WATER MILL, NY.- The Parrish Art Museum presents a landmark exhibition of artist James Howell (American, 1935–2014) from September 13, 2025, through February 8, 2026. Endless Limits: The Work of James Howell, 1962–2014 is the first career retrospective of the artist and the first time his work will be shown on Long Island, a region that profoundly shaped his practice. “James Howell’s work offers a quiet intensity that rewards close looking,” said Mónica Ramírez-Montagut, Executive Director of the Parrish Art Museum. “His disciplined, tonal investigations speak deeply to the artistic and natural environment of the East End and the timeless pursuit of the infinite and the transcendental in art. I am excited for our visitors to learn more about this complex and inspiring artist.” This retrospective will be the first to explore Howell’s gradual path to his later body of work, ... More |

HARWICH, UK .- A trove of ancient Celtic coins amassed over three decades by antiquities connoisseur the late John P Meredith of Cornwall, England, is a featured attraction in TimeLine’s September 16-17, 2025 Numismatic Auction. In addition to rare and historically significant coinage, the 1,459-lot sale also includes weights, tokens, medals and highly-regarded numismatic books from a number of advanced collections. The scholarly descriptions in TimeLine’s auction catalogue are quite fascinating in that so many describe discoveries made by chance or by metal detectorists in parts of England where Roman occupation was most prevalent. An Anglo-Saxon/Anglo-Viking (Hiberno-Norse Northumbria) Sihtric Caoch AR Penny, was struck in 921-927 AD and is attributed to the moneyer Albert at an unknown mint. A sword and upright Thor’s Hammer with three crescents are seen on the ... More |

NEW YORK, NY.- Christie's announced Elaine: The Collection of Elaine Wynn, which will be showcased during the Fall Marquee Week of Sales this November.

In total, the collection is estimated to realize in excess of $75 million. Gillian Wynn remarks: “My mother celebrated every piece that she collected. She felt privileged to live with each and every one, but always understood that she was merely a temporary custodian. Good art moves and provokes us and then must live on to do the same for others.” ... More |

Georges de La Tour, The Repentant Magdalen, c. 1635-1640, oil on canvas, 113 x 92.7 cm, Washington, National Gallery of Art. Photo: Courtesy National Gallery of Art, Washington
PARIS.- From 11 September 2025 to 25 January 2026, the Musée Jacquemart-André is devoting a brand new exhibition to Georges de La Tour (1593-1652), offering a fresh look at the rare and luminous work of one of the greatest French painters of the 17th century. Following the success of its exhibitions devoted to Caravaggio (2018) and Artemisia Gentileschi (2025), the Musée Jacquemart- André is continuing its exploration of the masters influenced by the Caravaggio revolution by honouring Georges de La Tour (1593-1652). This retrospective will be the first devoted to the artist in France since the historic exhibition at the Grand Palais in 1997. The exhibition at the Musée Jacquemart-André takes a fresh look at the career of Georges de La Tour, attempting to shed light on the questions that still surround his work and his career. Despite the rarity of the originals that have come down to us, the art of Georges de La Tour has left a ... More |

NEW YORK, NY.- Pace presents The Weight of Hope, a monumental exhibition by Robert Longo, in New York from September 11 to October 25. As a sequel to the Milwaukee Art Museum’s recent presentation of Robert Longo: The Acceleration of History—curated by Margaret Andera, the institution’s Senior Curator of Contemporary Art—Longo will take over Pace’s entire 540 West 25th Street gallery, exhibiting 26 drawings, three films, three sculptures, and 33 studies across the flagship’s first, second, third, and seventh floors as well as its exterior.

A Pace Live performance featuring musician Rhys Chatham, along with an opening reception for the exhibition, will take place on the evening of Wednesday, September 10, a ... More |

Claudine Monchaussé, Sculpture, 2024, stoneware, fired in the alandier, 29 × 10 × 10 cm, courtesy of Galerie Sylvain Courbois © Pascal Vangysel, Adagp, Paris, 2025.
BRUSSELS.- From September 11 to December 13, 2025, La Verrière, the exhibition space of the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès in Brussels, unveils “Sourdre”, an exhibition by Claudine Monchaussé. The presentation of the work of this little-known sculptor also brings together artists and figures from different generations, including Nicolas Bourthoumieux, Damien Fragnon, mountaincutters, Germaine Richier and Marie Talbot. This is a unique opportunity for the public to immerse themselves in the artist’s ceramic creations, showcasing more than five decades of practice. The exhibition draws its inspiration from the village of La Borne —in the Berry regio — a pottery mecca identified as early as the 12th century for its earthenware, where Claudine Monchaussé chose to live. She settled there in 1959 after discovering the stoneware sculptures produced there in Paris. She was ... More |

A remarkable, rare and newly re-attributed figure of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion. © Christie's Images Ltd 2025.
HONG KONG.- The first live sale for the launch of Indian, Himalayan and Southeast Asian Art department at Christie's Asia Pacific will be held in Hong Kong on 3 November 2025, during the Hong Kong Asian Art Week. Industry veteran Edward Wilkinson will lead the dedicated sales to be held in Hong Kong and London in 2025 alongside a broader offering within the existing sales held in Paris and then New York in 2026. Highlighting the 40-lot Hong Kong sale is a remarkable, rare and newly re-attributed figure of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion. It is a masterpiece of Buddhist sculpture that demonstrates a new international style that emerged in the Yuan court in the late 13th century - the time of the great Khubilai Khan (1215–1294). Under the direction of the famed Nepalese artist and architect, Aniko, the Yuan court ateliers merged the best Indian, Nepalese and Chinese elements to create a new style that ... More |

BERLIN.- The Julia Stoschek Foundation is presenting one of the most extensive solo exhibitions by British artist Mark Leckey (b. 1964, Birkenhead, Great Britain) to date. “Enter Thru Medieval Wounds” combines key video works from the Julia Stoschek Collection dating from 1999 to 2010 with more recent works, offering a comprehensive insight into Leckey’s artistic practice. Drawing on seminal works from the collection such as Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (1999), Leckey’s now-iconic portrait of British rave culture, and Cinema-in-the-Round (2006–08), for which he received the prestigious Turner Prize in 2008, “Enter Thru Medieval Wounds” explores the intersections of pop and youth culture, social class, and technology from the 1970s to the present. For nearly three decades, Leckey has examined how media shapes perception, memory, and desire, illuminating these complex, shifting processes. The exhibition’s title, “Enter Thru Medieval Wounds”, reflects ... More |

Pokémon Raichu 14 Unlimited Base Set Prerelease PSA Trading Card Game EX-MT 6 (Wizards of the Coast, 1999) Holo, Rare.
DALLAS, TX.- In the early days of the English Pokémon Trading Card Game, game publisher Wizards of the Coast hosted test league events where players learned the game. Four official prerelease promo cards — Jungle, Fossil, Team Rocket and Gym Heroes — were awarded at these test league events. Whispers of a fifth prerelease card spread for years but were never officially confirmed. During production of the Prerelease Jungle Clefable, the story went, a handful of Base Set Raichu cards were also marked “Prerelease” by mistake, but the error was never publicly acknowledged. The affected cards were dismissed as rumor until 2006, when a former Wizards of the Coast employee produced undeniable photographic evidence. Today, serious collectors can bid on the mysterious and extraordinarily rare Prerelease Raichu in Heritage’s Sept. 19-20 Trading Card Games Signature® Auction. Damon ... More |

Man Ray (American, 1890–1976), ANPOR, 1919. Gouache, ink, and colored pencils on paper, 15 1/2 × 11 1/2 in. (39.4 × 29.2 cm) Collection of Gale and Ira Drukier. Image © The Metropolitan Museum of Art, photo by Bruce Schwarz
NEW YORK, NY.- Man Ray: When Objects Dream at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the first major exhibition to examine the radical experimentation of American artist Man Ray (1890-1976) through one of his most significant bodies of work, the rayograph. Man Ray coined the term rayograph to name his version of the 19th-century technique of making photographs without a camera. He created them by placing objects on or near a sheet of light-sensitive paper, which he then exposed to light and developed. These photograms—as they are also called—appear as reversed silhouettes, or negative versions, of their subjects. They often feature recognizable items that become wonderfully mysterious in the artist's hands. Their transformative nature led the Dada poet Tristan Tzara to describe ... More |

 Colored gemstones shine in Heritage's Sept. 29 fall jewelry auction
DALLAS, TX.- A spectacular array of exceptional jewels awaits in Heritage’s Sept. 29 Fall Fine Jewelry Signature® Auction. Boasting nearly 570 lots spread across two sessions, the auction features extraordinary highlights ranging from unheated Kashmir and Ceylon sapphires, Burma rubies and Colombian emeralds to signature designs by the likes of Cartier, Bvlgari, Van Cleef & Arpels and Tiffany & Co. Among the standout lots is a rainbow’s worth of non-treated colored gemstones. While most of the colored gemstones on the market today have undergone heat treatment to enhance their clarity and/or color, these gems exhibit natural, untouched beauty. “This is likely the highest number of important colored non-treated gemstones we’ve ever offered,” says Jill Burgum, Heritage’s Executive Director of Fine Jewelry. “They are extremely rare, as their color is natural. ... More RISD Museum announces new curatorial leadership in prints, drawings, and photographs
PROVIDENCE, RI.- The RISD Museum announces new leadership in its Department of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs (PDP). Michael Hartman has been named the Houghton P. Metcalf Jr. Curator and Head of the Department, effective October 1, 2025; Associate Curator Conor Moynihan, who was promoted in 2024, continues his role in shaping PDP’s future; and Tori Champion has been appointed the Andrew W. Mellon Curatorial Fellow. Hartman joins the RISD Museum from the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College, where he served as Jonathan Little Cohen Associate Curator of American Art. At the Hood, he oversaw the Arts of the Americas collections from 1500 to the present and curated projects such as Beyond the Bouquet: Arranging Flowers in American Art; Liquidity: Art, Commodities, and Water; Historical Imaginary; and Photographs ... More Secession presents 'Danzante,' a new exhibition by artist June Crespo
VIENNA.- June Crespo’s sculptural assemblages, which the artist understands as communicating vessels, resonate within our bodies. At times delicate, at others forceful, they always emanate a vital, living quality. Most of the works in the exhibition Danzante take their formal vocabulary from the iris and the strelitzia (bird of paradise). Yet the artist is not concerned with representing these plants. Instead of proposing a classificatory symbolic order, they serve as starting points for a deeper engagement with materiality and the evocative potential of surfaces and textures, which take precedence over the pictorial dimension. Crespo treats her materials as agents, understanding herself an assistant to her work rather than an authority figure. In this way, she offers us a visceral experience – an encounter with objects that touch us in our corporeality and heighten our awareness ... More The National Art Center, Tokyo presents Prism of the Real: Making Art in Japan 1989-2010
TOKYO.- Prism of the Real: Making Art in Japan 1989–2010 examines the practices of more than 50 artists from Japan and abroad. It explores both the art that emerged in Japan and how Japanese culture inspired the world between 1989, when the Shōwa era (1926–1989) ended and the Heisei era (1989–2019) began, and 2010. These two decades saw the end of the Cold War and the advent of contemporary globalization, enabling the freer movement of people, goods, and information, and greatly encouraging international dialogue and engagement. Throughout this period, artists in Japan and elsewhere pursued new approaches, acting as prisms that refracted the social and cultural currents of the time into works that pose diverse questions. Co-curated by The National Art Center, Tokyo and M+, Hong Kong, this exhibition reflects on this critical transitional period through ... More Hicham Berrada's new exhibition 'Dilutions' unveils AI-generated paintings
PARIS.- Mennour is presenting “Dilutions”, Hicham Berrada’s fourth solo exhibition, that brings together a collection of new paintings. Though the images you see appear as oil paintings of landscapes, whose compositions may evoke some of the greatest names in that field, these works are nonetheless the result of artificial intelligence. Hicham Berrada has taken hold of one of those tools—not one of the monsters mentioned so often today who consume boundless energy, but a more modest model. That model, emptied of all memory, was fed by the artist with all his past works: videos, performances, aquariums, praised or failed. Then he fed a second model with images that are perpetual sources of inspiration for him: paintings of landscapes, often linked to the aesthetics of the sublime or the unusual. Those two memories were merged together and led to identify and generate ... More PalaisPopulaire opens Charmaine Poh's first institutional exhibition
BERLIN.- Charmaine Poh (born 1990, Singapore), Deutsche Bank "Artist of the Year" 2025, will present her solo exhibition Make a travel deep of your inside, and don't forget me to take at the PalaisPopulaire from September 11, 2025, to February 23, 2026. The artist, who lives in Singapore and Berlin, works with video, installation, and performance. In her multimedia narratives, Poh explores themes such as identity, power structures, feminism, and queerness in Southeast Asia. Her works weave together multiple perspectives and perceptions, past and future, into a flowing stream of consciousness. “Charmaine Poh's works revolve around self-empowerment in a world where the boundaries between reality and virtuality are increasingly blurred," explains Britta Färber, Head of Art and Culture at Deutsche Bank and curator of the exhibition. "Her gentle, vulnerable, yet persistent ... More National Gallery announces 10 new artistic projects for After the Rain
CANBERRA.- The National Gallery of Australia has commissioned leading First Nations artists to create 10 immersive projects for the upcoming 5th National Indigenous Art Triennial, set to open this summer. Opening in Kamberri/Canberra on 6 December 2025, the 5th National Indigenous Art Triennial: After the Rain, will see the vision of Artistic Director, Tony Albert, Girramay/Yidinji/Kuku-Yalanji peoples, come to life through 10 multidisciplinary installations by contemporary artists from across Australia. Albert has brought together emerging and established artists from as far as Erub in the far north-east of Zenadth Kes/Torres Strait to Ntaria/Hermannsburg in Central Australia and Naarm/Melbourne to create ambitious projects responding to the theme of After the Rain. From large-scale murals and video works to intimate painting and soft sculpture, After the Rain includes ... More Willie Birch debuts new monochrome paintings in solo exhibition 'Up on the Roof'
NEW YORK, NY.- Fort Gansevoort presents Up on the Roof, its second solo exhibition with noted Louisiana-based artist Willie Birch. The twelve large-scale paintings on view, all exhibited for the first time, feature the people, landscapes, and architectural structures Birch has observed in his New Orleans community. Beginning in the year 2000, Birch turned away from the vibrant colors characteristic of his oeuvre and began layering charcoal marks and smudges with white acrylic paint on paper. Since then, he has committed fully to this formal strategy, working exclusively in a monochrome palette to render poignant works that mingle references to current events with nuanced observation of the visible quotidian world—images that reflect Birch’s understanding of humanity in all its complex and contradictory truth. The seemingly sundry objects that fill Birch’s frame accrue to more ... More La Pascaline 1642: For the first time in history, a machine replaces the human brain
PARIS.- Developed by Blaise Pascal in 1642, the Pascaline is a scientific instrument of considerable historical value. Undoubtedly the most important scientific instrument ever offered at auction, its inclusion in the 19 November sale of the Bibliothèque Léon Parcé, is an event of great magnitude. The Pascaline is much more than a simple mechanical object: it is the first attempt in history to substitute the human mind with a machine. Its invention marks a breakthrough, a 'quantum leap' whose importance and significance take on a very special meaning today. “{…} This work was considered a novelty in that it reduced an entirely mental science to a machine and found a way to perform all of its operations with complete certainty, without the need for reasoning. {…} Such a bold conceptual and metaphysical innovation could only have sprung from one of the most brilliant ... More Max Lamb and 1882 Ltd. collaborate on new ceramic furniture exhibition
LONDON.- Gallery FUMI presents Crockery: an exhibition of new works by designer Max Lamb in collaboration with 1882 Ltd., a contemporary ceramics factory based in Stoke-on-Trent, opening on 11 September 2025. The works are crafted using slip-cast earthenware from plaster models meticulously carved by hand. An embodiment of the innovative spirit of both Lamb and 1882 Ltd., this series challenges the conventional perception of ceramics as delicate and unsuitable for functional design. In Crockery Max Lamb and 1882 Ltd. reevaluate our relationship to ceramic. Lamb’s mission has always been to experiment with every material. “Ceramic, often perceived as fragile and untouchable, intrigued me - especially because ceramic furniture is so rare. I wanted to explore its potential, not just as a sculptural medium but as a material capable of supporting the human ...
