🎨 Vik Muniz: Brushstrokes
🗓 May 14–Jun 20, 2026
📍 Sikkema Malloy Jenkins

Vik Muniz’s exhibition Brushstrokes at Sikkema Malloy Jenkins in New York presents a series of works recreating Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings using distinct strokes of paint — each one lit, photographed, cut out, and arranged into new compositions after Cézanne, van Gogh, Sorolla, and Vuillard. The process negotiates physical gesture and digital mediation to reconstruct the most fundamental unit of painting as both autonomous mark and part of a larger whole.

🎨 Katharina Fritsch
🗓 May 8–Jun 27, 2026
📍 Matthew Marks Gallery

Katharina Fritsch’s exhibition at Matthew Marks Gallery in New York presents five new large-scale sculptures, three of them based on models the artist originally made in 1979 as a student at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. Nearly fifty years later, a black car and white caravan, a dark green tunnel, and a red chimney return at monumental scale — arranged in the gallery so that together, viewed from above, they loosely form a human face.

📍 Galerie Lelong

Lucia Laguna’s exhibition at Galerie Lelong in New York is the Brazilian artist’s first solo show in the United States.

.mars at ✨

Fairchild, Director of .mars, shares Booth E12, a duo presentation of and Titled “Liminal Space,” the presentation explores the intersection of natural observation, domestic intimacy, and the fluid boundaries of materiality. Wolf’s rhythmic, graphic landscapes and Olšauskaitė’s vivid glass sculptures probe the threshold between the solid natural world and the liquid realm of human intimacy.

See it at NADA New York through Sunday, May 17 at the Starrett-Lehigh Building, West Chelsea.

🎨 Markus Brunetti: FACADES IV
🗓 Apr 30–Jun 20, 2026
📍 Yossi Milo Gallery

Markus Brunetti’s exhibition FACADES IV at Yossi Milo in New York is the artist’s fourth solo show with the gallery, continuing his twenty-year mission to document Europe’s foremost religious architecture. Working with his partner and collaborator Betty Schöner from a converted firetruck-turned-photo lab, Brunetti photographs prominent churches, monasteries, and cathedrals in Italy, France, and Spain — taking thousands of shots per structure and composing them into monumental, hyper-detailed images that exceed the possibilities of any single photograph.

🎨 Maria Calandra: Hancock Alameda
🗓 May 7–Jun 13, 2026
📍 Fredericks & Freiser

Maria Calandra’s exhibition Hancock Alameda at Fredericks & Freiser in New York presents new landscape paintings built from memory rather than direct observation. Referencing coastal paths, gardens, and mountain ranges across Maine, Northern California, and Brooklyn, Calandra compresses and reorganizes fragments of experience into continuous fields where sky, water, and vegetation circulate across the surface — landscapes that feel navigable but refuse a stable vantage point.

🎨 Kawayan de Guia: Excavations from the land of not so plenty
🗓 May 12–Jun 27, 2026
📍 Silverlens

Kawayan de Guia’s exhibition Excavations from the land of not so plenty at Silverlens in New York transforms the gallery into an operating theater of collision and collapse. Large-scale assemblage paintings layer printed ephemera, religious imagery, medical diagrams, state propaganda, and touristic brochures — fragments of Filipino visual culture that are re-cut, painted over, and set against one another until they begin to misbehave, revealing the fractures in otherwise seamless stories of progress and development.

at Art Fair 2026✨

Broc Blegen, Director of , shares Booth 505 — a solo presentation of Frank Gaard. One of Minnesota’s most important artists, Gaard brings his New York solo debut to Independent, showing the vibrant, satirical works he’s known for — drawn from art history, politics, pop culture, and personal obsession. From 1974 to 1994 he published the underground art magazine Artpolice, founded as a protest to the cultural repression of the Nixon era, mixing political commentary, absurdism, and Dadaist humor.

See it at Independent through May 17 at Pier 36, 299 South Street, New York.

🗓 Feb 21–Apr 4, 2026
