With their discerning eye, Hélène Bailly and Félix Marcilhac share the must-see events that will shape the coming months on the international art scene.

1. NEW YORK — Guggenheim
Marking the centenary of Robert Rauschenberg, the Guggenheim revisits milestones of his groundbreaking practice — image transfers, silkscreens, unconventional supports — highlighting how the artist consistently kept art anchored in reality. The centerpiece, Barge (1962–1963), a monumental 32-foot silkscreen painting co-acquired by the Guggenheim New York and Guggenheim Bilbao, returns to Fifth Avenue for the first time in nearly twenty-five years.
October 10, 2025 – April 5, 2026. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue, New York.

4. LONDON — The National Gallery
For the first time, the National Gallery dedicates an exhibition to Neo-Impressionism, inaugurating its renovated Sainsbury Wing. Radical Harmony: Helene Kröller-Müller's Neo-Impressionists brings together a landmark selection from the Kröller-Müller Museum. A highlight: Georges Seurat's Le Chahut (1889–1890), shown in the UK for the very first time.
September 13, 2025 – February 8, 2026. The National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, London.

5. GSTAAD — MAZE Art Gstaad
The Alps could well be called the winter epicenter of contemporary art. Proof comes again with MAZE Art Gstaad, a boutique-style fair featuring a curated selection of international galleries and creators — ranging from modern and contemporary art to historical pieces, collectible design to high jewellery.
