As the exhibition travels to museums across the country, it affirms the AFA’s belief that art should be accessible to communities everywhere,” says Pauline Forlenza, the AFA’s Director and CEO. “I hope that visitors are moved by the emotional presence and lasting power of these images, just as I was,” says Judy Glickman Lauder. “Photography connects us to ...

BERN.- Anne Loch’s (1946–2014) career began in the 1980s amid the Cologne art scene alongside figures such as Rosemarie Trockel, Jenny Holzer and Cindy Sherman. Then the German artist broke radically with the art world and lived very reclusively in Switzerland. This, however, did not involve an interruption of her artistic work: Anne Loch’s œuvre comprises some 1400 works. From 18 July to 20 September 2026, the Zentrum Paul Klee is dedicating to this distinctive painter only the second major solo exhibition in Switzerland, following the one held at the Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur in 2017. Around 80 works, some on a monumental scale, invite visitors to discover Anne Loch’s unmistakeable body of work. A yellow flower on a blue ground, almost two metres high. A flock of sheep stretching across more than 3.5 metres. A moth on a canvas nearly one metre high. ... More

In Amelia Toledo’s sculptures from the Dragão cantor series; Laura Vinci’s Folhas avulsas #1, Galhinho, and Muda; Manoela Medeiros’s phytoliths; and Marcelo Silveira’s fire-marked cajacatinga wood, mineral and plant matter meet in distinct states of transformation.

LOS ANGELES, CA.- Roberts Projects announces Let’s Get It On: The Wearable Art of Betye Saar, a landmark publication organized around Saar’s early work in costume and jewelry design during the 1960s and 1970s, exploring how this formative period profoundly shaped her pioneering work in assemblage and installation. Through original drawings, essays, archival materials and installation images, the book traces Saar’s evolution from designer to artist, revealing the enduring connections between her wearable creations and her broader visual language. From theatrical costumes to leather accessories and jewelry, Saar’s early wearable artworks are as transformative as her assemblages. Until now, this part of her creative life has remained largely unseen and seldom studied, understood as an appendage to the work she made in more traditional fine art mediums rather than being central to them. The archivally-driven publication features newly ... More
COLOGNE.- Every two or three years, an artist is invited to make a new work for the Museum Ludwig’s largest wall, located in front of the main staircase in the foyer. The name Schultze Projects refers to Bernard Schultze and Ursula (Schultze-Bluhm) whose estates are held by the museum and in whose memory the series was initiated in 2017. For the fifth edition of Schultze Projects, Jana Euler (born 1982 in Friedberg) has developed a new work, Triptych – Image Viewer Connections, that deals with specific ways of seeing and perceiving art, and with the interaction between work and audience. The museum is one of the few places where seeing itself becomes an activity. Unlike in the cinema, where the gaze is guided and fixed in time, the museum experience is marked by movement: we walk, linger, talk, and discuss what we have seen. In contrast to the fast, fragmented movement of scrolling on screens, we take more time and are more concentrated, defining the duration, distance and sequence of ... More

BERN.- Kunsthalle Bern is presenting its summer program including the first part of a newly commissioned opera series by Jota Mombaça. The exhibition compost (continuum) by Jota Mombaça is one of four chapters in a non-chronological opera series, produced in collaboration with Kunsthalle Bern, Sonsbeek Biennial 2026 (Arnhem, Netherlands), Rockbund Art Museum (Shanghai, China), and Inhotim Museum (Brumadinho, Brazil). The series echoes the artist’s continuous investigation into climate catastrophe and the limits of its human apprehension. For the exhibition, Mombaça works in close collaboration with the Colombian-Canadian singer and songwriter Lido Pimienta, the composer Pedro Santiago, as well as a growing network of musicians, activists, and academics to articulate an interdisciplinary body of work that weaves together sound, poetry, installation, drawing, and sculpture. Drawing from elemental theory, Elizabeth Povinelli’s notion of 'geontology' and relational ... More
Felipe Baeza, elsewhere, still, 2026. Ink, acrylic, cut paper, twine, varnish, and watercolour on paper, 162.6 × 132.1 cm – 64 × 52 in.
HOVE.- Maureen Paley presents Errantry, the third solo exhibition at the gallery by Felipe Baeza, and his first time shown at Morena di Luna, Hove. The following is a commissioned text by Christopher Alessandrini which has been written to accompany the exhibition: To stray is to diverge from the righteous path, to wander beyond the pale of prelapsarian virtue. It suggests deviation, distraction, failure, sin. But during the Renaissance, in the era of Wunderkammern, curiosity—having shed its fraught association with decadence and indulgence—was understood as a powerful tool for apprehending the correspondences between a vast cosmic order and life on earth. And for those traditions that predated or existed outside the Christian world, knowledge gleaned from error, accident, or experiment was often instrumental to survival and social progress. Felipe Baeza has long possessed a discursive, wayward intelligence, from his collages of vintage beefcake photography spliced with ancient Ameri ... More

LONDON.- Gazelli Art House presents Interweave, a group exhibition bringing together artists whose practices connect to textile traditions while extending them into contemporary territories. Working across batik, tapestry, Jacquard weaving, carpet inlay, embroidery, digital image-making and AI, the exhibition explores textiles not simply as a medium, but as a way of thinking: one built through connection, accumulation and transformation. Spanning tapestry, painting and sculpture, the works in Interweave are united by an interest in how images, stories and materials are constructed through acts of layering and exchange. Traditional craft techniques sit alongside computational systems, ancient knowledge intersects with emerging technologies, and hand-made processes are placed in dialogue with machine-assisted forms of production. The exhibition takes its title from the fundamental structure of weaving itself: individual threads crossing to form something larger than their constituent parts. Acros ... More

Alexandra Grant debuts first solo German museum exhibition at Neues Museum Nuremberg NUREMBERG.- For her first solo museum exhibition in Germany, Ein Stern genügt, um an das Licht zu glauben (One star is enough to believe in the light), American artist Alexandra Grant has created eight monumental paintings inspired by eight women writers with a deep connection to German literature.

It highlights drawing’s capacity to express and evoke human experience while allowing visitor to gain insight into the artist’s creative process. The exposition ... More
François Ghebaly presents Patrick Jackson's monumental installation 'All Signs Fail' LOS ANGELES, CA.- François Ghebaly presents All Signs Fail, a large-scale installation of new sculptures and images by Patrick Jackson. The exhibition is made up of four parts: a giant billboard of eyes; altered bus shelter posters; a statue of a mother holding her child; and a monumental structure.

Frac des Pays de la Loire hosts Mediterranean-focused summer shows by Alex Ayed and Lito Kattou LA FLEURIAYE.- The Frac des Pays de la Loire is hosting two summer exhibitions by two international artists focusing around the Mediterranean as a living space between desert and abyss.

On a day like today, Italian painter Giacomo Balla was born
July 18, 1871. Giacomo Balla (18 July 1871 - 1 March 1958) was an Italian painter, art teacher and poet best known as a key proponent of Futurism. In his paintings, he depicted light, movement and speed.
