Below, you can find a list of upcoming exhibitions.
"Zanele Muholi: Eye Me"
The Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco.
January 18–August 11, 2036.
The first major museum solo exhibition of a South African artist is on the West Coast. The show features more than 100 photographs by the artist dated from 2002 through today, alongside a selection of paintings, sculptures, and video works, for both those new to her work and longstanding followers. Being engaged with the Black queer community of post-apartheid South Africa is one of the reasons why her work is frequently situated at the intersection of art and activism. The work of Muholi emphasizes the power and beauty as well as the complex history of the LGBTQ+ communities.
The title was "Giants."
The Brooklyn Museum of Art has art.
February 10–July 7, 2024.
The first major exhibition to go on view from the art collection of musical icons is called "Giants". Over the last 20 years, the Deans have put their money where their mouth is and have amassed one of the most vital collections of artists of color in the world. Over 100 works by the likes of Henry Taylor, Amy Sherald, and more were brought together by the museum's curator in "Giants." The title refers to standing on the shoulders of giants, as well as the monumentality of the works themselves, in the finale of the show in the Great Hall atrium, where the painting Arthur is eight feet by 18 feet. After the exhibition, a promised gift from the collection will be donated to the museum, which is currently being served by Swizz Beatz.

The show focuses on the impact of Black artists in portraying everyday life in the new Black cities of the 1920s and 40s, particularly in Harlem. The Great Migration is the subject of a new show in New York City. Notable artists include Charles Alston, Meta Warrick Fuller, William H. Johnson, Winold Reiss, Augusta Savage and Laura Wheeler Waring.

February 23–August 11, 2024.
The Menil collection has various items.
The exhibition at the Menil Collection in Houston offers new insights into Janet Sobel's brief but crucial involvement in the mid-century abstract expressionist scene. The artist, a mother of five, was known for laying canvases flat on her apartment floor and dripping paint in evocative gestures that teach her compositions' edges. This exhibition marks the first time that Sobel's paintings along with a number of works on paper have been shown. March.
Joyce J. Scott spoke about walking a mile in her dreams.
The Baltimore Museum of Art is a museum.
March 24 to July 14, 2036.
Joyce J. Scott has a second retrospective at the Baltimore Museum of Art. The exhibition, which will include more than 120 pieces of jewelry and sculpture from the past five decades, will be a big deal for the septuagenarian artist as it will join an already-open survey of work by her mother. The connection between the two women and their hometown of Baltimore will be a point of emphasis. The show's co-curators said that Joyce J. Scott's use of a wide range of materials brought beauty and biting irony to bear on subjects ranging from the traumatic to the transcendental. She practices intergenerational practice that is radical in its commitment to community and place. Those who have already seen Scott's work will be thrilled to see the many aspects of it brought together and those who have never seen her work can expect to be blown away.
"Toshiko Takaezu: Worlds Within"
Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum.
March 20 to July 28, 2024.
On the 100th anniversary of the birth of artist Takaezu, the Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum have announced a retrospective of her work. The Museum is collaborating with Yale University Press on a monograph about an American ceramic artist. She is one of the most compelling and conceptually innovative American artists of the last century. It considers the range, depth, and development of her work with a particular focus on the worlds she conjured within individual forms and in stunning environmental installations. The title of the show is meant to evoke the vital sense of resonance expressed in Takaezu's work and alludes to her assertion that the most important aspect of her closed forms is the dark space that you can't see. Kathe Kollwitz.

This is the first New York City museum retrospective and the largest exhibition of Kollwitz's work in the US in more than three decades.

The exhibition will show the development of the artist's work from the 1890s through the 1930s, during a time of turmoil in German history including industrialization and the horrors of war.

The Institute of Contemporary Art is in Boston.
April 4–September 2, 2024.

It will feature approximately 40 works and will span nearly two decades. The artist is the recipient of the 2010 Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Award. The artist began creating large-scale works in which she painted directly onto archival materials, alluding to a variety of disciplines, from anthropology and geography to folklore and science fiction. The spring exhibition will expand on Bez's installation at the ICA Watershed in 2021, while dazzling audiences with several new works, all highlighting Bez's boundless capacity for sumptuous storytelling.

The retrospective, titled Light Line, will include examples from both Truisms and Inflammatory Essays.

Philadelphia Museum of Art.
May 18–September 8th, 2024.
Mary Cassatt was a favorite among the French Impressionists and pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable to depict in fine art. Her depictions of femininity through the lens of gender and labor are some of the more innovative depictions of femininity in her art. The exhibition "Mary Cassatt at Work" consists of more than 130 works including prints, pastels, and paintings and aims to provide new insight into the artist's life. The show is significant as well as it is the first major presentation of the oeuvre since the late 1990s.
