Albertina, Vienna — Picasso · Bacon: What It Feels Like to Be Human. The Albertina has done the almost unfair thing of putting them in the same rooms and letting them argue. Bacon wins, as he always does in these pairings, because his work is louder in a way that flatters him and because the curators — sensibly — have hung him last. Go on a Wednesday evening. Bring someone you can be silent with.
Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin — new Berlin painting. Uneven. The last room saves it.
Zeitz MOCAA, Cape Town — Zanele Muholi retrospective. Go early. Bring water.
Guggenheim Bilbao — Refik Anadol's data paintings. Better than the reviews suggested.
Whitney, New York — the biennial. It's fine. Go for the building.
