Gavin Turk, La Porte Verte (Door), 2026, Oil on linen, 225 x 100 cm. (88 5/8 x 39 3/8 in.)
LONDON.- Ben Brown Fine Arts is presenting The Escapologist, the sixth solo exhibition of British artist Gavin Turk at the London gallery (11 March - 22 May 2026). The exhibition presents a new series of oil paintings depicting doors left ajar, each offering a glimpse into an ambiguous and surreal terrain beyond. Shown together, the works transform the gallery into a labyrinth of thresholds. Each painting functions as a portal, drawing the viewer towards a narrow opening that reveals a field of smooth, liquid brushwork. These passages dissolve into bands of luminous colour that suggest an atmospheric horizon, generating unstable optical effects that coax the eye into a false sense of depth. For more than three decades, Turk has relentlessly interrogated the systems through which belief is produced – in images, in authorship, in value – using familiar forms, art historical tropes, psychoanalytic symbols and dreamlike objects to set perceptual traps. The door is a recurring motif in his ... More

Among the most significant & complex works ever created by the artist. Courtesy Sotheby's.
NEW YORK, NY.- Few masterworks so powerfully capture the themes, concerns, and personal history that defined Jean-Michel Basquiat’s career as his 1983 Museum Security (Broadway Meltdown). This May, this masterpiece will star in Sotheby’s Contemporary Evening Auction with an estimate in excess of $45 million, appearing at auction for the first time in more than a decade. The work belongs to the most sought-after moment of his career, when his visual language reached an extraordinary level of clarity, ambition, and scale, unfolding here at a particularly exceptional degree of gesture, color, and compositional complexity. The work will be on public view in a special exhibition at the Breuer tomorrow through 15 March, before traveling to Hong Kong, Los Angeles, and London before returning to New York for pre-sale exhibition ahead of Sotheby’s marquee evening auctions this May. Belonging to a suite ... More
Willem de Kooning, Untitled XLII, 1983.
NEW YORK, NY.- Few have navigated the worlds of finance and art with such aplomb as renowned dealer and collector Robert E. Mnuchin, whose first career as a legendary investment banker gave way to a life dedicated to pursuing his love of art. This May, a selection of works from Mnuchin’s collection will emerge at auction, estimated to achieve in excess of $130 million. Assembled together with his wife Adriana across decades, the deeply personal collection is a true expression of the pair’s shared, fervent devotion to pursuing works they loved and wanted to live with, embodying Mnuchin’s collecting ethos that “the reason to buy art is because you love it, you love it, you love it”.1 Renowned across the art world for his discerning eye for the artists represented in his personal collection - including Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, and Willem de Kooning - the superlative quality of the examples that Mnuchin chose for himself reflect this extreme level of connoisseurship. ...

Joan Miró (1893–1983), Le Soleil, Mallorca. H: 39 cm L: 45,2 cm. Estimate: 30 000–50 000 €.
PARIS.- Three previously unknown works on paper by the Spanish master Joan Miró have come to light in Nice and will soon appear on the market for the first time. The drawings, which had been quietly preserved for decades in the studio of artist and industrial designer Edmond Vernassa, will be offered at auction in Antibes on April 19, 2026, after being presented to the public in Paris during Drawing Week. The rediscovery adds a fascinating chapter to Miró’s long relationship with the French Riviera and with the influential art dealers Aimé Maeght and Marguerite Maeght, two of the most important champions of modern art in postwar Europe. The works surfaced unexpectedly while specialists were examining the former studio of Edmond Vernassa, a Nice-based plastic artist and industrial innovator known for running the Plexiglas workshop Plexi-Azur on the Port of Nice. Auctioneer Guillaume Mermoz recalled the moment the drawings were rediscovered after being stored away for ... More
Arlene Gottfried, Luke Silverman, 1977. Signed by Gilbert Gottfried in black ink, verso; Studio stamp in black ink, verso. Vintage gelatin silver print, 14 x 11 inches, sheet, 12 x 8 inches, image.
NEW YORK, NY.- CLAMP is presenting “Young & Old,” the gallery’s first solo exhibition devoted to the late New York photographer Arlene Gottfried (1950–2017). Drawn from the artist’s archive, “Young & Old” brings together portraits that treat age not as a fixed category, but something elastic—where youth can carry striking wisdom and advanced age can still be full of play. In Gottfried’s Westbeth studio, decades of work were stored in archival portfolio boxes. One was simply labeled “Young & Old.” The photographs found inside were portraits of children and people of advanced years—sometimes together in the same frame. But they also reflected Gottfried’s curiosity about specific individuals and their embodiment of youthfulness and maturity. Gottfried’s photographs are often described as acts of encounter—images made not from distance but proximity and trust. As she put ... More

Dia Al-Azzawi, Dialogue, 1994–95. Acrylic on canvas, 56 x 46 cm.
LONDON.- Richard Saltoun Gallery presents Excursion Across Time, a historical overview of the career of British-Iraqi artist Dia AL-AZZAWI (b. Baghdad, 1939), curated by Louisa Macmillan. This exhibition marks half a century since Azzawi moved to London, although it is only his second solo show in the city he calls home (the first was in 1978). The presentation is centred around recurring themes that shaped his early practice and continue to inspire his work. Large, colourful, emblematic paintings are displayed alongside works on paper that have never been exhibited before, in addition to selected material from the Azzawi studio archive, telling the story of how a former archaeologist and museum curator inspired by artefacts from Ancient Mesopotamia, as well as ethnographic motifs from daily life, helped to shape Iraqi modernism in the 1960s. Azzawi later expanded his quest for identity to explore cultural themes that would ... More

Polish Pavilion at Malta Biennale 2026 features Weronika Zalewska: Archive of Hesitations VALLETTA.- The Adam Mickiewicz Institute announced the opening of the Polish Pavilion at Malta Biennale 2026, where Weronika Zalewska will present her video installation Archive of Hesitations, curated by Ada Piekarska. The exhibition will be on view from March 11 to May 29, 2026 in Fort St Elmo, Valletta. The Archive of Hesitations is a two-channel video installation that reflects on how knowledge, memory, and political imagination are shaped in the age of nonstop media. The project emerged from the artist’s childhood memories of watching television with her grandmother in the early 2000s, at a time when her first intuitions about the socio-political were beginning to take shape, and when Poland tangibly shifted to the free market economy and western alliances. The grandmother’s lived experiences remained mostly unspoken—fragmentary, intimate, ... More

Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow showcases the full range of Toyen's work KRAKOW.- An exhibition-cum-story about one of the most intriguing and elusive figures of European surrealism. Born in 1902 as Marie Čermínová, she abandoned her name, roles, and expectations at a young age, adopting the pseudonym Toyen and living and creating beyond the boundaries of gender, convention, and social norms. Together with Jindřich Štyrský, she shaped Czech surrealism, exploring eroticism, the unconscious and freedom as spaces for radical imagination. Her work is characterised by a distinctive, often provocative approach to themes of gender, sexuality and desire – her works combine elaborate symbolism with forms that transcend heteronormative representations of the body. The exhibition presents almost all of Toyen's illustrated books, her prints, catalogues and posters, which both address erotic themes and constitute a testimony to her ... More

The Santa Barbara Museum of Art debuts first exhibition dedicated to Internet art SANTA BARBARA, CA.- The Santa Barbara Museum of Art will present RANDOM-ACCESS MEMORY: Internet Art (March 15–September 27, 2026), an exhibition that brings together digital projects by three multimedia artists: Zhanyi Chen, Claire Hentschker, and Andrew Norman Wilson. This is the first exhibition at SBMA solely dedicated to the Internet as both a source and a subject. The Internet is the ubiquitous medium of 21st-century life and our primary mode of connection, entertainment, and research. Despite its familiarity, the Internet continuously resists predictability. RANDOM-ACCESS MEMORY frames the web as a living memory system—ever-changing, contradictory, and subject to distortion—where personal histories blur into collective narratives. From early “net.art” HTML experiments to digital content shaped by today's algorithm- driven platforms, artists have embraced ... More
Robert Barry celebrates 90th birthday with new solo exhibition at Tim Hawkinson Gallery LOS ANGELES, CA.- Everyone seems to think about time eventually, at one point or another. How decades can pass by in a blink. How certain yesterdays can seem like a lifetime ago only a few hours later. The final ten minutes on the clock on the last day of school is of course a universal eternity. There never seems to be time for certain things to get done. And the right time never seems to come for others. Terrible politicians get unimaginably more time than they deserve, while the time we get allotted with some loved ones seems incomprehensibly short. How much should we think about history? How do we dodge the pitfalls of being overly nostalgic? The past is so often not really past, in a Faulknerian sense, while other times it is irrevocably buried. This exhibition coincides with Robert Barry’s 90th birthday on March 9th, 2026. Many of his newest paintings reference ... More
RM Sotheby's to auction rare 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider LONDON.- RM Sotheby’s announced that an incredible 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider will headline its upcoming Monaco sale, taking place alongside the legendary Grand Prix de Monaco Historique from 24-25 April 2026. One of the most sought after cars in the world, chassis 2955 GT is the 26th of 56 short-wheelbase examples built, and one of only 39 cars originally configured with covered headlamps. With so few examples built, the SWB California Spider is justifiably regarded as one of the most beautiful and pedigreed Ferraris ever built, combining timeless design with race-winning performance. The California Spider was originally delivered to Auto-Becker, the famed German importer based in Düsseldorf. Auto-Becker then immediately presented the car on its stand at the 40th Annual IAA Frankfurt Motor Show, where the car established its identity ... More
