NEW YORK, NY.- kurimanzutto New York presents Lilia Carrillo: Mañana de octubre. The exhibition brings together twenty-five works made between 1948 and 1974 by Lilia Carrillo (Mexico, 1930–1974), tracing her development from early figuration to her explorations of space and material through abstraction, and bringing her distinctive contribution to the movement into sharper focus. Carrillo stood out as the only woman associated with the Generación de la Ruptura, who during the second half of the 20th century transformed the panorama of modern art in Mexico. Through her sensitivity to paint and sustained experimentation with materials, she developed one of the most distinctive approaches to abstraction. The exhibition focuses on Carrillo’s explorations of abstraction, with two early works tracing her transition from figuration. In Autorretrato escolar (School Self-Portrait, 1948), painted while she studied art at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado "La Esmeralda" in Mexico Ci ... More
BILBAO.- The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao presents Dan Flavin: Some Light, an exhibition devoted to the American artist Dan Flavin (b. 1933, Jamaica, New York; d. 1996, Riverhead, New York) and his production from the 1960s through the 1980s. The exhibition takes its title from Flavin’s first solo show of fluorescent light works, held in 1964 at Kaymar gallery in New York. Drawing on the Guggenheim’s holdings of Flavin’s work from the Panza Collection, with key loans from Dia Art Foundation in New York, the presentation follows Flavin from his early fluorescent constructions in white light to the room-scale chromatic installations of his later career. The show is sponsored by Iberdrola. Flavin began to consider electric light as an artistic medium in the summer of 1961, while working as a guard at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Two years later, he affixed an unmodified fluorescent ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Among the most influential figures in postwar American art, Robert Rauschenberg (1925–2008) and John Chamberlain (1927–2011) redefined the boundaries between painting and sculpture through innovative approaches to materials. The artists attended the experimental Black Mountain College in North Carolina, albeit at different times, and emerged from the vibrant artistic milieu of New York in the 1950s. While Rauschenberg became renowned for his Combines, which incorporated everyday objects into compositions that blurred distinctions between artistic mediums, Chamberlain developed a distinctive sculptural language using salvaged automobile parts, transforming crushed and twisted metal into dynamic arrangements of color and form. Both artists found expressive possibilities in the discarded remnants of modern consumer society. The bodies of work presented here ... More
Magnificent Fabergé elephant carved from bowenite, with a tower and saddlecloth in silver-gilt and guilloché enamel, by master goldsmith Michael Perchin – Estimate: CHF 200,000-300,000.
GENEVA.- An exceptional discovery will come under the hammer at Piguet in Geneva on 9 December: the largest Fabergé elephant known to date, an imperial gift dating from the early 20th century. Crafted in hardstone in 1900 on commission from the Russian Imperial Family, this unique piece was presented to James Gordon Bennett Jr., the American press magnate and owner of the New York Herald, most likely through Grand Duke Alexei, brother of Tsar Alexander III. Preserved within the Reuter–Gordon Bennett family for more than 120 years, this imperial elephant will make its first appearance on the art market, marking a world first at Piguet, during a landmark evening auction on Wednesday, 9 December, at 6 p.m. (estimate: CHF 200,000–300,000).

Apollo: Saturn V George C. Marshall Space Flight Center 1/96 Scale Launch Vehicle Model with Original Carrying Case, From the Estate of CBS Executive Robert Wussler.
DALLAS, TX.- The personal collections of Apollo 13 astronaut Fred Haise and CBS News executive Robert Wussler, the man responsible for bringing the road to the moon into millions of living rooms, are coming to auction at Heritage Auctions’ Space Exploration Signature® Auction, Dec. 11–12 in Dallas. Highlights from The Fred Haise Collection include an artifact so special it was directly associated with the critical power-conservation decisions that enabled the Apollo 13 crew’s survival: the Apollo 13: Lunar Module-Flown Systems Data Checklist, personally used by Haise during the Apollo 13 emergency. This manual played a direct role in the extraordinary effort to save Apollo 13 following the explosion of an oxygen tank in the Service Module on April 13, 1970. With the Command and Service Module rapidly losing electrical power, astronauts James Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise were forced to abandon their lunar landing ... More
Man Ray, Cadeau (Gift), flatiron with fourteen tacks (or nails).
PARMA.- An ordinary household iron, fourteen sharp nails and a little glue were all Man Ray needed to create one of the most recognizable objects in twentieth-century art. More than a century after its invention, Cadeau (Gift), the American artist's provocative transformation of an everyday appliance, is among the works featured in Man Ray: Tutto, an exhibition at the Fondazione Magnani-Rocca's Villa dei Capolavori, near Parma, on view through December 13, 2026. The work dates back to December 3, 1921, when Man Ray, then thirty-one, was preparing to open his first European exhibition. Having arrived in Paris less than five months earlier, he was already establishing connections with the city's avant-garde. His exhibition at Librairie Six, the bookstore-gallery operated by Dadaist writer Philippe Soupault, was accompanied by a small catalog featuring contributions from Louis Aragon, Jean Arp, Paul Éluard, Max Ernst and Tristan Tzara. According to the artist's memoirs, the inspiration for Cadeau ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- The New Museum today announced a major gift from the estate of Richard Hambleton, which at the late artist’s request will support arts education programs for young people. A longtime Lower East Side resident and advocate for New York’s artistic community, this generous gift will expand access to contemporary art, creative learning, and art-making resources for the next generation of museum audiences across New York City and beyond. A central figure of New York’s downtown art scene, Richard Hambleton was a conceptual artist who lived and worked in Manhattan from the late 1970s until his death in 2017. Hambleton was best known for his street art, particularly his spontaneously placed graffiti works with imagery reminiscent of crime scenes, from silhouettes of exploding men to chalk-body outlines, peppered across Manhattan. At the New Museum, his work was featured in the landmark 2004 exhibition East Village USA, which recounted ... More

Banksy (b. 1974), Rat & Heart, 2015. Spray paint and emulsion on cut-out canvas, in artist's frame, 9-7/8 x 11-7/8 in.
DALLAS, TX.- Banksy’s Rat & Heart brought $387,500 to lead Heritage’s Nov. 10 Modern & Contemporary Art Signature® Auction, which realized $4.7 million. Major results spanned painting, sculpture and works on paper. “The results reflect the range of this auction, with collectors responding to distinctive works across very different artistic traditions,” says Frank Hettig, Heritage’s Vice President of Contemporary Art. “From Banksy’s instantly recognizable imagery to Valdés’s monumental sculpture and LeWitt’s exuberant brushwork, the leading lots offered compelling examples of each artist’s approach.” Executed in spray paint and emulsion on cut-out canvas and presented in the artist’s frame, Banksy’s Rat & Heart (2015) pairs two recurring motifs in his work. The intimate composition is signed and bears the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament peace symbol on its backing board, a mark the artist has used on personal gifts. ... More
Katsushika Hokusai, A Journey to the Waterfalls in All the Provinces: Pilgrims at Roben Waterfall, 1832. Woodblock Print; Ink and Color on Paper, 15 1/8 x 10 3/8 in. (38.4 x 26.3 cm.).
NEW YORK, NY.- “But when one was born down there, it is of no use; nothing else seems to mean anything.” – Paul Cézanne (1839–1906), letter to Philippe Solari, Talloires, July 1896 Cézanne wrote these lines in the summer of 1896 from the shore of Lake Annecy, in the French Alps. The scenery was spectacular, and he admitted as much. But it was not Provence. He painted the lake anyway, in a series of watercolors that leave most of the paper bare, so that the water is little more than the white of the page. One of them, Coin du Lac d’Annecy, hangs in this exhibition. Fifteen years after it was made, it crossed the Atlantic for Cézanne’s first solo exhibition in America, at Alfred Stieglitz’s gallery 291. A landscape is never painted from nowhere. Every artist arrives at the land already carrying another one, whether a birthplace, a faith, a memory, or a fear, and the work is shaped as much by ... More
Darth Vader's Screen-Matched Hero Dueling Lightsaber from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983).
DALLAS, TX.- The Force has reached a new high at Heritage Auctions. Darth Vader’s screen-matched hero dueling lightsaber from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983) just sold for $4,875,000, establishing a world auction record for any Star Wars collectible. The result surpasses by $1 million the previous overall record of $3,875,000, which Heritage achieved with Tom Jung’s original half-sheet key poster painting for Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope. It also establishes a new auction record for a screen-used Star Wars prop, exceeding Heritage’s $3,750,000 sale of Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber and severed hand effects rig on July 15, 2026. Vader’s weapon is a remarkable counterpart to that Skywalker lightsaber: Both were used in the unforgettable Cloud City confrontation in The Empire Strikes Back, the duel that culminated in Vader’s revelation and changed the course of the saga. ...

OSLO.- Material Shifts is a major international group exhibition that looks at sculpture as an act of translation. Traditionally, the notion of sculpture recalls a stable object rendered in a robust material: something frozen in time and space. Still, sculptural practices have always also retained a notion of “material shifts”: from mold to cast, from sketch to three-dimensional form, or from idea to physical realization. The works on view span conceptually driven pieces, material explorations, space-activating installations, and repurposed objects, mapping a field made vital through translation. The idea of “translation” connects otherwise distinct, singular practices moving between media, materials, languages and ideas: for some, translation becomes an act of transformation—a remaking of one thing into something materially or conceptually different. For others, it is a matter of transition, a more gradual shift from one form or thought into ... More

Exhibition at Kikuchi Kanjitsu Memorial Tomo Museum explores Hisako Sekijima's four decades of conceptual basketry art TOKYO.- Hisako Sekijima (b. 1944) makes basketry works using plant materials. Basketry refers both to the techniques used to make baskets and to the objects made with them. Although Sekijima's works are baskets, they are not intended to hold anything. Sekijima focuses on the principles of interlacing, giving form to her ideas about basic fabricating methods such as twining, knotting, plaiting, and warp/weft weaving; the varied properties of plant materials; and the forms that emerge from combining materials and techniques. In Sekijima's case, the work is not simply the finished object but the thinking behind it: a process in which questions and hypotheses lead to discoveries and further ideas. A key part of her work's appeal lies in the clarity ... More

Swedish National Portrait Gallery unveils Niklas Asker's portrait of Herbert Blomstedt STOCKHOLM.- The 2026 Portrait of Honour depicts the conductor Herbert Blomstedt and was painted by the artist Niklas Asker. The Portrait of Honour becomes part of the collection at the Swedish National Portrait Gallery and will be unveiled at Gripsholm Castle on 21 November. We have recently learnt that Herbert Blomstedt has passed away, aged 99. Earlier this year, Blomstedt was chosen as the subject for this year’s Portrait of Honour. He and the artist Niklas Asker met at the start of the summer, and the portrait was completed during the autumn. It is gratifying that one of our greatest and most beloved musicians of all time has now been given a place in in the Swedish National Portrait Gallery, says Patrick Amsellem, Director General of Nationalmuseum. Herbert Blomstedt became Sweden’s most successful conductor of all time. His career spanned seven ... More
Mudam Luxembourg stages first major institutional exhibition dedicated to Ana Vaz LUXEMBOURG.- Mudam Luxembourg – Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean stages the first major institutional exhibition dedicated to Brazilian artist and filmmaker Ana Vaz. For over a decade, Ana Vaz (b. 1986, Brasília) has developed a practice that cuts across disciplinary boundaries, placing cinema and visual arts in dialogue with fields such as anthropology, ecology, philosophy and critical pedagogy. Her films and installations engage with urgent questions of our time, from the enduring legacies of colonial modernity to environmental devastation, tracing their entanglement and their lasting effects on territories and their communities, whether human, animal, vegetal or spectral. In each of her works, she pays particular attention to the scars, ghosts and silenced stories that inhabit these territories, as well as the forms of resistance and resilience that arise ... More
Elektrohalle Rhomberg presents new oil paintings by Adelheid Rumetshofer SALZBURG.- What remains when form dissolves? When color ceases to be surface and begins to become space? In her exhibition The Space Between, Adelheid Rumetshofer explores those elusive states between visibility and dissolution, proximity and distance, presence and absence. Her painting operates at the threshold of perception. Resisting clear categorisation, it opens up a space in which the very act of seeing becomes the subject of contemplation. For her exhibition at Elektrohalle Rhomberg, the artist has created a series of eight new, large-scale oil paintings. The works, which may be understood as a kind of portal, reveal diffuse, seemingly suspended fields of color whose contours resist definition. Dark, concentrated centers dissolve almost imperceptibly into luminous, translucent edges. What initially appears to be a spatial opening may, in the next ... More
National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art hosts 'Handmade AI' symposium SEOUL.- Artificial intelligence (AI) converts human language, images, and creative works into data and processes that data. It is no longer a mere technological tool and is now deeply involved in how we apprehend and experience the world. Amid this change, “handmade” as direct making by human hands seems at first glance to conflict with artificial intelligence. Yet it is still up to humans to choose and use technology and to give meaning to its results. What, then, does it mean to “make by hand” in the age of digital technology? Beyond using AI as a tool for creation, can we grant AI decision-making authority or autonomy in creation? Furthermore, can we recognize AI as an entity with rights and responsibilities? These questions go beyond the issue of who the subject of creation is and lead to new thinking about the relationship between humans and ... More
Group exhibition at Kolumba explores how social norms shape everyday life COLOGNE.- It might be that you wake up one day and can’t find the energy to get out of bed. Perhaps you only break your right arm, forcing you to learn to use your left hand. Or you might fall in love. Everyday life fades in significance, while your gaze softens and familiar places reveal themselves to you in a new light. These thought experiments demonstrate that we often only start to think about norms and normality when they no longer apply. The norms addressed in our exhibition are created by people—they are collective agreements. Formal norms are encoded in laws or regulations and in the best-case scenario are democratically negotiated and communicated. Social norms differ in that they arise from unwritten conventions governing human coexistence. They are formed from habits, traditions and social structures and are passed on (e.g. through upbringing ... More

On a day like today, French painter Claude Monet was born
November 14, 1840. Oscar-Claude Monet (14 November 1840 - 5 December 1926) was a French painter and founder of Impressionism who is seen as a key precursor to modernism, especially in his attempts to paint nature as he perceived it. During his long career, he was the most consistent and prolific practitioner of Impressionism's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions of nature, especially as applied to plein air (outdoor) landscape painting. The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant), which was exhibited in 1874 at the First Impressionist Exhibition, initiated by Monet and a number of like-minded artists as an alternative to the Salon.
