SASKATOON.- Remai Modern has become the first museum in western Canada to acquire a painting by globally celebrated artist Agnes Martin. The late-career painting, titled Tranquility (2000), is composed of ivory and lavender-blue bands that showcase the artist’s lifelong exploration of the subtlety of colour and power of abstraction. Bringing Martin’s work into the Remai Modern Collection allows the museum to tell a very special story that starts in Saskatchewan and has impacted the course of art history. Remai Modern is only the third Canadian museum after the National Gallery of Canada and the Art Gallery of Ontario to acquire a painting by Martin, who has been recognized as one of the most influential artists of her generation. “Though she spent most of her life away from the Prairies, Agnes Martin’s works carry a special connection to this region. Her iconic gridded paintings call to mind the patchwork of rural landscapes ... More

Vincent van Gogh, Sunflowers, 1889, oil on canvas, 95 cm x 73 cm. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation)
AMSTERDAM.- Yellow. Beyond Van Gogh’s Colour attracted 461,337 visitors, making it the most visited exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum in the past ten years. The exhibition allowed visitors to see Vincent van Gogh and the colour so closely associated with his work in a new, sensory way. Emilie Gordenker, Director of the Van Gogh Museum: ‘The exhibition Yellow allowed our visitors to look at Van Gogh from a fresh perspective, through the colour that is strongly associated with him. We are absolutely delighted that nearly half a million people enjoyed this exhibition, which demonstrated that yellow is much more than Van Gogh’s favourite colour: it struck a deep emotional chord amongst artists and intellectuals of his own time, and seems to have done the same for our many visitors.’ Visitors to Yellow. Beyond Van Gogh’s Colour appreciated the sensory approach, in which art, scent, ... More

PARIS.- For Daido Moriyama, photography is alive, very much alive. Since the early 1960s, he has maintained a daily, almost existential relationship with it. He addresses photography through images, books and writing, each time a declaration. In 1972, his book Shashin yo sayonara [Farewell Photography] broke from the rules of “good” photography. At the same time, he published essays in Japanese photography magazines (Asahi Camera, Provoke, Shashin Jidai, etc.), each a kind of manifesto. He would also make repeated pilgrimages to sites associated with the very first photographer, Nicéphore Niépce. Many of his everyday images turn the medium back on itself—they hold up a mirror to it. The exhibition at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson is not a traditional retrospective organized around a chronological sequence of masterpieces. It is structured around a single, decisive premise: Moriyama’s obsession with ... More

New exhibition challenges exotic stereotypes of Balinese and Southeast Asian art GUANGZHOU.- Bali Island: Art and the World Beyond the Rainforest moves beyond exoticized "tropical" imagery to interrogate the visual construction of Southeast Asia. Using "Bali"—a quintessential locus in modern art history—as a point of departure, the exhibition deconstructs stereotypical tropes to unpack the profound cultural shifts underpinning global perceptions of the region. Far more than a scenic destination, Bali has functioned as a pivotal hub for global artistic exchange since the early 20th century. By tracing artistic expeditions to Bali and Southeast Asia between the 1930s and 1950s, the exhibition maps a network of lived experience and aesthetic influence: 1930s: Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias distilled Balinese life into sophisticated visual symbols that brought the island to global aesthetic attention. 1940s: Chinese masters Guan Shanyue ...

This exhibition will open Tuesday, May 19, 2026 with a 6-8 pm reception at the gallery (1018 Madison Avenue, Floor 3, New York, NY).

Kevin Beasley explores family history and landscape in fifth solo exhibition at Casey Kaplan NEW YORK, NY.- All I thought / I loved, Kevin Beasley’s fifth exhibition at Casey Kaplan, recasts his relationship to landscape through a years-long inquiry into the inherited and regenerative resonance of a site. Set in part on his family’s century-old property in Valentines, Virginia, the exhibition renders image, material and memory in oscillating focus. Newly developed techniques trigger a different mode of remembering, grounded in shifting conditions of light and color keyed to the time of day, and as intuited landscape that is sensed rather than fixed in view. Across a new body of resin paintings, video, cotton-based and cast resin sculptures, landscape is not rendered so much as it is built to surface—an accumulation of atmosphere and lived experience, slipping between physicality and illegibility. In sequence at the entrance, a series of vistas—intimate forms composed ... More
Georgian artist Tamara Kvesitadze unveils immersive mythological exhibition at Palazzo Bragadin VENICE.- In Medea: Fragments of Memory, Georgian artist Tamara Kvesitadze unveils a new body of work conceived specifically for the historic spaces of Palazzo Bragadin. Known internationally for her kinetic and monumental sculptures - and for having represented Georgia twice at the Venice Biennale - Kvesitadze continues her exploration of movement, transformation, and the fragility of human experience. The exhibition is supported by Kornfeld Gallery Berlin, Atelier Visconti and David Bezhuashvili Education Foundation. Rooted in both mythology and cultural memory, the exhibition draws from the figure of Medea, daughter of King Aeëtes of Colchis - an ancient kingdom associated with present-day Georgia. In Kvesitadze’s vision, Medea transcends narrative to become a condition: a state of exile, fragmentation, and emotional displacement ... More

The exhibition is comprised of works created specifically for the exhibition and existing works, according to a combinatorial practice of reuse and reinterpretation that the artist has previously deployed—an approach inherent to the very nature of her work. The familiar elements of the artist’s work are joined here by new ones: recycled plastics, industrial refuse and found objects ... More

On a day like today, German artist Gabriele Münter died
May 19, 1962. Gabriele Münter (February 19, 1877 to May 19, 1962) was a central figure of German Expressionism and a founding member of Der Blaue Reiter, whose landscapes, portraits, interiors, and still lifes helped transform modern painting in the early twentieth century. Closely associated with the Munich avant-garde and with Wassily Kandinsky, Münter developed a language of bold color, simplified form, and emphatic contour rooted in both modernist experimentation and Bavarian folk art. Her preservation of major works by Kandinsky and other Blaue Reiter artists during the Nazi period also made her a crucial guardian of modern art’s legacy. In this image: Gabriele Münter. Village Street in Winter, 1911. Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus und Kunstbau München, donated by Gabriele Münter, 1957.
