PHOENIX, AZ.- On April 15, 2026, Phoenix Art Museum (PhxArt) will present its newest fashion exhibition Colorwear: A Kaleidoscope of Fashion. The exhibition commemorates the 60th anniversary of Phoenix Art Museum’s fashion collection by presenting a chromatic celebration of colorful ensembles and whimsical accessories. Arranged across a runway of vibrant hues, this exhibition reveals how North American and European designers including Hubert de Givenchy, Olivier Lapidus, Tina Leser, and Giorgio di Sant'Angelo have used color as a source of inspiration. In addition to luscious gowns and sparkling dresses, the exhibition features some of the smallest and most extraordinary objects in the Museum’s fashion holdings, such as Judith Leiber pillboxes encased in multihued crystals, psychedelic scarves, and shoes that evoke the golden tones of an Egyptian burial or the bold explosion of graffiti paint. From couture to ready-to-wear, Colorwear immerses you in the power of color as storytelling, mood, and crea ... More
VIENNA.- From 15 April, the MAK dedicates a solo exhibition to Barbara Pflaum (1912–2002), a pioneer of Austrian press photography, in the MAK Works on Paper Room. With her extraordinary powers of observation and outstanding sense of form, Pflaum counts among the trailblazers of Austrian photojournalism in the 1950s. For over two decades, she helped shape the visual style of the Austrian weekly magazine Wochenpresse. Aged 40, divorced and a mother of three, Pflaum began studying at Vienna’s Academy of Applied Arts (now the University of Applied Arts Vienna) where she discovered photography and devoted herself to it with passion from then on. The exhibition at the MAK shows more than 100 photographs from the late 1950s and early 1960s, revealing an aspect of her work as yet little known: thoughtful, often humorous observations of everyday life in Vienna. Pflaum received her first camera from her then-partner, the traveler, writer, and photographer Herbert Tichy in the early 1950s. At f ... More

Towards, 2026. Color on canvas, 162 x 130,5 cm / 63.8 x 51.3 in,
MILAN.- kaufmann repetto announces Towards, Bohie Kim’s first Italian solo exhibition, opening on April 15th in Milan. One of Korea’s most esteemed landscape painters, her vividly chromatic compositions synthesize a breadth of influences, merging Oriental and Western traditions. At the core of Kim’s radiant paintings are the exuberant forms of the natural world, infused with evocative visual and spiritual qualities. Kim was initially trained in East Asian painting, employing ink-wash techniques on hanji, the traditional Korean mulberry paper. Gradually she started to incorporate also Western mediums such as canvas and acrylics, developing a hybrid style for her depictions of landscapes, still-lifes and human figures. After earning both her BFA and MFA from Ewha Womans University, she served as a professor in the same department until 2017 and she is now professor emerita at the university. In the early 2000s, the artist set up home on the island of Jeju, which lies south of the ... More
VIENNA.- To this day, the unproductive opposition between painting and conceptualism as two eternal adversaries in a mythical antagonism between painted/“bad” art market art and conceptually safeguarded/“good” exhibition art continues to have an effect. All the more surprising, then, is how much the debate over the pros and cons of painting—which reached its peak around 1980 with “wild” or “neo-expressionist” painting—still affects artists today who had only marginal involvement with that specific historical constellation. The works created between 1981 and 1990 by Stano Filko (1937–2015), which are the focus of this exhibition, are also often labeled “neo-expressionist” in their reception. In fact, these works—especially his installation Love of Ontology(1982), presented at documenta 7—are frequently placed directly in the context of the then-emerging “wild painting” as it was especially promoted by the Neue Wilde movement in Germany. Among these works are primarily paintings, but also assembl ... More

NASHVILLE, TENN.- The Frist Art Museum presents Plexus No. 47, a new long-term installation by artist Gabriel Dawe. The vast suspended work is the latest in the Frist’s Art in the Atrium series and will be on view in the space from April 15, 2026 through April 30, 2028.
Gabriel Dawe (b. 1973) was born in Mexico City and is now based in Dallas. He works with various media and is known for the large, site-specific installations in his Plexus series. Plexus No. 47 is composed of long arrangements of colored threads zigzagging across the atrium like refracted beams of light. Like other works in Dawe’s Plexus series, this installation is rooted in the science of optics. It evokes the spectrum of hues that occurs as light is dispersed by a glass prism or when a rainbow forms after a storm. “Illuminated by the clerestory windows above, these threads are so close together that they may seem to blend in the eyes of the beholder, appearing as a colorful mist,” says Frist Art Museum Chief Curator Mark Scala. Thro ... More
LONDON.- In 1939, as Britain prepared for the impact of war, Hertford House – home of the Wallace Collection – underwent a transformation unlike any other in its history. Its world-renowned artworks were evacuated for safekeeping, its galleries emptied, and the building was briefly repurposed as a stage for exhibitions designed to galvanise public opinion and strengthen Britain’s relationships with its wartime allies. The Wallace Collection at War, a free display opening in April 2026, brings this extraordinary moment to life. Drawing extensively on newly revisited archival material, surviving catalogues, wartime records and artworks actually shown in 1942, the display will trace how Hertford House became an unlikely forum for cultural diplomacy. The display focuses on two key exhibitions held in 1942 that championed the Soviet Union after its entry into the war: Artists Aid Russia and Twenty-Five Years of Progress. Examined together, they reveal how art, information and propagan ... More
Vian Sora, Morphing, 2023, Acrylic and oil on canvas, 182.88 x 170.18 cm.
HOUSTON, TX.- Vian Sora (b. 1976, Baghdad) creates dazzling, layered abstractions that channel the turbulence of life, ancient Mesopotamian history, and Iraq's diverse natural landscapes — including its deserts, rivers, and archeological sites. Outerworlds — her first solo museum exhibition in the United States — surveys a decade of her most vibrant work, charting her transformation into one of today's most distinctive voices in painting. The exhibition will open with a reception on April 15 from 6–8 p.m., and remain on view through August 2, 2026. Sora's practice emerges directly from lived experience. Having grown up amid the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, and the U.S. invasion of Iraq, she witnessed the devastation of her homeland firsthand. She later left Baghdad, sought refugee status for her family in the United Arab Emirates, and then eventually resettled in Louisville, Kentucky. In 2016, Sora realized she needed to use abstraction to process the tumultuous events of her life. Her painting has ... More
