Discover the quietly affecting artworks of Poppy Jones, a fashion-world favourite

Poppy Jones, a British artist known for her quietly affecting works on textiles like suede and silk, has opened her first institutional solo exhibition, 'Frozen Sun', at Towner Eastbourne (until 31 May 2026). The show follows her 2024 presentation 'Solid Objects' at Herald St gallery in London and a sold-out monograph with Zolo Press in 2025. Jones, who was commissioned by Bottega Veneta's Louise Trotter for two works that became the house's A/W 2026 show invitation, creates intimate pieces featuring eggs, flowers, glasses of water, and vintage apparel details, often framed in sleek aluminium. Her practice, which blends photography, lithography, and watercolour, was shaped by the birth of her first child in 2019 and the Covid-19 lockdowns, leading her to focus on domestic subjects and small-scale works.

Watching the Great Form Shatter

Der großen Form beim Zerbrechen zuschauen

Marc Brandenburg, a Berlin-based artist born in 1965, is the subject of a comprehensive survey exhibition titled "20th Century Debris" at the Berlinische Galerie. The show presents his meticulous pencil drawings on paper, which invert light and dark and are viewed under blacklight to create ghostly, dissolving images. Brandenburg's works fragment urban spaces, faces, and everyday objects into shimmering, unstable forms, drawing on photography and photocopying to produce a sense of eerie stillness and motion. The exhibition also includes his first films, tracing his stylistic evolution from early 1990s fragmented portraits to large-scale panoramic works with metallic surfaces.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has unveiled the new Condé M. Nast Galleries, a nearly 12,000-square-foot suite of exhibition spaces designed by Brooklyn-based architecture firm Peterson Rich Office.
