The influence of Raphael, the "divine" Renaissance master, reverberates through time in "Raffael. Legacy and Inspiration" , an exhibition at Dresden’s Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister.

Walking through "Mondrian Evolution" at the Fondation Beyeler feels like witnessing a slow but inevitable ascent—from the grounded tranquility of Dutch landscapes to the soaring clarity of pure abstraction. This focused exhibition charts Piet Mondrian’s artistic journey from his early naturalistic works rooted in the Hague School tradition to the radical geometries that defined De Stijl.

The exhibition “Northern Light: The David Kronn Photography Collection” unfolds at the intersection of historical trauma and visual testimony, offering a haunting meditation on The Troubles. Anchored by works from Rosalind Fox Solomon, David Farrell, Gilles Caron, and Chris Steele-Perkins, it juxtaposes visceral documentary imagery with poetic meditations on loss, creating a dialogue between past and present.

Tucked inside Swiss Institute’s East Village location—a former Chase Bank branch turned contemporary art space—Jill Mulleady’s "Fight-or-Flight" unfolds like a fever dream. The exhibition channels the fraught psychological and environmental tensions of our time through allegorical paintings and sculptural interventions that merge myth, memory, and modern ruin.

In an era marked by political fragmentation and cultural dissonance, Wolfgang Tillmans’s Installation (1992–2018) at the Albertinum in Dresden arrives as both a contemplative retreat and a resonant call for reflection. The exhibition is not merely a retrospective but a carefully constructed narrative that spans nearly three decades of Tillmans’ photographic practice, weaving together personal intimacy, historical trauma, and abstract experimentation.

In the contemporary art world, where medium-specific boundaries are increasingly blurred, Photographer as Sculptor, Sculptor as Photographer emerges as a timely exploration of the interplay between two distinct yet deeply interconnected artistic practices. On view at Bruce Silverstein Gallery in New York, the exhibition challenges the historical hierarchy that has often placed sculpture above photography, asserting the latter’s equal capacity for abstraction, materiality, and spatial presence.

Four hundred fifty years after his death, Pieter Bruegel the Elder continues to cast an enigmatic shadow over the art world, his expansive imagination echoing through the halls of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. The exhibition, Pieter Bruegel the Elder: Once in a Lifetime (2018–2019), uniquely celebrates the Netherlandish master's legacy through an unprecedented assemblage of paintings, prints, and drawings.

In a cultural era where confrontations with historical injustice provoke both introspection and societal upheaval, Andres Serrano’s exhibition Infamous at Fotografiska New York boldly engages viewers in an unapologetic exploration of America's deeply ingrained racism.

In an era shadowed by global crises, the German Pavilion at the 60th Venice Art Biennale 2024 compellingly explores the nature of boundaries—both physical and conceptual—in its provocative exhibition, Thresholds. Curated by Çağla Ilk and featuring artists Yael Bartana and Ersan Mondtag, Thresholds leverages the fraught historical context of its venue, the Giardini della Biennale, to interrogate notions of nationalism, identity, and future possibilities.
