FRANKFURT.- In 2023, the Städel Museum received an impressive and representative collection of works by Werner Tübke, one of the most important painters of the German Democratic Republic, from the collection of Barbara and Eduard Beaucamp. From 2 July to 28 September 2025, the Städel is presenting this outstanding donation of forty-six drawings and watercolours by Tübke in an exhibition dedicated to his graphic work and metaphorical visual language. Tübke (1929–2004) ranks alongside Bernhard Heisig and Wolfgang Mattheuer as one of the leading representatives of the so-called First Leipzig School and created a body of work in painting and drawing that is autonomous and consistent, dense in both form and content. “Drawing is an elementary need”, the artist once said, “everything else comes afterwards.” Tübke’s watercolours and drawings in graphite, pen and chalk testify to his great creative freedom and independence. They are an essential part of his artistic oeuvre: he ... More

WASHINGTON, DC.- This fall, the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum will open “Big Things for Big Rooms,” an exhibition tracing the development of immersive, large-scale artworks since the late 1960s. The presentation of 10 artworks—five on view for the first time at the Museum— is drawn largely from the Hirshhorn’s collection. “Big Things for Big Rooms” will offer a multisensorial investigation of how artists create installation works that expand the boundaries of an artwork and the role of the visitor. The exhibition is organized into two parts. The first introduces the development of “Environments,” expansive installations by pioneering artists such as Robert Irwin, whose work defined the Light and Space movement, and land artist Richard Long. The second half demonstrates how contemporary artists like Paul Chan, Olafur Eliasson and Mika Rottenberg are expanding upon these foundational ideas in differ ... More

Marcel Dzama, The sleep of reason produces monsters, 2025. Pearlescent acrylic ink, watercolor, and graphite on paper, 70 x 51 3/4 in.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- David Zwirner is presenting Empress of Night, an exhibition of new and recent work by Marcel Dzama, on view at the gallery’s 606 N Western Avenue location in Los Angeles. Dzama’s recent works are fantastical visions of a lush and at-times flooded world where anthropomorphized animals and dancing figures are set against dense junglescapes and expansive skies. References to Francisco Goya and surrealist poet Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)—one of Spain's most important and celebrated writers—are evident throughout these compositions, suggesting parallels between the war-torn and uncertain eras in which those artists lived and the political, social, and ecological upheavals of our own. Some works make direct reference to the rise of authoritarianism in the world today, while others use allegory as a critical means of commenting on growing threats ... More

Rita Ackermann, Doubles 3, 2025. Acrylic, oil and silkscreen print on canvas, 188 x 213.4 cm / 74 x 84 in. Photo: Dario Lasagni.
PARIS.- In her first exhibition at Hauser & Wirth’s Paris gallery, Rita Ackermann presents a new series of paintings and large, related works on paper that take up the theme of the double. In the works on view, Ackermann does not just evoke the presence of a dual entity but unveils its structure. Innovative in their unexpected combinations of materials and defined by a sharp conceptual tension, these works draw inspiration from two giants of French culture—Jean-Luc Godard and Paul Virilio. The results are as unsettling as they are exacting. Ackermann’s Doubles (2024 – 2025) bespeak things that bedevil one another: a present the artist can never be at one with; a past that disallows any full disencumbering—images so well-known that they might be better forgotten. What force drives such image-making, if not a desire to capture the nuances of an ever-shifting reality dominated by a sense of absences and displacements? In these new works, shapes invert, colors reverse, ima ... More
LONDON.- Foster + Partners has won the competition to design the national memorial to Queen Elizabeth II. Five finalist teams were asked to create a masterplan that would honour and celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s extraordinary life of service and provide the public with a space for reflection. Foster + Partners’ winning design concept celebrates Queen Elizabeth’s life through a time of great change, balancing tradition and modernity, public duty and private faith, the United Kingdom and a global Commonwealth. The design concept illustrates how she brought these dualities together: two gates, two gardens, joined by a bridge and unifying path. Foster + Partners’ design concept features figurative sculptures and a new Prince Philip Gate. It also features gardens – dedicated to the Commonwealth and the communities of the United Kingdom – to create spaces for reflection and coming together. Artistic installations will celebrate the nation’s diversity. A new bridge, re ... More
Marcos Kueh, Madonna #01, 2024. Industrial weaving, recycled PET, 8 yarns, 91 1/2 x 70 in. 232.4 x 177.8 cm. Edition of 2 + 1AP.
NEW YORK, NY.- Tina Kim Gallery presents The Calling of Home, a group exhibition on view from July 2 through September 6, 2025. Co-presented with The Institutum, Singapore, the exhibition is organized by London-based curators Wells Fray-Smith and Clara Che Wei Peh. The exhibition brings together four artists: Cheong See Min (b. 1994, Malaysia), Marcos Kueh (b. 1995, Malaysia), Jennifer Tee (b. 1973, Netherlands), and Khairulddin Wahab (b. 1990, Singapore). Drawing from fact, fiction, history and mythology, personal stories and imagined figures, The Calling of Home asks questions about home and how we arrived here. Across distinct yet overlapping geographies, Wahab, Cheong, Tee, and Kueh explore how the idea of home is shaped by movement, memory, and acts of reinvention. Their practices explore notions of identity, migration, and cultural memory in and beyond Southeast Asia. On the occasion of The Calling of ... More
Portrait of Lady Pink. 2018. Courtesy the artist.
LONG ISLAND CITY, NY.- Building on past projects on the facade, MoMA PS1 is launching a new mural commissioning program. The program invites artists to create new works that face the public plaza at PS1’s main entrance, welcoming visitors to the museum. Each year, an artist will be selected for a new commission through a selection process involving a jury of local cultural leaders including curators, organizers, and artists. For 2025, the jury selected a proposal by graffiti artist and painter Lady Pink (Ecuadorian-American, b. 1964). On view through spring 2026, the mural weaves together imagery emblematic of Pink’s practice—surreal brick structures, New York City skylines, and the 7 train—in an homage to 5Pointz and the history of New York as an embattled and complicated site of creative experimentation. Born in Ecuador and raised in Astoria, Queens, Lady Pink started writing graffiti as a teenager in 1979. One of the only women embraced by the graffiti scene at that time, she painted s ... More
Pulse of Earth, 2024. Glazed stoneware with silvery overglaze 10 x 12 3/8 x 9 5/8 in.
NEW YORK, NY.- Following her sold-out international debut in 2017, Joan B. Mirviss Ltd announces the second major international solo show of the exciting young artist Takemura Yuri (b. 1980). In her new work, Takemura meditates on the ever-churning vicissitudes of life. This new series of teabowls represents an evolution of her earlier work. While maintaining her characteristic exuberant swirling forms and bold color palette, Takemura has introduced new textures of clay and glaze that convey the passing of time through their weathered appearance. She has also begun creating sculptural works that, in their twisting and branching forms, tell the story of a lifetime as it unfurls. She finds working with clay to be a form of self-reflection that allows her to process her lived experiences. “Whenever I touch clay, I feel a sense of comfort uniting my mind, my hands, and the clay. The forms that emerge from this exchange go on to interact with other external forces, changing yet again. There ... More

Agustina Woodgate unveils "Instructions for Disappearing Territories" at François Ghebaly LOS ANGELES, CA.- François Ghebaly is presenting Instructions for Disappearing Territories, a new exhibition by Agustina Woodgate. Buenos Aires-born, Amsterdam-based artist Agustina Woodgate directs a kaleidoscopic practice that bridges systems inquiry and intervention with meticulous, hands-on processes of transformation. Through investigations into material archives, infrastructures, and civic and labor histories, her work excavates underlying mechanisms of power. Woodgate treats the physical artifacts of these mechanisms as raw material to be deconstructed through deliberate acts of erosion and redistribution. These gestures reflect the unique combination of archaeological and durational methodologies that inform her close-looking. In the exhibition Instructions for Disappearing Territories, Woodgate draws from the broad lines of her practice to unite four ... More
Agustín Ibarrola's "Euskadi" mural undergoes major conservation, returning to Bilbao museum BILBAO.- One of the most important actions in the 2024 campaign of the Iberdrola-Museum Conservation and Restoration Programme—the first was Berruguete’s The Annunciation, unveiled on 21 May—was the conservation treatment applied to eighteen of the 27 paintings comprising the mural Euskadi (1977–1979) by Agustín Ibarrola (Bilbao, 1930–Galdakao, Bizkaia, 2023), recently loaned to the museum for a ten-year period (commodatum) by the artist’s children. This treatment allowed for not only the material recovery of this iconic work of contemporary Basque art but also the documentary reconstruction of the original installation that Ibarrola created in 1979 for the museum’s former Grey Room. These eighteen works, now held on deposit at the museum, are displayed following restoration along with six additional paintings that the artist included in the original installation ... More
Stephen and Peter Sachs Museum highlights the diversity of scents in plants ST. LOUIS, MO .- A rose by any other name may still smell as sweet, but without roses and other plants, we might not have the perfumes and popular sweet-smelling products we use today. A new interdisciplinary exhibition at the Stephen and Peter Sachs Museum at the Missouri Botanical Garden explores the botanical, cultural, and olfactive history of the spectrum of scents created by plants – from floral to stinky. “Remarkably, despite being integral to our daily lives, scents are overlooked in importance in many ways. Plants contribute so many smells that are so familiar to us, from the flowers and trees we enjoy, the foods and beverages we eat and drink, as well as the perfumes and incense we may use,” Sachs Museum Curator Nezka Pfeifer said. “The world of museums and scientific research has been focused on scent in recent years with opportunities to learn more about which pollinators ...

Tolarno Galleries opens Tim Maguire: Afterimage MELBOURNE.- Afterimage features a stunning array of small paintings, each meticulously arranged to create a vibrant cosmos of colour and creativity, inviting viewers to explore the connection of individual works. The exhibition is a bold move by Maguire, who is renowned for super-sized floral imagery often pulled from art history. These new, chromatically charged works exploit the visual phenomenon of an afterimage and will linger in the visitor’s eye – and mind – long after they have viewed the show. Some of the paintings depict star-laden skies framed by shape-shifting cypress trees. These serene nocturnes were inspired by the night sky at Mondenard in southern France, where Maguire spends part of each year. The area is renowned for having the least light pollution of anywhere in France and visitors are frequently aw ... More
German museums prove economic powerhouse: New study reveals billions in value and jobs BERLIN.- Germany's museums are far more than cultural institutions; they are significant economic drivers, according to a groundbreaking new study released by the Institute for Museum Research. For the first time, this comprehensive report quantifies the substantial economic impact of the country's extensive museum landscape, revealing that public investment in these cultural hubs generates nearly double its value. The study found that for every euro invested by the public sector in museums, an impressive €1.70 in added value is generated. When accounting for tourist spending sparked by museum visits, that figure jumps even higher, leading to an additional €2.40 in economic value. The representative study, which meticulously tracked economic effects across the nation's museums for the 2023 fiscal year, highlighted several key findings: • Billions in Contribution: Germany's nearly ...

Now open - Abstract Erotic: Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, Alice Adams LONDON.- Experience extraordinary sculptures by Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse and Alice Adams at The Courtauld Gallery this summer. Three pioneering artists of the 20th century who, in 1960s New York, produced startling new bodies of work turning modern sculpture on its head. The exhibition foregrounds their shared commitment to using humour and abstract form to ask important questions about sexuality and bodies. The influential critic and curator Lucy Lippard dubbed this kind of work ‘abstract erotic’, and in 1966, Bourgeois, Hesse, and Adams were the only women artists included in Lippard’s ground-breaking exhibition Eccentric Abstraction. Prior to the emergence of the women’s movement, these artists engaged with a feminist politics of the body with their visceral, playful, and abstract forms in materials such as latex, expanding foam, string, and plaster. As Lippard ... More
