Brilliant Things to Do This January

"Coming soon to David Zwirner's 19th Street space in New York, The Last Dyes will constitute a series of new dye-transfer prints, representing the last major group of Eggleson's photographs ever to be produced using this printing method. Expect to see quintessential Eggleston scenarios - children lounging in and on 70s sedans; a rural Shake Shack; a lone ceiling light"

"From the 1970s up until his death in December of last year, the lauded British photographer Martin Parr dedicated himself to capturing "the absurdities and malfunctions of our contemporary world". So explains the Jeu de Paume in Paris, where a curation of some 180 works, taken in countries around the globe, will reveal Parr's knack for encapsulating the "inequalities of our planet and the excesses of today's modern lifestyle" with both humour and a hefty dose of irony."

"Lynch-heads in Berlin are in for a treat. A new exhibition at Pace Gallery will soon unite a selection of paintings, sculptures and early short films by the late director, as well as photographs he took during his various visits to the German capital. Those schooled in the esoteric American auteur will know he considered himself a visual artist above all else, having studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia in the late 60s. This show - which foreshadows a larger display"

William Eggleston's The Last Dyes at David Zwirner (New York, 15 January–21 February 2026) presents a series of new dye-transfer prints, constituting the last major group of his photographs produced with that printing method and featuring quintessential domestic and vernacular scenes. Martin Parr: Global Warming at Jeu de Paume (Paris, 30 January–24 May 2026) assembles about 180 works spanning decades and countries, exposing inequalities and excesses with humour and irony. David Lynch at Pace Gallery (Berlin, 29 January–22 March 2026) brings together paintings, sculptures, early short films and photographs, underscoring Lynch's identity as a visual artist and anticipating a larger forthcoming display.
