On view August 10, 2026, through January 17, 2028, Rediscovering Della Robbia at The Met presents a selection of rarely seen works reanimated through research, conservation, and digital media. The exhibition illuminates figural reliefs and statuettes as well as architectural designs from the Museum’s magnificent collection of glazed terracotta sculptures by the Della Robbia family, whose groundbreaking workshop flourished in Renaissance Florence from 1440 to 1530. “Uniting outstanding examples of The Met’s holdings of Della Robbia works in an exhibition for the first time, Rediscovering Della Robbia will revive celebrated signature pieces of Andrea della Robbia from the Museum collection with new conservation and scholarship, inviting visitors to witness the scale, visual impact, and emotional resonance of t ...

TORONTO.- Camera in one hand and bass in the other, Montreal-born artist Melissa Auf der Maur spent the 1990s touring the world with iconic ‘90s bands Hole and The Smashing Pumpkins. An intimate portrait of a decade spent backstage, onstage, and everywhere in between, Melissa Auf der Maur: My ‘90s Rock Photographs makes its world debut at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Featuring more than 200 intimate photographs, alongside video, ephemera and new music, this original exhibition is co-curated by the AGO’s Curator of Photography Sophie Hackett and Curator of Special Projects & Director of Publishing Jim Shedden. Suffused in the colour and textures of analogue photography, the exhibition moves in loose chronology, revealing an artist for whom photography was both an anchor and an act of witnessing. Born and raised in Montreal, Canada, Auf der Maur studied photography at Concordia University before becoming a member of two of the most celebrated bands of the ‘90s. Determined to mai ... More
ALMATY.- The Abylkhan Kasteyev National Museum of Arts of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Almaty presents Threads of Heritage, a major exhibition marking the 80th anniversary of Batima Zaurbekova, one of Kazakhstan’s most influential artists and a pioneer of the national school of tapestry. On view from September 25 to November 8, 2026, the exhibition brings together more than 80 works—including tapestries, paintings, and graphic works—from the museum’s collection and the artist’s family archive. Threads of Heritage is curated by Alina Fedorovich. A tapestry is a handwoven textile artwork in which an image is created not with paint, but by weaving coloured threads on a loom. In Kazakhstan, the medium flourished during the second half of the twentieth century, when artists reimagined traditional carpet weaving and felt ornamentation as the foundation for a new form of visual art. This gave rise to the Kazakh school of tapestry—an artistic movement that combined folk t ... More
SALZBURG.- Eight centuries after the death of St. Francis of Assisi, the Dommuseum Salzburg is looking beyond the familiar image of the medieval saint to consider how his ideas about poverty, community, nature, spirituality and care for others have continued to shape Franciscan life. On view through November 2, 2026, LebensKunst. 800 Years of Francis of Assisi brings together more than 100 objects from monasteries, museums and private collections across the German-speaking world. The exhibition, organized in cooperation with the Franciscan Research association in Münster, was conceived around the 800th anniversary of Francis’s death on October 3, 1226. Rather than presenting his life simply as a historical biography, the show examines what the organizers describe as a Franciscan “art of living”: a way of approaching ... More
Dedicated exhibition commemorates 800th anniversary of St. Francis’ death, explores his impact through additional devotional artworks, and showcases manuscript’s complex conservation.
BALTIMORE, MD.- Divine Inspiration: The Legacy of the St. Francis Missal is now on view at the Walters Art Museum. The exhibition centers around a legendary 12th-century missal—a liturgical book containing the texts, prayers, chants, readings, and ceremonial directions required to celebrate the Mass—believed by Franciscans to be a relic of touch of St. Francis of Assisi. The exhibition presents visitors the rare opportunity to view this sacred object, which is rarely displayed due to its fragility, along with 18 additional objects that demonstrate St. Francis’ role as a figure in art history, including manuscripts, paintings, and works made of glass, ivory, and ceramic. Divine Inspiration commemorates the 800th anniversary of St. Francis’ death on October 3, 1226, and is on view through Sunday, February 7, 2027. “St. Francis was ... More
Only nine known to exist, the “Barber Dime,” was auctioned on Sept. 1st.
COSTA MESA, CA.- Stack’s Bowers Galleries, the oldest and most accomplished numismatic auction house, auctioned off a dime so rare today that it made its future co-chairman a national celebrity when he was only 19. The final sale price was $1.25 million. Rarities like the 1894-S dime, an American classic, have layers of desirability. Some collectors are most attracted to a tiny population, some to an elite reputation, some to an oft-recited history. Only 24 examples were struck with a net mintage of just 21 coins after three were assayed and only nine specimens are positively confirmed to still exist. Market appearances are usually few and far between, as 1894-S dimes have traditionally spent years, if not decades, in tightly held collections. After producing 2,491,401 dimes during calendar year 1893, the staff at the San Francisco Mint had every reason to believe that they would produce a generous number of dimes the following year. However, ... More
Claire Colette, She bore the long mountains, 2026.
NEW YORK, NY.- Franklin Parrasch Gallery will present Somewhere Inside the Machine, Claire Colette’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. On view September 10 through October 16th, 2026 the show brings together a new body of paintings that expand upon the artist's investigations of language, nature, and the presence -- or absence -- of the divine. The exhibition's title, drawn from the poem “Gnosticism VI,” included in Anne Carson's book Decreation, points to one of Colette’s central preoccupations: the body, the earth, and society as interlocking systems: machines within machines, painting as a machine for thinking. Decreation is based on Simone Weil's concept of decreation: the undoing or dissolving of the self as a path toward a truer self, and in turn a truer relationship to the world. That sense of an internal system extends to a gnostic framework Colette has long been drawn to — the idea of a "divine spark" housed within matter, and of the painting itself as an acces ... More
LONDON.- Serpentine announced the launch of the Future Art Ecosystems R&D Fellowship, a new flagship programme of Serpentine’s work facilitating artistic practice, research and experimentation in art and advanced technologies. Supported by a new, three-year partnership with Glass Castle, which also includes a significant contribution to one major commission each year, the fellowship facilitates the inquiries of four pioneering practitioners across art and technology.

HONG KONG.- Following the resounding success of ‘The Ai Lian Tang Collection – 800 Years of Chinese Ceramics’ dedicated auction in April, Christie’s unveils a new chapter this October with ‘The Ai Lian Tang Collection – Gems of the Imperial Capital’. Bringing together 30 treasures associated with Beijing and the imperial court, the sale explores the remarkable breadth and depth of a distinguished collector’s vision through works spanning porcelain, jade, lacquer and other imperial arts. From 1272–1911, for more than six centuries, Beijing stood as the political and cultural centre of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, attracting the finest objects and craftsmanship from across the empire. Reflecting this rich legacy, the collection demonstrates an appreciation not only for rarity and quality, but also for the diverse artistic traditions, cultural exchanges ... More
Threads, marks a moment of heightened artistic exchange.
RHINEBECK, NY.- ‘T’ Space will present Threads, a site-responsive installation by artist Anne Lindberg and poet H. L. Hix, conceived for the light-responsive Archive Gallery designed by Steven Holl. The project marks a significant evolution in Lindberg’s practice through the integration of language as a co-equal presence within the work, realized in dialogue with Hix’s poetic voice. Set within the distinctive spatial context of Holl’s architecture, the installation extends Lindberg’s exploration of light, perception, and material into a new interdisciplinary field where visual and verbal threads converge. At the heart of Threads is a profound synthesis of sculpture, poetry, and architecture—a dialogue that has long animated the mission of ‘T’ Space and the Steven Myron Holl Foundation. The exhibition continues a lineage of interdisciplinary collaborations that have brought visual art and poetry into conversation at ‘T’ Space, ... More
Stephan Jost is the Michael and Sonja Koerner Director, and CEO of the Art Gallery of Ontario.
TORONTO.- Following a decade of transformational leadership, the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) today announced that Stephan Jost has decided to step down as the Michael and Sonja Koerner Director and CEO effective December 31, 2026. Jost will continue to focus on the successful 2027 opening of the Dani Reiss Modern and Contemporary Gallery, which will add 40,000 square feet of gallery space to display the AGO’s growing collection of modern and contemporary art. “Over the summer, I reflected on arriving at the AGO 10 years ago and establishing the Strategic Plan we call AGO 2028.

Marina Rheingantz, Manacá 2026. Oil on linen, 80 x 60 cm | 31 1/2 x 23 1/2 in.
SEOUL.- White Cube Seoul is presenting a new body of work by Brazilian artist Marina Rheingantz, whose paintings transform memories, photographs and impressions of the Brazilian landscape into shifting, elusive terrains that resist any fixed sense of place. Rather than depicting specific locations, Rheingantz builds her landscapes from an evolving personal archive that includes photographs, textile references, painterly influences and memories of growing up in rural Araraquara, Brazil. Her works often appear caught between recognition and abstraction, as if the image is constantly coming into view and disappearing again. That sense of instability is central to Míope (2026), the painting that gives the exhibition its title. The Portuguese word means “nearsighted,” an apt description for Rheingantz’s broader approach to landscape. Across the canvas, botanical fragments appear in mauve, lavender and ochre, rendered through delicate, ... More
Māra Vaičunas. Paint Brush. 2002. Oil on wood. Private collection.
RIGA.- From 5 September 2026 to 14 March 2027, as part of The Generation cycle, the exhibition Māra Vaičunas. Beyond is on view in the right wing galleries on the 2nd floor of the main building of the Latvian National Museum of Art in Riga. What do we know about Māra Vaičunas? Almost nothing. She exists outside places of gathering, outside the crowd. Is it an intentional defence of her creative freedom? Quite possibly. This is the first larger exhibition of Māra Vaičunas’ oeuvre at the Latvian National Museum of Art. Māra Vaičunas speaks about things that are easier to paint than to tell someone or confide in them. This muteness and seclusion was a way of living her life, keeping tightly to herself, in her lovely days (a title of Māra’s work), painting. In the art scene which Māra Vaičunas entered, especially in painting, where conceptual weight and figuration was the highest, fullest expression of an idea, her works did not fin ... More

South London Gallery to present major solo exhibition by Monika Sosnowska LONDON.- This autumn, the South London Gallery will present Weight of Matter, a major solo exhibition by Polish artist Monika Sosnowska (b. 1972, Ryki). Spanning the Main Gallery and two floors of the Fire Station, the exhibition will feature some of Sosnowska’s monumental sculptures, including deconstructed forms rendered in steel, concrete and other materials associated with modernist architecture. Sosnowska’s sculptural practice explores urban transformation, and how architecture reflects social and political change, in particular the implosion of the Communist regime in Poland and the legacy of modernism. Her interest lies in the impact that architecture and space have on people and the challenges involved in transforming existing structures. At the SLG, a monumental site-specific installation in the Victorian Main Gallery will unite a group of previously ... More
Galerie Julian Sander honors August Sander's 150th anniversary and legacy COLOGNE.- With the three-part exhibition cycle August Sander. Architecture, Landscape, Portrait. Facets of an Œuvre, the gallery is honouring two major anniversaries: firstly, the photographer would have turned 150 on 17 November this year; and secondly, next year marks the 100th anniversary of the solo exhibition at the Kölnischer Kunstverein in 1927, where he first presented the broad outlines of his epoch-making work People of the 20th Century. Sander’s significance as one of the most important photographers of the 20th century is founded on this conceptually structured opus magnum, which was based on the intention to comprehensively depict the structure of the society of his time through numerous individual and group portraits. Yet it was by no means solely in the genre of portraiture that he proved himself a master of his medium. Sander not only pursued ... More
Kemper Art Museum to present Carolina Caycedo solo exhibition Growing Deep Roots ST. LOUIS, MO.- The Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis presents Carolina Caycedo: Growing Deep Roots, a solo exhibition of new and recent work by the Los Angeles–based Colombian artist Carolina Caycedo. Drawing on environmental justice frameworks, traditional knowledge systems, and ecofeminism, Caycedo’s practice challenges dominant conceptions of nature as a resource to be exploited, instead positioning ecosystems as living networks to which we are deeply accountable. The exhibition brings together works that address the interrelated issues of water and land stewardship and just energy transition, highlighting Caycedo’s continued engagement with rivers and the socio-ecological impacts of extractive, profit-driven expansion, alongside works that imagine more reciprocal futures. In her Plant Portraits series ... More
Ippodo Gallery to present Kaori Someya solo exhibition The Light Within NEW YORK, NY.- Ippodo Gallery will present Kaori Someya: The Light Within, an exhibition of new works, from September 10 to October 17, 2026. The show opens in attendance of the artist visiting from Tokyo on Thursday, September 10 from 5–8PM. The exhibition features more than a dozen of her latest urahaku Nihonga paintings, created in part during her ongoing artist’s residency in Brooklyn. The centerpieces of the Manhattan gallery exhibition are two folding screens; inspired by the most celebrated masterworks of Japan’s Rimpa school, one closely recreates the scene of Tawaraya Sōtatsu's Wind God Fujin and Thunder God Raijin (c. 1639), while another references Ogata Kōrin's Kohaku Bai-zu (Red and White Plum Blossoms, c. 1714–16). Someya’s contemporary portrait scenes are illuminated using a thousand-year-old technique of diffusing ... More

E-WERK Luckenwalde to present major Asad Raza exhibition on electricity LUCKENWALDE.- Long before electricity was generated, it was conducted. The Earth is continually traversed by currents that precede and exceed electrical systems. Solar radiation, atmospheric charge, flowing water, roots, nerves and power grids each transmit transformations from one body to another. Conductivity is not confined to metals or machines; it describes a more general capacity to receive, transform and pass something onward. A conductor is never simply an object. It exists through what moves across it. For Electricity, Asad Raza responds directly to the context of E-WERK Luckenwalde as a reactivated power station by artist Pablo Wendel, and approaches electricity not as an invisible utility or technological achievement, but as something earthly, ontological and sublime. Visitors move through the site in small groups led by a Conductor, whose ... More

On a day like today, French painter Henri Rousseau died
September 02, 1910. Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (21 May 1844 - 2 September 1910) was a French post-Impressionist painter in the Naïve or Primitive manner. He was also known as Le Douanier (the customs officer), a humorous description of his occupation as a toll and tax collector. He started painting seriously in his early forties; by age 49, he retired from his job to work on his art full-time. Tiger in a Tropical Storm (Surprised!) (1891) was the first of many jungle scenes for which Rousseau is best known.
