NEW YORK, NY.- The New Museum announced today that Lisa Phillips, the institution’s Toby Devan Lewis Director, will retire from the Museum in April 2026 after twenty-six years of leadership and following the expanded Museum’s public reopening. Board President James Keith Brown said, “During Lisa’s extraordinary tenure, the New Museum has grown from a small experimental organization into a major international powerhouse with a widely acclaimed program.

LONDON.- Pace Gallery will present a solo booth of new work by British painter William Monk at Frieze London 2025. The presentation brings together entirely new paintings and works on paper and coincides with the release of the artist’s first comprehensive monograph, published by Phaidon in June 2025. Produced over the course of the past year, following his travels to the islands of Conica and Mallorca, this presentation weaves threads from Monk’s earlier series into a new body of work. Central to the presentation is the figure of the sentinel: solitary, watchful, and quietly enduring. Impressions of the Mediterranean saturate this figure’s surroundings, which meditate as much on memory and perception as on the specific features of the coastal landscape. Cacti emerge as a central motif in Monk’s new paintings. Abstracted into swathes of vibrant color, their pin-pricked ovoid forms blur the line between the real and surreal—a tension that is fundamental to his practice. ... More
Edward Weston, Excusado, Mexico. October 1925. Center for Creative Photography, The University of Arizona. Edward Weston Archive.
MADRID.- Fundación MAPFRE presents Edward Weston. The Matter of Forms, an exhibition devoted to over five decades of work by this American artist, one of the most influential figures in modern photography. Weston’s work, deeply rooted in the American landscape and cultural history, offer —through its extreme simplicity and originality— a unique perspective on the consolidation of photography as an art form and its prominent role in the context of modern visual culture. The exhibition is conceived as a retrospective spanning the different phases of the artist’s photographic production. From his early pictorialist influences to his establishment as a central figure in the affirmation of photography’s poetic and intellectual potential through the lens of straight photography. A pioneer of modern photographic style, Weston is known for his use of a large-format camera, creating richly detailed, sharply focused black-and-white images. ... More

MUNSTER.- The LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur in Münster presents the exhibition ‘Kirchner. Picasso’ from 26.9.2025 until 18.1.2026. It is the first show to explore these two singular artists and their surprising parallels in such depth. From the vibrant life of the big city to the intimacy of the studio and the stillness of the mountains: At the beginning of the 20th century, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Pablo Picasso bore witness to a new era, with their works speaking of change, crisis and passion. Though they never met in person, their pictorial worlds and styles converged. 100 works from major European museums will highlight the similarities and contrasts between two of the most important modernist artists. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Pablo Picasso were born just one year apart, in the German Empire and in Spain. Their paths to art differed widely, yet both shared a passion for innovation ... More
LONDON.- A 1960s children’s book about a mouse serving as a guard at Buckingham Palace is being published for the first time in decades by Royal Collection Trust, a department of the Royal Household, making this captivating tale available to a new generation of young readers. The Guard Mouse tells the story of Clyde, a mouse who works as a King’s Guard outside Buckingham Palace. Upon stepping down from his position one day, the Guard Mouse hears his name being called – his long-lost cousins from abroad have come to visit him. The story follows the mice on the adventures they get up to in the night, including a detour to Covent Garden Market and a ride on the top of a double-decker tour bus, before duty calls the Guard Mouse back to his sentry box in front of Buckingham Palace the next morning. The book, written and illustrated by Don Freeman, was a success when it was first published in 1967, before falling out of print. When t ... More

Eleanor Antin, The King of Solana Beach, 1974-75. Courtesy of the artist, Andrew Kreps Gallery, New York and Richard Saltoun Gallery, London, Rome and New York.
LUXEMBOURG.- Since the late 1960s, American performance artist Eleanor Antin has challenged conventional ideas of artistic identity by inventing and embodying a range of alter egos that spanned genders, social roles, geographies and historical periods. She refers to these personas as her ‘selves’, presenting them across diverse media, including literature, film, sculpture and more. Through these transformations, Antin explores identity as inherently fluid and performative while exposing the instability of the social structures built upon it. This perspective was instrumental in shaping the politically engaged art of the 1980s and 1990s and continues to resonate in contemporary practices. Mudam Luxembourg – Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean presents the first large-scale European ... More
CHADDS FORD, PA.- Opening at the Brandywine Museum of Art this fall, Jerrell Gibbs: No Solace in the Shade will survey the first decade of the career of Baltimore artist Jerrell Gibbs (b. 1988). His dynamic, large-scale figurative paintings of family, friends and community focus on everyday scenes of Black life, transforming them into monumental moments that highlight the universal themes of identity, reflection and belonging. Organized by the Brandywine, this project will mark the artist’s first solo museum exhibition and first monographic publication—and is also the Museum’s first solo presentation of an emerging contemporary artist. The exhibition will feature more than 30 paintings drawn from both museum and private collections throughout the United States and Europe, and it will be on view at the Brandywine from September 28, 2025, through March 1, 2026. Across Gibbs’s career, he has challenged the near ... More
DURHAM, NC.- The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University presents Sherman Fleming: Unsettled, the first solo exhibition dedicated to the trailblazing performance and multimedia artist Sherman Fleming, who has long operated on the periphery of the mainstream art world despite his deep influence on generations of performance artists and cultural thinkers. On view from September 13, 2025, through January 18, 2026, the show spans more than four decades of Fleming’s radical practice and marks a long-overdue institutional recognition of an artist whose work has critically shaped conversations around race, trauma, and the Black body in performance art. Based in Philadelphia, Sherman Fleming has forged a powerful artistic language through his use of endurance, vulnerability, and symbolism. From the late 1970s to the present, ... More

Smithsonian American Art Museum debuts monumental new commission by Nick Cave in February 2026 WASHINGTON, DC.- The Smithsonian American Art Museum will debut “Nick Cave: Mammoth,” a monumental new body of work by internationally acclaimed artist Nick Cave, in February 2026. Commissioned by the museum, “Mammoth” marks Cave’s first solo exhibition in Washington, D.C. and represents the museum’s largest-ever commission by a single artist. “Mammoth” is Cave’s most personal project to date. Drawing on his childhood in Chariton County, Missouri—where his grandparents farmed and where the quilts, tools and clothing they made were a part of everyday life—Cave roots this installation in family history, landscapes and craft traditions. He transforms these sources into a world animated by memory and the transformative possibilities of the imagination. Combining sculpture, video and found objects, the exhibition reflects on the artist’s own creative impulse ... More

Mai 36 Galerie now representing Maia Ruth Lee ZURICH.- Mai 36 Galerie announced the representation of Maia Ruth Lee (*1983, Busan, South Korea). Maia Ruth Lee’s work explores the shifting landscapes of language, memory and identity within the context of migration and personal mythology. Born in South Korea, raised in Nepal, and having lived in cities as varied as New York and Salida, Colorado, she has developed a visual language that navigates the dislocation and fluidity of cross cultural experience. Her practice spans photography, video, painting, and sculpture, examining lives shaped by precarity and unrootedness—where maps, atlases, and banners serve as markers of movement and, often, of loss. Through translation as a method, Lee moves her work across mediums, linking themes of borders, community, and language with material embodiments of carriers and acts of self-preservation. Lee’s ...

Mattress Factory opens the first U.S. solo exhibition by Cairo-based artist Yasmine El Meleegy PITTSBURGH, PA.- Mattress Factory is presenting Red Gold, the first U.S. solo exhibition by Cairo-based artist Yasmine El Meleegy (b. 1991). Rooted in research conducted in Egypt’s Nile Valley, Red Gold transforms the museum’s gallery into a meditation on food, labor, and globalization through the simple sun-dried tomato. In Egypt, rows of bright red Roma tomatoes dry under the Mediterranean sun, their market value rising more than twenty-fold as they shrink in size and grow in economic importance. Dubbed “red gold,” this export commodity embodies the contradictions of tradition and modernization, foreign aid and economic precarity, local labor and global agribusiness. For Mattress Factory, El Meleegy takes salt, the essential element of tomato preservation, as her central sculptural medium. Mixed with water and cornstarch and cast into custom molds, salt tiles ...

Christopher Steenson's solo show explores power, politics, and the corncrake's call DUBLIN.- Christopher Steenson’s solo exhibition at mother’s tankstation, Dublin, titled They haven’t gone away you know, is comprised of a series of artworks that explore power struggles between the individual and the state, from both human and more-than-human perspectives. This body of work, collectively titled The Long Grass (2022-24), was bourne through an extensive period of research surrounding the corncrake – a bird that has taken on symbolic meaning in relation to Irish independence. Once prosperous and widespread across Ireland and Britain, the corncrake was known as the sound of the Irish summer, with its distinctive call permeating the countryside’s soundscape. The corncrake is now almost extinct, due to the rapid development in mechanised farming over the last fifty years, with the bird’s call now only heard in remote sections ... More

Adam Baker's debut: Finding meaning in the intimate moments of queer life LONDON.- In many ways, British artist Adam Baker's debut exhibition at BEERS London is about searching for meaning through moments of intimacy. These imagined snapshots of queer life and love depict different ways in which we pursue meaning and purpose in our lives, through hedonistic pursuits or the quiet closeness of reading a book, Baker states his paintings are a form of therapy, bridging the gap between his goals as an artist, and those of a young gay man living in the big bustling city of London. Queerness, caution, celebration. These paintings are rife with themes that straddle a fine line between quietness and excess. They draw upon a broad visual language - whether reminiscent of the lyrical prose scenes of the recently deceased author Edmund White; or tropes found in film of dimly lit bars or those soul-aching post-coital and pre-meaning moments ...

Zoya Cherkassky's first solo show explores 'new politics of pleasure' CHICAGO, IL.- The Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society is presenting Zoya Cherkassky: The Global Political Crisis, on view from September 25, 2025, through January 9, 2026. This is the first solo presentation by the Soviet-born Israeli artist since relocating from Tel Aviv to Long Island earlier this year. The exhibition is centrally grounded in the glaring contradiction between its title and its content. A suite of five mid-sized acrylic paintings and an assembly of some fifty smaller watercolor drawings are rendered in the artist’s signature diaristic, observational style. They depict scenes of a mostly erotic nature—nudes, couples in varying stages of undress, people having sex. The exhibition also includes an erotic sculpture and a small collection of jokey pornographic tchotchkes. The artist, whose penchant for pithy cartoonish commentary has made her no ... More

C24 Gallery showcases three artists tracing forms and liminal spaces NEW YORK, NY.- C24 Gallery presents Traces featuring works by Vidal Mouet, Leda Tsoutreli, and Elise Coker. Grounded in the traditional elements of painting: space, line, color, and surface; the exhibition delves into the dialogue between object and representation. Vidal Mouet treats each painting as a body, one that must locate itself in the room. The front, back, and edge matter equally as shaped and modular supports become the answers to thresholds and joints. Ordinary forms like stacked cups, sheets of cardboard, and the circle of a ceiling speaker are translated into new forms explored through the rectangle of a canvas. The works respond to their surroundings and architectural forms even as they establish their own physicality. They hold space for both representational references and new uncovered objects. Leda Tsoutreli engages with traditional ... More
