We join in congratulating Wolfgang Tillmans on receiving the 2026 Roswitha Haftmann Prize.
The prize is presented by the Roswitha Haftmann Foundation Board in acknowledgement of a more than four decade body of work that has combined artistic innovation with social responsibility. Previous winners have included Walter De Maria, VALIE EXPORT, Maria Lassnig, Cildo Meireles, Sigmar Polke, Robert Ryman, Cindy Sherman, Rosemarie Trockel, Cecilia Vicuña and Jett Wall.
The official award ceremony will take place on Thursday 17, September 2026 at the Kunsthaus Zürich.
This will be delivered by Prof. Bernhart Schwenk, a member of the Board and Chief Curator and Head of the Contemporary Art Collection at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich. He says: "Wolfgang Tillmans is unquestionably one of the trailblazing artists of his generation in the field of photography internationally.”

Modern Art Oxford presents Little Fennel’s Complaint, a major solo exhibition by Olivia Plender (b. 1977, London), exploring historic and ongoing inequalities in women’s healthcare, from early modern witchcraft to contemporary debates on reproductive rights and medical authority.
Plender developed the exhibition through research with leading Oxford institutions, including the Bodleian Library, Oxford Botanic Garden and John Radcliffe Hospital. Across embroidered textiles, watercolours, drawings, mobiles, and sound works, she examines how women’s healthcare has been recorded, classified, and practised over time, exploring how systems of knowledge shape lived experience while offering alternative understandings grounded in feminist histories.
The exhibition also features three seventeenth-century books on loan from the Bodleian Library at Oxford University. These volumes contain the medical case notes of astrologer doctor Richard Napier, who practiced humoral medicine based on the ancient theory of the four humours.

Paulo Nimer Pjota works in oil, tempera and acrylic on canvas. His paintings draw on art history, popular culture, mythology and folk tales, merging multiple references to create expansive imaginary worlds. We have been showing his work at the gallery since 2016.
At the SLG, Encantados showcases a new series of paintings paired with an overall mural painted directly onto the gallery walls. His installation environments are populated by mythical characters, animals and various beasts; bringing together disparate elements from the past, present, his life in Brazil, as well as his created world.

Maureen Paley is pleased to present Leisure, the first exhibition by Jack O’Brien at the gallery in Morena di Luna, Hove.
Opening today between 2 - 6 pm.
In this new exhibition, Jack O’Brien reconfigures everyday objects through processes of twisting, binding, stretching, and puncturing, using these material interventions to probe how desire is constructed, how economies of consumption are sedimented, and how queer aesthetics operate under conditions of instability and continual transformation.
With special thanks to:
Ginny on Frederick and Freddie Powell.
