BARCELONA.- The exhibition Antoni Tàpies: The Perpetual Movement of the Wall explores the development of the artist’s work over the decade of the 1950s, focusing on the ways his paintings were presented at galleries and how they were perceived and interpreted by the public. Continuing the research begun in 2025 with the exhibition Antoni Tàpies: The Imagination of the World, which focused on the artist’s earliest work, the project presents new perspectives on a period of major changes in Tàpies’ artistic practice, with the aim of looking at his legacy from different standpoints. The project delves into four case studies of individual exhibitions (Galerias Layetanas, Barcelona, 1950 and 1954; Galerie Stadler, París, 1956; and Sala Gaspar, Barcelona, 1960) in which Antoni Tàpies presented very different sets of works, each of them set up in different ways. As Imma Prieto, director of the Museu Tàpies and cocurator of the exhibition, points, “thus, the interaction between work, wa ... More

Marina Abramović, Artist Portrait with a Rose (from the series: Places of Power), 2013 (Ed. 5 + 2 AP/5/5), 2026.
ZUG.- Helvetika 1575 presents After Attention, a two-person exhibition that brings works by Marina Abramović and Márta Kucsora into a shared frame that treats attention as material and the body as its conduit. The titular moment holds onto a specific interval, namely the moment after concentration releases and before perception settles into its next rhythm. With Abramović’s photography and Kucsora’s works on canvas, both drawn from various series across each artist’s practice, the exhibition stays with Nachklang, the lingering vibration that remains once an intense encounter has slipped into the past tense yet is still immediate enough to leave a physical imprint. In Marina Abramović’s photographic works, the after is inseparable from the fact that the initiating act has already happened. Performance continues through the still image as a carried remainder, a form that preserves the pressure of practiced presence and transmits it beyond ... More
LOS ANGELES, CA.- The Museum of Contemporary Art announced that it has acquired Kara Walker’s monumental sculpture Unmanned Drone (2023), currently on view in the landmark exhibition MONUMENTS at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA and The Brick. In addition, over the course of 2025, MOCA expanded its renowned permanent collection with the addition of 158 works by 106 artists.

A searing and crucial statement about the legacy of post-Civil War United States, it is a profound work for this moment–and for the ages. This ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Albrecht Dürer is the undisputed genius of the Northern Renaissance, a visionary unbound by a single medium. He carved a career spanning painting, printmaking, drawing, and art theory, mastering each with dazzling skill. Famous in his own lifetime for his portraits of princes and patricians, his luminous drawings and watercolors transformed the sketch into an art form in its own right: works such as Young Hare stand as marvels of observation, capturing life with a precision and sensitivity that still amaze today. He was native to the bustling city of Nuremberg, but his travels brought him face-to-face with Renaissance humanism, Venetian color, and classical ideals of beauty. These he absorbed and reimagined with northern precision. As court artist to Maximilian I, and confidant of humanists like Erasmus, he moved easily among the great minds of his age, his musings ...

Casper Brindle, Veil III (Lime), 2024, Acrylic & automotive paint on formed acrylic,
52” x 72” x 4”.
SANTA MONICA, CA.- William Turner Gallery presents Surface Tension: Focus Los Angeles, a major group exhibition of West Coast artists on view through April 11, 2026. Surface Tension: Focus Los Angeles explores surface as an active site of meaning, sensation, and perception. The exhibition foregrounds how contemporary practices use texture, layering, and materiality to shape visual and sensory experience. Bridging painting, sculpture, and works at their intersection, the featured artists employ materials ranging from pearlescent and pigmented acrylics to urethane, resin, industrial finishes, and etched line-work. Together, the works reveal surface as a dynamic interface that captures light, depth, and movement while inviting sustained, close looking. Through extended material experimentation and technical refinement, each artist demonstrates a deep attunement to their chosen medium, using surface to generate tension between ... More
Pokémon "Pikachu" Illustrator Unnumbered Promo CoroCoro Comics PSA Trading Card Game Mint 9 (The Pokémon Company, 1998).
DALLAS, TX.- Thirty years ago today, the phenomenon that would become the world’s highest-grossing media franchise began with the release of a pair of cartridges for the Nintendo Game Boy, Pocket Monsters Red and Pocket Monsters Green. Along with video games, the entertainment juggernaut would eventually include mobile games, movies, home video, toys and, of course, the Pokémon Trading Card Game. In 1999, for about $4, a kid could get a pack of 11. Today, an unopened original Base Set Booster Pack can easily fetch thousands of dollars. And rare cards, such as the Pikachu Illustrator card awarded as the grand prize of one of the initial three illustration contests publicized in CoroCoro Comic, can realize hundreds of thousands or even millions. With only 39 such Pikachu Illustrator cards awarded in those initial contests, opportunities to catch your own “Holy Grail” of Pokémon TCG collecting don’t come along often, ... More

Alexandra Karakashian, Close to hand I, 2025. Used engine oil on sized paper, 100 × 70 cm.
MADRID.- These exhibitions present a body of work by Alexandra Karakashian, centred on a long-term engagement with a single material: oil. More precisely, engine oil – black oil, greasy oil, and slippery oil. Across installation, textile, and works on paper, her practice unfolds as an inquiry in which oil becomes her primary medium and feeds geopolitical questions. Oil is a material inhabited by deep time, it is an ecosystem originating from prehistoric marine life, transformed by human intervention into a substance that fuels contemporary life while bearing the trace of environmental violence. It is a matter that exceeds us, in its scale, and imperial symbolism. By working with one of the most powerful resources on earth, Karakashian’s practice exposes the contradictions embedded in oil’s omnipresence. While it structures everyday consumption, it also underlies systems of extraction, environmental injustice, and power. This material engagement resonates with broader histories of ... More

Raised by Mountains: Silverlens exhibits works by John Frank Sabado & Leonardo Aguinaldo MANILA.- Being raised in the mountains means always seeing the world at an altitude. The expansive becomes intuitive, and the interconnected is reliable. This is examined in John Frank Sabado’s portraits of people who have shaped his sense of communality from childhood. In Leonardo Aguinaldo’s works, the figures see themselves as seeing the world change and how they wish to be seen in it. In one of his pieces, Aguinaldo references a colonial image of Igorots gazing at rice terraces. He superimposes the view of terraces with giant blocks resembling modern buildings and teeming with the iconic drop pin symbol. In another work, a local is poised atop a horse as if surveying the land. But the mountain trails are missing, and Aguinaldo paints a map of a city. The artist connotes converting agricultural gardens into grotesque tourist theme parks, a current and popular economic ... More
Bruno Zhu. Belas Artes opens at Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian's Project Space LISBON.- Belas Artes, a solo exhibition by Bruno Zhu (Porto, 1991), will be on view at CAM – Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian’s Project Space from February 28. Influenced by fashion design, publishing and scenography, Zhu’s object-led installations explore notions of agency, authorship, consumption, and power. The exhibition at CAM follows ‘Licence to Live’ (2024), commissioned and presented by Chisenhale Gallery in London.

Belas Artes adopts the detailed instructions in that license agreement. CAM has implemented its codes for colour, display, ornamentation, and orientation, generating four distinct yet interconnected rooms. These custom-built exhibition rooms display artworks from the CAM Collection ... More
Bradley Kerl explores memory and movement at Ivester Contemporary AUSTIN, TX.- Ivester Contemporary presents Point of Light, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Bradley Kerl. This marks the artist’s third solo exhibition with the gallery and features a body of work that explores scale, structure, and the shifting meanings of familiar imagery. Kerl set out to create paintings of varying scales that maintain equal visual and conceptual strength regardless of size, building each composition atop a framework of geometry and symmetry that is then disguised, subverted, or reworked through an intuitive, painterly process. Drawing from a wide range of source material including personal photographs, memories, vernacular painting, and his children’s drawings, Kerl constructs layered paintings that operate as both collage and invention. The works examine how symbols and settings can transform depending on context, highlighting dualities such as ... More
Matt Mullican dismantles the encyclopedia at Peter Freeman, Inc. NEW YORK, NY.- Peter Freeman, Inc. presents The Universe, Matt Mullican’s sixth solo exhibition with the gallery, featuring a single new work comprised of 9,519 collaged and hand-numbered sheets, approximately 6,700 of which are installed in an immersive layout that fills the gallery. The Universe (2023–2025) is Mullican’s latest “book,” a category of artwork he conceived and began using in the early 1970s in various formats, including drawing, collage, prints, photos, lightboxes, and rubbings. Mullican has stated that “everything is a sequence,” and “it is hard to say when it is not a book.” For The Universe, Mullican used two copies of the 1990 edition of the Random House Encyclopedia (originally published in 1977) as his starting point, cutting out every image or chapter title per page, collaging each onto individual sheets, and numbering the sheets according ...

Édouard Glissant's personal art collection makes US debut NEW YORK, NY.- This spring, CARA presents The Earth, the Fire, the Water, and the Winds: For a Museum of Errantry with Édouard Glissant—the first US exhibition of the Martinican poet and philosopher Édouard Glissant's (1928–2011) personal art collection. Traveling from Instituto Tomie Ohtake in São Paulo, Brazil, The Earth, the Fire, the Water, and the Winds reveals a lesser-known dimension of Glissant’s life: his vision for a museum. He conceived of it not as a monument, but as a space capable of holding art, memories, and intertwined histories without reducing them to colonial frameworks. Errantry, central to Glissant’s thinking and this vision for a museum, is movement, encounter, and reinvention. It unfolds through the crossing of borders—geographic, linguistic, and historic—and resists the pull toward singular origins or stories. Glissant imagined both ... More
The Middle of the Flower: Jess Cochrane reclaims her roots at Sullivan+Strumpf SYDNEY.- Sullivan+Strumpf announced their inaugural solo exhibition of London-based Australian artist Jess Cochrane, opening at their Gadigal/Sydney gallery. Developed in response to a renewed connection with her Hungarian heritage, Cochrane’s latest body is a self-exploration through the intertwined roots of culture, family history and the contemporary landscape. The Middle of the Flower is Cochrane’s first solo exhibition with the gallery following the announcement of her representation in August 2025. As a third generation Hungarian, Jess Cochrane's new work bridges self-exploration with broader questions of familial migration and reclaiming one's cultural heritage. Like many Australians with migrant grandparents, Cochrane articulates both a sense of dislocation with, and desire to strengthen, her cultural ties. The Middle of the Flower teases out these ... More

Galleri Nicolai Wallner now representing Man Yau COPENHAGEN.- Galleri Nicolai Wallner announced the representation of artist Man Yau. Man Yau (b. 1991, Finland) is a sculptor and installation artist based in Helsinki, Finland. Yau's work departs from a deep understanding of materials — how they came to be, across which stretches of time and by whom they were valued, and the ways in which their references may be projected onto ideas and persons today. Gripping onto the memories embedded within a material, Yau works to turn it inside out, revealing the heartbeat underneath. Her material choices shift fluidly across glass, silk ribbons, metal, ceramic, stone, wood, and graphic work, yet each is carefully considered and chosen for its associations — used as a language to explore the feeling of "being on display and under pressure," approached from the perspective of a woman who is visibly of a minority background. ...

Timor-Leste Pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale presents Across Words VENICE.- After over four hundred years of Portuguese colonization and a subsequent 24-year Indonesian occupation beginning in 1975, Timor-Leste gained independence in May 2002, becoming Southeast Asia’s youngest and smallest nation. For its second pavilion at the Venice Biennale—and its first in the Arsenale—Timor-Leste presents Across Words, an exploration of language and oral memory as a generative force within the nation's layered systems of communication. Curator Loredana Pazzini Paracciani said: "Rather than seeking linguistic cohesion, the people of Timor-Leste proudly locate their identity in linguistic multiplicity across ancestral dialects and official languages. Within this diversity, Timor-Leste’s unity emerges—a cohesion found across words." For centuries, the nation’s heritage was carried by more than thirty distinct local languages. It is only ... More
