The gallery is located in the Railyard Arts District at 554 South Guadalupe Street. The colors sink deep into you. The heat of a gouache red. The radiant blue glow of light in a glass tube. The shimmering gold of pearlescent pigment on Plexiglas. The forms and formats as distinct as the techniques. Yet these works of art, large and small, all somehow find their way deep into the body of the viewer - shifting, shaping, answering questions we hadn't realized needed asking. ... More

Its small eye openings suggest it was not intended to be worn, but rather attached ... More

BEVERLY HILLS, CA.- Gagosian announces Seeing Through: Jia Aili’s Parallel Paintings, a major exhibition of new works by the artist. This is Jia’s first solo presentation at the gallery in Beverly Hills and marks his first solo project with Gagosian since 2019’s Combustion in New York. A key figure in Chinese contemporary painting, Jia crafts expansive, dynamic compositions that engage with classic art historical modes. Challenging established visual conventions in the context of a rapidly changing world, he responds directly to the fluid nature of contemporary experience. In these canvases, natural landscapes, historical images, and abstract forms intertwine as the artist reconfigures source material from disparate periods and cultures to build a complex, layered reality that resists any singular narrative. In the Beverly Hills exhibition, Jia deepens these ongoing investigations while introducing, for the first time, a concept he has developed and terms parallel painting, through which he ... More
John Baldessari, Beethoven’s Trumpet (With Ear) Opus # 133, 2007 (detail).
LOS ANGELES, CA.- John Baldessari is renowned for his brilliant visual experiments with language, photography, and painting spanning from the 1960s to 2020. Less explored is the artist’s creative use of three-dimensional space, whether by deploying patterned wallpapers, working in bas-relief, or creating captivating sculptures and installations. Sprüth Magers is pleased to present an exhibition at the Los Angeles gallery devoted to the sculptural impulse in Baldessari’s work, featuring projects that have been brought together for the first time to explore how the artist played with space and scale to dramatic effect. Already in the 1980s, the artist expanded the physical bounds of his two-dimensional practice with his composite photoworks, in which multiple framed elements spread imagery in configurations across the gallery walls. In the mid-1990s, while producing bas-relief paper prints with the LA print workshop Mixografia, Baldessari remarked: “Sculpture has always scared me. Face your ... More
The dress that has become an enduring symbol of confidence and self-possession
returns to auction after nearly three decades. Carrying an estimate of $150,000 –300,000 (£110,000 – 220,000).
LONDON.- On the warm summer evening of June 29, 1994, Diana, Princess of Wales, made a showstopping arrival at Serpentine, one of London’s most famous art galleries, for a fundraising dinner hosted by Vanity Fair. As she stepped out of her car into a blaze of camera flashes from a crowd of photographers, she was wearing a striking figure-hugging, strapless black silk evening dress by Greek designer Christina Stambolian accessorised with a royal jewel, a black clutch and black pumps. Beamed to the world within minutes, the look would become one of the most enduring fashion statements of the 20th century. Now, more than three decades later, that very dress returns to the spotlight. Estimated at $150,000–300,000 (£110,000-220,000), Princess Diana’s iconic Stambolian dress will be sold this December during Sotheby’s Luxury Week. The dress will be offered at auction for the first ... More

PARIS.- Christie's announces the forthcoming sale on December 2 of Mia Van Hool: L'audace à l'oeuvre, which will be exhibited in Brussels from September 10 to 13 as part of RendezVous Brussels Art Week.

Built with passion over four decades, this collection brings together the boldest and most radical forms of contemporary creation: the melancholic insolence of Yoshitomo Nara, the conceptual rigor of On Kawara, the playful irony of Marcel Broodthaers, the quiet color of Luc Tuymans, the unsettling flesh-like sculptures of Berlinde De Bruyckere, the feminist activism of Miriam Cahn, and Marlene Dumas' ...

Alyce Mahon, Olivia Sterling, Yuko Juda, David Juda.
LONDON.- The judges' decision was announced at a special reception on 10 September at Annely Juda Fine Art's new gallery, 16 Hanover Square, Mayfair. The grant gives the recipient £50,000 to help alleviate some of their financial pressures and give them freedom to concentrate on their practice. The winner of this year's grant is Soheila Sokhanvari (b.1964), an artist whose practice explores memory, identity and cultural displacement through painting, drawing and installation. Trained initially in biochemistry before turning to fine art, Sokhanvari employs the traditional technique of egg tempera on calf vellum, painstakingly grinding her own pigments to create works that evoke the precision of illuminated manuscripts. Drawing on magic realism, symbolism and allegory, her work addresses political and social histories through metaphor, resisting fixed or authoritarian narratives. This year a special second grant of £10,000 was awarded to Olivia Sterling (b. 1996), a London-based painter ... More

Capitain Petzel presents Austin Martin White's second solo exhibition in Berlin BERLIN.- Capitain Petzel announces The lie, the larp and the lusophile, Austin Martin White’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, spanning its entire exhibition space. Through paintings and works on paper, White investigates the construction of historical memory, exploring postcolonial histories and the ways images shape cultural narratives while addressing the unstable boundary between historical fact, national myth, and cultural identity. At the core of the exhibition is the legacy of the Brazilian Baroque sculptor Antônio Francisco Lisboa (c. 1738–1814), known as Aleijadinho, whose biography has long oscillated between documented history and legend. White presents portraits of the artist alongside depictions of his prophet sculptures at the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Matosinhos in Congonhas. Other paintings draw on the woodcut covers of literatura ... More

Kumu Art Museum presents its fall 2026 programme focusing on Sámi and Finno-Ugric Images TALLINN.- This autumn, Kumu Art Museum opens two parallel exhibitions focusing on Sámi activist art and the role of Finno-Ugric ethnography in Estonian nation-building. Developed through three years of dialogue, they share a concern with the close connections between power, images, and knowledge production. Sámi art started to become politicized in the 1970s, when many artists joined the struggle for Indigenous rights. By comparison, the opportunities for the small Finno-Ugric nations living in Russia to stand up for their rights have been radically more constrained, especially since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Artists: Carola Grahn, Snowchange: Pauliina Feodoroff & Kaisu Mustonen, Marja Helander, Kalli Kalde, Ketlin Kuusing, Jenni Laiti & Invisible Flock, Britta Marakatt-Labba, Hans Ragnar Mathisen, Alo Paistik, Outi Pieski, Suohpanterror, ...

Francisco Carolinum Linz presents first institutional retrospective of Ana María Caballero LINZ.- The Francisco Carolinum Linz presents Read the Room, the first institutional mid-career retrospective of the artist and poet Ana María Caballero. The exhibition brings together key works from the fields of installation art, performance art, sculpture, choreography, cinematic art and literature. Together, these works offer insight into Caballero's artistic practice, which is based on the fundamental belief that language is not a fixed medium, but a living process that unfolds through the interplay of writing and reading. The exhibition's starting point is Fifty Ways of Looking at a Poem. For this project, Caballero invited 50 people to read and annotate the same poem. Each edition documents an individual reading process, revealing how meaning emerges, changes and multiplies through engagement with a text. The work illustrates what Caballero describes as 'analog generativity': ... More
Berlin exhibition asks what comes between destruction and reconstruction BERLIN.- Rebuilding a city is rarely as simple as replacing what has been destroyed. Behind damaged walls and shattered neighborhoods lie disrupted communities, erased histories, contested land and memories that cannot be reconstructed with concrete alone. A new exhibition at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin takes that difficult space as its subject. Metaxy: Between Destruction and Reconstruction, on view from September 10 through December 6, 2026, brings together artists, architects and spatial practitioners to examine what happens between catastrophe and rebuilding—and why decisions made during that interval can determine what kind of future eventually takes shape. The title comes from the ancient Greek word metaxy, meaning “between.” Here, the term describes a space in which societies confront the past while negotiating the future, ... More
Galerie Nathalie Obadia presents solo exhibition by Robert Kushner in Paris PARIS.- Galerie Nathalie Obadia is presenting a new solo exhibition by American artist Robert Kushner in Paris. Bringing together twelve works produced between 2019 and 2025-eleven works on Japanese paper and one painting on canvas- the exhibition unveils a recent body of work in which the botanical world intertwines with ornament. Cradled in gold leaf and expanses of colour, stems, leaves and petals unfurl. Through these works, Robert Kushner offers an attentive vision of the forms of nature, in which beauty is not a mere embellishment, but a way of contemplating the world. Born in California in 1949, Robert Kushner was one of the founders of the Pattern and Decoration movement, which emerged in the United States in the 1970s in reaction to Minimalism and Conceptual art. Alongside Miriam Schapiro, Valerie Jaudon, Joyce Kozloff and Robert ... More
Juan Asensio explores nature and geometry in new Madrid sculpture show MADRID.- Galería Elvira González, opens APENAS TRANSITAR (Barely Passing Through), the eleventh solo exhibition by sculptor Juan Asensio (Cuenca, 1959) at the gallery. The show features 20 sculptures and continues the path begun in his two previous exhibitions, Verba naturae and Contra natura, in which the artist examines the relationship between nature and geometry. Asensio describes himself as essentially a rational person, and geometric order is the central axis of his work. His interest in nature stems from this: the need to understand how the world is constructed and to uncover the patterns that pulse beneath all things. Over the years, that trajectory has gradually reversed. Whereas at first geometry was almost everything, barely altered by subtle movements, today it must be sought within an increasingly organic language. That same ... More

Edited by archaeologist Vera Tiesler, the book gathers contributions from 36 researchers working across a wide range of disciplines and institutions, including Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History.

On a day like today, American painter Thomas Hill was born
September 11, 1829. Thomas Hill (September 11, 1829 - June 30, 1908) was an American artist of the 19th century. He produced many fine paintings of the Californian landscape, in particular of the Yosemite Valley, as well as the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Hill's work was often driven by a vision resulting from his experiences with nature. For Thomas Hill, Yosemite Valley and the White Mountains of New Hampshire were his sources of inspiration to begin painting and captured his direct response to nature. In this image: Thomas Hill, Indian by a lake in a majestic California landscape.
