Tate Britain will explore ‘90s art and fashion in an exhibition curated by Edward Enninful.
Tate Britain will stage “The 90s: Art and Fashion” in autumn 2026, guest curated by Edward Enninful, bringing together nearly 70 artists, designers, and photographers to examine how the decade reshaped British cultural identity through art, fashion, and social commentary. Featuring figures such as Steve McQueen, Damien Hirst, Alexander McQueen, and Vivienne Westwood, the exhibition highlights the era’s DIY “anti-fashion” aesthetic, blurred boundaries between high and low culture, and key works addressing themes of identity, race, class, and representation.
Gagosian opened a new ground-floor flagship at 980 Madison Avenue.
Gagosian has opened a new ground-floor flagship gallery at 980 Madison Avenue in New York, replacing the institution’s longtime sixth-floor space—after 37 years. Designed by Caplan Colaku Architecture as a 2,275-square-foot, museum-quality environment formed from multiple combined retail spaces, the gallery emphasizes flexibility, subdued materials, and a more intimate, “poetic” viewing experience amid Madison Avenue’s retail context. The new space inaugurates this next chapter with exhibitions of Marcel Duchamp (alongside works by Robert Rauschenberg), signaling both a historical grounding and a strategic repositioning of the gallery within New York’s art and real estate landscape.
A 17th-century ‘supercomputer’ may set an auction record.
A rare 17th-century Mughal astrolabe, described as a premodern “supercomputer,” is heading to Sotheby’s London with an estimate of £1.5–2.5 million. Made in Lahore in 1612 by master craftsmen Qa’im Muhammad and Muhammad Muqim for Mughal nobleman Aqa Afzal, the unusually large brass device—once owned by the Jaipur royal family—can calculate time, map stars, determine latitude, and perform complex astronomical and trigonometric functions. Combining scientific precision with intricate calligraphy and cross-cultural influences, the piece exemplifies the Mughal Empire’s advanced knowledge systems and the Lahore School’s fusion of Islamic and Sanskritic traditions.

Art publisher Michael McKenzie owes $102.2 million in damages for Robert Indiana works.
A Manhattan federal jury has ordered art publisher Michael McKenzie to pay $102.2 million in damages to the Morgan Art Foundation after finding he produced and sold unauthorized works by Pop artist Robert Indiana, including versions of his iconic “LOVE” motif. The ruling marks a major development in a years-long legal battle—dating back to just before Indiana’s death in 2018—centered on allegations of fraud, copyright infringement, and exploitation during the artist’s final years. The verdict is expected to help restore confidence in Indiana’s market and legacy, which had been clouded by disputes over authenticity and ownership of his late works.
