BARCELONA.- This is the first exhibition in the country dedicated to the American artist Eugene J. Martin (1938– 2005). Martin belongs to the generation of African-American artists that emerged after the Second World War, but he was distinguished by his lack of political engagement and his creative independence. After a difficult childhood, Martin enrolled at the Corcoran School of Art and Design in Washington, D.C., in 1960. Becoming an artist was a clear vocation, regardless of his material hardships. He visited museums regularly and developed a passion for Cézanne, Picasso, Kandinsky, Klee and Miró, all of whom had a decisive influence on his work. His early figurative pieces evolved into what he called “satirical abstraction”: biomorphic and anthropomorphic creatures appeared within skilful compositions, always imbued ... More
ROME.- The first comprehensive monograph dedicated to Emilio Prini (1943–2016), one of the most enigmatic and radical figures of Arte Povera, is now available from Sternberg Press. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Emilio Prini: ...E Prini (October 27, 2023–March 31, 2024) at MACRO – Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, curated by Luca Lo Pinto, the volume offers the most systematic study to date of the artist's work. Structured chronologically from 1966 to 2016, the publication examines Prini's practice through an extensive iconographic and bibliographic analysis of his archives and of the institutions in which he exhibited. Refusing any hierarchy of media, the book presents installations, sculptures, invitations, posters, typescripts, and documents without distinction—reflecting Prini's own understanding of the work as an open and constantly rearticulated process rather than a closed object. By first analyzin ... More
Produced in partnership with Galleria Borghese and Hannibal Books, the exhibition catalogue is available in three languages: Dutch, English and Italian. Photo: Rijksmuseum/Albertine Dijkema.
AMSTERDAM.- Passion and desire, lust and jealousy, cunning and deceit — few classical texts have stirred the imagination of artists as deeply as Ovid’s Metamorphoses. In the eponymous exhibition artists as Bernini, Titian, Correggio, Cellini, Caravaggio, Rubens, Rodin, Brancusi, Magritte, and Bourgeois rival the imaginative power and artistic vision of one of Antiquity’s greatest poets. Over 80 masterpieces have been brought together from museums and collections worldwide. This exceptional exhibition has been developed through close collaboration between the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and Galleria Borghese in Rome. Produced in partnership with Galleria Borghese and Hannibal Books, the exhibition catalogue is available in three languages: Dutch, English and ... More
Hilma af Klint Hardcover, 8.3 x 10.2 in., 1.18 lb, 96 pages ISBN 978-3-8365-9903-0
NEW YORK, NY.- Hilma af Klint painted as though she was channeling the universe. Fascinated from childhood by botany and mathematics, she began her career painting landscapes and portraits, but other preoccupations stirred within her: questions of spirit, unseen energies, patterns too vast for the eye alone. Her art was inseparable from her spiritual practice. With a circle of female artists called The Five, she held séances, heard voices from "High Masters," and was inspired by the Theosophical Society and Rudolf Steiner’s theories. Working tirelessly to map life’s hidden dimensions, she would paint to the point of physical collapse. By 1906, her canvases featured radiant geometries of spirals and orbs, impregnated with symbols, letters, and words, anticipating the later embrace of abstraction by Kandinsky, Malevich, Mondrian, and others. Her vast painted cycles—like her works for the Temple and The Ten Largest—often depicted dualities: inside and out, the ... More
Yuko Mohri, Decomposition, 2026. Vintage shelf, 2 LED lights illuminated by fruits, 33 x 10 1/4 x 6 1/2 inches; 83.8 x 26 x 16.5 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Tanya Bonakdar Gallery is presenting Falling Water Given, Yuko Mohri’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, on view in New York February 19 – April 18, 2026. Known for transforming everyday materials and environments into self-contained ecosystems, Yuko Mohri's practice explores the invisible forces that shape our world — from gravity, magnetism, and humidity to social and emotional currents that flow between people and spaces. In the downstairs gallery, a group of new works from the artist’s Moré Moré (Leaky) series appear within hanging frameworks inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s ready-mades and The Large Glass. In these kinetic, site-responsive installations, Mohri orchestrates an intentional water leak, turning its flow and rhythm into a driving force that animates improvised infrastructures composed of found objects and instruments she discovered in New York. This ... More
Milton Avery, Wally’s Haircut, 1930. Oil on canvas, 33 × 26 in. (83.82 × 66.04 cm), 34 × 27 × 2 1⁄8 in. (86.36 × 68.58 × 5.41 cm) framed.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- The Figure is the first full-scale survey devoted to Milton Avery’s figurative paintings. The works on view begin the 1920s, when he moved to New York, and continue through 1964, the year he completed his final canvases. Reminiscing on the home they shared for more than four decades, his wife, Sally Michel, recalled that “someone was always dropping in—a continual array of artists, relatives, models, and friends of friends,” all of whom talked about painting except Avery, “who sat quietly sketching first one and then another of the assembled group. . . . This cast,” she wrote, “provided Milton with much of his subject matter.” Over the intervening decades, as movements such as American Impressionism, the Ashcan School, Abstract Expressionism, and Color Field painting came and went—each borrowing from him and, at times, claiming him as their own—Avery remained steadfastly focused on what was directly ...

Jon Schueler, Far Away Red (o/c 1688), 1990. Oil on canvas, 12 x 10 in.
NEW YORK, NY.- Shamnoski Gallery is presenting Jon Schueler: Moods and Memories an exhibition organized in conjunction with a special screening of the documentary Woman in the Sky, directed by Max Woertendyke. Recently shown at international film festivals and not yet released to the public, the film anchors a focused presentation of paintings that illuminate Jon Schueler’s, (1G16 – 1G22), lifelong engagement with memory, mood, and the sky, while offering an intimate portrait of Magda Salvesen, Schueler’s widow and the steward of his legacy. Woman in the Sky examines the often unseen labor of devotion, remembrance, and preservation that follows an artist’s death. Through Salvesen’s story, the film reflects on love, time, and the responsibility of carrying another life’s work forward—themes that resonate deeply with Schueler’s own artistic philosophy. At the heart of the exhibition is a selection of paintings dedicated to Salvesen, works that register her presen ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Olney Gleason is presenting an exhibition of work by Robert Motherwell in collaboration with The Dedalus Foundation. On view at 297 Tenth Avenue, New York, from February 19 to March 28, 2026, the exhibition highlights Motherwell’s distinctive approach to developing his compositions, through a combination of bold gestures, varied surface textures, and overlapping planes of color. Across painting, collage, printmaking, as well as other mediums in which he worked, Motherwell animated his surfaces with a wide range of blacks, juxtaposed in areas of varying density. This endowed his oeuvre with enormous force and intensity: the subjects of his paintings emerge in large measure from the dynamism and intricacy of his painting process. Motherwell often worked on his paintings over extended periods of time, and he ... More
Andisheh Avini, Untitled, 2026.
NEW YORK, NY.- Martos Gallery is presenting All of You, an exhibition of new work by Brooklyn-based artist Andisheh Avini, and the artist’s first in New York in eight years. All of You grapples with identity, presence, and absence through sculptural and installation-based works that are simultaneously diasporic, architectural, and personal. By deconstructing how notions of selfhood and memory are deepened and reshaped by geographic and cultural dispersal, what emerges is not a narrative of displacement, but an exploration of an internal sense of identity. One imbued with history and culture, even in the shadow of separation and violence, operating at both an individual and global scale. The first gallery in the exhibition presents the artist’s head, scaled to his height, and covered in patterned marquetry that echoes throughout the exhibition’s skeletal forms. Looking downward, this work serves as the north star in a constellation of compact glass balls. At varying states of rupture a ... More
Edouard Manet, The Café-Concert, ca. 1879. Oil on canvas. Acquired by Henry Walters, 1909-10.
BALTIMORE, MD.- The Walters Art Museum announced today the opening of From Gérôme to Monet: Stories from the 19th-Century Collection, a focused exhibition that explores the different, overlapping, and sometimes conflicting ideas that existed in the 19th century about how paintings should tell stories and connect with their audiences. Curated from the Walters collection, the exhibition places works by officially recognized artists trained at government-sponsored art schools side by side with paintings completed in the same years by the Impressionists, illustrating the two contrasting, yet coexisting, schools of thought. The installation comprises 20 paintings and one sculpture and will be on view in Hackerman House at 1 West Mount Vernon Place through May 31. The first Impressionist group exhibition was held in Paris in 1874. At first, the broad, unblended brushstrokes used by the Impressionists shocked contemporary viewers, who were used to the polished and detailed work of academically trained painte ... More
The work, part of the collection of the National Museum of History, is the subject of the research, conservation, and museology project, 'An image of breath and ashes. Photo: Melitón Tapia, INAH.
MEXICO CITY.- One of the most recognizable images of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz is now the focus of a major scientific and art historical study, as specialists from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) join forces to closely examine the celebrated portrait painted by Miguel Cabrera. The large oil on canvas, preserved in the collection of the National Museum of History at Chapultepec Castle, anchors the research and conservation project An image of breath and ashes: the portrait of Sor Juana between matter and memory. The initiative brings together experts in restoration, physics, art history, and museology to better understand the work’s materials, technique, and long-term preservation needs. Between February 3 and 13, museum visitors were able to witness part of the process firsthand, as specialists carried out non-invasive imaging and ... More
GHENT.- Until 15 March, KIOSK presents a new solo exhibition by Joost Pauwaert. With A Good Hammering, he fills the space with an all-encompassing installation in which heavy machinery, saw blades, and seemingly festive objects converge in an explosive visual language. The work balances between strength and vulnerability, destruction and beauty, technology and poetry. In recent years, Joost Pauwaert has received wide media attention following Big Bang II, an art installation featuring self-built Napoleonic cannons that resulted in a court case concerning prohibited weapons possession. Although Pauwaert and the Verbeke Foundation were found guilty, no penalty was imposed. The case underscored the radical nature of his practice and sharply highlighted how his work deliberately probes the boundaries of law, safety, and artistic freedom. A new appeal hearing is scheduled for March 10—a moment that once again raises questions about interpretation, responsibility, ... More

Kevin Appel finds breath and rhythm in expansive new abstractions NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery is presenting Intervals, California-based artist Kevin Appel’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition is on view 19 February through 28 March 2026 at 515 West 22nd Street. Accompanying the exhibition is a fully illustrated publication featuring an essay by Bridget R. Cooks. In Intervals, Appel presents a body of work that marks a measured yet decisive evolution in his practice. Where earlier paintings were characterized by dense patterning and compressed surfaces, these new works open into expansive fields of calibrated color and line, allowing breath, rhythm, and pause to take on greater significance. The artist reflects, “The work is shifting, and right now it feels crucial that I don’t have an end result in mind… it’s been more about being present and disciplined in the process.” Central to this change is Appel’s ...

Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis presents its spring/summer exhibitions ST. LOUIS, MO.- The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis presents the exhibitions featured in our spring/summer 2026 season, on view March 6–August 9, 2026. Claude Cahun (b. Lucy Renee Mathilde Schwob, 1894-1954) and Marcel Moore (b. Suzanne Malherbe, 1892-1972), were visionary, gender non-conforming artists and activists born in Nantes, France. Combining rarely seen photographs and photo-collages with drawings, publications, and historic ephemera, this exhibition celebrates their creative output, lifelong partnership, and risk-taking political activism. Beyond Cahun’s and Moore’s association with Surrealist artists in Paris in the 1920s, visitors will discover how surprising familial entanglements drew these lovers together and sustained their relationship, and how their anti-fascist resistance against the Nazis nearly cost them their lives. As it shares a full and holistic ... More
Cartier and myth at the Capitoline Museums draws over 152,000 visitors in first three months ROME.- The exhibition Cartier and Myth at the Capitoline Museums is proving to be one of the cultural highlights of the season in Rome, attracting more than 152,600 visitors in just three months since its opening.

Vladas Urbanavičius challenges the body and space at (AV17) Gallery VILNIUS.- Vladas Urbanavičius is one of the most significant Lithuanian sculptors of the 21th century, whose work has made a substantial contribution to the development of contemporary Lithuanian sculpture. He creates monumental, laconic forms that explore the relationship between sculpture and its environment, scale, and the viewer. His artistic practice is characterized by minimalism and by the transformation of industrial materials often marked by the passage of time and found objects into autonomous spatial bodies that deliberately distance themselves from decorativeness and conventional notions of beauty. Works by Urbanavičius such as “Hanging Stones” in Taikos Av. in Kaunas, “Quay’s Arch” on the embankment of the Neris River in Vilnius or “Club” in the MO Museum Sculpture Park, have today become an inseparable part of the cultural landscape ...

Ludwig Museum announces annual programme for 2026 BUDAPEST.- In addition to its efforts to understand and improve the world, in 2026 the Ludwig Museum will focus on the idea of an accessible open institution, symbolically marking or dissolving the boundaries between the museum and its surroundings. As an open institutional space, the museum connects with the city in both its exhibitions and its mode of operation, cooperates with various social groups and other venues, opens up space for collective thinking, organises knowledge sharing in a networked manner, engages in dialogue, amplifies voices, processes, and aspirations. In the spirit of the open museum, in 2026 the Ludwig Museum will place the relationship between its collection and the environment on a new footing, opening up the collection and its spaces to those interested and making them more accessible. The museum’s approach to the world and itself ... More
Leiko Ikemura transforms Lisson Gallery into a mythical garden LONDON.- Leiko Ikemura's Lisson Street presentation coincides with major shows at both Lisson Los Angeles and at the Albertina museum in Vienna. Following the London gallery's seasonal theme of Landscope – artistic responses to the natural world through varied lenses and viewpoints – Ikemura presents a nocturnal garden, El Jardín Nocturno, through a variety of sculptures, paintings, works on paper and poems. The viewer enters the garden on the ground floor, where three sculptures are nestled in an undulating field of green stone. Ikemura's central and imposing Rocket Girl (2024) squats menacingly, being at once a symbol of chaotic, destructive forces, but also a figure for protective good, here guarding the two cat-like statues of Miko and Mikolina in the corner. Existing between genders and species, these three bronzes are also seemingly emerging ... More
NW, Open House for Contemporary Art and Film presents its 2026 program AALST.- NW in Aalst is an open house for contemporary art and film along the city’s quays, where artists, audiences, and communities convene in practices of collaboration and exchange. Over the course of 2026, the program traces intersections between local and global, practice and research, sound and politics. Across exhibitions, film, and public programs, NW foregrounds artistic development while engaging the city, the region, and broader transnational currents. This year, the program emphasizes multiplicity—plural forms of authorship, dissent, listening and collectivity—through a series of exhibitions, commissions, and events that investigate how art can enact, challenge, and reimagine social, political, and aesthetic infrastructures. In Dress to Kill, French artist Pauline Curnier Jardin (b. 1980, Marseille) examines clothing as a site of political negotiation ... More

This is the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery and debut presentation in the United States, on view from February 19th through April 4th, 2026. The exhibition presents a new body of work reflecting Takeshita’s ongoing engagement with nihonga, Japanese painting using traditional methods and techniques, and her inquiry into the medium as a contemporary form of painting. The works on view offer glimpses into Takeshita’s daily life as a young mother living in Kyoto. The exhibition title draws on aesthetic theorist Arnold Berleant’s concern with the commonplace settings of our daily life, urging a recentering of our understanding of landscapes as not dramatic vistas but the prosaic landscapes of the places we inhabit. Working from observation, first by developing sketches ... More
