VIENNA.- Select paintings by the eminent Austrian painter Herbert Boeckl (1894–1966) enter into a tension-filled dialogue with sculptures by the Swiss sculptor Hans Josephsohn (1920–2012) in the exhibition Herbert Boeckl – Hans Josephsohn. Figural Archetypes which addresses existential and universal questions of humanity, and will open up new spaces of association. Though the two artists never met, their oeuvres show fundamental parallels in terms of their form-finding processes and their concepts of corporeality and materiality. Irrespective of their differences with regards to historical, geographical and cultural constructs, the juxtaposition reveals surprising analogies in their works regarding formal esthetics and phenomenology. Despite the increasing prevalence of abstract art since the 1950s, neither Boeckl nor Josephsohn crossed the threshold into abstraction, and instead remained faithful to representationalism and especially to the human figure as a carrier of artistic ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Hoping to break out of a sales slump at Marvel in the early 1960s, veteran comic creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby hit on the idea of doing a super-team. Kirby, who thought super heroes were due for a revival after 15 years of being pushed aside by romance, horror, and war comics, saw it as smart business. Lee just once wanted to “do the type of story I myself would enjoy reading.” The Fantastic Four forever changed their careers, their lives, and the comic book industry. Some of the most iconic moments in Marvel history are here, starting with Reed Richards, his girlfriend Sue Storm, his best friend Ben Grimm, and her little brother Johnny Storm crash landing their rocket after it has been hit by cosmic rays and discovering they have been transformed into Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Thing, and the Human Torch in issue No. 1. They were emotionally complex characters, who weren’t always sure whether their powers were a benefit or burden. Stories were set in New York City, not ... More
ATHENS, GA.- Over his seven-decade career, Chicago native Richard Hunt (1935 – 2023) became one of the nation’s most prolific public sculptors, creating 160 large-scale commissions in 24 different states and Washington, D.C. Made of welded and cast steel, aluminum, copper and bronze, his abstract creations often resemble natural forms, whether plant or animal. Often seen as a post-Black artist, Hunt in fact promotes ideals of freedom and equality through his work. His career spanned the length of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements into modern-day campaigns for social justice, and many of his monuments commemorate historic figures such as Emmett Till, Ida B. Wells and Martin Luther King, Jr. Bridging the gap between abstract art and the Black experience, he intertwines inspiration from his ancestry and identity with that from history, mythology and spirituality. The Georgia Museum of Art first published “Richard Hunt: Synthesis” in 2018, in conjunction with a retrospective exhibition of the ... More
LONDON.- Tate Modern presents the UK’s first major exhibition dedicated to multidisciplinary artist Ana Mendieta (1948-1985) in over a decade. Active in the 1970s and 1980s, Mendieta’s ground-breaking practice challenged traditional notions of sculpture, photography and film. Using her own terms to describe her art, she is best known for her ‘earth-body’ works, outlining her body in the landscape with natural elements such as earth, fire and flowers. Featuring over 120 works, the exhibition is arranged thematically through symbolic locations, highlighting key moments in the artist’s career and demonstrating her persistent engagement with the natural world. Her iconic Silueta Series 1973-80 is presented alongside newly remastered films, rarely seen paintings and drawings, late sculptures and restaged installations, shedding new light on her practice and demonstrating its lasting power for new audiences. Mendieta’s search for origin and desire to connect with nature ... More
MENORCA.- On view this summer at Hauser & Wirth Menorca, Directionless is a sweeping group exhibition organized by Rashid Johnson, who has invited Charles Gaines, Firelei Báez and Cristina Iglesias to nominate artists from beyond the gallery’s roster. The most extensive exhibition staged in Menorca to date, it takes over all the galleries and outdoor landscape of Illa del Rei, featuring 28 artists from more than 10 countries. The artist-driven project begins from the premise that we are living in a moment of profound disorientation. Rather than offering resolution, the exhibition asks how artists might productively inhabit this uncertainty—how they develop new vocabularies and provisional orientations when established coordinates begin to fail. “We are all living inside a shared sense of disorientation right now—one that is evolving with increasing momentum. The artists here aren’t paralyzed by that condition; they’re animated by it. [...] What they offer isn’t ... More
Friedrich Kunath, The night we called it a day, 2026. Oil on canvas, 122 cm × 154 cm × 4.5 cm (48-1/16" × 60-5/8" × 1-3/4").
BERLIN.- Pace is presenting Goodbye Sadness, Hello Sadness, a group exhibition of paintings, sculptures, and photographs by an international group of twenty-seven artists, at its Berlin gallery from July 4 through August 23. Goodbye Sadness, Hello Sadness takes its title from Bonjour Tristesse, the 1954 novel written by the then 18-year-old Françoise Sagan. The book’s hedonistic, carefree spirit—ultimately giving way to a disquieting loss of innocence—infuses the exhibition in Berlin, which coalesces around the nighttime as a setting for possibility and ambiguity. The same phrase in two parts—Goodbye Sadness and Hello Sadness—can be found in neon red lights, bookending each end of Kunath’s bar. A private space within the artist’s Los Angeles studio, the architecture and contents of the bar have been reproduced in the shared space of the gallery. Around the installation, other works refer to symbols of evening entertainment. Elmgreen & Dragset’s sculpture, ... More
LONDON.- As part of the ongoing Lisson Street programme, the multidisciplinary artistic partnership of Lubaina Himid and Magda Stawarska present a new iteration of Zanzibar (1999-2023). Reflecting on themes of memory and movement, loss and belonging, this immersive and evocative mixed-media installation comprises nine diptychs painted by Himid in 1999, paired with a 38-minute multi-layered “libretto” composed by Stawarska in 2023. This historical series of canvases floats throughout the gallery – anchored by colourful cuboid forms and recurring zigzag patterns. It represents an anomalous passage of abstract painting and a decisive break from Himid's distinctly figurative, narrative-rich practice, being quite unlike “anything I made before or since,” as she has noted. Entitled Zanzibar, this major suite of diptychs was created as an homage to Himid's East African birthplace and an evocation of memories associated with the archipelago. The paintings reference early events ... More
PARIS.- To mark the bicentenary of the birth of photography, LE BAL is presenting, for the first time, an exhibition devoted to a single collection: that of Michael and Jane Wilson / The Wilson Centre for Photography. Through this rare ensemble of 120 prints, the exhibition explores the sometimes elusive, sometimes luminous, always shifting relationship between the one who photographs and the one who is photographed. From fleeting encounters to carefully staged collaborations, from images caught in the moment to collaboratively constructed scenes, the exhibition examines the relationship that comes into being, at the moment the photograph is made, between the photographer and their subject. What does the image reveal about the respective positions of these two bodies? About their complicity, their face-to-face encounter, the silent pact sealed by the gaze of one upon the appearance of the other? The exhibition brings together iconic works and lesser-known images, from the 1920s to the present ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Yossi Milo announced that works by Shikeith have been acquired by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX. This has been a year of great institutional interest in Shikeith, as the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has recently unveiled Shikeith’s first public sculpture commission at Arts Landing in Pittsburgh, PA, while his work is currently on view at the Hammer Museum as part of their exhibition SPACE IS THE PLACE. The Philadelphia Museum of Art has acquired Phantasmatic Apparatus (2025) by Shikeith. Phantasmatic Apparatus draws on the visual language of seventeenth-century Dutch vanitas painting and the iconography of alchemy. This work situates Black spiritual practice within longer histories of ritual, belief, and invention. Scientific glassware, a vintage radio, and ceremonial objects surround costumed figures caught mid-gesture, suggesting a ritual already underway. A white cloth held in the composition carries a dual inheritance, r ... More
BERLIN.- With more than 300,000 visitors expected by the close of its run on 9 August, the special exhibition Brancusi is set to become the most visited exhibition at the Neue Nationalgalerie since Gerhard Richter in 2012. The ten visitors who bring the exhibition's total attendance to 300,000 will each receive an exhibition catalogue. In response to the sustained high level of public interest, the museum is extending its opening hours for the exhibition's final weekend on 7 and 8 August and offering additional personal tours with the curators and the director. Since opening on 20 March 2026, this unique collaboration with the Centre Pompidou in Paris has brought together more than 150 works by the Romanian-French sculptor and marks the first comprehensive retrospective of Constantin Brancusi's work in Germany in more than 50 years. Never before has the work of one of the most important sculptors of modernism been presented in Berlin with such breadth and exceptional quality. "Brancusi is one o ... More
Suzanne Adan, Pigtails Go to the Head of the Class.
SACRAMENTO, CA.- This summer, the Crocker Art Museum invites visitors to immerse themselves inside the personal universe of esteemed Sacramento artist Suzanne Adan. The artist’s first major retrospective—Suzanne Adan: I’m No Spring Chicken—combines fantasy, popular culture, and autobiography. Assembled in her 80th year, and titled by the artist, the exhibition showcases Adan’s sardonic wit, fondness for nostalgia, and spirit of mischievousness. Her technical mastery and range are featured in more than 100 examples of her playful paintings, drawings, prints, and ceramic sculptures. The exhibition is on view from June 28 through October 11, 2026. “Adan’s richly narrative paintings employ a personal and visual vocabulary that is most certainly American but informed by sources internationally,” says Scott A. Shields, PhD, the Crocker’s Ted and Melza Barr Chief Curator & Associate Director. “She developed her practice within a rich context of eclectically ir ... More
Sean Micka, Mnemosyne (Rescued Manuscript), 2025, Oil on canvas, 48 x 30 in, 121.9 x 76.2 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Bienvenu Steinberg & C is presenting Between the Lines, an exhibition featuring Johanna Calle, Jonathan Callan, Stefana McClure, Glenda León, Ivan Lam, Sean Micka, Nobuhira Narumi, Ed Ruscha, Analia Saban, and Adam Winner on view through August 29, 2026. Between the Lines is an exhibition with no underlining—it hints, suggests, and infers. The ten included artists playfully dig into an unparalleled present, relieving us through their archaeological gestures. A summer outing that could leave you ice cold. Johanna Calle (b. 1965) lives and works in Bogotá, Colombia. Her work draws on a range of archival and deciphering techniques, often associated with everyday life, to address the violence of recent Colombian history. Calle has participated in major international exhibitions including the Sydney Biennale (2016), the São Paulo Biennial (2014), and the Istanbul Biennial (2015). She will have a solo exhibition at Le Bal, Paris, opening in January 2027. Select exhibitions include Bienv ... More
Ayka Go, the in between, 2026 Oil on canvas. 96h x 72w in 243.8h x 182.9w cm
MANILA.- Ayka Go undertakes a significant departure from the creased, folded and worn paper forms that have become emblematic of her practice, expanding her inquiry beyond the introspective terrain these motifs once occupied. For this new series, her attention shifts outward to the natural world, which becomes a framework through which processes of self-transformation are contemplated and understood. During a period of relative quietude in 2025, Ayka devoted considerable time to cultivating a garden at her studio. What began as an attempt to grow fruit-bearing trees and flowering plants gradually developed into a small ecosystem inhabited by butterflies, caterpillars, and dragonflies. She became increasingly attentive to subtle cycles of growth, decay, and renewal, such as the falling of leaves, the emergence of insects, and the delicate traces they leave behind. Butterfly wings became a particular source of fascination. Examined under a microscope, their intricate structures, chromatic variati ... More

Berlin exhibition imagines the rituals of eating and drinking in 2101 BERLIN.- What might dinner look like 75 years from now? Will people still gather around a shared table, prepare tea together or pass food from one person to another? Or will climate disruption, crowded megacities and increasingly digital lives transform even the most familiar rituals of eating and drinking? A new exhibition now on view at Berlin’s Kunstgewerbemuseum invites visitors to consider those questions through experimental porcelain, speculative design and imagined social customs. Titled “2101 – Future Ceramics. Table Culture of the Future,” the exhibition brings together 12 projects created by product design students at the Berlin University of the Arts. It is on view through February 28, 2027. The project began with a deceptively simple question: How will people live in the year 2101? From there, the students explored what people might eat, how food could be served and which communal rituals ... More
Artist Yu Nishimura explores themes of displacement in exhibition at Sadie Coles HQ LONDON.- Throughout the development of Dislocation, Yu Nishimura articulated an approach to painting grounded in temporal, spatial, and psychological displacement. Across the exhibition, images emerge through layers of revision, interruption, and residual marks, producing compositions that resist fixed resolution and instead remain suspended between memory, perception and reconstruction. Place and landscape are strongly present, yet rather than depicting specific locations, the paintings allow the gaze and the body to enter the landscape itself — moving closer to the subject and then withdrawing again, gradually shaping a felt sense of space. This shifting proximity produces a quiet recalibration of the viewer’s position where distance is never stable but continuously negotiated. Figures, landscapes, objects and architectural details appear partially detached, occupying uncertain spaces that feel simultaneously familiar and remote. The title Dislocation reflects not only the thematic atmosphere ... More
Jordy Kerwick transforms everyday motifs into mythical fables in new show BERLIN.- KÖNIG GALERIE present This Time Tomorrow by Australian-born, France-based artist Jordy Kerwick in the Vault of St. Agnes. Taking its title from The Kinks' 1970 song, the exhibition begins with a question: "This time tomorrow, where will we be?" The refrain captures a feeling of uncertainty about a future that seems near at hand yet remains indistinct. Across a group of recent oil and acrylic paintings, Kerwick turns the day-to-day into a site of meditation, where familiar motifs and fleeting impressions are transformed into vivid fables of the future. These works begin with small details: vivid greens, floral bursts of magenta, vermilion, and mauve, the presence of water, and the passing impressions of lived surroundings. In Kerwick's paintings, such familiar elements do not remain fixed. They accumulate, shift, and recombine, unfolding into tableaux where the everyday opens onto the mythical and the imagined. Animals, plants, masks, and hybrid figures recur throughout the exhibition, ... More
Sally Mann survey traces five decades of photography in Macula et Materia SAN SEBASTIÁN.- Sally Mann (born in Lexington, Virginia, 1951) is one of the most important figures in contemporary American photography. Active since the late sixties, she has built up a consistent and demanding body of work that primarily focuses on her native region of the American South, which she continues to explore. She has received many awards, including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Guggenheim Foundation, and her work is now held in the collections of major international institutions. From the outset, Sally Mann has been part of a photographic tradition that pays attention to the materiality of the medium and its place in history. Self-taught, she developed an early practice based on the use of large-format cameras, which demand patience, precision and technical rigour. This choice proved decisive, as it structures her relationship with time, her subjects and the landscape, imbuing her images with a particular density that i ... More
Kate Newby covers Portland airport wall with 1,600 handbuilt ceramic tiles NEW YORK, NY.- Laurel Gitlen congratulates to Kate Newby on her first permanent public commission, The Sound of Trees, now on view in the Arrivals Terminal of the Portland International Airport (PDX). The Sound of Trees is comprised of more than 1,600 handbuilt ceramic tiles and spans 75 feet. From a distance the work is an exhilarating abstract field of continuous colors and textures, while up close the richly textured surface holds the topographic impressions of pine needles, leaves, and puddled glass melted into the crags and depressions in the clay. Over several years, Newby developed this work collecting natural and found materials with students, artists and community members in Oregon and then used these elements in the making, glazing and firing of the tiles in her Texas studio. The complex surface relays the marks and imprints of the Oregon landscape and Newby's hands and body as she worked directly on the clay. Shaped through pressing, reworking, and at times walking across raw clay, each t ... More
Seattle Art Museum opens major exhibition on the Kondō ceramic dynasty SEATTLE, WA.- The Seattle Art Museum opened The Kondō Family: Storytellers in Clay, a major exhibition bringing together 60 works by four artists across three generations. The show explores how each member of the Kondō family found new ways to innovate while navigating a storied tradition and serves as a retrospective of living artist Kondō Takahiro’s career. The exhibition runs from July 15, 2026, through January 3, 2027, at the Seattle Asian Art Museum. “The Kondō family’s work represents a century-long arc of technical mastery and persistent experimentation,” said Aaron Rio, SAM’s Tateuchi Foundation Curator of Japanese and Korean Art. “Each artist pays respect to tradition and family legacy by challenging it and pushing at its edges.” From wheel-thrown vases brushed with lively pictures of plants and landscapes to life-size self-portraits in porcelain, the exhibition showcases the evolution of the Kondō family’s artistic practice. ...
