Liverpool, England
René Magritte
through October 16, 2011
"René Magritte (1898-1967) is one of the most revered and popular artists of the 20th century. This summer, Tate Liverpool presents René Magritte: The Pleasure Principle, the biggest exhibition of the Belgian surrealist's work in England for twenty years. Renowned for witty images depicting everyday objects such as apples, bowler hats and pipes in unusual settings, Magritte's art plays with the idea of reality and illusion." - Tate Liverpool

Robert Henri & Ireland: From New York to Corrymore
September 23, 2011 - January 15, 2012
"Long celebrated as the leader of the urban realists group known as "the Ashcan School," Henri's art has received less attention than one might expect. Robert Henri and Ireland is the first exhibition to present one of the most significant group of works that Henri produced: those inspired by his travels to Ireland. By bringing approximately 50 paintings of Irish subject matter drawn from public and private collections, co-curators Jonathan Stuhlman and Valerie Leeds will clarify the nature and significance of the contribution Henri made to American art as a result of his being and painting in Ireland." - Georgia O'Keeffe Museum
