From 13 October 2012 Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen (Rotterdam, The Netherlands) presents the exhibition The Road to Van Eyck with more than eighty masterpieces by Dutch, Flemish, French and German artists around 1400.
From 28 September 2012 to 20 January 2013, the Kunsthaus Zürich will be exhibiting 60 prints by the French painter Paul Gauguin. This richly varied and innovative collection of graphic works by the founding father of modern painting is largely unknown. The prints are of supreme quality and the utmost rarity.
This autumn, an exhibition in Germany will investigate the dark side of the Romanticist movement and its continuation in Symbolism and Surrealism. Dark Romanticism: From Goya to Max Ernst will explore the fascination of many artists with the realm of the unfathomable, mysterious and evil. The show will be on view at the Städel Museum.
This autumn, De Nieuwe Kerk’s Masterpiece series (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) will feature a work by Andy Warhol. From 6 October to 11 November 2012, De Nieuwe Kerk Amsterdam will be exhibiting his religious and spiritual masterpiece The Last Supper (pink), from 1986. At the end of his life, Warhol (1928–1987) made a series of works on this theme, which many experts regard as his most important achievement.
‘Portrait of Spain: Masterpieces from the Prado’ has been specially curated for the Queensland Art Gallery (Brisbane, Australia) by the Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid. It is the largest and most significant international loan the Prado has ever undertaken, and is also the first exhibition from their collection ever to be shown in the Southern Hemisphere.
