Another captivating exhibition is “The Equator Has Moved” at the Dia: Beacon in New York. Renée Green’s multifarious art delves into historical oddities, mining them for all they’re worth.

Anselm Kiefer – Sag mir wo die Blumen sind
For Germanophiles, the Anselm Kiefer retrospective at the Stedelijk Museum and Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam promises to be a monumental show.
