The 19th century work ‘Rome, from Mount Aventine’, which holds the British painter's auction record from 2014, is on display at the Palazzo Rondinini before going under the hammer at Sotheby's London in December

bureau betak brings nature into dior’s summer 2027 show
 
For Dior’s Summer 2027 women’s show, Bureau Betak transforms Le Bassin Octogonal in the Jardin des Tuileries into a temporary landscape of water, mist and trees. A long white runway cuts across the octagonal basin, surrounded by water and enveloped in drifting clouds of mist. Camphor trees rise from the water around the catwalk, bringing an irregular, living presence to an otherwise highly controlled composition. The solid white runway meets the shifting surface of water, while mist repeatedly obscures and reveals the landscape around it. Bureau Betak places nature directly inside the architecture of the show. The runway behaves almost like a...

Pace Gallery is seeking a tenant with which to share its New York City headquarters, located at 540 West Twenty-Fifth Street in Chelsea.

Niklas Roy is fascinated by the convergence of art and technology. From robotics to gaming systems, the Berlin-based artist and inventor creates quirky yet thought-provoking sculptures and installations that investigate relationships between creativity, science, and tech. His mechanical contraptions are often infused with a lighthearted twist that prompts viewers to think critically and get involved. And his most recent project draws on one of the most fundamental types of technology humans have ever developed: telling time. “Glashütte Trash Clock” is named for the town in Saxony, Germany, where the artist participated in a residency this year. It’s also the birthplace of the nation’s renowned...

The late German-American artist Eva Hesse, best-known for her works that challenged the conventions of Minimalism, will have a career-spanning exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York next year that foregrounds her drawing practice and how it informed her canonical sculptures and paintings. The show “Eva Hesse: Wild Space, 1957-1970,” on view from May 30–September 25, 2027, will bring together more than 150 works that reframe Hesse’s experimental practice. The exhibition is organized by Lanka Tattersall, a curator in MoMA’s prints and drawings department, and marks the biggest museum presentation in the US dedicated to the artist since 2002, when the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art held...

Studio Téré gives a 1960s railway signal box a new public role
 
L’Aiguilleuse is a project by Studio Téré that transforms a former 1960s railway signal box into a small kiosk-bar located at the heart of the Jardins de l’Estuaire, a new public park on the Île de Nantes, France. Originally part of the Nantes-État railway infrastructure, the building once controlled train movements entering the station. As the surrounding railway landscape gradually disappeared, the signal box remained as a small but distinctive fragment of the site’s industrial history.
 
Rather than replacing it, the project gives this existing building a new public use. The former technical building becomes a place for meeting,...

Military camouflage betrays its purpose in the latest installation at the Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT) in Sunset Park. In Jean Shin’s Tidal Crossing, the artist presents three sets of military-style nets inside the arches of one of the terminal’s skybridges. Between each net, the artist has added camo banners overlaid with images of flora from the many places where the United States has waged wars. Shin’s installation, which opened to the public on September 19, is the final addition to In Plain Sight, a yearlong public exhibition featuring the works of 12 Brooklyn-based artists at BAT and the nearby Brooklyn Wholesale Meat Market. It's a fitting addition to the complex, which once served as the...

To mark the 100th anniversary of Claude Monet’s death in 1926, the Musée de l’Orangerie and the Musée d’Orsay are celebrating his work with an exhibition apiece, “Claude Monet, Painting Time” and “I Spend My Life Painting,” respectively. The Orsay’s display includes five works that have recently undergone technical examination with several new revelations about the father of Impressionism’s practice. The most important of these new insights is with Monet’s The Luncheon (1873). Ahead of its current presentation at the Orsay and planned restoration next year, a team of conservation scientists at the Center for Research and Restoration of the Museums of France (C2RMF) conducted technical...

Artist Kehinde Wiley is asking to purchase his painting Young Artists After Siamesas 1960 (2013) back from the US State Department, after it was removed from the US Embassy in the Dominican Republic in August. On Monday, the artist’s gallery Sean Kelly Gallery shared a letter that Wiley had sent to President Donald Trump on September 24. “I am writing regarding Young Artists After Siamesas 1960, the painting I created for the United States Embassy in Santo Domingo through the State Department’s Art in Embassies program. I understand that the painting has been removed from the embassy and that the State Department is now considering whether it can be sold,” he writes in the letter. “If your...

When the Dance Floor Became the Stage
  Looking back at Vitra Design Museum’s 2018 exhibition Night Fever, the history of club culture reveals a recurring architectural experiment: what happens when the audience is no longer separate from the spectacle? A nightclub does not have a conventional audience. There is no fixed row of seats, no clear division between stage and auditorium, and no guarantee that the person who enters will remain a spectator. Once inside, bodies, sound, light, fashion and architecture begin to become one. The room changes as people move, and the people inside are part of what everyone else is experiencing.
 
This is one of the ideas that emerges from Night Fever: Designing Club...

Next up in the art world juggernaut that is September: Teresa Margolles’s solo exhibition at MoMA PS1, where she co-opts the language of minimalism to honor the lives disrupted or destroyed by borders, capitalism, and state brutality. Reviewer Alex Santana was struck in particular by an installation consisting of water collected from sites of violence around New York vented out of humidifiers. “This is a room anyone could walk into and walk right out of, perhaps mistakenly thinking it is an auxiliary maintenance area of the museum,” she notes. It seems like an encapsulation of so much overlooked humanity, dissipating unseen into the ether. Case in point: Unionized workers at the Whitney Museum...

Paul Chan turns cultural memory into a retail interior
 
Studio Paul Chan completes LANG’s 110-square-meter flagship at ROW DTLA in Los Angeles, transforming a former industrial warehouse into a fashion store and cultural venue shaped by the experience of living between cultures. Founded by Hong Kong-born Kayla Wong, LANG focuses on Asian-founded fashion brands while hosting exhibitions, artist talks, performances, and community gatherings. The interior uses material, craft, and everyday rituals to consider how cultural identity can be rebuilt through migration and adaptation.
 
For architect Paul Chan, who was also born in Hong Kong, the project begins with memory but does not end in nostalgia. ‘Much of...

Su una parete larga sedici metri, tre grandi opere fotografiche entrano in dialogo: PlantAge I, V e XII. In questi lavori, presentati a NordArt a Büdelsdorf in Germania, l’artista e filmmaker berlinese Christian A. Lang condensa sette anni di osservazione di una serra abbandonata in un’esplorazione multistratificata del tempo, della trasformazione, della memoria e della percezione. Tra il 2018 e il 2025, Lang è tornato ripetutamente in un luogo in origine concepito per il massimo controllo: luce, temperatura, umidità e crescita erano regolate e sottoposte a un ordine definito con rigore. Ma, dopo che la serra è stata abbandonata, questo equilibrio artificiale ha iniziato gradualmente a dissolversi....

Minimalism’s potential lies in compressing a complex idea or feeling into a visually “simple” gesture — distilling its essence into an experience that cuts away the excess. In Teresa Margolles’s work, this unsparing trim attempts to show us something about ourselves: a system of violence so destructive that it reinforces and codifies notions of “us” and “them” across artificial borders, all in the name of capital. Margolles’s first large-scale museum exhibition in the United States, En el lugar de los hechos (At the Scene), hosted by both MoMA PS1 and the Museum of Modern Art, showcases over 30 years of work by the artist. Born in Culiacán and based in Mexico City, Margolles addresses the...

Earlier this month, a monumental, metallic spiral appeared on the High Line to coincide with New York Fashion Week. The elevated, art-filled public park on the West Side of Manhattan runs from Gansevoort Street near the Whitney Museum of American Art to 34th Street near Hudson Yards.

In the Buddhist tradition, mandalas are devotional images that represent the universe, their precise geometry and motifs depicting holy realms and a sense of order through symbolic references to the elements and astrology. Tibetan Buddhist monks painstakingly create colorful sand renditions as part of their mindfulness practice. Once complete, the pieces are ritualistically destroyed—the sand is customarily returned to moving water—to illustrate the impermanence and transience of life and the cosmos. For artist Mu Pan, the mandala inspires the foundation of a series of vivid works on paper. In his current solo exhibition, Micro MUniverse at Hashimoto Contemporary, the Brooklyn-based artist composes...

The Metropolitan Opera gets its freak on — or about as close as it can —  in a revival of its Coney Island-set production of Così fan tutte. 

Yannick Nézet-Séguin opens Philadelphia's symphonic season in typically sunny style with programs feautring Beethoven, Brahms, and Bernstein.

Last September I was most excited by Handel oratorios being performed during the 2025-26 season. This time I’m really looking forward to three of the composer’s operas arriving within a few weeks of each other in Spring 2027.

La mostra Corpus serialis di Nicolás Lamas riunisce sculture e immagini composte da elementi organici, riferimenti al corpo, oggetti tecnologici e materiali modellati dall’uso umano. Le sue opere creano costellazioni ibride in cui si incontrano temporalità, sistemi di conoscenza e forme di materia diverse. Resti archeologici coesistono con tecnologie contemporanee, mentre oggetti legati alla scienza, alla cultura quotidiana e all’arte perdono le loro funzioni consolidate ed entrano in nuove relazioni. Materiali che inizialmente sembrano opposti rivelano spesso somiglianze formali o concettuali, mettendo in discussione le distinzioni tra organico e industriale, natura e cultura, corpo e macchina.

Che cosa succede quando un’immagine smette di essere soltanto qualcosa da guardare e diventa invece uno spazio in cui memoria, identità e percezione continuano a trasformarsi?

Nel 1938 un piccolo gruppo di pittori raccolti in New Mexico attorno a Raymond Jonson (1891, Chariton, Iowa, U.S. – 1982, Albuquerque, New Mexico) ed Emil Bisttram (1895, Nagylak, Ungheria – 1976, Taos, New Mexico) fondava il Transcendental Painting Group. L’ingresso degli Stati Uniti nella Seconda guerra mondiale avrebbe dissolto il sodalizio nel giro di pochi anni, consegnandolo a un lungo silenzio interrotto soltanto dalla febbre di riscoperta innescata nel 2018 dalla retrospettiva di Hilma af Klint (1862, Solna – 1944, Danderyd) al Guggenheim, a cui hanno fatto seguito le mostre dedicate ad Agnes Pelton (1881, Stuttgart, German Empire – 1961, Cathedral City, California, U.S.) e al gruppo stesso...

Built throughout the 1960s and ’70s, the Aylesbury Estate is an enormous public housing complex in South East London that at its peak, boasted 11,000 residents. Like other social projects of this kind, Aylesbury has struggled with violence and vandalism throughout its run, and in 2005, local officials decided to demolish the estate and rebuild in phases rather than rehabilitate the existing structures. Living and working in South East London for nearly four decades, Harriet Mena Hill was familiar with the area, but it wasn’t until 2018 when she was commissioned to teach a summer program for young residents that she really engaged with the project. She made large portraits from wool, blending dyed roving to...

Negli spazi monumentali e nei giardini storici dell’Orto Botanico di Palermo, un raffinato progetto d’arte contemporanea attraversa i confini della botanica e del paesaggio, indagando la memoria della terra, la scultura all’aperto e il dialogo con il vivente attraverso lo sguardo poetico dell’artista. L’orizzonte del paesaggio botanico e storico siciliano, spesso racchiuso nella dimensione della contemplazione scientifica o del giardino d’apparato, trova nell’arte contemporanea uno spazio di indagine radicale, capace di svelarne le segrete corrispondenze, le geografie nascoste e le profonde stratificazioni di senso. È questa la direzione intrapresa da Celibi. Storia di una migrazione botanica,...
