August Macke (1887–1914), Ernte (Harvest), 1911. 62.1 x 47.7 cm. Wax crayon on tracing paper. Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach, inv. no. 10755 [cat. raisonné no. 864]
MÖNCHENGLADBACH.- The drawing Ernte (Harvest) by August Macke, originally part of Walter Kaesbach’s donation to the City of Mönchengladbach in 1928, has been reacquired for the Museum Abteiberg collection: In 1937, the National Socialists confiscated works of art from public museums as so-called “degenerate art,” including Expressionist works donated by Walter Kaesbach to the then Städtisches Museum Mönchengladbach, among them August Macke’s drawing. The National Socialist “Degenerate art” campaign involved the systematic confiscation of modern works of art by the regime beginning in 1937. ... More
Kelmscott Manor.
KELMSCOTT.- A major conservation and restoration project at Kelmscott Manor, Oxfordshire is nearing completion as the “Threads of the Past” project works return to the Manor’s Tapestry Room on the 16 June 2026 for visitors to see the room in its historic splendour. Once the creative heart of the home of William Morris, the Tapestry Room is being carefully restored to reflect the atmosphere that inspired Morris and his circle, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Morris famously regarded tapestry as the “noblest of all the weaving arts,” and it was here that his creativity flourished—shaping designs and writings that would influence generations. At the centre of the project are the Manor’s rare 17th-century “Life of Samson” tapestries, which have hung ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Gagosian announced The Reflection of Bronze, an exhibition of new bronze sculptures by Giuseppe Penone, on view at 555 West 24th Street. This is the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery in New York and marks the debut of two major bodies of work. Curated by Adam D. Weinberg, director emeritus of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, it is rooted in Penone’s late-1960s exploration of trees, which led to his celebrated carved tree works and now culminates in sculptures that render the same subject permanent in metal. Throughout his career, Penone, a protagonist of radical Italian movement Arte Povera, has used a range of materials and forms to explore connections between human life and the natural ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Presented in French and English, this is the first monograph dedicated to Moridja Kitenge Banza (b. 1980), a Canadian visual artist of Congolese origin. Known for dynamic works shaped by the places where he has lived and worked, Kitenge Banza’s art is a subversive blend of reality and fiction that questions and challenges discourses of power while opening new spaces for marginalized histories. Chronicling a multidisciplinary practice that includes painting, photography, video, drawing, and installation, this volume presents a comprehensive outline of Kitenge Banza’s artistic practice. Texts by curators, historians, and theorists focus on the geopolitics, culture, religion, and iconography of the artist’s lived context, accompanied by more than 100 artworks. Whether confronting the impacts of resource extraction in his native Democratic Republic of Congo or in his adopted home of Québec, or recasting histories ... More

Endre Koronczi, Pneuma Cosmic. Courtesy of the artist.
VENICE.- The exhibition Pneuma Cosmic is based on a fictional research project that explores the manifestations of the air movement that permeates the entire world. Sectioned into three installations, the ensemble of works explores the artistic possibilities of representing airflow, drawing analogies between the physical phenomenon and the immaterial spiritual world. Endre Koronczi’s exhibition Pneuma Cosmic presents the hypothesis of an all-pervading, invisibly vitalising, flowing driving force. The project combines the logic of scientific research with an artistic attitude as well as metaphorical ideas weaving the various concepts together. In the exhibited works, these two different approaches dissolve into presenting a conjecture rather than a proof. The exhibition is composed of conceptual, ephemeral works that bring attention to the complexity of our intuitive experience of the environment. The elements of the ventilation system removed from the third floor of the listed building of ... More
MUNICH.- Marking the 20th anniversary of the Espaces Louis Vuitton and the tenth anniversary of the Fondation Louis Vuitton’s Hors-les-murs programme, the Espace Louis Vuitton München presents an exhibition devoted to the work of Polish artist Wilhelm Sasnal. This exhibition is part of the Hors-les-murs programme, showcasing holdings of the Collection at the Espaces Louis Vuitton in Tokyo, Munich, Venice, Beijing, Seoul, and Osaka, thereby embodying the Fondation Louis Vuitton’s mission to mount international projects and reach a broader global audience. Since the 1990s, Wilhelm Sasnal has developed a body of work that questions our relationship to images, history, and memory. His artistic practice centres on painting, while extending to drawing and film, with a consistent economy of means. At the heart of his approach is a close attention to the images that shape everyday life: press photographs, domestic scenes, ... More
BERLIN.- After more than 20 years of successfully presenting the permanent exhibition Helmut Newton’s Private Property on the ground floor of the Museum for Photography, we have decided to expand the concept and radically overhaul the presentation. The core objective – to use this space to illuminate the lives of Helmut Newton and his wife, June – remains. Furthermore, the temporary exhibitions on the first floor will continue to contextualize the work of Helmut Newton and Alice Springs twice a year through alternating solo and group shows. As a transitional step in this transformation, the Helmut Newton Foundation presents a cinematic Intermezzo featuring Helmut Newton in an immersive space. On the ground floor, eight video projectors cast a film across four screens. The production is partly based on a film portrait created three years ... More

LONDON.- The Hayward Gallery, in partnership with the RC Foundation, Taiwan (R.O.C.), has organised a series of solo exhibitions by artists Val Lee, Samuel Laurence Cunnane, Kulpreet Singh, Musquiqui Chihying and Andrius Arutiunian, in the gallery’s HENI Project Space. Taiwanese artist Val Lee examines the psychological toll of systemic control and political violence. By creating non-descript spaces and scenarios in her work, Lee transforms sites of anonymity into spaces for collective introspection. Through metaphors of physical and sensory constraint—such as masked figures—her work explores the multiplicity of the self and mirrors the realities of surveillance and resistance, seeking a path toward reconciliation and freedom. This exhibition spans the past decade of Irish photographer Samuel Laurence Cunnane’s work. Cunnane travels extensively, returning to County Kerry to hand-develop his prints in the darkroom. Cunnane’s approach suggests a receptive process in which ... More

Oototol: First US exhibition reveals the 'striking graphic power' of the late Balinese master NEW YORK, NY.- Fort Gansevoort presents Oototol, the first exhibition in the United States devoted to the late Balinese artist Oototol (c. 1930-2008), featuring a selection of dramatic large-scale figurative ink paintings on view for the first time outside of Asia. Born under the name Dewa Raram, the artist, later known affectionately as “Oototol,” lived and worked in Pengosekan Village, Bali, Indonesia. He came of age during the Japanese occupation in World War II and the subsequent struggle for independence from Dutch colonial rule in the late 1940s, and later lived through Indonesia’s state violence, from the 1965 genocide to the mass killings of 1998. This was a period of profound upheaval that reshaped Indonesia’s cultural and economic life and left a deep imprint upon the artist and his generation. With neither formal education nor literacy, Oototol navigated the world ... More

PHI presents Jakob Kudsk Steensen and Paola Pivi MONTREAL.- PHI presents the exhibitions of artists Jakob Kudsk Steensen and Paola Pivi in the Old Port of Montreal. Dive into an immersive exhibition by Jakob Kudsk Steensen that examines contemporary ecological realities through virtual, sonic, and video worlds. Fieldwork has always been central to Danish artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen’s practice of virtual world-making. His projects have taken root in sites as varied as the now-collapsed ice cave of Switzerland’s Glacier d’Arolla, Minnesota’s Marcell Experimental Forest, abandoned tourist resorts where flora and fauna resist, the collections of New York’s American Museum of Natural History, Bora-Bora, and volcanic seafloors near the Azores. At first glance, these locations may appear unrelated, yet each functions as a critical vantage point for the artist to witness, digitally archive, and reflect on rapidly evolving ecological ... More

Forastera: Lucía Aleñar Iglesias's 'tender ghost story' to make US premiere at Film Forum NEW YORK, NY.- Film Forum will present the U.S. theatrical premiere of Lucía Aleñar Iglesias’ FORASTERA on Friday, May 29. Teenager Cata (Zoe Stein) is summering at her grandparents’ house on the Spanish island of Mallorca, swimming in the turquoise Mediterranean waters, teasing her younger sister, and flirting with a Swedish boy. But this vacation idyll is cut short when her beloved grandmother Catalina (Marta Angelat) abruptly dies, hurling each member of Cata’s family into mourning. One day, she slips into her grandmother’s dress and feels an unexpected pull toward her abuela’s clothes and belongings.

On a day like today, English painter J. M. W. Turner was born
April 23, 1775. Joseph Mallord William Turner (23 April 1775 - 19 December 1851), known in his time as William Turner, was an English Romantic painter, printmaker and watercolourist. He is known for his expressive colouring, imaginative landscapes and turbulent, often violent marine paintings. His artistic style developed over his lifetime, moving away from Romanticism—bypassing the following rising style of Realism—and, instead, with his later works being a significant precursor of and presaging the later Impressionist and Abstract Art movements that arose in the decades after his death. In this image: Fishermen at Sea, exhibited in 1796, the first oil painting exhibited by Turner at the Royal Academy.
