Around The World In Art This Winter 2022
As we approach the end of the year, here are some Artpaper picks of some notable exhibitions worth booking flights for.
1. UN PARADIS RETROUVÉ
Until 18 September 2022
As part of the Nice Art Biennale, the Musée Matisse presents an unprecedented conversation between David Hockney and Henri Matisse. The exhibition Hockney-Matisse. Un paradis retrouvé starts with a recent series of flower iPad paintings made by the artist which have not yet been exhibited. The show, curated by Claudine Grammont, then takes the public on a journey through the museum’s permanent collection seen through the lens of David Hockney’s art.
Where: Musée Matisse
2. “OUR SELVES” – PHOTOGRAPHS BY WOMEN ARTISTS FROM HELEN KORNBLUM”
Until 2nd October 2022
How have women artists used photography as a tool of resistance? The exhibition “Our Selves: Photographs by Women Artists from Helen Kornblum” will seek to answer this question. The expectation is to reframe restrictive notions of womanhood, exploring the connections between photography, feminism, civil rights, Indigenous sovereignty, and queer liberation.
Where: MoMa, New York
3. GUO PEI: COUTURE FANTASY
Until 5th September 2022
Couture Fantasy invites visitors on a journey into Guo Pei’s creative universe with designs displayed throughout the permanent collection and special exhibition galleries at the Legion of Honor, transforming the museum into a palace of couture.
Where: Legion of Honour, San Fransisco
4. DONATELLO: THE RENAISSANCE
Until 8th January 2023
In his own time, the 15th-century Florentine sculptor Donatello was regarded as “the master of masters”. Despite this, there has been no major exhibition devoted to the sculptor’s work for nearly 40 years. This changed in March when a sweeping survey of Donatello’s work opens in Florence at Palazzo Strozzi and at the nearby Museo Nazionale del Bargello, which houses the most important collection of works by the sculptor, including David (around 1440). Smaller incarnations of the show will be seen at the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin in September and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London next year.
Where: Gemäldegalerie, Berlin
