Now, for the first time, an exhibition is being dedicated to Alice and the many different ways in which she has inspired and influenced visual artists. Alice in the Wonderland of Art at the Hamburger Kunsthalle (Hamburg, Germany) brings together around 200 works from 150 years of art history.
A selection of major works from The William S. Paley Collection at The Museum of Modern Art, New York will be on view at the de Young (San Francisco, USA) September 15 through December 30, 2012.
In 1939, three artists, Wolfgang Paalen (Austrian, 1905-1959), Alice Rahon (French, 1904-1987), and Eva Sulzer (Swiss, 1902-1990), left Paris to explore the pre-Columbian ruins of the Pacific Northwest and Mexico. They remained in Mexico, becoming part of an international group of surrealist artists and writers who settled in Mexico City during the 1940s.
Picasso Black and White, the first major exhibition to focus on the artist’s lifelong exploration of a black-and-white palette throughout his career, will be presented at the Guggenheim Museum (New York, USA) from October 5, 2012, to January 23, 2013.
The Kunsthaus Zürich (Switzerland) presents the first showing of works from the bequest of Bruno Giacometti (1907-2012), consisting primarily of more than 250 pieces by his brother Alberto and father Giovanni.
