MONTERREY, MEXICO.-The FEMSA Collection has opened a major anniversary exhibition at the Monterrey Museum of Contemporary Art, presenting a sweeping look at five decades of collecting, research, and dialogue around modern and contemporary Latin American art. Titled “Constellations and Drifts: Art from Latin America in the FEMSA Collection,” the exhibition brings together 174 works by more than 100 Latin American artists, making it the most comprehensive presentation of the collection to date in Mexico. The show, which opened March 20 and continues through August 9, 2026, marks the beginning of the FEMSA Collection’s 50th anniversary celebrations. Rather than following a traditional chronological structure, the exhibition is organized around five curatorial “constellations,” allowing w ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Branding is a kind of alchemy, conjured from form, color, typography, imagery, sound, and motion. How do these elements work their magic on the way we perceive companies and products? From Netflix and Instagram to Nike and Deutsche Bank, this volume deconstructs the design DNA of recognizable brands from all over the world. From the late 19th century, symbols and names were used to identify different products. Soon after, corporate colors arrived, then custom typefaces, and ‘house styles’ for brochures, posters, and packaging. Roll on a century, the digital revolution has brought about a whole new raft of media, brand touchpoints and consumer experiences. Today’s designers and brand managers must keep interrogating the established principles to navigate these new playing fields. The work collected here proves that great brand creation and redesign are always rooted in conceptual individuality and visual originality. Jens Müller and Katharina Sussek have structured more ...

NEW YORK, NY.- David Zwirner is presenting an exhibition of new and recent paintings and works on paper by American artist Lisa Yuskavage, on view at the gallery’s 533 West 19th Street location in New York. This is Yuskavage’s tenth solo exhibition with David Zwirner and marks twenty years since her first show with the gallery in 2006. This exhibition follows her 2025 solo exhibition at David Zwirner Los Angeles and Lisa Yuskavage: Drawings—the first comprehensive museum presentation of the artist’s works on paper, recently on view at The Morgan Library & Museum, New York. A new monograph of Yuskavage’s work was just published as part of Phaidon’s Contemporary Artists Series, with texts by Barry Schwabsky, Ariel Levy, and Lena Dunham. One of the most influential painters of the past three decades, Yuskavage has developed a highly original approach to figuration that continues to ... More
The Tepantitla mural continues to generate new interpretations. Photo: Rafael Morales Orozco."
MEXICO CITY.- A new reading of one of Teotihuacan’s most studied murals is inviting scholars and the public to look again at a familiar masterpiece. The Tepantitla mural, preserved in the Teotihuacan Archaeological Zone in Mexico, has long been associated with the idea of Tlalocan, the paradise of the rain god Tláloc. That interpretation, proposed by the renowned archaeologist Alfonso Caso, has remained one of the most widely accepted explanations of the painting’s complex scenes. Now, archaeologist and cultural communicator Jaime Delgado Rubio, of the National Coordination of Archaeology at Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), is proposing a different view. According to Delgado Rubio, the mural may not represent a spiritual paradise, but rather an earthly celebration linked to agriculture, abundance, tribute, and community life. His interpretation suggests that the mural depicts a major festival held in honor of Tláloc, the pre-Hispanic rain deity. Rather t ... More
MONTREAL.- The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts hosts The Torlonia Collection: Masterpieces of Roman Sculpture. The final stop on a historic North American tour, this major exhibition brings together 57 lifelike marble sculptures: Roman statues, busts, and sarcophagi; stunning bas-reliefs; mythological creatures; and striking portraits of gods and goddesses, emperors, and their wives. These masterpieces are being shown in Canada for the first time. The Torlonia Collection is one of the most important ensembles of ancient Roman sculptures still in existence. Assembled in the 19th century by the Torlonia family, most notably by prince and banker Alessandro Torlonia (1800–1884), who founded the Museo Torlonia in 1876, the collection rivals the Vatican ...

Titanic at Belfast, 1912.
LIVERPOOL.- Maritime Museum curators are inviting people from the Liverpool city region to share family connections and stories linked to RMS Titanic as part of the museum’s redevelopment. Opened in 2012, the exhibition 'Titanic and Liverpool: The Untold Story', originally marked the centenary of the ship’s sinking by exploring the city’s significant links to the famous liner. Due to the huge popularity of the exhibition, it became a permanent gallery and now, while the museum is closed for refurbishment, curators are embracing the opportunity to also revitalise displays and explore what more Titanic stories might still be revealed in Liverpool families and communities. Rebecca Smith, Maritime Museum Curator, said: Titanic’s story is known throughout the world, but less known is that as a Liverpool-registered ship she held many deep and personal connections to the city. Our permanent exhibition, 'Titanic and Liverpool: The Untold Story' explores some of these ... More

MEXICO CITY.- Specialists from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History have restored a more than 1,000-year-old architectural element at the Comalcalco Archaeological Zone in Tabasco, recovering an important example of Yokot’an Maya, or Chontal Maya, construction. Known as Structure 5, the stuccoed architectural sculpture was damaged in June 2024 after Tropical Storm Alberto brought heavy rains to the region. The force of the weather caused the piece to lose stability, fall, and break into six fragments. The restoration was carried out by INAH specialists between August and December 2025. The work focused not only on putting the piece back together, but also on stabilizing its materials so it can be preserved for future generations. Structure 5 is a decorative architectural element from Temple V of the Great Acropolis, an area of the archaeological zone that is closed to the public. It measures 66 centimeters high, 175 ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Hauser & Wirth is presenting ‘I See You You See Me,’ the gallery’s first exhibition dedicated to the work of maverick Italian artist Carol Rama (1918 – 2015). Organized by Carlo Knoell, this presentation gathers work from six decades of Rama’s career to provide fresh insight into some of the less explored aspects of her wildly original, radically unfiltered experiments in painting, sculpture, textile and bricolage. In her lifetime, Rama’s ferociously non-conformist art was largely dismissed, even actively censored. But in the last several years, the artist’s practice has captivated new generations for whom our contemporary context of a world on the edge of madness makes Rama something of a seer. ‘I See You You See Me’ eschews the categorization of her work into ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Eric Firestone Gallery is presenting Women Across America: 1945–1979, an exhibition that showcases connections between women across the country in the post-World War II period. This exhibition highlights the rich tradition of abstraction within the period across various mediums. Taking inspiration from William Gerdts’s sprawling Art Across America: Two Centuries of Regional Painting 1710–1920, the three-volume encyclopedia of art in the United States, this exhibition reimagines what an Americanist Art History of the postwar period might look like if told through women’s art. The show traces a transitional time for women within the art world, with figures such as Adaline Kent and Jeanne Reynal who forged their own paths in order to work as artists, painters like Pat Passlof and Helen Frankenthaler who fought for a place within the New York School, and artists who became outspoken in their feminism during the women’s movement like Miriam Schapiro and Nina Yankowi ...

SCHIEDAM.- Since the first time in 33 years, Stedelijk Museum Schiedam is presenting a solo exhibition by Lou Loeber (1894-1983), whose vibrant, socially engaged, yet accessible work made her into a unique artist. While Loeber experimented with abstraction, she never implemented it as rigidly as her contemporaries Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg. The reason for this was that she always wanted to keep her work comprehensible to a wide audience. The museum has a work by Loeber in its collection: the silkscreen print Slapenden (Sleepers, 1975). The exhibition also marks the launch of a programme about women artists from the 1970s who worked in an abstract style and to whom Loeber was an important source of inspiration. From an early age, Lou Loeber already knew she wanted to become an artist. Growing up in a progressive family, she was ... More
LÜBECK.- A moth circles a light. Its flight appears erratic and yet inevitable, as if guided by an invisible law. Between attraction and destruction, orientation and disorientation, unfolds a movement that feels both familiar and mysterious. Zishi Han takes this nocturnal scene as the starting point for his first institutional solo exhibition in Germany, Fatal Attraction, at the Overbeck-Gesellschaft. The exhibition is a sensual yet conceptual exploration of light—as promise and threat, as the engine of desire and an instrument of control. At its center stands the figure of the moth—a creature irresistibly drawn to light though unable to escape it. Across Han’s practice, the moth is a metaphor for human impulses: the yearning for visibility, the pleasure of looking, the fatal attachment to power. In a dense spatial installation combining video, sculpture, and sound, Han intertwines nocturnal observations from Lübeck’s green spaces with questions of desire, queerness, and dia ... More

TURIN.- PAV Parco Arte Vivente in Turin presents a major solo exhibition dedicated to Claudio Costa, one of the most singular and least explored artists of the Italian late twentieth century. Metamagico, curated by Marco Scotini, explores Costa's central body of work from the 1970s, revolving around his founding obsession: the relationship between material culture, biological memory, and anthropological origins. The exhibition follows a path that revisits the archive, the museum, and the ritual as sites where this relationship manifests. The exhibition is part of PAV’s historical research program dedicated to the roots of the relationship between art and the ecosystem—a direction it has cultivated since its foundation but which, in recent years, it has sought to extend to those pioneers who, as early as the 1960s and 1970s, anticipated the questions now central to the debate on ecology, biodiversity, and the memory of the living. Within this framework, Claudio Costa occupies a unique ... More

Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery presents debut solo show by John Hyen Lee NEW YORK, NY.- Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery is presenting an exhibition of new works by John Hyen Lee. This is the artist’s first solo show at the gallery. John Hyen Lee’s paintings explore the effects of repeated mark-making and layered gestures. Drawing from the structure of the Korean writing system Hangul, he treats language as a vocabulary of paint, where consecutive marks mimic the act of committing form to memory. Through a cycle of application and erasure, letters dissolve into abstraction, positioning painting as an act of both remembering and forgetting, and blurring the line between seeing and understanding. Lee handcrafts the wooden panels that act as grounds for his paintings, reflecting his deep engagement with woodworking. Growing up with a father who built their family home, Lee only picked up an interest in exploring the material of wood himself ... More
Paul Thiebaud Gallery unveils Eileen David's latest San Francisco urban landscapes SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Paul Thiebaud Gallery announced the opening of Eileen David: The City Beckons. The sixteen recent paintings on view capture her continued fascination and dialogue with the urban landscape. David showcases her muse, San Francisco, with delicate brushstrokes in small and medium scale paintings. The exhibition will be on view through July 2, 2026. Eileen David's love of urban landscapes began in metropolitan New York City with "recollections of soft light on timeworn iconic forms that make up the skeletal bones of the city," as she described. Since bringing this foundation to San Francisco in the mid-1970s, she has seen the city’s many iterations. Feeling like an explorer, David searches for a visceral response to what she sees, and these recent small-scale works arranged in a salon fashion are places that resonate ... More
Carolyn Brehm makes record-setting gift funding museum education leadership role WASHINGTON, DC.- The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art announced a record‑setting gift from Carolyn Brehm, vice chair of the museum’s board of trustees, funding a museum education leadership role. The gift establishes the Ambassador Richard A. Boucher Museum Educator position for a five‑year term, appointed to Jennifer Reifsteck, a longtime educator at the museum. By extension, the gift supports the national expansion and extended access of the museum’s education programs. Reifsteck has led several of the museum’s most innovative education initiatives including the development of Artful Movement, the museum’s first educational program focused on teaching social-emotional skills through art. “Expanding educational initiatives is a core part of the museum’s strategic plan to ignite curiosity and promote understanding of the arts and cultures ...

Audain Art Museum opens 'Vistas: From Takao Tanabe's Travels' WHISTLER.- Takao Tanabe’s fascination with landscapes comes vividly to life through his travels across British Columbia, North America, the Arctic, and Europe. With his camera always at hand, he journeyed widely to explore the wonders of places that sparked his curiosity and creative drive. Tanabe captured their geographical features and unique atmosphere, translating them into paintings in his studio that balance careful observation with poetic reflection. His works invite quiet contemplation, as if he listens intently to the land itself. Machu Picchu (1990-2012) is a look back on Tanabe’s journey there in 1977. Each brushstroke, layer of colour, and element of composition evokes the memories and spirit of the place, which Tanabe revisited in his mind while working on the painting. He returned to it in 2012, completing it to his satisfaction at that time. In Suffolk Village ... More
The British Museum unveils a forest on its forecourt inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry LONDON.- The British Museum has today opened Tapestry of trees – a Bayeux Tapestry-inspired installation from acclaimed garden designer Andy Sturgeon. The installation will be open to the public until Tuesday 2 June. Visitors will be able to wander among 37 silver birch trees, creating a canopy across the Museum's forecourt, and discover carefully curated plants weaving through the colonnade. Tapestry of trees is presented by Igor Tulchinsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of WorldQuant, who is the principal funder of the arrival of the Bayeux Tapestry later this year. Throughout the Bayeux Tapestry, trees act as a storytelling device, used to separate scenes and mark pivotal moments. Tapestry of trees marks the beginning of the Museum's public programme tied to the Tapestry, which will open in September. The temporary installation is intended ... More
Miles McEnery Gallery unveils eighth solo exhibition by Michael Reafsnyder NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery is presenting a solo exhibition of new paintings by Michael Reafsnyder, on view at 525 West 22nd Street from 14 May through 20 June 2026. This is Reafsnyder’s eighth solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition is accompanied by a digital catalogue with an essay by Jonathan Griffin. Reafsnyder’s canvases convey an exuberant and celebratory tone, emphasizing delight, glee, and exhilaration through thick layers of paint. The profound enjoyment derived from viewing these nuanced surfaces stems from their wealth of hues, an abundance of painterly gestures, and a diverse array of enigmatic sculptural compositions. The paintings render palpable the present moment of our engagement and seek to bridge a gap between the senses of sight and touch. In his most recent and compelling body of work, Reafsnyder executes a stylistic ... More
James Cohan unveils Blooms Disrupted, an exhibition of new works by Fred Tomaselli NEW YORK, NY.- James Cohan is presenting Blooms Disrupted, an exhibition of new and recent work by Fred Tomaselli, on view from May 15 through June 27, 2026, at the gallery’s 48 Walker Street location. This is Tomaselli’s seventh solo exhibition with James Cohan. For over forty years, Fred Tomaselli has invoked the power of nature through deftly constructed maximalist paintings and works on paper. Tomaselli’s singular painting approach fuses organic matter, photographic reproductions, and dense ornamentation into surfaces that seem to pulse with their own internal light. His work has always moved between registers: the microscopic and the cosmic, the botanical and the geometric, the careful study of the shape of nature and the vertigo of deep space. In Blooms Disrupted, the garden is Tomaselli’s primary subject, which he uses to consider the natural world ... More
MoMA presents the first US monographic retrospective of queer filmmaker Teo Hernández NEW YORK, NY.- In only 23 years Teo Hernández, one of the central figures of Paris’s queer avant-garde film scene of the 1970s and ’80s, produced a monumental body of work that reveals how myth and zealous desire are inextricably knit to our everyday lives. Across more than 150 Super 8mm films, encompassing portraiture, urban landscapes, and diaristic cinema, he ceaselessly forged radical alternatives to linear time and perspectival vision, entrancing audiences with a visceral style that affects both body and spirit. Hernández conceived of the moving image as a pulsating expression of life itself. Hernández used to say that two opposing bloodlines ran through his veins. Born in Ciudad Hidalgo, Mexico, in 1939, he left the country in 1965. After 10 years of extensive travels through Central and North America, Europe, Morocco and India, he settled permanently ... More
Tramway arts centre opens interactive exhibition created by artist Harold Offeh in September GLASGOW.- Artist Harold Offeh will transform the front gallery of Tramway into a sci-fi playscape this autumn, creating collaborative encounters between audiences and artists.
