CAMBRIDGE, MASS.- This August, the Harvard Art Museums open The Way We Never Were: The American Professional Photographers Collection, an examination of idealized visions of life in the United States from the postwar period through the Civil Rights era. Selected from the work of 20 professional photographers and studios, these images offer insight into dominant ideals of prosperity, domesticity, and conformity; amid still urgent questions about who defines America, they remain highly relevant today. The exhibition, which marks 50 years since the formation of the American Professional Photographers Collection at Harvard, is on view August 29, 2026 through May 9, 2027 in the University Research Gallery on Level 3 at the Harvard Art Museums. An accompanying digital resource and a broad range of in-person public programming will delve deeper into the American Professional Photographers Collection and the rich history of teaching photography at Harvard University. The Way We Never Were was curated by Audrey ... More

BARCELONA.- This October, the Fundaci Joan Mir will present the first major exhibition in Spain dedicated to Charlotte Perriand (Paris, 1903-1999), one of the undisputed protagonists of 20th-century design and architecture. Entitled Charlotte Perriand: The Freedom to Rethink the World, the exhibition will celebrate a creator who revolutionised the way in which spaces were conceived and who continues to inspire architects, designers and artists throughout the world a century after her first projects. Besides her contributions to Le Corbusier’s studio, Charlotte Perriand was an exceptional figure who shattered the conventions of her time. A designer, photographer and architect, she shared an inexhaustible curiosity about the world and a spirit of travel with her fellow travellers of the Modern Movement, which left a deep mark on her creative process. The excursions she made outside of Paris, including to mountain and coastal areas, her journey around Mallorca by canoe and her six-year stay in ... More

CHICAGO, IL.- The Art Institute of Chicago opened Lee Miller: Fearless, on view August 29 through December 7, 2026. The exhibition is the first comprehensive survey of Miller’s photographs in more than 25 years, gathering approximately 150 works from across the major episodes of her singular career. From the 1920s through the 1950s, Miller wore many hats: fashion model, Surrealist innovator, magazine photographer, business owner, international adventurer, and accredited battlefield correspondent. These remarkably varied interests shaped her approach to life and creativity, which is on full display in this expansive exhibition. Born in New York, Miller moved to Paris at 20 years old, simultaneously seeking work in front of and behind the camera. She pioneered Surrealist techniques and took on daring subjects with a readiness that inspired experimental artists and fashion editors alike. She excelled at portraiture and pictured a range of cultural figures in the 1930s—from Charlie Chaplin to ... More

RIGA.- This year, the annual, international contemporary art festival Survival Kit is curated by Elena Sorokina and Simona Markel Dvork, with the Initiative for Practices and Visions of Radical Care. The project, titled Arrow of the Wind: On Artists and Healers, explores the shared terrain between art and healing—spanning therapy, incantation and ritual, physical and mental healthcare, and spiritual restoration. The exhibition takes place from August 28, until September 27, 2026 at the Riga Congress Hall. Arrow of the Wind takes its title from an ancient Latvian spell that summons the powers of the wind to heal humans and animals. Such healing spells often combined language with chanting, movement, drumming, and song. Today, they can be understood as "magical technologies" designed to restore balance and connection with the wider fabric of life. In many ways, they practiced embodied cognition long before the emergence of contemporary neuroscience. Drawing on this legacy, Arrow of the Wi ... More

BERLIN.- On the occasion of Hamburger Bahnhof’s 30th anniversary, Ayşe Erkmen is commemorating the history of the museum’s historic building with a new artwork on its faade, recalling both its original function as a railway station and, since 1996, its role as a museum of contemporary art. The artist has maintained a close connection with Hamburger Bahnhof for more than 20 years. As part of her major solo exhibition in 2008, Erkmen overlaid the clock on the eastern tower and the decorative rosette on the western tower with a drawing. To mark the anniversary, she has developed a new version of the artwork, which has become a long term feature of the faade, complementing Dan Flavin’s iconic light installation as one of Hamburger Bahnhof’s defining visual landmarks in the city. In 2008, on the occasion of her exhibition “Weggefhrten” (Companions), Erkmen created the temporary installation “no time/no flower”, which directly responded to two distinct ... More

BERLIN.- What happens when a weaver stops treating fabric as something to preserve and begins cutting, scratching, knotting and deliberately damaging it instead? At Berlin's Kunstgewerbemuseum, an exhibition devoted to Sofie Dawo makes the case that destruction can also be a way of creating. Now on view through January 17, 2027, “Sofie Dawo. Textile Experiments” brings together 22 works by the German artist alongside a selection of works on paper, offering a concentrated look at a figure who helped push weaving beyond its traditional associations with craft and decoration. Dawo, who lived from 1926 to 2010, approached textiles with an unusually physical sense of freedom. Rather than treating woven fabric as a finished surface, she regarded it as something that could be tested, altered and even wounded. She cut threads, tied them together, scratched surfaces and intentionally damaged intact sections of cloth. At other times she introduced materials such as metal, nylon and polyester, p ... More

SAN JOSE, CA.- Featuring exhibitions by Carl Cheng and Amia Yokoyama, as well as a newly commissioned mural by Zoe Walsh—all of whom live and work in Los Angeles—this ICA LA season considers the way artists are reshaping and reimagining our relationships to nature, to technology, and to one another. In the main galleries is Carl Cheng: Nature Never Loses, the first in-depth survey of this pioneering Los Angeles artist’s six-decade career. Following presentations at The Contemporary Austin, Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Bonnefanten, Maastricht, and Museum Tinguely, Basel, the exhibition concludes its international tour at ICA LA in a fitting homecoming for Cheng, who has been living and working in the city for the majority of his career. The exhibition also recalls the museum’s own institutional history, featuring work that was presented in the artist's 1998 exhibition at the Santa Monica Museum of Art. Bringing together over 50 artworks and archival ma ... More
MM Yu, measures, 2026. Acrylic on canvas, 16.93h x 17.13w x 1.57d in 43h x 43.5w x 4d cm.
MANILA.- sum of its parts is photographer and painter MM Yu’s response to an art ecology that operates on constant making. In the present series consisting of reassembled canvases and photographs, she turns to the material surface as her primary apparatus. Through modularity, the paintings continue to employ her dripping technique with pigment while the canvas itself becomes her main device for exploration. She attempts to find new configurations for her works, breaking them into separate components to swap, flip, or recombine, creating new relationships in their form. Consequently, it figures as a manner of circumventing gravity’s constraints. Wet paint is bound to flow downward, so it is only in their aftermath that the artist maneuvers them into twists, obliques, and disjoints. Paintings largely comprise the exhibition, but the incorporation of photographs notably surfaces parallels between Yu’s painting and photographic practices. “Untitled Pantone,” a collection of ...

Retained by Senna for personal use in Europe.
LONDON.- RM Sotheby’s will offer the 1991 Honda NSX used regularly by three-time Formula 1 Drivers’ World Champion Ayrton Senna at The London Auction at the Peninsula Hotel on 31 October 2026. The car, estimated to sell for 500,000–800,000, was personally allocated to Senna by Honda Portugal for his exclusive use in Europe. It will sit alongside a carefully curated selection of significant automobiles at the flagship UK sale at the Peninsula London. “Senna’s legacy runs far deeper than his three world championships. His style and elegance are everlasting, and when you think of Senna—nonchalantly dressed in jeans, white socks and brown loafers behind the wheel of a road car—you think of an NSX. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a genuine piece of sporting and cultural history” said Sholto Gilbertson, Director of Sales, UK at RM Sotheby’s. At the start of 1991, Senna already counted two F1 ... More
Han Yong, Exhibition view of Landscape As Body, Galerie Urs Meile, Beijing, China, August 29 – October 18, 2026.
BEIJING.- Galerie Urs Meile opened Landscape As Body, Han Yong’s (b. 1978) first exhibition at the gallery. The exhibition presents a selection of Han’s works from different time periods that encapsulate his life experiences and the evolving relationship between the artist and the world around him. Han’s practice unfolds at the intersection of his body, spirit, and landscapes, exploring the intertwined relationship between the external world and personal experiences, emotions, and memories. Han Yong was born in Yanbian, on the border of northeastern China. The region’s geographical and cultural uniqueness gives him broader horizons, without the constraints of established frameworks within traditional inland Chinese culture. While studying painting at Yanbian University, he yearned to engage with art-historical discourses and immerse himself in grand narratives. However, through his thorough practice, he has shifted back towards his personal experience and everyday life. Ordin ... More

This incredible gift allows us to look back at that ever-transforming history with fresh eyes. The backdrop of IU provides fertile ground to explore the cro ... More

BERLIN.- A bowl might produce a sound. Tea preparation could become a ritual for restoring human connection. Dinner plates may one day need to accommodate algae, insects or foods that look more like jellies than anything served at today's table. These are some of the possibilities explored in “2101 – Future Ceramics. Dining Culture of the Future,” now on view at Berlin's Kunstgewerbemuseum. Bringing together twelve projects by students from the Berlin University of the Arts, the exhibition asks a deceptively simple question: What will it mean to sit down together and eat 75 years from now? The exhibition opened on July 9 and continues through February 28, 2027. The Staatliche Museen zu Berlin currently lists the show as on view at the Kunstgewerbemuseum, where the contemporary designs have been inserted among the museum's historic collections of porcelain and faience. The future imagined here isn't simply one of futuristic gadgets and unfamiliar foods. Instead, the students began ... More

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK.- The Oklahoma City Museum of Art (OKCMOA) announced today its spring 2027 exhibition, Elemental Visions: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and the Moving Image, which will open to the public on Saturday, February 27. Organized by the Oklahoma City Museum of Art in collaboration with the Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation, the exhibition will feature a number of works on loan from the Foundation.

Elemental Visions is structured in four visually and thematically distinct sections: • Fire: Illumination, Transformation, Spectacle • Water: Immersion, Duration, Flow • Earth: Landscape, Labor, Materiality • Air: Atmosphere, Altitude, Algorithm “This immersive exhibition will bring historic and contemporary works into con ...

Mennour brings a cross-generational lineup from Calder to Kusama and Lee Ufan to Frieze Seoul SEOUL.- Mennour is heading to Frieze Seoul 2026 with a presentation that stretches across generations, geographies and radically different approaches to making art. From early 20th-century figures to some of the most recognizable names working today, the gallery's booth will bring together sculpture, painting and conceptual practices in a deliberately broad conversation. The fair takes place at COEX in Seoul from September 2 through 5, with Mennour presenting at Booth C19. The gallery's participation is still forthcoming as of August 29.

Zander Galerie Cologne presents Tina Barney exhibition Silver Shadows COLOGNE.- Zander Galerie Cologne is presenting Tina Barney – Silver Shadows, the acclaimed American photographer’s first exhibition with the gallery, following the announcement of her representation this spring. For more than four decades, Tina Barney has been a defining figure in contemporary photography. Born in New York City in 1945, Barney has photographed the world she knows most intimately—her own family and close friends—creating complex images that blur the boundaries between observation and direction. She is renowned for the scale and intricacy of her color photographs, which examine the family dynamics of generational privilege within extraordinary domestic environments on the East Coast of the United States. Among the first photographers to work with large color prints in the early 1980s, Barney blends the grand canvas of historical portrait painting with the private fabric of family photography. Silver Shadows brings together two distinct bodies of black-and-white ... More
Dorothy Iannone's intimate love poem to Berlin goes on view in full for the first time BERLIN.- Love, desire and freedom run through Dorothy Iannone's The Berlin Beauties, a deeply personal cycle of drawings and texts created soon after the American-born artist made West Berlin her home. Nearly half a century later, all 70 parts of the series have been brought together for the first time in a museum presentation, where Iannone's unabashed exploration of intimacy is being placed in conversation with a new generation. Now on view at Berlin's Gemldegalerie through September 13, “Dorothy Iannone: The Berlin Beauties. In Dialogue with Alejandra Pombo Su” pairs Iannone's landmark 1977–78 series with new work by Galician artist Alejandra Pombo Su. The exhibition is a special presentation of the Kupferstichkabinett, which has held The Berlin Beauties in its collection since 1988. At first glance, The Berlin Beauties can feel like an illustrated love letter. Iannone combines black ink, traces of pencil and occasional photography with texts written in both German and Englis ...

Beatriz Milhazes brings color, rhythm and printmaking experimentation to the Pinacoteca de Sao Paulo SAO PAULO.- Beatriz Milhazes has spent decades building one of the most recognizable visual languages in contemporary Brazilian art: floral forms, arabesques, circles, geometric structures and bursts of saturated color layered into compositions that feel both rigorously constructed and exuberantly alive. Now, an exhibition at the Pinacoteca de So Paulo turns the spotlight on a less frequently examined but essential part of her practice: printmaking. “Beatriz Milhazes: Prints from the Collection of the Pinacoteca de So Paulo,” currently on view at Pina Estao through March 14, 2027, brings together 27 prints made between 1996 and 2019. It is the first time this group of works has been presented together, offering a sustained look at Milhazes’ long collaboration with Jean-Paul Russell, founder of Durham Press in Pennsylvania. Curated by Renato Menezes, the exhibition is not simply a survey of Milhazes’ prints. It is also a study of what happens when an artist whose practice is ... More
Group exhibition at Gajah Gallery Manila explores architecture, technology, and culture MANILA.- Gajah Gallery Manila presents Holding Structures, Soft Bodies, a group exhibition featuring rising artists Jemana Murti, Kayleigh Goh, and Sarah Choo Jing. Taking its departure from the familiar promise of structure, the exhibition considers how the frameworks that organise everyday life are shaped by the people, histories, and technologies that inhabit and transform them. Holding Structures, Soft Bodies brings together sculpture, painting, photography, and video installations to examine how architectural, cultural, technological, and social structures are negotiated in everyday life, and what emerges as they shift. Drawing from Balinese iconography, Jemana Murti uses Artificial Intelligence, 3D modelling, and digital fabrication to transform familiar cultural motifs. In several of his works, elements reminiscent of Balinese wood carvings—one of the island's longstanding and revered art forms—appear as blurred, pixel-like forms, softened and partially obscured. His works refl ... More

Sonoma Valley Museum of Art to present first museum retrospective of M. Louise Stanley SONOMA, CA.- Sonoma Valley Museum of Art will present The Real-Life Art History of M. Louise Stanley, September 19, 2026 through January 24, 2027. Stanley’s large-scale acrylic paintings, gouache and watercolor works on paper, and sculptural objects are presented alongside selections of the artist’s sketchbooks, studies, photos, and notes from her personal archives, revealing her artistic process and her relentless creative pursuits. M. Louise Stanley stands a bit apart from other Bay Area Figurative artists such as Robert Arneson, James Albertson, and Peter Saul, who also embrace humor (both light and dark, high and low) and comic-style treatments to comment on the more serious side of life. Setting her apart from her male contemporaries, Stanley’s work is celebrated for its wildly imaginative narratives and distinctly female perspective, shaped by her keen observations of everyday life. “We are especially pleased that this exhibition is the first museum retrospective of M.

On a day like today, French painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres was born
August 29, 1780. Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (29 August 1780 - 14 January 1867) was a French Neoclassical painter. Ingres was profoundly influenced by past artistic traditions and aspired to become the guardian of academic orthodoxy against the ascendant Romantic style. Although he considered himself a painter of history in the tradition of Nicolas Poussin and Jacques-Louis David, it is his portraits, both painted and drawn, that are recognized as his greatest legacy. His expressive distortions of form and space made him an important precursor of modern art, influencing Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and other modernists. In this image: Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (French, 1780 - 1867), Comtesse d’Haussonville, dated 1845. Oil on canvas, 51 ⅞ x 36 ¼ inches (131.8 x 92). The Frick Collection, New York.
