Hieronymus Bosch and His Pictorial World at the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin
Nov. 10, 2016 – Feb. 19, 2017
Has there ever been a crowd-pleaser such as Hieronymous Bosch? From the time his hyper-detailed dystopian hellscapes were painted in the 16th century, Bosch's art has been sought by kings, popes, and plebes alike. This exhibition, which joyfully marks the 500th anniversary of Bosch's death, includes four major works by Bosch, along with several of his drawings, and is accompanied by copies of his work by the likes of Lucas Cranach the Elder, himself a master of the medium.
The Radical Eye: Modernist Photography from the Sir Elton John Collection at the Tate Modern, London
Nov. 10, 2016 – May 7, 2017
Yes, Elton John is a superstar, but this superstar happens to be in possession of one of the most sophisticated and prolific photography collections on the planet. John has been buying photos since 1991 and at this point, owns more than 7,000 fine art photographs. This show comprises over 150 images, some of which have never been seen publicly. John's name might bring people to the show, but the quality, novelty, and beauty of the photographs will make them come back.
