets with uncanny spatial logic, fragmenting their bodies into a palimpsest of limbs, faces, and disembodied hands. Layered and diluted paint flows in translucent swathes of color dammed by assertive outlines, occasionally revealing the ghostly pentimenti of an altered pose or worked-over figure. Introducing contemporary costumes and observed environments, Walker’s expanded visual language grounds and reinvents the drama of an interior self set loose in the outside world. Reading like a frieze around ... More
Flawless diamond and four Kashmir sapphires headline Heritage's Holiday Jewelry Auction DALLAS, TX.- Rarity takes many forms in Heritage’s Dec. 7 Holiday Fine Jewelry Signature® Auction: a technically perfect diamond, four Kashmir sapphires with no evidence of heating and a miniature polar landscape created in an edition of just 22. Together, these highlights anchor an auction that pairs exceptional gemstones with distinctive creations by some of jewelry’s most celebrated designers. “The word that defines this auction is rarity,” says Jill Burgum, Heritage’s Executive Director of Fine Jewelry. “A Flawless diamond is remarkable on its own. To offer it alongside four unheated Kashmir sapphires gives bidders several very different opportunities to find something truly special.” The 3.52-carat rectangular step-cut diamond at the center of a custom-made platinum and 18k gold ring brings that theme into sharp focus. Graded D color and Flawless ... More
Silverlens opens an exhibition of speculative basketball paintings and drawings by Jenifer K Wofford NEW YORK, NY.- What if basketball had been invented by Filipinas, and they still ruled the court? That’s the premise of Empress, Jenifer K Wofford’s speculative origin myth for the game. In the intimate exhibition space, Wofford’s squad confronts you the moment you walk in. You are in their house, and amidst the skirmish. The women who live here are completely sovereign. Ruling, yet unruly. Wofford’s paintings world-build around a 1910s photograph of a girls’ team from Apalit, Pampanga. American colonizers brought the sport to the Philippines in the early 1900s as a sport for girls in the public school system. Then conservative Catholic groups had it struck from the curriculum, fearing that young women in bloomers would pick up aggression, promiscuity, even lesbianism. In Empress, it is the long horizontal canvas Empress I (court) that you meet first. A ... More
Walters Art Museum opens an exhibition exploring animal materials, artistry, and conservation BALTIMORE, MD.- On November 7, the Walters Art Museum opens Luxury & Loss: Feather, Shell, Tusk, Horn, a major exhibition that explores luxurious art objects crafted from four natural materials taken from the animal world: kingfisher feather, tortoiseshell, elephant ivory, and rhinoceros horn. For centuries, these materials were prized by the powerful and wealthy for their beauty, scarcity, and the skill required to obtain and work with them. The exhibition will also examine the evolving understanding of how the consumption of materials from these animals over centuries contributed to the eventual decline and endangerment of their respective wild animal populations, which resulted in governments worldwide banning the commercial trade of all four materials in the 20th century. Luxury & Loss is on view through Sunday, January 24, 2027. The exhibition ... More

kaufmann repetto presents fourth solo exhibition of new works by artist Dianna Molzan NEW YORK, NY.- kaufmann repetto is presenting Dianna Molzan’s fourth solo exhibition at the gallery, Bio Casino. The exhibition draws on the fundamental desire for humans to create, tinker, and transform. As a species, our innovations brought about by this intrinsic trait have subsequently impact the natural world and our ever-shifting way of life. Molzan’s works subtly reference historic inventions that have shaped our modern surroundings. Through formal qualities such as pattern, color, and material, Molzan’s works take inspiration from patchworked agricultural fields, ancient systems of water distribution like fountains and pipes, and the transfiguration of raw materials into technological objects such as glass beads. Looking to Louis Comfort Tiffany’s stained glass lamps, which utilized early electric light bulbs that made the floral designs glow, to the radiating ... More
New Orleans Museum of Art opens solo exhibition of works by contemporary painter Danielle Mckinney NEW ORLEANS, LA.- The New Orleans Museum of Art opened a survey of paintings by the American artist Danielle Mckinney.

Pace presents New York solo exhibition of new paintings by Li Hei Di LONDON.- Pace presents the year of mud, an exhibition of new paintings by London-based artist Li Hei Di, at its 540 West 25th Street gallery from November 6 through December 19. Marking the artist’s first solo exhibition with Pace in New York since they joined the gallery’s program in 2024, the year of mud situates Li’s oneiric, effervescent compositions in a mediated viewing environment. Existing between figuration and abstraction, Li’s paintings inhabit a space where certainty begins to dissolve. Li understands life as an ongoing act of transformation—an unending negotiation between interior experience and external reality. Their figures are never fixed, continually shifting between states of becoming and allowing the body to function less as a stable form than as a vessel through which memory, emotion, and desire flow. The compositions, ... More
Sprüth Magers presents first UK solo exhibition of new and earlier paintings by Hyun-Sook Song LONDON.- Painting, for Hyun-Sook Song, is an analogue refuge. Transplanted from an early life in mid-century rural South Korea to the workforce in a rapidly modernising West Germany, Song turned to art-making to image fragmentary memories of a past life and, through them, a fading cultural paradigm. The forms she delineates with only a few sweeping brushstrokes carry the material and muscle memories of the cyclical agriculture that sustained life in the mountain village where she was born – harvesting rice with a sickle, uncoiling threads from silk cocoons. Song builds her canvases through a carefully choreographed sequence of movements, akin to the breath-guided flow of qigong, to channel invisible forces as she applies the egg tempera paint. Sprüth Magers is pleased to present new paintings by Song, in conversation with earlier works, at the London ... More

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).
