Danmark og zarernes Rusland 1600-1900
Til efteråret inviterer Det Nationalhistoriske Museum inden for i de russiske zarers verden med alt, hvad der hertil hører af pomp og pragt, når museet slår dørene op for den internationale særudstilling "Danmark og zarernes Rusland". Museet fortæller historien om de mange dansk-russiske relationer og låner kostbare museumsgenstande fra en lang række danske og russiske museer. Museet låner blandt andet pragtsølv fra Kreml, hvilket var en del af den medgift, som Christian 4.s søn Valdemar Christian førte til Moskva, da han skulle giftes med zarens datter. Udstillingen fortæller om zar Peter den Store, Katharina den Store og om, hvordan den danske prinsesse Dagmar blev gift ind i den russiske zars familie i 1881. I Riddersalen kan du opleve det russiske hofs pomp og pragt, idet der blandt andet udstilles elegante gallakjoler fra dengang, der holdtes store hofballer i Vinterpaladset i Rusland.

Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Hals: Masterpieces from the Mauritshuis

www.frick.org
22nd October 2013 - 12th January 2014

The Frick Collection is pleased to announce that in the fall of 2013, it will be the final venue of an American tour of paintings from the Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis, The Hague. This prestigious Dutch museum, which has not lent a large body of works from its holdings in nearly thirty years, is undergoing an extensive two-year renovation that makes this opportunity possible. Between January 2013 and January 2014, the Mauritshuis will send thirty-five paintings to the United States, following two stops at Japanese institutions. The American exhibition opens next winter at de Young/Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, traveling on to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta for the summer of 2013. A smaller selection of ten masterpieces will be on view at The Frick Collection in New York from October 22, 2013, through January 12, 2014. Among the works going on tour are the famous Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer and The Goldfinch by Carel Fabritius, neither of which will have been seen by American audiences in ten years. Emilie Gordenker, Director of the Mauritshuis, comments, “We are delighted to have three excellent museums as partners for our U.S. tour. This agreement allows us to present our collection on both the west and east coasts of the United States, in large as well as more intimate venues.”

The ten paintings coming to the Frick, all highlights of the Mauritshuis collection, represent the range of subject matter and technique prevalent in seventeenth-century painting in The Netherlands. They are Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, c. 1665; Rembrandt van Rijn’sSimeon’s Song of Praise, 1631, and his Portrait of an Elderly Man, 1667; Frans Hals’s pendant portraits of Jacob Olycan (1596–1638) and Aletta Hanemans (1606–1653), both painted in 1625; Carel Fabritius’s The Goldfinch, 1654; Gerard ter Borch’s Woman Writing a Letter, c. 1655; Jan Steen’s Girl Eating Oysters, c. 1658–60, and ‘The Way you Hear It, Is the Way You Sing It’, c. 1665; and Jacob van Ruisdael’s View of Haarlem with Bleaching Grounds, c. 1670–75.

American Modern: Hopper to O'Keeffe

17th August 2013 - 26th January 2014
 http://www.moma.org

Drawn from MoMA’s collection, American Modern takes a fresh look at the Museum’s holdings of American art made between 1915 and 1950.

Despite having its head turned by the 20th-century European avant-garde, MoMA has always kept a place in its heart for domestic works. In fact, Edward Hopper’s House by the Railroad, included in this exhibition, was the first painting in the museum’s collection. Check out moody pieces from 1915 to 1950 that illustrate the major themes and styles of the period: the rise of cities and industry (John Marin’s abstract watercolors of lower Manhattan), rural scenes (the haunting Christina’s World by Andrew Wyeth), still-life and portraiture.

No Foreign Lands: Peter Doig

Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art
3rd August 2013 - 3rd September 2013

The first major Scottish show by Edinburgh-born Doig focuses on paintings from the last decade that reflect years spent between Trinidad, London and Germany. His paintings are filled with oblique references and unsettling atmosphere, local colour and characters. Fetching mind-boggling prices these days, he still tries to keep it real.

This important international exhibition is a collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal and surveys the paintings and works on paper that Doig has created during the past 10 years, with a particular emphasis on the artist's approach to serial motifs and recurring imagery. These works are exotic in their subject matter, formally spare and monumental at the same time and show Doig working at the height of his extraordinary powers.

His inventive style, uncommonly sensuous palette and suggestive imagery set him apart from the conceptualism dominating much of contemporary art. A willingness to take up the challenge still posed by the paintings of Gauguin, Matisse, Bonnard, Marsden Hartley and Edward Hopper places him in a long line of great colourists, expressive handlers of paint and creators of richly textured worlds.

Witches and Wicked Bodies

www.nationalgalleries.org
27th July 2013 - 3rd November 2013

An exploration of how witches and witchcraft have been depicted by artists over the past 500 years, including works by Albrecht Dürer, Francisco de Goya and William Blake, alongside pieces by 20th century artists such as Paula Rego and Kiki Smith.

The exhibition comprises 16th and 17th century prints and drawings that through the advent of the printing press spread artists' ideas, myths and fears about witches from country to country, successfully embedding these images in our visual culture to the present day. Modern works included in the show challenge how these myths have formed the basis for negative cultural representations of women.

Including major works on loan from the British Museum, the National Gallery (London), Tate, the Victoria & Albert Museum, as well as works from the Galleries’ own collections, Witches & Wicked Bodies will be an investigation of extremes, exploring the highly exaggerated ways in which witches have been represented, from hideous hags to beautiful seductresses.

Laura Knight Portraits

National Portrait Gallery (London, United Kingdom)
11th July 2013 - 13th October 2013

Dame Laura Knight (1877 –1970) was one of the most popular and pioneering British artists of the twentieth century. Her artistic career took her from Cornwall to Baltimore, and from the circus to the Nuremburg Trials. She painted dancers at the Ballet Russes and Gypsies at Epsom races, and was acclaimed for her work as an official war artist.

Knight used portraiture to capture contemporary life and culture, and her paintings are remarkable for their diverse range of subjects and settings. This exhibition of over 30 portraits will reveal Knight’s highly distinctive and vivid work, and also illustrate her success in gaining greater professional recognition for women in the arts.

Tsutsugaki - Textiles indigo du Japon

Musee Guimet
10th July 2013 - 7th October 2013

Le public est invité à découvrir une collection de tsutsugaki exceptionnelle, présentée pour la première fois hors du Japon !

A l’occasion de la saison japonaise, le musée Guimet a souhaité faire découvrir au public l’art méconnu mais sensationnel du tsutsugaki en exposant une trentaine de textiles de type tsutsugaki 筒描 issus d’une collection privée japonaise, l’une des plus riches au monde, accompagnés d’une dizaine de pièces issues du prestigieux fonds Riboud appartenant au musée Guimet.

Le tsutsugaki (de tsutsu, « tube » et de gaki, « dessin ») désigne une technique japonaise de teinture à l’indigo accompagnée de décors réalisés par réserve à la pâte de riz, mais aussi et surtout les oeuvres textiles qui en procèdent, dont les plus anciens témoignages remontent au XVIe siècle. La renommée des tsutsugaki provient de leur assemblage quasi invisible de tissus, de la force de leurs couleurs et de la qualité de leurs dessins, comparables à de véritables tableaux auxquels il ne manquerait qu’une signature. On pense que des artistes majeurs ont créé en leur temps des motifs detsutsugaki.

À l’image de l’art de l’estampe, le tsutsugaki est un art populaire qui relève à la fois du dessin et de la teinture, résultat d’un processus de création complexe qui fait appel à plusieurs savoir-faire conjoints (le dessinateur, l’artisan et le teinturier). Né à l’époque de Muromachi (1337-1573), le tsutsugaki a connu son apogée au cours de l’époque d’Edo (1603-1868).

Mexico. A Revolution in Art, 1910-1940

6 July—29 September 2013
Burlington House

 Mexico: A Revolution in Art, 1910 – 1940, will examine the intense thirty year period of artistic creativity that took place in Mexico at the beginning of the twentieth century. The turmoil of the revolution between 1910 and 1920 ushered in a period of profound political change in which the arts were placed centre stage. Often referred to as a cultural renaissance, artists were employed by the Ministry of Public Education on ambitious public arts projects designed to promote the principles of the revolution.

The exhibition will explore this period both in terms of national and international artists. Work by significant Mexican artists, such as Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros, will be placed alongside that of individuals who were affected by their experiences in Mexico. These include Josef Albers, Edward Burra, Philip Guston, Marsden Hartley, Paul Strand, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Henrietta Shore, Leon Underwood, Tina Modotti and Edward Weston. 'Mexico: A Revolution in Art, 1910 – 1940' will reveal a dynamic and often turbulent cultural environment that included some seminal figures of the twentieth century reflecting on their interaction with each other and their differing responses to the same subject: Mexico.
