The beginnings of digital art
What we now call digital art began in the mid-20th century, long before the advent of the PC (personal computer). Beginning February 12, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art will highlight the emergence of digital art in Coded: Art Enters the Computer Age, 1952-1982.
The creator of visual languages
Beginning February 11, the Art Institute in Chicago is focusing special attention on the Brazilian artist Lygia Papes: Lygia Papes: Tecelares, an exhibition of some 100 works from her heyday in the 1950s and '60s. Some of the Tecelares have not made it into the public domain since they were created.
New facets of an old story
An exhibition about divided Germany in Berlin - since that would be too banal, the German Historical Museum is taking a look at a surprisingly different facet of the period between 1949 and 1990, starting February 10.
You can't get more Vermeer

»Photography is my work - watercolors are my pearls.«
With city views of Berlin, Efraim Habermann became known to a broad public as a photographer in the 1960s. His works are characterized early on by a distinctive, concise style and unusual perspectives. Today, after a 50-year creative phase, he has an extensive body of photographic work, consistently in black and white, with numerous series from Israel, Venice and Berlin, still lifes, portraits and photographic collages. Habermann's »pearls«, his mostly constructivist watercolors, geometric forms in strong colors, finely balanced into a postcard-sized composition, seem almost like a commentary on his own conception of the image. An extensive exhibition of works from the artist's private archive can now be seen in Berlin from mid-February.
Efraim Habermann - Photography and Watercolor
