ROCKLAND, ME.-The Farnsworth Art Museum announced the acquisition of four monumental murals by celebrated American artist Newell Convers (N.C.) Wyeth (1882–1945), a gift of Bank of America. Commissioned more than a century ago by the First National Bank of Boston, a predecessor institution of Bank of America, the mural cycle depicts, through the artist’s perspective, scenes of maritime trade and commerce in New England. “This is an extraordinary gift to the Farnsworth and an important addition to our collection of work by the Wyeth family,” said Christopher J. Brownawell, Executive Director of the Farnsworth Art Museum. “These murals demonstrate N.C. Wyeth’s remarkable abilities as a painter and storyteller on a grand scale, while their subject matter speaks directly to New England’s maritime heritage. We are deeply grateful to Bank of America ... More
WILLOUGHBY, OHIO.- Twelve years after opening their gallery doors in metro Cleveland, Milestone Auctions recorded its highest-grossing auction ever, a $1.8 million sale of premium-quality antique and vintage toys. The October 17 event featured rarities that seldom, if ever, appear in the marketplace, including an elusive Machine Man Robot that landed at the top of prices realized with a selling price of $134,550. Manufactured by Masudaya (Japan) in 1960, Machine Man represents the rarest of a quintet of large, boxy tin robots that collectively became known in the toy hobby as the “Gang of Five.” The example auctioned by Milestone was one of only a handful of its type known to exist in such high condition. “Even the most advanced robot collection would not be considered complete without a Machine Man, so on the rare occasion that one becomes available to purchase—especially one as nice as the one we offered—it’s ...

The 1833 painting Lying Model (Liggende model) is considered one of the most famous Danish model studies.
NIVÅ.- A painting that has been attributed to Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand for nearly a century has been identified as the work of Adam Müller (1811–1844), a gifted but short-lived pupil of C.W. Eckersberg. The discovery, announced by Nivaagaards Malerisamling, is among the findings of new research that challenges established attributions and sheds light on the often-forgotten individuals who posed for artists during Denmark's 19th-century Golden Age. The painting, Liggende model (Reclining Model), was created in 1833 and is considered one of the most celebrated Danish studies of a live model. Depicting a reclining female nude viewed from behind, the work is distinguished by an unusually sensual treatment of the human body, contrasting with the more restrained academic conventions of its time. Art historian Jesper Svenningsen established the new attribution while researching his forthcoming book, En plads på podiet (A Place on the Podium), scheduled for publication by Aarhus Universit ...

Driven by a longstanding interest in geopolitics, Corbin Bishop’s practice is often conceptual, drawing extensively on archival imagery, including historical documents, maps and, in particular, postage stamps.
LONDON.- ‘One of the first things I ever bought was a globe. I was seven. My childhood was spent surrounded by symbols of nations: atlases, books of flags and maps of the world, which I would sketch. I learned every world capital, every flag, and collected as many currencies as possible. The work in this exhibition stems from that love of nations. It is a project that has been a focus for over 15 years: The Making of the Modern World, the postage stamp as the central element of reimagining the world through visual currency. Throughout this time, I read extensively to develop an understanding of Europe and the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire’s colonial history, and as the project advanced, my research informed new ideologies and ways of working. At the core of this is the notion that nationality and patriotism – whilst unifying in ways – are also drivers of extremism and the creation of ‘the other’. From an initial grouping, ‘The British Empire’ show at the Truma ... More

Accumulation gives each sculpture a distinct character.
SAO PAULO.- Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel presents Troca de segredos [Exchange of secrets], an exhibition of new sculptures and watercolors by Barrão at FDAG Jardins, in São Paulo. The works are assembled from porcelain fragments drawn from an inventory of ornaments and utilitarian objects collected from secondhand markets: conches, giant strawberries, elephants, owls, and other elements from a kitsch universe of household goods. Organized by color and motif in a kind of material library, these objects provide a ready-made palette of finishes and glazes. Working within this formal and chromatic repertoire, Barrão builds abstract structures whose branching contours and proliferating volumes suggest organic growth. Accumulation gives each sculpture a distinct character. Barrão frequently exposes the least recognizable sides of his source objects, bringing their anonymous surfaces into view and redirecting attention toward volume, contour, and silhouette. Recognition becomes intermittent: a familiar ... More

SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- MTA Arts & Design announced three major new commissions by acclaimed artists Ivan Forde, Trevor Paglen, and Howardena Pindell. Each will create a permanent, site-specific art installation for a different MTA station.

His artwork unfolds as a mythic bedtime stor ... More
LONDON.- In the summer of 2027, two connected paintings created four centuries apart will meet for the first time at the National Gallery. Monumental works made by Italian Renaissance artist Jacopo Bassano (1510–1592) and the American Abstract painter Helen Frankenthaler (1928–2011) will be united in the exhibition Frankenthaler and Bassano. Frankenthaler’s five-metre-wide Hint from Bassano (1973) will be displayed next to the painting that directly inspired it, Bassano’s The Flight into Egypt (about 1544–45) – an exceptional loan from the Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena (California). Throughout her career, Frankenthaler selected works by artists she admired as starting points for her own. These pictures were neither direct transcriptions nor simple variations, but free and highly personal responses to the art of the past. Recalling her first encounter with The Flight into Egypt, Frankenthaler explained: ‘I liked it so much that I wanted to copy it. […] In ... More
TAIPEI.- Taipei Fine Arts Museum presents Ryuichi Sakamoto / seeing sound, hearing time, the first large-scale exhibition in Taipei devoted to the late composer, music producer, and artist Ryuichi Sakamoto (1952–2023).

Internationally acclaimed as a musician, Ryuichi Sakamoto trained in classical piano and composition from childhood and earned bachelor’s and ... More
Jane Benson, Elm III, 2026, Graphite and ink transfer on archival Fabriano paper, hand painted acrylic on mat board & radiant iridescent acrylic, 62 x 45 in.
NEW YORK, NY.- her her debuts a major new series of monumental, mixed-media works by New York-based conceptual artist Jane Benson. Benson’s acclaimed practice spans drawing, sound, new media, and sculpture, often appropriating and unraveling existing literature and found objects. her her features a new series of text-based drawings that reframe Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as a lyrical exploration of womanhood and rage. Particularly urgent in the current moment, Benson’s work fragments and distorts legibility while amplifying Shelley’s singular voice. The works in her her are grounded in the chapters of Frankenstein narrated by the monster himself. Benson reads his narrative of self-creation and isolation as a parallel to Shelley’s own, situating the text within a larger feminist discourse. Monumentally scaled drawings on layers of translucent paper rework Shelley’s original manuscript into poetry, color, and sound. Each of these drawings is mounted on radiant iridescent ... More

Shota Nakamura debuts quiet, desaturated landscape paintings at Mendes Wood DM Brussels BRUSSELS.- Mendes Wood DM is presenting seven lakes, Shota Nakamura’s first solo presentation with the gallery and his first solo exhibition in Belgium. The show returns to the desaturated, dreamlike terrain of Nakamura, an artist who works as readily from memory as from observation. The Brussels space, with its fireplaces and separate rooms that distinguish it from a white cube, set Nakamura thinking about scale, and he has approached much of the exhibition through medium and small formats as an antimonumentalist choice. The choice plays on a dialectic built into a foundational premise of landscape painting: outdoor observation is returned to us, in miniature, to be viewed indoors. “With a small painting, you have to physically come closer to it,” he says. “Because of the scale, a very small mark or a slight shift in color can become surprisingly significant.” Throughout, Nakamura returns often to lakes and to clouds. Asked where his attachment to water comes from, he is ... More
Laura Carralero reinterprets 14th-century medieval frescoes in new Galleria Continua exhibition SAN GIMIGNANO.- GALLERIA CONTINUA is presenting Tempo Manifesto, the first solo exhibition in Italy by Cuban artist Laura Carralero, whose painterly practice explores the relationship between architecture, memory and the perception of space. Conceived specifically for GALLERIA CONTINUA's San Gimignano space, the exhibition brings together a group of previously unseen oil paintings on panel created between 2025 and 2026. The works emerge from the artist's engagement with the town's medieval heritage, particularly the frescoes by Memmo di Filippuccio in the Camera del Podestà of the Palazzo Comunale, alongside references to Bernardo Daddi and Ambrogio Lorenzetti. Carralero isolates architectural elements, canopies, textiles and ornamental motifs from these fourteenth-century images, removing them from their original narrative context and transforming them into autonomous forms that invite reflection on time and the construction of space. A single image can simultaneously contain different moments in tim ... More
Brooklin A. Soumahoro explores geometric abstraction in new exhibition at Mennour PARIS.- Onto what worlds do Brooklin A. Soumahoro’s Windows open? From the outset, the geometric abstractions brought together in this exhibition invite the gaze to an experience both optical and chromatic. Each canvas develops from a complex arrangement of repeated and combined triangular motifs, following a system of its own. The triangle is the elementary unit, the module from which the entire composition is built. This organisation is the result of extensive preparatory work. In pencil, Soumahoro constructs geometric structures, adjusting their proportions through precise mathematical calculations before exploring the many ways they can be combined. Yet this rigorous discipline gives rise to a state of instability that the artist calls “perfect unbalance”. The experience of Soumahoro’s painting truly begins where the most rigorous arrangement seems to give way to instability. The gaze no longer travels across the surface but crosses a threshold and plunges into its dept ... More
Naked ambition: The book that cemented Newton's global reputation, in a landmark international new edition NEW YORK, NY.- Some things age gracefully. Others refuse to behave. Fifty years on, Helmut Newton’s first publication, a book that elevated his name far beyond the pages of fashion magazines, returns in a landmark, international re-edition. First published under the titles White Women and Femmes secrètes in 1976, it brought together fashion, portraiture, and the erotic in a visual language that was cool, controlled, and unapologetically provocative. Here are the women: glamorous, commanding, seductive, and in control. Here are the clothes, cars, hotels, pools, bedrooms, and immaculate interiors. Here are the cultural icons of the time, from Paloma Picasso, Veruschka and Elsa Peretti to Karl Lagerfeld, David Hockney, and Charlotte Rampling. And here’s Newton, orchestrating it all with his famously sharp eye and subversive sense of humor. This 50th-anniversary edition preserves the source selection and sequence of photographs, alongside Newton’s own reflections and Philippe Garner’s ... More
Ippodo Gallery presents modern interpretations of Japanese kana script in 'Leaves of Words' NEW YORK, NY.- Ippodo Gallery is presenting Leaves of Words, on view October 30 to December 5, 2026. Three masters delve into modern interpretations of Japanese script in three unique materials: calligraphy written by Satoshi Nemoto, forged iron sculpted by Tsuneo Nakazawa, and raden lacquer inlaid with mother-of-pearl by Shinya Yamamura. "Japanese poetry takes the human heart as its seed and grows into myriad leaves of words." Preface to the Kokin Wakashū, the earliest kana anthology written by the author Ki no Tsurayuki c. 905. Kana emerged in the ninth century, when Japanese writers began abbreviating Chinese characters into a phonetic script of their own. In the Heian court, it flourished as the language of poetry and love letters—supple, cursive, and written in a single continuous breath; as much drawing as writing. A thousand years later, kana remains the writing of ordinary Japanese life while retaining its artistic origins. The exhibition features Nemoto's original works of calligra ... More

Sotheby's to offer extraordinary 1962 letter from Brian Jones recruiting Charlie Watts to The Rolling Stones NEW YORK, NY.- More than six decades after it was written, an extraordinary handwritten letter from Brian Jones to Charlie Watts, in which Jones attempts to recruit the drummer to join the fledgling group that would soon become The Rolling Stones, will be revealed to the public for the first time.
