Having posted a new opening date for the Cézanne/Kandinsky show at Carrieres de Lumieres (May 1st), then listened to the French Prime Minister who could only forecast a general re-opening for mid May, I thought I’d check the Les Baux website and, sure enough, the ‘1st’ has been removed.
It really must be a nightmare for arts organisations right now who are managing in such uncertainty and with Covid numbers still high locally.
So here is my list of forthcoming shows which seem to be teed up, ready to roll with all possible safety-measures, just waiting for the signal ‘GO’.
Hotel Caumont, Aix: 90 works by Zao Wou-ki
Sm’Art, Aix: contemporary art fair, hopes to go ahead 17-21 June
Musee Granet, Aix: will re-open, when allowed, with current Egyptian expo. The David Hockney show has been postponed for calmer times
Fondation Van Gogh, Arles: 7 paintings from Van Gogh and contemporaries including ‘Les Pissenlits, painted in Arles; now showing 19 June start
Vieux Charité, Marseille: Surrealism in American Art
MuCEM, Marseille: Works by Jeff Koons together with items he has chosen from the collection
Avignon, Musee Angladon: Man Ray
Avignon, Palais des Papes, Collection Lambert: Yan Pei-Ming
Keep an eye on the various websites for shows you are keen to see!
