LONDON.- The Courtauld Gallery unveiled the first-ever museum exhibition in the UK on the celebrated modern American artist Wayne Thiebaud (1920–2021). The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition: Wayne Thiebaud. American Still Life is on display from 10 October 2025 – 18 January 2026. One of the most original American artists of the 20th century, Thiebaud developed a unique style of painting to express his vision of post-war American culture through its everyday objects. The exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery focuses on Thiebaud’s break-out works of the 1960s that made his reputation and brings together some of the greatest paintings the artist produced during this remarkable period – lush and captivating depictions of quintessential modern American subjects, from cherry pies, hot dogs and candy counters to gumball dispensers and pinball machines. With these works, Thiebaud ... More
Joan Carlile (1606- 1679), Portrait of a Lady, 1650s Oil on canvas, 22 ½ x 17 ¼ in. (57 x 44 cm).
LONDON.- Recently discovered in Australia, this is an exciting addition to Joan Carlile’s oeuvre and a crucial contribution to the study of Black subjects in British art. Carlile was one of the first professional female painters working in Britain and her position within the narrative of British art is only now beginning to emerge. During her lifetime she was named, alongside Mary Beale, in a list of notable ‘Modern Masters’ in Sir William Sanderson’s Graphice, and enjoyed the patronage of prominent society figures. However, she soon slipped into art historical obscurity and it was only in the mid-twentieth century that her name was reinserted in the canon of British art studies. With only thirty to forty known works by her hand, this painting’s format is unusual for Carlile, showing a lady with a Black attendant. She based the figure of the attendant on Aegidius Sadeler II’s engraving after Titian’s Portrait of Laura Dianti (late 1520s), one of the first form ... More

MUNICH.- At the dawn of the Age of Robots, Die Neue Sammlung is dedicating an exhibition to these relatively young contemporaries of humankind. For more than 100 years now, robots have shaped our ideas about future and parallel worlds, and in the last few years they have become a firm fixture of everyday life. The experts suggest that the areas where they can be used will increase rapidly over the coming years. At this historic turning point, the exhibition takes a look at what humans imagine robots to be as well as their real form and function. Exhibits include outstanding robots and robot toy figures from around 1960 to the present day. They show both the human fantasies and utopian worlds associated with robots, as well as the various shapes and designs of real, functional robots. The toy figures tend to be pretty dissimilar ...

Paul Gauguin, Fruits on a Table or Still Life with a Small Dog, 1889. Oil on canvas, 18 1/2 x 20 7/8 inches (47 x 53 cm).
PALM BEACH, FLA.- Acquavella presents Masters of Modernism: From Gauguin to Warhol in Palm Beach. With works on view by Pierre Bonnard, Georges Braque, Paul Cézanne, Jean Dubuffet, Paul Gauguin, Alberto Giacometti, Fernand Léger, Brice Marden, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Édouard Vuillard, Andy Warhol, and Zao Wou-Ki, the selling exhibition features a range of Post-Impressionist, modern, and postwar masterworks. Copying the objects which make up a still-life is nothing. What matters is to express the feelings they inspire in you, the emotion that the whole composition arouses, the harmonies between the different objects, and the specific nature of each of them, modified by its harmonies with the others. - Henri Matisse. As Nice was threatened by airstrike in 1943 during World War II, Henri Matisse was forced to seek refuge inland, moving to Villa Le Rêve on the ... More
PARIS.- The Grand Palais is dedicating a major monographic exhibition to American artist Mickalene Thomas (born 1971 in New York) entitled All About Love. Recognized worldwide for her bold, multidimensional practice, Mickalene Thomas explores the visibility and representation of Black women in art, history, and popular culture. Through a vibrant synthesis of painting, collage, photography, video, and installation, she reimagines classical portraiture with a distinctly queer and Black feminist perspective. At the core of Mickalene Thomas’s work is love – as a force of liberation, self affirmation, and joy. Drawing inspiration from bell hooks’s seminal text All About Love: New Visions (1999), the exhibition celebrates love’s power to transform both personal and collective life. All About Love honors the agency, beauty, and resilience of Black women. Mickalene Thomas’s subjects – friends, family, lovers, and cultural icons – are depicted ... More

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.- Signal and Strata brings together the work of three Peruvian artists—Elena Damiani, Ximena Garrido-Lecca, and Ishmael Randall-Weeks—whose practices examine the complex entanglements of land, history, and extraction through materially rich, architecturally resonant, and often pre-colonial forms. The exhibition marks the first U.S. institutional presentation to bring these artists into direct dialogue, tracing connections across their investigations of geology, capitalism, mythology, and cultural memory. Working across sculpture, installation, and photography, Elena Damiani explores archeological and archival systems as frameworks for understanding time and perception. Her works reconfigure stratigraphic and ... More
DRESDEN.- The Gerhard Richter Archive in Dresden has opened a special anniversary exhibition marking two decades of work dedicated to one of the most influential artists of our time. Founded in 2006 as part of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, the Archive has spent the last 20 years collecting, preserving, and researching materials related to the life and work of Gerhard Richter. Now, to celebrate that milestone, it is offering the public a rare look behind the scenes. The exhibition brings visitors into the Archive’s usually closed storage spaces, revealing a carefully curated selection of artworks, exhibition models, sketches, photographs, and personal objects connected to Richter’s career. Many of these materials have never been shown or published before, making the presentation a unique opportunity to encounter lesser-known aspects of the artist’s practice. At the heart ... More
Edvard Munch, Three Men, 1927 – 1930. Munchmuseet, Oslo, photo: Munchmuseet.
ZURICH.- The Kunsthaus Zürich has announced a rich and varied annual programme for 2026. Classic and historic masterpieces engage in dialogue with contemporary art, encouraging new perspectives. Ann Demeester, Director of the Kunsthaus Zürich: ‘In line with the motto of the installation that Jeffrey Gibson has designed for the foyer of the new Chipperfield building – ‘We continue to change’ – we are presenting a variety of voices and transformations in a programme that reflects the multiplicity of art in its different guises. In 2026 we are looking forward to exciting international and local collaborations as well as unexpected interpretations of our own impressive collection.’ The Kunsthaus Zürich strategically focuses on polyphony and contradictions: from artworks that encourage silent contemplation (Vilhelm Hammershøi and Wolfgang Laib) to works by socially committed, challenging artists from different eras (Félicien Rops, Maria Lassnig and Edvard Munch), from m ...

Mark Dion, The Anatomy of Melancholy - Dodo, 2021.
NEW YORK, NY.- Tanya Bonakdar Gallery will present a solo exhibition of new work by Mark Dion. Since the 1980s, Dion’s work has addressed the world we live in by adopting, and then subverting, its vernacular forms and institutional systems. The artist uses found objects to create sculptures and installations, and his drawings contain straightforward figural representation and standard graphic didactical formats. The familiar language of his materials and styles disarms and draws in viewers.Many of his projects have involved the artist embedding himself with experts in their respective fields to learn thoroughly their methods and traditions, in order to create new works that depict that field using its own language, conventions, and systems. The works maintain a delicate balance between deadly seriousness and wicked humor. Dion generally has great respect, interest, and love for the institutions and methodologies he studies and then mimics. Moreover, the themes he examines can be quite heavy, dec ... More
SCHLESWIG.- With the exhibition Daniel Richter. TORF, Schloss Gottorf concludes a successful museum season by presenting one of the most significant positions in contemporary painting. A total of 58 works, some of them large-format, by the internationally renowned artist transform the riding hall on the museum island in Schleswig into a vibrant place of art. On the occasion of the awarding of the Art Prize of the Schleswig-Holstein Business Community, Schloss Gottorf and the Dr. Dietrich Schulz Art Foundation honor the native of Eutin with a comprehensive retrospective.

The Kiel exhibition of 2001, named after Heinrich Böll’s novel Billiards at Half-Past Nine, marked an important milestone in the institutional reco ... More
HARLEM, NY.- The Studio Museum in Harlem presents From the Studio: Fifty-Eight Years of Artists in Residence, an expansive installation that highlights the enduring impact of the Museum’s signature Artist-in-Residence program. Located in the new Artist-in-Residence studios and lounge on the Museum’s fourth floor, From the Studio represents nearly all former artists in residence through a combination of objects from the Museum’s collection, art on loan from friends and family, and newly commissioned works on paper that reflect the artists’ time in the residency, totaling over 130 artworks displayed through a dynamic floor-to-ceiling salon hang.

Portrait Cristina Garrido.
HORNU.- The White Cube is Never Empty is the first solo show in a Belgian museum by Spanish artist Cristina Garrido. Spanning the past decade of her practice, it includes a new site-specific installation that responds directly to the Museum’s distinctive architecture and exhibition history. Garrido’s multidisciplinary work examines how art is framed – culturally, digitally, and institutionally. Recurring themes in her practice include the relationship between art and cultural narratives, the impact of technology, and the role of viewer subjectivity. The exhibition offers a critical lens on the evolving dynamics of the contemporary art world. It invites viewers to consider how identity and context shape artistic production and reception. Garrido probes the complex interplay between artists, their cultural backgrounds, and the systems that mediate visibility and value – interrogating how meaning is constructed within the global art ecosystem. Her work also explores the influe ... More
Gayane Avetissian, “In the Rose City” series N11, 2024, Mixed media on paper, 21x21 cm.
ISTANBUL.- Galeri 77 is hosting Gayane Avetissian’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, titled “Tabula Rasa”, between December 25 – February 14. In Tabula Rasa, Armenian artist Avetissian presents a focused body of recent works, four canvases and twenty- four works on paper foregrounding drawing as an autonomous and investigative medium. Rooted in traditional techniques yet shaped by contemporary conceptual inquiry, the exhibition examines the idea of the “blank slate” as a space already marked by memory, education, and lived experience. Born in 1995 in Yerevan, Armenia, Gayane Avetissian is a contemporary artist whose practice reconsiders painting and drawing within a broader conceptual framework. She studied at the Painting Department of Panos Terlemezyan State College of Fine Arts (2012–2017) and later at the Graphics Department of the State Academy of Fine Arts of Armenia (2017–2020).

Staatsgalerie Stuttgart announces 2026 exhibition schedule STUTTGART.- The Documentary Photography Awards by the Wüstenrot Foundation are the most important awards of their kind in Germany. Together with the Photographic Collection of the Museum Folkwang in Essen, they have been presented every two years since 1994 including works of young artists from German universities and academies who use contemporary documentary image strategies and forms of representation to question the present.

Forza cani at Consortium Museum turns stillness and cruelty into ritualized performance DIJON.- "FORZA CANI", which could be translated as “Go, dogs, go !” is the performative title that Diego Marcon has chosen for his exhibition at the Consortium Museum, which includes a photograph, ten ceramic sculptures of dead dogs, and a 16mm film projected on a loop. The exhibition unfolds according to a mechanism with its own logic: a purposeless regularity in which the elements persist, delineate the spaces and voids, perpetually coming back around again. The title is all the more ironic—or paradoxical—in that it seems to announce a life force whereas these dog carcasses are in fact immobilized, fixed forever in their dual condition as corpses and sculptures—at once realistic and decorative, shiny and polychrome. The brutal objectification of these adorable domestic creatures is one of the tragi-comic devices of the mis-en-scène, meticulously ... More
Scientists discover nine new species of butterfly from South America LONDON.- An international team of scientists have identified nine new species of butterflies using a combination of geographical, morphological and molecular analysis. • AMISTAD, a new collections-based research project led by London’s Natural History Museum, is working on untangling the identities of a group of blue butterflies from South America. • Naming new species will fill gaps in the tree of life, helping us to understand the different relationships between species and focus conservation efforts towards potentially threatened species. Butterflies are some of the world’s most distinctive insects, but they can be surprisingly hard to tell apart. Some species copy each other’s appearance and share the same habitats, while others haven’t been seen in the wild in over a century. Now, using the latest advances in DNA sequencing, scientists are beginning to separate ... More

The Celtic Empresses pay tribute to the sacred trees of the Celtic calendar — oak, ... More
James Nachtwey's Memoria at Fotografiska Berlin reframes war photography as an act of compassion BERLIN.- „We should stop calling him a ‘war photographer’. Instead, look upon him as a man of peace, a man whose longing for peace makes him go to war and expose himself.“ (Wim Wenders) What does it mean to witness the worst things humans do to one another and still believe in compassion? Memoria, on view at Fotografiska Berlin from January 31 to May 3, 2026, showcases the powerful photographic work of James Nachtwey, one of the most influential photojournalists of our time. He spent four decades documenting conflict, injustice, and the fragile traces of humanity within these crises. The exhibition centers on the human consequences of war and critical social issues, highlighting the individual within large-scale historical upheavals. It also reflects on the essential role of photography itself: as a medium of memory, an act of preservation, and a tool ... More
In Plain Sight traces two decades of British photography shaped by power and public space ROME.- Matèria is presenting In Plain Sight: Photography, Power and Public Space in Britain, an exhibition of photographic works, co-curated in dialogue with Christiane Monarchi. Through the intersection of language and the use of public space, the exhibition explores photography as a transformative site for action and a declaration of intent—whether political, cultural, or personal. At its core, In Plain Sight is both a reflection on Britain’s rich photographic landscape and a testament to its profound contributions to social discourse with a particular focus on the last twenty years. Bringing together the work of eight lens-based artists, In Plain Sight opens a dialogue with specific histories of the United Kingdom which continue to influence visual culture today. The photographs, video and sculptural works included from these UK-based artists oscillate between fiction and document, ... More

Bringing together a new series of works created over the past year. The exhibition reflects Berlanger’s continued investigation into form, material, and meaning, marking a further evolution of his artistic practice. The work of Marcel Berlanger, expressing an act that is at once painterly, figurative and installation and stage-oriented, unfolds in multiple dimensions, tirelessly exploring the inclusion of the figure – both its construction and deconstruction – in the space of the image. In continuance of the resonances sought between documents, boards and canvasses in earlier works, more recent paintings focus on how the light lies at the heart of all perception. Indeed, it is through the very vibrations and pulsations of the light that ... More
Salone del Mobile's 2026 campaign rethinks design through transformation and materiality MILAN.- From a reflection on humans to matter as meaning: the new Salone communication campaign explores the physical and symbolic origins of design, a visual narration made up of different perspectives, united by a common idea of transformation and genesis. Following the 2025 human-centric campaign Thought for Humans devised by the sensitive, documentarist American photographer Bill Durgin, the Salone del Mobile.Milano is continuing its process of reflection on the meaning of design with A Matter of Salone, the communication campaign for the 2026 edition. While design was explored last year as a language in the service of people, the starting point for this year is even more original: matter. Matter that can be touched, read and interpreted. Matter that preserves memory while also concealing as-yet undiscovered potential. The campaign is taking shape ... More
