Beth Dary, Druzy, 2026. Glass pins, steel frame, fabric, encaustic, 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 x 3 inches, 31.8 x 31.8 x 7.6 cm.
GREENWICH, CONN.-Heather Gaudio Fine Art is presenting On Point, a four-person exhibition featuring new works by Sarah Amos, Beth Dary, Kathleen Kucka, and Susan Schwalb. The show runs through August 15th. The artists in this exhibition have dedicated their careers to exploring various abstract aesthetics through different techniques and materiality. Their processes are universal and have transcended the ages and, in some instances, bridged the utilitarian spheres into the fine arts realm. Themes that preoccupy their formal artistic investigations include repetition, cultural rituals, complexity, natural systems and the role humans play on all of these, directly or indirectly. Biomorphic and ritualistic forms become imaginative psychological landscapes for Sarah Amos, sourced from the personal ... More
PITTSBURGH, PA.- The Andy Warhol Museum announces Sharif Bey: Homecoming, on view June 26 – October 12, 2026. Drawing from Pittsburgh-born ceramic artist, sculptor and educator Sharif Bey’s experiences across various creative communities, residencies and partnerships, this exhibition celebrates Bey’s return to his hometown and the wealth of techniques, connections and artistic insights he brings back with him. Bey creates complex sculptures inspired by modernism, functional pottery and Oceanic and African art. With references to childhood memories of Pittsburgh’s urban landscape, his work provides commentary on identity and home that has multiple interpretations: the physical return to a meaningful place of origin, an introspective journey through personal history and memory and a reconnection with artistic roots and traditions. Bey’s monumental ceramic sculptures are being shown alongside artwork from The Warhol’s permanent collection by Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basqui ... More
Farah Atassi, Rebirth, 2026. Oil on canvas, 73 x 60.3 x 2.5 cm. 28 3/4 x 23 3/4 x 1 in.
NEW YORK, NY.-Almine Rech New York is presenting Metamorphosis, Farah Atassi’s fifth solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from June 26 to July 31, 2026. “My soul is wrought to sing of forms transformed to bodies new and strange!” The invocation from Ovid’s Metamorphoses is an apt preface for Farah Atassi’s new body of work. Across these eight paintings, transformed forms abound, deconstructed through a liberation of mind and brushstroke. In Nocturne, a curious form, both vegetal and human, stands in an indeterminate space, part interior, part Baconesque cage. We sense that a change is under way, as her constructed surroundings yield to more uncanny elements. Clouds drift through the scene with utter disregard for the walls and the window frame. It is day outside, yet a full moon hangs in the corner. This was the first painting the artist completed in the series, and as it opened up a new world for her, so it does f ... More
Kees van Dongen (1877-1968), Portrait of Brigitte Bardot, 1959. Estimate: €800,000 - 1,200,000.
PARIS.- Kept out of public view for more than sixty years in Kees van Dongen’s studio, the portrait of Brigitte Bardot painted in 1959 reappears today. This large-format oil on canvas (130 x 97 cm), set against a yellow background of an intensity characteristic of the artist’s palette, comes directly from his estate. Estimated at €800,000 - 1,200,000, this work by Van Dongen will be one of the highlights of the Selected 20/21 auction organised by Artcurial on October 24th, 2026, alongside Art Basel Paris. When Kees van Dongen painted this portrait in his Paris studio at 75 rue de Courcelles, he was at the height of his fame. A resident of Monaco with a particularly active social life, the former Fauvist had become the favorite portraitist of international high society. He immortalised many of the most prominent personalities of his era, from Arletty and Maurice Chevalier to Sacha Guitry. Facing him was Brigitte Bardot, a global phenomenon since the success of d’Et Dieu… créa la femme (And God ... More

LONDON.- In what became a historic evening at Sotheby’s London on June 24, Masterpieces from The Lewis Collection, together with the company’s annual June evening sale of Modern & Contemporary art, realised a combined £393.4m / $520.7m — the highest auction total ever achieved in a single night in Europe. The record result was propelled by a group of masterpieces from the legendary Lewis Collection, which brought a total of £296.3m / $392.6m, well in excess of the combined pre-sale estimate for the group (£190.2-273.6m) and establishing a new record high for any single owner sale ever staged in London. Determined bidding from around the world drove many prices to levels well in excess of pre-sale expectations, with a number of works selling for multiples of their pre-sale estimates, and with as many as eleven bidders pursuing certain lots. The results were led by a sensuous nude by Amedeo Modigliani ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- DIMIN is presenting Matt Phillips: Recent Paintings, the newest body of work from the Brooklyn-based artist. In Matt Phillips’ light-filled studio, ambivalence, confusion and doubt are frequent companions. While his paintings are made with a limited vocabulary of motifs—grids, curving lines, geometric forms, texture, and color, the visual relationships existing between these malleable elements quickly become complex and dynamic. As Phillips suggests, poetry resides precisely within this tension. This contradiction between simplicity and complexity is difficult to reconcile, but remains at the heart of his practice. In a 2024 Brooklyn Rail conversation with artist and writer Jason Stopa, Matt Phillips discusses an abstract painting practice rooted in luminosity, improvisation, and the productive tensions between certainty and doubt. Stopa likens Phillips' approach to “musical improvisation,” where paintings develop through a process of revision and discovery. Central to the work is a la ... More
A sculpture attributed to the maize god, recovered in San Damián Texoloc, Tlaxcala, is being analyzed. Photo: Enrique Chávez, CINAH Tlaxcala.
TLAXCALA.- A basalt stone sculpture discovered on private property in San Damián Texoloc, Tlaxcala, is being studied by specialists from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History after initial analysis identified it as a probable representation of the maize god. The piece, recovered a few months ago when a trench was being opened, dates to the Epiclassic period, between 600 and 900 AD, and is associated with the Olmeca-Xicalanca culture. It is currently under study and protection in the Research Section of the Ocotelulco Site Museum. Measuring 29 centimeters and weighing about 30 kilograms, the sculpture consists of the head of a youthful figure with an elongated skull, almond-shaped eyes, broad nose and thick lips. Archaeologist José Eduardo Contreras Martínez, of the INAH Tlaxcala Center, led the recovery of the piece and is overseeing its study. The head is carved in basalt and decorated with a tiara. At the center of the tiara is a triangular projection, while the sides joi ... More
“Carian Wild Goat Style” Trefoil Oinochoe, Eastern Greek, ca. late 7th–early 6th century B.C., terracotta, h. 19.1 cm (7 1/2 in.).
LONDON.- Colnaghi is spotlighting six works from In Vino Veritas: The Visual Rhetoric of Wine, its London exhibition exploring the visual culture of wine, drinking, conviviality and still life across centuries. On view at Colnaghi London through July 31, 2026, the exhibition brings together antiquities and paintings that trace how wine and its rituals have shaped artistic production, social exchange and symbolic meaning from the Bronze Age to the early modern period. Among the works featured are five antiquities priced under £25,000, along with a bonus Spanish still life painting. Together, they offer a compact journey through the evolution of drinking vessels, decorative traditions and the cultural settings in which wine was consumed, poured, celebrated and represented. Two Mycenaean kylikes from the 14th century B.C. open the selection. Both terracotta vessels belong to one of the earliest Greek traditions of drinking cups. Created during a period of Mycenaean expansion, the works show a mome ... More

CHICAGO, IL.- For 50 years, Kenzi Shiokava’s sculptural practice revolved around a central preoccupation: the recovery and transformation of castoff materials. His studio—a cavernous warehouse in Compton and an artwork in and of itself—brimmed with items salvaged from secondhand stores, the street, and the shore: action figures, telephone poles, and driftwood among them, all awaiting reincarnation as wooden totems and assemblage. Through intuitive acts of carving and arranging, the artist unearthed what he described as the “inner movement” of everyday objects, revealing their spiritual vitality and reinvigorating them with life. Kenzi Shiokava is the artist’s first solo museum exhibition, gathering over 50 sculptures made across five decades, from the 1970s to the 2010s. The presentation is anchored by two core bodies of work: abstract totems meticulously carved from wood and enigmatic box installations animated by toys, dried plants, and stones. The exhibition underscores the transcultural nature o ... More
TOKYO.- Pace will present Noon Day Night, an exhibition of paintings by William Monk, at its Tokyo gallery from June 30 through August 16. Marking the artist’s first solo show in Japan, Noon Day Night will feature new and recent works from Monk’s ongoing series exploring liminality and the metaphysical. Drawing inspiration from an array of sources, including classic cinema and psychedelic rock, as well as lived experiences and images that accumulate in his subconscious, Monk paints compositions that occupy a surreal terrain of semi-abstraction. Evocative, vibrant, and often mysterious, his paintings are rooted in the rich art historical traditions of the medium. His recurring Sentinel figure—a guide poised at the threshold between worlds—finds a poetic resonance in Japan, echoing the Buddhist notion of higan, or the other shore, and the cycle of death and rebirth and the attainment of Nirvana. This crossing over or going beyond is seen in Monk’s extensive series, in wh ... More
PARIS.- Galleria Continua is presenting the group show Plein Soleil, shown across its two Paris spaces, located respectively in the Marais and Matignon districts. The two exhibitions feature works by Adel Abdessemed, Ai Weiwei, Juan Araujo, Barbana Bojadzi, Hans Op de Beeck, Yoan Capote, Loris Cecchini, Elizabet Cerviño, Nikhil Chopra, Berlinde De Bruyckere, Leandro Erlich, Subodh Gupta, JR, José Mesías, Giovanni Ozzola, Serse, Nedko Solakov, Marta Spagnoli, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Nari Ward, Sislej Xhafa and José Yaque. Bringing together artists from different generations and geographies, working across a range of practices, Plein Soleil sets out to evoke the sensations we typically associate with the summer season. Light becomes material, colors gain in intensity, while landscapes, bodies, and natural elements unfold in a surge of vitality and blossoming. Hovering between contemplation and celebration of the living, the works on view in both galleries evoke that time of year when time seems ... More
BERLIN.- Esther Schipper announced the representation of Camille Henrot. Camille Henrot's work has been enormously influential on contemporary art. Over more than twenty years of activity, her impact can be traced in new approaches across media and artistic practices. The wide range of inspirations that informs her vision spans literature, second-hand marketplaces, poetry, cartoons, manga, social media, self-help, and, ultimately, the banality of everyday life. Henrot is interested in systems of rules, structures and codes of conduct – and how to break them. Her practice speaks with clarity and humor, humility and bravery, about the complexity of being a private individual and citizen in a globalized and overstimulated world. Esther Schipper will represent Camille Henrot in partnership with Mennour and Hauser & Wirth. Camille Henrot was born in 1978 in Paris, France. She currently lives and works in New York. Henrot was awarded the Silver Lion for a promising young artist at the 55th Venice Bie ... More

Hetzler │ Marfa hosts comprehensive Rinus Van de Velde solo exhibition MARFA, TX.- Hetzler | Marfa is presenting The Dinner, a solo exhibition of recent works by Rinus Van de Velde, for the gallery’s annual presentation in Marfa, Texas. Bringing together oil pastels, charcoals, sculpture, and film, the exhibition presents the most comprehensive overview of Van de Velde’s practice in the US to date. Across his oeuvre, Van de Velde explores the porous boundaries between reality and imagination, viewing them not as opposing forces but rather as intimately connected. A self-proclaimed “armchair voyager,” Van de Velde interweaves elements of truth and fantasy to narrate his own fictional autobiography from the comfort of his studio. Featuring a selection of oil pastels in a “salon-style” display, alongside the artist’s charcoal paintings, sculptures, and two films, The Dinner opens a new chapter of the artist’s fictional world. The exhibition centres around an imagined gallery dinner, which brings together an eclectic gathering of a ... More
Edra Soto's 'Screenhouse' finds new permanent home at McNay Art Museum SAN ANTONIO, TX.- McNay Art Museum will introduce a distinct piece of contemporary Puerto Rican design to San Antonio with Edra Soto’s “Screenhouse (2019).” The 10-foot-high modernized gazebo, new to the McNay’s permanent collection, will be installed in late July and is the Museum’s first outdoor sculpture by a Latina artist. Not only will it add a new visual element to the grounds, but it will also serve as a place for visitors to gather. Foliage that is native to San Antonio and mirrors plants found in Puerto Rico will surround “Screenhouse,” which is constructed from approximately 400 charcoal-hued, 12-inch cast concrete blocks. The work is part of Soto’s “GRAFT” series inspired by rejas and quiebrasoles, decorative concrete blocks and iron grills commonly found in residential neighborhoods across the Caribbean and American South. “‘Screenhouse’ will be an extraordinary addition to the McNay’s permanent collection, serving as bot ...

Clervaux - Cité de l'image presents Kay Walkowiak photographic solo exhibition CLERVAUX.- The exhibition All Is But Temporary, conceived for Clervaux – Cité de l’image, brings together a series of photographs by Kay Walkowiak. These works offer a poetic and philosophical meditation on transience, transformation and the human longing for permanence. In various locations – from Japan to India and Europe – Walkowiak explores in his works how culture, form and matter are bound to the irreversibility of time. Each series becomes a fragment of a broader reflection on transience, revealing the beauty and melancholy inherent in the temporal flow of life. In Ephemera (2008), created in Tokyo, Walkowiak takes up the Japanese concept of ‘mono no aware’ – the subtle awareness of the transience of all things. In quiet, poetic arrangements – a bandaged branch, a weighted butterfly, wilted flowers – beauty and loss meet. Like visual haikus, the images invite mindful contemplation and convey a quiet acceptance of passing. In the arcades leading ... More
Aleen Solari examines football fan culture, language, and exclusion at Kunsthalle Osnabrück OSNABRÜCK.- Kunsthalle Osnabrück is presenting Tribute to Bicce, an exhibition by Hamburg-based artist Aleen Solari that looks at the rituals, symbols, and social codes of football fan culture through the lens of painting, installation, and everyday language. On view through October 11, 2026, the exhibition takes as its starting point the subcultural spaces surrounding sport: fan sections, clubhouses, the edges of playing fields, pubs, and other places where identity and belonging are formed. For Solari, these are spaces of community, but also spaces marked by exclusion, hierarchy, and coded forms of behavior. Solari is known for expanding painting beyond the traditional canvas. In her work, surfaces, objects, and spatial situations become part of a larger pictorial world. She often draws from popular culture and everyday life, including music, fashion, youth slang, and sport, using these materials to explore how groups create shared identities. In Tribute to Bicce, Solari turns particular attenti ... More
Untouched Maya city discovered in Calakmul jungle named Minanbé, "There Is No Road" CAMPECHE.- Hidden for more than a thousand years beneath the dense jungle of the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, an ancient Maya city has been documented by a team of Mexican and Slovenian specialists led by archaeologist Ivan Šprajc. The site has been named Minanbé, a Yucatec Maya expression meaning “there is no road.” The name reflects both the character of the discovery and the difficulty of reaching it. Unlike other archaeological sites in the region, which can sometimes be approached by old dirt roads opened decades ago for logging, Minanbé offered no such access. Archaeologists and workers from the community of Constitución had to cut a five-kilometer path through the forest with machetes, continue by ATV, and then walk another long stretch under the sun. For Šprajc, that difficulty was also a sign of promise. The site was found intact, without the looting trenches that have damaged many other ancient settlements in the Maya region. “It was a discovery, a great surprise ... More
Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst transform K21 gallery into an interactive AI training ground DUSSELDORF.- Holly Herndon (b. 1980, USA) and Mat Dryhurst (b. 1984, UK) are internationally recognized for their work at the intersection of art, music, machine learning, and experimental organization. Their wide-ranging practice addresses the unequal distribution of power through the use of AI technologies and virtual ecosystems. They create protocols as a medium of possibility, using them to rehearse new arrangements between humans and artificial intelligence. With Starmirror, Herndon and Dryhurst transform the exhibition spaces of K21 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen into a training ground for collaborative art and music production between humans and AI. In collaboration with the design and architecture studio sub, they have created an immersive sound installation that functions simultaneously as a recording studio and listening environment, as well as a living archive where the connections between collective singing and the collective nature of AI are made tangible. On several Sundays during ... More
National Portrait Gallery explores America's early patent history in new exhibition WASHINGTON, DC.- The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery is presenting “The Spirit of Invention: Patent Office and Patentees,” on view from June 26 through June 6, 2027. The exhibition highlights the historic Patent Office Building, which served as the epicenter of American innovation and is now the Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture. “The Spirit of Invention” is curated by Senior Curator of Photographs Ann Shumard. On July 4, 1836, President Andrew Jackson signed legislation to overhaul the nation’s patent system and fund the construction of a purpose-built Patent Office in Washington, D.C. Completed in 1867, the Patent Office Building employed hundreds of staff and exhibited thousands of scale models of patented inventions. It later became the home of the National Portrait Gallery, which opened in 1968, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, which moved into the building that same year. The exhibition traces the early history of the Patent O ... More
Royal Scottish Academy presents major contemporary printmaking survey exhibition EDINBURGH.- This summer the Royal Scottish Academy presents Chaos and Control, a timely survey exhibition exploring the enduring significance of printmaking within Scotland's contemporary art landscape, bringing together works by 47 established, emerging and internationally recognised artists working across the medium today. Co-curated by acclaimed printmaker Ade Adesina RSA and Head of Programme Flora La Thangue, Chaos and Control examines how printmaking continues to evolve.

Whilst other visual arts organisations have struggled to secure funding and support in Scotland ... More

The de Young opens Nigerian artist Nengi Omuku's first US solo museum exhibition SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Nigerian artist Nengi Omuku’s first solo US exhibition, Nengi Omuku: The Gathering, opened at the de Young museum on June 27, 2026. The Gathering brings together paintings that imagine new worlds shaped by beauty, community, and resilience amid social challenges. Omuku’s paintings unfold in lush, otherworldly landscapes—celestial skies, flowering fields, and botanical bounty. This botanical sensibility is deeply personal, shaped by her mother’s horticultural work and her own experience as a florist, and it animates the imaginative worlds she creates. Omuku’s figures gather in fields, beneath trees, and along the water’s edge—places where nature becomes a witness to human experience. Drawing on the language of botanical illustration, she treats nature as a gathering place for healing, kinship, and renewal. Working on handwoven sanyan cloth, a historic Yoruba textile once made of silk and cotton, Omuku revives a material tradition tied to memory, ceremo ... More
Buffalo AKG Art Museum opens major Ali Banisadr exhibition 'Temple of the Mind' BUFFALO, NY.- The Buffalo AKG Art Museum opened the exhibition, Ali Banisadr: Temple of the Mind. The show takes place in the museum’s Hemicycle Gallery, as well as throughout the Wilmers Galleries—the first time an artist has been invited to host interventions in the AKG’s permanent collection galleries—and will be on view from Friday, June 26, to Sunday, November 8, 2026. Ali Banisadr (American, born Iran, 1976) merges the compositional elements of landscape painting with abstract mark-making to create an altogether new form of figuration. The resulting compositions are a carefully composed bedlam of forms that suggest but ultimately deny any specific narrative. Variously reminiscent of gardens of Eden, the seasonal genre pictures of Flemish Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder, and Boschian depictions of Hell, Banisadr’s contemporary abstractions call upon the history of painting. The title of the exhibition, borrowed from Albert Pinkham Ryder’s enigmatic pai ... More

On a day like today, Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens was born
June 28, 1577. Sir Peter Paul Rubens (28 June 1577 - 30 May 1640) was a Flemish artist and diplomat. He is considered the most influential artist of the Flemish Baroque tradition. Rubens's highly charged compositions reference erudite aspects of classical and Christian history. His unique and immensely popular Baroque style emphasised movement, colour, and sensuality, which followed the immediate, dramatic artistic style promoted in the Counter-Reformation. In this image: Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577 - 1640), The Calydonian Boar Hunt, about 1611-1612, Oil on panel, 23 5/16 × 35 5/16 in., 2006.4, The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.
