Portrait of Bishop Antonius Triest by Gaspar de Crayer.
GHENT.- After more than a year of legal, historical, and archival scrutiny, the City of Ghent has decided not to return Portrait of Bishop Antonius Triest by Gaspar de Crayer to the heirs of Antwerp art dealer Samuel Hartveld. The decision, taken on 20 November 2025, follows the unanimous recommendation of an independent commission appointed by the city to assess the claim. The painting, dated after 1630, is owned by the City of Ghent and has been part of the collection of the Museum voor Schone Kunsten Gent (MSK) since 1948. Its wartime history, however, is far from straightforward. The restitution request was formally submitted to the MSK on 3 October 2023 on behalf of a trust representing the heirs and great-grandchildren of Samuel Hartveld, a Jewish art dealer who fled Antwerp for New York in 1940. Hartveld and his family were victims of Nazi persecution, and much of his art collection was seized after his departure. Previous research, including work by journalist and author Geert Sels, ha ...

BERLIN.- The large-scale environment at Halle am Berghain encompasses film, sound, vibration and light. Described by the artist as a “modern myth,” the film at its core follows the emergence of a faceless, human-like figure, which moves through shifting states. As the artist describes, it is “set in a realm outside time and space, where there is no beginning or end, no inside or outside, only an incessant dance of matter, in which every moment is a maybe. We witness the figure’s attempts to exist, communicate and escape a single state of reality or consciousness. We see a dissolution of boundaries between inner and outer realms, and between living and non-living matter.” For Huyghe, uncertainty is explored through this allegory to reveal a liminal space where states are superimposed. It is analogous to how a quantum system can exist in multiple states before it is measured, when infinite possibilities collapse into a single version ... More
Mark Dion, The Collector in Repose, 2026. Squirrel, found objects, wooden shipping crate, 28 1/4 x 33 1/2 x 27 1/2 inches; 71.8 x 85.1 x 69.9 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Tanya Bonakdar Gallery is presenting a solo exhibition of new work by Mark Dion. Since the 1980s, Dion’s work has addressed the world we live in by adopting, and then subverting, its vernacular forms and institutional systems. The artist uses found objects to create sculptures and installations, and his drawings contain straightforward figural representation and standard graphic didactical formats. The familiar language of his materials and styles disarms and draws in viewers. Many of his projects have involved the artist embedding himself with experts in their respective fields to learn thoroughly their methods and traditions, in order to create new works that depict that field using its own language, conventions, and systems. The works maintain a delicate balance between deadly seriousness and wicked humor. ... More

BRUSSELS.- In Morceaux Choisis, Bertrand Lavier’s latest exhibition with the gallery, the artist unveils two new bodies of work, alongside extensions of his ongoing chantiers or ‘worksites’. The exhibition title — French for ‘selected pieces,’ or ‘anthology’ — sets the tone, invoking notions of choice, arrangement, and display that lie at the centre of Lavier’s practice. It also speaks to the breadth and variety that define his work, making it an especially apt name for these new bodies of work. The exhibition opens with a metaphorical bang: the wreckage of a Fiat 500, one of the icons of the last century’s golden era of the automobile, its crushed body painted in a glossy, enticing red. Standing in isolation at the end of the gallery, on a platform that functions more like a stage than a plinth, Fiat 500 is the latest of Lavier’s damaged car works, the origins of which can be traced back to his seminal Giulietta ...

Reinhard Pods, Untitled, 1982. Oil and spray paint on canvas, 71 1/8 x 59 1/4 inches (180.7 x 150.5 cm).
TOKYO.- Fergus McCaffrey Tokyo announced the solo exhibition of paintings by the German artist Reinhard Pods (b. 1951, Berlin), marking his first exhibition in Asia. This exhibition features 15 paintings created between 1979 and 2025, installed across the ground floor and the gallery’s newly expanded lower level space. Pods attended the Academy of Fine Arts in West Berlin from 1971-77, before arriving in New York’s lower Eastside. There he lived and painted in a loft on Elizabeth Street, and hung out at CBGB’s and Max’s Kansas City seeing the Ramones, Blondie, and Talking Heads. He returned to West Berlin in 1978 and settled on the border of Neu Köln and Kreuzberg where the new wave and punk scene converged around the newly opened SO36 club and performance space. Pods belongs to the generation of German and American artists such as Albert Oehlen, Martin Kippenberger, Joyce Pensato, Donald Baechler, ... More
Elisheva Biernoff, Fragment, 2024.
NEW YORK, NY.- David Zwirner is presenting an exhibition of paintings by San Francisco–based artist Elisheva Biernoff at the gallery’s 34 East 69th Street location in New York, marking her first solo show on the East Coast. This exhibition spans Biernoff’s career, featuring a representative selection of her intimately scaled paintings. Working with meticulous fidelity and care, the artist uses fine, luminous brushstrokes to create intricately painted depictions of anonymous photographs, which she sources from antique stores and online marketplaces. Biernoff paints on paper-thin plywood, replicating each detail and blemish, front and back, from the original object in a methodical process that is deeply deliberate and reflective; she only produces around four works each year. Individually mounted on handmade poplar stands, the resultant images exist at the nexus of painting, sculpture, and photography. Biernoff’s works are activated by the viewer’s close looking and emotional c ... More
Installation view of Juan Uslé. Ese barco en la montaña. 2025. Museo Reina Sofia.
MADRID.- In 2025 the Museo Reina Sofía’s main site welcomed a total of 1,601,732 visitors through its doors, a 4.2% increase from 2024, when it received 1,537,105, a difference of 64,627 people. These figures are noteworthy given that the Museo’s two galleries in the Retiro Park were closed in 2025 due to restoration work being carried out on both — the Palacio de Cristal closed its doors in April 2023, the Palacio de Velázquez on 2 September 2024. “It’s great to see the systematic growth of visitors to the Reina’s main sites, particularly when the two Palacios in the Retiro are closed while work is being carried out on the buildings. We’re sure this momentum will continue when the new floor to the Collections opens in February and with the re-opening of the Palacio de Velázquez by the summer”, Manuel Segade, director of the Museo, stressed. In 2025, moreover, 66,276 people participated in the activities the Reina Sofía organised, ... More
Romain Bernini, Autopsy, 2025, oil on canvas, 150 x 120 cm.
PARIS.- Henri Cartier-Bresson et Martine Franck created the Fondation in 2023 with the intention to dedicate its spaces not only to photographers of all styles and generations, but also to “painters, sculptors, and draftsmen.” After the exhibition of Alberto Giacometti’s sculptures in 2005, followed three years later by Saul Steinberg’s drawings, the Fondation now renews its commitment to presenting other types of practices by showing the paintings of Romain Bernini. For around twenty years, this French artist, born in 1979, has been developing an impressive body of work situated at the crossroads of figuration and a form of urban esotericism. He captures moments that function as hypotheses. His compositions depict latent situations in which figures in search of meaning embody kinds of living enigmas. The series of paintings presented here for the first time is inspired by a curious little eighteenth-century book, Giphantie, by Charles Tiphaigne. Guided by a “prefect,& ... More
Gerald Incandela, The Bench, 2009. Hand brushed silver gelatin print on photographic paper.
HARTFORD, CONN.- The Wadsworth announces a new exhibition featuring works by the experimental artist, Gerald Incandela. Melding techniques of photography, drawing, and painting, Incandela creates uniquely expressive images imbued with grace and quiet emotional power. Photographic Drawings is installed chronologically in three parts: early landscapes and portraits from the 1970s and 80s, large figurative images from the 2000s, and photographs taken on the set of Derek Jarman’s film, Caravaggio (1986). Incandela continues to create works with his unique darkroom process here in Connecticut and in California. “We are delighted to present the photography of Gerald Incandela across three spaces at The Wadsworth. Incandela, a remarkable photographer who has chosen to make Connecticut his home, explores the often unexpected possibilities of the medium through an intuitive and expressive approach. We are proud to show such a broad range ... More
Oxygenic, Morton’s largest exhibition to date with Sadie Coles HQ, marks both a summation of her achievements, and a range of new departures and ambitions.
LONDON.- Sequenced in the Kingly Street gallery like tracks on an album, Victoria Morton’s new paintings are individually and collectively scored and orchestrated. The paintings in Oxygenic have diverse starting points, and their characteristics range from performative, flamboyant and detailed to quiet and spare. Painted in quick, instinctive sessions or slowly deliberated over across several months, this series reflects the ongoing enquiries within Morton’s deeply researched practice, as well as her transition into a new studio environment – one that has provided ‘more air, more room to breathe.’ Together the paintings evoke non-linear narratives. This new body of work reflects the latest in her continuing investigation into the language of painting and the coexistence of artistic analysis and felt experience. Morton remains preoccupied with music and with the parallels between playing, recording ... More
Verlaine, who passed away in 2023 at 73 years old, was not only an influential figure in the world of rock music, he was a well known New York personality until the end of his life.
NEW YORK, NY.- The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts has acquired the archive of Tom Verlaine musician, poet, and New York celebrity, primarily known as the frontman for the influential band Television. The archive encompasses nearly every facet of Verlaine’s working career, as well as unreleased music and unpublished poetry. Comprising approximately 40 linear feet, the materials also include photographs, ephemera, handwritten notebooks, correspondence with other influential musicians such as Richard Hell and Patti Smith, short stories, abandoned lyrics, and more. This acquisition comes at the end of an important yearlong celebration of the Library for the Performing Arts’ 60th anniversary. Verlaine, who passed away in 2023 at 73 years old, was not only an influential figure in the world of rock music, he was a well known New York personality until the end of his ... More
AMSTERDAM.- Tracing the effects of financialisation and austerity, the collaborative project The Broken Pitcher attends to a concrete case: a crucial meeting at a bank, negotiating the foreclosure of a family home in Larnaca, Cyprus in 2019. Foreclosures are one of the austerity measures that were imposed on the Cypriot government by the Troika (European group) after the financial crisis in 2012. The Broken Pitcher looks at the banking system and the potentials for changing the script of interacting with it. The project consists of a one-to-one scale model of the bank room, which functions both as an exhibition space and as a set which features in a 70-minute film that reconstructs the bank meeting. Inspired by Abbas Kiarostami’s film First Case – Second Case (1979, Iran), the reenactment of the meeting is then shown to people from various backgrounds who are asked to respond to the question: “In your opinion what should the bank employees do?” The filmed ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Berggruen Gallery announced Blue Distance, an exhibition of new work by American artist Heather Day. This show marks her second solo exhibition with the gallery. Blue Distance will be on view from January 15 through March 5, 2026. The gallery will host a reception for the artist on Thursday, January 15, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. Heather Day’s abstract paintings explore memory, sensation, and landscape. Through a deep engagement with her lived environment in the Mojave Desert, Day translates its textures, sounds, and scents into bold, sweeping swathes of color and form. With her signature cut-and-stitch method, lush biomorphic forms emerge, enveloping one another in a rhythmic interplay of gesture and movement. An archive of memory and time, Day’s paintings reference the sensorial experiences that arise when one tunes into the natural world from a state of seclusion or solitude. Her meditative works suggest the generative expanses of sunsets and seas—bold hues shift before t ... More

Deconstructing power: Anahita Razmi unpacks global symbols at Carbon 12 DUBAI.- CARBON 12 will present The Task of the Mythologist, Anahita Razmi’s sixth solo exhibition at the gallery, including an intervention by artist Peyman Shafieezadeh. In his canonical book Mythologies (1957), Roland Barthes analyzes how myths are constructed through signs and symbols. Focusing on Western popular culture, he considers how “modern myths” are produced through everyday words and objects. For her sixth solo exhibition at Carbon 12, Anahita Razmi builds on this philosophical premise to explore global power structures embedded in both our material and virtual worlds. For Razmi, symbols such as the fingers-crossed emoji, a Turkish talismanic shirt, or a ’90s Britpop emblem hold unstable meanings, shifting with context and use. It is precisely the act of deconstructing these layered meanings that illuminates their significance, what Barthes ... More
Zin Taylor explores the language of ritual thresholds at Quartz Studio TURIN.- On Wednesday, January 21, 2026, Quartz Studio will present Propylon Stela, the first solo exhibition in Italy by Canadian artist Zin Taylor (Calgary, Canada, 1978). The title of the exhibition evokes the image, common both in archaeology and in science fiction, of a threshold, a gateway providing access to another dimension. The installation for Quartz will utilize a selection of Zin Taylor’s sculptural output (ambient tokens) to create a specific narrative for this site. These ambient tokens are slab-like tablets that levitate on the wall. They vary in size and color, and are embossed with a familiar language of geometric and chromatic units. The creation of each tablet uses an index of illustrated elements painted and cut from card and polymer that are pressed into time-sensitive synthetic clay. The materials are synthetic because the ideas are synthetic. These are copies, ... More
Artist Meets Archive kicks off its next edition COLOGNE.- In 2026/27, the unique residency and exhibition program by Internationale Photoszene Köln will take place for the fifth time. Together with the Deutsches Tanzarchiv Köln, the Archiv der Fotowerkstätte Schmölz, the Greven Archiv Digital as well as the FrauenMediaTurm Köln and the LVR-Landesmuseum Bonn, we invite artists to delve into diverse photographic holdings, stories, and discourses, and to develop their own explorations and projects. The new edition of Artist Meets Archive once again brings together a wide range of different photographic archives and collections, highlighting the complexity and versatility of photography: as a medium of reportage or feminist activism, documenting urban history and spatial change, or interpreting movement and dance (history). It combines extensive press image archives with collections and estates of significant photographers, ... More

Michelle Segre's monumental "Nebula" lands in New York NEW YORK, NY.- Derek Eller Gallery presents Nebula, a singular monumental sculpture by Michelle Segre in the North Room. Cosmological, skin-like, and bursting with color, Nebula is over ten feet tall and is comprised of some of Segre’s signature materials including yarn, wool, ceramic, acrylic polymer, and wire. Conceived of during the last several years as a positive and rather humorous antidote to this apocalyptic moment, Nebula posits an alternative to earthly boundaries. The word itself denotes a large cloud of gas and dust located in outer space. Nebulae can originate from either the detritus of hydrogen, helium, and other substances expelled by the explosion of a dying star (i.e., a supernova) or can exist as a region where new stars are born. It is both this dichotomy of purpose and the materiality of the nebula which interests Segre. It can be a place ... More
