Before Art Basel Paris arrives in October, September brings a concentrated Paris season spanning Kerry James Marshall, Cezanne, Christian Marclay, Paris Design Week, Fine Arts Paris and a gallery-history exhibition in the Marais.

September gives London collectors an unusually useful head start: museum shows in their final weeks, important gallery openings, Frieze Sculpture in Regent’s Park and a major Magritte exhibition before the October fairs arrive.

At Reina Sofía, Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s candy spills, paper stacks, curtains and light strings reveal why participation can be generous without ever becoming easy.

As CHART and Enter Art Fair open across Copenhagen, the strongest reason to visit is the art beyond the headline events: Camille Henrot at Copenhagen Contemporary, Ayako Rokkaku across fair and public space, Emma Kohlmann at V1, Anna Munk at Nicolai Wallner, Janaina Tschäpe at Galleri Bo Bjerggaard and more.

Theo Triantafyllidis has been named the recipient of the 2026 Frieze London Artist Award, where he will present Feral Metaverse (Spider), a new participatory installation co-commissioned by Frieze, Forma and, for the first time, Google Arts & Culture.

Tate Modern’s Frida: The Making of an Icon (25 June 2026 – 3 January 2027) explores how Frida Kahlo evolved from painter to global cultural icon. Developed with the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the exhibition traces her lasting influence across art, feminism and popular culture, positioning Kahlo as a figure continually reinterpreted by new generations.
