Gauguin, Berggruen and Boudin Headline New Exhibition News

Three museums have announced exhibitions with distinct but expansive views of modern art: Budapest turns to Gauguin, Miami presents Heinz Berggruen’s modernist legacy, and Takasaki revisits Eugène Boudin through nearly a century of changing skies and seas.

Budapest’s Museum of Fine Arts will present Bonjour Monsieur Gauguin from 30 October 2026 through 28 February 2027, billed as Hungary’s first large-scale exhibition devoted to Paul Gauguin. The project brings together loans from nearly 40 public and private collections around the world. Its approach will be both chronological and conceptual, following the evolution of Gauguin’s style while also examining the intellectual and conceptual development through which the exhibition organizes his work.

Pérez Art Museum Miami will show approximately 100 works from Berlin’s Museum Berggruen in Picasso–Klee–Matisse: Masterpieces from the Museum Berggruen. The presentation includes works by Alberto Giacometti, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, alongside pieces by Paul Cézanne and Georges Braque. It traces early modernism through color, abstraction, figuration and Cubism, with themes including still lifes, interiors, portraiture and landscapes. PAMM will supplement the exhibition with works by Latin American modern masters from its permanent collection, including Diego Rivera, Joaquín Torres-García and Wifredo Lam.

The Museum of Modern Art, Gunma, in Takasaki, will present Eugène Boudin: Father of Impressionism—In Search of Light from 28 November through 31 January 2027. It will be Boudin’s first retrospective exhibition in approximately 30 years, bringing together around 100 works across oil painting, drawing, pastel and print. The selection will feature his vividly colored depictions of skies and seas. Boudin is identified in the announcement as an artist who had a major influence on painters of his time, including Claude Monet.
