Painting, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, Spain
April 27, 2013 - September 2, 2013
Together, Museo Reina Sofía and the Centre Georges Pompidou have organised a large exhibition devoted to Salvador Dalí. The exhibition is conceived as a contribution to the reappraisal of Dalí as a thinker, a writer and the creator of a very particular vision of the world.

René Burri
Photography, Museum für Gestaltung, Zurich, Switzerland
June 5, 2013 - October 13, 2013
The center of attention is Swiss Magnum photographer René Burri, who for years led a double life – one in black and white and one in color. Many of his pictures, such as the one of Che Guevara smoking a cigar, or his photos of Le Corbusier are known throughout the world. In contrast up until recently his color photography received little recognition. On the occasion of Burri’s 80th birthday we close this gap and present for the first time his largely unknown color work along with the short stories behind his icons in black and white.

Exhibition
Photography, °CLAIR Galerie, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France
May 10, 2013 - June 1, 2013
Beauty is a question of vision, thoughts, feelings. It is more than a fad, more than an unwritten rule - it is always changing. The viewer discovers it at an unspecified moment by sudden impulse, in the quiet movement of an eyelid, the hint of a smile. The photographer surprises her, capturing her to give her what she lacks: eternity.

The Mystery of the Ordinary, 1926–1938

Wed, 08 May 2013 00:22:35 +0200

René Magritte
Painting, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, United-States
September 28, 2013 - January 12, 2014
This exhibition, organized in collaboration with The Menil Collection, Houston, and The Art Institute of Chicago, is the first to focus exclusively on the breakthrough Surrealist years of René Magritte, creator of some of the 20th century’s most extraordinary images. Beginning in 1926, when Magritte first aimed to create paintings that would, in his words, “challenge the real world,” and concluding in 1938—a historically and biographically significant moment just prior to the outbreak of World War II—the exhibition traces central strategies and themes from the most inventive and experimental period in the artist’s prolific career.

Bill Brandt
Photography, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, United-States
March 6, 2013 - August 12, 2013
Bill Brandt is a founding figure in photography’s modernist traditions, and this exhibition represents a major critical reevaluation of his heralded career. Brandt’s distinctive vision—his ability to present the mundane world as fresh and strange—emerged in London in the 1930s, and drew from his time in the Paris studio of Man Ray. His visual explorations of the society, landscape, and literature of England are indispensable to any understanding of photographic history and, arguably, to our understanding of life in Britain during the middle of the 20th century.

His work, permanently fluctuating between extreme attraction and rejection, arouses both fascination and irritation. Klauke was among the first artists to avail themselves of photography as an instrument for artistic expression.

Aging today is a disease that is swept under the rug in the plastic surgeons office or is tucked away in the psychiatrist's drawer. The advertising and fashion industries breed classifications that distort private and public perception of female identity, often placing the mature, single, childless and ‘fameless’ woman on the very margin of society.
