Large Yokuts Polychrome Coiled Basket, Rattlesnake Motif. Estimate: $8,000 - $12,000
BOULDER, COLO.- A monumental California basket woven with patterns recalling the markings of a rattlesnake, an ancestral Puebloan bird vessel, a rare Mississippian portrait pot and the fossilized remains of creatures that inhabited the Earth millions of years before humans are among the highlights of Artemis Fine Arts and Arte Primitivo’s September 15 auction. Bringing Native American material into dialogue with fossils, meteorites and other natural-history specimens, the sale creates an unusual journey through time — from objects shaped by Indigenous hands and traditions to evidence of animals and cosmic events that predate human history altogether. The auction forms the first half of a two-day collaboration between Artemis Fine Arts and Arte Primitivo. Day 1 focuses on Pre-Columbian and Native ... More |

Hans Op de Beeck Cécile & Seascape, 2026 & 2022. Cécile, 2026. Life-sized sculpture. Mixed media. Seascape, 2022. Polyester.
BRUSSELS.- Almine Rech Brussels is presenting 'Vanishing Point,' Hans Op de Beeck’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from September 10 to November 7, 2026. In a world saturated with images, speed, and constant distraction, the work of Hans Op de Beeck offers something that today seems almost radical: silence. His installations, sculptures, films, and drawings do not loudly demand attention; rather, they slowly draw the viewer into meticulously constructed universes where time appears suspended and meaning unfolds gradually. To look at an Op de Beeck work is less to observe a work of art than to enter a mental space where memory, desire, and imagination converge. His pieces seem frozen in a precise instant; objects remain abandoned yet intact, while narratives hover somewhere just beyond reach. His art does not explain—it suggests. It does not seek to overwhelm; instead, it continues to resonate long afterwards. One fruitful way of approaching this artistic universe is thr ... More |

Norman Lewis survey at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery explores the influence of music |
Danshuis is a project of the Droom en Daad Foundation. Founded in 2016, it is helping redefine Rotterdam for the 21stcentury – developing new kinds of arts and culture institutions and fostering new creative talent that reflects the city’s diversity, its spirit and its history.
ROTTERDAM.- Detailed designs by the internationally acclaimed Chinese architects, MAD, were revealed today for the new Danshuis in Rotterdam. Situated on a landmark site in the historic dock area of Rotterdam, adjacent to the recently opened Fenix museum of migration, also designed by Ma Yansong/MAD, the new Danshuis is planned to open in 2030. Danshuis will be the largest centre for the production and development of dance of all styles under one roof in Europe, open to all ages and levels of experience, and providing the best facilities for the creation of professional and amateur dance programmes. The designs will transform the 9,500 square metres art deco building, a former warehouse dating from 1923 on the south bank of the River Maas in central Rotterdam. Features will include fourteen state-of-the-art dance studios, an ... More |

Installation view, Thomas Ruff, jpegs ny, David Zwirner, New York, 2026.
NEW YORK, NY.- David Zwirner is presenting an important group of photographs by Thomas Ruff at the gallery’s 533 West 19th Street location in New York. Featuring images from jpegs ny, a subset of the artist’s larger jpegs series, the twelve works on view are derived from images of the World Trade Center attacks in New York on September 11, 2001. Coinciding with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the attacks, this exhibition was conceived by the artist as a commemoration of that day. Prior to the exhibition in New York, this group of works was also on view as part of Unlimited at Art Basel 2026. Ruff was in New York on September 11, 2001, and he shot numerous photographs documenting that day and its aftermath, but when he returned home to Germany several days later he realized there were no images on his camera. Three years later, in 2004, the event was still front of mind for the artist. Seeking an appropriate artistic response to tragedy on such an unimaginable ... More |

Norman Lewis (1909–1979), Jumping Jive, 1942, oil on canvas, 16 1/8 x 30 inches / 41 x 76.2 cm, signed.
NEW YORK, NY.- Michael Rosenfeld Gallery is presenting Norman Lewis: Jumping Jive, the gallery’s seventh solo exhibition dedicated to the work of Norman Lewis (1909–1979). Featuring paintings and drawings representative of Lewis’ over four-decade career, the exhibition highlights the vital role music—from jazz and blues to classical, pop, and reggae—played in the artist’s life and practice. An important thematic and conceptual throughline in Lewis’ oeuvre, music appears in early figurative depictions of bands and jazz clubs, in later abstract compositions that variously recall music notes or pulsing soundwaves, and in titular references to songs, lyrics, or musical icons. As Lewis increasingly embraced abstraction in the mid-1940s, the intuitive, riff-based method of jazz composition guided his approach to painting. This focused survey of Lewis’ diverse body of work not only evidences the inspiration the artist gleaned from music but also reveals how his unders ... More |

F-117 Nighthawk "The Overachiever" sits inside a hangar during Operation Desert Shield in 1991. This aircraft is in the Museum's collection.
WASHINGTON, DC.- The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum is welcoming a Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, the world’s first true operational stealth combat aircraft, into the national collection. This remarkable aircraft will be transferred to the museum by the U.S. Air Force. It was prepared for its public display by the team at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works, and the U.S. Air Force Reserve’s 512th Airlift Wing will transport the F-117 from the Skunk Works’ facility to Dulles International Airport in Virginia aboard a C-5 Galaxy cargo plane. The Nighthawk will be displayed at the museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia, in late October. This donation was announced today at the Air & Space Forces Association's Air, Space & Cyber Conference in National Harbor, Maryland. The F-117’s stealth gave it unique capabilities to penetrate undetected into enemy territory and launch attacks taking out key strategic targets or disabling anti-airc ... More |

Daniel Jorge, Bússola leste (from the Era do Escambo series), 2026, carved soapstone with insertion of an oxidized metal point, 51 x 13 x 26 cm.
SÃO PAULO.- Mendes Wood DM is presenting Cantaria, Daniel Jorge’s first solo exhibition in São Paulo. Held in the Barra Funda warehouse, the exhibition brings together previously unseen works, including sculptures, wall reliefs, installations, and performance, and is accompanied by an essay by the curator and researcher Carlos Quijon Jr. The exhibition’s title refers to the craft of the stonemason – the technical expertise of stone carving – which the artist has mastered. The word also evokes a song, as in the ritualistic and labor-related sounds that accompany the carver. It is from this intersection of hand and voice, precision and improvisation, that Jorge’s practice takes shape. In his works, the material does not arrive on its own, but is accompanied by the labor, the exchanges, and the stories that brought it there. Born in Recreio, in the countryside of Minas Gerais, raised in Curumau, in Rio de Janeiro’s west zone, and now based in Salvador, Jorge works with w ... More |

ROME.- More than twenty-five years after Rome last hosted a major exhibition devoted to Vassily Kandinsky, the Russian-born pioneer of abstraction is returning to the Italian capital in a sweeping retrospective at Palazzo Bonaparte. Opening September 15, 2026 and continuing through February 14, 2027, the exhibition brings together more than seventy works from international museums and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, whose Kandinsky holdings are among the most important in the world. Produced and organized by Arthemisia in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou and curated by Angela Lampe, curator of the modern collections at the Musée national d’art moderne, the exhibition follows Kandinsky’s development from his early figurative work to the radical experiments that helped reshape modern painting.

Anthony McCall, Skylight, 2020. Vertical, single projection, soundtrack by David Grubbs, media player, digital file, digital projector, audio speakers, haze machine, duration: 16 minutes (looped).
NEW YORK, NY.- Sean Kelly is presenting Solid Light, 1973, 2020, 2026, Anthony McCall’s seventh solo exhibition with the gallery. Bringing together three significant works spanning over fifty years of the artist’s career, the exhibition traces the remarkable evolution of McCall’s pioneering solid light works, from his groundbreaking Line Describing a Cone, 1973 to Skylight, 2020 and the debut of his newest work Swarm, 2026. The exhibition reveals the sustained rigor with which McCall has redefined the possibilities of sculpture, drawing, cinema, and sound, to create groundbreaking immersive environments. Anthony McCall is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists working with light and moving image. Emerging from the avant-garde film communities in London and New York during the late 1960s and early 1970s, he rejected the conventions of narrative cinema in favor of an investigation into the essential properties of film ...

The offerings include nearly 200 exceptional photographs, lovingly assembled by the famed designer over the course of nearly half a century.

The collection holdings represent a vast range of subject matters and genres, ... More Andy Warhol retrospective brings Pop Art, personal memories and rare documents to Rome
ROME.- Andy Warhol’s unmistakable images of celebrities, consumer goods and popular culture are at the center of a major retrospective now open at La Vaccheria in Rome, where the exhibition Andy Warhol – Forever Love brings together artworks, photographs, documents and personal memories to explore both the public icon and the man behind one of the twentieth century’s most influential artistic identities.

TORONTO.- This fall at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto artist Brian Groombridge (b. 1953) opened a solo exhibition of prints and sculptures from 1989-2021. Brian Groombridge: New Models for Measurement is curated by the AGO’s Associate Curator of Canadian Art, Renée van der Avoird and features six new acquisitions, alongside loans from the artist's studio and a private collection. Born in Sarnia, Ontario, Groombridge has applied a poetic, philosophical approach to human knowledge systems since he started his artistic practice in the 1970s. Inspired by cosmology, geography and art history, he often references tools from graphic design, carpentry, and surveying in his prints, sculptures and installation works. Featuring 12 works made between 1989-2021, New Models for Measurement is Groombridge’s first-ever solo exhibition at the AGO. The works ... More Tada Minami retrospective at Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo highlights 70 years of innovation
TOKYO.- The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo is presenting a major solo exhibition of Tada Minami (1924–2014), a leading abstract artist whose work spans sculpture, design, and architecture in postwar Japan. Tada, who produced approximately 200 sculptural pieces and 500 works integrated into architectural spaces over the course of her career, extended her practice far beyond the confines of the museum, leaving her creations in a wide range of urban spaces—including parks, railway stations, city halls, hotels, and theaters—where they have formed an integral part of people’s everyday life over many years. Her body of work, varying widely in both material and scale, includes stainless-steel sculptures that appear to shapely rise skyward, glass and acrylic works that harmonize with surrounding landscapes, and “Illuminated Walls” that contain richly colored ... More Bergen Kunsthall presents its autumn 2026 program
BERGEN.- For more than two decades, Sung Hwan Kim (b. 1975, Seoul; lives and works in Honolulu) has developed a distinctive artistic practice that intertwines video, music, storytelling, performance, drawing, sculpture, and architecture. The exhibition at Bergen Kunsthall builds upon "Protected by Roof and Right-Hand Muscles," the largest European survey of Kim's work to date. The exhibition was first shown at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and was originally curated by Yolande Zola Zoli van der Heide. Original concept by Sung Hwan Kim. The exhibition is developed in partnership with Framer Framed, Amsterdam, the Netherlands and ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Germany.

More Man Ray retrospective in Parma brings together more than 300 works across photography, painting, film and design
PARMA.- Man Ray spent his life resisting the idea that an artist should belong to a single medium. He photographed what he did not want to paint, painted what could not be photographed, turned ordinary objects into unsettling sculptures, made experimental films and continually revisited his own inventions. That restless approach to art is at the heart of Man Ray: Everything, opening September 12 at the Villa dei Capolavori, home of the Fondazione Magnani-Rocca near Parma. Bringing together more than 300 photographs, paintings, sculptures, objects, graphic works, books and films, the exhibition is described as the most comprehensive retrospective ever devoted to Man Ray in Italy. It coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of the artist’s ... More Christie's celebrates 60 years of Wines & Spirits, opening with The Cellar of the Hon. Henry Tang
HONG KONG.- Opening the celebrations of Christie’s Wines and Spirits Department’s 60th Anniversary this year, Christie’s presents The Cellar of the Hon. Henry Tang, a dedicated live auction taking place on 10 October 2026 at Christie’s Asia Pacific headquarters at The Henderson in Hong Kong. This landmark single-owner auction comes nearly six decades after Christie’s held its inaugural wine auction on 11 October 1966 in London, a pioneering moment that helped shape the modern fine wine auction market and laid the foundations for the world’s first standalone wine department. Six decades on, Christie’s continues to connect collectors across continents and generations, with the private collection of the Honourable Mr Henry Tang leading the anniversary celebrations in Hong Kong, with further anniversary sales in New York and London to be announced. ... More Fortes D'Aloia & Gabriel presents Tadáskía solo exhibition espírito jardim humana
RIO DE JANEIRO.- Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel presents espírito jardim humana, Tadáskía’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition brings together a new body of work. Grounded in memory and imagination, the works contribute to the construction of the artist’s cosmology, in which abstract forms, organic elements, and recurring figures give shape to a cast of nonhuman characters. In paintings on canvas and works made on sculptural supports in leather paper, the artist develops a vocabulary of forms that evokes a universe inhabited by presences, lending a kind of animism to abstract forms, as though beings associated with the animal and vegetal worlds—among them insects, butterflies, and serpents—were taking shape within them. Branches, twigs, fruits, liquids, and other sculptural forms extend this vocabulary into space, where what is suggested in the paintings ... More kaufmann repetto presents Clarissa Tossin solo exhibition Piante Vagabonde
MILAN.- kaufmann repetto presents Piante Vagabonde (Wandering Plants), the first solo exhibition with the gallery by Brazilian artist Clarissa Tossin, bringing together a new body of recent works. Through painting, sculpture, installation, and video, Tossin develops a practice that intertwines ecology, colonial history, and the exploitation of natural resources, examining the relationship between the body, the landscape, and socioeconomic infrastructures. Her work is grounded in the idea that nature is not a realm separate from human experience, but rather a network of relationships of which we are an integral part—one shaped by material and political histories that continue to inform the present. In recent years, her work has been presented at major international institutions, including the recent survey exhibition Point of No Return at the Museu de Arte ...

NEW YORK, NY.- The Hill Art Foundation announced its exhibition for the fall of 2026, "Thucydides Fever Dream."

On a day like today, Colombian artist Fernando Botero died
September 15, 2023. Fernando Botero Angulo (19 April 1932 - 15 September 2023) was a Colombian painter and sculptor. His signature style, also known as "Boterismo", depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece. He was considered the most recognized and quoted artist from Latin America in his lifetime, and his art can be found in highly visible places around the world, such as Park Avenue in New York City and the Champs-Élysées in Paris, at different times. In this image: Fernando Botero, Jesus Meets His Mother/ Jesus encuentra a su madre, 2011. Oil on canvas, 57 1/8 x 63 inches. Photo: Courtesy Marlborough Gallery.
