PARIS.- Francisco de Zurbarán, along with Diego Velázquez and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, is considered one of the greatest Spanish painters of the 17th century. At first considered a Caravaggista with a focus on monastic ascetism, he was gradually recognised in the 20th century as a prodigious colourist and celebrated for his distinctive personal style, which married a simple treatment of volumes with striking naturalism. Though Zurbarán has been the subject of numerous exhibitions over the last ten years, the last large-scale international presentation to focus on his work had been the joint exhibition Zurbarán, mounted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Grand Palais in 1987–1988. Now, the National Gallery, London, the Musée du Louvre and the Art Institute of Chicago have joined forces to offer their visitors a retrospective that allows them to revisit Zurbarán’s paintings (or discover them for the first time), to better understand his work and to stand in awe of the modernit ...

NEW YORK, NY.- After a festival run that began with its world premiere at the Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival, Keri Pickett’s Uncle Roy will have its New York City premiere at NewFest, New York’s largest LGBTQ+ film festival, on Sunday, October 18 at 6:45 p.m. at SVA Theatre. The feature-length documentary traces the extraordinary life of Roy Blakey, Pickett’s uncle, whose career moved between military service, international ice shows, photography and one of the world’s largest archives devoted to theatrical figure skating. In his final years, as Blakey developed severe dementia, Pickett became his caregiver while racing to preserve the photographs, documents and objects that recorded nearly a century of personal and cultural history. Born in Oklahoma in 1930, Blakey became fascinated by figure skating as a child after seeing Olympic champion Sonja Henie in the 1941 film Sun Valley Serenade. With no ice rink available to him in Enid, Oklahoma, he initially turned t ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- This fall, the American Folk Art Museum presents Locating Girlhood: Place and Identity in Early American “Schoolgirl” Art, a major exhibition bringing together works from across the field. Presented during the nation’s semiquincentennial, Locating Girlhood reexamines the often-overlooked artistic production of girls and young women in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century America, highlighting their sustained engagement with representations of place long before the emergence of more widely recognized traditions of American landscape art. Drawing on loans from institutions and private collections across the United States and Canada, the exhibition offers one of the most significant explorations of early American girls’ artistic achievement ever assembled. “The American Folk Art Museum has long championed the creative achievements of American girls and young women,” said Jason T. Busch, the Museum’s Becky and Bob Alexander Director & CEO. “Since our f ... More

D. Buchloh. In the late 1960s, On Kawara and Lewis Baltz developed, almost simultaneously, radical approaches that would come to transform Conceptual Art and photography respectively—and, through them, our understanding of time and place. The book brings together twelve 'Date ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Judd Foundation presents Yun Hyong-keun, an exhibition of paintings by Yun Hyong-keun at 101 Spring Street in New York. The exhibition reconstructs Hyong-keun Yun 1993, one of the artist’s first solo exhibitions in the United States, organized by Donald Judd and Locks Gallery. Yun Hyong-keun is presented in recognition of the public opening of the Yun Hyong-keun House and organized in partnership with the Estate of Yun Hyong-keun. Yun Hyong-keun (1928–2007) is one of the most important South Korean painters of the twentieth century. Beginning in the 1970s, Yun employed a technique of superimposing pigment and color on unprimed canvas. Later that decade, he began using ultramarine and umber as the sole colors in his paintings, soaking and spreading the paint directly on cloth or linen canvas. The initial brushstrokes determined the work’s composition: a single rectangle, a large area, ... More
Marco Maggi, ABEL and CAIN, 2004-2026, McIntosh apple, dimensions vary.
NEW YORK, NY.- Bienvenu Steinberg & C presents Higher Perplexity, Marco Maggi’s 11th solo exhibition in New York. The exhibition will be on view from October 8 through November 14, 2026. Maggi’s abstract language favors generic formats and materials. Devoid of any symbolism or signification, his vocabulary refers to the way information is processed in a global yet increasingly myopic era. Composed of linear pathways reminiscent of circuit boards, aerial views, genetic engineering and nervous systems, his drawings and sculptures encode the world and turn abstraction into cultural criticism. Born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1957, Marco Maggi lives and works in New York and Uruguay. His work has been shown extensively throughout the United States, Latin America and Europe. He represented Uruguay at the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015. Select exhibitions include: The Iberê Foundation Camargo, Porto Alegre, Brazil (2025); Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX (2022); Museo ...

Tales from the Barrio, Comic Book by Los Four, mid 1970s. Collection Ellie Berkowitz-Handler. Photo: Adriana Domínguez Velasco.
BIEL/BIENNE.- For the first time in Switzerland, “Los Four & Friends” presents an exhibition of Chicanx art in a museum. It showcases the artistic production of Los Four, a Chicano art collective active in California between 1973 and 1984. Centring the history of the collective, the exhibition expands into an exploration of Chicanx art in Los Angeles, from the 1970s to the present. “Chicano”, “Chicana” or “Chicanx” is a self-defined identity adopted by people of Mexican descent in the United States. Reclaimed during the 1960s Chicano civil rights movement (“El Movimiento”), the term became a political and cultural expression of pride in Mexican heritage and a resistance to discrimination. “El Movimiento” fought for economic justice, political representation, educational reform, and the reclamation of Mexican-American identity. Chicanx art cannot be defined within fixed categories. It overflows. Its visual codes are neither ... More

LONDON.- Pace will present a solo booth of new paintings by Brazilian artist Marina Perez Simão at Frieze London 2026. Marking a novel direction in the artist’s practice, the body of paintings on view explores the perceptual possibilities of color through three distinct spectrums of magenta, blue, and gray. Known for her work across painting, watercolor, installation, and drawing, Perez Simão merges interior and exterior landscapes in abstract, undulating compositions alive with movement, color, and light. In her paintings for Frieze London, she activates subtle shifts in tone to create works that change with the viewer’s movement and perspective, at times revealing unexpected variations in hue and temperature. Though they are more focused in chromatic scope than her previous works, as Perez Simão describes, “they are not really monochromes. Instead, I worked with families of blues, grays, and pinks so that each painting behaves as though it contains a full palette.” Pace ... More

Sophie Calle turns her birthday into an artwork as MAXXI prepares major Rome exhibition ROME.- Sophie Calle is bringing her deeply personal investigations of intimacy, memory, absence and loss to Rome this October, beginning with two unusual events that blur the boundaries between private ritual and public participation ahead of the opening of her major MAXXI exhibition. On October 9 — Calle’s birthday — the French conceptual artist will present The Birthday Conference at the MAXXI Auditorium. Rather than asking visitors to purchase a conventional ticket, Calle has proposed a more personal form of admission: each member of the audience is invited to bring her a birthday present. The gesture transforms what might otherwise have been a museum lecture into the kind of participatory experiment that has defined Calle’s practice for nearly five decades. The artist has said that she initially rejected MAXXI’s invitation to speak on her birthday, before realizing ... More
Rekha Rodwittiya celebrates 20th solo exhibition with Sakshi Gallery MUMBAI.- Home is wherever you are marks Rekha Rodwittiya's 20th solo with Sakshi Gallery. Spread across two floors and spanning oil on canvas, embroidery, carpets, photography, and watercolours, the exhibition brings together a wide-ranging body of work that reflects the artist's sustained engagement with memory, lived experience, history and the narratives of women. Also presented for the first time is a series of photographs taken by Rodwittiya in 1978, while studying under the tutelage of Professor Jyoti Bhatt. Rodwittiya's densely layered compositions often create spaces in which personal and collective histories intersect. As the artist observes, “My area of focus resembles a garden—a tiny plot of land that I continually cultivate, till, plow, and harvest.” This process of accumulation and reconfiguration is evident in the ongoing series Home is wherever ...

Bunkier Sztuki collection of Polish contemporary art travels to Reykjavík REYKJAVÍK.- The exhibition features exclusively works from the collection of Bunkier Sztuki, which houses one of the strongest collections of Polish contemporary art in Europe. The exhibition includes photographs, paintings, sculptures, and installations by thirty artists from Poland. The body is at the forefront of the exhibition, which brings together works created predominantly in the 21st century, a period marked by rapid social change, technological advancement, and evolving ideas about the body, identity, and existence. The exhibition directs attention to the body as a living process rather than a fixed entity. It is shaped by environment, technology, social norms, and histories, and is always in relation to other bodies, other lives, and other worlds. The exhibition highlights the diversity and vitality of Polish contemporary art and places it within an international ... More
Maureen Paley presents new exhibition of bronze and raw clay sculptures by Rebecca Warren LONDON.- Maureen Paley presents an exhibition of new sculptures by Rebecca Warren in both Bethnal Green gallery spaces. “I imagined this show as a retrospective being made by a slightly different version of me. Like making your work now, in the usual way, but also oddly in the mode of a retrospective, so that each thing shifts between two time frames. Everything seems familiar but strange somehow, right but not quite right. Like there’s another version of you who’s doing it simultaneously...” -- Rebecca Warren, 2026 There Will Be Another You (2026) is a bronze life-size reclining nude female, dropped or resting, limbs melting or morphing, exposed sinews and wires, two right arms, no left arm, a mix of blur and focus in the rendering. The paint is dripped, striped, pooled. Far more like an effigy on a sarcophagus lid than a woman on a bed. Lying ... More
MOCA Tucson opens Clifford Prince King's first museum exhibition in the Southwest TUCSON, AZ.- MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) Tucson presents After Heaven, a solo exhibition by artist Clifford Prince King that features a new series of photographs, a photo-installation, and a video work. It is the artist’s first museum exhibition in the Southwest. King’s approach to photography is intuitive and diaristic: for him, making a photograph is a way to understand himself, his subjects, and the world around him. He captures subtle, everyday moments that brim with connection, tenderness, and care, registering the expansiveness of Black queer personhood. His photographs often feature friends, lovers, and the artist himself; for After Heaven, King directs his focus to family, place, and landscape in Tucson, Arizona, where he grew up, and nearby Sahuarita on his family’s ranch. Of the series the artist writes, “When the dust has settled / returning ... More

An opening reception will be held Thursday, October 8, 2026. The exhibition is curated by Jess Minicucci.

At CAM, Stiles brings these ideas into an immersive gallery environment, inviting visitors to experience poetry not simply as something read on a page, but as something that can be entered, heard, seen, and inhabited. The title STANZA draws on the word’s layered ... More
DC Moore Gallery presents 'The Meadow's Edge', a new solo exhibition by Eric Aho NEW YORK, NY.- DC Moore Gallery presents Eric Aho: The Meadow’s Edge. In this exhibition, Eric Aho further explores the meadow subject introduced in his 2024 exhibition, Wild Meadow. Returning to the meadow at sunrise, twilight, and throughout the seasons, Aho catches glimpses of transient atmospheres between light and darkness, snow and thaw. Alongside nocturnal paintings of fireflies, moonlit forests, and reimagined Dutch still lifes, Aho addresses the oncoming night and the mysterious forms of illumination therein. Together, these works present an inquiry into the borders of observation and imagination, perception found at the edges of spaces and forms. This exhibition coincides with the release of the artist’s first monograph, written by John Yau, published in September 2026 by Rizzoli Electa. Throughout the seasons, Aho captures the effects ...

Khalif Tahir Thompson explores memory, tragedy, and Black American identity in new London exhibition LONDON.- Victoria Miro presents Send in the Clowns, an exhibition of new paintings by Khalif Tahir Thompson. This is the gallery’s first solo presentation of Thompson’s work since announcing representation of the artist. Born and based in Brooklyn, Khalif Tahir Thompson invites viewers into the everyday lives of his subjects through vibrant domestic scenes, full of texture and pattern that create an expansive form of portraiture, both individual and collective, weaving through time. Send in the Clowns takes its title from the 1973 theatrical ballad written by Stephen Sondheim and famously sung by Jazz vocalist Sarah Vaughn. “The phrase ‘send in the clowns’ is a metaphor for bringing in comedic relief or distractions when a plan fails or a situation turns chaotic,” says Thompson. “For me, it resonates deeply: it reflects the layered facets of my life and experiences, ...
