ATHENS, GA.-The Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia presents “Edmonia Lewis: Said in Stone” this fall from August 8, 2026, to January 3, 2027. Referred to as a “must-see” exhibition by the Art Newspaper and “an act of reclamation” by Art in America, the first major retrospective exhibition of the work of the acclaimed 19th-century Black and Indigenous sculptor presents approximately 30 sculptures by Lewis from public and private collections across the United States and abroad. Additional objects in a range of media give visitors an opportunity to learn about Lewis’ mastery of marble and her remarkable life. “Edmonia Lewis: Said in Stone” is co-organized by the Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia and the Peabody Essex Museum. Major support is provided by the Terra Foundation for American Art, the Henry Luce Foundation ... More

LONDON.- Thaddaeus Ropac will present an exhibition dedicated to Georg Baselitz’s Hero paintings, bringing together key works from this breakthrough series of the artist’s formative years. Widely regarded as one of the defining achievements of his early career and a landmark in post-war European painting more broadly, the series established many of the visual motifs, concepts and existential themes that would go on to shape the trajectory of the artist’s practice. With loans from major institutional collections, including Tate, Landesmuseum fr Kunst, Museum Frieder Burda, Museum Kppersmhle Duisburg and Berlinische Galerie, as well as the artist’s family holdings and private collections, The Heroes is the first exhibition in the UK devoted exclusively to this body of work.

James at home surrounded by works of art due to be offered for sale by Sworders in October. Sworders.
LONDON.-Sworders is to sell works from the private collection of James Birch, the art dealer, curator gallerist and author who took Francis Bacon to Moscow in 1988, then two years later Gilbert & George to Moscow and China. He also gave Grayson Perry his first solo shows. The collection will be offered in 250 lots to form Day 1 of Modern and Contemporary sale to be held on 6 and 7 October. James Birch was brought up surrounded by art. His parents had met at Chelsea Art College (where his mother was taught by Henry Moore) and his first professional roles were at Christie's working first in the Old Master picture department and then as a specialist in Rock and Roll memorabilia. However, his defining years were as a pioneering dealer in British contemporary art. He opened his first gallery, James Birch Fine Art, on the King's Road in 1983. Headlining the collection is a series of works by Sir Grayson Perry. More than a dozen ... More
Pierre Knop, Portrait of shadows, 2026. Ink, acrylic, oil pastel and oil on canvas, 120 x 100 cm. 47 1/4 x 39 3/8 in.
LONDON.- Pilar Corrias is presenting Soft Spot, a thematic exhibition unfolding across two consecutive iterations at the gallery’s Savile Row space. The first instalment, on view from 26 June to 21 August 2026, features works by Sophie von Hellermann, Pierre Knop, Manuel Mathieu, Mary Ramsden, Rachel Rose, Tschabalala Self and Lina Iris Viktor. Soft Spot focuses on moments of yielding, where form loosens, surfaces bend and bodies twist, fragment and multiply. What emerges is not collapse but a charged instability, where forms give way and in doing so, become newly legible. Bringing together works that remain in states of transition rather than resolution, the exhibition explores the potential of malleability across material, image and figure. The first iteration features several new works created especially for the exhibition, including two new paintings by Mary Ramsden, ahead of the artist’s solo exhibition at Pilar Corrias opening in September 2026, alongside new paintings ...

Georges Clairin (Paris 1843–1919 Clohars-Carnot), Sarah Bernhardt as Tosca, pencil on paper, dedicated and signed lower left ‘ mon ami Dussart / G. Clairin’ and inscribed ‘croquis fait pendant une des rptitions / de la Tosca’, 33.5 19 cm (13 7 in.).
LONDON.- Long before Giacomo Puccini transformed Tosca into one of opera’s most enduring dramas, Sarah Bernhardt was already electrifying audiences as the jealous singer who kills the corrupt Baron Scarpia and ultimately leaps to her death from the Castel Sant’Angelo. A remarkable drawing by French artist Georges Clairin offers a rare glimpse of that earlier Tosca. Made during rehearsals for Victorien Sardou’s play in 1887, the sheet captures Bernhardt at the moment when her character, having stabbed Scarpia, turns the scene of violence into an improvised funeral ritual. It is a gesture familiar to generations of opera lovers. In Puccini’s second act, Tosca places candles beside Scarpia’s body and lays a crucifix on his chest before quietly leaving the room. The sequence has become one of the opera’s most memorable theatrical images. Yet Clairin’s drawing shows that the ritual ... More
Manuel lvarez Bravo (1902–2002), Diego Rivera (Smiling), c. 1929. Gelatin silver print, 8 x 10 cm. Mexico City Archivo Manuel lvarez Bravo SC, Cat. 26344
ROME.- More than 17,000 people have visited Diego Rivera and the Construction of Modern Art in Mexico in the 20th Century during its first two months at the Capitoline Museums’ Villa Caffarelli, organizers announced Monday, pointing to strong public interest in an exhibition that places Rivera within the broader development of Mexican modernism. The exhibition, which opened June 9 and continues through December 13, 2026, brings together more than 140 works, including 30 by Rivera, alongside paintings and other material by Frida Kahlo, Jos Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Jos Mara Velasco, Mara Izquierdo, Rufino Tamayo, Roberto Montenegro, Dr. Atl, Saturnino Herrn and other figures who helped shape Mexican art from the 19th into the 20th century. Rather than presenting Rivera as an isolated master, the exhibition examines the artistic, political and cultural environment from which his work emerged. It traces the development of a distinctly ... More

MEXICO CITY.- Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) and the Quintana Roo Aquifer System Research Center (CINDAQ) have formalized a partnership aimed at strengthening the study, documentation and conservation of archaeological sites hidden beneath the country’s caves, cenotes and other bodies of water. The agreement brings together the two organizations’ experience in underwater archaeology, cave exploration and digital documentation, turning more than two decades of collaboration into a formal institutional alliance. Through INAH’s Underwater Archaeology Department, the partnership will support research projects involving flooded caves, submerged cultural materials and archaeological sites that are often difficult to reach. For Roberto Junco Snchez, head of INAH’s Underwater Archaeology Department, the agreement recognizes a relationship developed through years of shared fieldwork, scientific cooperation and mutual trust. CINDAQ has played an import ... More
The story of the statuette stretches back to one of Switzerland’s significant early prehistoric excavations.
SCHAFFHAUSEN.- A tiny prehistoric sculpture carved from glossy black fossilized wood is returning to the place where it was discovered, more than half a century after entering the collection of the Museum der Kulturen Basel. The Canton of Basel-Stadt has agreed to transfer ownership of a rare Stone Age female figurine to Schaffhausen, bringing the 2.8-centimeter-tall object back into the cultural landscape from which it emerged. Despite its diminutive scale, the roughly 15,000-year-old figure is considered an important piece of evidence for prehistoric artistic activity in the region. Carved from jet — a deep-black form of fossilized wood sometimes known as pitch coal — the highly stylized female form was found at Schweizersbild, a major archaeological site on the outskirts of Schaffhausen. For Schaffhausen, the return is about more than recovering a single archaeological object. Schweizersbild occupies an important place in the canton’s understanding of its prehistoric past, and autho ... More

KASSEL.- The Fridericianum will present Charles Ray’s first institutional solo exhibition in Germany, on view from August 22, 2026, to January 3, 2027. Ray, one of the most important sculptors of his generation, was born in Chicago in 1953 and has lived in Los Angeles since 1981. For over five decades he has explored various disciplines, focusing on sculpture. His work has significantly expanded the potential range of sculpture through conceptual innovation and complex production methods, exploring sculptural structure, proportion, dimension, space, and mass. At the same time, his works reflect social life, consumer and media culture, and fundamental dimensions of human existence. Rather than devising a retrospective, Ray has opted to create an exhibition that responds to his historical relationship to the venue. The earliest work in the show is the group sculpture Oh! Charley, Charley, Charley… (1992), which he created for documenta 9. It is this work, ... More
Though modest in scale and consistent in composition, each painting presents a cloud that commands the picture plane as the singular presence of a sitter does, assuming the rank of a portrait.
NEW YORK, NY.- Nicola Vassell will present Blue, Na Kim's second solo exhibition with the gallery, which follows Portraits, curated by Dodie Kazanjian for Art&Newport. Bringing together a new body of work spanning three distinct series, the exhibition blurs the boundaries between traditional landscape and portraiture. Throughout the exhibition, painting emerges not simply as a mode of representation, but as an ongoing process of looking, discovering, and becoming. The act of observation—central to Kim's practice—first led her to capture the elusive, ever-changing nature of the human face. It is through this same perpetual attention, and through the lens of portraiture, that she also approaches landscape, focusing on the mutable form of the cloud. Though modest in scale and consistent in composition, each painting presents a cloud that commands the picture plane ... More

COPENHAGEN.- NILS STRK will return to Enter Art Fair with a wide-ranging presentation at Booth 37, bringing together 14 artists whose practices move between painting, sculpture, photography, installation and conceptual art. On view August 28–30, the presentation pairs established figures with emerging voices and draws connections between material experimentation, political critique, identity, perception and the ways contemporary artists rethink the objects and images that surround us. The presentation includes works by Ikram Abdulkadir, Gardar Eide Einarsson, Daro Escobar, Davide Hjort Di Fabio, FOS, Mads Gamdrup, Michael Kvium, Runo Lagomarsino, Rebecca Lindsmyr, Violeta Maya, Lea Porsager, Tove Storch, SUPERFLEX and Eduardo Terrazas. Rather than organizing the booth around a single medium or generation, NILS STRK brings together practices that approach contemporary life from markedly different directions. Some artists begin ...

Stefan Krten, Past Perfect, 2026, acrylic, ink and relief cut on wood, 27 1/2 x 19 3/4 inches.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- German painter Stefan Krten is known for depicting the domestic architecture of our dreams – rich with the promise of mid-century prosperity – yet uncannily depopulated, and in the surreal palette of a colorized film or in burnished gold and shadowy blacks. Luxurious, seductive and unsettling, these images of the “perfect home” explore the power of familiar-looking spaces to challenge the veracity of your memory: “Have I been here before? Do I know this place?” For the first time in his nearly 40-year career, the answer is “Yes.” Krten’s newest work shifts from imagined buildings to real, politically and culturally loaded ones: the White House, the New York Stock Exchange, the legendary Dakota Apartments and Chateau Marmont, and San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts. Classical rather than Modernist in style, these structures were designed to symbolize timelessness, solidity, prestige and entitlement. But they were inspired by the misper ... More

Delaware Art Museum to present solo exhibition of abstract painter Lisa Bradley WILMINGTON, DE.- The Delaware Art Museum will present Lisa Bradley: Beyond Luminosity, on view from September 19, 2026 through January 17, 2027. Organized by DelArt Head Curator and Curator of Contemporary Art Margaret Winslow and Art Bridges Fellow Hilda Delgado, this inspiring exhibition will introduce audiences to Bradley’s most recent body of work, on view for the first time in Beyond Luminosity. Lisa Bradley translates the mysterious into the physical with intimate marks and sweeping gestures. As an artist working within the field of abstraction, Bradley has contributed to its evolving history. Eminent art historian Carter Ratcliff describes her work as depicting “a pause between the pulses of some vast and luminous energy.” Her career is one that has endured beyond trends and common tropes, representing a breakthrough in the field of abstract ...

Harold Offeh to transform gallery into sci-fi playscape this autumn GLASGOW.- This autumn, Harold Offeh will transform our front gallery into a sci-fi playscape, creating collaborative encounters between audiences and artists. Co-commissioned with Baltic Gateshead, The Mothership Collective 2:0 will invite visitors of all ages to imagine potential futures by visiting stations throughout the exhibition, each one drawing on sci-fi, futurisms and utopian thinking. Using sound, text and objects, visitors will be encouraged to explore their creativity and have collaborative encounters that explore what different futures might look like. The project will revisit concepts the artist explored in The Mothership Collective at South London Gallery in 2006 which saw Offeh invite fellow artists, dancers and musicians to create work with members of the public inspired by ideas of Afrofuturist mythology in the music and performances of George Clinton ...

Emilija Škarnulytė transforms Lokremise into immersive landscape ST.GALLEN.- Emilija Škarnulytė transforms the Kunstmuseum St.Gallen Lokremise into an immersive, otherworldly landscape using film, light, and sculpture. The exhibition creates an experiential space in which science, fiction, and art intertwine against a vast cosmic backdrop, locating viewers somewhere between the technological present and a future that appears both promising and unsettling. Emilija Škarnulytė turns her attention to places where technological utopias, political histories, and planetary timescales overlap. A central point of reference for the exhibition, one of the locations where Škarnulytė filmed, is the decommissioned Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant in Lithuania, a sister plant to Chernobyl. In its abandoned control room, a python glides across the buttons and switches of the control panel—an image of haunting beauty in which nature, technology, ... More
MACS to showcase collaborative artwork and performance by De Keersmaeker and Fillet HORNU.- Earlier this year Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Steven Fillet presented work from their artistic collaboration for the first time at Xavier Hufkens Gallery in Brussels. This autumn a new chapter follows at MACS with Belle-le: a series of seven monumental paintings to be shown in the Salle Pont. Belle-le came into being in the autumn of 2024 on Belle-le-en-Mer, an island off the coast of Brittany. The project took the artists out of their familiar studio and into the open air, in a landscape that eludes control: open in character, in constant flux, and perpetually eluding itself. At the edge of the ocean a canvas five by twenty metres was laid out. A striking white field, abstract and pure, contrasting with the surrounding space where the excess of reality holds sway: water, wind, light… Those hundred square metres of white space – canvas and dance floor ...

David Diao, Li Yuan-chia and Chen Shiau-Peng rethink the legacy of Modernism TAIPEI.- Amid the noise of contemporary art today, we observe two contrasting yet equally troubling tendencies. One indulges in surface, sensation, and expression; the other replaces artistic inquiry with predetermined political positions. Although different in appearance, both share a common crisis: art increasingly loses its intellectual ambition, while artists forfeit the spiritual responsibility of confronting the world through their work. This exhibition emerges from such a moment to reconsider Modernism—not as a historical period or a visual style defined by abstraction, geometry, or Minimalism, but as a method of thinking. At its core, Modernism challenges artists to believe that art can continually redefine itself, pursuing an ideal that always remains just beyond reach. Without this aspiration, art risks becoming mere information, entertainment, or consumption ... More
Kunsthaus Baselland: First institutional solo exhibition by Basel-based artist and musician Yanik Soland BASEL.- The first institutional solo exhibition by Basel-based artist and musician Yanik Soland (b. 1990) is devoted to a multidisciplinary practice that spans sound, sculpture, and performance. At Kunsthaus Baselland, Soland has created a new exhibition that, for the first time, brings together his longstanding exploration of the intersections between sound, material, and space. It also asks how sound can be exhibited, how it can be made visible or experienced physically. Centered on a new composition titled Walking on Rubber Eggshells, Yanik Soland has created an immersive sonic landscape that unfolds across the entire upper floor of Kunsthaus Baselland, extending through all three galleries. Sustained tones, flute melodies, sub-bass frequencies, and passages of percussion form its primary material, while the reverberation ... More

On a day like today, American painter and sculptor Larry Rivers was born
August 17, 1923. Larry Rivers (born Yitzroch Loiza Grossberg; August 17, 1923 - August 14, 2002) was an American painter, musician, filmmaker, and occasional actor. Considered by many scholars to be the "Godfather" and "Grandfather" of Pop art, he was one of the first artists to merge non-objective, non-narrative art with narrative and objective abstraction. Between 1940 and 1945, he worked as a jazz saxophonist in New York City; he changed his name to Larry Rivers in 1940 after being introduced as "Larry Rivers and the Mudcats".
