The city’s evolving art scene certainly has much to offer.

Ahead of documenta 14 opening in the city this week, a guide to the other shows and projects happening around town.

'Part of what art is supposed to do is make you immortal, either by making it or owning it.'

Over the past decade or so, hoteliers looking to create a USP and stand out from the pack have turned their rooms and public spaces into miniature art galleries. Few, though, have devoted an entire hotel to a single artist. In that regard, the art’otel group stands out for its artist-themed properties. Its freshly renovated 109-room...

They are leathered by time. Their skins resemble discarded walnut shells. They might be bodies excavated from a peat bog, millennia old, or yesterday’s fruit peelings given a burial among the coffee grounds. Or perhaps these ancient humans, hanging upside down and side by side, are corpses from Pompeii or victims of a purge.

Georg Baselitz is one of the most influential artists of his generation. Born in 1938 in Sachsen, in what was then Communist East Germany, Baselitz was dismissed from art school after only two semesters for “gesellschaftspolitisch unreif” (“socio-political immaturity”). In 1957 he moved to West Berlin.

All true art lovers, collectors, dealers and contemporary art market actors know quite well that there is always amazing exhibitions of well-known contemporary artists at London-based Inigo Philbrick.

Jonathan Lasker’s approach to painting hasn’t changed materially in decades, and so why would his work, which struck me as an alienating (if not irritating) closed system when I first started looking at it in the 1990s, now feel so open, urgent, and fresh? Lasker’s new show at Cheim & Read, his first since 2007, presents...

They are small things, clustered in an order that is like an interrupted thought. Hung just as they were in his studio, Raoul De Keyser’s last paintings now occupy a wall at David Zwirner gallery in London. De Keyser died in 2012 at the age of 82. A few marks, some strange bent shapes; some are barely paintings at all. One has a small...

Yes! After months and months of speculation, prayers, and rumors, the Venice Biennale has released the artist list for its 56th edition, “All the World’s Futures,” which is being curated by Okwui Enwezor.

For weeks I’d been telling myself, and anyone who would listen, that I was going to skip the 2014 edition of Art Basel Miami Beach. It had been a busy fall. October’s Frieze London fair is at least on my home turf, but then there were whirlwind trips to Paris, for FIAC, and New York, for the auctions. I couldn’t be bothered with...

It is February 13 and the great German painter Georg Baselitz is standing in the Gagosian Gallery in London’s King’s Cross surrounded by a series of large upside-down self-portraits in pinks, whites and yellows with dramatic smears of black. He’s an imposing figure: bulky, powerful-looking in a grey suit with a red silk...

In 1958 Georg Baselitz, then a 20-year-old art student recently arrived in West Berlin from East Germany, attended a touring exhibition of contemporary American painting staged at his university. 'Unt
