MEXICO CITY.- Synonym Gallery, in collaboration with La Artisteria, is presenting CHECK-IN, the first solo exhibition in Mexico City by artist Charlotte Hailstone Wu. The exhibition opened October 2nd, 2026 and will remain on view through 30th, 2026. CHECK-IN presents a new body of work that expands Hailstone Wu's ongoing investigation into perception and the point at which painting begins to move beyond the flat surface. The exhibition brings together paintings depicting translucent plexiglass forms; paintings that incorporate plexiglass itself; Op Art-inspired pattern paintings and prints; photograms made using those same plexiglass forms as negatives; and small resin works installed in repeated groupings and triptychs. Forms recur across these bodies of work, particularly small plexiglass chairs drawn from the histories of furniture and design. As they reappear, the same object shifts between subject, material, pattern, and image-making tool. Repetition - especially in groups of three - establish ... More

World War II German deck-mounted B6 binoculars from a production run of only 100 units made for the Kriegsmarine (Nazi German Navy). Sold within its auction estimate range, for $5,412.
WILLOUGHBY, OHIO.-Milestone Auctions’ September 26 Premier Military & Edged Weapons Auction closed the books at a robust $900,000, with well-provenanced antique and vintage items from across a 250-year timeline finishing at the top of prices realized. After the auction concluded, Milestone’s co-owner and principal auctioneer Miles King remarked that the selection had been carefully curated by his team of experts to make sure historically significant items were within reach of both advanced and beginning collectors. “There were Revolutionary War and Civil War items that any American history museum would be thrilled to add to their collection. Additionally, we created large sections devoted to World War II, Nazi and Axis relics, including important uniform groupings, helmets and headgear, flags, medals, and an outstanding array ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Nancy Hoffman Gallery is pleased to open the season with an exhibition of recent paintings by artist Jody Guralnick. The artist’s work brings the complex, microscopic, and often overlooked networks of the natural world into vivid, large-scale relief. Guralnick’s practice operates at the vital intersection of contemporary art, ecological taxonomy, and citizen science. Her heavily textured compositions explore the intricate, symbiotic structural systems of the "Fifth Kingdom"—focusing intensely on mosses, lichens, molds, and the branching hyphal threads of fungal mycelium. Using a rich, tactile application of acrylic impasto, the artist renders these lacy, baroque configurations in bas-relief against deep, luminous oil backgrounds that evoke a complex natural palette. “As muses go, yeast, mold, mushrooms, and lichen have a lot to offer,” Guralnick notes. “When fungus grows, it casts these lacy mycelial threads. It's so baroque and over the top.” The art ... More
Ricardo de Madrazo y Garreta, Self-Portrait, circa 1880. Oil on canvas, Madrid, Museo Nacional del Prado. Acquired in 2025.
MADRID.- The name Madrazo occupies an imposing place in the history of 19th-century Spanish art. Federico de Madrazo became one of the era's defining portraitists, while Raimundo de Madrazo achieved international success and Mariano Fortuny — connected to the family through marriage — became one of Spain's most celebrated artists abroad. Ricardo de Madrazo, however, has remained a considerably more elusive figure. The Museo Nacional del Prado is now seeking to change that. The Madrid museum has opened Ricardo de Madrazo (1852-1917): Drawings and Watercolors, the first exhibition devoted to the artist, bringing together sketchbooks, watercolors, drawings, personal documents and his earliest known self-portrait. Presented in Room 60 of the Villanueva Building as part of the Prado's "Open Storage" program, the exhibition remains on view through January 17, 2027. For an artist who spent much of his life surrounded by famous painters, Madrazo left behind a remarkably personal record of his ... More
Ketty La Rocca, J with dot (3 dimensions), 1970. Pvc plastic. 117 × 50 × 11 cm (46.06 × 19.69 × 4.33 in).
SALZBURG.- Thaddaeus Ropac Salzburg presents an unprecedented dialogue between VALIE EXPORT and Ketty La Rocca, two of the most visionary feminist conceptual artists to emerge in Europe during the 1960s. BODY SIGN, shown at Thaddaeus Ropac Milan earlier this year, was the last exhibition conceived in close collaboration with VALIE EXPORT during her lifetime. Both artists used their bodies as tools to challenge language's patriarchal function and expose the dichotomy between its usage in public and private space. They recognised that in order to convey their ideas an expanded field of action was required and moved beyond the constraints of a single medium. Photography, video, sculpture and performance were treated by both artists as fluid and permeable. In the 1960s, our attempts to cultivate a direct and uncontrolled language in art were based upon the idea that the dominant language was a form of manipulation. The plan was to circumvent these forms of social control. [...] This was the strength ... More
Highlights include Picasso's Femme assise, painted in April of 1958 ($4 - 6 million).
NEW YORK, NY.- Christie's announced the sale of Property from the Collection of Wilma (Billie) and Laurence Tisch best known for their business and philanthropic leadership in New York and beyond. Led by a bronze by Henry Moore, the collection's diverse approaches to figuration by Jean Arp, Jean Dubuffet, Fernand Léger, and Pablo Picasso represent a compelling profile of top iconic artists across the 20th Century. The collection will be sold beginning in London on October 21 with a bronze by Barry Flanagan in the Modern British Art Evening Sale, and then the majority of the collection will be offered in New York during November Marquee Week within the 20th Century Evening Sale, the Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale, and the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale, and in subsequent sales into 2027. In total, the collection is expected to realize in excess of $15 million, with proceeds going to the Tisch family foundations to continue the couple's lifelong philanthropic mission. The top lot of the ... More
Alexander Calder's Tres Plat a 1972 hanging mobile estimated to achieve $2 – 3 million.
NEW YORK, NY.- Christie's announced Points of Light: The Collection of Mickey and Edna Weiss, a collection from the Los Angeles home of an extraordinarily benevolent couple who were twice awarded the President's “Points of Light” award in honor of their efforts to end hunger. Their richly diverse collection spans the 20th century, from paintings with dazzling color and brushwork by Helen Frankenthaler, Maurice de Vlaminck and Raoul Dufy to Modern sculptures by Alexander Calder and Henry Moore that employ movement and negative space to play with light in three-dimensions. The collection will be presented at Christie's New York this November during the Marquee Week with offerings in the 20th Century Evening Sale, the Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale, the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale and online sales. Christie's exhibition of highlights in Los Angeles from October 14-17 will mark the first time works from the collection have been publicly viewed since they were acquired by the f ... More
G. Maillard Kesslere, Helena Rubinstein, 1932.
BONN.- The Bundeskunsthalle will make aesthetics the central theme of its 2027 program, using exhibitions devoted to beauty, fashion, photography, Japanese culture and contemporary art to examine the ways appearances shape identity, status and power. Rather than approaching aesthetics simply as a question of art or personal taste, the program considers how ideas of beauty are formed by cultural, social and historical forces. Ideals surrounding the body, fashion and appearance can serve as codes through which societies communicate expectations and individuals construct their identities. The year begins with "Beauty is Power: Helena Rubinstein—Pioneer of Modern Cosmetics," on view from February 26 through September 5. The first exhibition in Germany devoted to the self-made entrepreneur Helena Rubinstein examines a woman who challenged social conventions at a time when cosmetics were often regarded with suspicion. Rubinstein promoted the idea that beauty could become a form of individual e ... More

HERSHEY, PA.- RM Sotheby’s marked its 20th year at Hershey with $13.8 million in total sales during its Oct. 7–8 auction at the Hershey Lodge.

Euridice Zaituna Kala, Eutrophê: the wave (detail), 2025. Installation, dimensions variable. Courtesy of the artist and galerie anne barrault. Photo: Aurélien Mole.
MUNSTER.- Daylighting: aber es ist Wasser, das spricht is the first solo exhibition by the Mozambican artist Euridice Zaituna Kala at a German institution. After initially being shown at La Criée centre d’art contemporain in Rennes in 2025, the exhibition moved to La Loge in Brussels in 2026. It has now reached what is, at least for now, its final location at the Kunsthalle Münster, where it occupies the premises of the former grain warehouse. The existing works have been supplemented by a new piece that the artist developed on site. Euridice Zaituna Kala’s work originates from an in-depth deconstruction, manipulation and reconstruction of cultural and historical metamorphoses. It invites us to engage with the historical and cultural transformations of personal and collective memory. A particular focus lies on the complex relationship between colonialism and post-colonialism, as well as post-colonial memory. In order to address the extensive history of erasure and silence, and trace th ... More
Tula Telfair (b. 1961), Whispering, 2025. Oil on canvas, 72 x 48 in.
NEW YORK, NY.- Iceland’s wondrous hot springs and geysers include signs asking tourists to resist the damaging and uniquely human urge to toss coins at them for good luck. “Nature does not care about your money,” we are reminded. It is a simple truth, one that hits our fragile egos like a slap in the face. Things we want to assign value or meaning to are reduced to folly in front of, say, a massive waterfall surging 500,000 gallons of water per second into an abyss. Once you accept the fact of nature’s cold indifference to humans, you are ready to experience the heart-pounding awe of Tula Telfair’s paintings. Hirschl & Adler Modern presents Tula Telfair: Who Owns This Land, our first solo exhibition of the artist’s work. The show features more than a dozen new paintings exploring the human condition through our ongoing and complicated relationship with the land. The figure is not needed here. In nature’s presence, the artist believes we come to understand our own mo ... More

The Haus for Media Art Oldenburg Kwang-Ju Son and Yehwan Song: The Square and the Cross OLDENBURG.- The Haus for Media Art Oldenburg presents a duo exhibition by Yehwan Song and Kwang-Ju Son, titled The Square and the Cross. Two Korean female artists of differing generations employ divergent strategies to interrogate questions of identity, connection, history, and the far-reaching influence of colonialism, both digital and historical, on lived experience and language. Yehwan Song’s grand video installation, The Square (2023–2026), occupies the upper gallery, its fragile and intricate structure animated by a singular ambition: to imagine the internet otherwise. Song has long investigated the internet’s evolution—how it has fundamentally reshaped human behavior, reordering users’ purpose and reconditioning their patterns of attention. What began as a promise of open access, boundless knowledge, and unfettered space for social and political discussion and discovery has, in the present moment, contracted into something narrower: social media platforms run by algo ...

Dayton Art Institute pairs American Folk Art Museum quilts with AIDS Memorial Quilt panels DAYTON, OH.- The Dayton Art Institute (DAI) presents its newest Special Exhibition, Wall Power! Spectacular Quilts from the American Folk Art Museum, alongside the Focus Exhibition Power of Remembrance: AIDS Memorial Quilt Panels, bringing together two powerful perspectives on the American quilt and its ability to preserve stories, honor communities and make history visible. The exhibitions explore the quilt as an important American art form and a deeply personal means of expression. Spanning more than a century, the works on view demonstrate how generations of makers have used fabric, color, pattern and composition to communicate identity, tradition, loss, resilience and community. As the nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States, the artworks displayed in these exhibitions offer an opportunity to reflect on the many stories that make up the American experience. Quilts have long been woven into American life, serving practical purposes while also carrying family histories, cultu ... More
Olney Gleason announces global representation of Los Angeles-based artist Kour Pour NEW YORK, NY.- Olney Gleason announced the representation of Los Angeles-based artist Kour Pour (b. 1987, Exeter, UK). Two new paintings by the artist will be on view at Frieze London, Booth D25, from October 14-18, 2026, and the artist’s first solo exhibition at the gallery will open in New York in early 2027. Kour Pour is an American artist of British and Iranian descent whose work investigates how images travel, transform, and acquire meaning across cultures and time. Drawing from a wide range of global visual traditions, Pour complicates the notion of fixed cultural origins and reveals the exchanges, adaptations, and contradictions embedded within familiar imagery. Through processes of layering, reproduction, and erasure, Pour creates compositions that prompt shifts in perspective, inviting us to reconsider what we see. Pour’s studio practice exists between painting and printmaking. Alongside sweeping gestures and intricate hand painting, he explores the possibilities of printmaking as ... More

Mohammed Sami is the National Gallery's 2027 Artist in Residence LONDON.- The National Gallery today announced Mohammed Sami as its Artist in Residence for 2027. Celebrated for his powerful paintings of psychologically charged interiors and landscapes, Sami investigates both the possibilities and limits of painting as a means of evoking the memories of moments passed. His works often depict sites marked by conflict yet deliberately refrain from portraying acts of violence themselves. Instead, through nuanced painterly dexterity, he presents traces, fragments and remnants, constructing enigmatic scenes where the absence of human figures welcomes contemplation and interpretation. Sami has been invited to develop his artistic practice in dialogue with the National Gallery’s collection. Having begun his residency in August 2026, he will spend a year working in the Gallery’s onsite studio, with exceptional access to its collection and archives. The residency will culminate in a publication and presentation of new work in July 2027, alongside the acquisi ... More
Asymmetry presents inaugural exhibition in research strand Configurations LONDON.- Asymmetry announces Configurations, a new research strand that brings its curatorial and discursive work into the exhibitionary. It takes its name from the proposition that exhibitions are not static containers for finished knowledge, but momentary spatial and cross-temporal relations. A configuration suggests a shifting arrangement: one in which artworks, materials, ideas, and histories are brought into renewed contact, allowing established interpretive frameworks to be unsettled and reconstructed. Configurations marks a new development in Asymmetry’s programme, extending the conditions it creates for curators and researchers to experiment and expand their practices. It creates a space in which curatorial methodologies can themselves be tested and given material form. Each iteration becomes part of an evolving process of enquiry, connecting the exhibitionary to Asymmetry’s wider ecology of public programmes, research, library activity, and publications. The inaugural exhibit ... More
Bozar pairs Edith Dekyndt and Cristóbal Balenciaga in unprecedented material dialogue BRUSSELS.- From 14 October 2026 to 31 January 2027, Bozar presents the unprecedented exhibition The Fabric Decides, in which works by the Belgian artist Edith Dekyndt (b. 1960, Belgium) and pieces from the archives of the fashion designer Cristóbal Balenciaga (1895–1972, Spain) engage in dialogue for the very first time. The exhibition highlights their shared fascination with materials, their transformations and the traces left by the passage of time. “Through her meticulous exploration of the Balenciaga archives, Edith Dekyndt reveals unexpected points of convergence and subtle dialogues between contemporary art and haute couture,” explains María Inés Rodríguez, the exhibition’s curator. The Fabric Decides brings together some fifty works by Edith Dekyndt – including around thirty being shown for the first time – and over thirty pieces from the Balenciaga archives. It reveals how, for both these creators, fabric transcends its role as a mere medium to become an acti ... More
Amos Rex presents major group exhibition exploring African and Afro-Nordic perspectives HELSINKI.- The exhibition's title draws inspiration from a story in Minna Salami's book Sensuous Knowledge: A Black Feminist Approach for Everyone, in which two explorers visit the same mountain but return with completely different accounts of what they have seen. The story suggests that reality itself appears diminished when only certain perspectives are sustained and believed, and of what can become visible when other ways of understanding the world are allowed to take part. The exhibition's artists explore urban environments and how structures within different landscapes bring people closer together or set them apart. Through African and Afro-Nordic perspectives, questions of memory, migration, identity, and movement are raised, with the urban landscape as a recurring stage. Through varying forms of expression—sound and light, glass and sand, textiles and scents—the artists give these themes a multifaceted and sensory expression. "As curators, we were interested in the artists' mult ... More

On a day like today, Italian painter and educator Mariotto Albertinelli was born
October 13, 1474. Mariotto di Bindo di Biagio Albertinelli (13 October 1474 - 5 November 1515) was an Italian Renaissance painter active in Florence. He was a close friend and collaborator of Fra Bartolomeo. Some of his works have been described as "archaic" or "conservative"; others are considered exemplary of the grandiose classicism of High Renaissance art.
