Munch museum, Oslo MAPPLETHORPE + MUNCH February 6. to May 29. "There is a number of fascinating parallels and points of contact between the art of Edvard Munch and Robert Mapplethorpe. This complex relationship is what the exhibition Mapplethorpe+Munch aims to explore. With 141 works from Mapplethorpe and 95 from Munch the exhibition presents similarities between two great artists that have never been done before." http://munchmuseet.no/en/exhibitions/mapplethorpe-munch

“The solo exhibition tells the full story of the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s production, from her dot paintings to the installation spaces that open into a vast world of her imagination. This is a world where color, patterns, and movement bear witness to her fascination with the infinite.”
