Forget the checklist. This fall, art isn’t just something you see—it’s something you feel. Across Europe, three exhibitions invite you to step into obsession, imagination, and intimacy. Whether you’re craving mirrored infinity, surrealist resistance, or pastel stillness, these shows offer more than visuals. They offer emotional texture.
🎨 Basel – Yayoi Kusama at Fondation Beyeler
Switzerland’s first Kusama retrospective is a full-spectrum dive into repetition, cosmic play, and the beauty of obsession.
- Infinity Mirror Rooms that distort space and self
- Early works that reveal vulnerability beneath pattern
- New pieces that shimmer with quiet rebellion
This isn’t just a show—it’s a portal.

🎨 Milan – Leonora Carrington at Palazzo Reale
Italy’s first solo exhibition of the surrealist ecofeminist is a dreamer’s manifesto.
- Mythic creatures and feminist allegories
- Exile and imagination rendered in oil and ink
- A surrealist lens on resistance, rebirth, and the feminine psyche
Carrington doesn’t paint answers—she paints questions.
🎨 London – Wayne Thiebaud at The Courtauld Gallery
The UK’s first museum show of the American still life icon turns cakes and counters into emotional landscapes.
- Pastel palettes that soothe and stir
- Ordinary objects elevated to sacred status
- Color theory as emotional language
Thiebaud’s work is proof that softness can be radical.

💌 Why These Three?
Because they’re not just exhibitions. They’re emotional itineraries. They ask you to feel deeply, look slowly, and leave changed.
