WINTER PARK, FLA.- The Rollins Museum of Art announced a gift from The First United Methodist Church Winter Park, a historic stained-glass window made in the late 19th century, now formally recognized in the collection as A.F. Mueller’s Adoration of the Magi as of February 2026. Measuring 15' x 5' and depicting The Adoration of the Magi, the window was fabricated by American manufacturer, the Milwaukee-based Mueller Mirror and Art Glass Works, and exemplifies the taste for late 19th-century European stained-glass design, particularly devotional images in American houses of worship. Originally installed in the of Reeves Memorial Methodist Church in Orlando (NW corner of Oregon Street and North Ferncreek Ave), which closed in 2018, the window was later transferred to First United Methodist Church in Winter Park, just two blocks north of the Museum’s ...

LENS.- Containing some 300 masterpieces, the Beyond the One Thousand and One Nights exhibition invites visitors on a voyage through time to discover how, knowledge and imagined settings circulate and are transformed. The exhibition explores the multiple lives of artworks – the fates of objects since their creation, their travels and the reinterpretations and questions of new narratives are built, transformed and transferred. In the early 18th century, Antoine Galland published a French version of One Thousand and One Nights, a collection of tales from Indian and Persian traditions, first compiled in Arabic in the 9th century. Renowned for their otherworldly, enchanted tales, shaped by centuries of rewriting, revival and imagination, these stories gained immense popularity in Europe. Their success had a profound impact on portrayals of the Orient, demonstrating a desire for new horizons and acting as a mirror held up to the societies that adopted them. But the story did not begin with Gal ... More
Jasper Johns, Two Flags on Orange, 1986–87. Acrylic, ink, and crayon on plastic, 34 1/8 x 24 inches. Private collection, New York.
NEW YORK, NY.- Craig Starr Gallery is presenting Jasper Johns: Flags on view April 2 – June 27, 2026. Organized in collaboration with the artist and his studio, the exhibition assembles paintings, drawings, and sculptures that expand Johns’s iconic motif into unexpected forms—including double and triple flags, flags rendered in complementary colors, monochromes, and flags set against fields. The show will include loans from the Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Modern Art, New York, Jasper Johns, and private collections. This presentation brings together distinctive and unconventional treatments of the flag, revealing the formal and material range Johns achieved through a single, inexhaustible image. “One night I dreamed that I painted a large American flag, and the next morning I got up and went out and bought the materials to begin it,” recalled the artist. That ... More
The painting of Robert Burns was found during a house clearance in Surrey and consigned to auction in Wimbledon, London in March 2025.
EDINBURGH.- A lost portrait of the famous Scottish poet, Robert Burns, by the renowned artist Sir Henry Raeburn has been found after over 200 years. The painting of Robert Burns was found during a house clearance in Surrey and consigned to auction in Wimbledon, London in March 2025. With a starting price of between £300─£500, the winning bid was £68,000. A triumph against all the odds, Dr William (Bill) Zachs, Director of Blackie House Library and Museum in Edinburgh and long-term Burns scholar and enthusiast, understood the potential significance of the painting and purchased the portrait believing it could be the elusive missing artwork. The painting has since been cleaned, and examined by experts, who confirm that it is, indeed, the lost Raeburn portrait. Commissioned in 1803 ─ at a fee of 20 guineas ─ by the publishers Cadell & Davies, the painting was to be engraved for ... More
Francisca García and Mario Navarro, 687 days (still), 2026. Courtesy of the artists.
GHENT.- Unearthed Conversation presents new work by artists Francisca García (b. 1969, Santiago de Chile) and Mario Navarro (b. 1970, Santiago de Chile). This collaborative project departs from the 1964 Chilean documentary film ‘Aquí Vivieron’ by Pedro Chaskel and Héctor Ríos, and from images taken by the NASA Perseverance Mars Rover on the planet Mars since 2021. Chaskel and Ríos’ documentary focuses on the excavation of material remains of the Chango culture at the mouth of the Loa River in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. In terms of surface and structure, the desert closely resembles the planet Mars. With this exhibition, García and Navarro connect these two landscapes and geographies, and use images to reflect on both the future and the past. The Atacama is both the protagonist and the backdrop of this exhibition. Like the exhibition itself, the desert brings together stories and traces of forgotten pasts. These include archaeological finds from the Chango culture, the ... More

SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- To step into the Asian Art Museum’s spring exhibition Chiharu Shiota: Two Home Countries is to enter a space where memory hangs overhead — vast, intimate, and inescapable. Dense networks of red thread fill the gallery like veins or neural pathways, suspending handwritten diary pages that serve as memories of lived experience. Visitors do not stand apart from the work; they move through it, their bodies woven into the artist’s meditation on identity, displacement, and what it means to belong. On view at the Asian Art Museum from April 3 to July 20, 2026, Two Home Countries marks the first solo museum exhibition in the Bay Area by internationally acclaimed Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota. Installed in the museum’s Yang Yamazaki Pavilion, the largest of its special exhibition galleries, the presentation brings together immersive installations, sculpture, video, and performance works that span ...

Thomas Wilmer Dewing (1851–1938), Figures with Blossoms, 1900. Estimate: $300,000 – 500,000.
NEW YORK, NY.- This spring Bonhams will present its live American Art sale on April 23 in New York at its new U.S. flagship location, 111 West 57th Street.

Gwen Hardie, Arc of the Sun, Venetian Red, 08.16.25, pure venetian red on raw umber, 2025. Oil on canvas, 20 x 20 in.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Dolby Chadwick Gallery announces Alchemy of Light, an exhibition of recent work by Gwen Hardie. In Hardie’s paintings, a square of canvas becomes an animated field of color that holds light and suggests three-dimensional presence. Tonal and chromatic shifts cause the surface to hover, deepen, and subtly reconfigure as we look. Hardie’s practice is rooted in decades of close observation. At Edinburgh College of Art, she spent years studying the live model in natural light, learning how minute variations in color and value generate presence rather than narrative. That sensitivity to tonal transition and how light becomes form has remained central even as her work moved from figuration to abstraction. Alongside these formal shifts has been a sustained attention to flux and to the understanding that what appears fixed is already changing. Her move to the square format in 2018 opened a new ... More

NEW TAIPEI CITY.- In Interwoven, Tomás Saraceno’s first large-scale solo exhibition in Taiwan, audiences are invited to attune with and learn from the web(s) of life—together with the air, spiders, clouds, spores, seeds, black matter, particulate matter of soot and pollution, and the cosmos. Visitors will encounter immersive installations where spider/web architectures and flying museums of re-used materials become vehicles to imagine a multiplicity of futures, and witness the artist's long-standing collaboration with the Indigenous Communities of Salinas Grandes in northern Argentina. This collaboration is rooted in ecosocial justice, learning from ancestral knowledges and resisting the socio-political and economic structures that underlie ecological crises and extractive dynamics between the global majority and the global minority. In doing so, sustainability is no longer treated as an abstract ideal, but as a shared challenge of coexistence that must be continually questioned, ... More
VIENNA.- A new exhibition at Albertina Modern is putting comics at the heart of contemporary art, revealing how graphic storytelling has shaped visual culture over the past decades. Bringing together a wide range of artists, the show explores the dynamic relationship between comics, cartoons, and fine art since the second half of the 20th century. At the center of the exhibition is KAWS, whose instantly recognizable figures bridge the worlds of pop culture, commercial imagery, and museum-grade sculpture. By placing his work alongside both historical and contemporary artists, the exhibition highlights how comics have evolved into a universal visual language that transcends cultural and social boundaries. KAWS, who began his career in the 1990s altering advertisements in public spaces, has built an international reputation through his emotionally charged characters. Known for their crossed-out eyes and expressive ... More
LAUSANNE.- “For me, it’s interesting to think about deep time and about possibilities, futures. About constellations that are affecting the Earth from outside, and constellations that are affecting the Earth from inside.” The Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts, Lausanne (MCBA) presents a major exhibition dedicated to Otobong Nkanga, whose practice focuses on the connections between ecology, memory and the circulation of resources. At once a survey and a cross-section of Nkanga’s protean oeuvre from the past thirty years, the exhibition I dreamt of you in colours traces the genealogy of recurring subjects whose visual expression is constantly evolving. Since the late 1990s, following her studies in Nigeria, France and The Netherlands, the artist has been exploring issues relating to mining, the use of the Earth’s resources, and the body in its relationship to space and the land. Nkanga ... More

Ladji Diaby's spiritual furniture debuts at Lafayette Anticipations PARIS.- For his exhibition Who’s Gonna Save the World? at Lafayette Anticipations, Ladji Diaby presents an installation built from furniture found on the street or sourced second hand. Each piece has been transformed by the artist, echoing his mother’s habit of decorating and embellishing furniture in her home to imbue it with spirituality and a closeness to God. Ladji Diaby uses furniture as vitrines for discarded objects, each work becoming a symbolic collaboration between the artist and an object’s unknown former owner. While these objects and artifacts carry little material value, they are perceived differently installed in an art space. Through the act of exhibition, the artist interrogates the systems which determine cultural value in the West. Taken together, these works function as talismans from this imagined new world in which the artist’s political, spiritual, and artistic aspirations converge. ... More
Now on display: World premiere display of Late Jurassic predator COLCHESTER.- A 154-million-year-old theropod fossil that may be the key to discovering a new dinosaur species is on display for the first time at Hollytrees Museum in Colchester, from 3 April 2026 to 1 November 2027. London-based natural history and antiquities gallery David Aaron sold the fossil to a private collector in 2024 and has been instrumental in facilitating the loan of the specimen to the Colchester + Ipswich Museums. Nicknamed ‘Juliasaurus’, the fossil was excavated in 2020 from the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation in Wyoming. Initial palaeontological inspection of the fossil indicated similarities to Allosaurus or Marshosaurus, but the differing anatomy of the ‘Juliasaurus’ means further research is required to determine whether the fossil represents a new species. What is remarkable about this specimen is the completeness of the fossil and the potential ... More
Cosmopolitan crossroads: EMST Athens reclaims the Greek postwar avant-garde ATHENS.- The National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens (EMSΤ) launches its 2026 exhibition programme with three major exhibitions dedicated to seminal figures of the Greek postwar avant-garde: Jani Christou: Enantiodromia; Niki Kanagini: An Ode to Things; Stathis Logothetis: Earth to Earth. The programme marks the beginning of a new exhibition cycle that explores the complex and often contested legacy of cosmopolitanism across the Eastern Mediterranean and its various diasporas, Greek and otherwise. Through a sequence of retrospectives, archival exhibitions, and contemporary presentations, it revisits the intertwined cultural and socio-political histories of south east Europe, the Balkans and the Near East, or ‘Levant’, and beyond, foregrounding artists and narratives that have often remained marginal or insufficiently recognised. The programme will unfold ... More

Palais de Tokyo presents summer 2026 program Normes Corps TOKYO.- As an extension of the work carried out by Palais de Tokyo around inclusion, mental health, and more broadly, the recognition of differences as enrichment, this season takes a positive look at notions of vulnerability, fragility, disability, and deviations from the norm to offer artistic experiences that challenge preconceived notions. More specifically, it is the notion of ableism that is at play here: the system that establishes, through physical and psychological criteria, a hierarchy between bodies, between those considered “normal” and those deemed “abnormal.” It is in the challenge to such standards that the subversive power of disability lies: a space that questions the foundations of a society crystallized around ideas of performance, speed, autonomy, immediate productivity and surpassing oneself—while, conversely, affirming difference, dysfunction, ...

A Technicolour Britain: 'You Are Here' traces 75 years of rebellion and ingenuity in London LONDON.- The Southbank Centre today announces further details of You Are Here (3 May 2026), the centrepiece of its 75th anniversary celebrations. Created by leading voices across film, theatre, literature and fashion – Gareth Pugh, Carson McColl, Danny Boyle and Paulette Randall, with Sabrina Mahfouz and Natasha Chivers, the landmark event will transform the Southbank Centre in a one-day, sitewide experience: an immersive fusion of theatrical performance, live music, dance, fashion and visual art that reveals the throughlines between cultural movements that have shifted Britain’s kaleidoscopic identity. Since the Festival of Britain in 1951, the Southbank Centre has been a leading cultural beacon, a meeting place for boundary-pushing artists and a welcoming space for audiences. You Are Here draws on that spirit and 75 years of history, reimagining ... More
Bronze Age shield returns to Scotland for first time in over 200 years EDINBURGH.- Six Bronze Age shields have been brought together for the first time ahead of a new exhibition opening at the National Museum of Scotland this summer. Dating from 3300 to 3500 years ago, the shields include the only intact examples to survive from Scotland. Five of the shields are part of National Museums Scotland’s collection, discovered in the Borders and Aberdeenshire in the 19th century. The sixth, from Beith in North Ayrshire, was found around 1779 and presented to the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1791. Ahead of going on display in Scotland’s First Warriors (27 Jun 2026 – 17 May 2027) it has been brought back to Scotland on loan for the first time. The bronze shields are exceptional examples of technological skill. Previously thought to be purely ceremonial, recent experiments have shown that they would have been effective ... More
Untold story of Scotland's wartime air defence system revealed EDINBURGH.- The remarkable and largely untold story of the air defence network in Scotland during the Second World War is revealed in a new book by the National Museum of Flight’s aviation curator, Ian Brown. Published on 19 March, The Air Defence System in Scotland: 1938-46 traces the evolution of Scotland’s air defence network throughout the war, highlighting advances in technology and tactics and exploring how radar stations, Royal Observer Corps posts, and operations rooms worked together to detect and respond to incoming enemy aircraft. Much has previously been written about Britain’s wartime air defences, but most accounts focus on the south east of England and the events of the Battle of Britain. This new work instead highlights Scotland’s vital strategic role in tackling the hostile air activity that occurred around the country throughout the war. ... More
