Marianne, who left a career in international aviation finance law to open her gallery in 2015, continues her family's focus on Impressionist and Modern art while also working with contemporary artists and pursuing restitution of artworks looted by the Nazis during World War II.

Francis Picabia: Against Bad Breath and Cathedrals of Shit

ArtReview examines the enduring relevance of Francis Picabia through the exhibition "Francis Picabia: Expanding Horizons" at Hauser & Wirth in London. The show presents a five-decade, 32-work mini-retrospective of Picabia's painting and drawing, spanning from an untitled impressionist landscape (1902) to his late Dada-themed works.

Come together: how London galleries are making it work in the capital

London’s gallery sector is undergoing a reset as a slower market, rising operating costs, and changing collector behavior challenge dealers of all sizes. Despite high-profile closures, around two dozen new galleries have opened in the past few years, and many are experimenting with new business models. London Gallery Weekend (LGW) returns this month (5–7 June), highlighting a shift away from art fairs toward a renewed focus on exhibitions. New galleries like Pale Horse Gallery in Marylebone and Edel Assanti’s second space in St James’s prioritize in-gallery programming, while others like Elizabeth Xi Bauer are expanding into studios and residency programs to offer artists more infrastructure.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art is opening a special display, "Van Gogh’s Sunflowers: A Symphony in Blue and Yellow" (June 6–October 11), that brings together two of Van Gogh's iconic Sunflowers paintings: the Philadelphia museum's own version (January 1889) and a rare loan of London's National Gallery's version with a yellow background (August 1888). This marks the first time the London painting has crossed the Atlantic, and only its fifth loan abroad since 1924.

How Gedi Sibony Makes a Show, By Transforming Street Finds Into Magical ‘Frozen Moments’

Gedi Sibony's latest exhibition, "The Invisible Point," opened at Greene Naftali in New York, marking his eighth solo show at the gallery since 2008. The show features his signature assemblage sculptures crafted from street finds and discarded materials—including wooden bookshelves from trash dumps, broken plant stands, wire scraps, and a broomstick—alongside restrained, barely-there paintings. The press release, just four sentences long, describes his process as "powered by an intuitive momentum" and the works as "objects drafted from remnants and castoffs." Sibony's practice extends a tradition from Cubist collage through artists like Louise Nevelson, Robert Rauschenberg, and Richard Tuttle.

Léon Tutundjian, l’avant-gardiste oublié enfin remis en lumière à Grenoble

The Musée de Grenoble has mounted the first-ever retrospective of Léon Tutundjian, an Armenian-born avant-garde artist who was active in Paris from the 1920s onward.

The exhibition brings together his rare works—including collages, drawings, gouaches, and the sculptural "reliefs" for which he is best known—and aims to restore his place in the narrative of 20th-century modernism.

Curated by Stephanie D’Alessandro, the show includes pieces by Max Beckmann, Wifredo Lam, Pablo Picasso, and Joan Miró, among others, exploring how portraits can be rooted in memory, myth, and abstraction rather than mere physical likeness.

Lanza Atelier, a Mexico City-based studio founded by Isabel Abascal and Alessandro Arienzo, has designed the 2025 Serpentine Pavilion in London's Kensington Gardens. The pavilion features a 'crinkle-crankle' wall—a wavy, single-brick-thick structure historically used in rural Suffolk and introduced by Dutch engineers in the 17th century. The design reinterprets this form as a gathering space, with a flat glass roof, steel grid, and fixed louvres, alluding to the Serpentine pond and existing tree canopies.
