HAMBURG.- How are design products styled and staged? How do designers, photographers, graphic artists and companies work together to promote them? When were the first photographic advertisements produced? Like no other, the collection of the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg (MK&G) enables a juxtaposition of design objects and their staging in graphics and product photography. The exhibition “Hello Image: The Staging of Things” explores the collaboration between creative talents from the fields of design, photography and graphic art and presents the design of the products and their staged image from different perspectives. Over 400 objects in eight chapters tell the stories behind prime examples of product and advertising design from the early twentieth century to the present day. The exhibits on display include well-knowd design classics from the MK&G collection as well as loans from London, Paris and Milan, such as Wilhelm Wagenfeld’s Bauhaus lamp, furniture by Charles and Ra ...

GARNET VALLET, PA.- Briggs Auction will offer a spectacular online-only Fine Estates Auction that promises heated bidding and some hot deals on Friday, January 30, starting at 10am Eastern Time. Sparks may fly during bidding on a colorful and intriguing watercolor and gouache abstract by Hans Hoffman (German/American, 1880-1966). Hoffman was a painter and teacher, and his work is revered for his influence on the Abstract Expressionism movement. He is also noted for helping to cohesively combine elements of other post-war techniques including Symbolism, Neo-Impressionism and Cubism, which developed into his signature and self-proclaimed "push and pull" style. Hoffman's pops of bright and bold colors in this work are expressive symbols, balancing its background of spatial unity and structure. The piece is signed lower right and marked "VII.20.45" and is estimated ... More

SAN CLEMENTE, CA .-Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens, the premier museum destination for arts and culture in Southern California, is opening its 2026 season with two striking new exhibitions that invite visitors to reflect on the world around them: how we inhabit it, move through it, and respond to its beauty and fragility. On view January 15 and through March 8, the exhibitions feature Vietnamese-American artist Ann Phong in the Art Gallery and acclaimed plein-air painter John Cosby as Artist-in-Residence in The Studio, together setting a thoughtful and visually compelling tone for the year ahead. “These exhibitions reflect what Casa Romantica strives to offer: art that is both beautiful and meaningful. Ann Phong and John Cosby approach their work from very different places, yet both create art that encourages deeper awareness of our environment, our surroundings, and ourselves,” said Kylie Travis, Executive Director ...

Tilly Kettle, Shuja al-Daula, Nawab of Awadh, 1772, oil on canvas, Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection.
NEW HAVEN, CONN.- The Yale Center for British Art is presenting Painters, Ports, and Profits: Artists and the East India Company, 1750–1850 from January 8 through June 21, 2026. Spanning a century of artistic production, the exhibition reveals the material and technical innovations of the Indian, Chinese, and British artists whose work and lives were shaped by the British East India Company’s global reach. Featuring more than one hundred objects, Painters, Ports, and Profits highlights the beauty and range of the extraordinary artwork produced within the context of one of the most powerful and ruthless corporations in history. “This exhibition brings to light an astonishing chapter of global art history, when artistic innovation and exchange flourished under the shadow of empire,” said Martina Droth, Paul Mellon Director of the Yale Center for British Art. “It tells the story of direct encounters between artists from different continents and ...

NEW YORK, NY.- The early 1960s was a pivotal moment for Sol LeWitt, as the artist experimented with the foundational themes of his art: sequence, seriality, the union of word and image, and three-dimensionality. Sol LeWitt: Works from the 1960s traces the development of these guiding principles, paying special attention to the transition from figuration on a flat painted plane to seriality in three-dimensional structures and wall drawings. A number of works in the exhibition depict human figures in motion, revealing the influence of Eadweard Muybridge’s sequential photographs of people walking, jumping, and climbing on the formation of LeWitt’s conceptual approach. Among these are the remarkable Run series of large-scale paintings and painted reliefs that borrow directly from Muybridge’s photographic composite Running at full speed, ... More
Koblick comes to the gallery from Altman Siegel, where she served as Managing Director for the last six years.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Becky Koblick has joined Gallery Wendi Norris as Director. Koblick comes to the gallery from Altman Siegel, where she served as Managing Director for the last six years. She will start her tenure at Gallery Wendi Norris’ inaugural presentation at FOG Design+Art, January 21 - 25, 2026. Under Koblick’s stewardship at Altman Siegel, the gallery attracted critical praise and institutional attention for its conceptually rigorous and uncompromising programming. She worked closely with Bay Area and international artists, from Trevor Paglen to Lynn Hershman Leeson, to develop thoughtful exhibitions within and beyond the gallery, advocated for their inclusion in major institutional exhibitions and biennials, and cultivated long-standing relationships with private collectors, museum directors, curators, trustees, and partner galleries worldwide. Before joining Altman Siegel, Koblick held senior leadership roles at galleries and art fairs in San Francisco, Los ... More
PARIS.- Tomorrow: Yes is an exhibition of works by Austrian artist Erwin Wurm, and his first solo presentation to occupy the entirety of the extensive Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Pantin space. The exhibition unfolds around two monumental sculptural installations: a compressed schoolhouse, and a 6-metre-tall bent sailing boat. The works on view, the majority of which are exhibited here for the first time, en- compass materials from marble to bronze to aluminium and span some of the artist’s most celebrated series, including his iconic participative One Minute Sculptures. Brought together, they form a sculptural vocabulary for the abstract and the intangible, testifying to Wurm’s radical disruption of the limitations of sculpture. Visitors are invited to step inside School (2024), which distorts the 19th-century silhouette of Wurm’s local village schoolhouse. In its narrow, low-ceilinged interior, the walls are plastered ...

LONDON.- Kate MacGarry is presenting Aimée Parrott (b. 1987) as part of CONDO London 2026, shown alongside paintings by Deborah Hanson Murphy (b. 1931; d. 2018) from Chris Sharp Gallery, Los Angeles. Bringing distinct and contrasting approaches to painting, their works are variously rooted in material experimentation, attentiveness, and a shared interest in evoking the natural world on an elemental level. Aimée Parrott’s practice explores the relationship between painting, printmaking, and material transformation. Her process combines monotype printing, dye, appliqué, staining, and stitching, producing surfaces that bear the physical imprints of time, gesture, and touch. In The green fuse drives the flower, pulsing waves of purple and lilac are encircled by mossy greens and deep crimson rivulets. Titled after a Dylan Thomas poem, brush marks vibrate, evoking ... More
George Blacklock, Alchemy #1, 2025. Oil on canvas, 120 x 100 cm. 47 1/4 x 39 3/8 in.
LONDON.- Flowers Gallery announced Alchemy, an exhibition of new abstract paintings by George Blacklock (b.1952), marking the British artist’s exploration into the evolving, intuitive processes that define his practice. Known for works that fuse gesture, structure, colour and metaphysical suggestion, Blacklock continues his longstanding investigation into painting as both subject and site of transformation. In Alchemy, Blacklock presents a series of works that emerge from what he calls the “studio narrative” - a process that moves between discipline and improvisation, instinct and constant vigilance. For Blacklock, painting is not a means of illustrating pre-formed statements; instead, as the artist reflects, “I believe that my paintings do not depict or represent ideas, they are the ideas.” Recurring shapes - at once emblematic, eroded, and mutable - thread throughout this body of work, as in Blacklock’s oeuvre. For the artist, the form functions as a metaphor for ... More

Presented through interactive installations, immersive video works, and emerging technologies, the exhibition centers digital space ... More
Huguette Caland, Visage, 1973. Oil on canvas, 120 x 120 cm (47 1/4 x 47 1/4in) Framed: 123.4 x 123.4 cm (48 5/8 x 48 5/8in). Copyright Huguette Caland Estate. Courtesy Huguette Caland Estate and Stephen Friedman Gallery. Photo by Archives Mennour.
LONDON.- For Art Basel Qatar 2026, Stephen Friedman Gallery is delighted to exhibit a solo presentation by Lebanese artist Huguette Caland (1931-2019). The booth juxtaposes two significant early works from the 1970s alongside three paintings from her later series Faces and Places (2010s). The presentation demonstrates the artist’s enduring fascination with the human form throughout her 40-year-long practice. Caland was born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1931. Her father, Bechara El-Khoury, became the country’s first president after Lebanon gained independence from France in 1943. Always a bold and independent figure, Caland chose to marry Paul Caland, the nephew of one of her father’s political rivals. In 1964, after the passing of her father, Caland enrolled at the American University in Beirut to study fine art. In 1970, she made the decision to move to Paris, leaving her family and lover behind to ... More
Ara Peterson, Untitled (detail), 2025, graffiti wall, plastic sheet, and veneer laminate in custom aluminum frame, 26.625 x 34.75 x 1.75 inches.
NEW YORK, NY.- Derek Eller Gallery is presenting Stratacaster, a solo show of recent sculptural paintings by Ara Peterson. Continuing his exploration of “strata graphics”— phenomena of sculptural remnants revealed by means of cutting into a prepared three-dimensional material— the wall-based works in this exhibition walk the line between visual balance and spontaneity. Generating a topography through kinetic processes, Peterson mines a composition which is defined by both deliberate choices and chance occasions. For over two decades, Peterson has used film, video, clay, paint, and wood to investigate ideas about stratification in space and time. In this new body of work, he creates unique hand-built plywood that combines layers of wood veneer, plastic sheet, and in some cases “graffiti wall” salvaged from a local tunnel. Using a CNC router, the work is revised during all stages of the production to achieve a complex, textural, and rhythmic field of movement ... More

Art show │ "A Lure, A Lament", group exhibition at Gallery 456 NEW YORK, NY.- CHINCHINART and Chinese American Arts Council/Gallery 456 is pleased to present A Lure, A Lament on view from January 16, 2026, through January 30, 2026, celebrated with an opening reception on Friday January 16, 2026 from 6 – 8 PM. Curated by Weifan Mo and Shuhan Zhang, the exhibition features artists Mosaz Zijun Zhao, I Chin Sung, and Yike Li to explore alternative feminist narratives of ghosts, haunting, and spectral presence. The Chinese ‘gui’ [鬼] embodies a distinct aura that often eludes translation. Within the grip of ‘gui’, spirits and ghosts do not isolate into a transcendental alternative land. They are not merely uncanny dead, or omnipotent immortal, but ancestral presences woven into peculiar geographies, rituals, and lifeways. ‘Gui’ coexists with living human beings. It’s the extraordinary that birthed and mutated from the ordinaries. ... More
Esther Schipper now representing Saâdane Afif BERLIN.- Esther Schipper announced the representation of Saȃdane Afif in collaboration with Mehdi Chouakri. Saâdane Afif’s installations, objects, concerts, and performances engage with works and events drawn from the histories of art, music, and poetry. His practice is defined by radical variability – indeed, a fluid passage – across media, disciplines, inspirations, and methods maintaining provisional status under interpretive systems continually in flux. Playfully testing the boundaries of the conception of the artwork as a discrete, authorial object, Afif’s exhibitions invite the viewer into co-authorship. Afif’s practice draws on a rich network of collaborators from diverse fields, whose expertise and style is absorbed, rearticulated, and set into resonance with his oeuvre. In an ongoing project, Afif invites visual artists, musicians, and writers to produce poetic texts – which he coined ... More

Scott Alario fuses digital photography with geological ceramics NEW YORK, NY.- Kristen Lorello presents Scott Alario: Mother, Mother Ocean, a solo exhibition of photograph-based ceramic sculptures. This is Alario’s fifth solo exhibition at Kristen Lorello and is a celebration of the artist’s lifelong commitment to experimentation, collaboration, and love in the genre of photography, a medium that Alario deftly manipulates in both digital and analog formats. In this new, ground-breaking body of work, Alario adapts the two-dimensional medium of photography to the relief surface of wall-based ceramic, in what his close friend and artist peer Judd Schiffman refers to as an embedding of digital imagery and memory onto tactile, geological surfaces. In my visual art practice, I often collaborate with my family to make photographs that reveal what's invisible: movement, time, imagination, affection. Recently I've been working with ceramics, ...

Artium Museoa challenges the Western gaze in "Looking Through a Circle" VITORIA-GASTEIZ.- Artium Museoa presents Looking Through a Circle in a Circle of Looks, an exhibition exploring artistic practices that critically and speculatively reflect on the role of the moving image in constructing stories and representations of otherness —constructed and defined by the West based on an entire epistemological apparatus derived from modernity— that have shaped a diverse tradition of ethnographic cinema. The works featured in the exhibition often deconstruct established methodologies or question image production technologies, although they also place the camera at the service of self-representation. The project is based on the reflections of filmmaker Maya Deren (Kiev, 1917 – New York, 1961) stemming from her work in Haiti and her decision not to edit the footage she shot during her trips to the island, during which she immersed herself in the world ...

2026 exhibitions at Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian LISBON.- The Centro de Arte Moderna (CAM) Gulbenkian’s 2026–2027 season is defined by a spirit of radical collaboration and the reimagining of the traditional museum experience. Anchored by Rosa Barba’s immersive "carte blanche" intervention in the CAM nave and the mythologically inspired survey Scheherazade, the upcoming program emphasizes the "living" nature of art through site-specific commissions and deep dives into the institution’s own collection. From Bruno Zhu’s exploration of agency and Inês Zenha’s fluid meditations on the body to João Maria Gusmão’s ironic deconstruction of the medium in Painting is Easy. Do It Yourself!, the season bridges the gap between high culture and everyday life. By integrating sound installations, fashion, and experimental residencies in the Engawa Space, CAM positions itself as a dynamic laboratory where ... More
The Autry Museum of the American West announces 2026 exhibitions schedule LOS ANGELES, CA.- The Autry Museum of the American West announced its slate of 2026 exhibition. The museum will be opening five new exhibitions in the new year. From February 14th through March 29th, view Desert Dreams and Coastal Currents on display in the Marilyn and Calvin Gross Gallery. Desert Dreams and Coastal Currents traces the parallel rise of Southern California and the Southwest as hubs of artistic innovation and the lasting impact of these legacies on how we see and experience these places still. Around the turn of the twentieth century, artists seeking subject matter that felt at once recognizably American yet untainted by the industrial modernism of East Coast cities flocked to places like Laguna Beach in Southern California, or Taos and Santa Fe in Northern New Mexico. By showcasing historical work alongside contemporary art that reimagines ... More
Jeff Bellerose transforms European sketchbooks into luminous oil paintings SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Paul Thiebaud Gallery announced the opening of Jeff Bellerose: A Sense of Place on Saturday, January 17, 2026, from 3-5pm, with an artist talk at 3:30pm. On view will be 16 paintings, a pair of monoprints, and a selection of the artist’s sketchbooks all inspired by Bellerose’s 2025 trip to Italy, the Czech Republic, France, and his return through New York and Boston. Enamored with the architectural geometries and juxtapositions of urban city-scapes, Bellerose employs light, color, and perspective to heighten our experience of the world around us. The exhibition will be on view through March 14, 2026. An inveterate traveler, Jeff Bellerose has made a habit of visiting Europe, and in particular Italy, for the past several years. His most recent trip included an extended stay in Rome, as well as visits to Venice and Sardinia. On his daily walks with his watercolors ... More
Galería Travesía Cuatro now representing Virginia Chihota MADRID.- Travesía Cuatro announced the representation of Virginia Chihota. The artist will be jointly represented by Tiwani Contemporary. Introspective in nature, the work of Virginia Chihota (1983, Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe) is deeply shaped by personal experience—both landmark and everyday—and the emotional landscapes that accompany it. Her practice reflects on intimacy, faith, and the human figure, engaging themes such as childbearing, childrearing, kinship, marriage, bereavement, and spiritual questioning. Chihota visualises her inner world as an emotionally shifting and symbolic terrain marked by vigilance, self-questioning, and moments of transformative resolution. Her works, at once mundane and transcendental, are rife with allusions to daily life and interwoven with religious and folkloric symbolism, rendered with a raw, expressionist verve. Trained ... More
