This year marks the 150th birthday of Edvard Munch. One of the highlights of this anniversary is the exhibition "Munch on paper", which presents Edvard Munch´s diverse and rich oeurvre of works on paper.
Besides presenting key images, the exhibition will also show more or less unknown works and curiosities which give fascinating insights into Edvard Munch´s life and work, says the Sture Portvik, press officer of the Munch Museum.

La Mairie de Canet de Mar organise l'exposition "Empreintes" à la Casa museu Lluís Domènech i Montaner, où l´architecte avait son cabinet et sa résidence d´été, dans le but de faire découvrir les liens entre l´artiste moderniste et cette commune du Maresme, où il laissa une partie de son œuvre.

On the occasion of the 130th birthday of Franz von Zülow, an artist shaped by a fashionable inclination toward rural life and the reflection of rural heritage, works on paper from the MAK collection and the artist´s estate will be exhibited. Von Zülow did his training at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna, where he already created illustrations and designs for the Wiener Werkstätte. Active in many areas, Zülow designed textile patterns, carpets, ceramics, and interiors and developed new graphic techniques. His most important achievements in this area are the monthly pen-in-ink-drawn notebooks produced in a paper-cut stencil printing process from 1909 to 1915, subscribed to by artists such as Hoffmann, Klimt, and Schiele. Clearly evident in these works is his decorative, Jugendstil- derived surface art, which he combined with folk art inspirations. Arising at the same time were stage-like watercolors and scenic picture books along the lines of a diorama in expressive style.

As part of the bookseries MAK Studies, a catalogue will be published in conjunction with the exhibition.

Les questions existentielles de la vie et la mort se retrouvent dans toute l´œuvre du peintre Albin Egger-Lienz (1868-1926), un des plus importants pionniers de l´Expressionnisme autrichien, à qui Le Belvedere consacrera une exposition au printemps 2014. Les peintures de guerre de l´artiste sont des avertissements impressionnants en souvenir des horreurs de la guerre et de la violence.

Throughout the five boroughs are more than 200 long-overlooked marvels of engineering and architectural beauty-the interlocking tile vaults built by Spanish immigrants Rafael Guastavino, Sr. (1842-1908), and his son, Rafael Jr. (1872-1950). The system of structural tile vaults developed by the Guastavinos-lightweight, fireproof, low-maintenance, and capable of supporting significant loads-was used by leading architects of the day, including McKim, Mead & White and Carrere &Hastings. Ellis Island´s Registry Room, Carnegie Hall, the Bronx Zoo´s Elephant House, and Grand Central Terminal all contain Guastavino vaults.

>Palaces for the People: Guastavino and the Art of Structural Tile is a major exhibition exploring the innovations the Guastavino Fireproof Construction Company (1889-1962) brought to the science and art of building. It was originally organized by MIT´s John Ochsendorf, who is a MacArthur Fellow; it is substantially expanded here to include some 20 key Guastavino spaces in the five boroughs.

On display the rich unpublished material stored by the artist's family in Torre Pellice. The exhibition is the first monographic exhibition held in Rome since 1938.
