NEW YORK, NY.- From January 15 through April 19, 2026, the Morgan Library & Museum will display the painting Pietà (also known as Dead Christ Supported by Angels) (ca. 1470) by Giovanni Bellini (1424/26–1516), bringing this early Renaissance masterpiece to the United States for the first time. The exceptional loan of this masterwork from the Museo della Città in Rimini, Italy, follows a comprehensive conservation treatment made possible by Venetian Heritage, Inc. The painting will be on view in J. Pierpont Morgan’s study within the Morgan’s historic library, alongside some of the finest Renaissance art collected by Morgan himself, including paintings by Hans Memling and Perugino and sculptures by Antonio Rossellino. “The Morgan is delighted not only to bring Bellini’s painting to the United States for the first time but also to unveil this masterpiece to the public following its eagerly awaited restoration, and for this we are deeply grateful to Venetian Heritage,” said ...

DRESDEN.- The thunder of hooves, the clash of steel, and the triumphant call of trumpets are once again echoing through Dresden’s Royal Palace. Beginning December 11, 2025, the Great Hall (Riesensaal) of the Dresdner Residenzschloss has been transformed into a vivid, multisensory journey into the world of Renaissance knightly tournaments with Aufgalopp — The Multimedia Tournament Festival, on view through January 4, 2026.

Instead, they are animated through an immersive installation that surrounds visitors with sound, moving images, and ... More

LONDON.- For the first time, scientists at the Natural History Museum have completed a comprehensive analysis of the individual known as Beachy Head Woman, and today reveal that she originated from southern England. • The skeletal remains of this Roman-aged female individual were uncovered in the collections of Eastbourne Town Hall in 2012. Subsequent research suggested her origins were in sub-Saharan Africa; theories later emerged that she originated from the Mediterranean. • The supposed changing identity of the Beachy Head Woman over the last decade shows how important it is for scientists to revisit previous findings using new methods. The identity of a Roman-era individual found in southern England has finally been resolved after scientists at the Natural History Museum were able ... More

Tom Lloyd standing in front of unknown artwork, 1968. Photographer unknown.
HARLEM, NY.- One of many inaugural exhibitions presented in the Studio Museum in Harlem’s new building, Tom Lloyd is a comprehensive display of the work of Tom Lloyd (1929–1996), the artist, educator, and activist whose innovative practice was the subject of the institution’s opening exhibition in 1968. When the Studio Museum opened in a rented loft on Fifth Avenue, its first solo exhibition was Electronic Refractions II, a presentation of Lloyd’s colorful abstract sculptures with lights that flashed in electronically programmed patterns. Lloyd began making these works in 1965 with Alan Sussman, an engineer at Radio Corporation of America (RCA), in a trailblazing cross-disciplinary collaboration that bridged the gap between the arts and sciences. This was one year before a group of artists and engineers founded the organization Experiments in Art and Technology (E. A.T.) to encourage partnerships between these fields. Inspired by everyday urban sights such as traffic signals and ... More

MADRID.- Lady Tz’aka’ab Ajaw, the ‘Red Queen’ of Palenque is the title of a special presentation at the Museo Thyssen of the funerary regalia of this historical figure from the 7th-century Mayan civilization, the wife of K’inich Janaab’ Pakal (known as Pakal the Great) who was one of the most important rulers of the city-state of Palenque (Chiapas, Mexico). Loaned from the Museo de Sitio de Palenque Alberto Ruz L’Huillier, the regalia consists of bracelets, necklaces and a funerary mask, among other objects, which demonstrate the power and relevance of women of the ruling elite of the time. The display is part of the exhibition Half the World. Women in indigenous Mexico organised by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation – through the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) – and the National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico, in collaboration with the Spanish Ministry of Culture ...

DRESDEN.- The Albertinum in Dresden has added a powerful and long-overdue work to its collection: Aufbruch Straße (1988) by Leipzig-based painter Doris Ziegler. Acquired with the support of the Kulturstiftung der Länder and its Friends’ Association, the painting strengthens the museum’s holdings of art from the former GDR—an area that still carries significant gaps, especially when it comes to women artists. At first glance, Aufbruch Straße feels restrained and subdued. But beneath its surface lies a dense emotional charge. Painted just one year before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the work captures the sense of paralysis, uncertainty, and quiet anticipation that marked the final years of the East German state. It is not a loud or overtly political image. Instead, it speaks through atmosphere—through a feeling of being stuck, waiting, and longing for change without yet knowing what form that change ... More

PARIS.- In 2026, Pinault Collection opens a new exhibition season that explores the ways in which artists reveal, transform, and disrupt our perception of the world. The programming in Paris and Venice composes a shared narrative of creation that addresses the tensions of the present, reinterprets visual legacies, and gives rise to forms that render tangible both the fractures and continuities of our era. In Paris, the Bourse de Commerce’s exhibition "Clair-obscur" features a selection of modern and contemporary works from the Pinault Collection in which light clashes with the shadows of our world. In the autumn, for the first time ever, the museum is devoting a major exhibition entirely to photography, featuring emblematic images that trace two centuries of ways of looking at the world. The exhibition is being presented on the occasion of the bicentennial of the medium’s invention. In Venice, a new ... More

Ron Norsworthy, Trying to Remember the Future, 2025. Mixed media collage in relief on wood panel.
NEW YORK, NY.- Edwynn Houk Gallery is presenting Ron Norsworthy: American Dream, on view from November 14, 2025 through January 17, 2026. This marks Norsworthy’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. American Dream envisions the domestic interiors of Black middle-class life in scenes that hover between the achieved and the dreamed. The series includes ten collaged reliefs, made from photographs layered up to four inches deep. In these works, the construction remains visible in raw plywood edges, reflecting both the labor of cultural ascendancy and the performance that makes it visible. Also on view are three Layer Maps, a new extension of Norsworthy’s process. Each work on paper translates the layered build of the reliefs into precise, color-blocked studies. At first glance, Norsworthy’s interiors appear orderly and composed, but their stability quickly falters. Walls tilt, mirrors double, and staircases lead to unseen stories. The architecture seems self-aware, both material and me ... More

Mendes Wood DM Sao Paulo opens solo exhibition of works by Antonio Obá SAO PAULO.- Birth is never an inaugural moment – that spark that triggers the first breath – dissociating oneself from the womb to come into the light (sometimes darkness) of day. It is a journey, a reinvention. Perhaps that is why Nascimento was the title, chosen by Antonio Obá, to welcome these works. They bear the mark of self-reference, with an emphasis on human experiences, which characterizes his work and seek to synthesize his admiration for life and the things of the world. The artist recognizes, however, that crossing it requires bravery. Thus, he begins in the company of Ogum, the lord of all war, and Iansã, the lady of movement, represented on a path lined with snake plant and variegated snake plant. Once this portal is crossed, objects appear that are made from materials that recur in his poetics: cowrie shells, which symbolize exchange and a system ... More

Roberto Burle Marx's painting practice to take center stage in a landmark New York exhibition NEW YORK, NY.- Andrew Kreps Gallery announces an exhibition of works by Roberto Burle Marx (b.1909, São Paulo, d, 1994, Rio de Janeiro.) A polymath, and pioneer of both Brazilian Modernism and ecological conservation, Burle Marx left a lasting impact on the public and private landscapes of Brazil. This exhibition, organized in collaboration with Almeida & Dale, is the first in New York devoted solely to his painting practice and spans five decades of his career. Burle Marx spent his early life in Rio de Janeiro, and received his first formal artistic education following a move to Berlin in the late 1920s. Studying at the Degner Klemm School, his exposure to the European Avant-Garde, particularly the works of Picasso, Van Gogh, and German Expressionism, deeply influenced his early artistic practice. Simultaneously, an encounter with Brazilian species of plants, in the Dahlem ... More
