NEW YORK, NY.-L’SPACE Gallery presents Where Time Stands Still, a solo exhibition by internationally acclaimed Argentine artist Nicola Costantino on view November 5 - December 19, 2026. A leading figure in contemporary Latin American art, Costantino is known for her provocative and multidisciplinary practice, which has challenged conventional ideas of beauty, identity, desire, and the human body for more than three decades. She represented Argentina at the 2013 Venice Biennale, and her work is held in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York. In this new chapter of her practice, Costantino turns toward beauty itself as a form of provocation. Far from being merely decorative or reassuring, beauty can be unsettling, disturbing, and even threatening. Through flowers and botanical forms, the artist continues her longstanding exploration of mortality, desire, and the boundaries between the human and natural worlds. Drawi ... More

Together with Vu Cao Dam’s dreamlike image of a musician, they form the heart of an eight-work offering of Vietnamese modernism in Heritage’s Nov. 19 European Art Signature® Auction. The group joins works by Paul Gauguin, Camille Claudel, Albrecht Dürer, Bartolomeo Passerotti and John Constable in a sale that rewards close looking across five centuries of art. “This group offers collectors a wonderful opportunity to follow Lê Phô’s development across several decades and to see his work in conversation with Vu Cao Dam’s,” says Marianne Berardi, Heritage’s Co-Director of European ...

AMSTERDAM.- The Stedelijk Museum is presenting a landmark retrospective of Yayoi Kusama, one of the most influential and pioneering artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. This expansive exhibition explores more than seven decades of Kusama’s groundbreaking work. The exhibition delves into the wide range of artistic media Kusama has worked with over the years, including painting, sculpture, installations, drawing, fashion, collage, happenings, and more. Yayoi Kusama (1929 - 2026) is internationally renowned for her exploration of themes such as infinity, self-obliteration, and repetition. Her distinctive use of polka dots, mirror rooms, and immersive installations has become emblematic of her artistic vision. Kusama’s work invites viewers into dynamic environments that blur the boundaries between the observer and the infinite, challenging perceptions of space and the self. One of the highlights of the exhibition will be a specially created ... More
ABU DHABI.- Gagosian will participate in Frieze Abu Dhabi with a solo presentation of sculptures, prints, drawings, and collages produced by Roy Lichtenstein between 1965 and 1995. This coincides with Roy Lichtenstein: Like New, a major retrospective that opened at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, on October 11. In the Abu Dhabi presentation, portraits, landscapes, interiors, and still life compositions reinforce the essential role of work on paper in the American Pop art progenitor’s oeuvre. These works offer an array of characteristically witty and arresting images that together form an index to their maker’s thematic preoccupations and unmistakable visual language. Through series of drawings and prints in particular, Lichtenstein alludes to art historical styles, establishing sequences within which conventional representation shifts gradually toward more abstract interpretation. By the early 1970s, many artists were treating print processes that had ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Presented in collaboration with Galleria dello Scudo, Lévy Gorvy Dayan will open Leoncillo and the Soul of Clay on November 4, 2026, at 19 East 64th Street, New York. The exhibition will mark the first solo presentation of the artist in New York in more than three decades. Focusing on the radical body of sculpture Leoncillo created in the last ten years of his life from the late 1950s to the 1960s, the presentation honors the artist's singular relationship to the ceramic medium—revealing how clay and terracotta acted not only as Leoncillo's primary materials, but also as an eternal extension of the artist himself. Among the most significant sculptors of the twentieth century, Leoncillo Leonardi—known as Leoncillo—worked with clay from childhood to his earliest days as an artist. During his career, he first created figurative ceramic sculptures, reflecting Baroque and Cubist influences, ... More
PARIS.- GALLERIA CONTINUA / Les Moulins presents L’eau sans rivière, a solo exhibition by Sislej Xhafa bringing together works created over more than two decades of artistic practice, new works conceived specifically for the occasion, and Le Village de l’Imagination, a project developed with children and young people from the local community.

Yinka Shonibare, Wind Sculpture in Bronze (SG) VII, 2026. Bronze, hand-painted with Dutch wax pattern, 200 × 150 × 137 cm (78 3/4 × 59 × 54 in.).
PARIS.- Mennour is presenting Yinka Shonibare’s first solo exhibition in Paris entitled “The Wind, the Earth and the Fire” at 5 rue du Pont de Lodi. The show brings various ongoing bodies of work into dialogue, including new quilts, hand-painted bronze and textile sculptures, and positions the multidisciplinary artist as one of the leading voices to explore postcolonialism and hybridity in contemporary art. Born in London, raised in Lagos, Nigeria, Shonibare has always experienced the world by navigating, and somehow bridging, distinct cultures. Decolonial studies continue to show how defining a sense of identity and belonging is far more complex than solely relying on what can be found in a national archive. By tracing the history of Dutch wax textiles, Shonibare uncovers the deep layers of complexity embedded within them and conveys the impossibility of pinning down an artifact as authentic. Rooted in Indonesian ... More

Together, these projects reflect on 150 years of collecting, teaching, and making while looking toward the museum’s future. “The ... More

MADRID.- Colnaghi Madrid announced its participation in FERIARTE 2026, where it will present a selection of paintings and sculpture dating from the sixteenth to the early twentieth century, tracing the varied forms of religious, dynastic and domestic image-making across Spain and its overseas territories. Highlights include Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo's pair of full-length portraits, Portrait of King Philip IV of Spain in Hunting Dress and Portrait of Cardinal-Infante Don Fernando of Austria in Hunting Dress, each nearly two metres high. The paintings bring together brothers whose lives placed them at the centre of Habsburg court and military history. Philip IV, king from 1621 to 1665, was a major patron of the arts and of Diego Velázquez, Mazo's father-in-law and principal artistic model. Don Fernando was appointed cardinal and Archbishop of Toledo at the age of ten, but went on to serve the monarchy as a soldier and governor. Named governor of the Spanish Netherlands in 1632, he joined im ... More

Fotografiska Berlin spotlights Korean-born, Berlin-based artist Miji Ih BERLIN.- In 2020, the Ari Statue of Peace was installed in Berlin's Moabit neighborhood. It was intended to commemorate the so-called "comfort women" across the Asia-Pacific region, who were forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War II. The statue also honored the courage of survivors who broke decades of silence about their experiences. Its installation prompted protests from the Japanese government and sparked a broad public debate about how the "comfort women" are remembered. For Miji Ih, the Statue of Peace became the starting point for her engagement with the so-called "comfort women," culminating in Mouths: On Water and Whisky, which connects their history with the lived realities of women around U.S. military bases in Japan, South Korea, and Germany. From 4 November 2026, through 13 January ... More

This two-part installation turns the terrace windows facing Millennium Park into a billboard—viewable from across the street and the park below—with the phrase “Let yourself be free,” drawn from Aretha Franklin’s 1968 recording of “Think.” Another freestanding sign by Cokes displays two ...

Kunsthaus Biel presents Switzerland's first museum exhibition of Chicanx art BIEL/BIENNE.- For the first time in Switzerland, «Los Four & Friends» presents an exhibition of Chicanx art in a museum. It showcases the artistic production of Los Four, a Chicano art collective active in California between 1973 and 1984. Centring the history of the collective, the exhibition expands into an exploration of Chicanx art in Los Angeles, from the 1970s to the present. «Chicano», «Chicana» or «Chicanx¹» is a self-defined identity adopted by people of Mexican descent in the United States. Reclaimed during the 1960s Chicano civil rights movement («El Movimiento»), the term became a political and cultural expression of pride in Mexican heritage and a resistance to discrimination. «El Movimiento» fought for economic justice, political representation, educational reform, and the reclamation of Mexican-American identity. Chicanx art cannot ... More
Palais de Tokyo presents Valérie John's indigo-driven survey 'So Black It Turns Blue' PARIS.- Valérie John proposes to explore indigo blue as a material, a memory and a gesture. From Martinique to West Africa, her œuvre brings together identities and stories in assemblages that constitute sensory traces of the past. Entitled “I telman nwè ki i blé (So Black It Turns Blue)”, this exhibition presents a selection of Valérie John’s work dating back to the 1990s and her return to Martinique, where she set up a “workshop-work-of-art”. This choice was a commitment to pursuing her œuvre through an immersion in her milieu, one rooted in the island’s translocal memory and in a shifting gesture of identity construction. At the Palais de Tokyo, she proposes an immersion in indigo and its metamorphoses, from the deepest blues to the brightest blacks. She draws on a palette charged with different forms of symbolism linked to water, grief, transatlantic memory, reparation ... More
Marc Selwyn Fine Art opens an exhibition of paintings by Alberto Valdés BEVERLY HILLS, CA.- Marc Selwyn Fine Art presents an exhibition of paintings by Alberto Valdés, whose work brings ancient Mesoamerican imagery into dialogue with mid-century modernism. Drawing on his Mexican-American heritage, Valdés' evocative figurative and abstract compositions explore history, mysticism, and the natural world. A Beginning reveals a deeply personal vision shaped by ancestral memory and modern experimentation. Alberto Valdés belongs to a generation of Mexican-American artists whose mid-20th century practices predated - yet were intrinsically connected to - El Movimiento, the Chicana/o movement for social justice that gained momentum across the United States during the Vietnam War era. Born in 1918 in El Paso, Texas, Valdés moved with his family between the U.S. and Mexico before permanently settling in Los ... More

Opening at the Beverly Hills gallery on November 4, 2026, the presentation is curated by the Richard Avedon Foundation. In the summer of 1956, Avedon was in Paris consulting for Funny Face, the 1957 musical directed by Stanley Donen and starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire that was loosely based on Avedon’s own improbable life as a young photographer. He briefly considered relinquishing his career in photography for film directing, and retained ... More
