Buenos Aires / DE VOLDER RETURNS..

One of the most distinctive artists of his generation within Argentina’s rich tradition of geometric abstraction, de Volder presents a solo exhibition at Palatina, on Arroyo Street — one of those exquisite corners of Buenos Aires where art and the city seem to meet naturally.

Based in New York for many years, his work has found its way into some of the most important Argentine and Latin American collections.

After a long absence from the Buenos Aires exhibition scene, his return is bound to be one of the season’s most anticipated art events.

Opening October 15.

Buenos Aires / MIGUEL DÁVILA · TERCER ORDEN

A 100 años de su nacimiento, Miguel Dávila vuelve a ocupar un lugar relevante en la escena del arte argentino.

Artista de provincia y de mundo a la vez, como lo definió Alberto Petrina, Dávila construyó una obra difícil de encasillar: entre lo reflexivo y lo existencial, entre estructura e intuición, entre la figura y la abstracción.

Raúl Santana habló de sus muros como un “inmenso texto a descifrar”. Rafael Squirru destacó su “sabio y ardiente manejo del color”.

Para Elena de Bertola, en la obra de Dávila confluyen dos fuerzas: un orden constructivo, ligado a la estructura y la conciencia, y un orden pulsional, vinculado al gesto, la intuición y el impulso. De ese encuentro surge un “tercer orden”.

Tercer Orden propone volver a mirar esa obra un siglo después de su nacimiento.

Y descubrir que todavía está viva.
La muestra “Miguel Dávila: Tercer orden” se realizará en la Casa Nacional del Bicentenario, Riobamba 985, en la ciudad de Buenos Aires.

* Inauguración: viernes 2 de octubre de 2026, a las 18 h
* Hasta: 27 de noviembre de 2026
* Entrada: gratuita
* Horario: miércoles a domingos, de 15 a 20 h
* Curaduría: Joaquín Rodríguez
* Reúne más de 100 obras y recorre seis décadas de producción de Dávila.

GEORGES ROUSSExARTExARTE
En Buenos Aires. ArtexArte presenta El espacio infinito, una exposición del reconocido fotógrafo francés Georges Rousse, curada por Marisa Sanabria Sequeiros.

La muestra reúne más de cuarenta años de trabajo del artista y explora su particular intervención de espacios abandonados mediante construcciones y figuras pintadas que solo adquieren su forma definitiva desde el punto de vista de la fotografía. Un universo de perspectivas, espejos, fragmentaciones y laberintos que establece un sugerente diálogo con la literatura de Jorge Luis Borges.

📍 ArtexArte — Lavalleja 1062, Buenos Aires
📅 Hasta el 7 de noviembre de 2026
🕐 Martes a viernes de 14 a 20 h | Sábados de 15 a 20 hs Entrada libre y gratuita.

ADIOS A CARLOS ALONSO (1929-2026) Su obra retrato’ el amor pero también la tragedia y la barbarie. A veces iro’nica, otras muchas mordaz y desafiante, su pintura fue un desborde de imaginacion y de calidad picto’rica. Carlos Alonso esta’ destinado a trascender como un grande entre los grandes del arte argentino. / De la serie “Mal de Amores” (1972) aguafuerte y aguatinta sobre paoel / De la serie de la “Divina Comedia” (1968) tinta y aguada sobre papel / Colección Art Democracy Buenos Aires

WHAT RICARDO ESTEVES SAW BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE

In 1995, Abaporu, Tarsila do Amaral’s masterpiece, appeared at a Christie’s auction in New York.

But the story had begun much earlier.

The owner of the painting, a stockbroker who had gone bankrupt, had tried to sell it in Brazil for six months. No one bought it. Eventually, Abaporu made its way to Christie’s.

Eduardo Costantini was there.

But he had not arrived alone. Years earlier, Ricardo Esteves — his friend, teacher and mentor — had taught him to look at Latin American art in a different way.

“I didn’t know Tarsila,” Costantini would recall years later. “I wouldn’t have bought it in a million years.”

Esteves, however, had seen what others still could not.

And he told him he had to buy it.

Costantini followed his advice and, after an intense bidding battle, acquired Abaporu for US$1.3 million.

The purchase caused a sensation in Brazil.

In time, that decision would become one of the foundational pieces of the collection that would give rise to MALBA.

Today, Abaporu is one of the great icons of Latin American art.

Ricardo Esteves had the vision.
Eduardo Costantini had the courage to follow it.

Sometimes, the history of art begins long before a work ever reaches an auction room. MALBA Eduardo Costantini

UNFORGETTABLES by Jorge Arévalo

As the world celebrates the passion and drama of the FIFA World Cup 2026, the greatest legends of football return—reimagined through the unmistakable vision of one of today’s most celebrated illustrators.

Jorge Arévalo distills the essence of the game’s most iconic figures into portraits of remarkable elegance, precision, and emotional depth. Internationally acclaimed, the Madrid-based illustrator has created work for The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Rolling Stone, and Esquire, while collaborating with leading global brands. His singular visual language has earned him a place in TASCHEN’s selection of the 100 Best Contemporary Illustrators.

This collection is both a tribute to football’s unforgettable heroes and a celebration of illustration at its highest level—where sport becomes art, and memory becomes timeless.

London / ANISH KAPOOR returns to Hayward Gallery, renewing a dialogue that has endured for more than four decades. Since his early exhibitions at the London gallery , Kapoor has continually challenged the boundaries between form, space and perception. Opening on 16 June, this major survey reaffirms a relationship that has become part of the gallery’s own history while offering a fresh perspective on one of the most influential sculptors of our time.

I think this would sit beautifully alongside the London billboard image you found. It gives readers a sense that the exhibition is not simply another retrospective, but the continuation of a long and significant relationship between Kapoor and the Hayward.
