This exhibition is the last of three major retrospectives at the Museum Frieder Burda to feature significant German artists. After Polke and Richter, the Baselitz retrospective, curated by Goetz Adriani, consists of 75 large paintings and 50 works on paper, celebrating 50 years of the artist’s oeuvre. The first exhibition is divided into four main categories: works from the early 60s; diptychs from the 70s; the “Heroes” series; and the late “Remix” paintings. Chronologically organised, they trace Baselitz’s painting career from 1959 to the present. The show aims to offer new insights by focusing on the role of the past in his work. According to Adriani, the artist’s East German heritage plays an essential part in the works shown: “Already in his early work Baselitz revolted against the political and painterly restrictions of social realism, introducing scandalous sexual themes to his art.” The “Heroes” series critically deals with “broken German heroes rather than brave German soldiers”, Adriani notes. A highlight of the show is the “Remix” series, which Baselitz began in 2005. Engaging anew with his works from the early 1960s, he manoeuvres the past into the present. What were dark and depressed works are now repainted with a “rococo lightness” said Adriani, In “Baselitz: 30 Years of Sculpture” at the neighbouring Staatliche Kunsthalle, which consists of 15 sculptures shown alongside eight paintings, curator Karoline Kraus explores the relationship between the artist’s sculpture and painting. Works of different media from the same creative period are displayed to offer a new perspective on the Baselitz’s three-dimensional work. Among the works on show is the new sculpture Volks Ding Zero, 2009, which is being shown for the first time.

This exhibition is part of a series of three celebrating the 20th anniversary of the twinning of Istanbul and Berlin. The series, which continues at the Akademie der Künste, Hanseatenweg, and the Akademie Pariser Platz, presents a comprehensive presentation of work from a variety of Turkish contemporary artists. Artists included in the Martin Gropius Bau show include sculptor and abstract modernist Kemal Önsoy, the figurative and painterly Temür Köran, Aydan Murtezaoglu, who makes films, photographs and installations, and the abstract painter Ekrem Yalcindag. Curated by Çetin Güzelhan, Beral Madra, Levent Çalikoglu and Johannes Odenthal, this section of the series consists of work dating from 1928 to the present day. The Akademie Pariser Platz shows work by female artists, and the Akademie Hanseatenweg shows work by artists engaging with the socio-political issues of modern Turkey. Included in the Martin Gropius show is a six-minute film by Sener Özmen, who lives and works in the south-east of Turkey, entitled The Road to Tate Modern, 2003, in which two men ride horses through a bleak mountainous landscape asking farmers for directions to Tate Modern.

A survey of symbolist artist Paul Gauguin opens at the Cleveland Museum of Art before it travels to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam next year. The show partially recreates the exhibition that Gauguin and his contemporaries independently organised in the Café Volpini, Paris, during the Exposition Universelle, or World’s Fair. Around 75 works from that show are reunited for the first time in more than a century, along with works on paper, woodcarvings and ceramics.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, hosts a landmark exhibition of ancient Vietnamese art this month. This ambitious, large-scale show—the first of its kind to be staged in the US—is the culmination of 20 years of research, planning and negotiations with Vietnamese institutions and government officials. The wide variety of works on display, many of which have never before been exhibited outside Vietnam, are drawn from the country’s leading museums in Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Ha Noi, Hue and Dong Nai. “We aim to introduce Vietnamese art and culture to an American audience,” says San Francisco-based independent curator Dr Nancy Tingley. She adds: “Most people in the US are unfamiliar with Vietnamese history prior to the 20th century and associate the country primarily with the Vietnam War.” The Houston museum’s in-house curator for the exhibition, Christine Starkman, adds: “People are familiar with Chinese, Indian and, to a certain degree, Korean art, but Vietnamese art is still a bit of mystery and we hope to change this.” The exhibition will show that Vietnam was a central hub for exchange between Asia and the West from as early as the first millennium BC. The 110 sculptures, bronzes, terracottas and jewellery on display originated from countries including India and China and places as far west as Rome. “As the exhibition develops, visitors will see an increase in material goods and exchange of ideas between countries,” says Tingley. The display is divided chronologically into sections. The first is entitled “Early Cultures” and covers the country’s first “Golden Age” from 1000 BC to the second century AD when the Sa Huynh and Dong Son civilisations dominated the landscape in the centre/south and north respectively. Most of what remains from this period are grave goods such as large funerary jars, ornamental bronze drums, axes and beads. The next section concentrates on the Fu Nan people who inhabited the Mekong River Delta in the southwestern part of the country from the first to eighth centuries AD. The seafaring Champa people are explored in the third section. From the fifth to the 15th century this kingdom flourished, controlling the highly profitable spice trade in Southeast Asia. Cham objects on display include sculpture and metalwork from Indonesia, Butuan and India. The final section covers the 12th to the 15th centuries and concentrates on the ceramic trade in the port of Hoi An. Several of the works on display have been unearthed within the past two decades. “Vietnam is incredibly rich in cultural remains. There are at least 75 archaeological excavations every year, which is an extraordinary amount of digs for a country of its size,” notes Tingley. Some of the most interesting objects come from a shipwreck excavated in the 1990s off the coast of Cu Lao Cham Island in the central province of Quang Nam. Archaeologists discovered a cache of 150,000 to 200,000 ceramic pieces. This find illustrates not only the varied types of ceramics produced in Vietnam, but also the obvious demand for these wares. The exhibition will travel to the Asia Society in New York (2 February-2 May 2010). Emily Sharpe

For her first solo museum show in the US, Korean artist Haegue Yang will install one of her newest works, Yearning Melancholy Red, 2008, co-produced by the Walker and the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT), Los Angeles, where it was shown last year. For the piece, walls of custom-built white venetian blinds are suspended from the gallery ceiling around Plexiglas mirrors, infra-red heat lamps, fans and circling theatre lights to create shifting optical effects. The artist, who is representing Korea at the Venice Biennale, will also be working at the Walker later this year as its artist-in-residence. Another work, Series of Vulnerable Arrangements—Blind Room, 2006/2007, was shown at the Walker in 2007 as part of an exhibition of emerging international artists, “Brave New Worlds”, and was subsequently purchased by the museum for its collection. This show also includes photographs, works on paper and sculptures. H.S.

The China Institute unveils a glance of China that has never before been seen in the US. Unlike most Chinese contemporary art’s tendency toward the glamorous and commercial, the new documentary photography exhibit will feature photographs from 1951 through 2003 that present intimate portraits of rural and urban daily life in China, beyond the glossy veneer of the economic boom. This exhibit will feature Dr Jerome Silbergeld’s (Professor of Chinese Art History, Princeton University) selected 100 photographs by more than 80 photographers, a version that narrows the original exhibit organized by the Guangdong Museum of Art which contained 600 images by 248 photographers, the first large-scale collection of photography acquired permanently by any museum in China. From photographs of a tragic husband remembering a deceased wife and a fearful crowd of victims fleeing the floodwaters to an elated lottery-winner displaying his wads of cash, the exhibit’s themes span the vast array of human emotions that is present in daily life. The Director of China Institute Gallery, Willow Hai Chang, notes, “The medium and language of photography provide an exceptional opportunity to foster a dialogue, enhancing communication and understanding about everyday life in China.”

The Lost World of Old Europe brings to the US for the first time more than 160 objects recovered by archaeologists from the graves, towns, and villages of Old Europe, a cycle of related cultures that achieved a precocious peak of sophistication and creativity in what is now southeastern Europe between 5000 and 4000 BC, and then mysteriously collapsed by 3500 BC.

The first comprehensive exhibition of 18th-century Chinese artist Luo Ping organised in the US. The exhibition includes a loan of around 60 works from China, as well as a smaller selection of pieces from American collections. One of the highlights of the show is the handscroll Ghost Amusements, around 1766, depicting a haunted world of ghosts that the artist claimed he could see. Luo created the images by first wetting the paper before painting on it with ink, resulting in blurred, phantom-like figures. H.S.

This year saw important developments in the field of Middle Eastern contemporary art, as established and up-and-coming artists from the region followed in the footsteps of their Chinese and Russian counterparts in capturing the attention of international collectors and sellers. Charles Saatchi stamped a seal of approval on the field with his exhibition “Unveiled: New Art from the Middle East”. Amid the furore, the voice of Palestinian artists is rising. This month, for the first time, the territories will be represented at the 53rd Venice Biennale in an exciting exhibition that, according to curator Salwa Mikdadi, “underscores the chronic impermanence faced by Palestinian artists”. Within this context, the exhibition at the Institut du monde arabe (IMA) could not be more timely. For 20 years, the IMA has sought to convey the importance and breadth of contemporary Arab art, becoming a crucial platform between two cultures. This show brings together the work of 19 artists, men and women, across generations, working in varying techniques, living and locally or abroad, who commune in a Palestinian aesthetic forged in exile and displacement. Taysir Batniji and Khalil Rabah, two artists who are showing in Venice, explore these themes respectively in a series of 26 photographs, Miradors, 2008 and United States of Palestine Airlines, London Office, 2007, and Mona Hatoum is represented by Every Door a Wall, 2003, which describes through silkscreen the plight of illegal immigrants smuggled inside a truck. The media – from drawings and paintings, photography, video and installation art – mix with ease, and in the breadth of the curatorial choice, we are provided with an interesting overview of the state of Palestinian art in the 21st century.

As only the second contemporary artist to show works at the Château de Versailles following the Jeff Koons exhibition of 2008, French artist Xavier Veilhan has a hard act to follow in terms of impact. Unlike Koons, who placed existing works within the palace, Paris-based Veilhan is showing seven specially commissioned sculptural pieces in the manicured gardens. Works include a series of statues of famous architects—including Claude Parent, Richard Rogers, Norman Foster, Jean Nouvel and Tadao Ando—a 100-metre-high fountain in the middle of the Grand Canal that pays homage to Constantin Brancusi’s Endless Column sculpture of 1938, and a violet-coloured carriage and horses frozen in motion in the Court of Honour. Rosie Spencer “‘Veilhan Versailles’ is a stroll, an itinerary, a journey through the landscape-territory of Versailles,” says Laurent Le Bon, the exhibition organiser. “Mainly running along the east-west axis outside the château itself, my proposal features a series of works specially produced for this occasion that create a contemporary dotted line which splits in two the masterly garden lay-out of Le Nôtre,” says Veilhan.
