DRESDEN.- The Albertinum of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden is presenting an ambitious exhibition that brings together, for the first time, two of the most compelling artistic figures of the early modern era: Paula Modersohn-Becker and Edvard Munch. Titled “Paula Modersohn-Becker and Edvard Munch. The Big Questions of Life,” the exhibition assembles around 150 works to explore how both artists grappled with the fundamental experiences of human existence. The show coincides with a significant anniversary, marking 150 years since Modersohn-Becker’s birth in Dresden on February 8, 1876. Through paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture, the exhibition traces how both artists responded to the profound social and cultural transformations unfolding around 1900. Industrialization, technological advances, and shifting social norms shaped their lives and creative outlooks, yet both remained deeply focused on the individual. Their works examine themes such as birth and death, illnes ... More
LOS ANGELES, CA.- In the summer of 1941, Arshile Gorky, his soon-to-be wife Agnes ‘Mougouch’ Magruder and Isamu Noguchi packed into Noguchi’s brand-new Ford station wagon and set out for Los Angeles from New York City. Their two-week road trip marked Gorky’s first visit to California and his first extended time away from the East Coast since arriving in America as an Armenian refugee in 1920. Focused on the transformative impact of this journey, ‘Horizon West’ presents a selection of Gorky’s landscapes from before, during and after the transcontinental trip, tracing the development of his incomparable approach to the genre. On view now at the gallery’s West Hollywood location, the exhibition features never-before-exhibited works alongside paintings from the artist’s first ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Since the 1970s, Peter Bradley has made expressive, abstract sculptures alongside the Color Field paintings for which he is best known. For Ten Sculptures, Bradley welded together salvaged industrial fragments such as grates, pipes, and perforated sheets to create hybrid forms that fuse geometrical abstraction with assemblage’s connection to the everyday. As in his paintings, color, which in Bradley’s words “dictates sound, feelings . . . It’s all color,” is essential here. The artist used a focused palette for select elements, setting off the burnished silver of untreated steel. This evocative combination of found and altered forms synthesizes Bradley’s over fifty years of improvisational abstractions across media. Bradley began making sculptures with reclaimed wood around the time he started using a spray gun to project acrylic onto canvas, which would become his signature technique throughout the 1970s. The artist learned to weld metal at the end of the ... More

Paulo Nimer Pjota, O jacaré e o peixe, 2025. Acrylic, oil and tempera on canvas, 82.5 x 64.25 inches (209.5 x 163.5 cm.)
LOS ANGELES, CA.- François Ghebaly is presenting Na Boca do Sol II, Paulo Nimer Pjota’s latest exhibition at the Los Angeles gallery. Brazilian artist Paulo Nimer Pjota has long engaged painting as a recombinative practice, collapsing historical epochs and iconographic traditions within a signature transhistorical visual vocabulary. In his work, pre-Columbian pottery sits beside Flemish still life, Grecian amphorae overflow with mythic reference, and the pastoral landscapes of the Brazilian countryside bleed into arcane cartographies of dream and navigation. His newest exhibition, titled Na Boca do Sol II or “The Mouth of the Sun,” references a 1972 recording by Brazilian composer Arthur Verocai—a sun-drenched meditation on life in the provinces that, decades later, was heavily sampled by music producers in Los Angeles. Past sounds resurface in new contexts, mirroring the logic of Pjota’s paintings themselves, where histories are ... More
The gown was designed by Hervé Pierre, a French American fashion and costume designer, who also designed Mrs. Trump’s 2017 inaugural ball gown.
WASHINGTON, DC.- First Lady of the United States Melania Trump formally presented the gown she wore to the 2025 inaugural balls to the Smithsonian’s First Ladies Collection, Friday, Feb. 20, during a ceremony at the National Museum of American History. The strapless off-white silk crepe gown trimmed with two bands of black silk gazar will be displayed at the center of the museum’s popular “The First Ladies,” exhibition beginning today. The gown was designed by Hervé Pierre, a French American fashion and costume designer, who also designed Mrs. Trump’s 2017 inaugural ball gown. Accenting the dress is a reproduction of a 1955 Harry Winston original creation, a curving, floral diamond brooch. Mrs. Trump borrowed the original, an archival piece from the House of Harry Winston, and pinned it to a black ribbon that she wore as a choker. For more than 100 years, the First Ladies Collection has been one of the most popular attractions at the Smithsonian. It originated in ... More
KREMS.- The Krems Caricature Museum has opened a major solo exhibition dedicated to Austrian artist Oliver Schopf, celebrating a career defined by sharp observation, political wit, and masterful draftsmanship. Titled Oliver Schopf: Nothing but the Truth, the exhibition runs from February 21, 2026, through January 31, 2027, and also launches the museum’s 25th anniversary year as Austria’s only institution devoted exclusively to satirical art. Best known for his long-standing role as caricaturist for the Austrian daily Der Standard, Schopf has spent decades capturing political and social developments with a distinctive, incisive visual language. Since the late 1980s, his drawings have combined careful research with humor and pointed commentary, earning him an international readership. His work has appeared in major publications including Le Monde, The Guardian, El País, Die Zeit, and The Japan Times, among others. The Krems exhibition brings together around 200 original works, offering ... More
Sean Hemmerle, Harlem, NYC, USA, 2025. Archival pigment print on forex. Ed. of 5, 98 x 70 cm.
COLOGNE.- For over twenty years, American photographer Sean Hemmerle (born 1966) has been exploring the theme of basketball as an international cultural phenomenon that transcends borders, languages, and religions in his series Hoops. The first image in the series was taken in 2003. At the time, Hemmerle was documenting crisis areas and had therefore traveled to Iraq. When he saw a basketball court in Baghdad, it occurred to him that, against the backdrop of the controversial actions of the Bush administration, this sport might be the most significant cultural export of the United States. Since then, Hemmerle has documented basketball courts across the North American continent, from Arizona to New Hampshire, from Texas to Canada, as well as fourteen other countries in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa to capture what he sees as a symbol of “a better form of American diplomacy” with the hoops, as they are able to represent the true diversity and spirit of his homeland ...

Andrius Alvarez-Backus, To Whom I Belong, 2025. Wood, leather, epoxy, bronze, acrylic, 29 1/2 x 10 x 19 inches (75 x 25 x 48 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- Eli Klein Gallery is presenting “Andrius Alvarez-Backus: I Want to Know, I Need to Know,” the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, debuting six major multimedia sculptures and a series of works on panel. Emerging from a series of health incidents experienced by the artist and his family over the past year, the exhibition examines the intersection of the artist’s primal pursuit of self-knowledge and the denial of a fully transparent answer in its process. To Alvarez-Backus, knowing begins with urgency and does not end in absolutes—ambiguity is a form of truth. Born to a family of Filipinx medical practitioners, Alvarez-Backus’s pursuit of ancestral and family connection is not only the passing down of cultural heritage, but also a flesh-bound visceral kinship, with his contemporary art practice deeply informed by the study of surgical medicine. This brand-new body of work, created during his ... More
KV Duong, Auntie no. 4, 2025. Acrylic on latex (resin-fibreglass backing), 47 x 40 cm, 18 ½ x 15 ¾ in.
LONDON.- Pippy Houldsworth Gallery is presenting London based artist KV Duong’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, Where Wound Becomes Water. KV Duong (b.1980, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) is an ethnically Chinese artist with a transnational background - born in Vietnam, raised in Canada, and now living and working in the UK. In Where Wound Becomes Water, Duong presents paintings on latex set alongside an installation inspired by the homes of Vietnamese immigrant families living in London social housing in the 1980’s. Where Wound Becomes Water, the exhibition’s namesake, takes the form of a five-panel painting of a bomb pond in rural Vietnam. Duong’s Bomb Pond series depicts the present-day bodies of water that have formed in the thousands of craters left by the Vietnam War, as nearly three million tons of explosives were dropped by U.S. forces between 1964 and 1973. Painted here in fiery hues against the natural yellow of his fleshy latex ... More
Amir Yatziv, A Report, 2026. Courtesy of the artist.
TEL AVIV.- A new solo exhibition by Amir Yatziv (b. 1972, lives and works in Tel Aviv-Yafo) centers on Peter, a literary character drawn from Franz Kafka’s 1917 short story A Report to an Academy. Kafka’s Peter is an ape captured by a hunting expedition and brought to Europe, where he learns to imitate human behavior and performs on stages as an entertainer. Yatziv places Peter at the heart of a new video installation based on live simulation which updates, responds, and changes in real time. Over the past two years, Yatziv has reanimated the character of Peter using AI technologies and staged a series of duet performances with him. Taking interpretive liberties with Kafka’s original text, Yatziv imagines a Peter who no longer seeks only to integrate into human society but instead expresses a strong desire to return to being an ape—a state he has no longer remembers. In these performances, the two converse about life—Peter’s desires, his habits and his experiences ... More
Jim Isermann, Untitled (0225), 2025. Acrylic on canvas over aluminum panel, 48 x 48 inches, 121.9 x 121.9 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery is presenting Build, California-based artist Jim Isermann’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition is on view 19 February through 28 March 2026 at 511 West 22nd Street. Accompanying the exhibition is a fully illustrated publication featuring an essay by Jesse Dorris. Build presents sixteen works by Isermann, whose process combines meticulous planning with the deliberate presence of the hand. The palpable architectural influence in Isermann’s latest paintings is evident through carefully executed straight lines, subtle shifts in hue performing as depth, and recognizable geometric frameworks. The new body of work’s advanced dimensionality and a departure from Isermann’s pure patterning style. While patterning remains central to Isermann’s practice, functioning as both formal armature and conceptual device. His signature rainbow-based palette engages histories ... More

Kunstverein in Hamburg presents exhibitions by Lenke Rothman and Hsu Che-Yu with Chen Wan-Yin HAMBURG.- The Kunstverein in Hamburg presents Quality of Life, the first comprehensive survey of the Swedish Hungarian artist Lenke Rothman outside of Sweden. From the 1950s until her death in 2008, Rothman developed a unique œuvre where aspects of the everyday are set against her biographical and historic backdrop. Characterised by the radical processing of a lived present after the Shoah, Rothman’s practice negotiates lines of temporality and transience through, amongst other things, the preservation of ephemeral and overlooked materials in a body of work that moves from abstract painting in the 1950s and 60s into the vocabulary of post-conceptual feminist sculpture in the 1970s and 80s. Rothman was immersed in the literary milieu in Sweden and shared a close friendship with Nobel Laureate Nelly Sachs. Despite her own foray into writing, Rothman’s work ... More
George Eastman Museum to receive $500,000 in federal funding ROCHESTER, NY.- Federal funds of $500,000 have been secured by U.S. Senator Charles Schumer and appropriated for the George Eastman Museum to support the restoration of its historic house’s chimneys, parapets, and roof railings—all of which are in critical need of upgrades. The museum will receive a Save America’s Treasures grant from the Historic Preservation Fund of the National Park Service. United States Senator Chuck Schumer delivered this federal funding through the FY2026 Interior appropriations act, passed in the House (397–28) and Senate (82–15) and signed by the president. Over the next two years, the mansion’s eleven large, original chimneys and thirteen parapets (protective wall extensions) will be restored and stabilized. This will prevent water infiltration into the structure. In addition, the severely deteriorated roof railing will be replaced. ... More

Reykjavík Art Museum opens an exhibition of works by Guðrún Kristjánsdóttir REYKJAVÍK.- Guðrún Kristjánsdóttir's exhibition in the West Hall of Kjarvalsstaðir brings the vastness of nature closer to us. Guðrún has carved out a unique place in Icelandic art with works that explore the relationship between nature and man, shaped by the weather and light in Iceland. She approaches nature as a living force, where stillness and power meet and unexpected beauty emerges in humble moments. Guðrún's work reflects a constant search for balance and captures both the small and the vast in the landscape. In her paintings, nature appears as an ever-changing process where transformation and movement are in constant collaboration. By connecting different materials and methods – videos, light, reflections, rhymes and music – a place and time is created where perception itself becomes part of the work. In recent years, she has worked with materials ... More
Kemper Art Museum announces spring 2026 exhibitions ST. LOUIS, MO.- On February 27, 2026, the Kemper Art Museum at WashU will open two thought-provoking exhibitions that critically examine the effects of our interconnected global world. Looking Back Toward the Future: Contemporary Photography from China presents forty-three photographs created in China between 1993 and 2006. Featuring the work of fourteen contemporary artists, this survey represents a wide cross section of the so-called new conceptual photography that flourished there in the decades following 1989—a year marked by the government suppression of students protesting social injustices and antidemocratic actions on Tiananmen Square in Beijing. On view for the first time at the Kemper Art Museum, these glossy photographs—often beyond human scale—constitute a significant recent addition to the institution’s holdings of contemporary Chinese ...

Overbeck Gesellschaft presents Michaela Melián: Echo LÜBECK.- Delayed, fragmented, and shaped by space and distance, an echo describes the phenomenon in which a sound does not fade away but returns as reverberation—a sound without a fixed origin, transformed through repetition. The exhibition ECHO is devoted to the afterlife of history(ies) in the present. In her artistic research, Michaela Melián traces the legacy of Julia Mann (née da Silva Bruhns), the Brazilian matriarch of the Mann family. At the Pavilion of the Overbeck-Gesellschaft and at Kulturkirche St. Petri in Lübeck, she unfolds a multilayered field of resonance composed of textiles, sculptures, projections, and sound. Through serial arrangements and sampling, visual and sonic patterns emerge that overlap, condense, and at the same time elude. Historical material remains fragmentary: ruptures, gaps, and absences are not resolved but instead deliberately ... More
