SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Letterform Archive Books announces the release of Lettres Décoratives: A Century of French Sign Painters’ Alphabets, a vibrant survey of the letterforms that once adorned streets throughout France. Featuring more than 150 plates drawn from rare chromolithographic albums published between the 1830s and the 1930s, the book captures a century of design at the height of the sign painter’s craft.

Surprising dimensional alphabets and ... More
 

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938), Portrait of Erna Schilling, 1913. Oil on canvas, 71.5 × 60.5 cm. Neue Nationalgalerie, Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Berlin. Photo © bpk / Nationalgalerie, SMB, Verein der Freunde der Nationalgalerie / Jörg P. Anders.

DAVOS.- From 15 February to 3 May 2026, the Kirchner Museum Davos presents the first comprehensive juxtaposition of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Pablo Picasso. Around 100 paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints from major international museums and private collections open a new perspective on two of the most influential artists of modernism. The starting point of the exhibition is a remarkable wish expressed by Kirchner in 1933: he dreamed of seeing his works exhibited alongside those of Pablo Picasso.
Building on this idea, the exhibition explores the extra- ordinary creative power of two artists of almost the same age, who never met yet responded to the challenges of their time with radically different artistic paths – and nevertheless come surprisingly close to one another repeatedly in their works. ...

Andy Warhol in an apron with his Big Shot Polaroid camera in the Factory, color stereoscopic photograph taken by Ronnie Cutrone, ca. 1970s. Stereoscopic slides related to Andy Warhol and the Factory, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.

WASHINGTON, DC.- The Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art has acquired more than 400 stereoscopic slides of Andy Warhol (1928–1987) inside his legendary New York City studio, The Factory. Stereoscopic slides use two aligned images to simulate depth, creating the illusion of a vivid 3 D scene. Taken by artist Ronnie Cutrone (1948–2013), these rarely seen 3-D images offer an intimate look at Warhol’s working process and the many characters and celebrities who were a part of Warhol’s career. Cutrone joined Warhol as an assistant in 1972 and soon began photographing daily life inside The Factory. The newly acquired collection captures Warhol at work and features portraits of notable visitors, including Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, Dennis Hopper and Paloma Picasso. The collection also includes images of Georgia O’Keeffe posing with her ... More

LONDON.- In a wide-ranging practice spanning four decades, post-war Japanese artist Tetsumi Kudo (1935 – 1990) explored the implications of what would later be termed the Anthropocene in prescient works that interrogated the proliferation of mass consumption, the rise of technology and environmental degradation. On view in the South Gallery, this exhibition is Kudo’s first in London in over a decade, displaying a selection of works that include the artist’s signature cages, cubes and gardens. Using found materials, store- bought items and hand-sculpted body parts, they suggest a world in which nature, technology and humanity influence each other in a mutually reinforcing system he called the New Ecology. The varied environments he created are ... More

Two Shores: Elizabeth Xi Bauer bridges generations of Afro-Diasporic spirituality   David Zwirner now represents Louis Fratino   John Akomfrah's acclaimed British Pavilion film makes U.S. debut at Lisson Gallery


Ivan Moraes, Untitled (Baiana), 1966. Tempera on canvas, 21 cm x 15 cm. Courtesy of Galeria MaPa, São Paulo, Brazil, and the estate of Ivan Moraes.

LONDON.- Elizabeth Xi Bauer is presenting Two Shores, a new exhibition at its Deptford space, bringing together works by the late Ivan Moraes and emerging talent Saint Takyi. This exhibition marks the gallery’s first presentation of work by either artist, and the first time their practices are shown in dialogue. Placing Moraes’ historical perspective alongside Takyi’s contemporary vision highlights the enduring influence of spirituality and identity as driving conceptual catalysts. Opening a vital dialogue on duality and ambiguity, the exhibition explores African-origin cultural expression as a site of encounter, transformation, and syncretic identity. Through portraiture and layered visual languages, Ivan Moraes and Saint Takyi draw on Christian, Candomblé, and Asante traditions: Moraes embeds Afro-Brazilian ritual aesthetics within everyday scenes, while Takyi weaves Christian heritage and Asante ...

NEW YORK, NY.- David Zwirner announced the representation of New York–based artist Louis Fratino (b. 1993). At Frieze Los Angeles later this month the gallery will feature new paintings by the artist. Fratino's first solo exhibition with the gallery will be in London in Fall 2026.

Fratino is also represented by Sikkema Malloy Jenkins, New York, and Galerie Neu, Berlin. Fratino creates paintings, drawings, and sculptures that depict intimate personal experiences and domestic affairs, frequently centering contemporary queer life and the male body. In portraying all manner of subjects garnered from his immediate circles and through observation, he connects an exuberant palette of bold, high-contrast colors with an expressive figuration that cites his considered study of classical and modern Western art history and ...

NEW YORK, NY.- British artist John Akomfrah opens the U.S. premiere of Listening All Night To The Rain, the critically acclaimed work first commissioned for the British Pavilion at La Biennale di Venezia in 2024. Akomfrah brings a focused iteration to New York, debuting the central multi-channel film, Canto VI, which traces pivotal moments in the histories of colonised nations, focusing on the independence movements and uprisings that swept Africa and Asia from the 1940s to the 1970s, as well as the parallel history of women’s struggle for liberation. The presentation at Lisson Gallery coincides with Akomfrah’s continued engagement with histories of resistance in the United States; alongside this exhibition, The Baltimore Museum of Art and the Menil Collection have co- ...

Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne presents Marina Xenofontos: Play Life   A birdhouse full of art: Exhibition explores the complex relationship between birds and humans   Jonathan Meese unveils a more introspective 'universe' at Tim Van Laere


View of the exhibition. Photo: MCBA, Etienne Malapert.


LAUSANNE.- The Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts, Lausanne, is presenting Marina Xenofontos’s solo exhibition Play Life, commissioned for its Project Space. Through sculptures, found objects, writings, and films, Marina Xenofontos explores the material manifestations of memory and history. Through precise gestures, the artist lends new weight to objects that she moves, replicates, or transforms, simultaneously reconfiguring the space they inhabit. At the intersection of real and virtual space, the exhibition Play Life is articulated around the video game Twice Upon a While (2018-2025), which is shown here in its definitive form for the first time and in which visitors are active participants. The main character in the game, named Twice, is a young girl who lives in a seemingly ordinary world but constantly finds herself transported into a dreamlike universe of choices, dead ends, loops and disorientation. The long ... More

THE HAGUE.- The Mauritshuis presents BIRDS – Curated by The Goldfinch & Simon Schama, an exhibition that focuses on our relationship with birds. No other species has captured our creative and spiritual attention quite like birds. They appear in art, poetry, religion and music, as deities or as messengers of the gods. Our fascination has everything to do with birds’ unique ability to fly. BIRDS – Curated by The Goldfinch & Simon Schama is not so much a conventional exhibition as a birdhouse full of art, ranging from Ancient Egypt to the catwalks of today’s fashion world. Structured around a number of themes, the exhibition offers a bird’s-eye view of the rich complexity of the relationship between birds and humans. It is impossible to imagine life without birds. They are a symbol of freedom, beauty, love and spirituality, but they are also pets, hunting trophies and a source of food. The exhibition explores these contrasting visions and reflect on how we relate to nature, t ... More
 

Jonathan Meese, TOTAL GODZILLA IS ALWAYS BACK EATING SPAGHETTI PUTANESCA! (ART FEEDS US), 2013 - 2026. Mixed media, 181 x 89 x 100 cm.

ANTWERP.- Tim Van Laere Gallery presents P.O.P.² (POWERPLAY – OVERKILL – PING|PONG) (DR. NO'S MOTHER(Z)) (THEY LIVE). This is Jonathan Meese’s seventh solo exhibition since the beginning of his collaboration with Tim Van Laere Gallery in 2011. In this solo exhibition, Meese presents a series of new paintings, alongside several sculptures and an installation. Together, these works reveal a more sensitive, more introspective side of the Meese-universe. Themes such as the mother, life and death, hope and dance take centre stage and bring an emotional layering that balances between vulnerability and play, seriousness and ecstasy. The energy remains unmistakably Meese, but here it is infused with a more existential and human resonance. Jonathan Meese (Tokyo, 1970, lives and works in Berlin and Ahrensburg) is known for his multifaceted ... More

New Fotografiska Berlin exhibit questions the ethics of the modern zoo
BERLIN.- The relationship between humans and animals has for centuries been shaped by projection and exploitation. In Life Sentence, Berlin-based photographer Nikita Teryoshin turns his gaze toward zoos – places whose origins are closely intertwined with Europe’s colonial past. Once, animals were forcibly taken from distant regions; zoos functioned as windows into foreign worlds, but also as symbols of ownership and dominance. Today, they are often justified in the name of conservation. Yet what does protection truly mean when animals’ freedom is profoundly restricted and an artificial sense of proximity to humans is staged in its place? Teryoshin began engaging intensively with this subject during the pandemic and started working on the series in 2022. “I read that during the pandemic it became clear how strongly some animals reacted to the absence of human presence. ...

Suzann Victor's City Lantern illuminates Art Basel Hong Kong 2026
HONG KONG.- Gajah Gallery will present Suzann Victor’s monumental kinetic installation City Lantern at Art Basel Hong Kong 2026. The work will be shown at Booth EN12, Level 3 as part of Encounters, the sector dedicated to large-scale installations, sculptures, and performances. City Lantern is a reflection on Asia’s evolving urban landscapes, pairing colonial-era photographs with contemporary images into a panoramic, rotating cityscape. Through its field of Fresnel lenses, the region’s histories fracture and recombine — buildings, bodies, and landscapes surfacing and dissolving in shifting constellations. At once luminous and disorienting, City Lantern is a 3.6-metre-wide kinetic installation in which a ten-meter photographic mural rotates slowly behind a ring of Fresnel lenses. The composition weaves together approximately sixty architectural sites from across ... More

The Block presents 2026 photography exhibitions by Hamdia Traoré and Teresa Montoya
EVANSTON, IL.- This winter, The Block presents two exhibitions drawn from recent museum acquisitions of photographic portfolios. The exhibitions Hamdia Traoré’s Des marabouts de Djenné and Muslim Portraiture in Mali and Teresa Montoya’s Tó Łitso (Yellow Water): Ten Years After the Gold King Mine Spill will be on view through June 14, 2026. Distinct in subject, the exhibitions each explore how contemporary artists use the extended photographic portfolio to tell a comprehensive story. The exhibitions also share a focus on artists who use photography to document and interpret the presentation of their own communities. These portfolios by Traoré and Montoya both demonstrate an intimacy that comes from proximity to the people and the stories they represent. The visually stunning photographs draw us in. As viewers, we are invited through them into places ... More

LACMA celebrates the 2026 World Cup with 60 'sportraits'
LOS ANGELES, CA.- The Los Angeles County Museum of Art presents Fútbol Is Life: Animated Sportraits by Lyndon J. Barrois, Sr. Celebrating the arrival of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Los Angeles this summer, the exhibition spotlights “sportraits” by award‑winning animator and visual effects artist Lyndon J. Barrois, Sr., many of which have never been shown publicly. Fútbol Is Life highlights the global culture of soccer through the uniquely personal perspective of an artist who has been modeling figures since childhood. Barrois materializes unforgettable moments from the histories of women’s and men’s soccer using one-inch-high sculptures made primarily from chewing gum wrappers, strengthened with glue and meticulously painted in detail. The tiny figures, arranged in vignettes, are extraordinarily expressive, magnifying the game’s physical grace, emotional ... More

Fondazione Calarota explores the ethereal Venice of Jacques Cordier
VENICE.- Within the spaces of the Giorgio Morandi’s Library at ACP – Palazzo Franchetti, the Fondazione Calarota presents the exhibition Jacques Cordier – Venise, dedicated to the final phase of the French artist’s pictori-al research, carried out shortly before his premature death. The exhibition, whose curatorial project is en-trusted to Marie-Isabelle Pinet, focuses on a crucial moment in Cordier’s career, when his direct confronta-tion with the work of William Turner — that he had the chance to admire in 1971 during a visit to the Tate Gallery in London — deeply transformed his painting. The study of Turner’s treatment of light marked the beginning of a new phase in the artist’s production, characterized by an increasingly fluid, luminous, and poetic painting, which found a privileged context of expression in the evocative atmosphere of Venice, a city he visited frequently. ...

Barbara Zucker challenges sentimentalism in new solo exhibition
NEW YORK, NY.- Duane Thomas Gallery is presenting an exhibition of works on paper and sculpture by artist Barbara Zucker. The exhibition coincides with the publication and launch of Zucker’s book, The Second Oldest Profession: The Wet Nurse, Revered and Reviled, published by Abbeville Press. Conceived as both a social history and a feminist act of reparation, The Second Oldest Profession investigates the largely erased history of wet nursing—an ancient occupation shaped by class, race, misogyny, and economic necessity. The exhibition brings Zucker’s decades-long research into physical form, presenting works that explore breastfeeding, labor, care, and the female body. Several works on view are featured in the book, underscoring the deep interrelationship between Zucker’s visual practice and her scholarship. The wet nurse—a woman ... More

Artefact Festival reimagines the exhibition as a massage
LEUVEN.- STUK welcomes you for Grind Grind Grind, Release. An Exhibition as a Massage, the new edition of Artefact festival. Contemporary art and embodied sensations meet in a versatile exhibition, energising concerts and meditative performances, deeply moving films and thought-provoking lectures. “What echoes in me is what I learn with my body.” —Roland Barthes Starting from the challenge to curate an exhibition that feels like a massage, the show puts the body of the visitor center stage. In this context, the body is not just a mere corporeal vessel that takes us through the world, but becomes an active agent in our perceptive journey. It is, then, a body that longs, desires, and belongs; it is a body that communicates, connects, heals, remembers, stores and carries memories, that is allowed to dissolve in space, whilst being seen and acknowledged. Drifting from room ... More

Uri Aran's first institutional retrospective debuts at Museo Madre
NAPLES.- The Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee – museo Madre, Naples presents the first institutional retrospective of work by the American artist Uri Aran (Jerusalem, 1977). Conceived especially for the spaces on the third floor of Palazzo Donnaregina, the exhibition is presented as a sort of mid-career retrospective: a path put together by the artist in direct dialogue with the architecture of the museum, bringing together many of his most important works alongside new pieces created especially for this occasion. This exhibition is very much part of the development of the artist, whose research has been featured in some of the most prestigious institutions on the international scene, including the Walker Art Center’s Platforms: Commissions and Collection program in Minneapolis (2019); the Whitney Biennial (2014), curated by Stuart Comer, Anthony ...

New Museum announces artist list for New Humans: Memories of the Future
NEW YORK, NY.- The New Museum today announced the complete artist list for New Humans: Memories of the Future, the first exhibition to span the entirety of the expanded New Museum, opening on March 21, 2026. Across the New Museum’s SANAA-designed building and OMA-designed expansion, New Humans will trace a diagonal history of the past one hundred years through the work of more than two hundred international artists, writers, scientists, architects, and filmmakers, highlighting key moments when dramatic technological and societal changes spurred new conceptions of humanity and new visions for its possible futures. Continuing the New Museum’s long history of presenting provocative and timely group exhibitions, New Humans: Memories of the Future will explore artists’ enduring preoccupation with what it means to be human in the face of sweeping ...

LOS ANGELES, CA.- Ahead of the anticipated opening of the David Geffen Galleries this April, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art announced two milestones marking its next chapter.

On a day like today, American painter and activist Keith Haring died
February 16, 1990. Keith Allen Haring (May 4, 1958 - February 16, 1990) was an American artist whose pop art emerged from the New York City graffiti subculture of the 1980s. His animated imagery has "become a widely recognized visual language". Much of his work includes sexual allusions that turned into social activism by using the images to advocate for safe sex and AIDS awareness. In this image: Keith Haring, Andy Mouse, color screenprint, 1986.
