Frieze has announced plans to launch a new art fair in Abu Dhabi in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism, converting the existing Abu Dhabi Art into a Frieze-branded franchise by 2026. This follows a previously reported but unrealized deal between Abu Dhabi and Art Basel, which instead chose to launch a fair in Qatar. Meanwhile, a new London art space called Ibraaz, funded by Swiss Tunisian banker Kamel Lazaar and focused on global majority arts, will open October 15. Gagosian also announced Jeff Koons's return to the gallery with a solo show titled "Porcelain Series." Additionally, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation is selling the artist's Florida compound due to hurricane damage, and Pepperdine University closed an exhibition early after artists withdrew works over alleged political censorship.

Robert Rauschenberg at 100: How the Relentless Experimenter Rewired American Art

A global celebration marks the centennial of Robert Rauschenberg's birth on October 22, 1925, with a bumper program of exhibitions at major museums including the Museum of the City of New York, the Guggenheim in New York, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Des Moines Art Center, the Menil in Houston, Museum Ludwig in Cologne, and M+ in Hong Kong. The article highlights eight key facts about Rauschenberg's life and career, from his early use of the G.I. Bill to study art in Paris and at Black Mountain College, to his rebellion against teacher Josef Albers, and his invention of the "Combines"—radical painting-sculpture hybrids that broke with Abstract Expressionism and predicted Pop Art.

Lillian Blades' first solo exhibition sparkles and shines at Sarasota Art Museum

Lillian Blades' first solo exhibition, "Through the Veil," is on view at the Sarasota Art Museum (SAM) through October 26. The Bahamian-born artist presents large, quilt-like mixed-media installations made from found objects such as toys, jewelry, utensils, and mirrors, wired together and hung from PVC piping. Her work is displayed on the museum's third floor, while a concurrent exhibition of Gee's Bend quilts occupies the second floor, creating a thematic dialogue between the two shows.
