2023 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the death of art titan Pablo Picasso and, appropriately, pretty much the entire city of Madrid is paying tribute. From sprawling exhibitions at the Reina Sofia and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums to displays that put Picasso's art in conversation with other Spanish art giants El Greco (at the Prado) and Velázquez (at the Casa de Velázquez), ready yourself for an all-out Picasso feast.
All years are great years for art – but 2023 is set to be even more spectacular than most. Wherever you are in the world, from Tokyo and Paris to London and New York, each city has its own stacked schedule of exhibitions and shows. We’ll see vast retrospectives, triumphant first-time solo shows, eagerly-anticipated displays (still) delayed by the pandemic and much, much more. From all that, here are our highlights: 2023’s must-see exhibitions, all over the world.
