Six Must-Visit Gallery Exhibitions This Fall

Asian Art in London: Japanese Bronze Flower Vessels 
Tomasso, London (UK) & Michael Goedhuis, London (UK) 
On view through November 6, 2025

Presented collaboratively by Tomasso and Michael Goedhuis, Asian Art in London: Japanese Bronze Flower Vessels offers a contemplative journey through two centuries of Japanese bronze artistry. 

From Chinese influence, where spiritual form yields to aesthetic pleasure and ritual vessels become works of decorative art, the exhibition’s narrative unfolds through the refined traditions of ikebana—the art of Japanese flower arrangement—and the tea ceremony. Tracing centuries-long cultural dialogue—from the Kamakura to the Edo period—between China and Japan, Asian Art in London: Japanese Bronze Flower Vessels reveals how bronze artisans transformed foreign influence into a unique national aesthetic. 

Àkùko, Eiyéle and Ekodidé – A Flock by Alberto Pitta 
Nara Roesler, Saõ Paulo (Brazil) 
On view through December 20, 2025 

Àkùko, Eiyéle and Ekodidé – A Flock by Alberto Pitta marks Alberto Pitta’s first solo exhibition at Nara Roesler. The exhibition offers an expansive view of the artist’s visual language, shaped by decades of engagement with Afro-Brazilian cultural expressions.  

The exhibition brings together 24 new works alongside a selection of paintings and screen prints from recent years, as well as a sculptural wooden coffee cart—an inspiration from the colorful street vendor carts used to sell coffee in Salvador. Through chromatic intensity and rhythmic compositions, Pitta revisits the symbolic universe of the west African Yoruba tradition, where birds embody protection, guidance, and vitality. The three avians—Àkùko, Eiyéle, and Ekodidé—are placed at the core of the exhibition, highlighting how their flight across the colored canvases invokes collective energy and renewal, forming a metaphorical “flock” that reimagines community as an act of resistance and hope. In Pitta’s practice, color becomes both a ritual and a statement of visual continuity that bridges the festive pulse of Salvador’s carnival with politics of spiritual liberation within the community. 

Urs Fischer: Shucks & Aww 
Salon 94 Design, New York (US)  
On view through December 20, 2025 

Shucks & Aww at Salon 94 Design is Urs Fischer’s foray into design. Known for his restless experimentation across sculpture, installation, and image production, the Swiss-born, Los Angeles–based artist expands his practice into a new field where function meets absurdity, approaching furniture and domestic objects with the same mischievous intelligence that animates his art. 

The artist debuts a series of functional objects that blur the line between the utilitarian and the uncanny, transforming the everyday through craftsmanship rooted in carpentry and stage design. Across the exhibition, mirrors are scattered both as objects and metaphors, reflecting the viewers and their own complicity in finding poetry in the ordinary. In this hybrid terrain, Fischer collapses oppositions between object and image, permanence and play, and logic and fantasy. Shucks & Aww demonstrates the artist’s ability to present and re-present the everyday, transforming the ordinary into extraordinary and revealing to the visitor how to view the commonplace through new perspectives.

Immarcescible Limoges Renaissance Enamels and their Collectors  
Galerie Kugel, Paris (France) 
On view through December 20, 2025 

Galerie Kugel presents Immarcescible: Renaissance Limoges Enamels and Their Collectors, an exhibition that celebrates the artistic mastery of Renaissance Limoges enamels and the devoted connoisseurship that has preserved these luminous works throughout time.  

Displaying more than 70 enamels from 1520 to 1620—many on view for the first time—this exhibition brings into focus what the French art critic and poet Théophile Gautier once called “the immarcescible enamel,” a vitrified material whose gleam resists the passing of centuries. During this period, artisans from Limoges, France, perfected the technique of painting on copper, transforming powdered glass and pigment into radiant, vitrified surfaces resistant to light, air, or age. The works on display recall a lineage of collectors whose passion reignited appreciation for Limoges enamels, from Hubert de Givenchy and Pierre Bergé to the Rothschilds, J. P. Morgan, and Henry Clay Frick. More than a display of Renaissance artistry, the exhibition considers timelessness both in the works themselves and the relevance of these masterpieces to contemporary collectors.

Au-Delà. Morandi/Fontana 
Tornabuoni Art, Paris (France)
On view through January 10, 2026 

Tornabuoni Art reframes two pivotal figures of 20th-century art, Giorgio Morandi and Lucio Fontana, through a revelatory dialogue in Au-Delà. Morandi/Fontana.  

Curated by Sergio Risaliti, Director of the Museo Novecento in Florence, the exhibition builds on an earlier iteration shown this year at CAMeC (Centro Arte Moderna e Contemporanea) in La Spezia, Italy. The presentation at Tornabuoni Art offers new insights into the metaphysical undercurrents that connect Morandi and Fontana. Through a selection of works, the exhibition explores the artists’ interpretation of contemplation—Morandi’s practice turning inward, exploring quiet contemplation, while Fontana reaches outward, creating rupture and space—and establishes dialogue between two visions united by the shared aspiration to challenge the traditional boundaries of representation. The Exhibition explores both Morandi’s and Fontana’s abilities to surpass constraints of form, across silent introspection and dynamic gestures. 

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Reinvents Himself  
Galerie Henze & Ketterer, Bern (Switzerland) 
On view through May 15, 2026 

Presented by Galerie Henze & Ketterer, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Reinvents Himself displays a focused exploration of a pivotal yet often overlooked phase in the career of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, spanning from the mid-1920s to the ’30s. The exhibition juxtaposes a collection of paintings with a selection of works on paper, illuminating Kirchner’s creative transformation during this significant decade. 

Building upon the dynamism of his Berlin years and the contemplative isolation of Davos, Switzerland, Kirchner evolved toward a calmer visual language that marked the reinvention and refinement of the artist’s “New Style.” Maintaining the expressive pulse central to his practice, the displayed works depict alpine landscapes, studio nudes, and still lifes revealing Kirchner’s continuous negotiation between realism, observation, and imaginative abstraction.
