carmen de monteflores whitney biennial 2750535

At 92 years old, Puerto Rican artist Carmen De Monteflores has emerged as a breakout star of the 2026 Whitney Biennial. Her inclusion in the prestigious exhibition was facilitated by her daughter, renowned performance artist Andrea Fraser, who urged curators to view her mother's vibrant, shaped canvases that had been sitting in storage for decades. De Monteflores, who studied at the Art Students League and the École de Beaux-Arts, abandoned her painting career in 1969 due to the lack of opportunities for women, eventually becoming a psychologist and novelist.

art andrea fraser carmen de monteflores whitney biennial

Andrea Fraser and her 92-year-old mother, Carmen de Monteflores, are showing work side by side in the 2024 Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. This is Fraser's third time in the biennial, but de Monteflores's first museum exhibition after abandoning her art career in 1970 due to repeated rejections. Fraser presents five wax sculptures of toddlers, while de Monteflores shows exuberant, monumental shaped canvases of heads and bodies from the 1960s. The mother-daughter duo's participation came about after Fraser sent images of her mother's stored paintings to biennial co-curator Marcela Guerrero, leading to a joint invitation.

Renowned Mexican art collection to be managed by Spanish bank

Banco Santander announced on 21 January that it will manage 160 works from the Gelman Collection of 20th-century Mexican art, following a long-term agreement with the Zambrano family, which acquired the collection in 2023. The newly branded Gelman Santander Collection will debut this summer at Faro Santander, the bank's new venue in Cantabria, Spain. The collection, started by Russian-born film producer Jacques Gelman and his wife Natasha, includes major works by Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo, and others, but has been largely out of public view since 2008 amid inheritance disputes. The agreement is complicated by Mexican law, which designates many works as National Artistic Monuments, restricting their permanent export and requiring oversight by the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura (INBAL).

Wellesley College

The Davis Museum at Wellesley College presents "The Worlds of Ilse Bing," an exhibition featuring a recent gift of vintage photographs by groundbreaking photographer Ilse Bing (1899-1998). The show traces Bing's career across three cities—Frankfurt, Paris, and New York City—placing her work in dialogue with contemporaries who pushed the boundaries of modern art. Curated by Dr. Carrie Cushman, the exhibition explores Bing's role in mid-twentieth-century photographic developments, including the rise of the photo-essay, the 35-mm Leica camera, and experimental techniques like photograms and solarization.
