ARTS Art Happenings Pop Art, site installations and the latest in the Art Basel franchise: This season’s best shows are all over the map. BY T ED LOOS I “David Bowie is” n the old days, a traveler’s options for looking at fine art were limited to a few old museums in the biggest cities. But in the last decade, the game has changed significantly. Those traditional museums expanded their facilities and their hours, and galleries sprung up seemingly out of nowhere. Art fairs, biennials and assorted other artistic happenings came to new places and thrived. Now the challenge for visitors is to winnow down the options to the very best. The following list features our choices for the standout art exhibitions and events from around the globe this season. VICTORIA & ALBERT MUSEUM, LONDON MARCH 23–JULY 28 The V&A has been at the forefront of pushing the boundaries of what constitutes a museum exhibit for years, and they’ve done it again with this Bowie show, treating the great musician and performer as worthy of study. Mostly drawn from Bowie’s own archive, the exhibition will feature his outrageous costumes and handwritten lyrics, video and movie clips of him in action, as well as photography and set designs. It’s sure to be out of this world; Ziggy Stardust would be proud. vac.ac.uk If your taste runs to collecting, these Christie’s auctions are noteworthy.
