Anna Uddenberg: HOME WRECKERS
Anna Uddenberg. Enough said!
Though her thought-provoking critique of the commodification and objectification of the female body in consumerist culture, her 'HOMEWRECKERS', her faceless and larger-than-life, grotesquely hypersexualized female figures, pointing us out just how crazy it is to sex up everything from couches to laundry detergents.
Fancy interiors, cozy furnishings with sofas and carpets…All settings that underscore the artificial and contrived associations between femininity and domesticity. Conjuring images of spaces one might find in homes, hotels, or staged reality TV environments, reinforcing their accessibility and familiarity.

Deborah Roberts: What about us?
Sarah Roberts' artistic journey has been a testament to her dedication and prowess. Her upcoming exhibition in New York is not only a significant milestone but also her third collaboration with the gallery. Known for her exceptional ability to depict Black children and adolescents, Roberts uses vibrant colors and striking patterns set against white or black backgrounds. Through collage, a medium with a rich history of challenging norms and conventions since the early twentieth century, her upcoming show will feature some of her largest works to date, Composing works using found materials sourced from the internet, literature, and photographs, and juxtaposing these with hand-painted details, Roberts deconstructs stereotypes perpetuated by mainstream visual culture. Combining a range of skin tones, facial features, hairstyles, and clothing, she presents an expansive, multidimensional view of Blackness.

'Time on my hands' a show by Mark Whalen
Casa Gilardi presented by SAENGER Galería.
In the heart of Mexico City, Mark Whalen presents his latest solo exhibition, aptly titled "Time on My Hands." This exhibition marks Whalen's inaugural solo show marked by the presence of his unique maquettes that come to life on expansive canvases filled with vibrant colors. The playfulness that defines Casa Gilardi, with its deep reds reminiscent of traditional Mexican sweets, the addition of a magenta wall by the swimming pool designed purely for pleasure, and the brightly painted walls meticulously smoothed to create the illusion of light, finds a harmonious reflection in Whalen's use of fluorescent hues, whimsical facial expressions, and dynamic body language within his works.

The latest Art Basel & UBS Survey of Global Collecting reveals a new balance of power in the art world — where women lead in spending, Gen Z embraces digital art, and collecting becomes as much about identity as investment.
From 12 October 2025 to 25 January 2026, Basel’s Fondation Beyeler goes full dot-mad with the first-ever Swiss solo exhibition of Yayoi Kusama. Spanning over 70 years of her prolific career, the show brings together 300+ works — from intimate 1950s watercolours to new, immersive Infinity Mirror Rooms created just for this occasion. Wander through hypnotic nets, mirrored environments, and dazzling sculptures as Kusama turns the museum (and its garden) into a universe of repetition, reflection, and sheer spectacle. Prepare to see yourself multiplied… infinitely.

From Seoul and Singapore to Doha and Abu Dhabi, the expansion of major art fairs signals more than just geographic curiosity—it represents a structural realignment of the global art economy. Asia is no longer a satellite orbiting Western capitals; it is fast becoming a gravitational centre in its own right.
