There are few artists whose names have become so closely associated with light that it is easy to forget just how radical their vision once was. Claude Monet did not simply paint landscapes, gardens or water lilies. He painted the passage of time itself. That idea will take centre stage in Paris this autumn with Monet, Painting Time, opening at the Musée de l’Orangerie on 30 September 2026 and running until 25 January 2027. The exhibition has an especially powerful significan

Every September, Berlin changes its rhythm. Galleries open new exhibitions, museums unveil major projects, private collections welcome visitors and artists take over spaces across the city. From 9 to 13 September 2026, this energy will culminate in the fifteenth edition of Berlin Art Week, turning the German capital into one of Europe's most important destinations for contemporary art. This year, the programme brings together around 120 museums, private collections, galleries

There are artists who paint history, and there are artists who seem to carry it with them. Anselm Kiefer belongs to the second category. His work is monumental, unsettling and profoundly physical, but beneath its scale and darkness lies an extraordinary meditation on memory, knowledge, mythology and the possibility of renewal. Born in Germany in 1945, at the end of the Second World War, Kiefer grew up in the shadow of a history that his country was still struggling to confron

There are artists who follow the history of art, and there are artists who deliberately turn it upside down. Georg Baselitz belongs to the second category. Until 13 September 2026, Florence's Museo Novecento presents Georg Baselitz. AVANTI!, a major exhibition dedicated to one of the most radical figures of post-war European art. Bringing together around 170 works across prints, paintings and sculptures, the exhibition spans more than six decades of artistic research and offe

Seoul is no longer simply a city to watch. It has become one of the places where the international art world is actively taking shape. From 2 to 5 September 2026, collectors, galleries, artists and institutions from around the world will gather at COEX for the fifth edition of Frieze Seoul, an appointment that has rapidly established itself as one of the most important moments in the Asian art calendar. This year, more than 125 galleries from 30 countries will take part, with

There are artists whose work belongs to their time, and artists who seem to exist slightly outside of it. Georg Baselitz was one of them. His paintings never sought to reassure the viewer. They challenged, disturbed and demanded attention, turning the familiar into something strange and forcing us to reconsider what painting could be. The German artist, who died in April 2026 at the age of 88, left behind one of the most radical and influential bodies of work of the post-war

There are galleries that exhibit art, and then there are galleries that seem to shape the way the art world itself moves. Gagosian is undoubtedly one of them. Founded by Larry Gagosian in Los Angeles in 1980, the gallery began with a single space and gradually developed into one of the most influential forces in international contemporary art. Today, its presence stretches across major cultural capitals, from New York and Los Angeles to London, Paris, Rome and Athens. Yet Gag

September marks the return of the international art season. From Berlin to Paris and London, museums and galleries reopen with ambitious exhibitions, major artists and new projects. For collectors and art lovers, these are five exhibitions worth putting on the calendar. 01 — Maurizio Cattelan: NIGHT Neue Nationalgalerie — Berlin10 September 2026 – 7 March 2027 One of the most anticipated exhibitions of the autumn. Maurizio Cattelan takes over Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie wit

Collecting contemporary art today means much more than acquiring exceptional works. The most influential private collections have become cultural institutions, research platforms and, in many cases, powerful forces capable of shaping both the market and the history of art. Behind each great collection is a particular way of seeing the world, a philosophy that reveals as much about the collector as it does about the artists they chose to support. Among the most influential is

The next generation of contemporary artists is already reshaping the international art scene. From psychologically charged figurative painting to experimental approaches to abstraction, these five artists are building distinctive practices while attracting the attention of major galleries, institutions and collectors. 01 — Eva Helene Pade Born in 1997 in Denmark and now based between Paris and London, Eva Helene Pade has quickly emerged as one of the most intriguing young pai
