Mindboggling Magritte, artists respond to a world in peril and a squished Citroën – the week in art
The week’s art news highlights exhibitions exploring surrealism, ecological crisis, South Asian history and contemporary sculpture. Major shows include responses to René Magritte, Rachel Kneebone’s porcelain works at the Wallace Collection, and artists addressing threats to the natural world.
Other notable events include Gabriel Orozco’s retrospective, a bee-inspired installation by Luke Jerram in east London, and Amar Kanwar’s films on India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The article also recommends a 17th-century Dutch painting at the National Gallery and corrects an earlier error identifying Magritte as French rather than Belgian.
