CONCORD, MASS.-Lucy Lacoste Gallery is honored to present the ground-breaking group exhibition Evolving Clay: Where Tradition Meets Transformation, up through April 18, 2026 in Concord Massachusetts. Evolving Clay invites viewers into a space where ancient material meets contemporary art for radical storytelling and cultural reclamation. Curated by ceramist and professor Michael Dela Dika of Ghana, in collaboration with Lucy Lacoste Gallery, the exhibition traces clay's expansive journey from its utilitarian roots to its reimagining as a vehicle for political commentary and spiritual depth. Clay’s responsiveness—its ability to be formed, broken, and repaired—mirrors the migrations and diasporas that shape many of these artists’ lives and practices. In this way, Evolving Clay becomes an aesthetic exploration and a conceptual inquiry into how we remember, resist, and rebuild through material. From raw earth to refined form, the works on view r ... More

Trois Livres au Coucher du Soleil.
LONDON.-Shapero Modern is staging an exhibition by London and Sussex-based 3D-artist Jack Milroy from the 15th April to the 17th May 2026. This is the first time Jack has exhibited at Shapero on New Bond Street, and he has chosen works created from books, appropriately naming the exhibition Bibliophilia. This follows on the heels of his show Post Card Post Book at Benjamin Rhodes Gallery, London in 2025. Glasgow-born Milroy can look back on a long, successful career, with 30 solo exhibitions in London and the US, that saw him start his art education in his adopted home county of Yorkshire (Scarborough School of Art 1956 to 1960) and continued at London University before teaching at West Surrey College of Art and Design in Farnham. His work can be found in the V&A, Imperial War Museum, the British Library and a number of hospitals, including Great Ormond Street, the UK Government Art Collection, the Kit Kemp collection and the Caldic Coll ...

PARIS.- In Harare, there is a heap of bright blue keyboard keys, sorted by someone with the patience most of us can only imagine. For years, Moffat Takadiwa has been gathering these fragments from the landfills around Mbare, a neighborhood that doubles as both a recycling hub and a monument to the afterlife of mostly Western consumer goods. Each key once helped someone in London or Los Angeles dash off an email, now long forgotten. Takadiwa fits them into patterns, circular and repetitive, each arrangement held together with a kind of stubborn precision. The result is beautiful, which is where the trouble begins. If beauty could settle old scores, the art world would have solved more than it has. Takadiwa, who has spent nearly twenty years in this terrain, seems to understand that. Rearranging the materials does not erase their origins. If you have ever pressed 'delete' and believed the problem was gone, his work offers a quiet correction. Nothing disappears; it only travels, usually to places ... More
Thomas Scheibitz, OSO, 2017. Oil, vinyl, spray paint, pigment marker on canvas, 280 × 450 cm | 110 1/4 × 177 1/8 inches.
LONDON.- Thomas Scheibitz draws equally from everyday life and from art history, distilling both into dense, vividly coloured paintings and elusive sculptures: repositories of accumulated imagery, layered and compressed until the familiar becomes something stranger and harder to place. The organising principle is tectonic, a structural system of forms and visual codes through which he constructs his own pictorial language. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers present Bright Shadows, a solo exhibition of new and recent works by Scheibitz at the London gallery, spanning from 2017 to the present. The show’s title serves not as a contradiction but as an artistic proposition that places at its centre an easily overlooked means of representation: the shadow. In painterly tradition, it is composed of all other colours rather than black, a play between absence and presence; for Scheibitz, “the shadow is a realm, like a ... More
the ESSENCE.
AMSTERDAM.- From 10 April 2026, STRAAT Museum presents the ESSENCE, an exhibition exploring the cultural significance of graffiti. Featuring objects, materials, and stories from the Dutch Graffiti Library collection—which has been documenting graffiti culture for over 35 years—the exhibition highlights the intentions, codes, and foundations of graffiti. On the occasion of the exhibition, legendary New York graffiti pioneer Bill Blast aka Wise (William Cordero) created a new work and host a blackbook signing session on Saturday 11 April. From the handball courts and the underground in New York to the rise of the Dutch graffiti scene, the ESSENCE shows how graffiti evolved into a global visual language and laid the foundation for contemporary movements such as urban contemporary and street art. The exhibition focuses on the core of graffiti: names, tags, strokes, and repetition as the building blocks of a visual system. Line, form, flow, and rhythm merge into a unique visual language, driv ... More
Andy Warhol (1928-1987), Mick Jagger, 1975. Screenprint in colors on on Arches Aquarelle paper, 43-3/4 x 29 in. Estimate: $80,000 - $120,000.
DALLAS, TX.- Heritage’s April 23 Prints & Multiples Signature® Auction brings together a tightly curated selection of 94 works that underscore the breadth and sophistication of postwar and contemporary printmaking. Anchored by major works from David Hockney, Andy Warhol, Joan Mitchell and Lynda Benglis, the sale emphasizes collaboration, technical innovation and the enduring appeal of editioned works by some of the most influential artists of the 20th century. “This is a very deliberate sale,” says Desiree Pakravan, Heritage’s Consignment Director of Prints and Multiples. “Every work was chosen for its relevance and its ability to represent a defining moment in an artist’s printmaking practice.” Among the leading highlights is David Hockney’s Hotel Acatlan, Two Weeks Later, from Moving Focus (1985), a vibrant diptych that exemplifies the artist’s ongoing exploration of perception and shifting viewpoints. Published by Tyler Graphics, the work belongs to H ... More
Portrait of Not Vital. Photo: Philippe Servan.
LONDON.- Thaddaeus Ropac London is presenting Listening + Looking, a solo exhibition by Not Vital. Spanning almost two decades of the Swiss artist’s practice, the exhibition brings together a selection of sculptures from 2009 to the present and his latest series of painted self-portraits, exemplifying Vital’s multidisciplinary approach and his alternative – at times humorous and illogical – strategies of representation. Rooted in the natural landscape of his native Engadin valley and shaped by the rhythms of his nomadic lifestyle, Vital’s work engages with questions of habitat and environment, as well as the intersections between painting, sculpture and architecture. Over the course of his career, he has challenged traditional notions of depiction, offen adopting unconventional logics to represent the human form in its most essential and economic terms. Since his earliest works he has treated the body not as a fixed, hermetic object, but as a site of symbiotic exchange ... More
Sojourner Truth Parsons, A broken heart I, 2026. Acrylic on canvas, 45,7 x 35,6 cm.
PARIS.- Esther Schipper Paris announced Sooner or later you will call my name, Sojourner Truth Parsons’s second solo exhibition with the gallery and her first in Paris, where she will debut a suite of new paintings. Parsons’s practice ties the study of light to the desires and fantasies that color our perception of the world. Celestial bodies, flowers, and her home city’s high-rises serve as anchoring forms in works that speak of a time of loss, isolation, and also resurgence. The atmospheric temperature of her environments – such as her neighborhood, her studio, or her garden – are distilled into their emotional essence. From coats of black acrylic paint, arise iridescent shapes and shimmering surfaces, painted with thin washes in acutely tactile brushstrokes. In the new suite of paintings, the segmented order of Parsons’s series Garden paintings collapses into an uneven tableau coated in viscous, shimmering forms in new constellations. In her early work, Parsons ... More
Amol K Patil, The Shadow of Lustre I, 2024. Bronze, moving light bulb, 31 x 41 cm (12 ¼ x 16 ⅛ in.) Ed. 1/2 (+1 AP).
ZURICH.- The Shadow of Lustre is the first solo presentation in Switzerland by internationally recognized artist Amol K Patil. The artist exhibits bronze sculptures, paintings, drawings and video works, in the pulsating lights of his poetic installations. The artist explores issues concerning the Indian caste and class system, and the invisibility of the working class in social narratives. The exhibition was created in collaboration with Röda Sten Konsthall in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2025, curated by Amila Puzić. This is a new chapter of the exhibition that focuses on the experiences of Dalits, members of the lowest caste in India, who moved from villages to cities and settled in the working-class neighborhoods of the artist's hometown of Mumbai. ‘’The idea of the exhibition is based on seeing and experiencing the traces of human history, lives and conversations of different generations behind wall cracks, through layers of paint, across skin and touch.’’ Amol K Patil The ...

Ikram Abdulkadir.
COPENHAGEN.- Hands held together. Bodies forming circles, then rows. Standing side by side. Fabric drapes softly over shoulders and arms. A way of relating to one another. A quiet articulation of sisterhood. In We Will Meet Again in Paradise, her first exhibition with NILS STÆRK, Ikram Abdulkadir presents a series of works shaped by intimacy, care, and shared experience. Working within a documentary photographic tradition, she photographs the women closest to her – sisters, friends, and members of her community – approaching the camera as both participant and observer. The images arise from everyday environments, both urban and domestic, yet carry a heightened sense of presence and attention. Across the works, individuals and groups of young women appear in flowing jilbaabs, forming quiet constellations of bodies and gazes. At times they meet the camera directly; at others they turn toward one another or away, absorbed in their own exchange, or appearing alone. Moving between portrait and ... More
“No one can take my Soul” by Mahdi Vaghari, Iran is the Peace Image of the Year 2025.
BADEN.- From 24,189 entries from 132 countries, the jury of the Global Peace Photo Award selected the work "No one can take my Soul” by Iranian photographic artist Mahdi Vaghari as the Peace Image of the Year 2025. On 30 March 2026 the winners of the international Global Peace Photo Award photography competition were presented with the Alfred Fried Peace Medal for the thirteenth time. In his welcoming address, Omar Al-Rawi, who attended on behalf of the Mayor of Vienna, Michael Ludwig, emphasised how important it is to provide a forum for peace in these times. Only through dialogue will we succeed in overcoming the current wars. Only liberal democracies, which are able to respond clearly to differing viewpoints without marginalising them, can provide the framework for this. The Global Peace Photo Award honours photographers who have used their lens to "put their finger on the wound”. The main prize, the "Peace Image of the Year 2025”, worth 7,000 euros, went to the Iranian photo ... More

Tanka Fonta receives 2026 Wi Di Mimba Wi Prize EINBECK.- Tanka Fonta is the third recipient of the Wi Di Mimba Wi Prize. Wi Di Mimba Wi is an initiative by AKB Stiftung and SAVVY Contemporary, established in 2021 as a long-term commission grant for artists of colour based in Germany. The selected artist receives a one year working grant of 30,000 EUR, as well as funds to support the creation of a new artwork and curatorial support. Tanka Fonta was born in Buea, Cameroon, in 1966. In his multidisciplinary practice, the visual artist, composer, poet, writer, instrumentalist, and philosopher explores human consciousness, the psychology of perception, and the subtle interplay between thought, language, sound, and visual phenomena. He examines the expressive and perceptual dimensions of thought, the evolving ecologies of the mind, and the mythopoetic narratives through which consciousness materialises. Fluent ... More
Þórdís Erla Zoëga examines the new reality of the home at BERG Contemporary REYKJAVÍK.- In her exhibition Domestic Sci-fi, Þórdís Erla Zoëga focuses on the shaping forces of our time, where natural processes are confronted with artificial intelligence and the ever-accelerating technological developments of today. It sheds light on our current period of transformation, where the domestic and technological merge and a new kind of reality takes shape. Blinds are domestic utility objects, marking the boundaries of inside and outside. In Zoëga's world, they no longer obscure the view; they have become it. The viewer is situated in an indoor safe space, while simultaneously aware of the instability of the outside world. In her work Forecast, Zoëga adopts the predictive powers of artificial intelligence. It presents possible future outcomes, sunrises, and sunsets, predicted far into the future. The AI images are further processed by the artist, as each photo ... More
From Outlaws to Poets: Bonnie and Clyde Archive among highlights in Heritage's Americana & Political Auction DALLAS, TX.- The mystique surrounding Bonnie and Clyde is less about who they were and more about their story and how it has been told and romanticized over the years. Criminals during the Great Depression, robbing banks and stores and assuming the roles of revered outlaws, rebels who pushed back against a system many considered broken. They were wanted by law enforcement because of their behavior that became the stuff of legend. Newspapers essentially celebrated their exploits through sensational headlines and sometimes photos. No longer were they common criminals; instead, they evolved into folk heroes on the run. Now collectors will have an opportunity to pursue some of the creative work of the duo when Bonnie ... More
Henry Art Gallery announces major 2026 exhibition lineup SEATTLE, WA.- This spring/summer, the Henry Art Gallery at the University of Washington presents a group of exhibitions reflecting the museum’s commitment to being a catalyst for artists and a space for inquiry, connection, and change.

Àngel Jové: De intactu - A major retrospective opens at Museu Tàpies BARCELONA.- The exhibition presents a broad selection of Àngel Jové’s (Lleida, 1940 – Girona, 2023) work, created with some of the main ideas that drove his artistic practice, such as serialism and the infinite gesture, the horizon as a place separating light and dark, emptiness or pain and trauma as consequences of war and exile. In the words of the curator of the project, art historian Maria Josep Balsach, “This exhibition is not intended as an anthological exhibition of one of the most multi-faceted creative talents in Spain, but was approached as a constellation of individual works and different times based on the power of the image seen as a critical operator, as a form of thought, with all its historical aesthetic, political and documentary power.” The project aims to amplify and make visible Jové’s work, starting from the idea of considering the image beyond the image ...

Gōzō Yoshimasu explores the threshold of language and memory at Peter Freeman Inc. PARIS.- Reflecting a particular Japanese conception of the world—one of constant flux, in which reality is subject to change and all things are impermanent—Gōzō Yoshimasu’s works resemble existential landscapes in their ability to draw equally from the abstraction of thought and the observation of the living world. Now regarded as one of the most singular figures in modern Japanese poetry, the artist and poet—born in Tokyo in 1939—has, since the 1960s, sought to radically and profoundly renew poetic writing, both in its forms of enunciation and in its modes of appearance. In other words, his is a writing of emotion, always open to its surroundings, that he explores through engagement with various disciplines—painting, photography, and film—or reinterprets in performative contexts through vocalizations, gestures, and collaborations with other artists. Situated ... More
Kirstin Arndt investigates the threshold of sculpture and painting at Rehbein Galerie COLOGNE.- Possibility describes a state of the not-yet. It is not a fixed condition but a dynamic constellation of movement; a structure of potentials, forces and relations. At the moment it takes shape, possibility condenses into the decision for a particular form among a multitude of conceivable variations. Against this background, the works of Kirstin Arndt can be approached. Her artistic practice investigates material, structure as well as architectural and spatial conditions, with the idea of a form always serving as the point of departure. Through trial, error and experiment she engages with these circumstances. They do not function as fixed givens but rather as conditions through which a form can take shape. “How little line is needed for a surface to emerge?” seems to be the question underlying many of her studies and works. At the same time, this question touches ... More
