The exhibition is accompanied by a new catalogue, edited by Dr Elena Crippa, Senior Curator of Contemporary at the Courtauld Gallery.
LONDON.- The Courtauld presents the first solo exhibition in Europe of the artist Salman Toor, acclaimed for his arresting paintings of the contemporary experience and urban life. The exhibition brings together an outstanding selection of the artist’s most iconic, thought-provoking and at times humorous paintings, never-before-seen in Britain. Salman Toor (b.1983) was born in Lahore, Pakistan, and lives and works in New York. His paintings capture people in moments of friendship and love, as well as solitude and alienation. The exhibition at the Courtauld presents 19 paintings, all created since 2019, that focus on Toor’s exploration of human interactions and the desire and struggle to experience a sense of belonging, both culturally and emotionally. The exhibition is complemented by a special display of Toor’s drawings in the Gilbert and Ildiko Butler Drawings Gallery. While Toor’s figures and scenes are fictional, they are rooted in his personal experiences and memories. S ... More
Painting the French Riviera by Jean-Louis Andral (Author), Ann Dumas (Author), Aymeric Jeudy (Author), Heather Lemonedes (Author), & 5 more.
LONDON.- The Royal Academy of Arts presents Painting the French Riviera, a major exhibition exploring the rise and development of modern art on the Mediterranean coast of France from the 1870s to the 1960s. Bringing together over 120 paintings, sculptures and drawings, as well as film, books and travel posters, the exhibition examines how artists including Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Berthe Morisot, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Yves Klein found inexhaustible inspiration in the brilliant light, azure skies and luminous sea in the unspoilt Eden that was the South of France. Spanning nearly 90 years, the exhibition traces the transformation of the Mediterranean coast into one of the defining landscapes of modern art. More than simply a place of retreat, the Riviera came to symbolise an ideal of artistic and spiritual renewal, inspiring artists to develop bold new ways of representing their surroundings. Painting the French Riviera focuses on key moments and figures that made significa ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- It was 1830 when an English scientist named Henry De la Beche painted the first piece of paleoart, a dazzling, deliciously macabre vision of prehistoric reptiles battling underwater. Since then, artists the world over have conjured up visions of dinosaurs, woolly mammoths, cavemen, and other creatures, shaping our understanding of the primeval past through their exhilarating images. In this book, writer Zoë Lescaze and artist Walton Ford present the astonishing history of paleoart from 1830 to 1990. These are not cave paintings produced thousands of years ago, but modern visions of prehistory: stunning paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, mosaics, and murals that mingle scientific fact with unbridled fantasy. The collection provides an in-depth look at this neglected niche of art history and shows how the artists charged with imagining extinct creatures often projected their own aesthetic whims onto prehistory, rendering the primordial past with dashes of Romanticism, Impressionism ...

DRESDEN.- What does a 16th-century coding device have to do with bitcoin? How does the history of paper money help us understand today’s stablecoins? We come across the term “crypto” in newspaper headlines, on social media and in advertisements. But amid all the technical terms, price alerts, and dreams of fast money, it is not always clear what it is about. The exhibition “Crypto, what?” (3 October 2026 – 29 August 2027) at the Münzkabinett (Coin Cabinet) in the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (Dresden State Art Collections, SKD) tackles an issue that is influential in our age and yet remains a mystery to many people. This is an invitation to think about digital value against a historical background of technology and money. It shows how encryption, automated data processing and global networking came together in the Bitcoin system. For thousands of years, people have sought to hide secret messages in code and automate complex mathematical calculations. Selected ... More
KREFELD.- The starting point for the dialogue with the internationally renowned artist collective Slavs and Tatars is the exhibition Kunst Hand Werk Brücke at Haus Lange. Having previously exhibited as artists at Haus Esters in 2019, the collective Slavs and Tatars now returns as curators with the exhibition Handdschob. In it, they explore craft as a field in which labor, sexuality, and identity intersect. Handdschob will be on view at Haus Esters from October 4, 2026, to March 7, 2027, as part of the HLHE Dialogue: Art x Crafts. Featuring nine artistic positions from seven different cultural and geographical contexts, the exhibition opens up a cross-disciplinary dialogue between historical and contemporary understandings of craft. Handdschob brings together nine contemporary artistic positions, including the curators themselves—the collective Slavs and Tatars—who are represented with their own works and have also developed the exhibition architecture. Rather than celebrating craftsman ... More

OSLO.- MUNCH is presenting a major exhibition by celebrated German artist Katharina Grosse, known for her immersive, large-scale works that transform architecture, landscapes, and interiors into vibrant fields of colour. For this exhibition Grosse created a new body of work, in dialogue with Edvard Munch and his artistic legacy. For over three decades, Katharina Grosse has challenged conventional ideas of painting. Treating the world itself as a site for painting, she applies colour directly onto buildings, objects, landscapes, and canvas, using a spray gun to extend her reach as far as her eye can see. In her work, there is no clear distinction between artwork, architecture, environment and viewer; painting can appear anywhere. At the heart of the exhibition at MUNCH is Black Bed (2026), a newly commissioned installation that revisits Grosse's seminal work Das Bett(2004). In the original work, the artist spray-painted her bedroom in Düsseldorf, along with her furniture, clothing and personal ... More

WASHINGTON, DC.- The Library of Congress opened “Alive in Many Hands: The American Folklife Center at 50,” a new exhibition showing how living traditions carry memory, identity and community across generations. The exhibition explores traditions of music and dance, storytelling, craft, foodways, work, celebrations and everyday community life. Presented as part of a yearlong celebration of the American Folklife Center’s 50th anniversary, the exhibition brings together more than 150 objects, photographs, recordings and films to show how traditions are preserved, adapted and passed from hand to hand. Through materials spanning generations and communities, it explores how folklife connects people to one another and to the places, experiences and practices that shape them. Featured items include a banjo signed by Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and more than 260 other people; and a portable recording machine recovered after a shipwreck. A Houma palmetto basket reflecting a revived Indigenous weavi ... More
Minh Duc Pham, Friendship Fatigue, 2025, Photo: Pham, MinhDuc. Gallery: Galerie Adlershof. Exhibition: THE KIDS ARE NOT ALRIGHT! 2
BERLIN.- The 2026 edition of Berlin Municipal Galleries Art Week opened today, launching ten days of exhibitions, performances, workshops and gallery tours across the German capital. Running through October 11, the event brings together 150 artists in 44 exhibitions at 36 galleries, with all exhibitions and many accompanying events offered free of charge. Organized by the network of Berlin’s municipal galleries, the program presents a broad cross-section of the city’s contemporary art scene, with exhibitions addressing memory, ecology, gender, colonial history, life after German reunification and changing ideas of beauty. Rather than following a single curatorial theme, Art Week emphasizes the range of approaches and perspectives represented across Berlin’s districts. Among the exhibitions opening during the week is Silberstreif at Haus am Kleistpark, where Daniela Friebel responds to the estate of an East German particle physicist. At rk – Galerie für zeitgenössische Kunst, ... More
Nancy Rexroth: Secrets of My Power by Nathaniel M. Stein (Editor), Molly Kalkstein (Contributor), Charlotte Ogorek (Contributor), & 2 more.
CINCINNATI, OH.- Experience more than 150 photographs, ephemera and working materials—all rarely or never-before exhibited—in Nancy Rexroth: Secrets of My Power, on view at the Cincinnati Art Museum from October 2, 2026, to January 3, 2027. This long overdue first retrospective marks the 50th anniversary of Rexroth’s pathbreaking work, IOWA, the influential photobook she made in the 1970s in Ohio. Nancy Rexroth (American, b. 1946) established her artistic voice in the late 1960s and 1970s, as feminism, technical experimentation, new educational opportunities and increasing interest from institutions and collectors transformed the art photography scene. While completing her MFA at Ohio University, Rexroth used a Diana camera (a low-tech device originally manufactured as a novelty) to create dream-like pictures in the small towns around Athens, Ohio. Realized through an evocative and often defiant artistic vision distinctly her own, Rexroth’s work expressed the complex emotional terrain of her life as sh ... More
LONDON.- A new exhibition at the British Museum explores over two millennia of Korean art and culture, offering a fresh perspective on the peninsula's rich creative history. Drawing on exceptional works from the collection of the late Samsung Chairman, Lee Kun-Hee, this is the first major exhibition on Korea's art and history at the British Museum in over 40 years. Spanning from 300 BC to the present day, Korea reveals how the country's artists and craftspeople have continually demonstrated creativity, resilience and superb technical skill, while absorbing outside influences to create a distinctive and enduring cultural identity. At a time when Korean culture has an unprecedented global presence, often described as the Korean Wave, or hallyu, this exhibition offers important context for understanding its deeper historical roots. Since the 1990s, the Korean Wave has driven the global popularity of South Korea's cultural economy, exporting music, film, television and wider pop culture w ... More
Image for Santana Santana, Whilst We Are Savages, 2026.
SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE.- Whilst We Are Savages proposes a reflection on the ways in which colonial modernity constructed figures such as the savage, the barbarian, the Indigenous person and the peasant, and on the ways in which these imaginaries continue to shape how we understand territory and identity. Taking the Canary Islands as one of the earliest settings of Atlantic colonisation, the exhibition situates the archipelago within a space of dialogue between Europe, Africa and Latin America from which to address questions such as the representation of alterity, the ways in which knowledge is produced and its relationship to structures of power, extractivism, and the circulation of colonial imaginaries. One of the project’s main points of departure is the thought of the Canarian anthropologist Fernando Estévez, whose research demonstrated the extent to which apparently naturalised figures of island identity, such as the Guanche and the mago, are the result of complex processes of cultural construction. The Gu ... More
BERLIN.- Nizo Yamamoto – Master of Anime Scenography, at the Tchoban Foundation's Museum for Architectural Drawing, is the first exhibition anywhere outside Japan devoted to the work of the Japanese art director and artist Nizo Yamamoto (1953–2023), whose imagery ranks among the most influential in Japanese animation. Over more than four decades, Yamamoto worked with directors including Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki and Mamoru Hosoda. His work on films such as Castle in the Sky, Grave of the Fireflies, Princess Mononoke and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time has made his imagery familiar to audiences the world over – though, outside Japan, his name itself has, until now, remained known only to a relatively small circle. The exhibition brings together background drawings, image boards and other production material, revealing how Yamamoto used light, atmosphere and spatial depth to create worlds that do more than simply define a setting – they actively shape the emotional impact ...

Aimée Parrott explores transformation and heatwaves in 'The green fuse drives the flower' DUMFRIES.- This autumn, CAMPLE LINE presents The green fuse drives the flower, an exhibition of new work by Brighton-based artist Aimée Parrott. Installed across both floors of our building, the exhibition will bring together a new body of work that offers an irresistible amalgam of painting, printmaking and textile-based techniques, through which Parrott continues to explore transitional and dual states of being and processes of transformation, transference and exchange. Monotype printing combines with dye, appliqué, staining, and stitching, producing surfaces that bear the physical imprints of time, gesture and touch. In a recent conversation with Jennifer Higgie, Parrott described her approach to making as ‘an ebb and flow, a kind of listening, paying attention. And letting things happen, and then trying to hone them into something.’ Typically, she works on unprimed canvas and calico and occasionally bamboo silk and has spoken previously of the painting surface as a porous, skin-like boundary ...

Rinpa painting from Edo-Period Japan is in the spotlight in exhibition at the New Orleans Museum of Art NEW ORLEANS, LA.- This fall, the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) opens Second Nature: Japanese Rinpa Paintings from the Gitter-Yelen Collection, an immersive look at this influential tradition. One of the most distinctive schools of Japan’s Edo period (1615–1868), Rinpa artists combined specialized ink painting techniques with a shimmering, polychrome palette in compositions depicting natural scenes. Second Nature includes an extraordinary collection of nearly 60 paintings in an array of formats, including hanging scrolls, folding screens, fans, albums, and handscrolls, as well as ceramics and decorative arts, to offer new insights and perspectives into Rinpa painting and the role of artist Sakai Hōitsu in defining the style from its disparate progenitors. Second Nature is drawn primarily from the remarkable collection of Alice Yelen Gitter and the late Dr. Kurt A. Gitter, with additional works from NOMA’s collection. The exhibition is organized by NOMA with guest curator Yukio Lipp ... More
New exhibition explores Pacific Northwest forests through a century of art BELLINGHAM, WA.- The Whatcom Museum announced its newest exhibition, Forested, which celebrates artists from the museum’s collection who look to the forests of the Pacific Northwest for inspiration. Of particular focus is a large selection of works by Bellingham artists Elizabeth Colborne and Helen Loggie. Orphaned as a young child, Colborne moved to Bellingham in 1890 to live with her aunt. It was the forests of Whatcom County where she developed a lifelong affection for the outdoors. For most of her adult life, she divided her time between Bellingham and New York City, where she attained a national reputation as a successful illustrator, painter, and printmaker for major publications. But it was her Pacific Northwest landscapes for which she became best known. “The Whatcom Museum is fortunate to hold the world’s largest comprehensive collection of more than 250 Elizabeth Colborn ...

Jenkins Johnson Gallery celebrates David C. Driskell with California survey SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Jenkins Johnson Gallery is presenting David C. Driskell: Wake Up Everybody, a new exhibition celebrating the creative legacy of the legendary artist, curator, art historian, and educator David C. Driskell. Featuring works created between 1960 and the early 2000s, the exhibition brings together paintings, works on paper, collage, and printmaking—including linocuts, woodcuts, and serigraphs. David C. Driskell was a lifelong artist, but he perennially prioritized the support and promotion of other artists ahead of himself. Driskell was an arts educator for nearly 40 years and a pioneering curator, but all the while he maintained a personal artistic practice which defied categorization. This exhibition samples some of his diverse areas of interest and means of expression: figuration and abstraction, Christian devotional art and traditional African craft, landscapes and natural phenomena, jazz musicians and more rendered through painting, collage, assemblage and printmaking. The selected wo ... More
Viktoria Binschtok explores power, surveillance and digital language in new Zwickau exhibition ZWICKAU.- The Kunstverein Freunde Aktueller Kunst in Zwickau opened MEN & MEMES today, a solo exhibition by Viktoria Binschtok that looks at how images shape the way we understand power, identity and communication in contemporary life. On view through December 11, the exhibition brings together three bodies of work made between 2009 and 2026: Suspicious Minds, World of Details and Digital Semiotics. Although the series were created at different moments, they share a fascination with the visual systems that surround us—from press photography and Google Street View to emojis and memes. Binschtok’s work often begins with images that already exist. Rather than treating photography simply as a way of recording the world, she examines how pictures circulate, how they direct attention and how meaning changes when an image is removed from one setting and placed in another. In Suspicious Minds (2009), the artist turns to press photographs of public events involving prominent figures. Instead of keeping ... More
Swedenborg House opens 'Visionary Landscapes' exploring nature, mind, and memory LONDON.- Swedenborg House opened Visionary Landscapes, an exhibition exploring the relationship between landscape, imagination and visionary states. Curated by Museum Director Stephen McNeilly, the exhibition brings together historic works in dialogue with contemporary paintings, photography and film. Organized, in part, to showcase new acquisitions into the Swedenborg Collection, including works by William Blake, F H Evans and Francis Oliver Finch, the exhibition draws together key works from contemporary and historical artists including surrealist painter Malcolm de Chazal, occultist Austin Osman Spare, filmmaker Andrew Kötting, musician Jem Finer, photographer Jason Orton, psychogeographer Iain Sinclair, and writer Alice Albinia amongst others. Drawing on questions of representation, correspondences, climate, environment, memory and place, the exhibition invites us to re-evaluate landscape as an internal state and asks us to view nature itself as a threshold between visible and invisible rea ...

National Museum of Natural History's Sant Director Kirk Johnson to depart for the Denver Museum of Nature and Science WASHINGTON, DC.- Kirk Johnson announced today that he will step down as the Sant Director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History after 14 years in the role, as he prepares to join the Denver Museum of Nature and Science as its next president and CEO. An advocate for science, nature and the power of museums to influence the future, Johnson joined the National Museum of Natural History in 2012. Prior to arriving at the Smithsonian, he served as vice president and chief curator at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. At the National Museum of Natural History, Johnson has led the efforts to leverage the museum’s collection of more than 148 million objects and specimens to expand the scientific knowledge of the natural world and its cultures and pique the curiosity of millions of visitors about their planet and their own backyards. As director, Johnson has overseen one of the world’s preeminent centers of natural history research, whose scientists published more than 11,000 peer-reviewe ... More
Omid Delafrouz explores modern political history and territorial struggle in new Stockholm show STOCKHOLM.- Andréhn-Schiptjenko is presenting Omid Delafrouz's fourth solo exhibition at the gallery, Terra Nullius. The exhibition opened on Thursday 1 October. Terra Nullius means 'no man's land' in Latin. The exhibition title can be interpreted literally, but it is also a term in international law used to define the legal status of a landmass. Prior to its current judicial usage, the thought model of a 'Terra Nullius' was employed during the colonial era as a means of power to justify arbitrary occupations of already inhabited territories, where the indigenous population was often driven from their land or exterminated. In the exhibition, Delafrouz delves into modern political history through oil paintings that thematically revolve around humanity's territorial claims on the planet; a violent struggle for world domination that increasingly seems to make the evolutionary emergence of intelligent life appear as a lethal mutation. Delafrouz came to Sweden from Iran as a UN quota refugee and grew ... More
