I’m a nomad. I haven’t stayed in one apartment for more than eight months since I moved out of my parents’ house, and that was twelve years ago. Four-to-six months is my average length of stay. The residence on my driver’s license is three years out of date and being asked for my permanent address [...]

The thought of a major modern art institution opening its doors to the public free of charge might leave you more perplexed than some of the works contained within it. But this weekend — in celebration of ten years of posh modernity — London’s Tate Modern will do just that.
Art lovers should (and will — [...]

I had been to Italy five times before I made it to Florence, the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, so I was thrilled when I finally booked my ticket to go.
I wasn’t disappointed. Florence is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever seen, with medieval and Renaissance churches in every practically every piazza, interesting [...]

Cagliari is one of my favorite cities in Europe. It’s beautiful, urban, gritty, historic, and located on a beautiful stretch of beach (you can’t beat that!). Any time is a good time to visit Cagliari, but if there’s one time that’s better than all the others, it’s the annual weekend in May known as “Monuments [...]

A current  exhibition in le Marais allows American expats to play voyeur of their own iconic city.
From NY with Love, on display now through May 7 at Don’t Projects, features the work of 14 artists who live and work in New York. Its curator, Glorimarta Linaris, lives there as well, and stays in close contact with many [...]

Like Andy and Marilyn or da Vinci and the Mona Lisa, the mention of Edvard Munch generally evokes images of one painting only.
It’s The Scream, and it has saturated both art and popular culture. But now through July 18, at the Pinacothèque de Paris, you can see parts of Munch’s oeuvre that at times get [...]

It’s easy, when in Europe, to walk the footsteps of some remarkable and culturally prominent figures, and artistic influence seems apparent at every corner.
But for those who want a more in-depth experience (surpassing mere recognition to walk in the shoes of one of five renowned creators), Museyon’s Art + Travel Europe might be just the thing.
It’s a thick book [...]

No matter where you’re from, Europe can be a little expensive at times. Many travelers choose to lessen the blow to their bank accounts by performing on the streets for a little extra cash.  If you play an instrument or have some other exciting talent and nothing to do on a nice day, a performance [...]

A stuffed blonde monkey with his paw up in warning, a pair of slingback heels mounted on a tire, a porcelain vase… topped with a head.
Ah yes, another art fair has begun.
This time it’s in Rotterdam – the new Amsterdam alternative (think Chicago to New York or Berlin to, well, everywhere). Cheaper, tougher and not yet laden [...]

If you thought drive-ins were an all-American pastime (and a dead one at that), think again. Auto-Kino! – a temporary exhibition at the Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin – puts visitors in an indoor, makeshift drive-in, proving that vehicular voyeurism can still be quite a treat.
The exhibition begins Friday, February 5 and includes a selection of over 100 [...]
