WATER MILL, NY.- Long Island’s East End has long been a vital fishing and agricultural region, where communities have relied on the land and water for generations. Today, environmental shifts and pressures increasingly threaten these traditions. Regeneration: Long Island’s History of Ecological Art and Care responds to this urgency by showcasing works that emerge from the intersection of ecological art, environmental action, and community collaboration. The exhibition brings together eleven intergenerational artists with strong ties to Long Island and New York whose works stem from an active engagement with the environmental challenges that impact the East End and the world today. Regeneration is the first exhibition in PARRISH USA250: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, a year-long program marking the United States’ semiquincentennial in 2026. Responding to the Declaration of Independence’s assertion of “life” as an inalienable right, Regeneration explores o ... More
ROME.- Gagosian announces Mirrored Fiction, an exhibition of sculptures by Duane Hanson, presented in dialogue with work in a variety of mediums by other artists including Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Andreas Gursky, Jeff Koons, Adam McEwen, and Bruce Nauman. Mirrored Fiction invites a dialogue around realism and its contemporary afterlives—how the “real” is staged, witnessed, consumed, and distributed across bodies, images, and social spaces. While each artist approaches this subject from a distinct position, all of them are invested in the forms, representations, and materials of the everyday. The exhibition is anchored by Duane Hanson’s hyperrealistic painted bronze sculptures of ordinary Americans. First produced in the context of a renewed interest in figuration sparked by the emergence of Pop art, these monuments to the prosaic test the boundary between reality and ... More

CHICAGO, IL.- The Art Institute of Chicago today announced the acquisition of The Dugout by Norman Rockwell, the first work by the artist to enter the museum’s collection. Rockwell was known for his accessible and realistic style and this iconic painting of the beloved Chicago Cubs, a generous gift from former governor Bruce Rauner and Diana Rauner, will now be on view for all Chicagoans to experience. Rockwell was one of the most famed artists working in the United States in the twentieth century and reached a wide audience through his engaging magazine covers for the Saturday Evening Post. It was this magazine that first published a reproduction of the oil painting, The Dugout, which features the 1948 Chicago Cubs. The piece portrays the contrast between the dejected Chicago Cubs players and the elated Boston Braves fans following a double header in Boston. Using photographs of the ... More
BERLIN.- C/O Berlin presents the first major retrospective of Graciela Iturbide (b. 1942, Mexico) in Berlin, taking an in-depth look at the oeuvre of one of the leading voices in contemporary photography. Developed in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition includes iconic series along with pictures that have rarely if ever been presented, tracing the development of the artist’s photographic practice that has helped to shape the image of Mexico and its people for over five decades. Iturbide’s work explores the often intimate relationships between identity, ritual, and society. Her sensitive manner of approaching the people and communities that are the subjects of her images results in the poetic quality of her documentation. The exhibition’s title Eyes to Fly With finds inspiration in the title of one of her self- portraits and refers, on a metaphorical level, to Iturbide’s understanding of photo- graphy as a means of exploring both herself and the world, one t ...

FRANKFURT.- Thomas Bayrle (*1937) is a legend. From February 12 to May 10, 2026, the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt is presenting a major solo show of the Frankfurt-based artist featuring over fifty works from the last twenty years. Bayrle examines fundamental aspects of modern society in his work. How are religion and society, the individual and the mass, industrially manufactured products and the technical apparatuses of their production connected? Alongside the structures of consumption, work, urbanity, and technology, themes such as mobility, pop and mass culture as well as (substitute) religion all play key roles. The artist explores iconic representations as well as popular works of art history from Michelangelo to Caravaggio, Masaccio, and Claude Monet. On view in this exhibition are paintings and graphic works, sculpture and object art, sound installations and ... More
Peter Shear, Slipway, 2025, oil on canvas over panel, 28 x 35.5 cm.
BRUSSELS.- Mendes Wood DM announces Slipway, Indiana-based painter Peter Shear’s first European solo exhibition. Shear is best known for small-format canvases that resist classification, fixed formulae, or repetition. As a painter, he has staked out a position that uncouples abstract painting from the inheritance of established idioms, offering an exploratory approach and an alternative to dogma and orthodoxy. Working with essentials – planes of color, schematic marks, loosely defined shapes, provisional geometries – his paintings inhabit the space between abstraction and legibility, suspending recognition without resolving it. His brushwork shifts from thick to feathery to dry, while grounds may be flat, stained, built up in layers, or left exposed. “Drawing in paint” is central to the practice – as is observing works from a distance, returning over time to work through compositional tensions. Without yielding to overt “pattern seeking” or insistent “ ... More
NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ.- Andy Warhol: On Repeat, on view at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers from February 11 to July 31, 2026, brings together the artist’s early durational films and later serial photographs to examine repetition and duration as central forces in his art. Presenting nearly 70 photographs from the Zimmerli’s collection, many on view for the first time, and a suite of films on loan from the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, On Repeat offers a rare look at how Warhol used time, stillness and seriality to chart the shifting terrain of identity. While Warhol’s pop imagery is widely known, On Repeat reveals a deeper, more searching artist at work. The exhibition presents iconic films of well-known Warhol “Superstars,” including Edie Sedgwick, alongside lesser-exhibited examples from his Screen ... More

FLUSHING, NY.- The Godwin-Ternbach Museum at Queens College (CUNY), is presenting Legends: Athleticism in Asian/American Art, which opened on February 10, 2026. This exhibition explores the intersection of art and sport through the work of contemporary Asian and Asian American artists. While often considered distinct fields, this exhibition highlights how sport and artistic expression serve as interconnected arenas. Legends examines how artists of Asian descent engage with the shared language of art and sport to reflect identity, nationalism, gender, the body, spectatorship, and performance. This exhibition features artists and collectives across a wide range of artistic media — including painting, installation, fashion, and video — to conceptually illustrate these topics. This exhibition emerges at a moment of growing artistic interest in athletics. However, Legends is the first exhibition to specifically focus on the relationship between art and ... More
LOS ANGELES, CA.- The Hammer Museum announced that Ali Eyal will receive the $100,000 Mohn Award honoring artistic excellence, in conjunction with Made in L.A. 2025.

ATLANTA, GA.- This June, the High Museum of Art will debut “Los Porfiados (The Stubborns),” a group of monumental, interactive sculptures by Chilean creative studio gt2P in its Carroll Slater Sifly Piazza. On view June 5-Nov. 29, this installation will be the 10th in the High’s multiyear series of inclusive and playful projects to activate its outdoor space. Inspired by the classic roly-poly wobbling toy, known in Chile as “mono porfiado,” this installation comprises a landscape of 14 inflatable, limber sculptures, some measuring up to 17 feet tall, and invites visitors to interact with their pliable surfaces. These sculptures will come to life through human interaction and play, transforming the Piazza with collective movement that explores collaboration and the construction of public space. When activated, the sculptures become a living metaphor for resilience, understood not as rigidity but as adaptability: the ... More

Michael Heizer unveils monumental negative sculptures at Gagosian New York NEW YORK, NY.- Gagosian is presenting two new negative sculptures by Michael Heizer, Convoluted Line A and Convoluted Line B (both 2024), at the gallery at 522 West 21st Street, New York. A small selection of related early drawings will also be on view. The sculptures represent the pinnacle of an artistic lineage that reaches back to Heizer’s earliest outdoor sculptures made in the 1960s in the Nevada and California deserts. Among the artist’s most complex negative line sculptures, Convoluted Line A and Convoluted Line B are winding steel earth liners inserted into a raised concrete floor. Curved with the delicacy of a drawn line, they reflect the artist’s interest in precise mark making at monumental scale and the possibilities of line as sculptural form. Conceived with the gallery’s spacious interior in mind and placed in relation to one another, they span 87 1/2 feet in length ... More
Joe Shuster's Action Comics No. 21 cover headlines Heritage's major comics auctions DALLAS, TX.- Heritage Auctions will close out February and head into March with a monumental pair of comics auctions offering rare opportunities to own original art from the most legendary creators in the genre and top-condition key issues — including the three titles at the pinnacle of the collecting hobby. Headlining the Feb. 27–March 1 Comic Art Signature® Auction is the cover of Action Comics No. 21, drawn by Joe Shuster, who co-created the character Superman with Jerry Siegel. “Joe Shuster didn’t actually draw Superman all that long,” Heritage Vice President Aaron White says. “After just a few years, he had various assistants take over a lot of the drawing, so there was never too much original art by him. And then on top of that, a lot of comic art from the old days just got tossed. So to have an original like this, a World War II cover, is crazy. We had no idea this had even ... More
Spain hosts a landmark retrospective of Denise Scott Brown BILBAO.- Denise Scott Brown (Nkana, Zambia, 1931) is one of the most prominent architects from the second half of the twentieth century. A traveller, photographer and activist, after graduating in Johannesburg she furthered her studies in London and Rome. To complete her training, in 1958 she moved to Philadelphia, where she met Robert Venturi (1925–2018), with whom she shared her life and profession. Together they had intense careers in theory, teaching and professional practice that incorporated urban design and popular culture into architectural design. One of her most influential books is Learning from Las Vegas (1972), a revolutionary critical essay she wrote with Venturi and Steven Izenour that brought American pop culture and cars into the fold of architecture. The exhibition will be the first major retrospective held on the architect in Spain and one of the few international ... More
Felix Lenz exposes the hidden politics of images and technology in Soft Image, Brittle Grounds VIENNA.- In the mixed-media installation Soft Image, Brittle Grounds, research-led artist and filmmaker Felix Lenz exposes the material and political implications of technological image- and knowledge production, revealing how the complexity of the world collides with the reductive rationalities of the digital age. At the intersection of art, design, and film, the installation unfolds as a spatial and audiovisual experience, prompting reflection on the layered entanglements of technology, ecology, power, and inequality. The 30-minute essay film Brute Force [Exhibition Cut] (2025) traces the infrastructures and instruments that capture and process images and data— from subatomic particles to planetary-scale imaging—revealing their environmental impact and geological imprints. Filmed across multiple countries, including key scenes at the salt lakes and salt deserts of Utah ... More
Pera Museum Istanbul presents installation by Casper Faassen ISTANBUL.- Pera Museum Istanbul presents a new installation featuring photographic works by Dutch artist Casper Faassen (1975, Leiden). The works are shown alongside Yeni Camii and The Port of Istanbul, 1776 by Jean-Baptiste Hilaire – from the museum’s permanent collection – as part of the artist’s ReCollection series. In this dialogue, Faasen’s work responds to details in Hilaire’s painting depicting marble objects being loaded onto a boat in the Bosphorus, en route to France. The installation will be on view until early 2027. From his studio in Leiden, Faassen examines how Western museum collections have been formed and how cultural authority has been historically constructed. “It is difficult to make sense of recent geopolitical developments without a broader historical context. In recent years, there has been growing recognition in the West of how colonial, ... More
Igshaan Adams: Between Then and Now, opens this week at Mudam Luxembourg LUXEMBOURG.- Igshaan Adams (b. 1982, Cape Town) creates layered compositions that blur the boundaries between textiles, sculpture and performance. His early interest in weaving began with the handmade baskets his family collected during his childhood. His artistic practice has evolved through a deeply intuitive approach to textiles: ’I deliberately avoided getting weaving training so as not to know, and to operate from that not-knowing.’ Through a collaborative practice, Adams’ work draws on personal memory, spirituality and shared histories, transforming overlooked materials from daily Cape Town life into powerful reflections on identity, value and belonging. Igshaan Adams: Between Then and Now is conceived as a woven timeline of the artist’s work, embedded with residues of history and echoes of his past. Raised in Bonteheuwel, a racially segregated suburb of Cape ... More
Alice Bucknell's Clipped Horizon reframes speculative futures at Basement Roma ROME.- In In Free Fall (2011), Hito Steyerl suggests that we have lost horizontal perspective along with any shared ground. We’re living inside a collapse. No drama—just free fall. Here, falling does not necessarily mean falling apart but falling into place. Into a place with many more horizons, perhaps. Alice Bucknell’s work follows the same logic, testing multiple perspectives—including the most uncomfortable ones—to keep the future open rather than having a single prediction. Moving through Bucknell’s work feels like entering a conspiratorial Reddit thread, where CTO Seth is selling you sunsets to cool the Earth, and Elon’s twin—Jason—trained on Donna Haraway’s theories and SpaceX press releases, promises high-quality artistic events on Mars. Pure chemistry and capital. Bucknell’s solo exhibition title, Clipped Horizon, borrows from video game terminology, where “clipping” ... More

On a day like today, American artist Thomas Cole died
February 11, 1848. Thomas Cole (February 1, 1801 - February 11, 1848) was an Anglo-American artist who founded the Hudson River School art movement. He painted romantic landscapes and history paintings. Influenced by European painters, but with a strong American sensibility, he was prolific throughout his career and worked primarily with oil on canvas. His paintings are typically allegoric and often depict small figures or structures set against moody and evocative natural landscapes. In this image: Thomas Cole, Italian Scene Composition, 1833. Oil on canvas, 37 1/2 x 54 1/2 in. New-York Historical Society, 1858.19.
