Pace is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by Friedrich Kunath at its 510 West 25th Street gallery in New York. On view from November 7 to December 20, this will be the artist’s first solo show in the city since 2019 and his debut presentation with the gallery, which began representing him in May 2025. The exhibition will coincide with the release of a new monograph from Monacelli tracing Kunath’s work from the last 30 years. This publication, which features a new essay by Naomi Fry, staff writer at The New Yorker, will be available to purchase on-site at the gallery during the run of the show.
In the autumn of 2025, the Fondation Beyeler will be the first museum in Switzerland to devote a retrospective to renowned Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (*1929, Matsumoto). Organised in close collaboration with the artist and her studio, the exhibition will offer a complete overview of Kusama’s more than seven-decade career. Alongside some of her most iconic artworks, the exhibition will feature early works never seen in Europe before as well as new productions and one of the artist’s celebrated Infinity Mirror Rooms. The artist, one of contemporary art’s superstars, has achieved cult status with her exploration of repetitive patterns and structures, notably her characteristic polka dots and mirror rooms, which carry viewers away into worlds that seem to expand without limits. The exhibition will highlight the wealth of artistic media Kusama has worked with over the years, among them painting, sculpture, installations, drawing, collage, happenings, live performances, fashion and literature.
The last prints produced by Richard Serra, the result of more than forty years of collaboration with the Gemini G.E.L. workshop in Los Angeles, embody the culmination of long periods of research and experimentation in printmaking through a radical and singular practice that has profoundly shaped the history of contemporary print. For more than 35 years, Galerie Lelong has regularly presented Serra’s work.
Two series are brought together in this new exhibition: “Notebook Drawings” (2023) and “Hitchcock” (2024).
The universe of Swiss painter Nicolas Party comes alive in his first solo exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in London. Featuring new treescapes and portraits in pastel, this exhibition celebrates and challenges longstanding and cherished conventions of representational painting through Party’s signature style. The portraits in the exhibition, inspired by two sculptural works by Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin, serve as a conceptual springboard to also frame the group of treescapes on view. Party utilizes the symbolism and mythological references present in these sculptures to confront the inevitability of aging and death, two themes that have long been central to his artistic exploration. Known for his unique use of soft pastel, the artist has become a master of the medium, employing the pigment’s versatility, immediacy and saturated color.
From October 17, 2025 to March 2, 2026, the Fondation presents a major retrospective of works by Gerhard Richter—one of the most influential contemporary artists—born in Dresden in 1932. He fled East Germany for Düsseldorf in 1961 before settling in Cologne, where he currently lives and works. Continuing its tradition of landmark monographic exhibitions devoted to leading figures of 20th and 21st-century art — including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Joan Mitchell, Mark Rothko, and David Hockney — the Fondation dedicates all its galleries to Gerhard Richter, widely regarded as one of the most important and internationally celebrated artists of his generation.
The Buchmann Galerie is pleased to announce the exhibition Horizons by Bettina Pousttchi. The presentation brings together new photographic works on canvas from the eponymous series Horizons, as well as new polychrome sculptures made of ceramic and steel. The point of departure for all three groups of works is, in different ways, the urban experience of Berlin.
Coinciding with the exhibition at the gallery is the inauguration of the six-meter-high sculpture Vertical Highways V02 by Bettina Pousttchi in front of the Istanbul Modern as part of the museum collection.
The works of Tàpies, Miró, Saura or Chillida do not constitute a style, but an attitude: gesture as memory, texture as an archive of pain and form as an anticipation of what has not yet been possible. In this context, abstraction is not evasion, but political inscription; it is not amnesia, but latent power.
This exhibition traces a geography of resistance that does not just look back, but raises questions about the capacity of art to build more just futures, from a past that still festeres. It is an invitation to inhabit the gap between wound and hope.
