FRANKFURT.- Max Beckmann created his work in a world marked by crises and upheavals, transforming his experiences of this into a visual language that remains fascinating to this day. The most intimate part of his oeuvre are his drawings: like a diary, they document his artistic development, serving as a medium for observation and for creating imagery. The Städel Museum is now putting these works centre stage and presenting some eighty pieces from all phases of his career—from little-known drawings to outstanding major works. They offer a direct and intense insight into the life and work of Max Beckmann (1884–1950), one of the most important artists of the modern era. ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- The Museum of Modern Art announced Frida and Diego: The Last Dream, an exhibition of key works from MoMA’s collection by Frida Kahlo (1907– 1954) and Diego Rivera (1886–1957), on view from March 29 through September 12, 2026. The exhibition is presented in conjunction with the Metropolitan Opera’s premiere of El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego (May 14–June 5, 2026). The opera, by Grammy Award– winning composer Gabriela Lena Frank and Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Nilo Cruz, is a mythical exploration of Frida and Diego’s profound relationship with their art and each other. For the exhibition, MoMA has invited Jon Bausor, the stage set and co-costume designer of the ... More
PARIS.- The Musée d’Orsay has announced an exceptional series of new acquisitions, marking one of the most ambitious collection expansions in its recent history. In 2025 alone, the museum completed nearly sixty acquisition projects, adding close to 1,000 works to its holdings. Seven of these newly acquired pieces—ranging from painting and photography to decorative arts, archival letters, and rare drawings—are now being presented to the public, offering a vivid snapshot of the museum’s evolving vision and curatorial ambition. Together, the works highlight the breadth of the Musée d’Orsay’s collections and its commitment to a multidisciplinary understanding of art, history, and visual culture from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Among the most striking additions is Three ... More

MADRID.- The National Archaeological Museum in Madrid has opened a landmark exhibition that places Indigenous women at the heart of Mexico’s cultural history—an area long overlooked in traditional narratives of the past. Titled The Human Sphere, the exhibition forms part of the larger international project Half the World: Women in Indigenous Mexico, and brings together nearly 250 works, some of which are being shown outside Mexico for the first time. After a preview in late October, the full exhibition is now open to the public, offering an immersive and deeply human look at women’s lives in Indigenous societies from pre-Hispanic times to the present. The Madrid museum is one of four venues participating in the ambitious project, which unfolds across the city and collectively presents more than 435 objects of exceptional artistic and historical value. At the exhibition’s opening, Spain’s Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, emphasized ... More
LONDON.- Diane Arbus: Sanctum Sanctorum, an exhibition of forty-five photographs made in private places across New York, New Jersey, California, and London between 1961 and 1971, is on view at David Zwirner, London, from 6 November 2025 to 17 January 2026, and will travel to Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco in spring 2026. The exhibition is accompanied by a comprehensive monograph reproducing all works in the exhibition, jointly published by both galleries. Through her singular combination of intelligence, charisma, intuition, and courage, Diane Arbus was frequently invited into homes and other private realms seldom seen by strangers. Though made in intimate settings, her photographs evidence no sense of intrusion or trespass. Instead, they reveal an unspoken exchange between photographer and subject, a moment of recognition in which confidences emerge freely and without judgment. ... More
Adrien Meyer, Global Head-Private Sales & Co-Chairman-Impressionist & Modern Art, sells the top lot of The Collection of Robert F. and Patricia G Ross Weis, Mark Rothko's No. 31 (Yellow Stripe) for $62.1M at Christie's New York, November 2025.
NEW YORK, NY.- Christie’s is closing 2025 on a strong note, projecting $6.2 billion in global sales, up 6% year-on-year, as renewed confidence returns across the international art and luxury markets. The second half of the year proved especially robust, with sales rising 26% compared to the first half, underscoring what the auction house describes as a broad-based recovery in demand across categories and platforms. Bonnie Brennan, who took on the role of Chief Executive Officer in February, characterized the year as a turning point. “The energy has returned to the saleroom, online, and across the market,” she said. “We’ve seen renewed confidence worldwide, reflected in these outstanding results. A solid first half was followed by an even more ... More
Luiz Zerbini, Coqueiro, 2025. Acrylic on canvas, 35 x 25 cm. 13.78 × 9.84 in.
SAO PAULO.- Luiz Zerbini in Conversation with Frank Walter, the inaugural exhibition at Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel’s new space in São Paulo, curated by Barbara Paca, presents an unprecedented dialogue between small-format landscape paintings by Brazilian artist Luiz Zerbini and Antiguan artist Frank Walter (1926–2009). Masters of atmosphere in their own distinct ways, both artists reveal a deep engagement with memory, perception, and the porous boundaries between human and nonhuman environments. Light, color, and gesture converge to articulate time, place, and vision, expanding the language of landscape beyond its conventional frames. For Walter, landscape was a lifelong companion in his travels across Antigua, the Caribbean, and Europe. His small-scale paintings capture the shifting moods of different geographies with an eye attuned to both detail and atmosphere. Filtering these experiences through memory, his works distill the essence of places encountered, transforming them into me ... More
PARIS.- With over 35,000 drawings, the Centre Pompidou’s Graphic Arts Department houses one of the world’s largest collections of works on paper from the 20th and 21st centuries. This collection, exceptional in its richness and diversity, has never been the subject of an exhibition of this scale. The Drawing Unlimited exhibition at the Grand Palais thus offers an opportunity to reveal the priceless treasures in this collection for the first time, providing a unique insight into how this medium was totally reinvented during the 20th century. Many artists have embraced this original and cathartic form of expression in order to push the boundaries of art. Beyond the sheet of paper or traditional sketchbook, drawing has taken over walls and installations. It has opened up to new practices, extending its scope to other forms of expression, including photography, film, and digital media, making its ... More
Rita Fischer, Untitled, 2025. Tempera on wood panel 110 x 140 cm. Courtesy of the artist and Xippas.
PUNTA DEL ESTE.- Xippas Punta del Este presents Open Skies, an exhibition that brings together the most recent works by Rita Fischer. This new solo show at the gallery includes works produced on multiple supports—wood panels, paper, and, in her most recent pieces, a return to the traditional canvas on stretcher. These paintings continue to explore spaces of ambiguity and uncertainty. Although certain visual elements or the presence of some forms may suggest a renewed possibility of representing nature, the landscape, or the density of the native forest, once again nothing truly seems to confirm that figurative intent. All that exuberant unfolding of forms and colors never quite crystallizes into elements that might suggest a narrative we could somehow unravel or analyze. These works seem to fold in on themselves, absorbing every word that attempts to describe them, while at the same time projecting a kind of beauty that language is incapable of articulating. Though the artist continues to explore ... More
Carl Grossberg, Selbstbildnis, 1ç28, Privatsammlung.
WUPPERTAL.- The Von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal has unveiled its 2026 programme, and it is one that looks both sharply at the past and directly at the present. With two major exhibitions scheduled across the year, the museum is setting out to revisit overlooked artistic positions while also addressing questions that feel increasingly urgent in today’s visually saturated world. The year opens with Carl Grossberg. matter-of-fact – magical – visionary, on view from 22 March to 30 August 2026, a long-overdue retrospective of one of the most compelling figures of New Objectivity. Grossberg, born in what is now Wuppertal and active primarily in the interwar period, produced a remarkably focused body of work over just two decades before his death in 1940. His paintings—marked by precision, restraint, and an almost photographic clarity—engage deeply with architecture, industry, and the promises and anxieties of technological progress. This exhibition, the first comprehensive ret ... More
Raisa Raekallio & Misha del Val, N. E. Walzing with Their Finnish Girlfriend, 2025. Oil on linen, 63 x 51 cm. 24 3/4 x 20 1/8 in.
HELSINKI.- Raisa Raekallio and Misha del Val have painted together for over a decade. Their collaboration is grounded in deep trust and mutual attentiveness – an atmosphere that allows both to express themselves freely, unbound by predefined roles or limitations. Their works emerge from a shared space where each voice is heard. For them, the studio is not only a place of work but a site of community, where trust and dialogue merge into a single creative process. Rather than diminishing their individuality, collaboration amplifies their respective strengths, giving rise to a unique shared reality. The painting process unfolds as a dialogue not only between the two artists, but also with the work itself: together, they listen to what the painting wishes to say, following where it leads. Gradually, each work begins to reveal its own character, and the artists respond sensitively to its guidance. For ... More
Barbara Wesołowska, “Utterance”, 2025. Oil, shellac, gold leaf on linen, 86 1/2 x 70 3/4 inches, 220 x 179.5 cm.
LONDON.- Michael Werner Gallery, London is presenting Empty Night, an exhibition of new paintings by London-based painter Barbara Wesołowska (b. 1984 in Wrocław, Poland). Driven by impulse and intuition, Wesołowska paints with the intention of summoning an image, most often a figure, to the canvas. Wesołowska’s painting ritual involves “tricks” that she compares to alchemy, as she fervently searches for the right elements to guide her through the work. When the figure eventually arrives, the moment is potent, emotionally charged, and infused with a sense of hope. The theories of Sigmund Freud offer a framework for Wesołowska’s process and a lens through which to view her paintings. Many of the titles of the works in the exhibition are words drawn from Freud’s writings. Wesołowska randomly chooses words and phrases that are not overly descriptive but still resonate. ... More

Mumbai Gallery Weekend 2026: A city-wide constellation of contemporary art MUMBAI.- Mumbai Gallery Weekend (MGW) returns in 2026 for its 14th edition, reaffirming its role as one of India’s most dynamic platforms for contemporary art. Unfolding across the city from 8 January, this year’s edition brings together galleries presenting focused exhibitions that span material experimentation, historical inquiry, social engagement, and deeply personal artistic vocabularies. As is tradition, galleries reserve some of their strongest exhibitions for MGW, transforming Mumbai into a walkable, immersive cultural landscape. A notable shift marks this edition: galleries will open at 12 pm, rather than the evening openings of earlier years, and will remain open through Sunday, 11 January—the only Sunday of the year when all participating galleries open simultaneously. The change underscores MGW’s growing emphasis on accessibility, encouraging ... More
Ezra Johnson maps American suburbia through layered painting and sculpture NEW YORK, NY.- Freight+Volume will present Ezra Johnson’s Home and Garden Show, featuring a new group of paintings and sculpture by Ezra Johnson. The title alludes to the home improvement lifestyle - indoor and outdoor - and the labor involved. These paintings are primarily set in Tampa, FL, where swamp, jungle and suburb overlap and where the artist lives. They are in conversation with many recent and past American painters such as McEneaney, Porter, Neel, Freilicher and others. Johnson begins each work with direct observation from life, followed by a laborious (and sometimes chaotic) studio process of revision and overpainting. Monsters Live in Your Head is comprised of 21 facades of suburban American homes; in front of each home appears a simple signboard posting a letter. The collective effect spells the title: Monsters Live in Your Head. The ... More
Fridman Gallery's Sanctuary confronts the psychological and political realities of displacement NEW YORK, NY.- Fridman Gallery announced Sanctuary, a group exhibition examining root causes and psychological effects of displacement. The exhibition title refers to “sanctuary cities”, including New York, which are supposed to afford legal protection for immigrants, and, in a more general sense, to sanctuaries as physical and emotional safe spaces. In recent years, the world has experienced unprecedented interconnectedness brought about by online communications, climate change, and the COVID pandemic. Seemingly, we are more networked and closer, more aware of technological and biological ties and risks that have universal effects., We have more access to information about global suffering than ever before, yet it has not translated into deeper empathy. Instead, we remain largely unmoved by the pain of others unless the threat directly touches ... More
Photography slows down at Chaumont-sur-Loire, where nature becomes a sensory dialogue CHAUMONT-SUR-LOIRE.- In an era of instantaneous images in a never-ending flow, there are some artists who prefer patience, attention and detours. They aim their lens at that which is not so evident, seeking to capture a prying light, a passing breath or an emerging memory. For them, nature is neither setting nor subject — it is the partner in a dialogue of the senses. It all starts with an apparition. Alone in the middle of a salt flat, a soft, fragile, white form seems to emerge as if from a dream. Elina is an ephemeral sculpture created by Guillaume Barth in the heart of Salar de Uyuni, in the highlands of Bolivia, and on display at the Donkey Stables. The work rises up from the silence and gives birth to a series of images combining infinite landscape, immaculate light and the symbolic density of a gesture. In the south wing of the château and in a very different register, but ... More
Pernod Ricard Foundation stages France's first institutional exhibition of Beatrice Bonino PARIS.- The Pernod Ricard Foundation is presenting the first institutional exhibition in France dedicated to artist Beatrice Bonino, developed in close collaboration with Catherine David, art historian and guest curator. Beatrice Bonino’s artistic practice centers on forgotten fragments and overlooked or barely perceptible materials, which she patiently assembles into delicate, unexpected sculptures. Humble objects—juxtaposed, wrapped, or bound together—become signs of a mysterious language that only reveals itself to those willing to take the time to truly see. Her work invites slowness and attention, a willingness to approach, to accept opacity and fragility. In dialogue with curator Catherine David, Bonino also brings her sculptural vocabulary into conversation with historical works, notably those by Lutz Bacher, Gianni Colombo, Giuseppe Desiato, Marisa Merz, and Dieter ...

Fondation H presents Roméo Mivekannin's Correspondances, weaving memory, colonial archives, and repair ANTANANARIVO.- Fondation H presents Correspondances, a solo exhibition by Roméo Mivekannin, on view from October 24, 2025, to March 21, 2026. The French-Beninese artist, invited to create an exhibition in dialogue with Malagasy history, territory, and culture, explores historical narratives, colonial representations, and spiritual transmissions within the local context. The exhibition occupies Fondation H’s upper floor for five months, in Antananarivo, Madagascar. The title Correspondances stands as a key interpretative lens for Roméo Mivekannin’s solo exhibition at Fondation H. For this project, the artist refers to colonial postcards—both intimate and ideological objects—which he critically reappropriates through textile painting. The ... More
Rituals and realities: FREELENS Young Professionals take over World in a Room BERLIN.- At the heart of this exhibition are the transformative forces that shape our lives. They connect the visible with the invisible and the rational with the paradoxical. How can connections emerge, and where does the search for belonging lead to tensions? Where do the magic and absurdity of everyday life reveal themselves? FREELENS Young Professionals and photographers from the Hamburg Portfolio Review examine the rituals, contradictions, and hidden forces that shape our human existence. Through fragmentary approaches and visual narratives of the work of Andrea Duran, Oded Wagenstein, and Doro Zinn, the exhibition becomes a dialogue about the complexity of human life. It is an invitation to discover new perspectives, question social realities, and embrace the multifaceted nature of our shared existence. ... More
The Museum of Modern Art announces Samora Pinderhughes: Call and Response NEW YORK, NY.- The Kravis Studio hosts Call and Response, an exhibition of new work and live performances by composer, filmmaker, and artist Samora Pinderhughes. His multidisciplinary practice addresses structural violence through sonic layering, choral performance, film projection, and audio testimonial. Relying on improvisation and collaboration, Pinderhughes centers performance as a communal practice that can facilitate healing in the face of oppression, racism, and incarceration. Pinderhughes is the 2025 Adobe Creative Resident at MoMA and the artistic and executive director of the Healing Project, a community arts organization that works directly with individuals impacted by the prison industrial complex to imagine a world based around healing rather than punishment. While in residence at MoMA, Pinderhughes has expanded on this project to develop ... More
Making pain visible: Sven Johne confronts militarized bodies at KLEMM'S BERLIN.- Some time ago, I read the book The Body in Pain by American author Elaine Scarry, a classic on war, violence, and language. In her findings the goal and result of war is the destruction, injury, and mutilation of bodies, yet pain is removed from language and imagination in public discourses on war. War and violence are described in abstract terms, using words such as “defense, comradeship, honor, fatherland, military capability.” Reports on the progress of the front lines and territorial gains omit what war figures. Scarry writes that the only reason why people accept and even justify war in the first place is the fact that the body and its pain are turned invisible. Body in Pain was published in 1985 but still carries relevance today. When I saw Sven Johne’s Hochdruckversuch/Tiefbohrung (High Pressure Experiment/Deep Drilling) for the first time, I was reminded ... More
bitforms gallery presents Freedom, tracing Analivia Cordeiro's five decades of movement and code NEW YORK, NY.- bitforms gallery is presenting Freedom, a solo exhibition by pioneering artist Analivia Cordeiro, whose groundbreaking practice has shaped the dialogue between movement and computation for over five decades. As one of the earliest artists to integrate the language of dance with the logic of software, A. Cordeiro investigates how the body functions simultaneously as subject and interface within systems of digital mediation. From the outset of her career, A. Cordeiro has centered a sense of freedom in her work—initially offering dancers in the 1970s and 80s the ability to interpret choreography individually, and later extending that agency to audiences through interactive formats from the 2000s onward. This ongoing pursuit of freedom challenges the structured logic of computational systems. Her early experiments with plotters and computers anticipated ... More
