Pard Morrison, Everlove, 2026. Fluoronar on welded aluminum, 120 x 30 x 10 in. each PMOR193
SANTA FE, NM.- Everlove, an exhibition of new work by Pard Morrison will open at Charlotte Jackson Fine Art on July 3 and extend to August 1. An opening reception with the artist will be on Friday, July 3, from 5-7 p.m. at the gallery, which is located at 554 S. Guadalupe in the Railyard Art District. It is best to let yourself slowly wander through the gallery once, then circle back and walk through again, even more slowly. As the viewer engages with them in physical space, these painted sculptures radiate a sensation of aliveness, a persistent "beingness". Walking among the columns (ranging from 6 to 10 feet tall) in particular, almost feels like moving through a group of people, or through a forest of tall trees. Move close. Look closer. They seem almost to be speaking to you. The language of Pard Morrison's painted sculptures, whether the columns, cubes, or the stacked box ... More
A rare Marx (USA) prototype of one of their classic pre-WWII character toys, a tin windup Harold Lloyd, was hand-painted and all original. Sold for $3,321 against an estimate of $1,000-$2,000.
WILLOUGHBY, OHIO.- On May 30, Milestone Auctions in metro Cleveland auctioned the first installment of antique toys from David Leitner’s remarkable personal collection built over a 50-year period. Nearly 650 choice toys from various categories took the spotlight, including early European windups, postwar Japanese robots and space toys; and a diverse assortment of rare motorcycle toys, many retaining their original pictorial boxes. Throughout the day, Internet and phone bidders were dominant. Milestone’s co-owner Miles King observed that this probably correlated to the origins of most of the toys being offered. “A high percentage of bids came from outside the US, especially countries where the toys were manufactured. We expected overseas bidders would be very active because Dave’s collection contained so many desirable antique European and Japanese toys. He owned many pieces that collectors could relate to worldwide ... More

From there it was lent to the Guildhall, Plymouth, ... More

Erna Rosenstein, Ghetto, 1946. National Museum in Poznań. Digital Photography Studio at the National Museum in Poznań. The Estate of Erna Rosenstein - courtesy of Foksal Gallery Foundation and Hauser & Wirth.
VIENNA.- Against the backdrop of the Shoah and historical upheavals in Poland, Erna Rosenstein’s works bear witness to the resilience of an artist who never wavered in her political and artistic ideals. In a career spanning six decades, Rosenstein developed a multimedia creative cosmos that reveals how the present interweaves with memories of the past, and how collective and individual experiences are intertwined. General Director Stella Rollig: Rosenstein’s works reject a culture of remembrance that regards history as a closed and single narrative. The artist instead sees memory as an open-ended process in which the past is repeatedly reordered. In this respect, her work also touches on pivotal issues in museum and academic practice: History never presents itself as a self- ... More
DRESDEN.- From July 1 to November 1, 2026, the Ningbo Museum in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang presents a selection of so-called “export paintings” from the collections of the Dresden Museum of Ethnology. The richly colored brush drawings are making a temporary return to the city where they were originally created. They are among those rare collections of images now virtually impossible to find in China itself. Titled “Glimpse and Resonance. Scenes of Eastern Life in 19th-Century Ningbo Export Paintings,” the exhibition reveals glimpses into everyday life at that time. The paper paintings vividly document Ningbo’s trade and crafts, working environments, and customs. The collection features a selection of 50 issues from a collection of 90 booklets assembled by Paul Georg v. Möllendorff (1847–1901), a German resident of Ningbo. In 1958, his daughter, Emma von Seckendorff, ... More

BERLIN.- Galerie Thomas Schulte presents Just Looking, a solo exhibition of works by Richard Deacon, including new prints and large-format ceramic sculptures exhibited for the first time. With a keen interest in the characteristics of his materials, Deacon extends their formal and experiential possibilities through the systematic approach and ever-evolving methods of construction that have come to define his decades-spanning practice. The diverse series and bodies of work featured here underscore his production of variations – particularly in ways that broach familiarity, while remaining wholly singular. In glazed ceramic, digital prints on polyester, and lacquered steel, surfaces transform and take on a character of their own: with varying degrees of mattness and sheen, alternatingly smooth and rough, open and closed, seemingly flat and decidedly voluminous. I Know What You Are Thinking (2023-24) is a series ofceramic sculptures in irregular shapes that lie low ... More
‘Learning to Drive in Birmingham’ (2026), Laisul Hoque. Image courtesy of Laisul Hoque.
BIRMINGHAM.- Grand Union in partnership with Bow Arts present a new body of work by Laisul Hoque which culminates in a solo exhibition launching in July 2026. Capturing the inner worlds and emotional landscapes of the city’s residents, seen through the perspective of someone learning to navigate Birmingham as a first-generation migrant, Hoque builds temporary communities through meaningful exchanges of services, labour, and time. Filmed inside vehicles and among construction sites, blocked roads, and sprawling South Asian neighbourhoods on the city’s outskirts, the work reflects on mobility, belonging, and displacement, while offering a glimpse into the lives of Bangladeshi communities who have made Birmingham their home. As the artist learns to drive in a city seemingly built around cars, encounters with friends, driving instructors, and archival traces of Bangladeshi political figures reveal Birmingham’s ... More

Mandy Franca, Self-portrait, Studio in Rotterdam, 2025.
SCHIEDAM.- Every breath contains traces of other bodies, climates, environments and histories. The atmosphere endlessly circulates across planetary and historical time, carrying particles that have passed through oceans, plants, infrastructures and countless human and ecological lives. Air moves across borders that remain politically, technologically and geographically divided, binding bodies and environments through invisible yet shared conditions of circulation. In I Breathe an Endless Universe in Me, Rotterdam-based artist Mandy Franca approaches breathing not simply as a biological process, but as a shared infrastructure through which bodies, technologies, climates and geographies continuously pass through one another. Bringing together photography, painting, moving image, sound and textile, the exhibition explores how intimacy, memory and presence are shaped by the systems that connect us across distance. Working from her personal digital archive developed by the artist and her ... More

Major Stefan Caltia retrospective 'Transilvania / Extravaganza' opens in Sibiu SIBIU.- Transilvania / Extravaganza brings together 130 works by Romanian painter Ștefan Câlția—paintings, drawings, prints, and artist's books spanning 1970 to 2026—across approximately 1,000 square meters. One of the major figures of Romanian contemporary art, Câlția trained under illustrator Julius Podlipny in Timișoara and later under Corneliu Baba at the Institute of Fine Arts in Bucharest. His practice is rooted in Transylvanian rural space and its relationship to nature, memory, and the imaginary. He is now placed in lineage with Füssli, Zurbarán and Goya, but indebted to Max Beckmann, for the layering of his symbolic worlds, and compared to Chagall—telling about the possibility of the eastern context to have dreams; Italian nineteenth-century painting is also traceable in his use of diagonal perspective and attention to texture that we can see mainly in the ...

Andreas Brunner wins 2025 Lucerne publication prize and opens new solo exhibition LUCERNE.- Andreas Brunner (*1988) was awarded the 2025 spot publication prize by the Kommission Bildende Kunst Stadt Luzern. The 22nd edition in the spot on series will be presented at the exhibition opening. Published by Spector Books, entitled Substitute for a Sunset, the edition provides comprehensive insight into Brunner’s work of the past ten years. The Lucerne artist has created three new work groups for the exhibition, which he arranges in the form of a fragmentary landscape, or rather a vague memory of one. His works explore urban situations and the cycle of growth and decay. Brunner uses alienation as a tool. Scales shift and elements are isolated: miniature architectures, out-size cigarettes or empty advertising signs encounter one another. Brunner frequently incorporates elements from urban space into his works, in particular guidance ... More
Public Art Norway announces the opening of the National 22 July Memorial OSLO.- Public Art Norway announced the completion of the National 22 July Memorial in the new Government Quarter in central Oslo, Norway. The bombing in Oslo and the massacre on the island of Utøya on July 22, 2011 were the worst terrorist attacks in modern Norwegian history. The far-right nationalist killed eight people in the Government Quarter in central Oslo, and 69 people at the AUF (Workers’ Youth League) summer camp on the nearby island of Utøya. In 2012, the government decided to establish two official memorial sites, one in connection with Utøya, the other in the Government Quarter in Oslo. With his proposal titled Upholding, the Norwegian artist Matias Faldbakken won the international competition to design the national memorial site in the Government Quarter. The decision was announced on April 8, 2025, during a public event ... More
Peter Klare's Schwaananien opens at Haus am Kleistpark in Berlin BERLIN.- Haus am Kleistpark today opened Schwaananien, a solo exhibition by Berlin-based artist Peter Klare, whose work moves freely between painting, photography, sculpture and installation. On view through September 13, 2026, the exhibition presents an expansive body of work in which color, form and materiality become ways of rethinking how images are experienced in space. At the heart of the exhibition are Klare’s monumental flower paintings. Their large scale and immersive presence transform painting into something physical, almost architectural. Rather than simply presenting floral images, the works draw visitors into an atmosphere of color, light and movement, creating spaces that feel both real and imagined. The new works are connected to Klare’s recent return to en plein air painting. At a time when digital and AI-generated images ... More
Helsinki School photographer Sandra Kantanen blends digital imagery and Chinese ink aesthetics BERLIN.- Persons Projects presents Bamboo Whispers in Fading Light, a solo exhibition by Finnish artist Sandra Kantanen, one of the leading figures of the Helsinki School. The exhibition brings together works that reflect Kantanen’s long-standing fascination with idealized Asian landscapes. The show continues her search for environments threatened or already damaged by human activity, which she then reinterprets through her artistic intervention. Inspired by classical Chinese shan shui painting and Japanese aesthetics, Kantanen creates photographic landscapes that exist between reality and imagination. Ever since her studies in Beijing in the early 2000s, the artist has explored Eastern philosophies that engage with nature not as something to conquer or merely document, but as a source of contemplation and spiritual reflection. Her photographs evoke idealized ... More
Exhibition brings together a selection of seminal works by Katalin Ladik and Tomaso Binga RIJEKA.- Radical Subjectivity, a large-scale double solo exhibition by Katalin Ladik and Tomaso Binga at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka brings together works by two leading artists who, since the 1960s and 1970s, have developed experimental practices focused on the relationship between language, the body, and voice. Hungarian artist Katalin Ladik, born in Novi Sad, and Italian artist Tomaso Binga (born Bianca Pucciarelli Menna) are among the most significant figures in European visual poetry and performance art. Through a radical examination of the boundaries of language, voice, and corporeality, their practices address questions of identity, gender, and subjectivity, while also shaping spaces of resistance to dominant cultural, social, and gender norms. Alongside their shared interest in visual poetry and the limits and potentials of language, ... More
