Jeddah Tower hits a new height milestone after years-long delay.
Jeddah Tower has surpassed 430 meters (1,411 feet) after completing its 107th floor, according to a social media post from Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, putting the megatall skyscraper at roughly 43 percent structural progress. The project is once again on track to become the world’s tallest building by a wide margin over the Burj Khalifa, and to break the one-kilometer mark. John Peronto, managing principal at Thornton Tomasetti and the project’s manager, told Newsweek the team is pushing “very aggressively” toward the tower’s upper observation level near the 160th floor, known as the “sky terrace,” which he said is roughly 60 weeks away. Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture designed the tower, with Thornton Tomasetti serving as engineering partner. Construction had been stalled for nearly seven years before resuming.
Fotografiska Berlin showcases a retrospective on photographer Thomas Billhardt.
Fotografiska Berlin has opened an exhibition dedicated to Thomas Billhardt, the East German photographer who died in 2025, spanning his most significant work from the late 1950s through the early 1970s. Billhardt trained under his mother, a portrait photographer, before studying at the Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts. His 1957 thesis project on Berlin’s Alexanderplatz began a lifelong engagement with the city, which he documented through decades of political upheaval, from the 1953 workers’ uprising to the fall of the Berlin Wall. As a freelance photojournalist, he traveled to 49 countries, most notably Vietnam, where he made six trips between 1962 and 1975 and continued documenting the country’s people until 2020. Billhardt said he was drawn less to the politicians he photographed on state visits than to the social stories around them. His work has drawn comparisons to documentary photographers including Don McCullin, James Nachtwey, and Joel Meyerowitz. After 1989, he photographed UNICEF aid projects across Asia, extending his documentary practice beyond Berlin and Vietnam.
Penhaligon’s “Who’s Who of London” exhibition opens in Shanghai.
Penhaligon’s has opened a “Who’s Who of London” exhibition in Shanghai to mark the 10-year anniversary of its Portrait fragrance collection, the Puig-owned brand’s most popular line in the Chinese market. Housed inside Zhang Yuan, a century-old Shikumen landmark, the exhibition transforms the building with a façade in the brand’s signature green and a garden styled after the British countryside. The exhibition also introduces The Manoeuvres of the Baroness, a new fragrance built around a creamy floral composition with a woody base. Julia Koeppen, global general manager at Penhaligon’s, said the Shanghai show reflects a shift toward more playful storytelling after last year’s heritage-focused “Eau So British” exhibition, which also debuted in the city. She added that Penhaligon’s plans to expand into home fragrance and body care, deepen its distribution in China, and pursue further artist collaborations. The exhibition runs through August 23.
Gagosian pulls out of Basel and London’s Burlington Arcade.
Gagosian will close its only Basel gallery and has already vacated its Burlington Arcade location in London. A spokesperson said the gallery is searching for a new Basel space, while the London closure is permanent; both locations have already been removed from Gagosian’s website. Both spaces began as pop-ups. The Basel gallery opened at Rheinsprung 1 in 2019 alongside Art Basel’s flagship fair and hosted seventeen exhibitions, most recently a group show timed to this year’s fair. The Burlington Arcade venture launched in 2023 as a two-story space combining a retail shop with 16 exhibitions upstairs, closing its final show, on Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s site-specific projects, on July 18. Gagosian agreed to vacate the arcade to make way for a long-term tenant, possibly Fabergé. The gallery will continue operating its other Mayfair locations at 20 Grosvenor Hill and 17–19 Davies Street. The closures come as galleries worldwide scale back amid a market unsettled by tariffs, geopolitical tension, and shifting buyer habits.
