Vincent van Gogh, Sunflowers, 1889, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, (Vincent van Gogh Foundation).
AMSTERDAM.- The Van Gogh Museum presents Yellow. Beyond Van Gogh’s Colour, a new exhibition that will open on 13 February 2026. Using Vincent van Gogh’s iconic Sunflowers (1889) as a point of departure, the exhibition shows how the colour became a powerful means of expressing emotions, ideas and ideals – from warmth and energy to modernity, rebellion and spirituality – in the period around 1900. Van Gogh was fascinated by the intense light of the South of France. In Arles, he found the colour he sought. He wrote to his brother Theo: ‘Sunshine, a light which, for want of a better word I can only call yellow – pale sulphur yellow, pale lemon, gold. How beautiful yellow is!’ Thanks to the discovery of new pigments, Van Gogh and his contemporaries were able to use yellow with unprecedented intensity. It was as if their paintings glowed. ... More

LONDON.- A collection of four works by leading luminaries of Impressionist and Modern art will be offered this March at Sotheby’s London. Spanning half a century of artistic innovation, with each work hugely significant in its own right, the group charts the evolution of modernism through some of its most celebrated figures – from a rare, sun-drenched Italian Riviera garden by Claude Monet, formerly in the collection of John Singer Sargent, and Paul Signac’s radiant Marseille harbour, long cherished within the artist’s family, to Fernand Léger’s dynamic machine- age vision of the modern city, closely related to a key work now in the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and Edgar Degas’s incisive view of the ballet backstage. With a combined estimate of £17-24 million, the paintings will be offered in Sotheby’s Modern C Contemporary Evening Auction ... More
One of just 31 road specified examples built, the Le Mans-bred icon is estimated at $6.5 million to $8 million and headlines the company’s 2026 Miami sale during ModaMiami.
MIAMI, FLA.- RM Sotheby’s today announced the headline offering for its 2026 Miami sale during ModaMiami: a 1967 Ford GT40 Mk I road car, chassis P/1058, one of just 31 road specified examples produced. Estimated at $6,500,000 to $8,000,000 USD, the GT40 represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a street-configured version of one of the most celebrated endurance racing machines ever created, sharing its DNA with the program that delivered four consecutive overall victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (1966–1969). Conceived in an era defined by international motorsport rivalry, the GT40 remains among the most historically significant competition car programs of the 20th century. While the model’s racing achievements are widely known, the road specified Mk I occupies an even ... More
StudioToGallery Founder Sonia Borrell with a Takashi Murakami from her collection.
LONDON.-StudioToGallery, a new platform aimed at making art world mentorship accessible for unrepresented artists, has been launched by international art collector and curator Sonia Borrell. The platform costs an annual fee of $50 to join. For this, artists from across the world have access to weekly seminars, monthly live Q&As, a monthly session with a psychologist or wellbeing expert, artist workshops, and a platform to showcase or sell their work. For Sonia Borrell the mission is clear: “The vast majority of visual artists are unrepresented. Yet these artists are at the heart of local creative communities around the world. By making art mentorship and access affordable, I know we can unlock the potential of the incredible artists who currently feel shut out by the art world.” “Sonia Borrell’s project to discover tomorrow’s artistic talent is a cultural investment that enriches both her ...

NEW YORK, NY.- For his debut exhibition with Hauser & Wirth, Qiu Xiaofei presents new paintings and works on paper inspired by his discovery of previously unknown family photographs—a cache of images uncovered after the death of the artist’s father. With ‘The Theater of Wither and Thrive,’ Qiu considers the ceaseless evolution of the world and the ways in which that unpredictable process intersects with the subtle and elusive formation of personal memory. His work gives shape to these phenomena, drawing on Chinese cultural and philosophical traditions, as well as the influence of poets Robert Lowell and Emily Dickinson. Nostalgia, loss and wonder are distilled into compositions that suggest the vastness of the theater of life: presence and absence, prosperity and decline, grand histories and individual emotions gyre in the tidal dramas of human experience. The family photographs ... More
Portrait of Florentina Holzinger, 2024. Photo: Elsa Okazaki.
SALZBURG.- Thaddaeus Ropac welcomes acclaimed Austrian multidisciplinary artist Florentina Holzinger to the gallery, whose practice is radically reshaping the contemporary artistic landscape. Trained in choreography, Holzinger moved early from dance towards producing shows that expand her work to theatre, opera and visual arts. Combining extreme physicality with theatrical precision to probe the limits of corporeal agency, she deliberately operates across and between established artistic categories, while critically engaging with their histories, and blends legitimised ‘high’ culture with pop and countercultural currents to unsettle the lines between spectacle and subversion. Selected to represent Austria at the forthcoming Biennale Arte 2026, Venice, her presentation SEAWORLD VENICE will expand beyond the pavilion and across the city through ... More
Lotus L. Kang.
PARIS.- Esther Schipper Paris is presenting Printemps 2026 with works by Saâdane Afif, Lotus L. Kang, Tuan Andrew Nguyen, Celeste Rapone, and Rafa Silvares. The turning of the seasons brings the awe-inspiring energies of spring, which break through the fierce grip of winter every year. Paradoxically, its power, promise and sweetness never fail to surprise. Printemps 2026 celebrates these forces of renewal and features the work of five artists who have recently joined the gallery. Building on the gallery’s pioneering program, Printemps 2026 represents a continued commitment to supporting practices that push the boundaries of a given medium and redefine exhibition formats. Suffused with poetry and humor, Saâdane Afif’s neo-conceptual practice draws on a rich network of collaborators from diverse fields. Using an acute sensitivity towards process and space, Lotus L. Kang’s practice reflects on impermanence, inheritance, memory, ... More
BERLIN.- C/O Berlin is presenting the exhibition Dörte Eißfeldt. Archipelago from Feb 7 to Jun 10, 2026. “Photographs are like whales that are capable of carrying entire islands,” writes photographer Dörte Eißfeldt (b. 1950), exploring the world around us, and the medium itself, with a gaze that is at once tender, poetic, and ever curious. One of Germany’s most important experimental photographers, the artist has produced over nearly five decades a multivalent body of work open to constant reinterpretation. With Archipelago, she creates a space for these island groups of meaning, memory, analogy, and fleeting impressions. Nothing in Eißfeldt’s photographs is as it seems. She works with fragments of reality rather than simply depicting it. Photography, in her work, becomes synonymous with transformation. A snowball melts in one image, in another it seems to turn rock-like and celestial. A knife blade appears as a megalith. Surfaces shift in texture, skin turns metallic, ... More

LONDON.- The Design Museum presents work by designer and artist Simone Brewster for its second iteration of PLATFORM, an annual free-to-visit display that makes contemporary design practice more accessible. Opening on 13 February 2026, this display marks the London-based designer’s first museum show, exhibiting objects spanning architecture, furniture, jewellery, collectible design and unveiling brand-new works. Spanning four sections entitled Passages, Everyday Ornaments, Scales of Emotion and Body Narratives, this monographic display explores Brewster’s multidisciplinary practice, as well as the rich narratives and histories she imbues within her designs. Working across a variety of scale and disciplines, Brewster’s practice challenges the conceptions of what is beautiful and valuable. Originally trained in architecture, Brewster’s career has evolved to include sculpture and later product design. As such, her forms often fuse architectural and sculptural ... More

VENICE.- On the occasion of the centenary of the French journal Cahiers d’Art, founded in 1926 by art historian Christian Zervos, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection joins international celebrations with a special installation dedicated to the renowned publication in the galleries of its permanent collection. A selection of ten issues of the historic journal, spanning from the 1920s to the 1950s, is presented in dialogue with the museum’s iconic works, highlighting the crucial role Cahiers d’Art played in establishing modernist visual culture and the artistic and cultural debate that shaped the twentieth century. Founded in Paris as a journal, publishing house, and gallery, Cahiers d’Art became an experimental workshop where artists, writers, and intellectuals contributed to defining a new aesthetic and theoretical language. Its pages featured artists Alexander Calder, Claude Cahun, Marcel Duchamp, Vasily Kandinsky, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Meret Oppenheim, and Pablo Picasso, a ... More

Isabelle Hayeur showcases 12 years of documentary photography at the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris PARIS.- Isabelle Hayeur is participating in the upcoming group exhibition "Contrast and Indifference" at the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris, where she presents a selection of documentary photographs created between 2012 and 2024. These works reflect her long-standing engagement with issues of environmental transformation, urban development, and the social dynamics that shape our landscapes. Hayeur’s art practice explores the relations between nature and the built environment, focusing on the conflicts and tensions that emerge within these shifting territories. The artists brought together in the exhibition "Contrast and Indifference" travel the world, constantly confronting foreign contexts into which they allow themselves to enter, gently and attentively, and bear witness to what happens there. Travel is essential to their approach, as is a form of solitude conducive to observation ... More
Yashua Klos redefines resilience in second solo exhibition at Sikkema Malloy Jenkins NEW YORK, NY.- Sikkema Malloy Jenkins is presenting Proposal for a Monument, an exhibition of new work by Yashua Klos on view from February 12 through March 21, 2026. Proposal for a Monument marks Klos’s second solo exhibition with Sikkema Malloy Jenkins. In his practice, Yashua Klos explores how identity—particularly Black identity—is constructed as a means of survival, adaptation, and empowerment. Proposal for a Monument features a selection of recent large-scale woodblock print collages. In this body of work, Klos revisits imagery he first began exploring in 2015, of dimensional portrait busts intersected by grids, planes, wood, and concrete blocks. The integration of building materials and architectural elements into the collages alludes to the built environment, and specifically to the urban area of Klos’s hometown, Chicago—a city indelibly shaped ...

Theatrical frames: Guglielmo Castelli debuts at Kunsthalle Wien with "Sweet Baby Motel" VIENNA.- Kunsthalle Wien presents the first exhibition in Austria by Guglielmo Castelli (b. 1987, Turin). The exhibition at Karlsplatz, curated by Sarah Crowe, comprises an entirely new body of work including painting, sculpture and a site-specific mural. “I’m interested in the fact that the pictorial body, even if dismembered, remains a single body. Just like at the theatre or at the cinema, you have a scene before and a scene after, but what happens in that moment has a circumscribed temporality. […] That’s the part which interests me, the fact of having a representation which is really a frame that is a universe unto itself.” —Guglielmo Castelli Trained in theatrical scenography, Castelli has developed a distinctive iconography that draws upon the history of painting, architecture and literature. His compositions are characterised by an earthy, nocturnal palette and a fluid, ... More
Donyel Ivy-Royal debuts New York solo at David Peter Francis NEW YORK, NY.- David Peter Francis presents A flower in the ending, a solo exhibition by Brooklyn-based artist Donyel Ivy-Royal— his first in New York. Working in equal parts across painting, photography, sound, and installation, Ivy-Royal’s practice collapses past and present timelines into devoted tributes, born from a lineage of images, places, and loved ones. Having developed a language of mark-making through early days in graffiti, impermanence found function as a foundation, extending beyond the personal or cognitive. What one may deem worthy of eradication—in the instance of street art, a power washing or a painting over—provides ample room for reification. A wall becomes source/texture, sequences of digital and analog photographs become basis for shape, and sound recordings serve as fodder for visual translation. As with us all, the artist’s personal ... More
Museum Angewandte Kunst and saasfee*pavillon explore the creative power of AI FRANKFURT.- Generative AI systems have become deeply embedded in our everyday lives and are increasingly shaping our ideas about society, the world and ourselves. Generated images, texts and videos create new worlds—based on selective data, often non-representative perspectives and economic interests. Worlding stands for the ongoing performative process that produces worlds and worldviews. Worlding is therefore never complete and always negotiable. Art is particularly well suited for simulating and reflecting on new worldings. This ongoing process of worlding, especially through AI technologies, is the focus of this thematic group exhibition, which is being created in cooperation between the Museum Angewandte Kunst Frankfurt and saasfee*pavillon. An interdisciplinary team from the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach led by Alex Oppermann (Professor ... More
Anna Barham's first major German solo show reclaims the friction of language KARLSRUHE.- In a digital context that seduces us into believing in seamless and instantaneous communication, the bodily friction in language becomes a form of interference that must be smoothed away. Systems such as automatic speech recognition are characterised by hegemonic notions about which voices and which linguistic forms are worth recognising. Anna Barham (*1974, Sutton Coldfield)—who presents her first major solo exhibition in Germany at Badischer Kunstverein—resists this smoothening of language and instead pushes the untranslatable and the irreducible into sharp focus. Her practice links language with the visual and the performative, crystallising associative meanings that might be inherent in a word, yet emerge only through the displacement of its individual elements. Barham treats language as both plastic and sonic material and the exhibition ... More
From deconstruction to action: "It Will Destroy You" opens at the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art CHICAGO, IL.- The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art presents It Will Destroy You, a powerful group exhibition curated by Isaiah Lee and Samiah Fulcher. The exhibition opens February 13, 2026, and will run through April 19, 2026, with an artist talk scheduled for Friday, March 6, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. It Will Destroy You brings together works by 23 contemporary artists who interrogate the deconstruction of systems and structures that have long governed our lives. Through painting, sculpture, installation, and video, the exhibition reflects on themes of self-preservation and reconciliation as we navigate what the curators describe as a "crumbling socio-political landscape built on violence, greed, corruption, and brutality." If the average life cycle of an empire is 250 years, the American experiment is less than two years from its demise. This exhibition invites viewers ... More
Dove Allouche explores the building blocks of life at Peter Freeman, Inc. PARIS.- Peter Freeman, Inc. is presenting Dove Allouche's first exhibition at the Paris location, and his fourth collaboration with the gallery. Entitled CHNOPS, it brings together nine works from the new photographic series Halley (2024–2025), as well as six of the 96 color photographs from his series Tableau Périodique (2024). Before Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, and finally Edmond Halley understood that the movement of comets across the sky obeyed the same laws as the movement of planets, comets were viewed with fear and superstition—as evidenced by Voltaire's beautiful verses on the subject, written in 1738: "Comets, feared like thunder, cease to terrify the peoples of the Earth. Complete your course in an immense ellipse, ascend, descend near the star of days, launch your fires, fly, and returning endlessly, revive the old age of exhausted worlds." Halley's Comet, ... More
Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden presents Katharina Wulff: Arabesques in Arabesques BADEN-BADEN.- The Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden presents Arabesques in Arabesques, the most comprehensive exhibition of work by the painter Katharina Wulff (b. 1968, Berlin) to date. The show includes paintings, drawings, and architecture from more than three decades of artistic activity. Based on observation in the broadest sense, Wulff’s meticulously composed tableaux of everyday scenes are realistic in the tradition of realism. They reflect her interest in landscapes, architecture, and people—their social position, clothing and attributes, physical bearing, and movements. Featuring forty works from collections around the globe, the exhibition provides an overview of the artist’s oeuvre, which was shaped by the experience and memories of growing up in East Berlin, the Berlin art world in the 1990s, and the impact of the different cultures in which the artist ...

Yinka Shonibare CBE RA brings 20-year retrospective to Winchester WINCHESTER.- This February, Hampshire Cultural Trust will present an exhibition of the work of internationally acclaimed British artist Yinka Shonibare CBE RA (b.1962) at The Arc in Winchester. Shonibare’s interdisciplinary practice uses citations of Western art history and literature to question the validity of contemporary cultural and national identities within the context of globalisation. Through examining race, class and the construction of cultural identity, his works comment on the tangled interrelationship between Africa and Europe, and their respective economic and political histories. Designed to tempt in as well as confront, Shonibare is best known for the bright, colourful fabrics and patterns that adorn his sumptuous scenes – themselves, a statement of power. Through beauty and humour, Shonibare strikes up a serious conversation. The exhibition will feature over 40 ... More
