Alice B. Toklas (North American, 1877–1967), Quilted vest made for Gertrude Stein, ca. 1920. Gertrude Stein Personal Effects Collection, Box 3. Harry Ransom Center.
AUSTIN, TX.- The Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin presents The Worlds of Gertrude Stein, an interdisciplinary exhibition examining the life and writing of Gertrude Stein, a legendary but much misunderstood modernist figure. Opening August 15, 2026, and running through January 11, 2027, this exhibition is organized by guest curator Dr. Sophie Oliver, Senior Lecturer in Modernism at the University of Liverpool. The exhibition explores three intersecting worlds that Gertrude Stein inhabited: the everyday world of her home, the creative world of words which she made so distinctively her own, and the public world where she found fame. Reflecting on home and belonging, on insiders and outsiders, on the thirst for fame and the desire for privacy, the exhibition invites visitors to reconsider the complexities and contradictions of a literary icon. ...

Pucci. Updated Edition Hardcover, 14.2 x 14.2 in., 12.06 lb, 448 pages ISBN 978-3-8365-8276-6 Edition: Multilingual
NEW YORK, NY.- Emilio Pucci had a passion for women, a visionary sense of style, and an eye for color and design. With these talents, he created a fashion house unlike any other. By the early ’50s, his boutique on the isle of Capri was catering to wealthy sophisticates, heiresses, and movie stars buying his “Capri pants,” silk scarves, and lightweight separates. By the end of the decade, Jacqueline Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe were wearing his dresses, and by the mid-’60s, the label was synonymous with the gilded lifestyle of an international jetset. The Pucci story is a modern epic with its roots in renaissance Italy: the brand’s founder, the Marchese Emilio Pucci di Barsento, was a charismatic aristocrat whose lineage extends back to the 15th century. It is a story of evolution: a family company that grew from one tiny store to an international brand. And finally, it is a tale of innovation: Pucci was one of the first brands to bear a logo, and a pioneer of diversification in ... More
Carrie Mae Weems, The Law of Diminishing Returns 4, 2026, silver metallic print, 27.9 35.6 cm, courtesy of the artist and Galerie Barbara Thumm.
BERLIN.- Galerie Barbara Thumm announce their fourth exhibition with the outstanding American Artist Carrie Mae Weems (*1953, Portland OR, US), one of the most influential voices in contemporary art today. Over a career spanning more than four decades, Weems has created a complex and multifaceted body of work encompassing photography, film, installation and other media, while engaging with the social and political issues of the present which continue to shape our world today. The exhibition will open concurrently with Weems’s travelling exhibition Carrie Mae Weems: The Heart of the Matter at C/O Berlin during Berlin Art Week 2026, as part of a series of events celebrating her work. In the series Seaside, Weems revisits her now-iconic strategy of self-portraiture as witness.

A richly illustrated 128-page book accompanies the exhibition, published by SFMOMA in association with DelMonico Books DAP (Distributed Art Publishers).
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Henri Matisse ignited passionate controversy in 1905 with the public debut of Femme au chapeau (Woman with a Hat) at the Salon d’Automne in Paris. The portrait of the artist’s wife, Amlie, was at the center of a defining moment of rupture in the history of modern art, shocking audiences with its seemingly carefree brushstrokes and bright hues that purposefully departed from observed reality. It was established as the leading image of Fauvism, the first French avant-garde art movement of the 20th century. Until September 13, 2026, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art presents Matisse’s Femme au chapeau: A Modern Scandal, a major exhibition illuminating how the painting—now an icon of the museum’s collection—made its mark on art history. Positioning Matisse in dialogue with his peers, subsequent generations, as well as artists working today, the exhibition will examine in greater depth than ever before the painting’s historical context, subject, prov ...

Heather Horton, From the Aerie, 2025 Oil on panel, 24 x 18 in. 61 x 45.7 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Friedrichs Pontone announced the opening of their summer exhibition, showcasing a selection of works from across the gallery's roster. The Summer Show brings together exceptional new and established talent from the US, UK, Canada, South Korea and Estonia, blending together contemporary voices in abstraction, figuration and mixed media installation. Born in 1983, Chris Rivers is a self taught artist from Manchester, England. His large and dramatic oil paintings are bold, abstract displays of charged colour and fine, surrealistic detail. Not everything is as it first seems in these worlds. Soft light filters through overlaying mists of complimentary tones, gradually swelling with dramatic saturated colour before receding into the image. Estonian artist Kristi Kongi makes paintings and site-specific installations. Her work is rooted in a formal exploration of light, colour and space, initiated by her memories of personally significant landscapes ... More

LONDON.- Lisson London introduces a group exhibition of works by artists from its international programme, including Dana Awartani, Rodney Graham, Peter Joseph, Anish Kapoor, Wael Shawky, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Tunga, and Masaomi Yasunaga – united by their collision of the past and present. The exhibition derives its name from Hiroshi Sugimoto’s acclaimed series, Past Presence, where masterworks are transformed into reflections on cultural continuity, memory and time. Two pieces from the series are highlighted, preceding the artist’s forthcoming solo show at Lisson New York and the reopening of the Hirshhorn Museum Sculpture Garden later this year. Acting as the entry point to the exhibition is Past Presence 042, No. 3 / No. 13, Mark Rothko (2014), a black-and-white photograph of an early Rothko composition at MoMA, New York, paired with Past Presence 077, The Big Ear, Alexander Calder (2016), captured at Basel’s Fondation Beyeler.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Superficial Matters: Artists from the Svane Gift and Beyond continues the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco’s series of exhibitions drawn from a major acquisition of 42 artworks by 30 emerging and midcareer Bay Area artists and collectives, supported by a $1 million gift of the Svane Family Foundation.

The exhibition highlights eight artists who mine the material possibilities of their chosen mediums—from ceramics to photography to painting—to explore the surfaces of bodies and objects as critical sites of identity formation. In Western visual culture, appearances and other forms of outward presentation are often devalued as superfluous and superficial— ... More

Cover of the new publication, presented at FILAH.
MEXICO CITY.- Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) has presented a new publication examining one of the most complex questions facing archaeological preservation today: what happens when protecting cultural heritage requires moving it from its original location. Titled Cultural Heritage and Development: The Relocation of Archaeological Monuments in Mexico, the digital volume brings together the work of 18 specialists and grew out of a series of academic discussions organized by INAH around the relocation of pre-Hispanic remains, including archaeological interventions carried out during construction of the Maya Train. The book was presented during the 37th International Anthropology and History Book Fair (FILAH), held at Mexico City’s National Museum of Anthropology. According to INAH Technical Secretary Jos Luis Perea Gonzlez, the publication addresses a fundamental challenge for heritage institutions: how to preserve the past in a world undergoing increasingly ...

Hayv Kahraman, Four Figures Kneeling, 2026. Oil and acrylic on linen, 231.1 x 180.3 cm. 91 x 71 in.
LONDON.- Pilar Corrias is presenting What cannot be said will be wept, an exhibition of new paintings by Hayv Kahraman. The exhibition draws on Kahraman’s personal history as a Kurdish-Iraqi refugee and the loss of her home in the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires to consider the effects of systems that separate people from land, ancestry, ecology and embodied forms of knowledge. The artist's text, written to accompany the exhibition, is included in full below: One of the deepest spells modernity has cast upon me is that of separation. Yes, I was extracted from my land through systemic violence, occupation and domination, this is one form of rupture. But there is another, more insidious severing I am only now beginning to name: a disconnection from my environment, from the natural world, from the human and more-than-human and from a kind of knowing behind knowing. Modernity and coloniality has imposed the illusion that I am ... More
Brains 1914, 2022, graphite, india ink, inkjet print, paper on paper, 14" x 17"
GARRISON, NY.- Garrison Art Center presents Rising Tide, a solo exhibition of twelve works on paper made over the past four years by visual artist and educator Julie Harrison. Driven by curiosity and adventure, Harrison has spent her career investigating materials to mine their visual and physical attributes, playing with changing forms of expression and experimenting with the new. This process has guided the evolution of her work over the years, moving from early video art and performance into drawing. “My work explores invisible structures that shape organic life and ecological systems,” said Harrison, “I visually interpret this through layered, abstract lines and shapes that map energetic exchanges to construct fragments of an imagined biology. My drawings combine graphite and ink with digitally-sourced imagery of microscopic organisms, maps, brain activity, and my own cutout shapes.” She continues, ”These fragments ... More
Confirms that Conanp and INAH complied in a timely and proper manner with the requirements of the World Heritage Committee.
MEXICO CITY.- UNESCO has concluded that there are currently no grounds to consider placing the Ancient Maya City and Protected Tropical Forests of Calakmul on the List of World Heritage in Danger, following an assessment of the impact of Mexico's Maya Train project on the internationally recognized site. The finding is contained in a report from a Reactive Monitoring Mission delivered by UNESCO's World Heritage Centre to Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) and the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (Conanp).

Palmer Gallery presents an exhibition of paintings by Charlotte Winifred Gurard LONDON.- Cherry, cherry brings together paintings Charlotte Winifred Gurard made between the Royal Academy Schools studios (summer 2025) and the Hampshire countryside (Xenia residency, spring 2026). Each work is an abstraction that responds to Gurard's inner worlds - shades of thoughts, distant memories, and more tangible experiences of life meet on the canvas. The title, Cherry, cherry, captures the feeling of jumping from spring to summer, when persistent, piercing light enhances the colours around us - a temporal shift echoed by the lazy, heat-imbued mood of JJ Cale's "Cherry”, which influenced Gurard at the time. The show stages a dialogue between materiality and external observation. Works such as Esquise (2025) and La Valse (2025) condense layers and bold marks that hint at representation but remain largely abstract; while the hanging ... More
Sensory overload makes it harder for female treefrogs to select a mate WASHINGTON, DC.- When shopping for a new appliance, choosing a movie to watch or even ordering a cup of coffee, people often experience “choice overload.” New research from the Smithsonian suggests that female Cope’s gray treefrogs face a similar challenge when selecting a mate. In a study published today in iScience, researchers from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and the University of Tennessee found that when female treefrogs are confronted with too many males calls at once, they become less likely to successfully choose a mate. The findings reveal how cognitive limits may influence mating behavior not only in treefrogs, but also across the animal kingdom. During the breeding season across Eastern North America, Cope’s gray treefrogs gather in large choruses with males calling simultaneously to attract females. The resulting wall ... More
Patrick Heide Contemporary Art opens summer group show Woven Dialogues LONDON.- Patrick Heide Contemporary Art is presenting the summer group exhibition, entitled Woven Dialogues. Woven Dialogues brings together five artists, Kate Terry, Bonolo Kavula, Raphaella Pester, Dillwyn Smith and Defne Tesal, whose practices, though geographically and culturally distinct, share a deep commitment to materiality and the expressive possibilities of textiles and fibre. The exhibition stages a series of encounters: between intimate, hand-built objects and site-specific interventions; between natural pigments and industrially coloured found materials; and between raw, undyed earth tones and vibrant neon hues. Kate Terry (b. 1976, Canada) opens the conversation with a bold spatial intervention. Stretching hundreds of parallel lines of brightly coloured thread across the gallery, she traces the geometry of the space, almost anchoring the air with ... More

Museum Angewandte Kunst to open exhibition on graphic design's influence FRANKFURT.- Graphic design is everywhere, from the packaging on supermarket shelves and the interfaces on our phones to advertising, signage and the systems that help us navigate public space. Yet much of its influence goes unnoticed. A new exhibition at the Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt sets out to make that influence visible. Opening August 20, On Display. How Graphic Design Shapes Us looks at the ways graphic design affects how people perceive information, understand the world and make decisions. Bringing together work by Robin Coenen and Danielle Rosales, Aline Bavier and Sophia Becker, and Anja Kaiser and Rebecca Stephany, the exhibition considers the social and political power of design at a moment of rapid technological and cultural change. At the heart of the exhibition is a deceptively simple idea: information is never presented ... More

On a day like today, American photographer Paul Outerbridge was born
August 15, 1896. Paul Outerbridge, Jr. (August 15, 1896 - October 17, 1958) was an American photographer known for pioneering the carbon-transfer printing process in color photography. His work included still lives, fashion photography, advertising, and provocative female nudes. Throughout his career, Outerbridge struggled to keep consistent employment. He faced criticisms for his erotic nudes and clashed with collectors and museums over his work. He is regarded today as one of the most imaginative and influential American photographers of his day.
