Museums showcase works by some of the biggest stars of the 20th century
ANDY WARHOL
Tate Modern, London March 12 to September 6
The first major retrospective of the pop art icon to be held at the Tate Modern in almost 20 years, this exhibition goes beyond Warhol’s best-known works and showcases some pieces that have never before been shown in the UK. Included are 25 works from his Ladies and Gentlemen portrait series, which features drag queens and crossdressers, as well as the immersive installation Silver
Clouds, a room full of metallic, pillow-shaped balloons. tate.org.uk
DONALD JUDD
Museum of Modern Art, New York March 1 to July 11
American artist Donald Judd began his career as a painter, art critic and art historian, then went on to rewrite the rules of modern sculpture, moving past classicism and figuration to create minimalist works made from industrial materials. This retrospective showcases sculptures, paintings and drawings. moma.org
CHRISTO AND JEANNE CLAUDE
Centre Pompidou, Paris March 18 to June 15
Well known for their dramatic works of land art, the husbandand-wife duo once wrapped the Pont Neuf—the oldest standing bridge in Paris—in gold canvas, completely covering the bridge’s 12 arches and 44 lamps. This exhibition charts the story behind the project ahead of Christo’s plan to wrap the Arc de Triomphe in a similar manner later in the year— the first time he will revisit this style since his wife’s death in 2009. centrepompidou.fr
