Vincent van Gogh, The Yellow House (The Street), 1888, oil on canvas, 72 cm x 91.5 cm, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation)
AMSTERDAM.- When Van Gogh arrived in Arles in 1888, he struggled to connect with the local community. He did find a true kindred spirit in Joseph Roulin. The postman, with his striking beard and blue uniform, became a favoured model and Van Gogh’s closest friend in the southern French town. Not only did Van Gogh paint Joseph, but also his wife Augustine and their three children: the seventeen-year-old Armand, the eleven-year-old Camille, and baby Marcelle. Fourteen of these unique portraits – normally dispersed among various museums and private collections around the world – are being brought together for the very first time. The portraits reflect Van Gogh’s deep bond with his friend, and reveal his ambition not only to capture a likeness, but above all to convey the soul of his subjects on canvas. In this respect, he took inspiration from predecessors such as Rembrandt and Frans Hals. The exhibition features work by these seventeenth-century masters, as well as portraits ... More

Edvard Munch. The Scream, 1895. Clarence Buckingham Collection.
CHICAGO, IL.- The Art Institute of Chicago announces Strange Realities: The Symbolist Imagination on view October 4, 2025 through January 5, 2026. The exhibition is drawn from the Art Institute of Chicago’s rich and historic collection of drawings and prints, including the largest collection in America of the French artists Odilon Redon and Paul Gauguin. The exhibition features more than 85 works that capture the beauty and strangeness of a mysterious generation of artists. Symbolism began as a literary movement in France in the 1880s and later expanded to visual art in Belgium, Germany, Norway, and elsewhere. The movement was a reaction against rationalism, materialism, and Impressionism’s focus on the external world. The exhibition showcases how Symbolist artists sought instead to represent the unseeable—ideas and emotions. These artists shared a general cynicism about the late 19th-century’s moral decline, technological advancements brought about by rapid industrialization, ... More

COLOGNE.- Every two to three years, an artist is invited to create a new work for the Museum Ludwig’s largest wall, located in front of the main staircase. Schultze Projects pays homage to artist couple Bernard Schultze and Ursula (Schultze-Bluhm), whose artistic estates are managed by the Museum Ludwig and commemorated with this series, which was initiated in 2017. For the fourth edition of Schultze Projects, artist Kresiah Mukwazhi (b. 1992 in Harare, Zimbabwe) has created a new mural.

She views art as a form of protest and self-empowerment, as well as a starting point for encouraging and supporting women. Mukwazhi understands her artistic practice as visual activism. Her installations, videos, performances, sculptures, and ... More

Douriean Fletcher, Messenger Collection, gold and semi-precious stones, c. 2021. Photo: Brittany Johnson.
NEW YORK, NY.- This fall, the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) presents the first major museum exhibition dedicated to jewelry artist Douriean Fletcher, whose work spans independent design, costume, and film. On view from October 4, 2025, to March 15, 2026, Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture centers Fletcher’s jewelry as a powerful narrative tool in art, identity, and visual storytelling. Fletcher’s jewelry articulates Black identity, embodies spiritual meaning, and has helped define cinematic characters and imagined worlds. With over 150 works on view, the exhibition explores Fletcher’s evolution from self-taught metalsmith to a designer whose handmade adornments have shaped memorable aesthetics in contemporary cinema, most notably Marvel Studios’ Black Panther film franchise. The artist’s practice exemplifies the ethos of Afrofuturism, a cultural movement that reclaims Black identity and history while envisioning egalitarian futures. Inspired by the storytelling tr ...

PARIS.- Lee Ufan has been following his own path for more than six decades, uninterested by the successive obsessions of his fellow contemporary artists. From his very first works, a few foundational principles were established and have remained unchanged since. In sculpture: the simplicity of the volumes and the use of few materials, natural or human, such as eroded rocks, metal plates, or glass. In painting: the simplicity of the shapes, laid down and repeated on the canvas, of which, for a long time, the artist used only a narrow selection of colours. In a world saturated with images of all origins that inspire mistrust, this restriction of means is to visual arts what a retreat was in the past to ordinary life: a deliberate break and the creation of a place for reflection, silence and contemplation. In him, there is something of the hermit and the poet. In his writings, this inner necessity is immediately perceptible, as much as the range of his philosophical references. Those lines could ...

Lentos Kunstmuseum presents Georg Pinteritsch's first solo exhibition on heritage and identity LINZ.- With his first solo museum exhibition at Lentos, Austrian artist Georg Pinteritsch (*1986) delves into the layers of cultural heritage, collective identity, and the structures that shape society. At the heart of the show is the question of how history is told—and how deeply our understanding of past civilizations is filtered through contemporary perspectives. From there, Pinteritsch shifts the focus forward: what traces of our own society will endure—materially, symbolically, and in the stories still legible tomorrow? The artist, who lives in Vienna and Linz, studied graphic design and painting at the University of Art and Design Linz. For his exhibition at the Lentos Kunstmuseum, Georg Pinteritsch — whose practice moves between drawing, installation, and object — created a spatial installation that brings together art- and architectural-historical references with traces of everyday ...
