LONDON.- From 9 October to 12 December 2025, Ordovas presents Dialogues, an exhibition exploring the influence of non- Western art on 20th and 21st century movements; a topic about which opinions have been tested, revised and expanded over recent decades. Juxtaposing major works of Western art with those from Africa and Oceania, the exhibition looks back to the turn of the 20th century when artists including Ernst, Giacometti and Picasso first encountered masks and sculptures from these areas. The works provoked deep curiosity and appreciation, and inspired them and their contemporaries to pioneer a new movement in art. A selection of contemporary works reflects the inspiration and the conversations that the study and appreciation of African and Oceanic art continue to encourage to this day. Leading highlights include an important Eastern Iatmul figure from Papua New Guinea on loan from the Fondation Beyeler; a portrait executed by Pablo P ... More

Graciela Iturbide, X-Ray of a Bird | Rayos-X de pajaro, 1999.
NEW YORK, NY.- When the French poet and theorist André Breton published his Surrealist Manifesto in 1924, he established a new artistic vision that tapped into the most electrifying dimensions of the human imagination. Continuing the centennial moment, Throckmorton Fine Art is presenting an exhibition showcasing the wide-reaching impact of Surrealism on photography with 50 works by more than 25 artists that span the century. SURREALISM, on view from October 2-November 29, 2025, features images made in Europe, the U.S., and Mexico, spotlighting a phenomenon that enriched the forms, themes, and aesthetics of photography. The shattered collective consciousness of Europe in the wake of World War I saw Surrealist artists reject the grim realities of a modern civilization defined by violence and devastation, instead embracing the unconscious, intangible realm of dreams and inner desires. Against the backdrop of Freudian psychoanalysis and ... More

LONDON.- The British Museum is set to display around 150 works from 100 different artists in an exhibition celebrating graphic works on paper from the Nordic region. Nordic noir: works on paper from Edvard Munch to Mamma Andersson is the culmination of a five-year programme dedicated to building the Museum's collection of post-war Nordic artwork. Showcasing one of the best collections of Nordic art outside the region, the exhibition aims to provide a welcome and stimulating insight into the distinctive art originating there. Although Scandinavia is sometimes viewed by outsiders as a homogenous entity, the exhibition highlights individual characteristics and complexities within the various Nordic countries, as well as exploring universal and overarching themes. It also questions the definition of Nordic art and what it means to be a Nordic artist through work by artists who have immigrated to and emigrated from the region. ... More

Karlo Kacharava's unseen sketchbooks and paintings on view at Modern Art LONDON.- Modern Art’s second exhibition of Karlo Kacharava features previously unseen drawings from his sketchbooks, created between 1991 and 1992, alongside paintings from 1988 to 1993. The show, titled Sometimes Ballerina, Sometimes Priest, in Reality, a Murderer, quotes the artist himself having been scrawled on one of his drawings. This exhibition provides a glimpse into Kacharava’s automatic writing approach to the artistic process, seamlessly intertwining text and visual elements. Recurring phrases written in Georgian, such as “Dreams of Mzhavanadze” – a reference to Vasil Mzhavanadze, the first secretary of Georgia’s communist party from 1953 to 1972 – reflect his wry sense of humour and the chaotic information consumption. Alongside these Georgian phrases, Kacharava references German Neo expressionist painter Helmut Middendorf, as well ... More
Jockum Nordström opens first solo show at Tim Van Laere Gallery ANTWERP.- Tim Van Laere Gallery presents Myrstackarnas land / Land of Anthills, the first solo show of new and recent works by the celebrated Swedish artist Jockum Nordström at the gallery. This exhibition brings together a rich constellation of Nordström’s intimate collages, evocative pencil drawings, and delicately balanced mobile sculptures. We have all, at some point, been captivated by an image, moved by its resemblance to something in our memory. Memory is malleable, whimsical and at times tangible. Memory images point to something beyond oblivion. In the case of an artist, this can consist of the inadvertent borrowing of a detail from a certain artwork in the form of a subconscious memory of a composition the artist has once seen. The work is created anew when the composition is reused in the present. It is validated, perhaps as a sign of admiration towards the other artist. ... More

Report a concern. Nine Eyes by Jon Rafman opens at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art HUMLEBÆK.- The Canadian artist Jon Rafman's breakthrough project, The Nine Eyes of Google Street View, is a milestone in the recent history of art. Starting 8 October, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art presents the first major museum exhibition of how Rafman since 2008 has worked with a vast archive of images found on Google Street View – images by turns hilarious, uncanny, glitchy and trippy. Jon Rafman (b. 1981) uses images found online to take a critical and empathetic look at how technology is shaping our lives. His landmark work, The Nine Eyes of Google Street View, is continually added to and growing. In the Louisiana’s exhibition, it is unfolded in photography, video and installation within an overall scenography designed by the artist.
