This year has been filled with massive retrospectives and museum opening. These five artists have quieter shows running into the new year, across Miami, London, Paris, Venice, New York and Los Angeles, and each one is worth going out of your way for. Two of them are having their first solo show at a US or French institution, and all five are at a moment where it pays to start paying attention now.

How many women artists can you name? It’s the question that has driven Katy Hessel’s work, from Katy Hessel to The Story of Art Without Men, the 2022 bestseller that won Waterstones Book of the Year. Now she’s written it for a new generation. “The Story of Art Without Men: An Illustrated Guide to Amazing Women Artists”, with illustrations by New York-based artist 朱平 , arrives in the US on 6 October from W. W. Norton.

Ahead of her family book talk at the Guggenheim New York on 10 October, we sat down with Katy to discuss new chapters, “Art Tasks” within the book, and her favorite spots in New York City to see art made by women.

In September 2026, Cultivist Members from around the world embarked on an Art Trip to Madrid. Part of this itinerary was a a visit to the home of Sophie Nuendorf Teba, Vice President at Artnet, and her husband Jaime Patiño, Count of Teba. Along the walls of their home, Old Masters from Jaime’s family collection hang alongside Modern and Contemporary works from Sophie’s collection, a preview of a conversation that turned out to be about exactly that kind of bridging.

As VP at Artnet , the company founded by her father, Neuendorf has spent over a decade helping collectors and institutions make sense of the market’s data. She’s also Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Neuendorf , teaches at both IE University and Bocconi, and with her brothers Henri and Albert, runs an artist residency out of her family’s home in Mallorca. We asked her to walk us through how all of that fits together, and where she still finds herself drawing the line between what the numbers can tell her and what only a room full of art can.

As Senior Curatorial Director at Hauser & Wirth - Art Gallery , Alexis Lowry has built a career on excavating underexamined corners of modern and contemporary art. Her latest project turns to Hans Arp.

“Arp. Heads or Tails” is the German-French modernist’s first New York exhibition in nearly fifteen years. The show takes Arp’s late Threshold sculptures as its starting point, tracing them back through the cut-out drawings and paper collages that first gave them shape decades earlier.

We caught up with Alexis to talk about chance, contingency, and what an artist known for curves and biomorphic forms has to contribute to modern conversations. Check out the full interview with the link in our bio! 🔗

Arp. Heads or Tails is on view through 17 October 2026 at Hauser & Wirth New York, 22nd Street.

It’s and this week, we’re throwing back to 2016 with Taryn Simon’s Performance/Installation “An Occupation of Loss” at the Park Ave Armory. This immersive performance was activated with professional mourners sharing their laments, a nod to the tension between authentic and staged emotions.

Tomorrow, Simon’s major exhibition “Father Country I Do Love You” takes over the Guggenheim’s rotunda. The survey follows the life of a real-unnamed Federal Agent through 42 individual artworks, uncovering the effects of the protagonist’s actions - and inactions.

“Taryn Simon: Father Country I Do Love You” is open 18 Sept - 14 Mar 2027 at the Guggenheim New York
