Tim Marlow, artistic director for London's Royal Academy of Arts, chooses the best exhibitions to see this month, presented by

Goya, Fragonard and Tiepolo each created powerful images in the 18th century that flouted norms and broke the canon, and visitors to the Hamburger Kunsthalle’s exhibition, opening 13 December, can compare these three masters. It’s among tꦓhe most anticipated shows to see this month, alongside major presentations at the Pera Muse🌠um, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Art and the Bass Museum.

Pera Museum, Istanbul
5 December–1 March 2020

2019 marks the 180th anniversary of the inven🍃tion of the photograph. In celebration of this, The Pera Museum in Istanbul is ending the year with an exhibition commemorating the birth of this art form.

1839 saw not only the beginnings of photography but also the very first photographic expedition. Three pioneers of the medium: French painter Emile Jean Horace Vernet, painter and Diorama-inventor Charles Marie Bouton, and Daguerreotypist Frederic August Antoine Goupil-Fesquet, set off together from Marseille. With their camera🔥s, they travelled extensively through Europe and returned six months later with images of their monumental journey.

Now, ten contemporary photographers are🌳 exploring the very same route, producing their own photographic responses but using the technologies of today.

See their photographic work in, at The Pera Museum, Istanbul from 5 December.

I talian, multi-disciplinary artist, Lara Favaretto, deals with the unfixed and ever-changing and her exhibition, will be no exception.

The show is to include new and recent works as well as ongoing series from the artist’s practice. A newly created site-specific installation for the museum’s permanent collection, In Gunmo (IV), will consist of f𒆙ive dynamic car wash brushes, twirling in constant motion, wearing themselves down on m♛etal plates.

Favaretto’s work is often humorous and playful but simultaneously concerned with heavier subjects such as decay, loss, deterioration and consumption. Her use of foun🍒d or abandoned objects and artworks is often profound and her output the result of extensive conceptual research.
