Venice, Italy - This exhibition celebrating the 500th anniversary of Palladio’s birth tells the story of a remarkable life and attempts to solve a mystery: how did a humble miller’s son become the most renowned world architect in the last five centuries? The story is told in unique ‘film stills’, i.e. the works brought together from over eighty European museums and libraries by an international team of scholars from Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and the United States.

Modern Photographs ~ The Machine, the Body and the City ~ at Parrish Art Museum
Southampton, NY - This exhibition traces the evolution of photography in the 20th and 21st centuries, from early Pictorialist works that mimic the moodiness of late 19th-century painting, through the Modern formal experimentations of the Constructivist and Bauhaus schools, to the documentary ethos of mid-century America and the large-scale, staged tableaux of our own time. As indicated by its title, the exhibition also examines three prominent themes highlighted by the selection: depictions of the metropolis, modern machinery, and the human figure. On view at the Parrish Art Museum though 30 November, 2008.

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) presents 'Van Gogh and the Colors of the Night'
NEW YORK.- The Museum of Modern Art, in collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, presents Van Gogh and the Colors of the Night, the first exhibition to examine Vincent van Gogh’s lyrical view of the night through nocturnal interiors and landscapes, which he often combined with other longstanding themes of his art—peasant life, sowers, wheatfields, and the encroachment of modernity on the rural scene. This exhibition includes 23 paintings and 10 works on paper from all periods of Van Gogh’s career, as well as a selection of his letters and examples of the rich literary sources that influenced the artist’s work in this area by writers such as Hans Christian Andersen, Jules Michelet, and Emile Zola. It will be on view at MoMA through January 5, 2009, and then it travels to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, where it will be on view February 13 to June 7, 2009.
