An ordinary summer Wednesday 🏖️👙🐚

Throughout history and across the world, artists have been drawn to the shoreline as a place of leisure and reflection, of action and exchange.

“Shorelines: Views from the Edge” at Hirschl Adler brings together works spanning 150 years, a testament to the enduring visual and meditative power of the boundary between land and water. From the coast of France to the tidal pools of Maine,and from the azure waters of Antigua to the bustling harbors of Southern California and New York, this exhibition invites you to consider the myriad ways that we shape our shorelines, and our shorelines shape us.

Artists on view include Cornelia Foss, Sanford Robinson Gifford, Leon Kroll, John Marin, Guy Pène du Bois, Tula Telfair, among others.

“Breaking Ground: A Transformative Project” at Talley Dunn Gallery is an exhibition that brings together artists Joel Shapiro, Ursula Von Rydingsvard, Christopher Wool, Elmgreen & Dragset, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, Joseph Havel, Ugo Rondinone, Giuseppe Penone, Leonardo Drew, and Roxy Paine, whose work has been permanently installed on the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center campus, reflecting the philanthropic support of an individual donor.

Featuring a carefully selected group of works, the exhibition creates a dialogue between public installations and a range of sculptures, drawings, paintings, and mixed-media works, revealing the ideas, processes, and material investigations that inform each artist’s practice.

By bringing these works into the gallery, the exhibition invites closer consideration of their formal, material, and conceptual concerns and offers a new perspective on works typically encountered in public space.

The exhibition is on view through August 29!

Here's your daily dose of cuteness 🐈💖

Joseph Jones creates exquisitely rendered, emotionally charged paintings that examine contemporary culture and its evolving relationship to images. Jones’s animals are painted with both precision and feeling—each a composite drawn from the artist’s vast personal archive of thousands of images sourced from the internet, books, newspapers, and other media.

Happy International Cat Day!

New issue, new insights: catch up with our latest newsletter and Q&A features 💌

For more than seven decades, Betye Saar transformed the discarded into the extraordinary, turning everyday objects into powerful meditations on memory, history, and liberation. When she passed away on July 26, just four days before her 100th birthday, she left behind one of the most influential bodies of work in contemporary American art.

Julie Roberts, Co-Owner of Roberts Projects, discusses the discoveries within Saar’s archive, how this overlooked period reshapes our understanding of the artist’s career, and how the exhibition sets the stage for the gallery’s presentation at the 2026 ADAA Fair.

Q: With the exhibition taking place during Saar’s centennial year, how did you balance celebrating her remarkable legacy with introducing visitors to a chapter of her career that remains less familiar?
JR: “Let’s Get It On: The Wearable Art of Betye Saar” has been years in the making, and Saar’s centennial felt like the perfect moment to highlight this crucial time in her career. Though it remains one of the least explored chapters of her practice, it proved to be incredibly influential. The exhibition draws on more than a decade of archival research and digitization undertaken by the gallery, along with Saar's own remarkable memory.

Explore the iconic work and lasting impact of the Guerrilla Girls 🦍💖

2025 ADAA Foundation grantee, the Neuberger Museum of Art, is showcasing “Guerrilla Girls: Food for Thought”, on view through August 2.

Curated by Curatorial Assistant Rebecca Elisabeta Marya (Rem) Ribeiro, with the assistance of three fall 2024 curatorial interns, the exhibition features works from “Guerrilla Girls Portfolio Compleat: 1985–2012,” speaking to their first five formative years of practice, and contemporary works from the collective’s most recent five years.

Tracing the collective’s evolution from their earliest interventions to more recent projects, the exhibition highlights the Girls’ iconic beginnings and examines their earliest concerns with the art world in relation to ongoing conversations about representation, equity, and institutional accountability—revealing not only what has changed over the past four decades, but also where meaningful progress remains to be made.

Don’t miss it!
