AALBORG.- With this exhibition, Per Kirkeby (1938–2018) is, for the first time, given a central place at Kunsten – in a special exhibition spanning six decades of his artistic career. Here you can experience everything from the monumental paintings to the small, intense bronzes created by the international star with strong ties to North Jutland. The exhibition embraces Kirkeby’s entire career – from the early works, through sculptures and drawings, to the large canvases. It is a body of work that, to a rare degree, harmonizes with Alvar Aalto’s beautiful architecture. In the exhibition, you encounter works that move from the pop-inspired and urban to nature’s deep geological time – and to the unique poetry that binds art and nature together; fleeting and sensuous. At a time when nature is under pressure and the pace of life is accelerating, Kirkeby’s art, so to speak, anchors us to the chalk layers beneath our feet and reminds us of the stories carried by ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Close your eyes and recall an Italian cityscape to mind and it’s most likely that a grand palazzo will dominate the view. From Milan in the north to Palermo in the south, these majestic buildings have forever formed such an important part of the architectural and cultural spirit of the cities they grace. And this book is your ticket inside those imposing walls to enjoy the opulence and mysteries therein. Massimo Listri, whose previous work took us through the great wooden portals, spiral staircases and shelf-lined corridors of the world's most famous libraries, now invites us into the most magnificent and significant of Italy’s palaces. Each of these beautifully designed and crafted private palaces exudes its own stories of power, wealth, art and culture – and you can explore their glorious corridors and uncover every secret of their colorful past. These stunning palaces cover a range of architectural styles, from the fortified Medieval walls right through to the ornate ... More
PARIS.- The Louvre has reopened its renovated galleries of Italian and Spanish painting from the 17th and 18th centuries, offering visitors a refreshed way to experience some of the museum’s most important works. After a year-long renovation, the galleries—located on the first floor of the Denon Wing—now feature a redesigned layout, updated lighting, newly painted walls, and improved interpretive materials that bring renewed clarity and depth to the collection. The reopening marks more than a cosmetic update. It also reflects a major behind-the-scenes effort to reassess, conserve, and, in some cases, restore the paintings themselves. Many works had remained hung high on the walls since the galleries were first installed in 1999, limiting close inspection. During the renovation, each painting was examined, cleaned, and carefully evaluated for conservation needs. ... More
MONACO.- Simple forms, fractal figures, muted, dull or vibrant colours, prickly, downy, bristly or waxy sheaths, fleshy, velvety organs, extravagant architectures – cacti and succulents have been a source of fascination for centuries. The Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, in collaboration with the Musée YVES SAINT LAURENT Marrakech, which initiated the project in 2024, is today dedicating an exhibition to them, seen from both a botanical and artistic perspective. Native to the ‘torrid zone’ of our planet and indicators of an arid climate, cacti are ideal subjects through which to understand the gradual spread of tropical flora in the West, carried by expeditions, explorers, and the horticultural boom of the 19th century. With their outlandish forms, they challenge our conception of plant life, were quickly reproduced in a variety of botanical publications and entered the collections of prestigious gardens. Though deceptively easy to cultivate, these plants are regularly collected ... More
PARIS.- Auguste Rodin is best known as the sculptor who reshaped modern sculpture, but a newly opened exhibition reminds us that his true laboratory was often paper. On view from December 13, 2025, through March 1, 2026, Rodin. Free Drawings brings together nearly 70 works from the museum’s own holdings to reveal a restless, experimental draftsman who never stopped reinventing his visual language. Rodin once said, “My drawings are the key to my work,” and the exhibition takes that statement seriously. Drawn from a collection of some 7,000 sheets preserved by the museum, these works trace the artist’s lifelong relationship with drawing—from his formative years to the luminous, color-saturated sheets of his final decades. Rather than presenting drawings as preparatory studies, the exhibition frames them as autonomous ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum announced Noguchi’s New York, on view from February 4–July 5, 2026. Organized on the occasion of the Museum’s 40th anniversary, and curated by Kate Wiener, Curator at The Noguchi Museum, the exhibition examines the artist’s deep and dynamic relationship with New York City, a place he called home for much of his life, and one that profoundly shaped his artistic vision. Isamu Noguchi first moved to New York in 1922 at age seventeen, and the city remained his on-again-off-again home until his death in 1988. Though he spent much of his career traveling the world and forging meaningful connections in cities from Paris to Mexico City to Tokyo, Noguchi always returned to New York. “I’m really a New Yorker,” he said in a late career interview. “Not Japanese, not a citizen of the world, just a New Yorker who goes wandering ...

David Shrigley, Subtractor, 2013.
ROTTERDAM.- With his dryly comic drawings, absurdist installations and sharp observations, British artist David Shrigley (1968) offers a humorous and critical view of life and the art world. In the exhibition What the Hell Was I Thinking? Shrigley turns that gaze inward for the first time, giving you a glimpse inside his mind. He provides witty commentary throughout the exhibition, with observations that scrutinise both society and his own work. The presentation shows how he looks back on earlier pieces, reworks ideas, and gives space to doubt. For Shrigley, being an artist is not about lofty genius, but about a process of experimentation and reflection. For Kunsthal Rotterdam, Shrigley brings together a wide selection of his absurdist works, presented in new forms. Fifty drawings created especially for the exhibition depict animals, people, and everyday situations in Shrigley’s distinctive satirical style. His peculiar universe also takes shape in a three-metre-tall, mechanically moving nude ... More

ATHENS.- The Sea Garden curated by Danai Giannoglou and Kyveli Mavrokordopoulou, is the winning proposal resulting from the second Open Call issued by the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens (EMΣT) for the curation of a group exhibition. Launched in 2023, this initiative has become an important way for the museum to support curatorial research and to create new opportunities for emerging curators in Greece. The Open Call underscores the polyphonic character of EMΣT’s exhibition programme, inviting proposals that engage, among other things, with the Museum’s Collection and Archive. With its title alluding to the 1916 poetry collection Sea Garden by the American poet H.D. (1886–1961), the exhibition brings together works that materially incorporate and depict natural landscapes and the subtle but decisive human interventions they reveal. Landscapes seen through watery reflections that resemble human bodies. Landscapes suffused ... More
Sabrina Bockler, Divine Meddling (2025), acrylic on linen, 76 x 61 cm.
LONDON.- Sabrina Bockler returns to BEERS London for Impending Rapture, her second solo exhibition at the gallery. The exhibition explores ideas of duality and cyclical change — abundance and scarcity, light and dark, loss and renewal. Impending Rapture refers to the moment of division and continuation, when one form becomes two, when growth depends on disruption, fracture, or surrender. Comprised of ten paintings, Bockler riffs off Dutch still life and allegorical paintings of the Renaissance, grounding the series in the myth of Persephone as an anchor to explore ideas of descent and return, echoing the rhythms of the seasons and the emotional cycles we move through as human beings. For Bockler, this is a negotiation between beauty and unease, hope and loss, beauty and decay. Most artists begin with a question or a series of questions. For Bockler, what began as a meditation on transformation soon evolved into an interest in how inherited myths shape our understanding of contemporary issu ... More
COPENHAGEN.- Nivaagaard’s Painting Collection is closing 2025 on a high note. With more than 82,000 visitors, the museum has recorded the second-highest attendance in its history, confirming a year marked by strong public interest, ambitious exhibitions, and significant additions to the permanent collection. The year opened at full speed with the final months of WETLAND – Michael Kvium, which became the museum’s second most visited exhibition ever, surpassed only by the record-breaking William Morris exhibition in 2019. January also saw the opening of Arteron Colony in Hornbæk, where visitors encountered works by contemporary artists known from the popular DR television series, including Apolonia Sokol, Noah Umur Kanber, Kasper Eistrup, Jeannette Ehlers, Nina Saunders, and Christian Schmidt-Rasmussen—bringing contemporary art directly into the North Zealand landscape. Spring and summer drew large audiences to The Bloomsbury Group: The Art of Living, a vibrant sequel to the Morri ... More

PARIS.- From 1975 to 1986, German photographer Sibylle Bergemann documented the creation of the Marx and Engels monument in East Berlin. The project, conceived in the aftermath of World War II and the founding of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), was ultimately entrusted in 1973 to the sculptor Ludwig Engelhardt, who allied himself with several other artists. Bergemann began photographing informally, before receiving an official commission from the Ministry of Culture in 1977. Over the course of eleven years, she captured each stage of the process, from the earliest models to the monument’s inauguration on April 4, 1986. Despite the publication of some images in the press as early as 1983 and their presentation in an official exhibition, it was only once the commission was completed that Bergemann fully reclaimed the body of work. Out of more than 400 developed rolls of film, she selected twelve photographs, ... More

BASEL.- For his first solo exhibition in Europe, Troy Montes Michie transforms Kunsthalle Basel into a space shaped by memory, fragments, and unfinished histories. Titled The Jawbone Sings Blue, the exhibition unfolds as a quiet but insistent meditation on visibility, absence, and the ways personal and collective archives survive attempts at erasure. Michie’s work has long revolved around the archive—not as a stable repository of facts, but as something fragile, incomplete, and deeply human. Family photographs, intimate images, scraps of text, and found materials are gathered and reassembled in a process that recalls scrapbooking. Yet unlike traditional narrative albums, Michie allows gaps to remain. Missing images, blank pages, and interruptions are not treated as problems to solve, but as charged spaces where meaning stays unresolved. Throughout the exhibition, books, textiles, and sculptural assemblages appear folded, layered, stitched, or suspended, resisting ... More

Samantha Yancey documents the unseparable bond of Mississippi twins at All About Photo WEST HOLLYWOOD CA.- Samantha Yancey presents Fay and Gay, a solo exhibition on view throughout January 2026, featuring an intimate portrait of twin sisters Fay and Gay, born in 1936 near Pelahatchie, Mississippi. Never separated, the sisters have shared nearly every aspect of their lives—from building their home together in 1969 to maintaining intertwined careers, daily routines, and a deeply rooted sense of companionship. Yancey’s project offers a quiet yet powerful meditation on twinhood, aging, and lifelong partnership. Fay and Gay share household duties, creative hobbies such as knitting and puzzle-solving, and are known locally for their homemade Divinity candy. Their home reflects decades of shared history, filled with twin-inspired artwork, poems, porcelain figurines, and framed puzzles made from family memories. They continue to dress in matching ... More
The Associations of Pauline Curnier Jardin: A twenty-year survey opens at M HKA ANTWERP.- M HKA presents the first survey exhibition of French artist Pauline Curnier Jardin. The show brings together twenty years of her exuberant, hybrid art practice, featuring films, drawings, sculptures, installations, and a stage for live events. Visitors are immersed in Curnier Jardin’s unique world, where cinema, performance, and personal or collective stories merge into a festive and multi-layered whole. The Associations of Pauline Curnier Jardin is the first survey exhibition dedicated to Pauline Curnier Jardin’s (°1980, Marseille, France) artistic career, which emerged twenty years ago at the intersection of cinema, performance and the visual arts, in close connection with the places where she has lived and worked: the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and France. The title announces a story: a story of the groups formed throughout the artist’s career, of the affinities she has ... More
L'Atelier des Rêves: a poetic gallery in Paris that brings together visual art, craftsmanship, and storytelling PARIS.- What if art stopped, for an instant, being merely an object of contemplation, and became once again an inner, narrative, almost intimate experience? In a Paris saturated with standardized galleries, L’Atelier des Rêves stands out. It sells neither a trend, nor a school, nor a market value. It offers something else: a sensitive space where image binds with word, where poetry converses with matter, where child and adult alike discover, each in their own way, a path toward the marvelous. Discreetly opened in the 14th arrondissement, at the heart of the artists’ quarter, this hybrid place—born from the imagination of Laura Rucinska and Franck Bénéteau combines paintings inspired by astrophysics, artisanal resin creations, poetic tales rooted in scientific truths, and collections of musical poetry. All conceived as a coherent, fluid whole, carried by the same dreamlike ... More
Bluerider ART launches triple-venue winter art series TAIPEI.- White — the end of all colors and the origin of all things. Bluerider ART Taipei·Dunhua presents the White Trilogy of Love: White Realm at Bluerider ART Taipei·Dunhua, White Light at Breeze Center, and White Jade at Hotel MVSA, on view from December 6, 2025 to February 28, 2026. Across a festive season that spans Christmas, New Year, and Lunar New Year, the trilogy unfolds three exhibitions across three distinctive venues, uniting Fine Art, refined taste, and elevated sensibility into one integrated experience. As Nietzsche wrote, “Art is the highest affirmation of life.” Michel Foucault’s concept of the technē of the self posits that one shapes existence through style; Heidegger’s notion of “poetic dwelling” reveals beauty as a mode of being and perceiving. In resonance with these philosophies, the White ... More
Eva Jospin transforms Grand Palais gallery into a labyrinth of sculpted forests and imagined ruins PARIS.- Eva Jospin’s new exhibition, Grottesco, now on view at Galerie 9, invites visitors into a richly layered world where sculpture, architecture, and landscape blur into one another. Bringing together more than fifteen works—several created especially for this presentation and unveiled for the first time—the exhibition marks a new chapter in the artist’s ongoing exploration of imagined spaces and hidden depths. For more than a decade, Eva Jospin has been building a singular body of work shaped by forests, ruins, and grottoes. In Grottesco, these motifs come together with renewed intensity. The title itself points to the origins of the “grotesque”: the rediscovery of Nero’s buried Domus Aurea, whose underground frescoes inspired a style where vegetal, architectural, and fantastical forms intertwine. Jospin draws on this history not as a quotation, but ... More
The Northern Isles: Orkney & Shetland celebrating the art from Scotland's Northern Edge EDINBURGH.- The Scottish Gallery presents The Northern Isles, an exhibition exploring the artistic legacy and living creative culture of Orkney and Shetland. Bringing together more than thirty artists connected to the archipelagos, by birth, by home, by residency, or by artistic pilgrimage, this wide-ranging exhibition showcases painting, printmaking, sculpture, jewellery, ceramics, and furniture inspired by two of Scotland’s most elemental landscapes. The Northern Isles have long exerted a magnetic pull for artists seeking an encounter with raw geography, shifting weather and transformative light. Orkney’s calm luminosity and Shetland’s dramatic volatility provide a compelling duality that has shaped generations of makers. This exhibition examines those contrasts and connections through contemporary work created especially for the show, alongside selected pieces ... More
Architectural dreams: Charlotte Edey makes New York solo debut at James Cohan NEW YORK, NY.- James Cohan will present Corner/Fold, an exhibition of new work by Charlotte Edey, on view at 52 Walker Street from January 9 to February 14, 2026. This is Edey’s first exhibition with James Cohan, and her first solo exhibition in New York. Charlotte Edey’s multimedia works depict dreamlike worlds that explore architectures of the interior, both bodily and domestic. Edey combines pastel, embroidery, beadwork, stained glass, and woodworking to pull viewers through spatial and psychological scenes that are immersive and illusive. The artist creates transfixing hybrid surfaces that shimmer and shift with changing light, imbuing her compositions with a slippery, fragmentary quality. Magical realism is rearticulated as an aesthetic device to mine the uncanny similarities between ourselves and our built environment. Historically gendered mediums ... More
