Ojārs Ābols, Composition. Chain, 1965. Oil on canvas. Collection of the Latvian National Museum of Art, Riga. Photo: Raimo Lielbriedis.
RIGA.- From 10 January to 10 May 2026, the Latvian National Museum of Art in Riga will hold in the Great Hall of its main building an exhibition dedicated to the work of the painter Ojārs Ābols, Man’s Absurd Projects on Earth, which turns to the reality of Latvian art during the occupation period between Soviet dictate and politically non-engaged art, between collaboration and resistance, between conformism and non-conformism. Today painter and art theorist Ojārs Ābols (1922–1983) is seen as an avant-gardist of the 1960s–70s, a leader of theoretical thought, the driving force of the Painters’ Section at the Artists’ Union, godfather of Latvian contemporary art. American collectors Nancy and Norton Dodge have included his works in the collection of Soviet non-conformist art at the Zimmerli Art Museum, USA. Yet Ojārs Ābols’ life seemingly has two sides – the one that served the ideas of communism and the one that ... More
Jorinde Voigt, Poem VII, 2020. Gold leaf, aluminum leaf, pastel, and graphite on paper, 14 1/8 x 10 1/4 in (36 x 26 cm) framed: 16 7/8 x 13 in (42.9 x 33 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- Poetry, Music, Architecture presents drawings that reflect the natural connection between sound, language, and built form: three ways we shape and experience the world. Like a sonnet’s structure, musical notation, or an architect’s blueprint, drawing becomes a tool for thinking, planning, and giving form to ideas. Of the three media, music alone is formless in its completed state, yet it continues to inspire artists who work with and through structure. Poetry, music, and architecture share rhythm, harmony, and cadence. The works by Richard Artschwager, Barry Le Va, Louis I. Kahn, Julia Fish, and Jorinde Voigt each engage with language, sound, and structure in unique ways. Together, their art offers a new understanding of the interconnected nature of words, rhythm, and space—one that puts drawing at the centre of this triple Venn diagram, the core condition for thought to become form. Richard ... More
Emily Mason, Lunar Sand, 1985. Oil on canvas, 132.1 x 106.7 cm. 52 x 42 in.
PARIS.- In January 2026, Almine Rech will dedicate an exhibition at its rue de Turenne space in Paris to the American painter Emily Mason (1932–2019). This will be the first major monographic exhibition devoted to the artist in Europe, spanning nearly sixty years of her creative output. Featuring around fifty works, this retrospective will cover a period from the late 1950s to the second half of the 2010s, offering the chance to discover her paintings on canvas, clayboard and paper. Although her work is represented in several private collections in Europe, American painter Emily Mason's work has never been the subject of a solo exhibition here, with the exception of a 2004 presentation of her prints in Venice, the city where she studied and worked between 1956 and 1958. This first monographic presentation in France therefore offers an exceptional opportunity not only to engage with it anew but also to appreciate its distinctiveness within a contemporary context that ...

Frank Frazetta Hardcover, 8.3 x 10.2 in., 1.18 lb, 96 pages ISBN 978-3-7544-0044-9
NEW YORK, NY.- Frank Frazetta has reigned as the undisputed king of fantasy art for well over 50 years, the value of his paintings now climbing as high as his fans’ admiration. Each year his works break the previous year’s auction records, with the cover for Lancer books 1967 Conan bringing $13.5 million in September 2025. Born to a Sicilian immigrant family in Brooklyn, 1928, Frazetta was a minor league athlete, petty criminal and serial seducer with movie star looks and phenomenal talent. Self-described as lazy and difficult, he often started a painting the night before it was due, completing it in mere hours, yet delivering a masterpiece—often still wet, but a masterpiece, nonetheless. He started in comics at age 16, including the infamous EC Comics, moved on to film posters, then to Tarzan and Conan pulp covers. Along the way he produced magazine covers for National Lampoon, though at odds with the editors’ “hippy politics,” made the animated film Fire & Ice with di ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- 125 Newbury will present Alfred Jensen: Diagrammatic Mysteries, an exhibition of paintings, studies, and works on paper by the influential Expressionist painter Alfred Jensen, from January 16 to February 28. Selected from the collection of the Estate of Alfred Jensen, many of the works on view will be publicly exhibited for the first time. Born in 1903, the same year as his close friend Mark Rothko, Jensen is recognized for his enigmatic universe of grids, diagrams, and fantastic gameboards rendered in brilliant, prismatic color. Before settling in New York in the early 1950s, Jensen spent much of his young adult life moving from place to place. These experiences informed his lifelong interest in the philosophies, systems, and aesthetics of cultures around the world, which became basic to his art. Strongly influenced by Guatemalan textiles and pre-Columbian art, Jensen also drew inspiration from sources ranging from the intuitive to the theoretical and ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- The kind of fame and success The Rolling Stones have achieved in their 60-plus year career is without parallel; their most famous riffs and catchiest lyrics are indelibly engraved in our collective memory. With their mesmerizing on- and off-stage presence, the Stones set the standard for how a rock band should sound, pose, pout, and behave. They were the first to instinctively understand that what you looked like was as important as the music, and that photography had a vital role in promoting that image. “The clothes and the hair are always impeccable,” describes author Lucy Sante. “They were playing themselves, but with such consistent finesse you knew they were instinctively aware of the camera and how good they will look in the photos.” Unsurprisingly many of the greatest photographers in the history of the medium wanted to take their picture. Produced in close collaboration with the band, this edition charts the Stones’ remarkable history ... More
One of the central concerns in Christiane Baumgartner’s work is the tension between speed and stillness.
PARIS.- Zander Galerie Paris will open the year 2026 with an exhibition devoted to the German artist Christiane Baumgartner. At its center is her seminal work 1 Sekunde, a sequence of 25 woodcuts that explore the interplay between time, image, and movement. Born in Leipzig in 1967, Christiane Baumgartner studied at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig (HGB) before completing a Master’s in Printmaking at the Royal College of Art, London. From the start of her career, she has combined analogue and digital media: sourcing her own video footage or photographs, converting them into lines via computer programs, and transferring them into hand-carved woodcuts. She is particularly renowned for her monumental prints: large woodblocks carved by hand with modest tools such as kitchen knives and scalpels, then hand-inked and pressed onto lightweight ... More
Gardar Eide Einarsson, “Music Playing Over Speech”, 2025. Gouache on Arches paper, paper: 76 × 56 cm – 30 × 22 in., framed: 81.7 × 60.3 cm – 32 1/8 × 23 3/4 in.
LONDON.- Maureen Paley will present Music Playing Over Speech, Gardar Eide Einarsson’s fifth exhibition at the gallery. The exhibition brings together two bodies of works, Closed Captions and Incendiary Test Area. In both, Einarsson considers how linguistic and visual structures shape our understanding of the world and mask systems of power. The Closed Caption paintings use text taken from closed captioning in film and television, including descriptions of gestures, sounds, background noise, and musical cues. These fragments, originally intended to translate audio information into written form, are removed from their narrative contexts and presented on monochromatic fields. Without accompanying imagery or sound, the captions function as eerie independent visual elements, highlighting the messaging produced when ... More

FORT WORTH, TX.- The Kimbell Art Museum’s special exhibition Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection will close January 25, 2026. Named one of “The Best Art Exhibitions of 2025” by The Wall Street Journal, this exhibition brings to North America for the first time a selection of fifty-eight rarely seen masterpieces from the world’s most important private collection of Roman sculpture. The Dallas Morning News describes it as “a dazzling glimpse of the Roman world and a compelling history of collecting itself.” “The opportunity to bring large-scale works of ancient Roman sculpture to the American public is extremely rare, and we at the Kimbell are grateful to Fondazione Torlonia for creating this once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Eric Lee, director of the Kimbell Art Museum. “This is the first exhibition of ancient Roman sculpture in the Kimbell’s fifty-three-year history and is all the more exciting because ...

Haim Steinbach, Empty heading related and different, 1985/2025. Plastic laminated wood shelf; leather basketball shoes; brass candlesticks, 36 x 20 1/2 x 20 inches; 91.4 x 52.1 x 50.8 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Tanya Bonakdar Gallery is presenting five easy pieces, an exhibition of new work by Haim Steinbach, alongside art-historical examples which contextualize the new works. The art historian and curator Germano Celant once observed that Haim Steinbach was setting up a “horizon-line of ‘figures’” on the shelf. He also recalled the game of chess played between the knight and death in Ingmar Bergman’s film The Seventh Seal. Celant was referencing Bergman’s existential narrative with the chess board and its grid of quasi-objects in relation to Haim Steinbach’s play. In 1976, Haim Steinbach conceived of the as if game board with his series of works titled Particle Board with Black Shapes. Using a black oil stick he rubbed geometric shapes onto a 2’ x 2’ particle board. They were placed along the four edges of the square panel like pawns, graffiti, or even chords of the musical scale. By the mid ... More
Tom Burr,Twenty Seven (Graz Repeat), 2025, Painted wood panel; powder-coated aluminum panel and hardware; cover of edition Martin Kippenberger, Old Vienna Posters, 1992, published in edition of 200 by Grazer Kunstverein; page of brochure for Kontext Kunst: The Art of the 90s, Künstlerhaus Graz, 1993, curated by Peter Weibel; Dries Van Noten suit pants; yellow artists’ tape; thumbtacks and nails. 27 x 27 x 2 1/8 in (68.6 x 68.6 x 5.4 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- Bortolami is presenting Journal Works by Tom Burr, his tenth solo exhibition at the gallery and the first show dedicated to his titular series. Of the twenty-nine works in the series, approximately half will be on view. Burr’s new Journal works elaborate his practice of making wood-mounted collages, also called “bulletin boards” which the artist has produced in various formats since the late 1990s. Culling materials from art history, queer cultures, and his personal life as an artist, Burr places images, texts, items of clothing, and cultural refuse in productive relation to each other. He furthers his material exploration and accumulation using colorful ... More
VIENNA.- Galerie Eva Presenhuber will present Psyche of Fae O, its second solo exhibition with the London-based, Greek artist Sofia Mitsola. The boudoir is literally a room for sulking, a female retreat and refuge for dressing, undressing, and transformation. The Marquis de Sade transformed it into a libertarian cabinet for his fantasies, while Anaïs Nin made it the setting for her erotic stories. Today, the term primarily refers to a genre of photography that commercializes posing in lingerie as an act of self-empowerment. Sofia Mitsola, by contrast, turns it into the atmospheric backdrop for her images and thus a linchpin of a reflection on how (nude) painting, with its myriad art-historical references, can be given a contemporary perspective once again. In her new oil paintings, reincarnations of Klimt’s female characters – long a source of inspiration for her – merge with vintage porn to create a neo-Art Deco style, dominated by porcelain-white skin and cascades of red hair. ...

Camden Art Centre presents its 2026/27 exhibition programme LONDON.- In his first major institutional exhibition in the UK, London-based artist Nat Faulkner (b. 1995, Chippenham)—the recipient of Camden Art Centre’s 2024 Emerging Artist Award at Frieze—will present an ambitious new commission that continues his enquiries into the structures and mechanics of photography. The exhibition’s title, Strong water, is derived from the Latin name for nitric acid, aqua fortis, and alludes to the artist’s fascination with state changes, demonstrated in water’s mercurial ability to cycle through manifold conditions. In a series of new frottage reliefs, Faulkner maps the site of his studio, taking rubbings with copper sheets directly from the floor and walls, then electroplating them with silver, recycled and purified from X-ray film sourced from NHS labs. When pieced together they reveal a partial image that haunts the gallery in situ. The exhibition ... More
Fluid dynamics meet organic form: Lily Clark and Ash Roberts debut "Dew Point" in LA LOS ANGELES, CA.- François Ghebaly Los Angeles is presenting Dew Point, a two-person exhibition featuring Los Angeles-based artists Lily Clark and Ash Roberts. Working across diverse media, Lily Clark and Ash Roberts engage with organic processes and states of ephemerality, phenomena that resist control or containment, to foreground the elusive bond between the natural and constructed world. Trained as a ceramicist, Lily Clark explores the physicality of water, often evoking the California landscape and Modernist architecture in her work. Her practice reflects on water’s fluid yet rhythmic behavior, tracing how it courses through natural environments and man’s engineered systems. Though she incorporates natural materials such as wood, fired ceramic and locally sourced stone, water itself remains her guiding medium. For Ash Roberts, her paintings emerge from ... More
Simian to open exhibitions by Iannis Xenakis and Laura Langer COPENHAGEN.- Simian announced two upcoming exhibitions: Why am I me?, a solo exhibition by the artist Laura Langer, and a presentation of the seminal compostion La Légende d’Eer by the Greek composer Iannis Xenakis. The second edition of the film program Extended Views is presented in Simian‘s cinema in collaboration with KADIST. The program features video works from the KADIST collection selected in relation to the current exhibitions. Why am I me? is Laura Langer’s first solo exhibition in Denmark. For the show, the artist transforms Simian’s main exhibition space by means of an architectural intervention: a corridor-shaped sequence leads the visitors in a winding movement through a dense display of her work, making use of the venue’s large scale to gather and rearrange in one single space almost one hundred paintings in a non chronological order. Many ... More
New exhibition at Layr translates Keiji Nishitani's philosophy into visual form VIENNA.- The exhibition “each thing is itself in not being itself, and is not itself in being itself”[1] departs from the foundations of the religious/spiritual and ontological philosophy of Keiji Nishitani (1900–1990). The Japanese thinker explained that things exist only in relation to other things and understanding them therefore also requires exploring what they are not. His thinking was significantly shaped by his studies with Martin Heidegger in Freiburg, Germany, and ultimately made him a key figure in intellectual exchange and mediation between the hemispheres who could critically compare and synthetise various schools of thought of the West and the East. According to Nishitani, the transcendence of consciousness means going beyond the typical field of consciousness (as one of the stubborn domains of Western thought, establishing a subject that perceives objects and is alienated ...

Otto Wagner's masterpieces of modernism debut at the Tchoban Foundation in Berlin BERLIN.- Otto Wagner (1841–1918) is one of the internationally most influential figures of early modern architecture. Many of his buildings – for instance, the Vienna City Railway, the Postal Savings Bank and the Church at Steinhof – are now considered key works of twentieth-century architecture because they shed their historical stylistic trappings and speak instead a language appropriate to “modern life”, based on purpose, materials, and construction. Wagner's early work was influenced by the historicism of Vienna’s Ringstrasse. From the late 1880s onwards, however, he, unique in his generation, became convinced that this architecture was at odds with the political, economic and social dynamics of the time. In 1896 he set out his ideas on “modern architecture” in a treatise of the same name, which met with great acclaim and is now considered ... More
Kathy Butterly debuts "High Vibration" at James Cohan NEW YORK, NY.- James Cohan is presenting High Vibration, an exhibition of new sculptural work by Kathy Butterly, on view at 48 Walker Street from January 9 through February 14, 2026. This is Butterly’s fourth solo exhibition with James Cohan. For nearly four decades, Kathy Butterly has created striking ceramic sculptures with a powerful individuality that showcase her technical virtuosity and bold artistic vision. Butterly uses clay and glaze to paint in three dimensions, pushing her materials to their expressive and physical limits. Her unparalleled explorations of form and color continue to expand the field of contemporary studio ceramics and reflect sustained engagement with histories of abstraction and the vessel. Despite their intentionally small scale, Butterly’s sculptures are dense with complexity, wit, and precision, with each work constituting its own rich, immersive ... More
Exhibition programme 2026 at WIELS Contemporary Art Centre, Brussels BRUSSELS.- Marie Zolamian’s work invokes constellations where interior geographies, fabulated presences and microhistories intertwine to form visual worlds operating between observation and imagination. Through painting, moving image, sound, drawing and site-specific work, Confabulations considers how memory is continuously reactivated and transformed, opening new routes towards shared imaginaries. Curator: Sofia Dati. Burning the Days offers an expansive view of conceptual artist Lutz Bacher’s provocative, genre-defying oeuvre that exists across a wide range of found materials. Moving between affect and sentiment, humor, and pop-cultural touchstones, the exhibition turns to unflinching examinations of sexuality, violence, political paranoia, and cosmic metaphysics. Curators: Helena Kritis and Dirk Snauwaert, with co-curator Solveig Øvstebø at Astrup ... More
Tyler Mitchell debuts his first solo exhibition in France at the MEP PARIS.- The MEP is presenting the first solo exhibition in France by Tyler Mitchell, a leading figure in his generation of contemporary photography, until 25 January 2026. Entitled Wish This Was Real, the exhibition explores the artist's major themes: self-determination and the extraordinary beauty embedded in everyday life. Mitchell is driven by dreams of paradise against the backdrop of history. His images propel a visual narrative of beauty, style, utopia, and the landscape that expands visions of Black life and shows how portraiture can be rooted in the past while evoking imagined futures. Wish This Was Real covers ten years of Mitchell’s dynamic artistic practice in photography, video, and sculpture, demonstrating the influence of the “New Black Vanguard” – the proliferation of images by Black photographers who work across genres of fashion and art. From ... More
Journey to the center of the unconscious: "Iter Subterraneum" debuts in Bergen BERGEN.- Bergen Kunsthall presents the group exhibition Iter Subterraneum with works by Mira Adoumier, Cecilia Fiona, Robert Gabris, Ingela Ihrman, Wangechi Mutu, Nour Ouayda, Ovartaci, Naomi Rincón-Gallardo, Kaare Ruud and Anicka Yi. The exhibition Iter Subterraneum draws inspiration from the Danish-Norwegian writer Ludvig Holberg’s novel Niels Klim's Underground Travels (1741), a work often cited as the Nordic region's first science fiction novel. Through the story of a man who falls through a hole in Mount Fløyen in Bergen and discovers a planet governed by sentient trees, Enlightenment faith in science is blended with fantasy and satire. In Holberg’s novel, the trees possess both morality and reason, and today the story can be read as an early study of ecological and utopian thought—a world where growth, branching, and coexistence challenge humanity’s ...

Grolier Club exhibition traces the evolution of technology and labor through printing history NEW YORK, NY.- A new exhibition at The Grolier Club explores the evolution of technology and its impact on labor through a close look at the history of printing. The Second Printing Revolution: Invention of Mass Media, on view in the Club’s ground floor gallery from January 14 through April 11, 2026, examines the transition from handcrafted book production to mechanized papermaking, printing, illustration, typesetting, and bookbinding.
