SOMERSET.-CLOSE Gallery is presenting Rock Paper Scissors, a group exhibition running from 20 November to 20 December. Drawing inspiration from the innocence of childhood play and the universal game of the playground, the exhibition explores the elemental relationship between hand, material, and imagination. Just as the game rock, paper, scissors distils decision-making into simple gestures, the works on view embrace pared-back processes and raw materials, uncovering beauty and meaning in the handmade and the natural. Artists in the exhibition work with elemental forms and familiar matter, stone, wood, fibre, pigment, feathers and found fragments, transforming them into new expressions of texture, balance, and touch. The title evokes a world of playfulness and tactility, reminding us of the enduring creativity sparked by simple acts and materials. By foregrounding nature and making, celebrates the imaginative leap ... More

MANTUA.- Mantua—a city known around the world for Mantegna, Giulio Romano, and its Renaissance splendor—is preparing to open a bold new chapter in its cultural life. On 29 November 2025, the historic Palazzo della Ragione will reopen its doors as the home of the Sonnabend Collection Mantova, a world-class contemporary art museum dedicated to one of the most influential collections of the 20th century.

CLEVELAND, OH.- The Cleveland Museum of Art’s (CMA) newest exhibition, Filippino Lippi and Rome, reveals the artistic processes and iconographic ingenuities of one of the most gifted and accomplished Renaissance painters, Filippino Lippi. The first-of-its-kind exhibition to focus on Lippi’s transformative period in the Eternal City (1488–93) and its lasting impact on his oeuvre, the exhibition juxtaposes Lippi’s Roman artworks with their Florentine precursors and successors. Visitors will encounter 25 paintings, drawings, and antiquities in direct conversation, with important loans from national and international lenders, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art; His Majesty King Charles III; the National Gallery, London; the Galleria degli Uffizi; and the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. Together, the artworks—some of which will be displayed outside of Europe for the first time—elucidate the evolution of Lippi’s artistic practice before, during, and after his Roman period. On view beginning Friday, Nove ... More
Antonio Ligabue, Self-Portrait with Flies, n.d. (1956–1957). Oil on hardboard, 32.5 × 25.7 cm. Private collection.
CAGLIARI.- This winter, the Palazzo di Città in Cagliari opens its doors to one of the most intense and emotionally charged figures of 20th-century Italian art: Antonio Ligabue. Beginning on 28 November, the historic venue hosts Antonio Ligabue. La grande mostra, the first major exhibition in Sardinia devoted to an artist whose life and work continue to captivate audiences decades after his death. The exhibition brings together 60 works, including oils and drawings, offering a sweeping journey through Ligabue’s turbulent life and visionary creativity. Thanks to a collaboration with Arthemisia, visitors will have the rare chance to explore Ligabue’s most emblematic themes—wild animals, rural scenes, carriages, and his unforgettable self-portraits—presented with a clarity and emotional depth that reveal the artist’s ferocious search for identity and belonging. Often called the “Italian Van Gogh,” Ligabue remains a profoundly human figure—fragile, fierce, misunderstood, and driven by an urgent need ... More
Sean Scully, Untitled (Wall), 2025. Oil on copper, 100 x 70 cm.
DUBLIN.- The exhibition titled 'Tapestry' brings together four distinct bodies of work, each rooted in a deep engagement with the emotional potential of abstraction. It begins with a series of recent pencil on- paper drawings, intimate in scale and delicately rendered. Alongside these are a number of hand- woven tapestries, produced in collaboration with master craftsmen at Mourne Textiles, where the drawn line is translated into fibre, texture, and weight. These are shown in conversation with new, large-scale paintings from the Stack series — shown here for the first time — these works merge drawing, painting and spray paint to create layered, muscular works that hover between architectural weight and painterly gesture. Completing the exhibition is a selection of new oil-on- copper paintings, smaller and more modest in scale but expansive in rich colour and emotional depth. The exhibition highlights the way drawing functions as a foundational structure in Sean Scully’s work. Dra ... More
LONDON.- The first ever exhibition of the portraits of the Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck (active 1422–1441), will open at the National Gallery in winter 2026. Bringing together for the first time, from across Europe, all nine of the artist’s painted portraits, Van Eyck: The Portraits (21 November 2026 – 11 April 2027) will show half of the twenty or so surviving autograph pictures by one of the supreme figures of the Northern Renaissance. This is an artist who not only changed the genre of portraiture - but also redefined who got to be portrayed. Capturing a moment when access to art widened, the sitters van Eyck depicted were no longer only kings, queens, or aristocrats but affluent merchants, successful craftsmen and the artist’s relatives. Exceptional reunions will see the Gallery’s own popular Arnolfini Portrait (1434), the most visited painting page on its website, displayed for the first time ever with a panel showing the same sitter, 'Portrait of a Man (Giovanni? Arnolfini)' (c.1440 ... More

LONDON.- Elizabeth Xi Bauer is presenting COBRA, an exhibition of new works by Shadi Al-Atallah, a London-based Saudi artist known for emotionally charged figurative paintings that inhabit liminal spaces between intimacy and conflict. While themes of identity, queerness, and spirituality remain central to his practice, COBRA marks a striking transformation—shifting from the painterly to the immersive, from the singular image to a multi-sensory world of video, sound, object, and light. Al-Atallah’s figures—often genderless, fragmented, or in states of transformation—resist binary readings and evoke a terrain of contradictions. Drawing on religious mythology, literature, science, and gender theory, his visual language returns to the body: naked, unbound, and in motion. At the centre of COBRA are three large-scale video projections cast onto suspended curtains of fabric that curve and ripple through the gallery like the body of a serpent. These moving images draw from Al-Atall ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Albrecht Dürer is the undisputed genius of the Northern Renaissance, a visionary unbound by a single medium. He carved a career spanning painting, printmaking, drawing, and art theory, mastering each with dazzling skill. Famous in his own lifetime for his portraits of princes and patricians, his luminous drawings and watercolors transformed the sketch into an art form in its own right: works such as Young Hare stand as marvels of observation, capturing life with a precision and sensitivity that still amaze today. He was native to the bustling city of Nuremberg, but his travels brought him face-to-face with Renaissance humanism, Venetian color, and classical ideals of beauty. These he absorbed and reimagined with northern precision. As court artist to Maximilian I, and confidant of humanists like Erasmus, he moved easily among the great minds of his age, his musings on measurement and proportion establishing him as one of Europe’s great thinkers. But he never stopped producing wor ... More

ST. GALLEN.- At the end of November 2025, the Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen will open the first institutional solo exhibition in Switzerland by the artist Sam Porritt (*1979 in London UK, lives in Zurich/CH). Porritt’s practice unfolds predominantly through the medium of drawing but also encompasses sculpture and spatial installations. Entitled «One Thing After Another (Drawings 2005–2025)», the exhibition will provide the first comprehensive overview of Porritt's drawing practice over the past twenty years — ranging from spontaneous ink drawings to complex sheets worked intensively with wax crayon. «What are we doing here? And why should we care?» Sam Porritt’s work is characterised by an interest in both conceptual and social questions, which he explores through the act of drawing. At its core lies a finely tuned sensitivity to the paradoxes of human existence. In his daily drawing practice, Porritt processes everyday observations, anecdotes or headlines that capture his attention. Yet for him, drawin ... More

S.M.A.K. presents the group exhibition Resistance GHENT.- Resistance. The Power of the Image investigates how Spanish artists have used art as a means of protest to demand new rights and expose abuses – an activism that dates back to the Spanish War and the overthrow of the Second Republic (1931-1939). A crucial moment was the Spanish Pavilion at the 1937 World Fair in Paris, where denunciations of the horrors of the Spanish Civil War gained an international platform through diverse artistic forms. Picasso created ‘Guernica’ for the occasion, a painting that remains an enduring symbol of resistance and art’s role therein. The exhibition invites visitors to take a renewed look at what democracy means, why it is necessary, and the challenges it faces. At the same time, it provides space for critical reflection on how we, as a society, shape our identity. Resistance. The Power of the Image focuses on two pivotal moments in Spain’s democratization process, when art emerged as a political instrument. The first is the 1970s ... More
Monumental new sculpture by Luke Jerram to go on display at Royal Observatory Greenwich GREENWICH.- On 3 March 2026, Mirror Moon by multi-disciplinary British artist Luke Jerram will go on display at the Royal Observatory Greenwich.

Made of stainless steel and measuring two metres in diameter, this new installation uses accurate topographic d ... More
Flowers Gallery Hong Kong debuts Stuart Pearson Wright's darkly humorous solo show Roadkill HONG KONG.- Flowers Gallery Hong Kong opens Roadkill, the first solo exhibition in Asia by acclaimed British painter Stuart Pearson Wright.The exhibition presents a new series of paintings created over the last five years, offering a deeply personal and darkly humorous reflection on one of the most challenging chapters in the artist’s life. Best known for his psychologically-charged portraiture, Wright uses the language of painting to explore the tension between vulnerability, absurdity, and resilience, featuring the artist’s renowned embodiment of rich surfaces and fine detail. In this body of work, anthropomorphism becomes a central device: human figures merge with animal traits, everyday objects, and theatrical exaggerations. These hybrid presences serve as both unsettling and comical stand-ins for the human condition. Humour functions here not merely as an artistic strategy, but as catharsis—providing an irreverent and playful counterweight to themes of grief, isolation, and fra ... More
mudac reveals Times in Tapestry, a major exhibition on political power and textile art LAUSANNE.- mudac and the Toms Pauli Foundation lift the veil on an exhibition where wall tapestry becomes a bold political and social manifesto. Bringing together masterpieces from the Toms collection and contemporary works by Goshka Macuga and Grayson Perry, this exhibition highlights tapestry – often monumental in scale – as a powerful medium of propaganda and critical reflection. Throughout history, tapestry has served as a formidable vehicle for storytelling and testimony. From medieval times to contemporary practice, it has offered a space where collective aspirations, historical narratives and present-day concerns converge. This exhibition showcases major works from the Toms collection, woven in the renowned Brussels workshops between 1660 and 1725, alongside pieces by contemporary artists Goshka Macuga and Grayson Perry. Classical works such as The Story of Scipio Africanus or The Emperors Titus and Vespasian stage symbolic and glorious episodes from Roman history. Two tapestries ... More
At the Secession, Cevdet Erek reimagines ornamentation through sound and space VIENNA.- Some of Cevdet Erek’s site-specific installations and sonic environments, placed at the intersection of sound, sculpture, and architecture, evolve around the idea of ‘sound ornamentation’. With this term, the artist refers to Adolf Loos’s Ornament and Crime (1908) amongst others. This text celebrates lack of ornamentation as the mark of a ‘cultivated’ society. Loos’ polemic is key to a moralising discourse that once sought to purge architecture of decoration in the name of progress. In that context, ornament – associated with sensuality, femininity, and excess – was condemned as wasteful and irrational. Loos’ text linked ornament to primitivism and degeneration, framing modern Western culture as superior to the supposedly ‘undeveloped’. Such rhetoric not only marginalised the close relationship between ornament and abstraction but also exposed the colonial and patriarchal logics underpinning modernist aesthetics. Erek re-enters this ideological terrain, transforming ornamentation from ... More
Museum Folkwang traces Germaine Krull's radical journey through photography and exile ESSEN.- Germaine Krull (1897–1985) had a lasting influence on the history of photography with her artistic photographic works. Less well known is her extensive journalistic work, in which she reflects on her biography and her photographic practice. The exhibition Germaine Krull: Chien Fou. Author and Photographer presents a protagonist and chronicler of the 20th century who was never merely a conformist witness of her time. Germaine Krull’s biography reveals numerous twists and turns and fits into the history of many biographies that were significantly influenced by the political events of the 20th century. However, she never viewed herself as someone who wasted her time. To this day, she continues to share with us not only her life’s journey and experiences, but also her political convictions, personal attitudes, and the reasons behind her decisions. In the exhibition, she takes us through the phase of her photographic career within the Parisian avant-garde and to the south of France in the m ... More
The New York Historical presents a powerful new exhibition, The Recordings: Voices from the Shoah Tapes NEW YORK, NY.- This November, The New York Historical presents a powerful new exhibition, The Recordings: Voices from the Shoah Tapes, on view November 28, 2025 – March 29, 2026. An exhibition of the Jewish Museum Berlin, it features a special audio installation offering selections from the recently uncovered archive of Shoah (1985), Claude Lanzmann’s groundbreaking documentary about the Holocaust. “Hearing the voices and personal stories of those who survived the Holocaust will, we hope, provide a vital history lesson to a new generation,” said Dr. Louise Mirrer, president and CEO of The New York Historical. “In the context of rising antisemitism today, The Recordings offers a powerful example of how quickly the perspective that Jewish people and their faith are to be superseded can seep into a nation’s political consciousness, then drive violence on the world stage. We are grateful to the Jewish Museum Berlin for partnering with us as we bring the important early recor ... More
Quiet forms, lasting echoes: Siegen museum explores 80 years of Morandi's influence SIEGEN.- Giorgio Morandi (1890–1964 in Bologna) is known for his still-life works and landscape paintings. Throughout his life, he focused on depicting simple, everyday objects such as bottles, jugs, vases, and bowls.In his paintings and drawings, he constantly varied the arrangement of objects so that, despite the compositions being similar, no two images are exactly alike. They are reduced to the rich quietness of basic forms. It is precisely in the repetitions of these same objects that the slight distinctions are highlighted as striking phenomena. This tension between repetition and difference was what brought attention to Morandi, one of the great loners of modern painting. The retrospective exhibition Giorgio Morandi: Resonances at the Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen explores Morandi’s standout position in the art of the last 80 years. It shows more than 80 works by the painter, ranging from his early work in the 1920s through to the 1960s. The presentation begins with the ext ... More
