FRANKFURT.- The Städel Museum announced the start of extensive conservation and restoration measures, supplemented by intensive scientific research, on one of the most important works in its collection: The Blinding of Samson (1636) by Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn. This monumental history painting, measuring over two metres in height and more than three metres in width, is one of the central masterpieces of European art history. Previous restorations and natural ageing processes have left their mark on the painting. The conservation and restoration measures now planned, which will take place over the next three to four years, offer a great opportunity to bring Rembrandt’s masterpiece back to life in all its depth and expressiveness. Philipp Demandt, Director of the Städel Museum: “Rembrandt’s The Blinding of Samson is a masterpiece of international standing and one of the key works in our collection of 17th-century Dutch pai ...

LONDON.-Marquee TV, the arts streaming platform known for bringing high-calibre cultural programming to global audiences, has announced four new original documentaries set to premiere this autumn and winter.

TURIN.- Mazzoleni presents Tracing Thought. 2002–2025, the first solo exhibition in Turin by Iran do Espírito Santo. The exhibition retraces over twenty years of the Brazilian artist’s career and features new site- specific works conceived specifically for the show. It unfolds in the grand rooms of the gallery’s main floor, creating an intimate dialogue with the architecture. An internationally renowned artist with works held in major collections including MAXXI in Rome, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, Espírito Santo conceived the Turin exhibition inspired by the architectural qualities of the gallery space. These characteristics allowed him to reflect on his practice over the past two decades, focusing on two key concepts at the heart of his research: light and scale. The symbolic path of Tracing Thought ... More

LONDON.- A first-of-its-kind study launched by Art Fund’s National Art Pass provides the most compelling scientific evidence to date that viewing art has immediate, measurable benefits for our health and wellbeing. Undertaken by King’s College London and co-funded by Art Fund, the UK’s national charity for museums and galleries, and the Psychiatry Research Trust, the study measured the physiological responses of participants while viewing masterpieces by world-renowned artists including Manet, Van Gogh and Gauguin in a gallery.

TURIN.- Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea presents Domani torno (I’m back tomorrow), a comprehensive retrospective dedicated to Enrico David (Ancona, 1966). Curated by Marianna Vecellio, the exhibition offers an in-depth overview of the artist’s practice, spanning painting, textile works, drawing, sculpture, and immersive installations, all exploring the inner dimensions of the contemporary human condition. Specifically conceived for the Manica Lunga at Castello di Rivoli, the exhibition unfolds through a dialogue between figuration and abstraction, focusing on the body as a metaphor for transformation. With a layout that evokes theatrical scenography and design displays, the exhibition retraces the key moments of David’s artistic production, including new works created for the occasion. Domani torno is both a personal and artistic journey: tracing David’s origins in Ancona to his move to London in 1986, the exhibition follows the development of a practice ... More
PARIS.- Developed in partnership with the Hébert Museum in La Tronche (Isère), where it will be hosted in the spring of 2026, the exhibition will also be presented at the French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici in the spring of 2027. Marie Robert, the exhibition's curator, was welcomed there as part of a joint residency between the Villa Medici and the Musée d'Orsay, conducting a year-long research project in the history of photography. The exhibition Who's Afraid of Women Photographers? (1839-1945) presented at the Musée d'Orsay and the Musée de l'Orangerie in 2015 was a milestone for recognition of women artists in France. One of the many photographers featured was Gabrielle Hébert (1853, Dresden, Germany - 1934, La Tronche, France). An amateur painter and the wife of artist Ernest Hébert, twice director of the French Academy in Rome, Gabrielle Hébert began photographing with great intensity ... More
PARIS.- Jeffrey Gibson’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and in France takes place at Hauser & Wirth’s Parisian outpost this Autumn. Celebrating the breadth of Gibson’s output, the exhibition features three new groups of paintings, ranging from large to intimate in scale, alongside new works from Gibson’s series of celebrated punching bags, hanging cloaks and beaded paintings as well as a new body of free-standing ceramic head sculptures. The title of the show, ‘This is dedicated to the one I love,’ is a call for empathy and a meditation on how we act and make in times of crisis. Over the past three decades, Gibson has developed a rich interdisciplinary practice that draws from American, Indigenous and queer histories as well as references to popular music, literature and art historical narratives. The artist’s distinctive visual language embraces a broad spectrum of cultural expressions and collaged identities in a way that is ... More

AARAU.- Klodin Erb (b. 1963) is one of the most important Swiss painters of our time. In 2022, she received the prestigious Prix Meret Oppenheim award in recognition of her artistic career spanning nearly three decades. The show at the Aargauer Kunsthaus is Klodin Erb’s largest institutional solo exhibition to date, and gives insight into the artist’s sensual, profound, and humorous oeuvre, which celebrates constant change and life itself. Klodin Erb’s art gets under the skin. Layer by layer, viewers dive into her fascinating pictorial worlds. These are both serious and funny, strong and fragile, sensual and reasoned. Klodin Erb’s work reveals diverse metamorphoses with a liberating effect: Neither human nor animal, neither man nor woman, neither young nor old—the characters in her paintings elude traditional thought patterns and categories. In her expressive, fantastic, and searching pictorial worlds, Klodin Erb explores the possibilities and limits of painting. Her p ... More

WASHINGTON, DC.- The Library of Congress has acquired a historical collection of amateur photographic prints from the Photographic Section of the Academy of Science and Art of Pittsburgh, one of the nation’s oldest continuously operating photography clubs.

WINTERTHUR.- The new One Another format sets up a lively dialogue between contemporary artists and works from the collection of Fotomuseum Winterthur – a collaborative exchange undertaken in a spirit of reciprocity. The title refers to encounters that give rise to a multilayered network of interrelationships, in which diversity and difference connect rather than divide. The series opens with Kara Springer, who was born in Barbados in 1980 and grew up in Canada. Her multimedia work, which ranges from photography and sculpture to site- specific installations, deals with power structures and the constructedness of historical narratives. She frequently focuses on diasporic experiences and the interplay between human interventions in nature and the impact they have on us. Springer’s works are shown alongside a selection of pieces from the collection of Fotomuseum Winterthur that have a thematic or aesthetic resonance with them ... More

Cineteca Madrid dives deep in November: Pasolini's soul and the scariest tech futures MADRID.- Cineteca Madrid is setting the stage for a November that promises to be both a passionate remembrance and a look into a disquieting future. The city's dedicated film hub will honor the 50th anniversary of the passing of legendary Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini while simultaneously launching a provocative new series, "Rare Futures," exploring how technology is reshaping—and sometimes distorting—our present reality. It’s a month dedicated to thinking of cinema as both a living memory and a laboratory for what’s next. Fifty years ago, on November 2, 1975, the world lost Pier Paolo Pasolini—poet, essayist, and cinematic rebel. His life and work were an urgent act of moral insurrection, an unyielding space where the sacred and the political clashed with a raw, uncompromising honesty. Cineteca Madrid is commemorating this half-century mark with two special ... More

New York gallery puts Magritte's dreams in dialogue with Les Lalanne's sculptural fantasy NEW YORK, NY.- Di Donna and Ben Brown Fine Arts are presenting Magritte and Les Lalanne: In the Mind’s Garden, a major exhibition on view at Di Donna’s Madison Avenue gallery. The exhibition brings together the visionary worlds of René Magritte, François- Xavier and Claude Lalanne (known collectively as Les Lalanne)—artists who did not merely depict the natural world but reimagined it as a fertile landscape of poetic foresight and surreal transformation. In the Mind’s Garden is the first exhibition to place Magritte and Les Lalanne in direct dialogue. Featuring over 50 paintings, works on paper, and sculpture drawn from important private collections, it invites viewers into a world where nature is not fixed but fluid—shaped by vision, memory, and invention.

Alina Grasmann's paintings blend Richard Neutra architecture with spiritual memory at Fridman Gallery NEW YORK, NY.- Alina Grasmann’s magical-realist paintings explore modernist architecture, blending the formal qualities of specific sites with their history. The light-filled lived environments become chamber-play stages for reflections on memory and transience, inviting viewers to step inside and become part of the scene. Grasmann’s new body of work, House of the Spirits, depicts the Neutra House, designed and built in Los Angeles in 1932 by Austrian-American architect Richard Neutra. The series debuted at a museum in Germany, Brühler Kunstverein, in May 2025. House of the Spirits explores memory as a fluid, non-linear presence that overlays the current moment, akin to Japanese folkloric spirits that linger in spaces, sometimes visible only in shadows or reflections, tethered to the world by memory. The Neutra House becomes a site of simultaneity, ... More
