Seattle Art Museum continues Alexander Calder exhibition series

The Seattle Art Museum (SAM) has announced a new exhibition, "Monochrome: Calder and Tara Donovan," as part of its ongoing Calder at SAM initiative. Opening May 13, 2026, and running through January 17, 2027, the show is co-curated by artist Tara Donovan and Catharina Manchanda, SAM's Jon and Mary Shirley Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. It explores how both Alexander Calder and Donovan use monochrome—particularly black—to examine materials, movement, and perception. Donovan's works from five series, including installations made from tar paper and Mylar, will be displayed alongside two of Calder's matte black pieces: the mobile "Jacaranda" (1949) and the stabile "Mountains" (1976).

menachem begin grandson avinadav art exhibition israel 1234753825

Avinadav Begin, grandson of former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, is currently exhibiting his latest abstract metal and steel works at Sheetrit & Wolf Contemporary Art Gallery in Tel Aviv. The pieces, which he describes as “openings, apertures,” are neither paintings nor sculptures but heavy hybrid forms weighing up to 220 pounds, resembling rubble and broken window frames. In interviews, Begin has emphasized his identity as an artist rather than a politician, distancing himself from the current Likud party leadership under Benjamin Netanyahu, while acknowledging the influence of the ongoing war and hostage crisis on his work.

Artist Allison Katz presents 'Outta the Bag,' her first solo exhibition with Hauser & Wirth in New York. The show features a diverse range of works that blend personal history, art-historical references, and linguistic wordplay, including her signature 'cock paintings' and motifs of mouths and architectural apertures. The exhibition serves as a homecoming for the Montreal-born, London-based artist, who spent her formative years in New York studying at Columbia University.
