“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.
