WASHINGTON, DC.- This year, The Textile Museum celebrates its centennial, as well as a decade since it reopened as The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum on the university's Foggy Bottom campus. Founded in 1925 by George Hewitt Myers (1875-1957), The Textile Museum was originally housed in two historic buildings in D.C.'s Kalorama neighborhood. Two concurrent exhibitions illustrate the museum's dual role as a world leader in the study and appreciation of textiles, as well as a 21st-century laboratory for students, faculty, artists, and scholars to engage with the collection in new ways. "The museum’s vision is to inspire and engage communities by celebrating the creative achievements of local and global cultures across time," says John Wetenhall, director, The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum. "This is the latest in our series of exhibitions that demonstrate the deep and dynamic engage ... More
Max Oppenheimer, Portrait of Sidney W. Brown, 1917. Museum Langmatt, Stiftung Sidney and Jenny Brown, Baden, Switzerland.
VIENNA.- The Belvedere’s exhibition of more than sixty works from the Museum Langmatt in Baden near Zurich showcases one of the most important private collections of French Impressionism in Europe. General Director Stella Rollig: Jenny and Sidney Brown were creating their collection at the same time as international acquisitions were being made for the Modern Gallery in Vienna, the predecessor institution of the Belvedere, thereby adding a core collection of Impressionist art to the museum’s holdings. It is therefore a particular pleasure that the Belvedere was one of only three international museums selected to display the treasures of Langmatt while the Swiss museum is being renovated. Jenny and Sidney Brown started building up their ... More
Per Kirkeby, “Untitled”, 2006. Tempera on linen, 78 3/4 x 98 1/2 inches (200 x 250 cm).
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF.- Michael Werner Gallery, Beverly Hills is presenting Per Kirkeby: Natures Mortes, an exhibition of still life paintings by the eminent Danish painter, sculptor, filmmaker, and author, Per Kirkeby (b. 1938 in Copenhagen, d. 2018 in Copenhagen). In the 1980s, as Per Kirkeby’s international reputation grew, he encountered an artistic crisis and turned to the tradition of historic Northern European painting as a way forward. In 1983, he created a monumental masterpiece titled Fram, now in the collection of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. The work was inspired by the accounts of Norwegian polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen (1861–1930) and his iconic ship named Fram, which translates to “forward” or “advance” in Nordic languages. In the painting, ... More

The carved head, with its stern expression, incised teeth, and elaborate headdress, is believed to have adorned ceremonial ... More
Eadweard J. Muybridge (English, 1830–1904), Bradley & Rulofson, Ancient Glacier Channel. Lake Tenaya. Sierra Nevada Mountains., 1872. Albumen silver print. George Eastman Museum, gift of Harvard University, 1961.
ROCHESTER, NY.- The George Eastman Museum is presenting the new exhibition Building a Sustainable Future, on display August 30 through November 9, in the museum’s Potter Peristyle. Visitors have the opportunity to take a peek behind the scenes and explore the ways in which museum staff work to balance preservation and access with implementing climate-aware and environmentally sustainable solutions. As a leader in the preservation and conservation of photography and moving image artifacts, the George Eastman Museum needs to maintain suitable conditions for the storage and display of its collection objects. The museum’s staff seeks to better understand the environmental and climate effects of the museum’s work by considering: • How does the institution’s energy consumption and creation of waste ... More
BERLIN.- Helga Paris documented everyday life with a quiet eye. Her empathy and unwavering curiosity allowed her to connect deeply with the people and settings she photographed. She always approached her subjects with profound respect — whether strangers, acquaintances, or those she encountered by chance. Her pictures go beyond merely documenting a vanished GDR; they are intimate portraits of dignity, connection, and lived experience. Fotografiska Berlin is presenting für uns, the first large-scale exhibition of the photographer’s work since her passing on February 5, 2024 at the age of 85. The exhibition, curated by Marina Paulenka, Director of Exhibitions at Fotografiska Berlin and Udo Kittelmann, the long- time director of the Nationalgalerie Berlin, pays comprehensive tribute to Paris’ work while tracing her lasting influence. “This exhibition is not merely a retrospective. It is an act of remembrance, of solidarity, and of gratitude for ... More

WASHINGTON, DC.- The story of prehistoric ocean life that emerged in the South Atlantic Ocean between the Americas and Africa 72 to 87 million years ago is explored in a new traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian. Created by the National Museum of Natural History and organized for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, the exhibition opened Sept. 27 at Turtle Bay Museum in Redding, California. It will remain on view through Jan. 11, 2026, before continuing on a national tour through 2028. “Sea Monsters Unearthed” showcases fossils from the earliest invasion of the South Atlantic by marine lizards and sea turtles, as well as an extraordinary excavation site in Angola that fills in a missing chapter in Earth’s history. The exhibition features a full skeleton of a 23-foot mosasaur and other mosasaur species. Photomurals and video vignettes will transport visitors to field sites along Angola’s ... More
ATHENS.- Gagosian will present Return to the Garden, an exhibition of new and recent paintings by Stanley Whitney, opening at the Athens gallery on October 2, 2025. This is Whitney’s first exhibition in Greece since his participation in Documenta 14 in 2017. The exhibition’s title, Return to the Garden, evokes themes of arcadian innocence and harmony with nature. Unencumbered by preconceived subjects or narrative elements, these vibrant abstractions offer viewers the opportunity to engage with a heightened awareness of color and perception. Whitney asserts the power of color through loose grids of roughly rectangular shapes, creating compositions of three or four rows separated by horizontal bands that traverse the canvas. Characterized by active brushwork, layered pigment, and jostling borders, each field is defined in relation to its neighbors and to each painting ... More
Art of Manga, de Young, 2025. Photo: Gary Sexton.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Japanese comics and graphic novels, known as manga, have become a beloved global phenomenon. Yet until now, there has not been a major exhibition on the art of manga in North America. Featuring rarely displayed genga (original drawings) by 10 major artists, Art of Manga – the first large-scale manga art exhibition in North America – presents manga from the 1970s to today. The artists explore themes across genres, from friendship to sexuality to the human condition. Looking closely at each artist’s narrative worlds and creative processes, the exhibition also spotlights manga’s cultural impact on the world today and possibilities for the future. Individual sections are dedicated to the work of artists Araki Hirohiko, Oda Eiichiro, Tagame Gengoroh, Takahashi Rumiko, Taniguchi Jirō, Yamashita Kazumi, Yamazaki Mari, and Yoshinaga Fumi, and the exhibition begins with works by Akatsuka Fujio and Chiba Tetsuya. The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco ... More
LONDON.- At the 2025 edition of Frieze Sculpture, Pace Gallery presents Elmgreen & Dragset’s Life Rings, Fig. 3/2023, a large-scale work that takes a typically singular, reusable, lightweight, and often weathered emergency tool and multiplies it into absurdity. In this impossible-seeming tower configuration, the rings appear to have mushroomed upward toward the sky. Each ring is connected to the next, forming a structure that resembles a chain-link system. Elmgreen & Dragset are known for making sculptures that transform everyday or inconspicuous objects in ways that shift their perceived value. Here, the life ring—usually made of basic materials like plastic or foam—is instead rendered in stainless steel, changing its materiality and thereby elevating it to a higher status associated with permanence, art, and architecture. The sculpture, climbing over four meters tall, becomes ... More
Jan van Heel [1898-1990], Clown’s head, 1952, Gouache on paper, Kunstmuseum Den Haag.
THE HAGUE.- In the 1950’s, a uniquely innovative and experimental art movement began to flourish in The Hague: the New Hague School. Inspired by the motto ‘Freedom above all, the artists who were active in this movement between 1945 and 1975 rejected the respectable image of their predecessors in the Hague School. The New Hague School artists’ work is characterised by an exuberant use of colour. They expressed themselves in many ways, including abstract, non-figurative and modern figurative art. With this small exhibition – which marks the release of the publication by the same name, The New Hague School, 1945-1975, Freedom above all (2025, WBooks) by Saskia Gras – the Kunstmuseum hopes to draw renewed attention to a dynamic period in art history. The exhibition focuses on the diversity that existed in the postwar artistic community in The Hague, with particular attention to works by artists who tended to be overlooked at the time, including Jenny Dalenoord, Jan van Heel, ...

Nadav Kander Untitled XII (Chalk Quarry), England, 2015. Archival Inkjet Print, 180 x 81 cm. 70 7/8 x 31 7/8 in. Edition of 5 plus 2 artist's proofs.
LONDON.- Flowers Gallery is presenting ‘Nadav Kander: After Dark’, a solo exhibition bringing together three bodies of work by renowned London- based photographer, artist, and director, Nadav Kander, on view from 5 September until 11 October, 2025. Widely recognised for his portraiture and large-format landscapes, Nadav Kander presents both familiar pieces and unseen works from his series Dark Line – The Thames Estuary and Colour Fields, alongside two photographic etchings from a new body of work titled Treow (Trust and Promise), shown here for the first time. Kander’s distinctive approach blurs the boundaries between documentation and introspection, engaging with photography as both an exploration of the world around us and a map to inner landscapes. It invites viewers to pause in the space between what is felt and what is seen. In Dark Line – The Thames Estuary, Kander turns his lens to the slow- moving, dark waters of the Thames ... More
FRANKFURT.- The Philippines – a country made up of thousands of islands and over 130 languages – is an archipelago of many voices and identities. Change and resilience lie at the heart of Philippine life, shaped by faith and community, a complex history of colonisation and resistance, the richness of Indigenous cultures and the experiences of a global diaspora. These conditions have given rise to a dynamic and diverse photographic practice that oscillates between the politics of the image and the poetry of new worlds beyond the seemingly predetermined. Consequently, Philippine photography is as multifaceted as the country itself: constantly changing in form and meaning. From a global perspective, it addresses the consequences of migration and globalisation, reflects on environmental awareness in the context of the archipelago and, at the same time, questions the potential and limitations of the medium itself. New Beginnings: Philippine Photographic Art showcases the work of eight artists ... More

Fridericianum presents Portia Zvavahera KASSEL.- For over two decades now, artist Portia Zvavahera, who was born in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1985, has been creating a deeply personal and emotionally charged body of work. These works draw their inspiration from dreams, spiritual experiences, and a pictorial tradition marked, amongst other things, by Zimbabwean culture as well as religious iconography. They are characterized by their use of luminous color, complex layering of figures and patterns, and their dovetailing of different techniques—one that includes block printing and gestural painting. Her works often depict ghostly figures—sometimes isolated, sometimes in pairs or groups—captured in moments of transformation, ecstasy or inner struggle. These figures appear in richly textured compositions that blur the borders between the spiritual and the physical, the dream-like and the tangible. The force field between ... More
Portland Art Museum announces major gift to endow museum's top position PORTLAND, ORE.- The Portland Art Museum announced a major endowment from the late Arlene Schnitzer and the Schnitzer family on Friday evening that includes the naming of its Director position, currently held by Brian Ferriso, as the Arlene & Harold Schnitzer Director. The Schnitzer family, led by Arlene Schnitzer, contributed $13.5 million to the Museum’s Connection Campaign—the largest ever from an individual donor in the Museum’s 132-year history. “I am pleased to be the first Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Director at the Portland Art Museum,” said Portland Art Museum Director Brian Ferriso. “The Schnitzer family has made extraordinary contributions as leaders and donors to this institution as well as arts organizations throughout Oregon and across the country.” Long known for their leadership in sustaining and growing Portland’s cultural sphere, the ...

Reflex Amsterdam presents Lucienne O'Mara's first solo exhibition in the Netherlands AMSTERDAM.- The exhibition marks the beginning of a new collaboration between the gallery and O'Mara, who is known for her powerful paintings in which texture and emotion are in constant interplay. Lucienne O'Mara (London, 1989) paints in an abstract visual language where grids offer both structure and disruption. In her work, distance becomes soft, time is layered, and fixed patterns give way to emotion and intuition. Her paintings invite a different way of seeing, one in which the familiar slowly dissolves and space opens up for imagination and wonder. “The American artist Agnes Martin (1912–2004) once showed a rose to her friend’s granddaughter and asked: ‘Is this rose beautiful?’ Then she hid the rose behind her back and asked again: ‘Is the rose still beautiful?’ You see! Beauty exists in the mind, not in the rose.” — Lucienne O'Mara Reflex Amsterdam ... More
Z33, House for Contemporary Art, Design & Architecture opens exhibition by Mounir Eddib HASSELT.- In Taliswoman, artist Mounir Eddib invites us to descend into a layered landscape of memory and myth. The exhibition reimagines the coal mines of Genk not as a closed industrial chapter, but as haunted sites filled with stories from the past that have yet to be told. As the grandson of a miner who arrived in Belgium in the 1970s as a so-called “guest worker,” and born to Moroccan parents from the Western Saharan borderlands, Eddib’s art is deeply connected to histories of migration and labor that continue to shape the region. While official accounts of the mines have often foregrounded economic development, Eddib looks elsewhere—to the unseen, the mystical, the intimate. Taliswoman highlights the strength and significance of feminized spaces and practices, such as protective folk rituals carried out at home by women from ethnic and Muslim minorities. However, ...

Karol Palczak's poetic portraits of Krzywcza unveiled in Zürich ZURICH.- Dzisiaj at Kunsthalle Zürich is the first institutional solo presentation by the Polish artist Karol Palczak. The exhibition features a new series of oil paintings on aluminium and marble connected to the artist's home village of Krzywcza in south-eastern Poland and the surrounding landscape. For over ten years now, Palczak has been creating works devoted to his immediate environment, studying the area meticulously. Dotted with mountains and valleys, this Subcarpathian region, once inhabited by Jewish, Christian Orthodox and Catholic communities, is now marked by a sense of emptiness and stillness. Palczak's works – still lifes, landscapes and scenes featuring recurring protagonists – reveal mostly overlooked details in the economically strained, increasingly depopulated and militarised environment of his native Krzywcza. The banks of the San ... More
North Norwegian Art Centre presents Seven times the color of the sun SVOLVÆR .- North Norwegian Art Centre announced Seven times the color of the sun. The exhibition is the second chapter of Solar Kin, a long-term curatorial project that follows artistic explorations of post-carbon imaginaries in the context of the global transition from fossil fuels to renewables, particularly solar energy. The exhibition takes as its point of departure a Mayan creation myth: after several unsuccessful attempts to craft humans from different materials, the gods shaped them from sunlight. The beings that emerged were described as “seven times the colour of the sun”. Radiant, skilled, and powerful, they placed themselves above other species and natural processes, as if the very light that gave them form had become a source of blindness rather than vision. The project draws on this image to consider humanity’s place and responsibility today. The first chapter, ... More
Daniel Spoerri's radical oeuvre revisited at Deichtorhallen in Hamburg HAMBURG.- The exhibition I LIKE Contradictions at the Falckenberg Collection offers a fresh perspective on the work of Daniel Spoerri (1930–2024) and the enduring relevance of his artistic thinking. After his first career as a classical dancer, Spoerri co-founded the Nouveau Réalistes group in Paris in 1960 together with Yves Klein, Jean Tinguely, and other fellow artists, becoming a defining figure of object art. Spoerri rose to fame with his snare-pictures (Fallenbilder), in which he glued down fleeting everyday scenes – remnants of a feast with plates, glasses, and food scraps – turning them into assemblages and, in a playful yet subversive way, elevating them to art – or anti-art. This exhibition, the last one developed in close consultation with Harald Falckenberg, presents a comprehensive overview of Spoerri’s work from 1959 to 2018, including lesser-known series, ... More
Kunsthalle zu Kiel presents Maruša Sagadin installation in city centre KIEL.- For its second pop-up project, the Kunsthalle zu Kiel brings the feminist practice of Maruša Sagadin to the heart of Kiel's city centre, installing a newly commissioned site-specific work by the Viennese artist in the historic Alter Markt square. Located between Holstenstraße and Dänische Straße, the Alter Markt is surrounded by the few historic buildings that survived the Second World War. Since the early 1970s, the square has been dominated by a series of divisive ‘pavilions’, designed by the postwar architect Wilhelm Neveling (1908–1978) to house shops and restaurants. Here, the city's medieval history, now barely discernible, meets the contradictions of present-day commerce, with Neveling’s pavilions subject to ever-increasing rates of vacancy and disuse. Sagadin’s new work is composed of a modular metal structure that subtly references the structural elements and ... More
ArtCenter presents Vanitas: The Palermo Portraits - A new exhibition of work by artist and alumnus Matthew Rolston PASADENA, CA.- ArtCenter College of Design announces Vanitas: The Palermo Portraits, a site-specific installation debuting a significant triptych from artist and alumnus Matthew Rolston’s most recent series of compelling photographic images. On view in ArtCenter’s South Campus Oculus Space – at the apex of the new Mullin Transportation Design Center – the exhibition is conceived of as not just an homage to the accomplished mid-career artist, but also as the introduction of an evocative new body of work, one that addresses intertwined narratives of human existence, beauty and the grotesque, and the power of art to connect with the beyond. Triptych in the Style of an Altarpiece, Palermo, 2013, the focus of the exhibition, rises from the more ... More

Golden Thread Gallery and Arsenal Gallery presents Oskar Dawicki and Hubert Zemler: TOURNIQUET BELFAST.- A performance unfolding through the encounter of two artists, each rooted in distinct realms and media: the visual arts and music. Together, they will seek to open a space of inquiry, asking: –Can a crowd become a community? At what point does a gathering begin to embody a collective spirit? –Does taking away of a name erode our humanity? –What force lies within names, and how do they shape our existence? –And what if, upon entering the gallery, we were to surrender our subjectivity, becoming objects, the very material of art itself? –Would it feel like a threat, or might the dissolution of identity reveal itself as a form of delight? Oskar Dawicki (born 1971)—performer, creator of video works, photographs, installations and objects. In 1996, he graduated in painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, where, ... More
On a day like today, Italian painter Tintoretto was born
May 29, 1518. Tintoretto (September 29, 1518 - May 31, 1594), real name Jacopo Comin, was a Venetian painter and a notable exponent of the Renaissance school. For his phenomenal energy in painting he was termed Il Furioso. His work is characterized by its muscular figures, dramatic gestures and bold use of perspective in the Mannerist style, while maintaining color and light typical of the Venetian School. In this image: A man looks at 'The Coronation of the Virgin, The Paradise' a painting by 16th century Venetian artist Tintoretto, on display at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Wednesday, June 7, 2006.
