The Petit Palais is presenting for the first time a selection of close to 150 pastels from its own collection. The exhibition offers an exhaustive overview of the main artistic currents of the second half of the 19th-century, from Impressionism to Symbolism.

From the tradition of flower painting to the aesthetic breaks of modernity, the exhibition highlights the rich artistic, aesthetic and friendly exchanges between Dutch and French painters, from the reign of Napoleon to the early twentieth century.

The conference has been organized by The Ghent University and the European Society for Nineteenth-Century Art (ESNA), in cooperation with the University of Antwerp and the Museum of Fine Arts, Ghent

The inaugural temporary exhibition aims to put Casa Vicens in an international context with a view of single-family homes designed by Gaudí?s most important contemporaries: the timeline of these figures begins with Viollet-le-Duc and William Morris, who were key in Gaudí?s training, and then moves to great American architects from the first generation of the Modern Architecture movement (Richardson, Sullivan and Wright), European architects of the same generation (Berlage, Wagner and others), and finishes up with various expressions of Art Nouveau (Horta, Guimard, Mackintosh and Olbirch).

This exhibition will present masterpieces of the Arts & Crafts movement, which arose in Great Britain around 1880. It was a movement born from ideals, the concern for the effects of industrialisation in design, know-how and everyday life. It advocated a reactivation of traditional arts and crafts, a return to a simpler way of life and an improvement in the design of ordinary domestic objects. Its maximum ideologist was the artist and writer William Morris (1834-1896).

Egon Schiele (1890-1918), Gunter Brus (* 1938) and Thomas Palme (* 1967) - three enfants terribles of their respective generations.

An exhibition that brings us an in-depth look at the ground-breaking figures of modern dance through seven choreographers and dancers: Isadora Duncan, Loïe Fuller, Josephine Baker, Tórtola Valencia, Mary Wigman, Martha Graham, and Doris Humphrey. The exhibit thus vindicates the role of these historic pioneers who believed in the need to create new forms of expression and liberate the female body, challenging social conventions and the rigid canon of Romantic ballet.

Dedicated to this revolutionary Viennese architect, the exhibition sets out to explore notions of domestic and private spaces in the aesthetic thinking of Adolf Loos against the literary, architectural and philosophical backdrop of early 20th-century Vienna.

The installation includes objects from distinguished collections of glass, notably a group of works from the London Victoria and Albert Museum.

The independent states that make up the Baltic countries, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, were established just after the end of the First World War. To celebrate this centenary, this exhibition presents Baltic Symbolism from the 1890s to the end of the 1920s.

The exhibition "WOW! The Heidi Horten Collection" is the first public presentation of one of the most impressive European private collections. The presentation at the Leopold Museum fulfils the collector's long-cherished wish to make the masterpieces meticulously collected by her since the 1990s by artists from Gustav Klimt to Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst accessible to a wide audience. Featuring more than 150 works from 100 years of art history, the presentation affords individual insights into the spectrum of art and artists united by Heidi Goess-Horten under one roof. The largest groups of works are those of Expressionism and American Pop Art. On display will be works by Marc Chagall, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Paul Klee, Gustav Klimt, August Macke, Franz Marc, Henri Matisse, Joan Miro, Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, Egon Schiele, Francis Bacon, Georg Baselitz, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jean Dubuffet, Lucio Fontana, Lucian Freud, Damien Hirst, Alex Katz, Yves Klein, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Gerhard Richter, Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol and many others.

Propriété Caillebotte has been able to gather together more than one hundred and sixty symbolist works by some fifty French and European artists thanks to a private French collection. These artists, who span two generations, never formed a movement and only remained true to their own sensibilities, open "The Gateway of Dreams" for us.

2018 is the 150th anniversary of the birth of celebrated Glasgow architect, designer and artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928). Glasgow Museums is celebrating this significant anniversary with a major new temporary exhibition, one of the key events in the city-wide Mackintosh 2018 programme.

The installation "Charles Rennie Mackintosh: Making the Glasgow Style" spans the lifetime of the artist and takes a chronological and thematic narrative. Placing Mackintosh at the core of the story, it presents his work in the context of Glasgow, his key predecessors, influences and contemporaries, particularly those working in the Glasgow Style.

Gustav Klimt is probably the artist most associated with Austrian art. His death in 1918 - the same year as the deaths of Egon Schiele, Koloman Moser, and Otto Wagner - is seen as the end of an era. However, their influence on the art world had waned even before this. Only peripherally affected by the political turmoil, a vibrant art scene developed in the countries of the Austro-Hungarian Empire with artists striving for change. The exhibition at the Lower Belvedere will guide you through this post-Klimt era.

The exhibition "Art Nouveau | New Objectivity | Delft" demonstrates that this important and innovative period in the cultural history of Delft is also of national and international significance. This Delft urge for innovation represents an important guiding principle in the Museum Prinsenhof Delft programming. It has previously resulted in the highly successful exhibitions of the work of modern Delft masters like Jan Schoonhoven (2015-2016) and Theo Jansen (2016-2017).

Le Cercle Guimard will once again be opening the doors of Hôtel Mezzara on 15 and 16 September as part of European Heritage Days. On this occasion, it is making use of some of its recent discoveries to stage the exhibition "Guimard and Avatars", whose main focus will be on Hector Guimard's creations in the field of ceramics and in particular his Chalmont planter and Cerny and Binelles vases, produced by the Sèvres Manufactory. The exhibition will also include popular versions of these models (with or without the agreement of the architect), such as those made by Fives-Lille.

The Fabergé Museum presents the International Academic Conference "Jewellery Art of the 19th and Early 20th Centuries" to be held from 20 to 22 September 2018.

This exhibition explores Otto Wagner's impact as the "father of modernism." The show demonstrates the context and the interactions between Wagner and other protagonists of early modernism as well as Wagner's influence on his contemporaries, students, and subsequent generations of architects and designers.

Otto Wagner (1841-1918) is one of the most significant architects of the turn of the twentieth century. His building projects-among them the City Railway (Wiener Stadtbahn), the Postal Savings Bank (Postsparkasse), and the Church at Steinhof-are regarded as milestones on the path from historicism to modernism.

Every summer, Fondation CIVA organises an exhibition with the theme "Unbuilt Brussels" presenting documents from its archives relating to architectural and urban projects that were never brought to fruition. This year, the exhibition is partly dedicated to Victor Horta, focusing mainly on his grand project to rebuild the block between the Palace of Fine Arts and the Central Station, and the Congo Pavilion designed for the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900.

This year's exhibition in Brtnice is dedicated to the relationship between Josef
Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, who died 100 years ago this year, and juxtaposes designs by these two protagonists of the Wiener Werkstätte.

This exhibition marking the 100th anniversary of the death of Gustav Klimt, who also passed away in 1918, honors THE protagonist of Viennese Modernism par excellence, who saw the Secession as a venue for the fight for spiritual and artistic modern art. His highly contested, allegorical Faculty Paintings, which were destroyed during the last days of war in 1945, were seen as a paradigm shift and a credo of a new thematic and formal notion of the fin-de-siècle: spirit and matter, nature and art, as well as Eros and Thanatos constituted the program of his artistic oeuvre. The pictorial works of the avant-gardist Klimt further express a longing for beauty and sensuality. Along with works from the holdings of the Leopold Museum and the Leopold family's private collection, the presentation will feature exhibits from the Klimt Foundation, works given to the museum as a permanent loan by a Klimt descendant as well as select international loans from private and institutional collections. Thus, the exhibition retraces Klimt's artistic evolution from an exponent of late Historicism towards one of the most eminent representatives of Viennese Jugendstil.

The presentation will include a selection of drawings, photographs, and sketches for objects ranging from windows to baptismal fonts, that reveal something of the creative processa t Tiffany?s firm.

This exhibition provides an intimate view of the innovator who built the artistic empire of Tiffany Studios, a man who found inspiration, for example, in farm scenes, children playing in the surf, and boats on the Hudson River.

105 years after the official inauguration of the Wolfers Frères jewellery store in 1912, visitors will once again be able to admire the shop in its original form. To do this, the Cinquantenaire museum has cleared a room of approximately the same shape and area as that originally foreseen by Victor Horta in the building in rue d?Arenberg in Brussels

The original rooms of the last studio of Gustav Klimt in the Feldmühlgasse, 11 in Hietzing, Vienna, were identified after scrupulous investigations and were restored to their historical condition - right down to the wall colours and surfaces.  The atelier revives the atmosphere and décor that must have prevailed in the studios from 1911 to 1918.  Furniture reconstruction in the waiting room and studios was carried out with reliance on photos by Moriz Nähr and available samples of furnishings (for example, carpets).  In other rooms of the atelier, various media - old newspapers, etc. - provide information about significant models and "clients" from this period of Klimt's creativity.

From 1911 until his death in 1918, Gustav Klimt painted some of his most important works in his studios in the Feldmühlgasse.  Though at that time it was a single-level cottage, in 1923 the owner renovated the house and turned it into a neo-Baroque villa.  That means, of course, that Klimt never saw the building as we see it today.  In spite of that, the house became known - by people in the neighborhood as well as by aficionados - as the "Klimt Villa."

It is the story of a shop unlike anything built nowadays. Over 100 years old, it is the last semi-industrial building designed by Victor Horta that is still in existence! During the first 70 years of its life, cloth and fabrics were sold there, as planned by Charles Waucquez.
Witness to the transformation of Brussels, in a district that is without doubt the one that had suffered most from 20th century progress, the shop closed in 1970, and thereafter experienced its most difficult years. Then new hopes, new projects appeared.
In 1984, the building was bought by the federal State, with the aim of establishing a museum devoted to comic strip.

Marlene Dumas is one of the most influential painters in contemporary art. She confronts and seduces us with her expressive figurative motifs. Taking on the role of curator for the first time, she presents us with Edvard Munch's art in dialogue with her own works.

The travelling exhibition "Modernisme and Flowers. From Nature to Architecture" focuses on how the decorative arts of Modernisme represented plants and flowers when used in construction. An exhibition is for the first time establishing a dialogue between the world of plants and Modernista architecture. The exhibition discourse has been divided into four areas. The first explains the creative process of artists when "capturing" the images of flowers. The second involves a journey through eight applied arts fields in architecture and their respective creation processes: ceramics, mosaics, ironwork, stonework, stucco, hydraulic mosaics, stained glass and plasterwork. The third offers an exhibition tour of flowers and plants that recreate a huge timeless garden. The exhibition concludes by looking at the difficulty of preserving the applied arts in construction.

The exhibition curators are Fatima López and Marta Saliné, both PhDs in Art History and members of the GRACMON research group at the University of Barcelona.

The exhibition "Toulouse-Lautrec and the Spirit of Montmartre" focuses on the artist's career during his time in Montmartre. A period in his life that he shared with Bohemian and Avant-Garde inspired artists and one that reflects a key moment in the development of modern art.

Art Nouveau was a very significant period for the creation of wallpaper and fabrics. Inside Art Nouveau buildings, both Victor Horta and his contemporaries gave meaning to the concept of total art and revolutionised the applied arts, abolishing the hierarchy between different forms of plastic art. Original motifs, complex craftwork... the exhibition restores this fragile heritage to the place it deserves in the history of forms.

2018 is the centenary of Egon Schiele's death (1890 - 1918). Marking this occasion, the Belvedere is showing its collection of Schiele paintings with highlights including Eduard Kosmack, Façade of a House, Death and Maiden, Embrace, and Four Trees. Visitors can look forward to an outstanding presentation shedding light on the full extent of the Schiele collection once housed at the Belvedere.

The Institut Mathindenhöhe Darmstadt celebrates the 150th birthday of Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse and Rhine with an exhibition in the Ernst Ludwig House, today's Artist's Colony Museum. The exhibition will feature the creative work of the multi-talented Grand Duke. This first-of-its-kind exhibition will present a multifaceted compilation of the grand Duke's poems, musical compositions, theatre plays, expressive watercolours, philanthropic projects, as well as public relations activities. Thus the exhibition will illustrate the often-quoted guiding principal of Ernst Ludwig: "Have reverence for the past and courage to freshly dare the new".

The Maricel Museum presents the central exhibition of the centenary of the Maricel. It is a portrait of the process of design and construction of a singular building, which at the time of its inauguration caused a significant impact in the cultural circles of Catalonia.

Elza Kastl Obereigner was born in Ljubljana on 26 April 1884. Although, generally best known for her portraits, in Ljubljana she was known as the "the last Slovenian miniaturist".  The temporary exhibition on show at the City Museum of Ljubljana is presenting her oeuvre in sculpture.
The accompanying catalogue of the exhibition is also available.

"Gauguin: A Spiritual Journey" is the first exhibition at FAMSF dedicated to the work of Paul Gauguin (1848-1903).
The show explores two themes central to his career: the relationships that shaped his life and work and his quest to understand spirituality, both his own and that of other cultures he encountered. More than sixty Gauguin works will be on view -ranging from oil paintings and works on paper to wood carvings and ceramics- alongside art of the Pacific Islands from the FAMSF collection. These works combined encompass distinctive phases of Gauguin's career to show the development of his ideas, the scope of his oeuvre and the inspiration he found in New Zealand, the Marquesas Islands and Tahiti.

On the centenary of the death of Koloman Moser (1868-1918), the MAK is hosting a large exhibition to showcase his wide-ranging oeuvre, which covers the disciplines of painting and graphic design, applied art, interior design, fashion, and scenography.

The National Museum in Kraków is commemorating the 110th anniversary of Stanis?aw Wyspianski 's death with an exhibition entitled "Wyspianski" that includes more than 900 works by this outstanding, multifaceted artist from Poland at the turn of the 20th century. Wyspianski was a major poet, painter, playwright, designer, illustrator, theatre reformer, graphic designer and set designer.

The exhibition entitled "Kraków 1900" presents the story of the city at the turn of the 20th century, a period known as Kraków's Belle Époque.

The National Gallery presents the first UK exhibition of Spain's Impressionist, Sorolla, in over a century.
Known as the "master of light" for his iridescent canvases, this is a rare opportunity to see the most complete exhibition of Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida's (1863-1923) paintings outside Spain.

This exhibition presents a wide and varied selection of paintings by Anglada-Camarasa in order to present his oeuvre from a personal, romantic perspective that recalls the layout of the Museum in Pollença. It provides a unique opportunity to learn more about the work of Anglada-Camarasa through a different exhibition approach from how the work has been shown in CaixaForum until now.
