The ’80s are Back at the Powerhouse Museum
... ’80s Are Back exhibit.
If you were born in the decade or look back on it fondly, you’re going to love this. From the moment you enter the exhibition’s tunnel, with its pop songs blaring, you know you’re in for a good time.
There really is something for everyone here. As a music buff I drooled over Boy George’s canary yellow suit, Michael Jackson’s glove, and yes I confess, 1927’s ARIA for …ish. It may not be so iconic, but my inner fangirl was just as impressed.
Meanwhile...

Coming up – Moctezuma
... American ones, too, as a recent visit to the galleries showed me.
This autumn, you’ll get a double dose of ancient America as the Moctezuma exhibition goes on show. (There were already a few gaps in the Aztec collections when I went round last week – the exhibits have headed off to their temporary home.)
Moctezuma II was the last Aztec emperor, reigning from 1502 to 1520. (That’s about the same time as the young Henry VIII – a king who had a much longer innings, though,...

Rembrandt’s Complete Works in Amsterdam
For the first time ever all works of Rembrandt are brought together in one exhibition.
Rembrandt is best known for de Nachtwacht (Night Watch), a huge painting which was even bigger before the sides were chopped off. It did not fit the allocated space in the Town Hall, now the Royal Palace, on Dam Square.
He is the master of chiaroscuro, light and shade which makes his paintings mysterious. He painted many self portraits which show how he developed from a young man into an old man. The last one he...

Edinburgh’s Artist Rooms – Another Great Art Exhibition
It seems like every month there is another great arts exhibition going in the city somewhere. This month is no different, with the Artist Rooms display at the National Galleries. The four artists on display are Vija Celmins, Ellen Gallagher, Damien Hirst, Alex Katz, Andy Warhol and Francesca Woodman.

Venice in London – Sickert paintings at the Dulwich gallery

His series of studies of San Marco have been compared to Monet’s studies of Rouen cathedral. They’re all at dusk, when the sun falls on the western facade, but they’re all at different phases of dusk, with different light and colour.
But as Sickert got to know Venice he seems to have exhausted the ‘tourist...
