2022 Art Exhibitions & Fairs



Jasper Johns: Mind/Mirror

Sept 29, 2021 – Feb 13, 2022 │ Whitney Museum of American Art, New York

Jasper Johns' work has been making waves in the art world since his first show in the late 1950s. Ever since, his work has helped spark many art movements, including Pop art, Minimalism and Conceptualism. This massive retrospective spanning Johns' 65-year career is one of the most comprehensive to date, featuring iconic and rare pieces on public view for the first time through a large range of media from paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures. This show has two parts, one of which is being featured at the Whitney and the other at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

 

Paul Cezanne

Cezanne was known by Picasso and Matisse as “the greatest of us all.” His work is still revered today almost a hundred years after it was created.

Cezanne is a must-see exhibition organized by the Art institute of Chicago and the Tate Modern, London.

 

Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898-1971

Opening 2022 Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Los Angeles

Regeneration delves into the works of African American filmmakers from the birth of the motion picture industry through the Civil Rights era while opening dialogues between these filmmakers and visual artists.

Andy Warhol: Revelation

Nov 19, 2021 – June 19, 2022 │Brooklyn Museum

Andy Warhol is one of the world's most celebrated artists yet his work inspired by his Catholic upbringing remains lesser known. Andy Warhol: Revelation explores the artist's relationship with religion, highlighting his recontextualization of the subject through the lens of Pop art and culture.

 

Barbara Kruger: THINKING OF YOU. I MEAN ME. I MEAN YOU

Sep 19, 2021 – Jan 24, 2022 Art Institute of Chicago

American Artist Barbara Kruger has been creating work that underlines our relationship with consumerism and contemporary life for the past 40 years. This major 2022 exhibition is not a retrospective but it certainly brings together a massive array of pieces encompassing the full breadth of her career – from lesser-known “pasteups” to more recent digital productions. The show includes works on vinyl, site-specific installations, animations and multichannel video installations that fill the largest viewing room in the museum and spill out into the surrounding cityscape. This exhibition is great chance to experience Krugers work: “As shrinking attention spans collide with the voyeurism and narcissism that define contemporary life, her immersive installations and widely circulated pictures and words invite us to reconsider how we relate to one another.”

 

Weaving Splendor: Treasures of Asian Textiles

Sep 25, 2021 – March 6, 2022 │ Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Missouri

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art has curated a superb collection of Chinese, Indian, Persian and Turkish clothing and textiles.
