The Impressionist Revolution: Monet to Matisse from the Dallas Museum of Art – Opens July 7
Making its Canadian debut at the AGO, this sweeping overview of Impressionism illustrates the origins of the movement and its considerable impact on two successive generations of avant-garde painters. Drawn from the extensive holdings of the Dallas Museum of Art, the exhibition includes masterful works by Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Vincent van Gogh, Camille Pissarro, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian, Edvard Munch, and more.
Diego Marcon: The Bubble Boy – On Now
Making his Canadian debut at the AGO, Diego Marcon presents a cinematic installation that blends Hollywood musicals, horror, melodrama, and slapstick into films that are both unsettling and tender. At its centre is Krapfen (2025), a surreal musical in which animated household objects torment a child, urging them to eat an apricot jam doughnut, in a haunting, choreographed performance set to an original score by Federico Chiari.
Ranbir Sidhu: No Limits – On Now
In his museum debut, Canadian artist Ranbir Sidhu presents three large-scale sculptures that blend past, present, and future. Combining advanced metalwork with Sikh history and symbolism, his bold works explore the space between industry and imagination.
