Philadelphia Museum welcomes Rocky statue with new exhibition | Daily Sabah

The Philadelphia Museum of Art is opening a new exhibition titled "Rising Up: Rocky and the Making of Monuments," which explores the cultural and artistic significance of the Rocky Balboa statue that sits at the museum's steps. Guest curator Paul Farber organized the show, which spans over 2,000 years of boxing imagery and includes works by Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Andy Warhol. The exhibition marks a shift in the museum's long-standing ambivalent relationship with the statue, which was originally placed on the steps during filming of the "Rocky" movies and later relocated before returning in 2006. After the exhibition closes in August, the statue will be permanently installed at the top of the museum's steps for the first time.

Self-portraits, Surrealism and sanitary pads: what to expect from Tate Modern's Frida Kahlo show

Tate Modern has announced details for its upcoming blockbuster exhibition "Frida: the Making of an Icon" (25 June–3 January 2027), featuring more than 30 works by Frida Kahlo alongside photographs and personal artefacts. Co-curator Tobias Ostrander revealed that the show highlights Kahlo's impact on women artists across Mexico, the Americas, and Europe from 1970 to today, including highly personal works reflecting her suffering after a miscarriage and her complex relationship with the United States. The exhibition includes paintings such as "My Dress Hangs There" (1933-38), "Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird" (1940), and "The Frame" (1938), and examines Kahlo's links to Surrealism following her 1939 Paris exhibition. The show also features portraits of contemporary artists who have imitated Kahlo, such as Tracey Emin and Yasumasa Morimura, and a final section on "Fridamania" exploring how her image dominates popular culture on toys, dolls, and even branded sanitary pads by Saba.

Penn Museum opens Native North America Gallery after two-year overhaul

The Penn Museum at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia will open its new 2,000-square-foot Native North America Gallery on Saturday, November 22, after two years of planning. The long-term exhibition replaces the 2014 show "Native American Voices: The People—Here and Now," which was curated by Lucy Fowler Williams with around 80 Native consultants but felt fragmented. This time, Williams and co-curator Megan C. Kassabaum worked closely with eight Native American curators—not just advisors—to determine the stories told. The gallery highlights moments of rupture, loss, and betrayal alongside resilience, and includes an empty vitrine to acknowledge repatriation efforts and culturally sensitive objects that tribes prefer not to display.
