Atlanta, “Viktor&Rolf. Fashion Statements” (Until Feb. 8, 2026)
When Dutch designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren first started out in the early ’90s, they were shunned by the fashion industry. Their avant-garde looks and outrageous silhouettes broke all of its conventional rules and controversially crossed haute couture and art. But, over the last thirty years, they’ve become respected for their unorthodox concepts, like sending models with huge doll heads or with pillows in their hair down the runway. This is their first retrospective, showcasing over 100 of their most daring and exciting looks. high.org
New York, “Jacques Jarrige” (Opens Oct. 15)
In a world where your attention is competed over from every direction, the sculptures and designs of French sculptor Jacques Jarrige are refreshingly humble in their simplicity. Like, for example, hand-hammered aluminum sculptures that look like thin silver ribbons twisting in the air. He calls these “drawings in space,” and translates the same poetry into wooden tables and chairs. In 2010, Valerie Goodman introduced the U.S. to Jarrige’s work. Now, fifteen years later, this show showcases 15 new pieces of sculpture, furniture, and lighting. valeriegoodmangallery.com
Paris, “Christopher Le Brun: Moon Rising in Daylight” (Opens Oct. 18)
Christopher Le Brun began his career in the ’80s, painting hazy scenes featuring horses, knights, and lush trees. But, over the last four decades, these shapes have slowly faded from his work as his method has transformed into something akin to automatic writing. “From the drama of the image in my earlier work,” he explains, “I’ve switched to this other drama where the image is erased or obscured.” In the works on show here, one can make out the colors of a sunrise. alminerech.com
London, “Peter Doig: House of Music” (Until Feb. 8, 2026)
Born in Scotland in 1959, Peter Doig moved frequently throughout his childhood, following his father’s shipping job to Trinidad, Canada, and Britain. The landscapes of these places inspire much of his most famous paintings, and are frequently the angle from which his work is interpreted. But for this show, Doig, who always listens to music while he paints, explores this other side of his work. “Music has often influenced my paintings,” he says. “I’ve tried over the years to make paintings that are imagistic and atmospheric in the way music can be.” He’s selected 22 works from the last twenty years to be presented with a soundtrack from the 300 albums in his vinyl collection playing from huge 1950s speakers. serpentinegalleries.org
Vienna, “Marina Abramović” (Until March 1, 2026)
For the past 50 years, Marina Abramović has placed herself in emotionally distressing and physically dangerous situations for the sake of investigating human nature. She was born in 1946 in Belgrade, then socialist Yugoslavia, into a strict household governed by extreme discipline. It seems that her early work Rhythm 0 (1974), a six-hour performance where the audience was free to treat her however they liked while she remained unmoving (in which someone held a loaded gun to her head), began to employ that childhood discipline to expose how quickly power produces cruelty. This retrospective in Vienna, where she first performed in 1978, restages Abramović’s famed performances. albertina.at
