Global Warning: Martin Parr / Jeu de Paume
Martin Parr passed away a few months ago, leaving behind an impressive body of work spanning fifty years. His flashy, color-saturated images were never neutral: they compel us to notice and to wonder — is this really the world we live in? Organized in thematic chapters, from wild shopping to vacationing, technology and (bad) taste, we wander from room to room and realize that Parr’s point of view was never cynical but, in its own eccentric way, benevolent and sympathetic.

Galloping into Spring: Year of the Horse / Shanghai Museum
As we celebrate China’s Lunar New Year, we discover a refined tribute to the Year of the Horse in a curated exhibition worth visiting.

Beatriz Milhazes: Pinturas Nômades / Museu de Arte do Rio
What is life if not an endless balancing act between order and chaos, between planned actions and flights of fancy? Recently on show at White Cube in London, the richly layered abstractions of Milhazes are now assembled in her native land. Drawing on Brazilian ornament, rhythm and modernist legacy, her canvases go beyond colorful patchworks: they evoke the patterns of life itself, where repetition, variation and intuition mirror lived experience. Bold, sophisticated, unmistakably Brazilian.

Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art / Victoria and Albert Museum
Fashionistas might recall the “Lobster” dress worn by Anna Wintour at the Met Gala, a gorgeous number designed by Miuccia Prada specifically for the exhibition Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations. Schiap, as her friends used to call her, was a free-spirited genius who saw fashion as a playground for fun, injecting a surrealist streak into her creations. This is the first major UK retrospective devoted to her work, made up of radical silhouettes, collaborations with Salvador Dalí and surrealist couture crafted from silk, embroidery and imagination.
From March 2026

Art in Los Angeles
Frieze Los Angeles has just closed its doors with an edition that was less about spectacle than atmosphere. Once again, it felt like a conversation with the city rather than a transplant of the global fair circuit. In this spirit, the City of Angels welcomes many interesting, forward-looking exhibitions. Our friends at Phillips present Beachers, a series of paintings by acclaimed Cuban-born artist Diango Hernández. The title derives from playeros, a term in Cuba that describes a deep, enduring attachment to the beach. The paintings explore water, with recurring motifs of waves and distortions, as a metaphor for memory, movement and contemplation: the beach is no longer a backdrop but a place of lived experience. (Full disclosure: Invisible Collection debuts a year-long residency at Phillips with a curation of collectible design.) Reflecting the city’s cultural energy and diversity, LACMA presents The Day Tomorrow Began, a sweeping, immersive exhibition by Bahamian artist Tavares Strachan exploring erased histories and speculative futures. The monumental installations invite us to reconsider who we remember, and why. Visually striking, intellectually ambitious.
Magdalena Abakanowicz, La trame de l’existence / Musée Bourdelle
Somewhat obscured by their male counterparts, women artists have struggled for centuries to gain the full attention they deserve. All the more laudable, then, that the lovely yet humble Musée Bourdelle has embarked on this fascinating retrospective devoted to one of the most remarkable Polish artists and a pioneer of weaving as an art form. Magdalena Abakanowicz’s works explore the fragility and resilience of the human condition. Through woven forms and repeated figures, she reflects on existence, memory and collective experience — themes that resonate powerfully within the storied setting of the museum.

Architecture for Culture: Rethinking Museums / Rizzoli
By Béatrice Grenier
In a seminal article written by Francesco Bonami over a quarter century ago, he envisioned the role of museums as the ultimate resorts for new forms of leisure and entertainment. He wasn’t completely wrong. The question today is how to safeguard, rethink and reinterpret the museum — one of the most important cultural typologies of recent decades. Through historical and contemporary examples, the author shows why museums remain essential as repositories of knowledge, urban landmarks and laboratories for cultural policy, architecture and public life. A fascinating reflection on beautiful architecture and mass culture.
Oscar Night / Dolby Theatre
Maybe the number of viewers has fallen over the years, and maybe Oscar night isn’t as hyped as it was in the past century. However, the ritual of leaning back in a plush, custom-made sofa, enjoying some live glam while rooting for a favorite movie and/or leading role, is still special. Our vote goes to “One Battle After Another.” Tougher choice when it comes to Best Actress: both Emma Stone and Jessie Buckley are fantastic.
Sunday, March 15, 2026. The 98th Oscars® ceremony will be televised live on ABC and in more than 200 territories worldwide.
Bonus Track
Yes, miracles still happen, and we can still have an epiphany at a concert house: Meet Yunchan Lim, a piano prodigy from South Korea who swept us off our feet with a fantastic interpretation of the Goldberg Variations. Just released by Decca Records, his performance live at Carnegie Hall is a must. Fresh yet profound, and full of life… Could he be the new Glenn Gould?
