EDINBURGH.- A one-of-a-kind Roman brooch discovered in Midlothian will go on display for the first time in a major new exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland, Roman Scotland: Life on the Edge of Empire (14 November 2026 – 28 April 2027). The bronze brooch is unique in Roman Britain, fusing local and Roman design styles in an example of remarkable craftsmanship. Only 6cm long, it combines vibrantly coloured enameling with graceful curving metalwork. The enamel has been carefully laid out in tiny blocks to form alternating zig-zags in red and yellow. Scientific analysis suggests the surface was once coated with tin, creating a silvery sheen that would set off these bright colours. The shape and design of the elegantly decorated head are inspired by older traditions of Celtic art. The brooch was discovered in 2022 near Pathhead in Midlothian but was probably made in northern England. Craftworkers at the time took inspiration from brooches brought in with the Roman invasion and added loca ... More
Gio Ponti. 45th Ed. Hardcover, 6.1 x 8.5 in., 2.52 lb, 512 pages ISBN 978-3-7544-0111-8
NEW YORK, NY.- To study Gio Ponti’s prolific body of work is to appreciate the clear, unifying vision behind a complex creative universe. A synthesis of the arts, his creations unfold intuitively with the Italian grandeur and studied lightness that defined his iconic style. Ponti’s rare ability to move seamlessly between scales allowed him to approach the design of a teaspoon with the same conviction as that of an entire city. He was as much an architect and designer as he was a publisher, poet, and man. A treasure in its own regard, his legacy endures as a landmark of Italy’s mid-century Renaissance and the modernist ideals it sought to realize. Compact yet comprehensive, this volume traces the evolution of Ponti’s oeuvre over six decades, presenting more than sixty projects reproduced in high resolution—each framed by the context in which it was conceived. Like windows onto his elusive ... More

THE HAGUE.- Soon, for the first time in over 80 years, Piet Mondrian’s final paintings will be reunited in the Netherlands: the iconic Victory Boogie Woogie and Broadway Boogie Woogie. Influenced by the energy and music of New York City in the early 1940s, Mondrian carried out his most radical experiment with rhythm, colour and material. This joint effort from Kunstmuseum Den Haag and The Museum of Modern Art, New York will also include ten of Mondrian’s transatlantic works: paintings he brought with him from Europe to New York, where he added more ‘boogie-woogie’. Victory Boogie Woogie (1942-44) is a modern-art icon and the highlight of the world’s largest collection of Mondrian’s work, which can ... More

Light becomes both the material and the subject of the works: something that moves through the body and the city.
LONDON.- MORE LIGHT is part of a three-part constellation unfolding across London in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Arts and its annual Summer Exhibition. What binds all three parts together is light. Not only as a visual phenomenon, but as a shared human experience. Light becomes both the material and the subject of the works: something that moves through the body and the city. The first part, THE SONG IS YOU is a new rainbow poem installed in the courtyard of the Royal Academy. Suspended three meters above the ground, the rainbow creates an arc beneath which visitors must pass in order to enter the Summer Exhibition. The rainbow transforms the threshold of the museum into a moment of passage, guiding visitors from the street into the space of the institution. The second part, LIGHT, consists of fifty-four flags installed on Bond Street, Mayfair. Each flag presents a different sunrise or sunset derived from my ongoing sunrise/sunset paintings, a body of work I began in the summer of 2 ... More

LONDON.- Ben Brown Fine Arts announces ENGRAMS, an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by Brooklyn-based artist José Parlá. Comprising nine new canvases and six paintings on paper, the exhibition will be on view at the gallery’s London space from 9 June – 31 July 2026. An engram is the physical trace a memory leaves in the brain — a living, ever-shifting pattern that reactivates and reshapes itself each time it is recalled. By this understanding, memory is reconstruction rather than retrieval, and the act of remembering becomes a creative gesture in its own right — the principle that underpins the series. Three landscapes inform this body of work: the radiant, expansive sunsets of Havana, Cuba; the dense, immersive greenery of the forests in Hakone, Japan; and the subterranean energy of New York City’s urban corridors. Where Old Master painters have historically returned to the same landscape day after day, documenting the shifting subtleties of light through ... More

Serena Carone brings trompe-l'il ceramics to Perrotin Paris PARIS.- Perrotin is presenting, for the first time in its Marais space, a solo exhibition by French artist Serena Carone. Through enamelled faience sculptures featuring striking trompe-l’œil effects, the artist blurs the boundaries between reality and illusion, transforming everyday objects into visual experiences that are as poetic as they are unsettling. Serena Carone likes to trick people. She started out by tricking the postal service by painting stamps, using a magnifying glass and a miniaturist’s brush, and putting them on letters she sent from abroad. Originally a way of relieving the boredom of sitting around in hotel rooms, these artworks seemed successful to her when they arrived safely at their destination, duly postmarked and thus approved by the relevant authorities. Next, she created three-dimensional trompe-l’œil works by making cameras, phones, ... More

Frieder Bickhardt wins fifth August Sander Award for refugee portrait project COLOGNE.- Frieder Bickhardt will be awarded the fifth August Sander Award in 2026 for his project City Plaza. At the heart of the work are black-and-white portraits, created with a large-format camera, depicting residents of a formerly vacant hotel in Athens. From 2016 to 2019, refugees, together with local activists and numerous international volunteers, formed a self-organized collective in the building. At times, as many as 450 people lived there. Over the years, Frieder Bickhardt visited the site on five occasions and, through his active involvement, developed a multifaceted photographic project. For his portraits, he installed an improvised white backdrop on the building’s rooftop terrace, in front of which he photographed the residents—mostly individually, in bust-length or half-length portraits, and always facing the camera directly. Through this approach, Bickhardt ... More
Philippe Parreno explores light in Noor at Gladstone NEW YORK, NY.- Gladstone presents Noor, an exhibition by Philippe Parreno that pivots to light, a long-standing medium in his practice, as the constitutive element. Parreno’s exhibitions are studies in sentience, with individual objects and videos seemingly aware of their own existence. These elements act as separate entities and are in dialogue with one another, as well as with the environment they inhabit. In this, Parreno’s shows have been compared to living organisms—mutable, interdependent, and generative. And, like life itself, his presentations are durational, performing according to syncopated rhythms that are often algorithmically determined so that one object responds to another in ever-changing sequences. Noor, with its intermeshed beams of light, cast shadows, and glowing output, is conceived by the artist as a tribute to Barbara Gladstone. ... More

On a day like today, British abstract painter Wilhelmina Barns-Graham was born
June 08, 1912. Wilhelmina Barns-Graham CBE (8 June 1912 - 26 January 2004) was one of the foremost British abstract artists, a member of the influential Penwith Society of Arts.
