JEFF KOONS | THE PAINTER & THE SCULPTOR
Turning their attention to an artist who has been setting trends in the art world since the 1980's, Frankfurt's SCHIRN and the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung are simultaneously exhibiting works by Jeff Koons this month. While deliberately separating sculpture and painting, the two spaces will present each in its own context. On view through September 23. Click here for details >>

Londoners, stop by Margaret Street Gallery for Seeing and Feeling, an exhibition of works by 88-year-old Lithuanian-born photographer and skilled portrait artist Dorothy Bohm. Having taken pictures for over 70 years, Bohn has a knack for encapsulating the essence of every day life, deeply aware of the vulnerability of human existence. Click here to read more >>
