Where to go in winter: 10 exhibitions in different cities of the world

Few of us are planning a vacation or vacation. under a certain cultural event - but if you have already decided on a winter trip, nothing prevents you from finding an interesting exhibition in the country where you are going. We talk about ten exhibitions in different cities of the world that are worth paying attention to.

London

Robert Rauschenberg is a significant figure not only for American, but also for world art. The exhibition at Tate Modern is the first retrospective of the artist after his death in 2008 and the first major demonstration of Rauschenberg's works in the UK over the past 35 years, so it definitely deserves attention. The curators of the exhibition want to draw attention to the diversity of Rauschenberg's creativity and how in 60 years he has managed to work in many different directions: painting, sculpture, photography, graphics and performance.

New York

This is the first major exhibition of Francis Picabia in the United States - in the summer it could be seen in the Museum of Fine Arts of Zurich. Within its framework, about 200 works of the artist will be presented, showing his creative evolution: although Picabia is known primarily as a representative of Dadaism, he worked in a variety of styles and genres. By the way, this is not the only interesting exhibition in MoMA - until mid-February, you can also watch the exhibition Nan Goldin here.

Prague

Jürgen Teller is one of the most famous contemporary photographers, best known for his work in the fashion industry. The exhibition in Prague will have several themes: here you can see a series of shots of "Mit dem Teller nach Bonn" ("With Teller in Bonn") - while working on it, the photographer received permission to shoot in the Chancellor bungalow, as well as cards made by Teller in 2014 year when Germany won the World Cup.

The exhibition is jointly organized by the Rudolfinum Gallery in Prague, the Federal Exhibition Hall Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn and the Martin Gropius Bau House in Berlin. For each of the sites, Teller adapts the exposition in its own way: in the Rudolfinum they promise to present the largest number of photographs and several videos.

Vein

In the 21st century, it is still difficult for women to succeed in an environment dominated by men for a long time - and in the past century the situation was even more difficult. The exhibition "The Best Half: Jewish Artists before 1938" is devoted to 40 artists, both famous and little-known to the general public, and tells about their creative path and how they tried to achieve recognition in the traditionally "male" environment. The year in the title of the exhibition hints at the difficult path of women: many were forced to flee the country, others died in concentration camps.

Paris

The exhibition deserves attention not only because of the works represented on it (there are more than 120 of them - there are Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Paul Gauguin, Edgar Degas, Vincent Van Gogh, Kazimir Malevich, Alexander Rodchenko and not only), but also because what huge efforts it was necessary to put in to collect them all on one platform. The collection belonged to Sergey Schukin - a Moscow merchant and a famous collector of modern art; with the advent of Soviet power, it was nationalized, and in the middle of the last century it was divided among several museums. The Louis Vuitton Foundation managed to reassemble the canvases thanks to the assistance of the Hermitage and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts A. S. Pushkin.

Milan

The aim of the exhibition curator Anna Lo Bianco was to show how Rubens was influenced by ancient art and classical sulpture, as well as the influence Rubens himself had on the younger Italian artists of his era - Pietro da Cortona, Giovanni Lanfranco and Luca Giordano. To emphasize this idea, the exhibition presents works not only of Rubens, but also of Italian artists of the Baroque era - a total of more than 70 creations. Until the end of January in the Palazzo Real you can also see another interesting exhibition dedicated to Japanese prints.

Bilbao

Fiona Tan has an unusual fate: the artist was born in Indonesia, grew up in Australia, and now lives in the Netherlands. Tan's past influences her work: she calls herself a “professional foreigner,” because in many ways her personality has precisely shaped her travels. In Bilbao, it will be possible to see the Tang "Disorient" video installation, created in 2009 for the Venice Biennale. The work of the artist is dedicated to the past of Venice, which was the center of trade in Asian goods in the XIII-XVI centuries. It also tells about the image of Asia, which was created in the Book of Wonders of the World, describing the journey of Marco Polo, and how it relates to reality.

Tokyo

Tokyo is not the most obvious direction for those who want to get acquainted with the works of Titian, but if you are given such an opportunity, then why not. At the exhibition you can see about 70 paintings and engravings, including works by Titian himself (including the famous Flora and Danae), as well as works by other Italian artists - all together they should give viewers a detailed view of the Venetian school of painting .

Melbourne

An impressive exhibition of one of the most famous contemporary British artists: more than 600 works by David Hockney will be exhibited at the National Gallery of Victoria. Among them are works made with iPad and iPhone, as well as more traditional paintings, digital drawings, videos and photos. Those who are not ready to go to Australia, this winter can see another exhibition of the artist - in London Tate.

Moscow

For those who are not ready to go further in Moscow this winter, but still want to look at works from foreign collections, an exhibition in the Tretyakov Gallery will do. Exhibits from the Vatican museums created in the 12th-18th centuries will be brought here, including works by Giovanni Bellini, Melozzo da Forli, Perugino, Raphael, Caravaggio, Guido Reni, Gverchino and Nicolas Poussin. Next year, a return exhibition will be held in the Vatican: they will present works of Russian painting from the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery.
