NEW YORK, NY.- This week, New York becomes the stage for one of the most anticipated debuts of NYC Jewelry Week: the unveiling of THEN & NOW, the inaugural collection from Rebecca Rau Jewels. Blending original antiquities with contemporary gemstones, the collection introduces a groundbreaking vision of historic-to-modern jewelry, where artifacts dating from 1200 BC to 1880 AD are transformed into singular, wearable works of art. Rau, a fourth-generation art and antique dealer with roots at the renowned M.S. Rau gallery in New Orleans, brings a lifetime spent among rare treasures into her first fine jewelry collection. With a master’s from Sotheby’s Institute of Art and years spent sourcing antiques and jewels across Europe and Asia, she channels a curator’s rigor and a designer’s intuition into pieces that preserve the past while reimagini ...

For the Prado, the recovery is both symbolic and significant—a small fragment of its heritage returning after more than a century abroad.
MADRID.- A small but remarkable treasure is on its way back to the Museo del Prado: a preparatory sketch by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo that was stolen from the institution in 1897 and quietly hung for decades in the Municipal Museum of Pau, in southern France. The rediscovery was the result of a routine inventory the Louvre conducts every ten years in French regional museums. During the 2024 review in Pau, one of the technicians suspected that a modest-looking oil sketch—long attributed to a lesser-known artist—might in fact be the work of the celebrated Sevillian painter. That intuition set off a chain of scholarly confirmations and diplomatic coordination. Charlotte Chastel-Rousseau, the Louvre’s specialist in Spanish painting, consulted Benito Navarrete, professor of Art History at the Complutense University of Madrid. Navarrete quickly recognized the piece as ... More

Larry Sultan, Meander, Corte Madera, 2006.
NEW YORK, NY.- Yancey Richardson is presenting Homeland, an exhibition featuring photographs from Larry Sultan’s series of the same name and the third exhibition of his work with the gallery. In his expansive photographs of Latino day laborers set against the backdrop of a suburban California landscape, Sultan explores the liminal spaces between actions, the moments that exist as time passes. Though he borrows from the tradition of landscape painting, with its presumption of order through perspective, Sultan’s photographs emphasize the indeterminate and the ambiguous instead, revealing the sense of possibility that remains embedded in the act of waiting. The exhibition is on view in the project gallery from October 30 through December 20, 2025. Over the course of a two year period Sultan drove to lumber yards and hardware stores in the Bay Area and Simi Valley, California, where every day hundreds of men waited for temporary employment. Rather than hire them as laborers, Sultan ... More
Michael Landy, Multi-Saint, 2013.
LIVERPOOL.- Two works by the artists Michael Landy and Shaqúelle Whyte have been acquired through the CAS Collections Fund for Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. In anticipation of the Walker’s 150th anniversary in 2027, the works selected by this year’s Collections Fund at Frieze Committee and the Walker’s curators draw from prominent themes in the museum’s vast collection while also signifying a refresh of its contemporary collection. Known for its rich collection of religious works from the 15th century onwards, featuring Old and Modern masters including Rubens, Rembrandt, Monet and Degas, the Walker’s celebrated contemporary collection exists alongside the prestigious John Moores Painting Prize, first established in 1957 to support the work of contemporary artists. A priority of its collecting practice today is to acquire works that engage with the historic collection but also embrace artists of global majority backgrounds and perspectives. Reflecting the museum ... More

U.S. and Europe, planned for 2027 and 2028.

Fraenkel Gallery has shown Misrach’s work since 1985; this is his seventeenth exhibition with the gallery. Whether photographing subjects as disparate as envir ... More
The 'Competition Lake Placid Blue' guitar was used in the recording studio during both the Nevermind and In Utero recording sessions, as well as during numerous prominent live performances.
NEW YORK, NY.- The guitar that legendary Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain used on generation-defining albums Nevermind and In Utero and in the iconic music video for “Smells Like Teen Spirit” will be publicly-exhibited and offered at Christie's New York in March 2026. The left-handed 1969 Fender Competition Mustang—described by Cobain as his favorite guitar—is being offered as part of the sale of the Jim Irsay Collection, a world-renowned collection of hundreds of historic and culturally-significant artifacts from the worlds of music, pop culture, American history, literature, sports, and more.

HONG KONG.- Gagosian announces Paint, an exhibition of new paintings by Spencer Sweeney opening at the Hong Kong gallery on November 19, 2025. These imposing works—oil portraits of seated figures with visible torsos, and others in which only the subjects’ heads and shoulders are depicted—convey intense energy and feeling through Sweeney’s use of rich color and bold paint handling. Sweeney cites jazz as having sparked his love for improvisation, which he interweaves with references to pop culture and art history in nudes, portraits, and self-portraits. Resonating with the spirits of artists from Henri Matisse to Giorgio de Chirico and American painter Bob Thompson, his images embody a Neo-Expressionist verve while repeating signature motifs, and are characterized by their juxtaposition of direct emotional appeal with a freewheeling exploration of the ...

Lynn Chadwick, Stairs, 1991, Bronze, 239 x 160 x 112 cm, Edition of 9.
LONDON.- Pangolin London announces Reconfiguring the Figure, a group exhibition that takes Lynn Chadwick as a point of departure to explore the development of figurative sculpture over the past seven decades. From post-war abstraction to contemporary reinvention, the exhibition brings together Modern British masters and contemporary sculptors who challenge, fragment, and reconstruct the body in new and unexpected ways. Lynn Chadwick’s sculpture redefined the figure in post-war Britain, replacing soft modelling with constructed, angular forms. His men and women, who are often single or paired, cloaked, winged, sitting, walking, or reclining, are recognisably human yet emotionally distant. Figures are brought to life with polished bronze faces that reflect our gaze and invite us to question our perception of the figure. As Chadwick once remarked, “No expression is an expression.” At the heart of the ... More
Installation view.
LONDON.- Stephen Friedman Gallery is presenting David Shrigley’s ninth solo exhibition with the gallery, Exhibition of Old Rope, marking over twenty-eight years of fruitful collaboration with the celebrated British artist. Expanding his conceptual practice, Shrigley showcases a 10-ton installation made entirely from discarded rope and a large-scale four-part neon. To create the installation, Shrigley spent months searching the UK for unwanted lengths of rope destined for landfill. Much of the discarded rope previously served maritime purposes, from thick cruise ship mooring lines, to slim cords on marker buoys, longlines and crab and lobster pots. Others have been salvaged from climbing schools, tree surgeons, offshore wind farms, scaffolders and window cleaning firms. Shrigley collected the shorter lengths himself from shorelines across the UK. All gathered rope was treated and cleaned to prepare it for the exhibition — a particularly important step for the rope rescued from the sea. ... More

'Family Forms' at the Tang: Rethinking the American family through art SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY.- The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College presents Family Forms, an exhibition that invites visitors to consider how families are made, remade, and represented. Bringing together contemporary art and vernacular photography, Family Forms looks closely at kinship, care, and the stories we tell about who we are to one another. Photographs, artists’ books, collage, sculpture, and video provide visitors ways to explore the spaces between our ideas about “the family” and the lived experiences of families. Much of the exhibition draws from the Tang collection with works that reflect the joys and frictions of everyday life; challenge stereotypes about the “nuclear” ideal; and expand definitions of belonging to include chosen, blended, multigenerational, queer, adoptive, foster, and non-monogamous families. ...

MOCA announces 30th anniversary release of Catherine Opie's Dyke Deck LOS ANGELES, CA.- Catherine Opie’s original Dyke Deck, released in 1995 and produced by MOCA, featured highly stylized portraits of the artist’s queer community—both friends and strangers (the latter cast during an open call in San Francisco).

Thorbjørn Sørensen's new paintings shift to muted, abstract compositions OSLO.- There was a palpable sense of frustration when Thorbjørn Sørensen and I met via video on a Monday afternoon. “I hate painting”, he laughed as he haphazardly attempted to direct his camera towards the paintings propped up against the wall that he’d been working on. He explained that the brand of oil paints he is using for the first time “just won’t dry.” It certainly felt like a case of the ‘Monday blues’—that jolted feeling of starting the working week and recalibrating the body and its routine. Nevertheless, it was evident that this feeling of frustration stemming from the act and labour of painting fuels Sørensen’s desire to consistently explore and expand his understanding of it—an art form he has exclusively committed himself to for over three decades. Defying easy categorisation, Sørensen’s extraordinary oeuvre conjures numerous art historical references. Flitting ... More
William Blake's revolutionary 'The Tyger' print goes under the hammer at Christie's LONDON.- A landmark moment in the market for Blake – the visionary poet, printer and painter of the Romantic period – The Tyger comes from his exceptionally rare First Issue (comprising only 4 copies) of Songs of Experience, circa 1794, a collection of seventeen poems richly illustrated, etched and printed by Blake himself (estimate: £80,000-120,000). This is a unique opportunity to acquire William Blake's most famous poem The Tyger as a single work (not bound) and the only impression from the earliest colour printed edition that is in private hands. Exemplifying his genius, The Tyger leads a total of eight exquisitely rendered relief etchings, from the same issue, all created using 'Illuminated Printing', a technique which William Blake invented. Highlighting The Tyger's iconic status, this impression was once in the collection of Kenneth Grahame, the acclaimed author of children's ... More

Their works have been exhibited at Foam ... More
Weltkulturerbe Völklinger Hütte unveils 130 years of X-ray vision in art, science, and culture VÖLKLINGEN.- "X-RAY" is the first exhibition ever to comprehensively dedicate itself to the phenomenon of X-rays and the numerous cultural and artistic aspects of the X-ray vision. Based on the wide spectrum of X-ray technology – from the very first X-ray image to historic X-ray devices in medicine and the natural sciences, and up to the latest X-ray satellite in space research – the exhibition particularly highlights the creative interplay of the X-ray gaze in art and cultural history, politics, nature, literature and architecture, music, fashion, and cinema.

Dawn Williams Boyd debuts powerful new series on race and power at Fort Gansevoort NEW YORK, NY.- Beginning November 19, 2025, Fort Gansevoort will present FEAR, its third solo exhibition with Dawn Williams Boyd, the Atlanta-based artist widely celebrated for textile works that construct powerful, socio-political narratives. Boyd’s “cloth paintings” layer and stitch history and contemporary political references into striking tableaux that openly question America’s social structure and its citizens’ received knowledge. Populated by life-sized figures, her works teem with elaborate textures, ornate patterns, and virtuoso technique that match the complexity of her subject matter. With FEAR, Boyd will debut a new series based on canonical American ephemera—photographs, etchings, advertisements, and the like—depicting racist imagery and historical accounts of subjugation. But in her appropriation, Boyd flips the script: white aggressors and Black ... More
