Appears At Night #51 Fine Art by Chuck Kelton. Unique chemigram and photogram on oxidized silver gelatin paper. (C) 2023. Artwork Size 24” x 20”. Toned with hand applied Gold Chloride and Iron. Framed with Optimum Acrylic for unobstructed viewing. Signed and Dated on Verso.
PHILADELPHIA, PA.-The SPACE Art Gallery is proud to present These Are Not Landscapes..., a new exhibition of unique chemograms and photograms by internationally recognized artist, master printer, and educator Chuck Kelton. This marks Kelton's second solo exhibition at The SPACE and introduces an extraordinary new body of work that continues his decades-long exploration of photography without a camera. At first glance these luminous works appear to depict vast mountain ranges, celestial horizons, rivers, geological formations, and distant planets. Yet they are not photographs of places that actually exist. They are entirely constructed through light, chemistry, oxidation, precious metals, and time. As the exhibition title suggests, These Are Not Landscapes... invites viewers to reconsider not only what they are seeing, but also what photography itself can be. ... More

ADELAIDE.- The Art Gallery of South Australia has acquired an exceedingly rare 16th-century portrait of Queen Elizabeth I, the first portrait of the Tudor monarch to enter a public collection in Australia. The work was purchased in memory of arts philanthropist Diana Ramsay AO (1926-2017), to mark what would have been Diana’s 100th birthday this year. Elizabeth I with prayer book, c.1565, depicts a young Queen Elizabeth I in the early years of her reign, before she later established her tightly controlled portraiture style, and is likely to have been painted to mark the end of the mid-Tudor crisis of 1563. The painting will join AGSA’s only other Tudor portrait, that of her father King Henry VIII, as a highlight of AGSA’s renowned collection of British art. This extraordinary work is now on display in Gallery 12 in AGSA’s Melrose Wing to be enjoyed by all South Australians and visitors to AGSA. The work was purchased through the James & Diana Ramsay Fund, ... More

MANNHEIM.- During the summer months, the Kunsthalle Mannheim is presenting the largest exhibition in Germany devoted to Nouveau Réalisme and its international context in more than 15 years. Featuring around 150 works by artists such as Niki de Saint Phalle, Daniel Spoerri, Yves Klein, Christo, Jean Tinguely, Arman, and César, the exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of this movement, which, from the 1960s onwards, transformed reality itself into the material of art. More than 60 years after the signing of the ‘Déclaration constitutive du Nouveau Réalisme’ in Paris on 27 October 1960, the group of artists around the French art critic Pierre Restany appears today more than ever as part of an international artistic phenomenon. Not only artists such as Arman, César, Christo, Yves Klein, Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely reacted to the profound social changes of the post-war period with new, radical forms of expression – across Europe, the USA and Latin America, a generation ...

GHENT.- This summer, S.M.A.K. highlights the conservation history of Joseph Beuys' iconic Wirtschaftswerte (1980). Visitors will discover not only a landmark work from the museum's collection, but also the story behind its care and preservation. Presented in conjunction with the 31st Congress of the International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (IIC), the exhibition explores the artwork's conservation history and offers insight into the challenges of conserving and restoring contemporary art. Joseph Beuys (1921, Krefeld – 1986, Düsseldorf) is regarded as one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century and is renowned for addressing political and social issues in his work. His installation Wirtschaftswerte (1980) consists of metal racks on which packets of food and other products are displayed. Beuys sourced the merchandise from former East Germany. Standing in front of the racks is a block of plaster, around which paintings from the period of Karl Ma ... More
INAH found two reliefs: one depicting a feline and another showing the god Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli, on the outskirts of the Tula Archaeological Zone.
TULA.- Archaeologists working on a salvage project in Hidalgo have uncovered the remains of an elite Toltec-era structure, along with two carved stone slabs that appear to have once belonged to Pyramid B, one of the most emblematic buildings of the Tula Archaeological Zone. The discovery, announced by Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), was made on the outskirts of the archaeological zone, in the 16 de Enero neighborhood of Tula de Allende, where specialists have been carrying out archaeological salvage work since May 2026 as part of the construction of a water treatment plant. The find offers a new look at life around Tollan Xicocotitlan nearly a thousand years ago. By the 12th century, the city had already moved beyond its period of greatest splendor, which took place between A.D. 900 and 1100. Even so, communities continued to settle around it, drawing on its symbols, architecture ... More

BRISTOL.- One of the most distinctive artists working in the UK today, Jonathan Baldock creates tactile installations that draw on craft traditions, personal history and our deep connection to nature. Held marks a significant moment in his two-decade career, coinciding with the growing critical recognition of his work across the UK and Europe. Spanning ceramics, textiles and sculpture, the exhibition unfolds as a vivid, sensory feast. Rooted in a lifelong connection to the natural world, Baldock’s practice is shaped by inherited skills — sewing, model-making and working with the hands — passed down by his mother and grandmother and rooted in the histories of working-class people. At the exhibition’s centre sits a monumental bear sculpture, newly commissioned by Arnolfini. Titled Bear Hug, it invites visitors into a direct physical encounter — not to be held, but to hold us. The sculpture shifts between comfort and power, drawing on the bear’s layered cultural meanin ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- World Monuments Fund (WMF) today announced Irreplaceable America, a new list recognizing 10 historic places across the United States whose preservation is essential to the richness and complexity of American history as the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. From landmarks of public health and colonial architecture to sites central to Black history, Indigenous heritage, and artistic experimentation, the initiative spotlights places facing urgent preservation needs. “The United States was built by people from every corner of the globe, shaped by Indigenous nations, early settlers, immigrant communities, and generations of cultural exchange,” said Bénédicte de Montlaur, President and CEO of World Monuments Fund. “That complexity gave rise to some of America’s most enduring contributions, from colonial heritage to jazz and hip-hop and the Wright brothers’ invention of powered flight. After decades ... More
TOKYO.- Pace presents Noon Day Night, an exhibition of paintings by William Monk, at its Tokyo gallery from June 30 through August 16. Marking the artist’s first solo show in Japan, Noon Day Night features new and recent works from Monk’s ongoing series exploring liminality and the metaphysical. Drawing inspiration from an array of sources, including classic cinema and psychedelic rock, as well as lived experiences and images that accumulate in his subconscious, Monk paints compositions that occupy a surreal terrain of semi-abstraction. Evocative, vibrant, and often mysterious, his paintings are rooted in the rich art historical traditions of the medium. His recurring Sentinel figure—a guide poised at the threshold between worlds—finds a poetic resonance in Japan, echoing the Buddhist notion of higan, or the other shore, and the cycle of death and rebirth and the attainment of Nirvana. This crossing over or going beyond is seen in Monk’s extensive series, in which he d ... More

Peter Freeman, Inc. pairs paintings by abstract masters Robert Moskowitz and Myron Stout NEW YORK, NY.- Peter Freeman, Inc. presents paintings by Robert Moskowitz and Myron Stout. This is the second exhibition of each artist’s work since announcing representation of their estates (Moskowitz’s first solo show opened during his lifetime). Though they belonged to different generations, there are undeniable parallels between Robert Moskowitz and Myron Stout. They each divided time between New York and historic artist communities—Stout in Provincetown with Hans Hofmann, Lee Krasner, Helen Frankenthaler, and Robert Motherwell; Moskowitz on Cape Bretton Island with Joan Jonas, Philip Glass, Richard Serra, and Robert Frank. While studying under Hans Hofmann in the late 1940s, Myron Stout developed a style that bridged Abstract Expressionism with the anticipation of Minimalism, but existed outside of both. Robert Moskowitz was a prominent ... More

The Contemporary Dayton to debut Niki Johnson's voter-focused 'Pillars of Democracy' DAYTON, OH.- The Contemporary Dayton will present Niki Johnson: Pillars of Democracy, an exhibition by Milwaukee-based artist Niki Johnson exploring civic participation, collective action, and the enduring power of the vote. The exhibition opens Wednesday, July 1, 2026, with a public reception from 6–8 pm and an artist talk at 6:30 pm. Pillars of Democracy is a monumental series of four collaged portraits envisioning Liberty, Justice, Freedom, and Forward progress as first-time voters from Milwaukee. Constructed from discarded stencil paper and leftover spray paint collected during the 2020 installation of Shepard Fairey’s Voting Rights Are Human Rights mural, the series bridges more than a century of voting rights activism through both material and design. Inspired in part by Bertha Boyd’s 1911 suffrage poster Votes for Women, the exhibition foregrounds the central ... More

Royal Ontario Museum receives $1-million gift from The Browning Watt Foundation TORONTO.- The Royal Ontario Museum announced a $1-million gift from The Browning Watt Foundation to support the display of a monumental Chinese bronze bell –Temple bell of Wei Bin, cast in 1518 during the Ming dynasty – directly inside the Museum’s future Hennick Entrance. The revitalized entrance is part of OpenROM, a sweeping transformation of Canada’s largest museum, and will feature five monumental objects to greet visitors upon arrival. Standing two metres tall and intricately adorned with carved motifs and inscriptions, the bronze bell is among the most significant and impressive examples of early 16th-century Chinese works in ROM’s collections, and one of the largest of its kind still in existence. Cast by order of Wei Bin, a powerful advisor to Emperor Zhengde (r. 1505-1520), and later acquired in 1920 for the Museum by collector George Crofts ... More
BIM'26 contemporary art exhibition 'Becoming the Ocean' to open in Tunis TUNIS.- There are moments in history when systems do not simply decline. They intensify. Political orders cling more fiercely to exhausted certainties. Borders harden. Surveillance expands. Ecological collapse accelerates. Colonial logics return in new forms. What appears as stability often reveals itself as a desperate attempt to preserve a world already slipping away. Psychologists describe this phenomenon as an extinction burst: the moment a behaviour intensifies just before it loses its power. Becoming the Ocean unfolds from within this condition. Bringing together sixteen newly commissioned artists from across Africa, the Arab world, Latin America, Asia, and their diasporas, the exhibition explores how people live through moments when inherited structures no longer provide orientation and the future remains difficult to imagine. The exhibition takes its title from ... More
Museum of Contemporary Art, Roskilde presents Gritar, No Caer by Francesco Fonassi ROSKILDE.- Gritar, No Caer unfolds in the Zone of Silence, a remote desert area on the edge of the Mapimi Biosphere Reserve in Durango, Mexico. Long surrounded by popular and pseudoscientific belief—from meteorite strikes to military experiments and unexplained electromagnetic anomalies—the area is said to disrupt radio transmission itself, and provides both the geographic and the symbolic core of the work. During a research trip to the region, the Italian artist Francesco Fonassi conducted a series of radio experiments using a pickup truck fitted out as a mobile broadcast unit: a sound system, tape recorders, a shortwave transmitter/receiver, and samplers, used to establish radio bridges across different points in the desert. Rather than documenting the landscape through field recording, the work proposes a form of active listening that contaminates and interrogates ... More
National Portrait Gallery unveils painting of former Gallery director, Nicholas Cullinan, by Elizabeth Peyton LONDON.- The National Portrait Gallery has unveiled a new portrait of its former Director, Nicholas Cullinan, by celebrated American artist Elizabeth Peyton. The work was commissioned to mark Dr Nicholas Cullinan’s tenure as Director of the National Portrait Gallery (2015-2024), and has been generously given by the artist to the Gallery. It is now on permanent display in Room 30. The portrait continues the National Portrait Gallery's longstanding tradition of representing its former directors. Known for her intimate, luminous depictions of her sitters, Peyton brings her distinctive style to this historic lineage. The portrait was done from life with sittings taking place between Paris where the artist is based, and London where the sitter lives. Peyton and Cullinan grew close whilst working on the artist’s retrospective Elizabeth Peyton: Aire and Angels held at the NPG ... More
All About Photo presents 'Where the Earth Remembers' by Oliver Klink WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA.- Across the rural landscapes of Central and Eastern Europe, centuries-old traditions continue to shape everyday life. In Where the Earth Remembers, award-winning photographer Oliver Klink turns his attention to communities where agricultural work, religious faith, and family traditions remain closely connected to the land, even as modernization slowly transforms these places. Rather than focusing on picturesque villages or disappearing customs alone, Klink is interested in the people who continue to live these traditions. His black-and-white photographs reveal lives defined by routine, hard work, and quiet resilience. Weathered homes, scarred hands, modest interiors, and moments of prayer speak of generations who have built their lives around the same fields, churches, and seasonal rhythms. Across much of the region, ... More
