On view through March 27, 2016
The Luxury of Time: European Clocks and Watches will draw upon the Museum’s extensive holdings of French, English, Dutch, German, and Swiss horological instruments from the 16th through the 19th centuries and will examine their decorative qualities. At the time they were made, these clocks and watches were acquired primarily as decorative objects or specialized pieces of furniture, but several of them are equally important from a technical standpoint, illustrating important developments in European clock making.

Monet and the Impressionist Revolution, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY
On view through March 20, 2016
With broad strokes, Monet and the Impressionist Revolution, 1860–1910 highlights the transformation of Claude Monet's visual practice. He brought painting to the brink of abstraction, but on no occasion crossed over into completely nonrepresentational imagery. One of the founders of French Impressionism, Monet painted outside en plein air (in the open air), where he refined his use of color to reveal the ambiance of natural light. Monet worked alongside artists including Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Édouard Manet, Camille Pissarro, and Alfred Sisley, while leading and serving as an inspirational figure within the movement.

Georgia O’Keeffe: Her Carolina Story, Columbia Museum of Art, Columbia, SC
On view through January 10, 2016
Georgia O'Keeffe: Her Carolina Story celebrates the 100th anniversary of O'Keeffe's time teaching at Columbia College and the great untold story of her development as modernist. In 1915, Georgia O'Keeffe radically redefined herself as an artist. Rejecting all she had done before, she found her voice with a series of black and white charcoal drawings she collectively titled, Specials. What happened next is the stuff of legends: her great Charleston friend Anita Pollitzer took these drawings, unbeknownst to the artist, and showed them to Alfred Stieglitz (noted American photographer, gallery owner, and promoter of modern art) who proclaimed, "At last, a woman on paper."

PARIS

Warhol Unlimited, Museum of Modern Art, Paris
On view through February 7, 2016
As a setting for the first European showing of Shadows (1978-79) in their entirety, the Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris is devoting a remarkable exhibition to Andy Warhol (1928-1987). Comprising over 200 works, Unlimited highlights the serial side of the Warhol oeuvre – a crucial aspect of his work – and his ability to rethink the way art should be exhibited. Housed at the Dia Art Foundation, Shadows is a striking group of 102 silkscreened canvases of 17 different colours whose length totals more than 130 metres. These works are a commanding reminder of Warhol's flouting of art's conventions, from the conception of works through to their presentation. Asked if these pictures were art, Warhol said no: "You see, the opening party had disco. I guess that makes them disco décor." Click here to continue reading.
