GREENWICH, CONN.-Heather Gaudio Fine Art is presenting Echoes and Iterations, a group exhibition featuring works by Nicky Broekhuysen, Peter Monaghan, Norman Mooney and Robert Sagerman. The exhibition dates are August 16 – September 27 and the public is invited to attend an artist reception on Friday, September 12, 5:30-7:30pm. The works on view are process-driven paintings and sculpture, their visual outcomes defined by the way in which the artists are working with their materials. While expressing themselves mostly through abstraction, the artists draw inspiration from the natural, scientific, mathematical and mystical worlds. Together, their works create discernible and conceptual relationships, at times echoing each other in form, color and imagery, making for a captivating and engaging experience for the viewer. ...

WILLOUGHBY, OHIO.- Milestone’s September 13-14 Premier Firearms Auction is loaded with rare and historically-important antique, vintage and contemporary productions from the most highly-regarded American, European and Japanese arms manufacturers. The live gallery event, with all forms of remote bidding available, features 1,206 hand-selected lots that span all of the most popular collecting categories, including World War II, BATF-NFA, Nazi, Civil War, Old West, sporting, and more. A special highlight of the opening session is an extremely rare British World War I-era 3½-inch field howitzer and cannon, complete with caisson and limber. It has two seats for the gun crew and a seat/sight for the gunner. Manufactured by Royal Gun Factory in 1895, its grooved, rifled barrel is stamped RGF 1895 on top. The unit probably saw use during the First World War and has been restored to impeccable, museum-quality condition. The limber and caisson are excellent, and the wheels are near-perfect. “This is a re ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Hauser & Wirth announces ‘The Weather,’ the gallery’s first exhibition dedicated to the work of celebrated artist Susan Rothenberg (1945 - 2020). ‘The Weather’ presents 14 paintings—including canvases rarely and never before exhibited—that span the arc of the artist’s career. In addition to canonical masterpieces, the exhibition features works that Rothenberg both lived with and tucked away for decades. Together, these works offer an uncommonly intimate glimpse into the restless expanse of Rothenberg’s psyche—revealing, in turn, the raw emotional depth that defined her singular vision. For more than five decades, Rothenberg developed a powerful language through painting that was guided by an intrinsic sense of formal rigor as well as her unerring intuition. From the ‘asteroidal impact’ of her radical breaking open of minimalist conventions to the spectral apparitions of her late paintings, Rothenberg continuously redefined the medium, placing her at the center of the global re-emergenc ...

SEOUL.- Gagosian announces Seoul, Kawaii Summer Vacation, an exhibition of new paintings and sculptures by Takashi Murakami presented at the headquarters of Amorepacific, the world-renowned Korean beauty company, in the center of Seoul, opening on September 2. The exhibition takes place in the APMA Cabinet, a project space on the ground floor of the David Chipperfield–designed building. Seoul, Kawaii Summer Vacation represents Murakami’s return to South Korea following MurakamiZombie, a major retrospective of his work held at the Busan Museum of Art in 2023. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition in Seoul since Takashi in Superflat Wonderland at PLATEAU, Samsung Museum of Art, in 2013. Seoul, Kawaii Summer Vacation explores Murakami’s use of floral motifs across a variety of media, techniques, and formats. The artist’s instantly recognizable smiling flower was originally inspired by the focus on natural forms that characterizes nihonga, the traditional form of Japanese painting in which he ... More
Jaume Plensa, Le désir de Flora, 2025. Cast Iron - Unique, 184 x 136 x 84 cm (72 2/4 x 53 9/16 x 33 1/8 in)
PARIS.- Jaume Plensa, a major international figure in contemporary sculpture, presents his new exhibition "5 rêves, 5 désirs" at Galerie Lelong. Conceived specially for Paris, "5 rêves, 5 désirs" takes place in all our spaces: the gallery and its bookshop at 13 rue de Téhéran, and a second gallery space at 38 avenue Matignon. It brings together an ensemble of recent creations – sculptures in alabaster, iron, and bronze, as well as works on paper – where the material, the human figure, and silence, form a deeply contemporary sculptural vocabulary. Two key words in Plensa’s poetic lexicon appear in the title of the exhibition. Already present in "Désir-Rêve" (his 1997 exhibition at Jeu de Paume in Paris), "rêve" (dream) and "désir" (desire) permeate Plensa’s oeuvre as cerebral, corporeal, and spiritual forms. Dream and Desire re-emerge in his installations, the one in the public space in Vitry-sur-Seine for instance, finding a renewed translation of plasticity. At 13 rue de T ... More
Sissi Farassat, Pauline, 2025. Gelatin silver print with overmat, 8 11/16 x 6 11/16 inches (22 x 17 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- Edwynn Houk Gallery announces Revelation, a new body of work by Vienna-based artist Sissi Farassat, on view from 2 September through 18 October 2025. In Revelation, Farassat reframes the past. Working from anonymous vintage photographs — often touched by the glamour of Hollywood’s Golden Era — she reveals only a carefully selected fragment of each image. The rest is concealed behind a precisely cut overmat, a process art historian Michel Poivert has described as anti-collage. He writes: “For those familiar with Sissi Farassat's work, Revelation is above all a surprise… The desired object reveals itself only through concealment… What we don't see takes center stage. What is primarily addressed here is the off-screen as a space that is both real and imaginary.” Where collage builds through accumulation, Farassat works by subtraction. What remains visible becomes charged with the tension of the unseen. The gesture resists the completeness ... More

LOS ANGELES, CA.- Marian Goodman Gallery will present discrepancies with E.S. (extended), an exhibition of new works by Leonor Antunes. This exhibition marks Antunes’s second solo show with the gallery. Notably, discrepancies with E.S. (extended) was developed in conjunction with discrepancies with E.S. (in company), a complementary and off-site exhibition curated by Douglas Fogle at the Neutra VDL Studio and Residences in Los Angeles. Antunes takes an immersive approach to her subjects, transposing historical forms and precise measures based on deep archival research on artists and modernist histories—often of female protagonists, in order to create sculptures and site-specific interventions. Her work draws on a wide range of sources, lexicons and materials – whether drawing in space with lines and form, exploring the choreographies of volume and movement, the potential of craft or the grid, or the ...

KASSEL.- To mark the 70th anniversary of documenta, the Fridericianum is presenting Robert Grosvenor’s first institutional solo exhibition in Germany and the first comprehensive museum presentation of his work in Europe in two decades. Born in New York in 1937, the artist, who participated in documenta in 1977 and 1987, developed his sculptural practice in the 1960s, when minimal art was emerging as an artistic movement. He took part in the exhibitions Primary Structures (1966) at the Jewish Museum in New York and Minimal Art (1968) at the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague—two milestones of the movement. His early works are characterized by a reduced formal language that combines industrial materials and clear geometric structures. However, his practice continued to evolve. Grosvenor’s work, which also includes drawings and photographs, therefore defies categorization and captivates with its idiosyncrasy, range, and ... More
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Fahey/Klein Gallery will present Paul Outerbridge: Photographs, a landmark exhibition celebrating the visionary work of Paul Outerbridge (1896–1958), one of the most resourceful and provocative photographers of the twentieth century. This exhibition brings together a rare selection of Carbro prints, Silver Gelatin Photographs, and Platinum Prints, tracing the evolution of a modernist whose daring vision helped redefine the possibilities of photography through Cubist experimentation and radical abstraction. Outerbridge emerged in the 1920s as a bold innovator, transforming ordinary objects, such as milk bottles, collars, eggs, into fractured Cubist constructions of light and form. His platinum and silver gelatin prints reduced subjects to intersecting planes and geometric rhythms, revealing a structural beauty aligned with the avant-garde movements of his time. These works positioned him among ... More
John Zurier, May-October, 2024, oil on linen, 21 5/8 x 17 3/4 inches (55 x 40 cm).
NEW YORK, NY.- Peter Blum Gallery will present Pink Dust, an exhibition of new works by Berkeley and Reykjavík -based artist, John Zurier. This marks the artist’s eighth solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition is on view from September 2 with an artist reception on September 25 from 6–8pm, and will run through November 1, 2025, at 176 Grand Street, New York, NY. John Zurier's exhibition Pink Dust features a body of work created over the past two years predominantly in Iceland. This group of smaller paintings and one large painting emerged from his time at a farmhouse at the base of a mountain with views of fields, the sea, and a glacier in the distance, deeply influencing his artistic practice. The works revisit and expand upon the abstract formal language Zurier developed after his initial visit to Iceland in 2002. The exhibition title and the largest painting’s title, A History of Pink Dust, are taken from Ron Padgett's book of poems entitled, Pink Dust. They symbolize the t ... More
SEOUL.- Galerie Eva Presenhuber will present Steven Shearer: Wools and Effigies, the gallery’s eighth solo exhibition with the Canadian artist Steven Shearer. This is the fifth collaboration between the gallerists Eva Presenhuber and Soo Choi. Wools and Effigies weaves together disparate approaches to portraiture through a selection of drawings, painting and print works. While echoing the bric-a-brac quality of Shearer’s signature Archive works, the exhibition title suggests an unconventional shop dealing in woolen goods and curios—where the refined taste and authority of antique artifacts meet the monstrous refuse of a more recent past. The show’s central painting, Figurine Peddler (2025), depicts a male figure holding a polychrome statuette against an ambiguous backdrop. Given the scale relationship between the two, the painting’s title suggests that the ... More
HOUSTON, TX.- The renowned German jewelry artist Dorothea Prühl is recognized worldwide for her sculptural forms rendered in wood and metal. Trained in the traditions of the Bauhaus, for the past 50 years Prühl’s jewelry has reflected her vision of life. Painstakingly formed or carved, the individual elements in Prühl’s necklaces come alive in expressive compositions. Their seemingly simple gestures – a butterfly’s wings or a cluster of flowers – belie a complexity and craftsmanship that is unmatched in contemporary practice. The artist has remarked, “Jewelry is, for me, something fundamentally positive. It suggests strength, wealth, splendor, beauty. This may sound banal, but it is not commonplace if you want to understand it properly. I am satisfying an archaic yearning that I share with the viewer or the wearer, and that connects me ... More
YoungHo Seock, Conversation 25202, 28.5 x 24 in, mixed media, 2025.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Disquiet vs Harmony brings together nine contemporary artists—four from Korea and five from Italy—whose works explore the aesthetic tension that exists in the liminal space between disquiet and harmony; unrest and balance; chaos and order. Curated by Cynthia Penna and Yujin Iris Jeong, this exhibition presents a timely, cross-cultural dialogue that seeks to excavate and articulate the role of art during times of unrest. Amidst today’s climate of global uncertainty and fragmentation, this exhibition investigates art’s capacity to simultaneously contain dissonance and harmony. The nine artists from Italy and Korea address the central theme of disquiet vis-à-vis harmony through a wide range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, installation, and textiles, revealing unexpected parallels and resonances. The theme of the exhibition is most physically materialized in Youngho Seock's sculptural paintings wherein a raised surface of scabrous texture ... More

Opening at Sebastian Gladstone in NYC: Nihura Montiel "Corporate Goddess" NEW YORK, NY.- In Nihura Montiel’s studio—a former upholstery shop on an inconspicuous block of Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles—fluorescent track lights cast an even, bright glow over stainless steel tables; suede jewelry cases neatly line countertops, brimming with pyramids of loose charcoal; and bouquets of feathery makeup brushes fill jars, bristles shiny and taut. Each fixture has an air of meticulousness—an austere sanctuary for the seven grayscale canvases that hang from each wall, depicting a model boat, a bejeweled buddha, a rooster bronze, a cocktail shaker, a decorative mirror, a crystal cat, and a sculpture of the blindfolded goddess Fortuna. Seated on a spotless cream sofa overlooking her work station, Montiel stacks piles of reference materials across a coffee table for perusing as she embarks on a discussion of her latest series: Corporate Goddess. AB: You ... More
i8 Gallery announces highlights to be shown at CHART Copenhagen 2025 COPENHAGEN.- For Chart 2025, i8 Gallery’s booth features a two-person presentation of works by Ryan Mrozowski and Arna Óttarsdóttir. For Ryan Mrozowski (b. 1981, USA), new paintings explore perception and optical oscillation through masking flora with saturated areas of colour. From Arna Óttarsdóttir (b. 1986, Iceland), we include new weavings that combine elements of abstraction and figuration, and explore the physical properties of the material she uses. As is consistent throughout her practice, Arna Óttarsdóttir uses her own notebooks, which are filled with thoughts and drawings, as source material for her works. By incorporating sketches and less formal visual elements into her weavings, Óttarsdóttir infuses her work with a personal energy. The patterns, textures, and colours vary within individual works, allowing the artist to investigate the aesthetic intricacies ... More
Norton Museum of Art to present Leslie Hewitt: Achromatic Scales WEST PALM BEACH, FLA.- The Norton Museum of Art will present Leslie Hewitt: Achromatic Scales, a solo exhibition of new and recent works by artist Leslie Hewitt (born 1977, New York, lives and works in Houston). This exhibition brings together selections from three ongoing series — Riffs on Real Time, Riffs on Real Time with Ground, and Chromatic Grounds — that explore the complex layering of memory, poetics, and free association through photography, sculpture, and site-specific installation. Leslie Hewitt: Achromatic Scales will be on view September 13, 2025, through February 22, 2026. “Leslie Hewitt is an extraordinary contemporary artist whose conceptual practice explores the complex ways in which we understand time, history, and context through photography, texture, and color.

Opening statement: Seoul Mediacity Biennale JUNG-GU.- Opening on August 26, 2025, the 13th Seoul Mediacity Biennale Séance: Technology of the Spirit begins with a question: what role has spiritual experience played in the development of modern and contemporary art? Over the past decade, it has been impossible to ignore the number of artists turning for inspiration to alternative forms of knowledge. The mystic, visionary, or arcane—often as enshrined in suppressed cultural traditions—has come to occupy a central place in the artistic discourse. This renewed interest in spiritual practice seems to us to respond to a broader crisis in how we make sense of the world. Seoul—a city shaped as much by its rich spiritual traditions as modernity—offers the ideal platform for an investigation into the social, political, and historic contexts for this cultural shift. Not only to showcase the relevant works being made today, but ... More
CEPA Gallery announces the opening reception of Black Serenity by Granville Carroll BUFFALO, NY.- Granville Carroll’s Black Serenity explores the ways in which blackness occupies space. Low-light and low-contrast, Carroll’s self-portraits command viewers to slow down, concentrate, and confront their perceptions of race and blackness. This immersive exhibition creates an environment for self-reflection; a sensorial experience that presents blackness not as a void or absence, but as endless possibility. As stated by Carroll, “Black Serenity is an exploration of the polarities within darkness as it relates to a primal sense of fear and a conscious mode of evolution and healing. This project explores my relationship to isolation and solitude, and how one’s perspective shapes the world they live in. The darkness of space is empty, void, and yet, it represents everything that is and can be.” On September 4th from 6:00-9:00 PM, Carroll will be teaching Self-Portraiture ... More
Solstice Arts Centre presents Of Peras and Apeiron: ends and infinity NAVAN.- Of Peras and Apeiron: ends and infinity is an exhibition of artists who explore systematic processes as an inherent part of their practice. Francis Halsall and Belinda Quirke have curated a selection of work that explores the different numerical, geometrical and methodical systems that can be used to make art. They have found artists who both explore the potential of the infinite and unbounded (Apeiron) whilst acknowledging they will always be bound by limits (Peras). The resulting work reveals approaches that are mathematical and rational, fictional and personal whilst exploring the deep creativity of systems made by humans and other agents. Gerard Caris (Netherlands) devoted his arts practice to endless applications of what he termed pentagonism in drawing, print and sculpture. Channa Horwitz’s (US) extraordinary system of notation, Sonakinatography embeds ... More
Artists tackle "Disruptive Realities" in Berlin exhibition BERLIN.- An upcoming exhibition in Berlin will explore the challenges faced by women artists in today’s world, from climate change and political instability to social polarization. Titled "Disruptive Realities," the show at Haus am Kleistpark aims to open a dialogue about the resilience of female artists and the often-unseen struggles within the art world. Curated by artists Friederike von Rauch and Stefanie Schweiger, the exhibition is based on interviews with 20 women artists of different ages, disciplines, and backgrounds. The conversations delve into personal experiences with work, resistance, exhaustion, and hope, creating what the curators call a "multi-voiced archive of the present." "Disruptive Realities" argues that the idea of art existing separately from societal conditions is an illusion, especially as funding structures disappear and institutions react with uncertainty. The exhibition ... More
ACT Festival 2025 - Neuroverse: Sailing Through The Sentient Universe GWANGJU.- In 2025, the National Asian Culture Center and ACT Festival celebrate their 10th anniversary. Over the past decade, ACT Festival has explored the intersections of art and technology, articulating some of the most urgent global questions through the language of art. This year’s edition introduces a new concept: the “Neuroverse,” combining “neural networks” and the “universe.” The Neuroverse refers to a contemporary worldview in which humans, machines, and the world itself operate as a living network, akin to the firing of neurons. Artificial intelligence has emerged not merely as a tool but as an entity that thinks, responds, and interacts with us in everyday life. Rather than simply glorifying or fearing technology, ACT Festival confronts the layered realities that arise from the entanglement of human and machine. Within this complexity, the festival seeks out the ... More

On a day like today, Mexican painter Rufino Tamayo was born
August 26, 1899. Rufino Tamayo (August 26, 1899 - June 24, 1991) was a Mexican painter of Zapotec heritage, born in Oaxaca de Juárez, Mexico. Tamayo was active in the mid-20th century in Mexico and New York, painting figurative abstraction with surrealist influences. In this image: Rufino Tamayo's painting "Sandias" or "Watermelons'' is seen in this undated picture. Mexico put out an international alert Sunday, Jan. 31, 1999 for 12 paintings that were stolen from an exhibition last week, including "Sandias" by one of Mexico's most famous painters. The paintings, on loan from private art collectors in Mexico, the United States and Europe, were part of a 43-canvas show the gallery organized to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Tamayo's birth.
