ZURICH.— The Kunsthaus Zürich is staging the first comprehensive retrospective devoted to Suzanne Duchamp. Her interweaving of suggestive picture titles such as ‘Factory of my Thoughts’ with graphically striking yet minimalist compositions has entered art history yet remains inspirational to this day. Nevertheless, despite belonging to one of the most famous artist families, she has until now been largely unknown to a wider audience. The exhibition, which includes exceptional loans from renowned public and private collections, finally gives Duchamp the prominence she deserves. 📚 Uncover the influential art of Suzanne Duchamp! Delve into her unique perspective as a key figure in modern art. Click to buy on Amazon now! The Dadaist and painter Suzanne Duchamp (1889, Blainville-Crevon – 1963, Neuilly sur-Seine) left behind a multifaceted oeuvre which features in prestigious collections but is primarily appreciated by connoisseurs. She was strongly involved with the avant-garde movements of her time and contributed with her own particular mark to art history. The sister of Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Duchamp-Villon and Jacques Villon, she was in close exchange with her siblings. In 1919, she married the Swiss artist Jean Crotti, with whom she recurrently worked together, and from whom some key works are held by the Kunsthaus Zürich. The last significant exhibition on the couple was at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 1983, in association with the Kunsthalle Bern. The time is ripe, then, to honour Suzanne Duchamp’s work in greater depth. Her pictorial language is subtle, humorous and aesthetic – a rather unusual combination in Dada. And what better place than Zurich, the birthplace of Dada in 1916, to grant this exceptional artist the attention she merits. 🖼️ Value our daily art insights? Consider a gift to ArtDaily!

Almine Rech opens Dustin Yellin If a bird's nest is nature, what is a house?

NEW YORK, NY.— I was doomscrolling social media late one night—call it a ritual, call it a failure of will—when I landed on a TikTok clip of astrophysicist Hakeem Oluseyi chatting with Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Paul Mecurio. In the video, Oluseyi explains the Andromeda paradox with casual brilliance: Imagine you’re sitting still in a chair and someone runs past you—at the precise moment you cross paths, you both look up at the Andromeda galaxy. Due to the relativity of simultaneity and the immense distance of Andromeda, you each perceive the galaxy as it existed on entirely different days, despite occupying nearly the same space and time. In a universe governed by Einstein’s theory of special relativity, time is elastic, contingent, dependent on motion and

"A New Look at the Longworths" celebrates significant gift of portraits

CINCINNATI, OH.— The Taft Museum of Art announces the new exhibition, A New Look at the Longworths, June 28–November 2, 2025. This show celebrates the generous gift of portraits of Nicholas and Susan Longworth and Nicholas’s sister, Catherine, to the museum by Emily Renshaw Pistilli, Nicholas and Susan’s direct descendent. Newly conserved, the paintings provide an opportunity to delve into the history of this influential Cincinnati family, whose patronage helped shape both the Taft’s and their city’s cultural and civic identity. For over three decades (beginning in 1830), Nicholas and Susan Longworth resided in the home that is now the Taft Museum of Art, and indeed, the portraits may have been painted here. The Longworth family has owned the works ever since. The exhibition marks the first time they are on public view. “We are so grateful to Emily Renshaw Pistilli for donating

New exhibition highlights Scottish artists who became global stars of art history

DUNDEE.— Ten pioneering modern Scottish artists are the subject of a new exhibition at The McManus, opening this month. The bold visions and international acclaim have placed them among the greats of global art history. These artists are Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, Robert Colquhoun, William Crozier, Alan Davie, William Gear, William Johnstone, Robert MacBryde, Eduardo Paolozzi, William Scott and William Turnbull. All ten made a unique contribution to the development of modern art worldwide. All ten left their home country to achieve success. All ten were immersed in international developments in art, centred on Paris, London and subsequently New York. Despite their success, only Eduardo Paolozzi, a godfather of the pop art movement and Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, associated with the St Ives group, have attained significant profile in Scotland. This is something that this display, entirely drawn from Dundee’s nationally recognised art collection, will help redress. These Scottish artists transcen

Anicka Yi: Karmic Debt opens at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

HOUSTON, TX.— From animatronic sculptures that breathe and flicker like prehistoric lifeforms to generative software designed to carry on her practice after death, Anicka Yi approaches technology not as an instrument of control, but as a creative partner. Her concept of the “biologized machine” conjures hybrid beings that blur the boundaries between the organic and the synthetic—entities that feel both futuristic and deeply ancient. Drawing on deep-sea microbes, algorithmic avatars, and spiritual systems of thought, Yi reveals the invisible forces—biological, technological, and metaphysical that shape our shared and uncertain futures. Anicka Yi: Karmic Debt brings to Houston two complementary installations: a suite of five of her Radiolaria sculptures and the immersive video Each Branch Of Coral Holds Up the Light Of the Moon. Both installations dissolve boundaries between biology and technology, proposing new ways

National Gallery to stage first major UK exhibition on Spanish 17th-century artist Francisco de Zurbarán

LONDON.— The first major monographic exhibition in the UK devoted to Francisco de Zurbarán (1598–1664), will open at the National Gallery next spring (2 May – 23 August 2026). Along with Diego Velázquez (1599–1660) and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617–1682), Zurbarán was one of the leading painters of 17th-century Spain. His paintings, which include stunning life-size depictions of saints, soaring altarpieces and contemplative still lifes, are celebrated for their naturalism, directness and deep emotional power. This exhibition is the first dedicated presentation of the artist’s paintings at the National Gallery since 1994 when the series of 'Jacob and his Twelve Sons' from Auckland Castle was shown in the Sunley Room. Several works by Zurbarán also featured in The Sacred Made Real, an exhibition held in 2009–10. This exhibition of almost 50 paintings will span the chronological and iconographic breadth of the artist’s career.

Beck Lowry's debut solo at Yossi Milo explores hybrid forms and the art of imperfection

NEW YORK, NY.— Yossi Milo opened Beck Lowry’s first solo presentation with the gallery. The exhibition will be on view in the Qube through Friday, July 25, and is concurrent with solo exhibitions by J. Carino in the East Gallery and London Williams in the West Gallery. Beck Lowry’s (b. 1980; New Haven, CT) wall-hung sculptures combine carved, woven, and painted elements in experimental, process-driven forms. The artist navigates their hybrid approach through intuition, taking visual cues from the natural world and improvising on techniques drawn from a global canon of craft. Lowry’s multimedia practice hinges on its relationship to the body, becoming charged with meaning through almost-ritualistic physical exertion and the highly laborious nature of craftsmanship itself. Each of the artist’s painted weavings begins with a spine- or ladder-like armature, carved from plywood, that serves

Hauser & Wirth LA presents 'Yo Soy,' reimagining Luchita Hurtado's landmark 1974 feminist debut

LOS ANGELES, CA.— Over the course of her eight-decade career, Venezuelan-born, Los Angeles-based artist Luchita Hurtado (1920 – 2020) committed to a lifelong journey of personal and artistic evolution defined by ceaseless experimentation. The first exhibition devoted to the artist at Hauser & Wirth in Los Angeles, ‘Yo Soy’ (I Am) will bring together paintings and drawings from a pivotal moment in Hurtado’s career: Inspired by the surge of feminist activism in LA, the artist held her first solo exhibition at the Woman’s Building in February 1974, debuting her Linear Language series of expressive, geometric word paintings. A half century on, ‘Yo Soy’ revisits that landmark presentation and includes never-before-seen works from the series it introduced. Through her vibrant, abstract canvases—some cut up and meticulously resewn—visitors will be able to experience the depth of Hurtado’s exploration of pattern, mysticism, the earth and the cosmos. The 1970s we

ROSEGALLERY presents Jo Ann Callis's "Dish Trick," unveiling the silent power of everyday objects

SANTA MONICA, CA.— ROSEGALLERY is presenting Dish Trick, an exhibition of photographs by Jo Ann Callis. In this series, Callis offers a poetic and psychological exploration of everyday objects, inviting viewers to consider the silent power these forms hold in our lives. This exhibition is accompanied by Luhz Press’ release of their latest photography book, Jo Ann Callis: Dish Trick. Callis describes the work as a deconstruction of traditional still life. Rather than arranging elements into a static scene, she isolates and re-examines each one on its own terms. “I originally thought of taking a still life and taking it apart,” she says, “looking at each object individually.” The resulting compositions are drawn entirely from the artist’s imagination, guided by curiosity and emotion rather than logic. “These arrangements were in my mind, just as anyone might create associative combinations. I was just thinking, you have to build your own relations," she reflects. Callis s

Wael Shawky at Talbot Rice Gallery, University of Edinburgh

EDINBURGH.— Talbot Rice Gallery opened a solo exhibition of Egyptian artist Wael Shawky across its contemporary and neoclassical galleries. Wael Shawky’s penetrating film installations explore histories that have shaped our world. Intricately created sets and painted environments become host to exquisitely crafted and costumed characters, who perform versions of history connected to conflicts that continue to rage around us. Across Shawky’s Cabaret Crusades series and the recent Drama 1882 (created for the Egyptian Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024), Shawky reopens the narrative of the series of religious wars known as the Crusades, from an Arab perspective. He also highlights the events leading up to the British occupation of Egypt in 1882, destabilising any singular authority by embracing the irregular, subjective

Matt Bollinger's "Homecoming" debuts at François Ghebaly, unpacking rural American life

François Ghebaly is presenting Homecoming, the newest exhibition by Ithaca-based artist Matt Bollinger and his first time showing at the Downtown Los Angeles gallery. American artist Matt Bollinger creates vivid, layered tableaux that synthesize meticulous painterly technique with a unique, semi-fictional approach to narrative storytelling. In his portrayals of imagined rural Missourian communities (not far from the Ozarks of his upbringing) he combines partially-invented settings and characters with observational study, art historical reference, and personal recollection. Bollinger’s empathetic chronicles of the American working class are at once sensitive and shrewd, piercingly attuned to the perils of social and economic alienation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ In his latest exhibition, Homecoming, Bollinger draws from the ubiquitous small-town “homecoming” parade to explore ideas of cy

Helsinki School artists tackle climate change in Persons Projects' "The Art of Renewal"

Persons Projects opened its summer exhibition, The Art of Renewal, bringing together works by the three Helsinki School artists Nanna Hänninen, Ilkka Halso, and Sandra Kantanen—whose conceptual approach to their photographic based practices has engaged deeply with ecological concerns over the past two decades. Through their unique interventions, each artist seeks to symbolically restore nature to what has been lost due to climate change, human neglect and urban encroachment. By altering images of real landscapes, they draw attention to pressing environmental issues, both present and future, blurring the line between the real and the imaginary. Their works use paradoxical situations to emphasize the reality of ecological degradation – barren landscapes infused with color, nature artificially preserved within protective structures, and untamed urban meadows

This phenomenon, later diagnosed as Acquired Savant

Changwon Sculpture Biennale seeks Artistic Director for 2026 edition

Berlin, Paris, and Beyond at Kunsthalle Mannheim

Mario von Bucovich (1884–1947) was an internationally acclaimed photographer in the 1920s and 1930s. Despite his success at the time, his name gradually disappeared from public memory—a consequence not only of political and historical disruption, but also of his restless lifestyle. A true cosmopolitan, Bucovich’s path led him via Berlin and Paris to the Balearic Islands, London, the USA and finally to Mexico, where he died in 1947. Until his estate was rediscovered in a garage in Mexico City a few years ago, not even the date of his death was known and he was considered lost. Now his work is being honored for the first time in a comprehensive retrospective. In 1920s Berlin, Bucovich was deeply embedded in the media landscape of the Weimar Republic. Working as a portrait photographer, he developed a refined visual language that combined classical elegance

Appreciating in Dortmund: A three-day festival by Urbane Künste Ruhr

In the context of a planned monument dedicated to so-called guest workers, Urbane Künste Ruhr is organising a three-day festival in Dortmund, Germany. To emphasise the importance of a diverse culture of remembrance, we activate the Nordmarkt, a lively square whose neighbouring streets are associated with key experiences and memories for many Dortmund residents with transnational biographies. Many of the discussions around the selection of a sign of remembrance correspond to important questions posed by Urbane Künste Ruhr: Who owns the public space? Who speaks and is heard? Who is seen and who is overlooked? – While the monument in the city centre is a representative tribute to the achievements of the workers who came to the country, Urbane Künste Ruhr wants to celebrate the coexistence of people with and without a history of immigration
