Damien Hirst, Treasures From The Wreck Of The Unbelievable Palazzo Grassi, Punta della Dogana Venice, Italy April 9, 2017 to December 3, 2017 This exhibition marks the first time that both Venetian venues of the Pinault Collection will dedicate their spaces to a single artist. Moreover, this is the first major solo exhibition for British mega-artist Damien Hirst (b. 1965) in Italy since his 2004 retrospective at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples. The highly anticipated project has been in the making for 10 years, with only minimal information yet released, proving that the exhibition will be one to head to Venice for, especially since it’s sharing the city at the same time with the Venice Biennale.

Frank Lloyd Wright at 150: Unpacking the Archive Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) New York, New York June 12, 2017 to October 1, 2017

AVERY ARCHITECTURAL & FINE ARTS LIBRARY COLUMBIA UNIVERISTY, NEW YORK

Marking the 150th anniversary of the prolific American architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s (b. 1867, d. 1959) birth, Frank Lloyd Wright at 150: Unpacking the Archive offers an anthological approach to Wright’s work, with intentions of provoking critical discussions of his most prominent motifs. The exhibition will feature a variety of associated media from the 1890s to the 1950s, some of which is rarely shown in public, including architectural draw- ings, models, building fragments, films, print media, photographs and paintings, among others.
