Early in the 20th century, a new development known as cubism took the art world by storm and changed the visual arts forever.
In the standard art historical narrative, cubism was pioneered in Paris by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, with less credit going to Juan Gris, a younger member of the group. Gris’ pivotal contributions are the subject of the new exhibition “Cubism in Color: The Still Lifes of Juan Gris” at the Dallas Museum of Art.

For decades, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has known it needed more space. Recently, architect Frank Gehry helped them realize they had the space they needed the whole time.
About 90,000 square feet has been carved out of what used to be staff office space and a vaulted corridor running underground for 640 feet, spanning the entire footprint of the museum, unused for nearly 50 years.
This weekend, the museum unveils its “Core Project,” a major renovation project four years in the making. The centerpiece is a forum space with 40-foot-high ceilings with a dramatic switchback staircase connecting the underground lower level to the first floor at the west entrance.

Enlisting the creativity of Frank Gehry, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has completed a $233m renovation and reorganisation of the lower interior spaces at the heart of its landmarked 1928 Beaux-Arts building. The latest phase of a master plan for improvements that was approved by the museum’s board in 2004 and involved four years of construction, the so-called Core Project yields nearly 90,000 sq. ft of reimagined public spaces and new galleries that are due to open on 7 May.
