1. BASEL, SWITZERLAND — Fondation Beyeler
Few artists have shaped modern art as decisively as Paul Cézanne. The Fondation Beyeler presents 'Cézanne', a major monographic exhibition devoted to the late and most significant phase of his work. Still lifes, portraits, landscapes and bathers reveal an artist at the height of his formal maturity.
2. VENICE, ITALY — 61st La Biennale di Venezia
The opening of the Venice Biennale remains one of the defining moments in the cultural calendar, where artistic experimentation, institutional positioning and geopolitical narratives converge. The 61st edition offers, across Venice, perspective rather than immediacy, with participating countries presenting national representations across the city.
3. LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — Tate Modern
'Tracey Emin: A Second Life', at Tate Modern, is the largest exhibition ever dedicated to one of the most influential figures in British art. Spanning four decades, it brings together iconic works and recent pieces, tracing an autobiographical practice shaped by vulnerability, love and survival.
4. PARIS, FRANCE — Fondation Louis Vuitton
Until August 2026, spring in Paris brings a major retrospective dedicated to Alexander Calder, one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th century. Hosted by the Fondation Louis Vuitton, the exhibition brings together mobiles, stabiles, wire sculptures, paintings and drawings, documenting Calder's exploration of movement, balance and spatial construction.
5. MOUANS-SARTOUX, SOUTH OF FRANCE — Dragon Hill
Hidden in the hills above the Côte d'Azur, the Dragon Hill Residence is a confidential, invitation-only address where architecture, landscape and contemporary art converge. At its heart stands a rare 1964 Maison Paysage by visionary architect Jacques Couëlle. Conceived as both an artist residency and a place for reflection, Dragon Hill privileges artistic process over exhibition. Invited artists live and work on site, offering rare insight into the earliest stages of artistic production.
