Rembrandt van Rijn, The Sampling Officials of the Amsterdam Drapers’ Guild, Known as ‘The Syndics’, 1662, oil on canvas, 191,5 x 279 cm, Rijksmuseum, on loan from the city of Amsterdam.
HAARLEM.- The Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem presents Hals–Rembrandt, an intimate exhibition featuring works by the two 17th-century artists Frans Hals and Rembrandt van Rijn. Both are renowned for their lifelike portraits and character studies in a loose painting style. This is the first time an exhibition has been devoted entirely to the combination of paintings by these two masters. The nineteen paintings are displayed in a setting that encourages visitors to look closely and, as a result, to see more. Frans Hals and Rembrandt van Rijn are regarded as two of the finest artists of the 17th century. They are both admired for their distinctive, loose painting style and their ability to portray people in a lifelike manner. In doing so, they focused their attention not only on wealthy magistrates, but also on children, merry drinkers, actors and musicians. On the other hand, there are also differences between the two artists. Rembrandt worked in an exploratory manner, continually adding layers ... More
PARIS.- Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Marais presents L'Essence du portrait, an exhibition that sheds light on Irving Penn's mastery of photographic portraiture, from his early existential portrait of Marcel Duchamp to his photograph of an exultant Elizabeth Peyton in the final decade of his life. Penn decisively contributed to elevating photography to the status of high art, and his portraits rival paintings in their technical bravura and psychological gravitas. The exhibition coincides with PENN & FASHION at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (until 17 January 2027) as well as an exceptional selection of his photographs at the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection as part of the exhibition Remember Me (until 28 January 2027). Penn's portraits are penetrating. Photographing personalities from 1943 onwards, he would prepare each sitting by immersing himself in his ... More
COLOGNE.- Lee Ufan (b. 1936, lives in Kamakura, Japan) has been awarded the 32nd Wolfgang Hahn Prize by the Society for Modern Art at the Museum Ludwig. In his art, opposing forces such as emptiness and tension, stillness and energy come together. As a co-founder of the Japanese minimalist Mono-ha movement ("School of Things"—a collective of artists in Tokyo active between 1968 and 1975), he continues to seek a harmonious reordering of things to this day. Since the 1970s, his minimalist painting in particular has left a lasting mark on the international art scene. In his latest series of paintings, Response (2023–2026), Lee continues to work with a broad brush, using it to apply strokes to large-format canvases. These elements appear as isolated formal symbols, rhythmically structured patterns, monochromatic with shades ranging from light white to dark gray. Lee regards the act ... More
Sandra Cinto, The Path to the Stars I , 2026. Acrylic on canvas, 21 5/8 x 15 inches; 55 x 38 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Tanya Bonakdar Gallery is presenting The Path to Stars, an installation of major new work by Sandra Cinto. This is the twelfth solo exhibition by the São Paulo-based artist since her debut presentation at the gallery in 1999. For over three decades, Sandra Cinto has explored the potential of drawing to create intricate images and immersive environments, often using the line as a gesture to deconstruct the physical and conceptual boundaries between painting, sculpture, and site. In The Path to Stars, new paintings, wall paintings, and folding screens further examine the sun and the stars as inspirational elements, offering powerful means of connection, particularly during times of polarization and discord. The Path to Stars invites the viewer to reflect on the idea of perception through the lens of opposites. At the entrance to the gallery, a dark blue tondo painting greets visitors. Reminiscent of the night sky, Nocturne begins the journey from night to day. Continuing into the main sp ... More
ROME.- Chiara Bersani, Adji Dieye and Margherita Moscardini are the artists featured in the MAXXI BVLGARI PRIZE exhibition, a project bringing together MAXXI and Fondazione Bvlgari to support art and the production of new works. For the first time in the history of the Prize, now in its fifth edition, all three finalists are women. Curated by Giulia Ferracci, the exhibition opens to the public on 6 November 2026 and presents three new works, produced for the Prize, that offer significant insights into our times. Chiara Bersani gives to the question of whose lives matter the form of a sarcophagus and a ritual; Adji Dieye inverts the tower of a pavilion from the 1931 Paris Colonial Exhibition, revealing how that gaze continues to shape the present; Margherita Moscardini takes a bronze section of pavement as the starting point for a legislative proposal on the commons. On 23 February 2027, at a dedicated ceremony, the jury will announce the winner, whose work will be acquired by the Museum and b ... More

STOCKHOLM.- The exhibition Our Stories brings together two prominent Sámi artists: Britta Marakatt-Labba and Tomas Colbengtson. With Sápmi, the Sámi experience, and the relationship to land, history, and identity as central starting points, they approach storytelling in vastly different ways. Through two distinct artistic languages, they portray experiences that move between the personal and the collective, between memory and the contemporary. For Galleri Helle Knudsen, the exhibition is also a continuation of a long-standing relationship with both artists. Britta Marakatt-Labba and Tomas Colbengtson have previously exhibited at the gallery, both in solo exhibitions and together. Their collaborations include the duo exhibitions Tracks in Snow After Reindeer Migration (2016) and Dawn (2018). Marakatt-Labba returned to the gallery with the solo exhibition Echoes of the Underground in 2025, and that same year Colbengtson presented his third solo ... More

CHICAGO, IL.- Charles White Across Media: A Visual Archive brings together album covers, book jackets, magazines, film stills, photographs, prints, and other ephemera featuring the work of Charles White (1918-1979) to examine the expansive cultural life of his imagery. Tracing how his work circulated beyond the studio and the museum wall, the exhibition reveals how White’s images centered everyday life and shaped a broader visual language. An artist who worked fluidly across drawing, painting, printmaking, and mural-making, White created what he described as “powerful images of dignity", centering African-American experiences as well as historical figures and events at a time when such representations were widely distorted or excluded from mainstream culture. These opportunities for reproduction ... More

BARCELONA.- Until 2 May 2027, MACBA is hosting the exhibition Aurèlia Muñoz. Beings. Curated by Manuel Cirauqui, Sílvia Ventosa Muñoz and Rosa Lleó, the exhibition is the result of extensive research and a collaboration between MACBA, the Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofía, the research platform einaidea and the Aurèlia Muñoz Archive. This joint effort has produced a retrospective that both honours and expands the legacy of Aurèlia Muñoz (Barcelona, 1926–2011), acknowledging her as one of the most accomplished and innovative international artists of the twentieth century. Following its presentation in Madrid, the exhibition arrives in Barcelona in its definitive and most comprehensive version, with an ambitious exhibition design tailored to the architecture of the Meier Building, along with a significant increase in large-scale works and previously unseen material. In the exhibition’s main space, over thirty large-scale works create a monumental journey: Homage to Gaudí (1969) is display ... More
Francesca Gabbiani, Red Milk, 2026, Encaustic and oil on linen, 29 x 24 x 1 inches, 73.7 x 61 x 2.5 cm. Photo: Deen Babakhyi.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Wilding Cran Gallery is presenting Nom de Guerre, an exhibition of Francesca Gabbiani’s explorations of ceremonial healing, forbidden knowledge, oral history, and the intertwined legacies of plants, ritual, and resistance. The multimedia exhibition marks Gabbiani’s return to encaustic and an engagement with new material language. Drawing upon the legacy of assumed names, or pseudonyms adopted by revolutionaries to protect their identities, Nom de Guerre invokes the endurance of marginalized histories, survived through coded language and acts of transmission. Inspired by Gabbiani’s two-sided artist’s book, Bible, the exhibition unfolds across media ranging from encaustic painting to bronze sculpture, mirroring the transformation of traces of knowledge, passed down through generations. Conceived as an intimate, devotional field guide of abstract drawings and textual fragments inspired by folklore, mythology, botanical illustration, ... More
Lucas Samaras, Box #47, 1966. Mixed media, 11-3/4" × 8-1/2" × 10-3/4" (29.8 cm × 21.6 cm × 27.3 cm), closed.
NEW YORK, NY.- Lucas Samaras: Boxes and Reconstructions will bring together two seminal bodies of work by the influential Greek-born American artist Lucas Samaras at Pace’s 540 West 25th Street gallery from November 6, 2026 through January 23, 2027. Alongside a selection of iconic, deeply enigmatic box sculptures from the 1960s through the 1980s, Boxes and Reconstructions will also feature never-before-seen fabric paintings from Samaras’s pioneering and little-known Reconstructions series of 1979. Across more than seven decades at the forefront of the avant-garde, Samaras’s work remained both profoundly personal and formally inventive. Drawing on elements of his personal history—from his childhood amid the Greek Civil War to his later experiences as part of the New York City’s avant-garde of the 1950s and 1960s—he engaged sculpture photography, painting and drawing, and digital art to explore the nature of selfhood and identity. Samaras’s boxes, the works for which ... More
PARIS.- Zander Galerie Paris opened its exhibition dedicated to Tina Barney’s early black-and-white photographs. Rediscovered by the artist while revisiting her archives during the pandemic, these rarely seen works offer an intimate portrait of American East Coast society in the late 1970s. Born in 1945, Tina Barney is renowned for her large-scale colour photographs exploring family dynamics and the rituals of privilege. Drawing on her own background and social circle, she began photographing family and friends in the settings of their everyday lives. Deeply attached to the customs and traditions that shaped her world, she sought to preserve them through photography, conscious that they might otherwise fade from memory. Her sensitivity to composition and her attention to the visual details of domestic life became central to her practice. In 1981, she began working with a large-format view camera and colour film, developing the distinctive approach for which she would become known. The six ... More
BONN.- What happens when the marks drawn on the human body for medical treatment become the starting point for an artistic investigation into life, vulnerability, and survival? At Kunstmuseum Bonn, internationally acclaimed German photographer Herlinde Koelbl explores this question in "Thread Crosses for Life," a deeply personal exhibition bringing together portraits and recorded conversations with 40 individuals who have experienced cancer. On view from November 8, 2026, through May 16, 2027, the exhibition represents Koelbl's latest body of work and marks its first presentation at the museum. Combining photography with intimate testimonies, the project addresses an illness that affects countless lives yet remains surrounded by silence, discomfort, and social taboos. The origins of the series lie in Koelbl's own experience. In 2019 and 2020, the artist underwent chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation treatment after being diagnosed ... More
HAMBURG.- The Project Space-in-Residence chess club and the Kunstverein in Hamburg announced the exhibition Angelika Oehms. A snapshot of a life: developed in collaboration with Bettina Sefkow, this project is dedicated to the work and life of the Hamburg-based artist Angelika Oehms. It brings together materials from the ARCHIV Hilka Nordhausen / Buch Handlung Welt, Oehms’ private collection, as well as photographs, documents, and memories from her personal and artistic circles. The exhibition sheds light on a largely forgotten artistic position and its context within Hamburg’s art scene of the 1970s and 1980s. At its centre is Oehms’ slide projection Kostbare Sekunden from 1980. Now, 46 years after it was first presented, the work returns to the Kunstverein in Hamburg. Angelika Oehms (1949–1986) lived and worked in Hamburg. After studying art education, education, and Romance studies, she studied at the Hochschule ... More

Library of Congress acquires letters written by former First Ladies Martha Washington and Mary Todd Lincoln WASHINGTON, DC.- The Library of Congress has recently acquired two letters written by former first ladies Martha Washington and Mary Todd Lincoln. These letters provide researchers and the public with a rare glimpse into the private lives of remarkable women who each stood beside formidable men: America’s first president and its Civil War commander-in-chief. “What is already the world’s richest and most expansive collection of materials related to American history is constantly growing – sometimes one letter at a time,” said Kevin Butterfield, acting chief of the Manuscript Division. “These two documents help us to tell fascinating stories that we simply couldn’t tell before.” On Feb. 15, 1865, a mere two months before the assassination ...

Karon Davis explores power and performance in Seattle Art Museum exhibition SEATTLE, WA.- The Seattle Art Museum (SAM) presents Karon Davis Not My Circus, the solo exhibition by the winner of the 2025 Gwendolyn Knight and Jacob Lawrence Prize. The Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist is best known for her dramatic installations with life-sized plaster-cast figures. Karon Davis’s work strides the line between visual art and performance. In communion with one another, her figurative sculptures form enigmatic tableaux that suggest both personal and collective stories tied to contemporary and ancient themes, historical events, and the artist’s lived experiences. The exhibition will be in SAM’s Gwendowlyn Knight and Jacob Lawrence Gallery from November 5, 2026, through July 4, 2027. Awarded biannually since 2009 to an early to mid-career Black artist—defined loosely as an artist in the first decade of their ... More
Gainsborough's House presents 'The Ancient Pulse of Germ and Birth' by Georg Wilson SUDBURY.- One of British painting’s most exciting new artists, Georg Wilson (b.1998), presents paintings inspired by Gainsborough House’s collection, the surrounding countryside and the history and folklore of the English landscape. Wilson’s practice follows the changing seasons, incorporating the seasonal flora and fauna of the English countryside. Her paintings imagine an alternative natural world where humans are absent. This body of work seeks to challenge the historic depiction of the British landscape as a tamed, green and pleasant bucolic idyll, parcelled up into private estates. Inspired by Gainsborough’s young love of the Suffolk countryside in which he grew up, these paintings depict another version of the rural landscape that is wild and strange, drawing on walks in the Suffolk landscape and beyond. The exhibition’s title The Ancient ... More
Jürgen Klauke honored with Photography Art Prize as major exhibition opens in Germany MONSCHAU.- The Fotografie-Forum der StädteRegion Aachen is honoring pioneering German artist Jürgen Klauke with its 2026 Art Prize for Photography, recognizing a career that has profoundly influenced the development of Body Art, staged photography, and conceptual approaches to the photographic medium. Accompanied by an exhibition spanning more than five decades of artistic experimentation, the award celebrates an artist whose provocative exploration of identity, sexuality, and human existence helped redefine photography's possibilities within contemporary art. The exhibition opens on November 8 and continues through December 20, 2026, in Monschau, Germany. The award, which carries a prize of €10,000, acknowledges Klauke's exceptional contribution to establishing photography as an independent artistic language. Born in 1943 in Kliding, ... More
Karel Funk explores the materiality of the hood in solo exhibition at Miles McEnery NEW YORK, NY.- Karel Funk’s inaugural solo exhibition at Miles McEnery Gallery continues his exploration of the hood as a contemporary form of portraiture, shifting focus away from the individual beneath the garment and toward an investigation of the materiality of the garment itself. Through intricate detail and iridescent color, the works explore the interplay of figuration, abstraction, geometry, and perception. Funk’s figures dwell in the ambiguous space between the seen and unseen. In these paintings, the familiar and ordinary—an isolated hood—takes on a haunting, sacred reverence. Funk’s process can only be understood through hours of manipulating, photographing, Photoshopping, and then meticulously transferring the digital image into a painted one. In the essay, “Karel Funk Has Been Painting the Same Subject for Decades. He’s Still Making ... More
10th Asian Art Biennial announces 'Co-Weaving' theme centered on Indigenous traditions TAICHUNG CITY.- The theme of the 10th Asian Art Biennial, Mrahul Tminun—Gong-Zhi—Co-Weaving, is rooted in the cultural context of Taiwan’s Indigenous peoples, and is presented in parallel in Truku, Chinese, and English. The Truku phrase brings together Tminun, meaning “weaving,” with Mrahul, which connotes a crowd, coming together, or gathering. It evokes the everyday practice of women in the community gathering in the square to weave cloth, keep one another company, and engage in conversation, embodying the spirit of “each being themselves, while being together, together.” The core concept and methodology of “co-weaving” encompass acts of linking, interlacing, passing through, braiding, weaving, and structuring. They also suggest the negotiation of obstacles and the possibility of moving forward along indirect paths. Co-weaving ... More

Sable Elyse Smith explores power, carceral systems, and visual structures at Regen Projects LOS ANGELES, CA.- Regen Projects is presenting a solo exhibition with Sable Elyse Smith, presenting new woven works on paper, a recent video work, and a monumental kinetic sculpture. SKY FENCE GROUND enlists and disrupts the language of formalism to mine the latent meanings of visual systems, patterning, and the destabilization of structure. Smith engages with the aesthetic gestures of shorthand, repetition, and distortion to expose the underlying logic of conceptual mechanisms and hierarchies. In Smith’s multimedia practice, she recontextualizes signifiers of systemic oppression to illuminate omnipresent structures of power and inequity. In this new series of works on paper, Smith slices and interweaves her Coloring Books (developed from an activity book designed to teach children about the judicial process) into an overlapping grid. She purposefully ... More
Alfonso Artiaco presents 'Tutto, più o meno', solo exhibition by Tursic & Mille NAPLES.- Alfonso Artiaco is presenting Tutto, più o meno, the fourth solo show by Tursic & Mille. A pink bomb becomes a still life. The genre, natura morta, suits it strangely well. The violence of the present surfaces beneath the milky softness of the colour. Flowers disturb the appearance of a skull; a fragment of the universe finds its place within a painting. With Tutto, più o meno, Ida Tursic & Wilfried Mille present thirteen new paintings at Alfonso Artiaco, in which any subject can change its nature through contact with paint. Everything, more or less: a promise of the absolute, immediately tempered by a qualification. Between the two, an interval opens in which painting acts. For over twenty-five years, Tursic & Mille have been redefining the limits of the medium through an empirical practice in which process, concept and images shape a way of thinking through ... More
