Paul Klee was born in Bern, Switzerland in 1879 to German parents who enjoyed music. He began playing the violin at age 7 but later decided to focus on painting instead.

He began painting fantastical, distorted figures and shapes that represented a caricature style. In 1911 he met abstract painter Wassily Kandinsky and they exhibited paintings together. For Klee, lines were initially very important but after a trip to Tunisia, color became more significant. From 1920-1930 he taught painting at the influential Bauhaus school

TUESDAY, JUNE 23
Opening: Patrick Van Caeckenbergh at Lehmann Maupin
The Belgian artist is bringing a microcosm to his first show at the gallery. Two hundred hand-blown
glass jars of various shapes and sizes (originally used to protect statues of saints from dust) with
mirrored top and bottom halves, give the illusion of infinity, reference the emptiness of the atom as
the building block of all matter. Also, the walls of the gallery will be covered in a series of 31
graphite drawings of trees (Drawings of Old Trees during the wintry days 2007-2014), which are
actually not depictions of actual trees, but rather inspired by the trees in the artist's own garden in
Belgium. The drawings came from the artist's imagination, "after having observed the trees for so
long that [Van Caeckenbergh] was able to absorb their form and essence."

COURTESY THE GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM
5. Opening: Doris Salcedo at the Guggenheim Museum
Salcedo's long-anticipated retrospective at the Guggenheim will encompass three decades of her
practice, which addresses Colombia's traumatic political history in addition to related traditions of
suffering originating in colonialism, racism, and other forms of social injustice. Four levels of the
museum will display Salcedo's meticulously created, compelling sculptures and installations. A press
release states, "Many of her works transmute intimate domestic objects into subtly charged vessels
freighted with memories and narratives, paradoxically conjuring that which is tragically absent." The
retrospective is the artist's most significant since the late 1980s, and will include a video that
documented her site-specific public works and architectural interventions.
Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue at 89th Street, 11 a.m.--5:30 p.m.
