FRANKFURT.- Running from June 11 to September 20, 2026, the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt’s major summer exhibition features artworks that explore the cognitive, psychological, political, and ecological dimensions of artificial intelligence (AI). AI technologies are fundamentally changing how images are created, processed, disseminated, described, and viewed. Their influence on visual culture and contemporary art practice is one of the most visible manifestations of AI, which is governed by opaque technical processes. The wide-ranging, thematically organized exhibition will occupy both of the Schirn’s spaces with around forty works from the past ten years to the present, including video installations, graphic works, sculptures, photographs, and several new works produced specifically for the exhibition. The Schirn will host around thirty international artists, including Nora Al-Badri, Nouf Aljowaysir, Julian Charrière, Grégory Chatonsky, Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler, Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst ...

NEW YORK, NY.- DC Moore Gallery announced that Duane Michals passed away on June 9, 2026. He was 94 years old. One of the most influential photographic innovators of the 20th century, Michals is widely celebrated for his work with sequences, multiple exposures, and text. Michals first made significant, creative strides in the field of photography during the 1960s. In an era heavily influenced by photojournalism and Henri Cartier-Bresson’s "decisive moment,” Michals manipulated the medium to communicate narratives. Rather than seeking to reproduce reality, he was interested in the expression of interior worlds, dreams, and metaphysical questions. He began staging photograph sequences, appropriating cinema’s frame-by-frame format. Michals also incorporated text as a key component in his works, writing directly on the printed photograph. Rather than serving a didactic or explanatory function, his handwritten text adds another dimension to the images’ meaning and gives voice to Michal ... More

DENVER, PA.- A 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card and a circa-1893 W Britains Germanic boxed set of royal fusilier soldiers brought identical selling prices of $51,660 to share top lot honors in Morphy’s Toys & General Collectibles auction held June 2nd and 3rd. The sale was packed with 1,362 lots of rare and desirable antique and vintage toys and totaled more than $1.8 million. “We broke records in the soldier, marble and lunchbox categories,” said Dan Morphy, the owner and principal auctioneer of Morphy Auctions. “Bidders weren’t shy about going after what they wanted to add to their collections.” The 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card, an absolute must-have for serious sports memorabilia collectors, was a recent find from a 50-year collection and had not yet been submitted for grading. However, the card displayed well, with strong color and corners, and the centering was fantastic for a Mantle card from this elusive year of production. The selling price of $51,6 ... More

LONDON.- To celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of iconic Suffolk-born artist John Constable, Burgh House is delighted to present John Constable in Hampstead, a new exhibition exploring the artist’s profound connection to Hampstead Heath and the surrounding area where he lived and worked for almost twenty years. Opening on 11th June, the anniversary of Constable’s birth, John Constable in Hampstead brings together key works from the artist’s Hampstead years, revealing how the area became both a creative inspiration and a refuge from London life. Through rarely seen paintings, mezzotints, portraits, and personal letters, this exhibition traces Constable’s deep engagement with the landscape, weather, and people of Hampstead during a pivotal and deeply personal period in his life. Constable first came to Hampstead in 1819 with his wife, Maria Bicknell, whose worsening tuberculosis prompted the family to seek the healthier air of the Heath. The Constables later settled ... More

DALLAS, TX.- If there were still skeptics about the possibility of a multimillion-dollar pulp collection after Heritage Auctions’ first pulp Signature Auction in December 2025, the record-setting results ofthe June 5–6 Pulp Magazines Signature® Auction should erase their doubts.

BASEL.- Labouring Bodies explores the complex relationship between body and technology from a feminist perspective. The group exhibition shows how the human body – and especially the female body – has been shaped and controlled by machines since the dawn of the modern age. With a focus on working, caring, and birthing bodies, which have often remained invisible and been systematically overlooked, the exhibition examines the intertwining of industrial production and biological reproduction – a link reflected in the double meaning of the word ‘labour’ in the title. From 10 June to 8 November 2026, the Museum Tinguely offers an opportunity to rediscover artworks from a period stretching back more than a century and to consider key social issues around the body, labour and care: What influence ...

Mounir Raji, Kunstmuseum Den Haag, Untitled 1, Photography printed on fine art paper, 2026.
THE HAGUE.- Ninety years after Escher’s last visit to the Alhambra in Granada, Escher in The Palace presents a special exhibition linking his fascination with Islamic patterns to contemporary art. Escher & Islamic Art: 20 Perspectives focuses not only on the influence of the famous Spanish palace complex on Escher, but also on the way Islamic cultural heritage continues to inspire artists to this day. Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898–1972) became world-famous for his intriguing prints, in which he plays with perspective, space and repetition. His seemingly logical worlds turn out, on closer inspection, to be impossible, whilst his characteristic tessellations (patterns in which shapes fit together seamlessly and repeat endlessly) form a unique visual language at the intersection of art and mathematics. This combination ensures that his work remains influential to this day, even far beyond the art world, including in education and in the development of films and ... More
Paulo Nazareth, King Otumfuo Osei Agyeman Prempeh II, 2026, efun on photo printing on tree trunk, 51.5 x 13 x 12 cm.
PARIS.- There is a body that traverses territories, carrying the traces of worlds cut short. A body that moves through colonial ruins, borders, family memories, and ancestral spiritualities. As it walks, it reveals stories buried by slavery, the genocide of Indigenous peoples, forced migration, and the systematic erasure of Black and Indigenous identities in the Americas. In IMPASSE, Paulo Nazareth constructs a cartography of traumatic memory and resistance. His work emerges from movement – physical, symbolic, political, and spiritual – transforming displacement into a method of artistic production and critical thought. IMPASSE is a territory of suspension where objects cease to function as representations and become testimonies. Each work functions simultaneously as an archaeological vestige, a political document, and a ritual of survival. Through fractures, tensions, and approximations, Nazareth reveals ... More

Robert Oxnam's driftwood sculptures and macro photography to go on display in New York NEW YORK, NY.- Alisan Fine Arts New York is presenting an exhibition of Robert Oxnam’s sculpture and photography. Featured in the 2025 Finding Qi exhibition, this body of work was curated by Amei Wallach and Vishakha Desai at the East End Arts Council. Gallery founder, Alice King, had a long-standing relationship with both the artist and his wife, Vishakha Desai. A portion of the proceeds from this exhibition will be donated to the Asia Society New York. A scholar by training and a non-profit leader by profession, Robert Oxnam discovered his artistic practice almost by chance. Walking the beaches of the Long Island Sound, he noticed fragments of weathered wood—washed up on the shore by currents, half-buried under sand and wedged between rocks, carved from sea water, climate, and insects. Oxnam collected these gnarled, irregular shards, ... More
International artists reimagine security through poetry, solidarity and collective care OLDENBURG.- Poems of Unrest is an international group exhibition based on the fifth edition of the OFF-Biennale Budapest. As the biggest independent art institution in Hungary since its founding in 2015, OFF-Biennale aims to strengthen the country’s independent art scene and to contribute to public discourse on social, political, and environmental issues, with the intention of promoting a culture of democracy through art. OFF 2025 addressed questions of safety and security. Right-wing ideologues and politicians seem to be capitalizing on these existential concerns by reducing them to notions of militarization, and fearmongering, while attempting to scapegoat minorities and people with migratory backgrounds. In this climate, Poems of Unrest seeks to contribute to the discourse surrounding safety and security by introducing new approaches and techniques ... More

Ymane Chabi-Gara explores anxiety, confinement and memory in new exhibition at Mennour PARIS.- The highest level of anxiety sums up the feelings Ymane Chabi-Gara expresses in her paintings. Obsessively she represents enduring modes of confinement, whether voluntary or not. For her first paintings, she immersed herself in the world of hikikomori, those young Japanese people who live in their rooms, completely withdrawn from society. Their daily life is beset by various forms of social anxiety, filled with digital hyper-connection and haunted by fear of failure. Some time after, her practice opened to lighter images of landscapes prompting her pictorial technique to evolve. In a new way in her practice, she began working in wash drawing in extremely structured compositions involving the use of Sellotape. Later on, the darkness of the contemporary world and of the human spirit resurfaced in her painting. In this exhibition, she confronts herself ... More

A lifelong New Orleanian, Lemann was a codebreaker in the Second World War and a noted Louisiana lawyer. He pursued a deeply intellectual life as a bibliophile, traveler, and art collector.
