PARIS.- On March 25, Christie's is proud to present at auction a group of thirty masterpieces from the collection of Arthur Georges Veil-Picard. Rarely exhibited, this collection—whose works are often known only through black-and-white reproductions—remains among the most mysterious and coveted. Featuring works by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Hubert Robert, Jean-Antoine Watteau, Gabriel de Saint-Aubin, Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, and Marie-Suzanne Roslin, the sale brings together the greatest names in 18th-century French painting and could, on its own, embody this golden age of art history in France. A true labor of love for the 18th century, the collection perfectly illustrates the joviality, sense of pleasure, and freedom so characteristic of the period. Estimated at €5 to €8 million, this exceptional ensemble represents a long-awaited event for collectors in search of masterpieces. Pierre Etienne, Vice President of Christie's France and International Director of the Old Masters D ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Galerie Lelong, New York, opened Transcend/Transport: Paintings 1965 - 1976, a solo exhibition by Elda Cerrato, marking her first in New York. Although celebrated across Latin America throughout her career, her singular contributions to global modernism have yet to be fully recognized internationally. Transcend/Transport: Paintings 1965 - 1976 presents paintings from a critical period in Cerrato's art and life, marked by her movement between Venezuela and Argentina, and the emergence of series and subjects that would define her enduring practice. Integrating academic, spiritual, and philosophical engagement into her paintings from this period, Cerrato illuminated a world marked by shifting borders, social precarity, and the search for higher consciousness. The exhibition begins in 1965, following Cerrato's return to Argentina after a stay in Caracas, Venezuela in association with a group devoted ... More
Christian Boltanski, Dernière seconde (Last Second), 2014. LED counter, electric wire, 4 1/8 x 19 3/4 x 1 5/8 in. (10.5 x 50.3 x 4 cm).
PARIS.- Marian Goodman Gallery announces an IN FOCUS Presentation of selected works of Christian Boltanski, highlighting historical and iconic works some of which have rarely been shown. Many of Boltanski’s works are preoccupied with memory, mortality, and destiny—themes that evolve and grow in meaning in light of historical events, both past and present. It is his exploration of these universal themes that has made Boltanski one of the most prominent, impactful French artists internationally. Le Manteau (The Coat), comprised of a black coat that belonged to the artist and surrounded by blue light bulbs, can be interpreted both as a religious or Christ-like image and as a self-portrait of the artist. ‘The coat is linked to my family in Central Europe,’ explains Boltanski, ‘it is the coat of an emigrant, it is Chaplin's costume, it is the image of a certain man, a poor man.’ (Journal, C. Boltanski, A. Rimmaudo). Le Manteau was presented in most of his major solo ex ... More
One of the most legendary and historically significant of all Ferrari competition cars will lead RM Sotheby’s Paris auction, taking place on 28 January 2026.
LONDON.- RM Sotheby’s will return to its traditional home at the Louvre Palace’s spectacular Salles du Carrousel on 28 January 2026 for the 13th running of Europe’s premier collector car auction in Paris, and will feature one of the most highly significant competition Ferraris of all time. The auction will be led by the 1956 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Competizione 'Tour de France' by Scaglietti, a car which placed 1st overall at the 1956 Tour de France Automobile and is the the actual car that instituted the “Tour de France/TdF” nomenclature; raced and owned by the legendary Marquis Alfonso de Portago, it is the fifth of only seven Scaglietti-bodied first-series competition berlinettas. Unquestionably one of the finest sports competition Ferraris ever created, the model experienced its greatest success at the Tour de France Auto in September, a six-day rally of hill climbs, drag races, and circuit competitions where in 1956 this chassis was piloted by a ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Time itself becomes pliant in the hands of Simone Fattal, who has spent six decades forging a singular project to bridge the ancient and modern. This joint presentation spans two linked exhibitions — The Primeval Forest, at Greene Naftali, and The Hearth, at kaufmann repetto — and marks the artist’s return to New York following her acclaimed 2019 survey at MoMA PS1. The works on view range from sculptures in clay, stoneware, and bronze to large-scale drawings and cut-paper collage, implying a ritual landscape suffused with belief in what can’t be seen. Born in Damascus in 1942, Fattal was raised in Lebanon and educated in Beirut and Paris, where she studied archaeology at the École du Louvre and philosophy at the Sorbonne. In 1969 she returned to Beirut, where she began her career as an artist, exhibiting her paintings locally through the start of the Lebanese Civil War. She left the city in1980 and resettled in California. There she founded the ... More
Warren Isensee, BRB, 2025, Oil on canvas, 30 x 30 inches, 76.2 x 76.2 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery is presenting an exhibition of new work by New York-based artist Warren Isensee. The artist’s third solo exhibition with the gallery is on view 8 January through 14 February 2026 at 511 West 22nd Street. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated publication featuring an essay by Stephen Westfall. Warren Isensee’s newest paintings unfold as kaleidoscopes of color and kineticism, captivating viewers with their optically charged precision and palpable sense of consciousness. Each offers a distinctly cerebral presence, their brain-like forms engaging the mind’s eye with a delicate balance of structure and spontaneity. His masterful shifts between warm and cool tones create a rhythmic pulse, drawing the viewer into harmonies that hover between intention and intuition. One might liken Isensee’s compositions to architectural blueprints slipping into dream states—structures held in place ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- The Art Institute of Chicago announced Carroll Dunham: Drawings, 1974-2024 on view January 31 through June 1, 2026. Developed in conversation with the artist, this comprehensive survey is the first museum presentation focused exclusively on Dunham’s drawings, and will debut numerous works to the public. The exhibition will showcase works from the last 50 years of Dunham's career. Visitors will see how Dunham methodically tests out every possible outcome of a drawing’s form, subject or composition. While the drawings are wide-ranging in style, they appear linked from one body of work to the next within the exhibition, which tracks their development over time. "Drawing is central to Dunham’s practice and this presentation showcases his incredibly inventive, varied, and yet interconnected work,” said Thea Liberty Nichols, associate research curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. “Collaborating with Dunham ...

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF.- Gagosian announced Sarah Sze: Feel Free, the artist’s debut gallery exhibition in Los Angeles. Opening January 29, Feel Free brings together two immersive video installations and a new series of large-format paintings. Throughout the exhibition in Beverly Hills, Sze redefines collage as a spatial and temporal language that moves across mediums in flux, transforming the image itself into a sculptural material. In a process of continual fragmentation and reconstruction, these works explore how our senses, emotions, and memories are conditioned by today’s media-saturated world. Organized across three interconnected galleries, Feel Free presents spatial systems that unfold according to their own internal logic. Each room embodies a different relationship to light, material, and time, in which metamorphosis of ... More
RM Sotheby’s returns to the Arizona Biltmore on January 23 to open its 2026 auction season with $60 million worth of collector cars.
PHOENIX, AZ.- RM Sotheby’s announces The Longhorn Collection, the first collection announced for the company’s first auction of the year, the 28th annual Arizona auction at the Arizona Biltmore on January 23. Headlined by three standout Ferraris, including a 1995 Ferrari F50, a 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari, and a 2009 Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M, the collection spans multiple eras of Ferrari road car excellence. Bringing together landmark modern supercars and refined grand tourers, The Longhorn Collection offers collectors a compelling cross-section of Ferrari’s most celebrated designs and more. “The market is strong for late-model limited production sports cars from the 1990s and 2000s, and at the very top of that segment sits Ferrari. The Longhorn Collection brings together a number of special cars, but at the top are two of Ferrari’s ‘Big Six’ halo cars, the F50 and LaFerrari,” said Gord Duff, President of RM Sotheby’s. ... More
Ruth Ray (1919–1977), Venus De Milo,1963. Oil on canvas, 40 x 30 in.
NEW YORK, NY.- Hirschl & Adler Modern announces Women’s Work: Beyond Craft and Convention, an exhibition highlighting the richly varied and substantial artistic contributions of creative women. Spanning 150 years of art history, the show features works by Mary Cassatt, Elizabeth Catlett, Joan Snyder, Angela Fraleigh, Julie Heffernan, Elizabeth Turk, and others. This presentation doesn’t attempt to encompass the depth and breadth of art produced by women artists, nor does it seek to. Rather, it strives to challenge ever-present conceptions of gendered labor, acknowledging the social, political, and economic conditions that constrain and oppress women artists while arguing for understanding each woman’s work in her own right. When we hear the phrase “women’s work,” the first thing that comes to mind is domestic labor: cooking, cleaning, childcare—all the duties associated with keeping a home. If we consider “women’s work” in terms of artistic production ... More
PARIS.- 2026 promises a rich programme of events with a combination of monographic exhibitions and thematic proposals, discoveries and more familiar subjects. The spring opens with two exhibitions: one devoted to Martin Parr and the other to Jo Ractliffe, pursuing the exploration of documentary photography begun in 2025 with Luc Delahaye. The Martin Parr project offers the opportunity to reconsider the work of one of the most prominent contemporary photographers in light of global environmental issues, subjects continuously addressed by Parr in a gentle form of activism for the past forty years. In parallel but in a very different vein, the public can discover the work of South African photographer Jo Ractliffe, still too rarely shown in France, in an exhibition highlighting the way in which she has articulated the diverse dimensions of landscape in her work, from the aesthetic to the political. In the summer, visitors will be struck by the contrast between the two simultaneous exhibitions. On ... More

PARIS.- Spirals are everywhere in acclaimed Haitian American artist Kathia St. Hilaire’s mesmerizing new show. All of the kaleidoscopic and almost psychedelic swirling patterns will draw the viewer into each vortex. Through the repeating spirals, the artist memorializes Frankétienne (1936–2025) —the giant of Haitian literature and art—who passed away at his home in Delmas, Port-au-Prince on 20 February 2025, aged 88. Combined, the show’s spirals pay tribute to Frankétienne as co-founder of the Haitian literary movement Spiralism, which emerged from Haiti in the mid-1960s, during the ultra-repressive father-and-son dynastic dictatorship of François “Papa Doc” and Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier (1957–1986). According to Frankétienne, the Spiral is life itself because it is nature’s most oft-repeated paradigm and the basis of its component structures in astronomy, geometry and biology. Inspired by Frankétienne, St. Hilaire enacts/represents ... More

Sverre Malling returns to Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery with haunting new charcoals LONDON.- Norwegian artist Sverre Malling (b. 1977) is the maker of possible worlds. Or rather, in his work we encounter possible pasts, presents and futures. History is malleable, and the canons of Western art are revealed as constructions to be renegotiated and reassessed. What is revealed in the purity and simplicity of At The Mistress’ Request, his large presentation of charcoal drawings presented at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, is a distinct, almost haunting image-world. At The Mistress’ Request brings together the astounding range of Sverre Malling’s practice. These works draw their strange charisma and dark virtuosity from the tensions and oppositions that run throughout the history of art. Over recent decades, Malling’s work has been largely devoted to teasing out such frictions, exploring lost connections in cultural history, our pasts as a foreign country. ... More

Dominik Lejman debuts major "video-painting" retrospective in Berlin BERLIN.- The first major exhibition of the Polish artist Dominik Lejman will open on January 9, 2026 at St. Matthew's Church. Since almost three decades Dominik Lejman projects video images onto abstract paintings. Moving and motionless elements come together at different times. The paintings are briefly inhabited by revenants, phantoms—a disturbing art of alignment, imprisonment, and fall. In Dominik Lejman's art, people fall out of time into the joints of a present—a paradox. They are phantoms, belonging to no time, but recurring in every time. Thus, viewing his pictures is like an apparition in which the ambivalence of the familiar and the uncanny is revealed; imprisonment and paradisiacal longing. “The time is out of joint,” says the ghost to Hamlet. Dominik Lejman's work is obsessive, its aesthetics following the movement of human existence, its orientation, with a careful ... More
Spanish actress Carmen Maura stars in award-winning drama opening at Film Forum NEW YORK, NY.- Film Forum will present the U.S. theatrical premiere of Maryam Touzani’s Calle Malaga on Friday, February 6. From the director and screenwriters of The Blue Caftan (a 2023 Film Forum premiere): In a Spanish-speaking enclave of Tangier, widowed Maria—Almodóvar leading lady Carmen Maura (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown)—loves her life on Calle Malaga, with her friendly neighbors, grocers and café owners who know her routines, and a large flat filled with treasured belongings. But when her daughter Clara, the legal owner of the flat who is facing divorce and financial crisis back in Spain, insists on selling it—Maria is relegated to either live-in grandma status or a retirement home. Maria’s spunky (and wickedly humorous) obstinance and Clara’s mid-life desperation are both affecting, revealing as much of Maria’s vibrancy ... More
