Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin: Donât Miss These Art Exhibitions in March 2023
From pop culture to climate change to the “Girl with a Pearl Earring” – the start of this artful spring will make it very difficult for us to resist the beckoning rays of the sun and lose ourselves in museums. But we should still hope for a belated onset of winter, because these exhibitions seem to be worthwhile.

"Vermeer" at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (Netherlands) | 10 February to 4 June 2023
When it is announced that an exhibition is showing just 27 works by one artist, few people go into a state of ecstasy. But when that artist is Jan Vermeer, things look quite different. After all, the oeuvre of the grand master, born in 1632, comprises only about three dozen (now known) paintings. With its retrospective, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is presenting the world’s largest Vermeer exhibition. Among the paintings will be spectacular loans such as “The Girl with a Pearl Earring”.
"Gabriele MĂŒnter. Menschenbilder" at the Bucerius Kunst Forum, Hamburg (Germany) | 11 February to 21 May 2023
Gabriele MĂŒnter is considered one of the most important Expressionists in Germany. Among other things, she was a co-founder of the artists’ association “Der Blaue Reiterâ. In the show “Menschenbilder” (“The Human Image”), the Bucerius Kunst Forum in Hamburg is now focusing for the first time on the artist’s portraits, which are sometimes expressively colourful, sometimes in a more subdued palette or in the style of New Objectivity.

Ragnar Axelsson “Where The World Is Melting” at the Deichtorhallen (Phoxxi) in Hamburg (Germany) | 17 March to 18 June 2023
Icelandic photographer Ragnar Axelsson is one of the most sought-after photographers in the North. For more than 40 years, he has documented the dramatic changes in landscapes and habitats at the edge of the habitable world and travels to the most remote regions of the Arctic – to Inuit hunters in northern Canada and Greenland, to farmers and fishermen in Iceland and the Faroe Islands and to the indigenous population in northern Scandinavia and Siberia. The retrospective at the Deichtorhallen uses the impressive black-and-white photos to visibly show the extraordinary relationships between people, animals and places in the Arctic and their extreme environment. Relationships that are changing profoundly due to climate change.

"Fotografiska Days" at the Berliner Atelier Gardens in Berlin (Germany) | 23-25 March 2023
This three-day exhibition focuses on the symbiosis of fashion and art. Nine emerging and established artists show their personal perspective on the subject in “Fotografiska Days: Cultural Fabric – Rereading the Relationship Between Fashion and Art Practices”. References to digitalisation and the world of pop make this exhibition highly topical. A small preview of the opening of the Museum Fotografiska, which is scheduled to open in Berlin later this year.
