DALLAS, TX.- The only copy that ever will exist of an extraordinary card featuring NBA uniform logos and signatures from two of the greatest players of all time smashed the record for any sports card at auction in Heritage's Summer Platinum Night Sports Auction.

The world record result shot past the previous record for the most ever paid for a sports card at auction, surpassing the 1952 Topps Mickey Ma ... More
Detail from reproduction of Tutankhamun’s throne 2022.3.1, Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East.
CAMBRIDGE, MASS.- Pharaohs, pyramids, sphinxes, and hieroglyphs—ancient Egypt has captivated the world for millennia. In Egypt Eternal: 4,000 Years of Fascination the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East explores our enduring interest. In a bright and refreshed gallery with an elegant arched window revealed for the first time in decades, the new exhibition showcases returning favorites such as the mummy case of Padimut (now able to be viewed in 360°), an elaborate teak and ivory reproduction of King Tutankhamun’s throne, the portrait of Idu in his underground tomb chapel, and the award-winning Dreaming the Sphinx augmented-reality experience for the Dream Stela of King Thutmose IV. Many of the objects in the exhibition have been scanned and formed into digital 3D models that are easily shared with the public. The models enable three coffins to be opened virtually from within the gallery—or anywhere. Other pieces from the museum’s collections are on display for the ... More
SEOUL.- Coinciding with the fourth edition of Frieze Seoul, Thaddaeus Ropac and White Cube will present ‘Inextricable’, a two-part exhibition by Antony Gormley. The artist’s debut solo show in the city follows the opening of his major projects ‘Drawing on Space’ and ‘Ground’ at Museum SAN, in Wonju, in summer 2025. ‘Inextricable’ infiltrates the public realm and its inner shelter to interrogate the entanglement between humanity and the city – a relationship so thoroughly inscribed that, as the artist states, ‘the world now builds us.’ The exhibition opens at a time when more than half the global population lives within the urban grid – a figure the United Nations projects will rise to a further 70 percent by 2050. Positioned as both reflection and provocation, the exhibition is a test site, talking directly to the materials and methods of the city and creating a resonance between the space of the body and its surroundings. The wo ... More
Lisa Oppenheim, Madamm Steichen Version IV, 2025.
NEW YORK, NY.- Tanya Bonakdar Gallery will present Ourselves and the Expression of Ourselves, an exhibition of new work by Lisa Oppenheim, on view in New York from September 3 through October 23, 2025. This is the artist’s sixth solo exhibition with the gallery. Over the last two decades, Lisa Oppenheim has developed a body of work that is rooted in the field of photography while also investigating the medium’s often overlooked margins and histories. For Ourselves and the Expression of Ourselves, Oppenheim transforms and embodies the practice of one of the twentieth century’s most well known yet enigmatic artists whose multifaceted career spanned nearly eighty years: Edward Steichen (born Edouard Jean Steichen, 1879, Luxembourg — 1973, Redding, Connecticut). Steichen, a photographer, designer, curator, and flower hybridizer, was first known for his work introducing Cézanne and the European avant-garde to America with Alfred Stieglitz at 291 Gallery during the early ...

Martinus Rørbye, View from the Artist's Window, 1823-1827. Statens Museum for Kunst, open.smk.dk, public domain.
CHARLOTTENLUND.- Most of us have at least one of them: a houseplant. In fact, Denmark has the highest number of houseplants per person anywhere in the world. In the upcoming special exhibition Plant Fever. The World on the Windowsill, created by The Hirschsprung Collection and Ordrupgaard, the two museums are the first ever to focus on the houseplants that surround us in our homes and daily lives. The result is a major exhibition that unfolds across both museums. With the exhibition Plant Fever. The World on the Windowsill, Ordrupgaard and The Hirschsprung Collection tell the story of how a wealth of imported plants, then regarded as highly exotic, made their way into Danish homes in the nineteenth century. A veritable plant craze spread, and soon those previously foreign plants became a natural part of everyday life. Houseplants feature prominently in nineteenth-century paintings and drawings. Yet the hidden stories of these plants and their ... More
Harry Bertoia, Untitled, 1970s, beryllium copper on brass plate, 39 3/8 x 12 x 12 inches.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Hosfelt Gallery mounts the first major West Coast presentation of Harry Bertoia’s work since his 1956 exhibition at SFMOMA. One of the defining figures of Mid-Century Modernism, Harry Bertoia (1915–1978) made sculptures, drawings and jewelry; designed furniture that would prove to be iconic; executed more than 50 large-scale architectural commissions; and experimented with sound by performing on sculptures he crafted to be both formally beautiful and euphonic. More than 60 sculptures and drawings from the 1940s to late 1970s illustrate the technical skill of a master and vision of a genius. In sculptures, made primarily from bronze or beryllium copper, Bertoia frequently referred to nature as a means of expressing the infinite. Forms suggest blossoms, grasses, seedheads, willows or corals. Others seem to refer to totemic figures, mineral deposits, meteorites or mycelium. The surfaces -- sometimes polished, sometimes sensuously encrusted, can seem sedimentary, biological or bo ... More
FRANKFURT.- From 4 September 2025, the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation presents a comprehensive retrospective of the work of Belgian artist Harry Gruyaert, a European pioneer of colour photography. Comprising around 120 images from the 1970s to the early 2000s, it is the most extensive presentation of Gruyaert's work in Germany to date. Alongside well-known photographs taken during his travels, the exhibition also features early black-and-white works from Gruyaert's native Belgium and images from his “Rivages” series. Harry Gruyaert created most of his extensive body of work in countries such as Egypt, India, Morocco, the US, Russia, Spain or France. With his extraordinary sense for composing colour and space, he captures landscapes and urban scenes, emphasising contrasts: the impressive play of light and shadow in an airport terminal, the intense yellow of an American vintage car, the vibrant colours of Moroccan streets or the more muted tones of Belgian landscapes. Gruyaert disco ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- François Ghebaly New York announces Materia Expandida, a two-person exhibition featuring Patricia Iglesias Peco and Pablo Edelstein opening at the gallery’s Lower East Side location in September 2025. Patricia Iglesias Peco’s (b. 1974, Buenos Aires, Argentina) practice is tuned into the vibrancy of the natural world, imagining rambunctious gardens of flora and fauna rendered in oil paint—vegetal bodies caught in whirling gestures of bloom and decay, a choreography of endless beginnings. A playful undulating tension pervades Iglesias Peco’s strange compositions, which appear simultaneously grotesque and beautiful, repulsive and alluring. Flowers appear as more than familiar metaphors but vessels for the artist to exercise her formal interest in painting and color theory. Iglesias Peco holds a BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design and the School of Visual Arts in New York. She has participated in several solo and group shows including the Santa Barbara Museu ... More
SAO PAULO.- Meteorium is a structure designed specifically for the central space of the Pina Luz building, the Octagon, projecting a three-dimensional panorama divided into eight chambers, with walls and floors painted in reference to natural elements. Artist Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster invites the public to enter the installation and reimagine its intertwining with the environment. In this unprecedented project, the public is invited to explore each of the eight chambers of the structure created by the artist, composed of paintings that evoke specific elements of nature: rain, snow, lava, clouds, mud, dust, and petals. Gonzalez-Foerster reveals how meteorological phenomena and natural elements shape not only our physical surroundings, but also our emotional and psychological worlds. On the second floor, Meteorium II It is made up of musical instruments, including a rainstick and a wind machine, which invite the audience ... More
French savoir faire meets the carefree joy of childhood in the form of pop culture sculptures produced by the artisans of the Leblon Delienne studio.
NEW YORK, NY.- From Snoopy to Hello Kitty, from Batman to Harry Potter, and from Pokémon to the Smurfs, our beloved pop culture icons come to life in the hands of the talented artisans of the Leblon Delienne sculpture studio. Collaborating with the most celebrated artists and designers of our time—including Paul Cocksedge, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Kelly Hoppen, Megan Hess, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, and Sickboy—the Normandy-based studio re-creates life-size 3D models of beloved characters such as Mickey and Minnie, We Bare Bears, and Maneki-neko, and transforms them into resin, marble, or bronze sculptures. The resulting pop art figurines add a creative, playful ambience to any interior, and demonstrate how art and pop culture can brighten a home and appeal to children and adults alike. This book takes readers inside the atelier to follow the designers and artisans through the creative ... More
Cindy Ji Hye Kim, The Sower and the Plough, Midday, 2025, Acrylic, oil pastel, charcoal, graphite, chalk on canvas, 36 x 26" / 91.4 x 66cm. Photo: Dan Bradica Studio.
NEW YORK, NY.- Casey Kaplan will present Saboteur: A Prehistoric Wish, Cindy Ji Hye Kim’s second exhibition with the gallery. Inspired by the pictorial tradition of medieval calendars and their depictions of farm labor, Kim's new site-specific installation and paintings on silk and canvas explore the psychic reconnection of the human body as it moves through the Autumn Equinox to the end of the Winter Solstice. In traditional medieval calendars, the pages illustrating the six months from August to January are adorned with scenes of harvesting and threshing wheat, sowing seeds, fattening livestock, slaughtering animals, and resting. Kim reinterprets these labors of the latter half of the year as allegories for a period of closure, when the fruits of the land must be extracted, livestock sacrificed, and the laboring body comes to an idle pause. Against this melancholic backdrop of nature's transitional phase, Kim's silhouetted, skeletal forms teeter on the edge of decomposition. In pieces such as ... More
Samuel Fosso, From the series 'African Spirits' L_002783 (M.L. King/FBI), 2008. Ilford Fiberbased Glossy Paper, 69 5/16" x 51 3/16" (176 x 130 cm) Edition of 5 plus 2 artist's proofs.
NEW YORK, NY.- Yossi Milo announces Samuel Fosso’s debut solo exhibition with the gallery, which opens to the public on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, with a reception from 6-8 PM. This is Fosso’s first solo exhibition in New York in more than two decades, and spans more than thirty years of his practice, showcasing works from his series 70s Lifestyle and African Spirits. The exhibition follows the unveiling of an installation of the artist’s photographs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s newly renovated Michael C. Rockefeller Wing earlier this year; the exhibition also precedes the artist’s inclusion in Ideas of Africa: Portraiture and the Political Imagination, a survey of African studio photography at the Museum of Modern Art curated by Oluremi Onabanjo and opening on December 14, 2025. Over his decades-long career, Cameroonian-Nigerian photographer Samuel Fosso (b. 1962; Kumba, Cameroon) has deployed self-portraiture to innovate on storied ... More
Gabrielle Garland, And... and... c’mon, Nick, what do you expect? To live happily ever after? —Elizabeth James, The Parent Trap (1998), 2024, Acrylic, oil, and glitter on canvas, 48 x 48 inches, 121.9 x 121.9 cm,.
NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery announced Gabrielle Garland’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, I’ll Get You, My Pretty, and Your Little Dog Too, on view 4 September - 25 October at 511 West 22nd Street. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated publication featuring an essay by Tara Anne Dalbow. While Gabrielle Garland’s paintings do not depict any figures, they maintain an air of portraiture. Here, the subjects are not people, but the homes they inhabit, which act as surrogates of their personality and private lives. Garland’s impressionistic style does not seek an exacting architectural record. Instead, she treats each home with patient reverence, revealing subtle facets easily overlooked in the haste of the everyday passerby. Stairs, flower boxes, or mailboxes swell or shrink disproportionately, revealing the distortions of the artist’s memory (that murky area where structural logic intermingles with emotional noise). At times, her ... More

Urban unrest: Tessa Lynch's 'Arena' explores the hidden controls of city life GLASGOW.- Tessa Lynch's solo exhibition, Arena, features both new and repositioned artworks. An artist known for her material allusiveness, here Lynch critically reflects on the control of urban life, crafting scenarios that are both humorous and unsettling. Tessa Lynch’s artworks have a graphic quality. They are direct and deadpan; materially precise and subtlety expressive. From site-specific sculpture through to performance, print and more, Lynch favours a way of making where ideas guide form. It's a discursive process, a conversation or collaboration not only with the world built all around us, thinking how this can be refracted, but with the bodies that share this space. In this way, Lynch’s artworks re-chart the emotional impact of the structures we are surrounded by, prompting us to question who controls the city space and how this coercion manifests in the urban realm. ...

David Nolan Gallery presents an exhibition of Paulo Pasta's luminous works NEW YORK, NY.- David Nolan Gallery announced passages, a solo exhibition of paintings by Paulo Pasta (b. 1959), marking the artist’s second solo presentation in New York City. Looked upon as one of Brazil’s most influential and beloved painters, Paulo Pasta moves easily between pure abstraction and landscape art. His work evokes architectural space, landscapes both urban and pastoral, memory, and perception through a rigorous yet poetic language of geometry, color, and light. His paintings live in a space that is physical, emotional, and suggestive of worlds beyond ours. Whether in the form of small “pocket paintings” or large-scale canvases, Pasta’s works are elegant, compositionally self-assured, and tonally resonant. For years, Pasta has maintained a private practice of painting landscapes which carry a sense of ambiguity and obscurity, bordering on abstraction. ... More
Sonoma Valley Museum of Art announces "Last West: Dorothea Lange's California Revisited" SONOMA, CALIF.- SVMA will present Last West: Dorothea Lange’s California Revisited, featuring Lange’s iconic as well as rarely seen California images in dialogue with contemporary works by artists Erik Castro, Warren Chang, Lewis deSoto, Bruce Haley, Ken Light, Hung Liu, Narsiso Martinez, Joel Daniel Phillips, and others. Coinciding with the 90th anniversary of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), Last West uplifts current movements for dignity in the lives of migrant populations upon which California’s robust economy and agriculture depend. This exhibition touches on the eerily contemporary issues that Dorothea Lange photographed nearly a century ago—mass migrancy and shelterlessness, damage to soil and landscapes, and internment. The exhibition also includes a video installation and live theater performances based on the book Last West: ... More
Sholto Blissett's new exhibition explores the sculpting power of water NEW YORK, NY.- Alexander Berggruen will present Sholto Blissett: The white heat of cold water. This exhibition will open Wednesday, September 10, 2025 with a 5-7 pm reception at the gallery (1018 Madison Avenue, Floor 3, New York, NY). Sholto Blissett’s paintings explore the powers of nature and time through depictions of the strong forces of water. Notably absent from his new body of work is any semblance of human presence. Instead, the scenes in The white heat of cold water present a dramatic relationship between water and the land it carves. His imagined landscapes continue to probe at our constructed understandings of the natural world, challenging the ways humans are alienated from it and often take it for granted. Where Casper David Friedrich’s monumental landscapes acted as a tool for contemplating God and the sublime, Blissett’s landscapes act ... More
New curatorial project at Layr explores "New Vienna Energy" VIENNA.- In their just initiated new collaborative curatorial enterprise Kristoffer Cezinando Karlsen and Josef Strau will show some friends in two very distinctively influential Viennese galleries. At Layr and at City. Leading out of broader and more general cultural stagnation, New Vienna Energy becomes attached with what was and what is known, with a the subject unknown and other usual reductions. The complex artists list will connect the spirit of this particular general moment of the finally growing city with the international cultural phenomena of a still uncategorized change of artists self perceptions into artists self awareness. Because of phenomena like this one a place and a group can become an attractor. This long searched for but then just happens by chance. This is moment, this epoch, this attractor is until this day unnamed. Imagining it as a convention of artists, underlined ... More

Kerlin Gallery introduces Hazel O'Sullivan with an exhibition of new paintings and sculptures DUBLIN.- Kerlin Gallery will present Circa Ré, an exhibition of new work by Hazel O’Sullivan. Working across painting and sculpture, Hazel O’Sullivan reimagines artefacts and art objects within an immersive retrofuturist narrative. Her paintings frequently interpret forts and mechanisms that open gateways to the mythological Otherworld as a way to connect with pre-colonisation. For Circa Ré, O’Sullivan’s sources include medieval and prehistoric objects, illuminated manuscripts, and sacred grounds. Soaking in this trove of archaeological and artistic references, O’Sullivan then manipulates colour, scale and perspective to create architectural compositions that tap into vernacular traditions and mythologies. Core to the exhibition are a suite of eight modular paintings, Droichead na Sidhe, which interact to form two cohesive images when hung together. For these works, ... More
Generations of abstraction: An unexpected dialogue between two painters at rodolphe janssen BRUSSELS.- rodolphe janssen invites the public to the opening of Des géométries instables, a duo exhibition curated by Marjolaine Lévy, with Brooklin A. Soumahoro and Léon Wuidar, Thursday, September 4, from 6 to 9 PM, as part of RendezVous – Brussels Art Week (September 4–5–6–7). “Des géométries variables” presents an unexpected encounter between two painters, Léon Wuidar and Brooklin A. Soumahoro, who at first glance seem to have little in common. They differ in artistic lineage, generation, and geography. Wuidar was born in 1938 in Liège, where he still lives, and since the late 1960s has produced singular paintings, works that inherit geometric abstraction yet never fully renounce figuration or references to the world around us. Soumahoro, on the other hand, was born in 1990 in Paris and has lived for about a decade in Los ... More
