En cuanto a las cerámicas de Barceló que presentamos, aquí, son todas ellas obras recientes (2011), y como las obras sobre papel, también inéditas y sin titular al escribir este texto. Dos de ellas, las de una tonalidad más oscura, continúan trabajos anteriores de formas cerámicas decoradas, una de ellas con lo que es probablemente un auto-retrato, otra vez grotesco.

being shown for the first time
Longer than the Spanish, but this is what it means, and it is the usual way of putting it in the context of artworks. It means "not previously exhibited"; that could said if you prefer.

"The majority of the works in the exhibition, which include oil paintings, charcoal drawings, iPad drawings, sketchbooks and digital video works have been produced between 2004 and 2011, and many are being shown for the first time in this exhibition"

"Unpublished" can be applied to artworks, but it means that images of them have never been published, either in print or (nowadays) online. That's not what this means, I think.
"Inédito" is used much more widely in Spanish than "unpublished" in English. It quite often means "unprecedented", like for example "un triunfo inédito": winning something for the first time.
In the DRAE, the third definition of "inédito" is "desconocido, nuevo". So you could even interpret this as "unknown". However, what it actually means in artspeak is first public showing.

If I may say so, copyright law and art exhibition catalogues do not necessarily use words in the same way!

Copyright Law:
Copyright law defines “publication” as the distribution of copies of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership or by rental, lease, or lending.
Offering to distribute copies to a group of people for purposes of further distribution or public display also constitutes publication. A public display does not in itself constitute publication.
A work of art that exists in only one copy, such as a painting or a statue, is
not regarded as published when the single existing copy is sold or offered for sale in the traditional way, such as through an art dealer, gallery, or auction house. A statue erected in a public place is not necessarily published.
When the work is reproduced in multiple copies, such as in reproductions of a painting or castings of a statue, the work is published when the reproductions are publicly distributed or offered to a group for further distribution or public display.

I haven't read more of the context, but ceramics today are used a lot as works of art... The more grotesque self-portrait made me think of something more artistic. But you know the context ...

Note from asker:
| Thanks, but I don't think unpublished really works here since the reference is to ceramics. I think in English published usually refers to written work... Could be wrong, but that's my gut feeling... |
