"Yoko Ono: Dream together at Neue Nationalgalerie is an exhibition featuring works from across Ono’s groundbreaking career. The exhibition invites viewers to move beyond passive observation and engage in active participation – both physically and mentally. Often beginning on an individual level, these actions evolve into broader collective efforts, demonstrating the transformative power of communal actions in working toward peace and imagining a different world."

Nicholas Serota, the former director of Tate, will co-curate a vast retrospective of works by the influential German artist Gerhard Richter this autumn at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris (17 October - 2 March 2026).

“[The Fondation] is honouring the artist with an exceptional retrospective, unmatched both in scale and in chronological scope, featuring 270 works stretching from 1962 to 2024,” says a statement. Works in a variety of media, from paintings to pencil and ink drawings, watercolours, and overpainted photographs, will go on show.

Kentridge’s explorations of the human self can result in multiple insights, and contradictions. Often in his video series multiple Kentridges or doppelgängers argue and disagree on ideas, methods and even memories. (These videos are influenced by his engagement with the world of theater, and at the Hauser & Wirth show they are displayed in a corner of the gallery emulating his studio.) Because the artist draws mostly with charcoal, the notions of erasure, overwriting and haziness in the paintings are heightened, making it plausible to debate and even dispute everything.

The wars and migrant crises currently roiling the world have given renewed poignancy to Ship of Tolerance (2005-present), an international art project to unite children created two decades ago by the late conceptualist artist Ilya Kabakov (who died in 2023) and his wife and creative partner Emilia Kabakov, who has carried on their work.

What happens when art crosses real borders — and people get punished for it ?
In How Shilpa Gupta Reinterprets Lines of Control, Mark Rappolt explores the artist’s haunting soundscapes, smuggled textiles, and bottled poems that speak to censorship, exile, and resistance.
This isn’t just art about borders — it’s art that challenges their very existence.
Visually striking and politically urgent, Gupta’s work asks: can belief survive repression ?

At 72 years old, an artist like Rosemarie Trockel could easily stop trying to make important work, and instead lazily recycle her oeuvre to secure her legacy and cash in on her reputation. The fact that she is crafting exhibitions that, in some ways, surpass those she presented decades ago is a testament to Trockel’s singularity as an artist. Her latest show is a two-part presentation, with works displayed concurrently at Gladstone and Sprüth Magers in New York. There is a wholesome, libidinal pleasure—like a coy-yet-deliberate flash—to be derived from looking at these works. At a time when large swathes of conceptual art assume a crystal clear moral stance and a didactic tone, Trockel plays a different game.

Image and Reflection is Gerhard Richter's fifth solo exhibition at Sies + Höke. Forty works in a wide range of media are on view, including paintings, glass objects, mirror pieces, and tapestries. The show focuses on the motif of mirroring as a central principle within Richter's oeuvre. The artist not only uses mirroring as a physical phenomenon, with reflecting glass surfaces and actual mirrors, but also as a pictorial strategy, by repeating and multiplying structures and colours, as in his Strip paintings.

Through Fairy Lights and Butterflies, Chiharu Shiota Tethers Presence and Absence. Inspired by Taoist philosophy, Shiota blurs the line between dream and reality. The artist installation at Beijing’s Red Brick Art Museum explores presence in absence. The butterfly wings, red threads, and ancient relics evoke cycles of life and time, inviting the public to meditate on connection, memory, and the spirit’s enduring essence.
