The most exciting US art exhibitions in 2026
"Announced all the way back in 2023, and currently just a mostly empty page on The Whitney's website, this major retrospective of one of the central creators of the Pop Art movement carries some pretty heavy expectations. The Whitney will be drawing on its decades-old collection of nearly 500 pieces from Lichtenstein, as well as, one would imagine, dozens of loans from institutions around the world."
"San Francisco sister institutions the Legion of Honor and deYoung museums will be centering Venice, with two interconnected exhibitions: the former museum will offer a celebration of the city as an engine of high art throughout the centuries, and the latter will focus on what impressionist Claude Monet made of the romantic city of canals. Monet himself was daunted by the challenge of Venice a subject that had captivated the world's most esteemed artists for hundreds of years"
"Celebrating the 25th anniversary of his massive debut film, Amores Perros, director Alejandro G Inarritu revisits over 1m ft of film that never made it into the final cut, creating an art installation that doubles as a love letter to celluloid. Reportedly, Inarritu dug deep into the archives to create what he called not a tribute, but a resurrection of one of his most beloved films."
Major U.S. museums and galleries scheduled exhibitions for 2026 span old masters, Pop Art, contemporary sculpture, and film installations. The Whitney plans a major Roy Lichtenstein retrospective drawing on its nearly 500-piece collection and anticipated loans from other institutions. San Francisco’s Legion of Honor and de Young will present interconnected Venice exhibitions: one celebrating the city’s role as an engine of high art and the other focusing on Claude Monet’s work on Venice, including some 37 paintings such as The Grand Canal. Alejandro G Inarritu will stage Sueno Perro, a film installation assembled from over one million feet of unused Amores Perros footage described as a resurrection. The Guggenheim will mount a major Carol Bove survey of mixed-media sculpture and installation.
