"Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers" at the National Gallery, London in January. An impressive exhibition of his work.

Missed it, had a ticket but was unwell on the day. From that photo it doesn't look too crowded which is what I feared

The Rock and Roll Public Library. Central London. Basically the contents of Mick Jones of the Clash’s lock up or garage. Hand written lyrics, old clothes, fanzines and flyers from the 70s. Interesting if you’re an old punk!

It was fairly crowded, but the galleries were big enough to accommodate everyone

Damn, missed it!

Not an old punk, just old and would have loved to have seen this nostalgia rush.

Was a strange one, not a lot of information as to what was on display but anyone who saw the Clash in ‘77 or ‘78 would recognise this!

Noah Davis at the Barbican Art Gallery

My introduction to Davis although I feel I may have seen his work in group shows. Very thoughtfully curated, some outstanding paintings and a very sad story.

Picasso at CMA through April. We're members, so we went twice, mostly pencil, the feature of the show. Although they peppered other masterpieces in there that CMA already acquisitioned, it really was a great showcase. Great space, great exhibition. I'd upload some pictures I took, but I have to format them to post here.

I saw a similar show in London a few years ago, it too was really good

Takashi Murakami. Me and my wife just went to his exhibition at CMA, a few weeks ago. Wow. You like modern Japanese art meets Pokémon, you're in for a treat! Truly, one of the coolest and most unique exhibits I've ever seen. Dude was there, but didn't get to meet him.

Saw an interesting focused exhibit (in Montreal) on Berthe Weill who was an important art dealer in Paris who helped launch the careers of Picasso and Modigliani, among others.  The exhibit features many of the paintings that passed through her gallery.  https://www.mbam.qc.ca/en/exhibitions/berthe-weill/

The exhibit runs through Sept. 7 or so in Montreal and then heads over to Paris this fall.

Here in Toronto there is a new exhibit at the AGO on Joyce Wieland.  https://ago.ca/exhibitions/joyce-wieland-heart

There is also a very focused exhibit of woodblock prints by Naoko Matsubara, which just opened at the AGO.  https://ago.ca/exhibitions/naoko-matsubara

I haven't managed to get over there yet to see it, but I will in the next week or so.

I hope you noted they are closed for the next two weeks.

BTW - simply take your wife to the exhibition like I did.
