PHILADELPHIA, PA.- Eager to prove itself worthy of trading on the world stage as a newly formed nation 250 years ago, America—and especially Philadelphians—embarked on the risky venture of trading with China by entrusting private citizens with the work of establishing trade and diplomatic relationships with the Chinese. Merchants saw dramatic opportunities to make money, building some of the fortunes that helped expand Philadelphia’s role as a major port and city. To celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary, on March 20, 2026, Independence Seaport Museum (ISM) will open Seeking Profit and Power: Philadelphia, China Trade, and the Making of America, a new exhibition informed by the latest scholarship and featuring approximately 150 unique, rarely seen objects from its collection ranging from ship logs and cargo manifests to examples ...

Monet "Water Lillies" 1897-1899.
NEW YORK, NY.- Claude Monet's Water Lilies (Nymphéas) series of oil paintings depicting his flower garden in Giverny, created during the last 30 years of his life. have now become the inspiration for the just opened intimate Lily Pond eatery in the West Village in Manhattan. Lily Pond owner Michael Della Femina, whose father is advertising guru and Hamptons restaurateur Jerry Della Femina, and his wife Laurie have long been enamored with the Monet masterpieces and their focus on light, color and reflection. This, along with the fond memories of the street Lily Pond in East Hampton near where the Della Femina’s used to have a family summer home, inspired Michael and Laurie to develop Lily Pond as soon as they found the right space. That space is now at 183 West 10th street in the West Village. As Della Femina explains “Lily Pond will be the living room for the neighborhood — a place where you can have a bite, a meal, a coffee, a hot chocolate, a cocktail or mocktail ... More

MADRID.- Visitors to the Prado Museum will soon notice a quieter, more intimate atmosphere when exploring one of the world’s most celebrated collections of art. In an effort to improve the overall visitor experience and ease congestion in its galleries, the Museo Nacional del Prado announced that it will reduce the maximum size of visitor groups from 30 to 20 people. The change, which takes effect immediately, reflects the museum’s ongoing effort to balance its growing popularity with the need to protect both the artworks and the quality of the visit. Groups that were already scheduled under the previous rules will still be honored until June 1, 2026. Museum officials say the measure is designed to create a more comfortable flow of visitors throughout the building. By limiting group size and encouraging tours during quieter periods of the day, the Prado hopes to reduce crowding in its galleries and allow visitors more time and space to engage with the artworks. ...

HONG KONG.- Art Intelligence Global will present “The Uncanny”, an exhibition opening on 21 March 2026 at Art Intelligence Global’s exhibition space in Hong Kong. Coinciding with Art Basel Hong Kong, the exhibition explores how artists render the familiar strangely unsettling. Assembling historic artworks by nine twentieth-century artists, “The Uncanny” interrogates the self as a site where desire, memory, and anxiety converge. At the heart of the exhibition is Yayoi Kusama’s landmark Driving Image (1964-66). Initially exhibited as a three-part series staged at galleries in New York, Milan, and Essen between 1964- 66, key original elements – Infinity Net mannequins, furniture, kitchen crockery – are here reunited. The installation will be displayed alongside original video footage of a performance staged by Kusama in 1967, during which she painted live models in polka dots. Kusama’s household tableau vivant underscores the frequent experience of uncanny ... More
Seth Price, Redistribution [still]. 2007 – 2025, Courtesy the Artist.
LONDON.- Where does art even come from? Nobody knows. Seth Price presents Redistribution 2026–2007 at Sadie Coles HQ, an evolving multimedia project first initiated almost two decades ago as a slide lecture at the Guggenheim Museum. Now in its eleventh edition, the never-finished, constantly updated single-channel video is exhibited in the Kingly Street gallery as a standalone installation for the first time. Each version of Redistribution is unique and re-envisions the iteration that came before. Using the original documentation of his talk Price has manipulated footage through editing, overdubbing and interspersing new and archival content. With each innovation the work has grown, incorporating new themes to form a collaged filmic essay and philosophical inquiry that merges fiction, non-fiction, documentary and performance. Deliberately ambiguous and evolving without narrative or compositional restraint, recent versions of Redistribution have increased in autobiographical ... More
Jacopo Robusti, called Il Tintoretto (Venice 1518–1594), Portrait of a Gentleman, c. 1549–1550, oil on canvas, 63 × 49 cm (24 3/4 × 19 1/4 in.).
MAASTRICHT.- It is well known that each year Maastricht becomes a gathering point for the international art world. Yet the city’s association with exchange and movement long predates the modern fair. Situated on the river Meuse at a crossroads between the Low Countries, the German lands and France, Maastricht developed from the Middle Ages onward as an important centre of trade and circulation. Merchants, travellers and objects passed through its markets and along its river routes, linking the city to a wider European network of commerce and cultural contact. In a different form, the annual meeting of collectors, scholars and dealers at TEFAF continues this long history. For Colnaghi, the fair offers an opportunity to present works shaped by distinct artistic traditions and historical circumstances, bringing together objects whose origins span several centuries and geographies. The presentation ranges from a nineteenth-century Fang reliquary head from Gabon, ... More
VIENNA.- Pleated fabrics, screen prints, abstract geometric forms in the tradition of Classical Modernism, and a fascination for Japanese and African decorative arts make Ursi Fürtler’s (* 1939) artistic work unmistakable. Titled Textile— Abstract, the MAK is, for the first time, dedicating a solo exhibition to this renowned, award-winning Austrian textile artist, which will be opened on her birthday. The exhibition will present a cross-section of her entire oeuvre, ranging from textile designs on paper from the 1970s and 1980s and folding screens to textiles at the intersection of sculptural objects and wearable garments. Fürtler’s most famous pieces include wearable textile objects made from synthetic fiber, silk, and wool, which she began creating in the 1980s. They often play with printed and unprinted sections along the creases of complex pleating arrangements. The pleats are reminiscent of Mariano Fortuny or Issey Miyake. At the same time, the surface design of the textiles ... More
Galileo Chini, Portrait of his Sister Pia, 1892, oil on canvas.
MAMIANO DI TRAVERSETOLO.- Dreams, myths, and mystery take center stage this spring at the Fondazione Magnani-Rocca, where a sweeping exhibition is shining new light on one of the most fascinating yet often overlooked movements in Italian art. Titled “Symbolism in Italy: Origins and developments of a new aesthetic, 1883–1915,” the exhibition opened on March 14 and brings together more than 150 works, including paintings, sculptures, and graphic works, to explore how Italian artists embraced and transformed the Symbolist movement at the turn of the twentieth century.

Visitors encounter the exhibition just steps away from masterpieces in the foundation’s permanent collection by artists such as Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, Titian, Dürer, and Goya—an environment that underscores the international artistic dialogue that helped shape Symb ...

NEW YORK, NY.- The New York Studio School is presenting Touch Me, a solo exhibition of ceramic sculptures by Jenny Lynn McNutt. The most recent sculptures in Touch Me were created during several residencies at Taoxichuan Art Center in Jingdezhen, China, the historic center for porcelain production and present-day creative hub for artists and designers from around the world. Other works were made during residencies at the European Ceramic Center, The Netherlands, Taos, New Mexico and McNutt’s upstate New York studio. McNutt’s sculptures, which have been described as “a nativity of squirms,” express the force, distress, and urgency of biological life today. “The elastic continuum of biological life fascinates me, awe-inspiring as it is,” writes McNutt of these otherworldly, and yet deeply relatable figures. “A preoccupation with the interrelatedness of all life, of mutable boundaries, has been consistent throughout my work. In both my sculpture and ... More

MONTREAL.- The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is hosting The Torlonia Collection: Masterpieces of Roman Sculpture. The final stop on a historic North American tour, this major exhibition brings together 57 lifelike marble sculptures: Roman statues, busts, and sarcophagi; stunning bas-reliefs; mythological creatures; and striking portraits of gods and goddesses, emperors, and their wives. These masterpieces are being shown in Canada for the first time. The Torlonia Collection is one of the most important ensembles of ancient Roman sculptures still in existence. Assembled in the 19th century by the Torlonia family, most notably by prince and banker Alessandro Torlonia (1800–1884), who founded the Museo Torlonia in 1876, the collection rivals the Vatican and Capitoline museums in both ...

Delcy Morelos transforms LOK into a multi-sensory landscape ST. GALLEN.- Delcy Morelos (b. 1967 in Tierralta, Colombia) transforms the LOK by Kunstmuseum St.Gallen into a place that is not only looked at but experienced with all the senses: a spatially expansive, ephemeral installation made of recycled earth, used wood, and fragrance essence. With few materials and an almost black, monochrome palette, she creates an intense environment in which seeing, smelling, and moving operate as equally significant modes of perception. Morelos’s practice is radically focused on material, space, and presence. Rooted in a worldview shaped by the Andean region—and in dialogue with Minimal Art and Conceptual Art—she has developed a distinctive language that moves between drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation. Natural materials function as carriers of time, process, and transience. At the heart of the exhibition ... More

Wilhelm Schürmann explores the meaning of neighborhood in new exhibition at Leopold-Hoesch-Museum DÜREN.- A major retrospective dedicated to German photographer Wilhelm Schürmann has opened at the Leopold-Hoesch-Museum, offering visitors an intimate look at the places, streets, and communities that have shaped the artist’s life and work over the past five decades. Titled “Wilhelm Schürmann. Neighbors,” the exhibition runs from March 1 through May 24, 2026, and brings together early photographs alongside more recent images, tracing how Schürmann’s artistic vision has evolved while remaining rooted in the everyday environments around him. Born in Dortmund in 1946, Schürmann has long been fascinated by the ordinary landscapes of daily life—streets, buildings, and the people who inhabit them. Rather than searching for dramatic subjects, he turns his camera toward the places he knows best: the neighborhoods where he has lived, walked, and observed ... More
