GOYA: THE WITCHES AND OLD WOMEN ALBUM

26 February – 25 May 2015
The Courtauld Gallery
London

This major exhibition reunites all the surviving drawings from the Witches and Old Women Album for the first time, offering a fascinating and enlightening view of a very private and personal Goya.

Drawn in the last decade of his life, the album was never meant to be seen beyond a small circle of friends. Goya gave free rein to his creativity, inventing extraordinary images that range from the humorous to the sinister and the macabre.

In this exhibition visitors are invited to discover the private world of Goya’s boundless imagination, expressed through visions and nightmares, superstitions, and the problems of old age. Above all the drawings reveal Goya’s penetrating observation of human nature: our fears, weaknesses and desires.

Carlos Amorales

Carlos Amorales lives and works in Mexico City and has shown internationally including MUCA in Mexico City, Manifesta 9, Berlin Biennial 8, Tate Modern and Liverpool Biennial. His film The Man Who Did All Things Forbidden was commissioned for the Berlin Biennial 8 in 2014. This will be its first showing in the UK.

Exploring questions of concealment and identity, Carlos Amorales works with film, drawing, painting and performance. The current exhibition at At Art Exchange focuses on his latest film which follows the contradictory impulses of a man who did all things forbidden. Stylistically strikingly, with strong visual imagery and use of sound, as much is implied as said in this captivating film.

Professor Adès is a Fellow of the British Academy, a former trustee of Tate, Professor of the History of Art at the Royal Academy and was awarded a CBE in 2013 for her services to art history. She has been responsible for some of the most important exhibitions in London and overseas over the past thirty years, including Dada and Surrealism Reviewed, Art in Latin America and Francis Bacon. Most recently she organised the highly successful exhibition to celebrate the centenary of Salvador Dalí at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice (2004) The Colour of my Dreams: The Surrealist Revolution in Art, at the Vancouver Art Gallery (2011), and was Associate Curator for Manifesta 9 (2012) . She has published standard works on photomontage, Dada, Surrealism, women artists and Mexican muralists.

Gloria Ceballos: Nature a Cultural Artefact

This exhibition focuses on Gloria Ceballos’s continuing study into our relationship with nature.

As city inhabitants our experiences of nature are restricted to parks, gardens and other green areas: “cultured nature”. We call green spaces a natural environment, when in reality they are spaces controlled by man. In our aim to control everything, nature is classified, organised, designed, and theorised. The focus of Ceballos’s latest series of work is the concept of “three natures” , a concept created by Cicero and later developed by landscape theorist John Dixon Hunt.

Coypel’s Don Quixote Tapestries: Illustrating a Spanish Novel in Eighteenth-Century France: Frick Collection, New York

Coypel’s Don Quixote Tapestries: Illustrating a Spanish Novel in Eighteenth-Century France
Exhibition, The Frick Collection, New York
25 February 2015 – 17 May 2015

Charles Coypel (1694−1752), painter to Louis XV, created a series of twenty-eight paintings (also called cartoons) to be woven into tapestries by the Gobelins manufactory in Paris. Twenty-seven were painted between 1714 and 1734, with the last scene realized just before Coypel’s death in 1751. In 2015 (the 400th anniversary of the publication of the second volume of Don Quixote), the Frick will bring together a complete series of Coypel’s scenes, which will be shown in the Oval Room and East Gallery.
The exhibition will include five of Coypel’s original paintings, never before seen in New York, on loan from the Palais Impérial de Compiègne and the Musée Jacquemart-André, Paris. These will be joined by three Gobelins tapestry panels from the J. Paul Getty Museum and two Flemish tapestries inspired by Coypel from The Frick Collection, which have not been on view in more than ten years. The series is completed by eighteen prints and books from the Hispanic Society of America, New York.

Real Animals! Princely Menageries: Innsbruck

Echt tierisch! Die Menagerie des Fürsten / Real Animals! Princely Menageries
Forthcoming exhibition.

Where: Schloss Ambras, Innsbruck
When: Opens 18 June 2015
Schloss Ambras Innsbruck holds special annual exhibitions focusing on art and cultural historical themes related to the founder of the Ambras collections, the Habsburg Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol (1529-1595), to which 50,000 national and international guests attend.
The 2015 exhibition centres on the importance of animals and gardens at royal courts in the 16th and 17th century, especially the menageries in Portugal, Spain, Austria, Italy and Southern Germany.
At the Habsburg courts and those of other princes – like the Medici in Florence and the Wittelsbach in Munich -, birds, elegant dogs and horses cavorted, as did wild exotica that had traveled great distances. This exhibition highlights not only the acquisition and importance of these animals as objects of prestige and as specimens of natural history, but also their portrayal in art. The impact of naturalia, such as ivory, bezoar stones and rhinoceros horn which entered princely Kunstkammers as rarities, will also be thematised. On display are precious kunstkammer objects, paintings, drawings and engravings, among them extraordinary animals studies and portraits by Albrecht Dürer, Giuseppe Arcimboldo and Georg Hoefnagel.
100+ objects will be on show, including loans from the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Albertina of Vienna, the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, and the Maximilianmuseum in Augsburg.

Also visit the Schloss Ambras’s magnificent Spanish Hall.Also visit the Schloss Ambras’s magnificent Spanish Hall.
