Salone del Mobile will open a fashion and design exhibition curated by Palomba Serafini Associati.
At Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026, running April 21–26, the exhibition “Abito” (Italian for “dress”), curated by Milan-based studio Palomba Serafini Associati, will explore the evolving relationship between women and evolving role in society, alongside fashion and design. The exhibition—which included photos taken by Palomba Serafini cofounder Roberto Palomba—outlines the connection between clothing and culture, and how it has developed in tandem with living spaces. Following its premiere at Salone—within the Fiera Milano Rho exhibition grounds‚ “Abito” will likely travel to other cities.
An Artemisia Gentileschi painting will head to auction—without its face.
A rare fragment of a Mary Magdalene painting attributed to Artemisia Gentileschi is heading to auction at Vienna’s Dorotheum, highlighting an unusual survival story of a damaged Old Master work. The canvas—once part of a larger composition and likely cut down during wartime upheaval in Berlin, with the figure’s head removed—was later rediscovered in a private collection and restored.
Identified as an autograph replica related to a version in Florence, the fragment underscores both the continued market interest in Gentileschi and the complex histories of artworks shaped by war, loss, and reconstruction.
Toronto has completed one of the largest North American underground rail lines in decades.
Toronto’s 19-kilometre Line 5 Eglinton LRT, which opened in February after delays, features 25 stations—15 underground—designed by Arcadis, AtkinsRéalis, and collaborating studios to serve a growing midtown corridor. The underground stations are organized into three typologies—corner, embedded, and pavilion—allowing them to integrate into surrounding infrastructure. Despite varied functions, the system maintains a cohesive architectural identity, with light-filled interiors by day and illuminated, beacon-like stations at night, reinforcing both usability and urban presence.
