NEW YORK, NY.- By early 1963 the foundations of the Marvel Universe had been laid. Following the introduction of the Fantastic Four in 1961 came the amazing (Spider-Man), the astonishing (Ant-Man), the strange (Doctor, that is), the incredible (Hulk), the invincible (Iron Man) and the mighty (Thor). Still, Marvel editor in chief Stan Lee realized something was missing. “I was writing these characters and I thought it would fun to put them together in a team,” he recalled. So Lee and artist Jack Kirby assembled Iron Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Thor, and the Hulk to create the Avengers. Right away it was clear this team was different. If the Fantastic Four were family, then the Avengers were the co-workers you didn’t choose. Not everyone got along—the Hulk fought with everyone—but working together they could defeat the baddest of Marvel’s bad guys, like Loki, Kang the Conqueror, the Masters of Evil, and Immortus. The lineup was ever changing: The Hulk departed, Captain Amer ... More
Willem de Kooning, Woman, 1983.
AMSTERDAM.- One hundred years after Willem de Kooning left Rotterdam for a new life in New York, Rijksmuseum brings de Kooning back to the Netherlands with the major exhibition Willem de Kooning at Work. De Kooning became one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Featuring more than 120 works, Rijksmuseum’s landmark exhibition is a comprehensive overview of his drawn works, complemented by a selection of de Kooning’s most celebrated paintings and sculptures. The drawings trace the development of a modern master who changed art forever, offering unprecedented insight into the practice of an artist in constant search of renewal. Alongside the exhibition, two of de Kooning’s most iconic paintings – Woman I and Woman and Bicycle – will be displayed concurrently in the Rijksmuseum’s Gallery of Honour, placing de Kooning among the great masters of Dutch painting. Willem de Kooning at work will be on view from 9 October 2026 through 17 January 2027 and is deve ... More
Claire Tabouret, Les Créatures (jaune), 2026. Acrylic and ink on paper, 35.5 x 50 cm. 14 x 19 1/2 in. Oil on linen, 150 x 100 cm. 59 x 39 1/2 in.
GSTAAD.-Almine Rech Gstaad is presenting ‘Les Créatures,’ Claire Tabouret’s fifth solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from July 10 to September 3, 2026. The inspiration for this new body of work was a 1947 ink on paper work by Pablo Picasso. The artist spoke with Louisa Mahoney about the legacy of Picasso, her enduring passion for monoprinting, and the generative power of myths. Louisa Mahoney: I thought a good place to start would be the Picasso work included in the show. When did you first come across this particular work, and why did you choose it? Claire Tabouret: The idea was to work on the printing process: repetition producing a unique aspect. That's what monoprint is: you're printing and you're making a unique work. And Picasso, he played a lot with this kind of reproduction that makes unique works. [Centaure et Bacchante] is an ink on paper work with watercolor added to it, which gives it a unique aspect. We ... More
LIVERPOOL.- Walker Art Gallery has reopened its contemporary galleries, bringing a group of recent acquisitions into public view for the first time. At the centre of the rehang is Michael Landy’s kinetic sculpture Multi-Saint (2013), made after the artist’s residency at the National Gallery in London and inspired by the Italian Renaissance painter Carlo Crivelli. Drawing on Christian iconography, it brings together five martyred saints, Catherine, Lucy, Peter Martyr, Lawrence and Michael, tying the new display back to the Walker’s collection of religious art from the 15th century onwards. Around it hang other works, all new to the Walker’s collection and on display here for the first time. Shaqúelle Whyte’s In an embroiled fashion (2025) shows two men wrestling while a third looks on, painted with energetic brushwork and a dark, rich palette. Eva Helene Pade’s I mørket (In the dark) (2025) sets a figure in a dark, ambiguous light, drawing on the Northern European expr ... More
Installation view «Vilhelm Hammershøi. The Eye That Listens», Kunsthaus Zürich, 2026. Photo: Franca Candrian, Kunsthaus Zürich.
ZURICH.- ‘Vilhelm Hammershøi. The Eye That Listens’ at the Kunsthaus Zürich from 3 July to 25 October 2026 is the first comprehensive museum exhibition in Switzerland devoted to the Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864–1916). It explores the remarkable oeuvre of a painter who employs infinitely subtle nuances of colour, and whose sparse interiors and silent cityscapes are among the most striking imagery of European modernism. Vilhelm Hammershøi, dubbed the ‘Vermeer of the North’, is one of the most important Danish artists of his time and a national icon in his home country. His paintings mostly depict empty rooms, deserted squares or interiors suffused with muted light. For all their apparent simplicity, they are filled with a peculiarly dense atmosphere: rooms seem at once familiar and alien, objects assert their silent presence, while figures – often the artist’s wife Ida – are frequently shown only from the rear. Narrative is superseded by a concent ... More
ARLES.- In the Veins is a significant new film by Camille Henrot, one of the leading artists of her generation. The film deals with raising children in a time of climate crisis and mass extinction. At its center lies ecological grief: the intimate, daily experience of living with irreversible loss. Rather than addressing this condition as an abstract planetary issue, Henrot brings it into the realm of ordinary life, where care, fear, love, and responsibility are most acutely felt. The work begins with a simple but troubling contradiction. Animals are everywhere in childhood. They populate books, toys, songs, and the earliest lessons through which children learn to name the world. Yet many of these same animals are endangered, displaced, or disappearing. To read a child an alphabet book and arrive at “J for jaguar” or “P for polar bear” is to confront a profound gap between representation and reality. The film lingers over this dissonance, asking what it means to inherit a s ... More
Hugo Toro has a multidisciplinary background, with an internationally recognized career as an architect and interior designer.
NEW YORK, NY.- Perrotin New York is presenting Ojo de Agua, the gallery’s first exhibition with Franco-Mexican artist Hugo Toro and the artist’s first presentation in the United States. Toro navigates the space between reality and imagination, painting landscapes that reveal stories that have shaped his identity, whether from his own life or his ancestral lineage. Across this new body of work, water appears as the main source of inspiration, painted in melancholic shades that reflect the element itself and its ability to reflect light, memory, and emotion. The following essay was written by Guillaume Kientz, Director of the Hispanic Society Museum & Library in New York. Born in Eastern France to a Mexican mother and a French father, Hugo Toro carries within him the duality of his identity like an intimate enigma that he seeks ... More

ISTANBUL.- SANATORIUM presents Sergen Şehitoğlu’s solo exhibition “Forking Paths” from June 4 to July 18, 2026. Taking its title from Jorge Luis Borges’s short story “The Garden of Forking Paths,” the exhibition focuses on the structural dynamics of the world we inhabit through a labyrinth model constructed around constant choices, dead ends, and infinite repetitions. At the center of the exhibition, the labyrinth offers an allegory of contemporary conditions of existence such as surveillance, guided choices, and inescapability, inviting viewers to confront the workings of this system directly. The spatial layout is shaped by an underlying algorithmic necessity, articulated through exit points, dead ends, and endless loops, so that each path emerges as the outcome of predefined variables. Drawing inspiration from René Descartes’s take on analytic geometry, this structure treats mathematics as a system and ... More

SEOUL.- The paradox intertwined with the Theseus’ Ship[1] in Greek mythology is generally read as a thought experiment around the issue of sameness: which ship is the ‘original’. Here, ripping off old planks and layering strong new wood to fix the ship is for elongating the original function of the ship, that is the prospect of sailing. Sailing has long been the metaphor to contemplate the subject of modernity, and the passion for transgression to willingly reach your hands into the rough waves was always followed by empirical power and desire. And in today’s capitalist society, whether they’re humans or objects, replacing the old into the strong and new is omnipresent. Let’s put aside the discussion about ‘which one is the original’, and focus on the act of the person who repairs the ship, for example, a carpenter. After a long sailing journey, when it comes to the point for the surfaces of the ship being so damaged and weary that it needs ... More
ST. MORITZ.- This summer in St. Moritz, ‘Intimate Anatomies’ brings together the work of Cathy Josefowitz, Maria Lassnig and Carol Rama, three 20th-century, trailblazing women artists whose practices undermined traditional notions of portraiture by depicting the female body as an individual and lived experience. ‘Intimate Anatomies’ for the first time unites paintings and works on paper by Lassnig and Josefowitz with works by Rama, who incorporated everyday materials such as spray paint and glue into her work. Within each of their highly unique iterations of the body, they are united by a rebellion against convention through movement, amorphousness, explorations of sexuality and their use of colour. Through their boundary-pushing depictions of the human form and psyche, the exhibition not only highlights the artists’ distinct relationship ... More
1967, 'Premio Marzotto'.
AMSTERDAM.- To pay tribute to Wim T. Schippers – artist, programme maker, actor and sublime disrupter – who passed away recently, the Stedelijk is presenting his final artwork: Wim is gone 1942-2026 (unfinished) (translation: Wim is Weg 1942-2026 (onvoltooid)) from July 2 until July 19.

On the first floor, the permanent collection includes another gallery dedicated to Wim T. Schippers, showcasing four of his works. The title Wim is Gone (Wim is weg) refers to the children’s book of the same name, part of the Gouden Boekje series. It tells the story of a little boy who sets off on his tricycle ... More
Toru Ishii. People Shopping. 2022. Yuzen textile on wooden panel.
NEW YORK, NY.- Ronin Gallery and Globus Washitsu announced contemporary Japanese textile artist Toru Ishii as the 2026 Ronin | Globus Artist-in-Residence. Presented as part of the Ronin | Globus Artist-in-Residence Program, Ishii’s solo exhibition, Tokyo Landscape, will be on view at Ronin Gallery from July 8 through August 6, 2026. Born in Shizuoka in 1981 and based in Tokyo, Ishii is a contemporary textile artist working in yuzen, a traditional Japanese resist-dyeing technique. His practice focuses especially on itome yuzen, or “line yuzen,” in which rice-paste resist is used to define the composition and preserve fine white contours between areas of saturated color. Ishii brings this traditional textile language into the contemporary city, using its precision, color, and labor-intensive process to depict Tokyo’s streets and electric atmosphere. Historically associated with kimono and obi, Yuzen developed during the ... More

Lee Bae brings charcoal, gesture and contemplation to a medieval French abbey GINALS.- South Korean artist Lee Bae has transformed the Abbey of Beaulieu-en-Rouergue into a setting for quiet reflection with En attendant, an exhibition bringing 23 works into dialogue with the monument’s austere Cistercian architecture.

Its restrained stone interiors, limited ornamentation and shifting natural light amplify the contrasts ... More

Taka Ishii Gallery launches Tomoo Gokita's dual-venue exhibition 'Lush Life' TOKYO.- Taka Ishii Gallery is presenting “Lush Life,” a solo exhibition of the work of Tomoo Gokita, on view from Saturday, June 27 to Saturday, July 25 at the gallery’s Roppongi and Kyobashi venues. Gokita’s first solo show with Taka Ishii Gallery in four years and his seventh with the gallery, the exhibition features his latest paintings. The exhibition title, “Lush Life,” is also the name of a song composed by Billy Strayhorn in 1961. That same year, John Coltrane released an album of the same name, and “Lush Life” has long been performed by musicians as a jazz standard. In jazz slang, the phrase is used not in the sense of a life of abundance, but to mean “a drunkard’s life” or “days steeped in drink.” A lyrical jazz ballad performed over the decades, “Lush Life” is also a poetic expression with the power to evoke various memories, scenes, and emotional states.

On a day like today, Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani was born
July 12, 1884. Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (12 July 1884 - 24 January 1920) was an Italian painter and sculptor of the École de Paris who worked mainly in France. He is known for portraits and nudes in a modern style characterised by a surreal elongation of faces, necks, and figures — works that were not received well during his lifetime, but later became much sought after. Modigliani was born and spent his youth in Italy, where he studied the art of antiquity and the Renaissance. In this image: A visitor walks past a painting of Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani as he visits the Modigliani exhibition in Prague, Czech Republic, 09 December 2010. Unique exhibition of the works of the world-renowned early 20th-century Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani is open from 09 December 2010 to 28 February 2011 at the elegant venue of the Municipal House in Prague.
