NEW YORK, NY.-Charlotte Hailstone Wu, in collaboration with AG Art Designs, is presenting “Afterglow”, a large-scale sculptural seasonally driven frame installation at the Flatiron NoMad Plaza, through the Flatiron Nomad Partnership. The work marks Hailstone Wu’s first major sculptural commission in a public space, and an extension of the optical and material questions that have defined her painting practice. Made from transparent plexiglass, the installation transforms the Flatiron NoMad Frame into an interactive light sculpture. The acrylic elements allow views of the Flatiron Building and surrounding streetscape to remain visible while casting shifting colored shadows across the plaza as sunlight moves throughout the day. The result is a vibrant, public structure that changes by the hour and invites en ... More
LONDON.- Today, Tate Modern opened an exhibition dedicated to the visionary work of Julio Le Parc (1928-2026). Organised in close collaboration with the artist and his Atelier, the exhibition features over 60 works spanning Le Parc’s extraordinary 70-year career, including interactive installations, striking light sculptures, and geometric abstract paintings. Arranged in a winding, maze-like manner, the exhibition follows Le Parc’s career-long mission to activate the viewer, using optical effects, sensory experiences and physical interactions to make audiences aware of the role they can play in bringing art to life. Born in Argentina, and studying at the Escuela de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires, Le Parc moved to France in 1958 and joined the vibrant Parisian creative scene of the 1960s. The exhibition opens with the artist’s Surfaces series, early black and white gouache studies and paintings, created after his move to Paris in the late 1950s. These ... More
MADRID.- Samsung Electronics Iberia and the Museo Nacional del Prado have launched Photo Prado, a new mobile application that uses artificial intelligence to give visitors a personalized photographic memory of their visit without disrupting the museum experience. Presented as part of the exhibition Prado. 21st Century, the initiative reflects the museum’s ongoing effort to improve the quality of the visitor experience while protecting the atmosphere of its galleries. Since photography is not allowed inside the exhibition rooms, Photo Prado offers a creative alternative: visitors can take home a digital image of themselves integrated into some of the Prado’s most iconic spaces, artworks and visual worlds. The app is free, available in Spanish and English for iOS and Android, and can only be used inside the Museo del Prado. Visitors activate it by scanning a QR code at one of two designated Photo Prado points, located in the entrance hall and next to the museum shop. ... More
LUMA, Arles (France). Courtesy of Frank O. Gehry & Gehry Partners, LLP.
PORTO.- The Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art is presenting a highly anticipated retrospective dedicated to the career of Frank Gehry (1929-2025), one of the most influential and widely celebrated architects of his generation. Curated by António Choupina, Director of Architecture at the Serralves Foundation, together with Gehry Partners and in collaboration with Getty, The Century of Gehry examines 19 of the Canadian-born architect’s most impactful and restlessly innovative buildings and projects across Bilbao, Toronto, Paris, Los Angeles, and elsewhere, to explore his radical approach to form, material, and structure. On view in the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art’s Álvaro Siza Wing through December 30, 2026, The Century of Gehry unfolds across eight thematic chapters, following the combination of instinct and intellect in Gehry’s creative process: from the rebellious intimacy of his Santa Monica ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Hartmann Schedel’s Weltchronik, or Chronicle of the World (better known today as the Nuremberg Chronicle, after the German city in which it was created), was a groundbreaking encyclopedic work and at the time the most lavishly illustrated book ever printed in Europe. Both a historical reference work and a contemporary inventory of urban culture at the end of the 15th century, the Chronicle was to have a remarkable influence on the cultural, ecclesiastical and intellectual history of the Middle Ages. It was particularly notable for its more than 1,800 woodcut illustrations depicting events from the Bible, human monstrosities, portraits of kings, queens, saints and martyrs, and allegorical pictures of miracles, as well as views of a great number of "modern" cities, many of which had never been documented before. Today, copies of the Chronicle sell for up to 200,000 Euros; we’ve procured a rare hand-colored copy, true to the original in every respect, and ... More
Madeleine de Sinéty, Béatrice et la télévision Poilley, 1973.
PARIS.- This exhibition is the first retrospective devoted to Madeleine de Sinéty (1934-2011) whose unique photographic work, in colour and black and white, is still relatively little-known, even though it spans four decades and two continents: Europe (France) and the United States. Born in a Loire Valley château that was destroyed by a fire when she was fourteen, Madeleine de Sinéty trained as a fashion illustrator at the Decorative Arts School in Paris before teaching herself photography in the late 1960s. Timidly at first, in 1970, she shot her neighbourhood around Montparnasse Station in Paris, an area then undergoing rapid change, furtively photographing street scenes and faces. She would do the same in the streets of New York, where she travelled with her husband, Daniel Behrman, an American journalist met in Paris. Together, they harboured a childhood passion for steam trains, which she photographed tirelessly. It was here, in Montparnasse, that she found her position or place with her ... More
LONDON.- Gagosian announces Upside Down, an exhibition of new fin sculptures by Alex Israel at the Davies Street gallery in London, opening June 12. The four sculptures on view, enlarged versions of those found on surfboards, allude to both Southern California surf culture and postwar Los Angeles art history. Carved from Plexiglas and rendered in varying degrees of reflectivity and transparency, the works’ sleek production and emphasis on physical and perceptual experience invite dialogue with the region’s Finish Fetish and Light and Space movements of the 1960s. The sculptures’ pop-inflected colors evoke the commercial aesthetics employed by surf brands to convey the freedom and optimism long associated with Southern California’s coastal lifestyle. Each work is titled after a beloved pop song, adding to its aura of collective longing and nostalgia. The new fins, related to those first exhibited at Gagosian Rome in 2023, are here inverted and suspended from ... More
UTICA, NY.- Experience the wonder of summer through an enchanting exhibition at Munson Museum of Art in downtown Utica, N.Y. “Watercolor Stories: The Art of Charles E. Burchfield,” opening Friday, June 12, explores the enduring friendship between artist Charles E. Burchfield and Munson benefactor Edward Root through a collection of dynamic and expressive watercolor paintings, letters, and other archival materials. The exhibition remains on view through Sept. 13. Burchfield was an artist with a sensitivity to all aspects of the natural world, focusing on sites of emotional connection largely in Ohio and Western New York that inspired him throughout his life. He transformed his emotions into vibrant depictions of the power and beauty of nature through his expressive artwork. Taking inspiration from the work of American philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau, Burchfield ... More
OTTAWA.- From June 12 to September 20, 2026, the National Gallery of Canada (NGC) presents Qillaniq, a groundbreaking exhibition devoted entirely to contemporary artists from the circumpolar Arctic region. Featuring more than 80 works of art by more than 70 artists, Qillaniq marks the largest circumpolar exhibition ever assembled, shattering expectations and redefining global contemporary art. The exhibition’s title, Qillaniq (pronounced qeel-lah-NEEQ) is an Inuktitut word describing the way light from the sun or moon shimmers brightly as it reflects on water. This powerful concept serves as a metaphor for the “shine” of circumpolar Indigenous Peoples resisting colonization, maintaining their deep connection to the land, and using art to bring the extraordinary into everyday life. “While the global gaze often fixes on the Arctic through a lens of crisis and geopolitical urgency, Qillaniq enters this moment differently,” said Jean-François Bélisle, Director ...

This sale builds on the success of our March auctions in New York for South Asian Modern + Contemporary art, while marking a s ... More
Steina: Playback Exhibition view Haus der Kunst München, 2026. Photo: Milena Wohjan.
MUNICH.- “Steina: Playback” traces more than five decades of work by an artist considered foundational to the history of video art. A classically trained violinist, Steina (b. Steinunn Briem Bjarnadóttir, 1940, Reykjavík, Iceland) took up the medium of video in 1970, approaching the camera as a musical instrument guided by what she has called the “majestic flow of time.” Image and sound become exchangeable in her work: the electronic signal is simultaneously image and sound, the apparatus simultaneously tool and agent. Coming from the world of music, she brought qualities of play and performance to her sense of composition and to the interfacing of musical instruments and video imaging tools in real time. Playback, repetition, and the looped temporalities of the medium have long structured how Steina has presented her work. At Haus der Kunst, the exhibition unfolds not as a chronology but as an orbit through Steina’s cosmos: her invented tools, ... More
Trevor Winkfield, Self Portrait, 2001. Acrylic on linen, 58 x 36 inches.
NEW YORK, NY.- Tibor de Nagy Gallery is presenting Trevor Winkfield: The Mermaid’s Revenge, an exhibition of paintings made between 1991 and 2001. This was an especially inventive and productive decade for Winkfield, who, working in a sizable studio, was able to realize a series of ambitious, large-scale paintings. Born in England, Winkfield moved to New York in 1969 and settled here permanently. He quickly became part of a vibrant circle of New York artists and poets. Yet the imagery of his homeland remained indelibly inscribed in his imagination, particularly a medieval and ceremonial England of heraldry, chivalry, court jesters, and the symbolic language of orbs, swords, and scepters. It is to this imagined homeland that many of the paintings from the 1990s allude. In a catalogue devoted to these works, published in 1997, Jed Perl quoted the artist’s vivid memory of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953. Winkfield recalled being struck by “all the ceremony and ... More
Caguiat Delacruz, The Tramp (still), 2026. Courtesy of the artists, Greene Naftali, New York and Hoffman Donahue, New York and Los Angeles.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- The Tramp brings together a newly commissioned film, paintings, prints, and installations by Caguiat Delacruz (Justin Caguiat and Rafael Delacruz). At the heart of the exhibition is a film by Caguiat Delacruz that follows two characters Wesley (and his dog Chips) and Hiroko. As a point of reference, the artists use Charlie Chaplin’s iconic film, The Tramp (1915), which was shot and produced in Fremont, 35 miles south of San Francisco. Caguiat Delacruz find kinship with Chaplin’s beloved character of the Tramp—a mischievous vagrant living on the margins, using playful antics to elide authority figures and trick the elite to survive in a rapidly modernizing society. The Tramp’s use of play is embodied in Caguiat Delacruz’s own collaborative process. Together, they find a freedom to experiment and push the boundaries of their work to the margins. Softening the borders across mediums, the artists have ... More

Heritage Auctions presents a significant collection of Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs DALLAS, TX.- The Pulitzer Prize in Photography is one of the most prestigious awards in photojournalism. Established as a Pulitzer category in 1942, it acknowledges the power of the camera to document history with a directness and emotional impact unlike any other medium. In 1968, the award was divided into two categories: Feature Photography, honoring in-depth visual storytelling, and Breaking News Photography, recognizing powerful images captured during unfolding events. And since its inception, Pulitzer Prize-winning photography has chronicled the defining moments of the modern era. From the battlefields of World War II and Vietnam to the struggle for civil rights, political upheaval, natural disasters and moments of profound human triumph and tragedy, these images have informed the public, challenged assumptions and become part of our collective memory. Many Pulitzer-winning photographs have transcended journalism to become ... More

Kyiv Biennial: A Bird That Cannot Land opens at KW Institute for Contemporary Art BERLIN.- The Kyiv Biennial is a nomadic, international project that interweaves artistic, political, and social issues. A Bird That Cannot Land, its chapter at KW, takes shape as an extensive live and discursive program and a large-scale exhibition spanning the entire building, contributing to the biennial’s reflections through contemporary art, sound, and exchange. Situated in shifting political realities, A Bird That Cannot Land centers on the notion of a “Middle-East-Europe” and its histories of dispute, coloniality, and imperialism. Recurring conflicts reopen the wounds of those preceding them and challenge our sense of shared experience, language, and imagination. By linking post-Soviet Eastern Europe with Central and Southwest Asia, and the Mediterranean, the exhibition and its live and discursive events turn to questions on how we make meaning and experience ...

From draughtsman to master sculptor: The world of Lynn Chadwick LONDON.- Pangolin London is presenting an exhibition focusing on the prints of celebrated sculptor Lynn Chadwick. Featuring screenprints and lithographs created throughout his illustrious career, the exhibition highlights Chadwick’s adept control of line and form in two dimensions and his skill at creating strong graphic images where he could experiment with colour and composition. This is the first exhibition of its kind in London and explores the depth of Lynn Chadwick’s visual thinking by presenting his print oeuvre alongside related sculptures. “Throughout his career, Chadwick frequently revisited earlier themes, exploring and refining them across media. Drawing and printmaking provided him with an intimate, immediate way to continue his visual thought process, distilling sculptural ideas to their purest forms.” – Rungwe Kingdon In 1956, the year Lynn Chadwick ...

The Museum of Contemporary Art of the Basque Country-Artium Museoa presents Rosalind Nashashibi: Get Me A Stone VITORIA-GASTEIZ.- Get Me A Stone features a series of paintings produced between 2021 and 2026 by Rosalind Nashashibi. Both the space they refer to and the time frame reflect the emotional and political engagement of the artist with the current situation in the Gaza Strip. Although it is evident in Nashashibi’s work that her two main media, film and painting, permeate each other, in the case of the aforementioned works there is something that painting can bring forth with particular force, counteracting the brutality of the images we have witnessed in the last two and a half years, without turning its back on the necessary acknowledgment of that violence. A space emerges in the pictorial act that goes beyond representation, where the symbolic ... More
Onyeka Igwe confronts British colonial archives in new Secession exhibition VIENNA.- Onyeka Igwe’s practice excavates the unstable ground of the colonial archive, approaching it not as a fixed repository of knowledge but as a site of friction, opacity, and unresolved violence. Her films and installations confront the archive by attending to what is missing, suppressed, or rendered inaudible. Igwe reactivates materials often treated as inert – celluloid reels, visual records of past bureaucracies, abandoned and forgotten spaces. What emerges is not a reconstruction of history but an attunement to its dissonances: a historiography felt through the body, where colonial violence, far from being in the past, persists as a condition of the present. In the First Floor Gallery, two video works – both part of No Archive Can Restore this Chorus of (Diasporic) Shame (2024/26) – unfold in close relation to one another. Presented on the window front, the moving ... More
Xie Nanxing's thirty-year painting career surveyed in 'Fugitive Figuration' exhibition ZURICH.- Fugitive Figuration traces the practice of Xie Nanxing from his iconic works of the 1990s to his most recent paintings from 2026. The exhibition acts both as an introduction and an appraisal of the exceptional position he holds in contemporary Chinese and international art. For the first time, nine paintings from six different series are brought into conversation with one another. Together, they incite dreams and analysis in equal measure, revealing the different morphologies of figuration that have emerged in his practice over the last thirty years. Xie’s paintings are essentially filmic even if he deploys no time-based media. With their scenic quality, they incite the viewer to submerge themselves in a multilayered, visual narrative. This effect is particularly pronounced in Untitled, No. 6, from 2003, the last work in a seminal series in which he painted ... More
Marela Zacarías brings Aletheia to Bienvenu Steinberg & C NEW YORK, NY.- Bienvenu Steinberg & C is presenting Aletheia, an exhibition of new works by Mexican artist Marela Zacarías, marking her first solo exhibition with the gallery. At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is. T.S. Eliot, Burnt Norton Like life, time is often said to unfold: the common expression expresses our common understanding of both. And that which unfolds must by necessity have been folded, so that if time (like life) unfolds, then it (or they) must previously have been folded. Yet that which is folded must, again by necessity, have been previously unfolded. The cycle is endless; what goes around, comes around. As a result, such folding and unfolding — of time, of life — come together in their ineluctable continuum to yield a kind of fold entirely its own, a fold in the sense ... More

FOTOHOF explores performance, photography and identity in Still Performing SALZBURG.- FOTOHOF has opened Still Performing, an exhibition that brings together the work of Florian Aschka & Larissa Kopp, Andy Kassier and Milena Wojhan, three artistic positions in which photography and performance are deeply intertwined. The exhibition opened on June 11, 2026, and continues through July 30, 2026, at FOTOHOF in Salzburg. Rather than treating photography simply as a record of a performance, Still Performing looks at the photograph as a stage, a place where gestures, costumes, poses and social roles are constructed, questioned and transformed. The title plays on the word “still,” suggesting both the photographic still image and the idea of an action that continues over time. In this sense, the works on view are not static images, but traces of ongoing performative processes. They explore how identity is shaped ... More

On a day like today, English painter and academic John Constable was born
June 11, 1776. John Constable (11 June 1776 - 31 March 1837) was an English landscape painter in the Romantic tradition. Born in Suffolk, he is known principally for revolutionising the genre of landscape painting with his pictures of Dedham Vale, the area on the borderland of Suffolk and north Essex surrounding his home - now known as "Constable Country" - which he invested with an intensity of affection. "I should paint my own places best", he wrote to his friend John Fisher in 1821, "painting is but another word for feeling."
