exhibition · 2026-07-02

Beginning September 9, 2026, the Kemper Art Museum in St. Louis will present two significant exhibitions: "Buenos Aires Modern, 1935–1950," which explores Argentine modern art with themes of exile and cultural exchange, and "Carolina Caycedo: Growing Deep Roots," which invites visitors to reconsider humanity's bond with the environment. Both exhibitions will be open until January 4, 2027. "Buenos Aires Modern" is particularly noteworthy as it marks the first substantial U.S. showcase of this dynamic period in Argentine art. Together, the exhibitions reflect the museum's dedication to intertwining historical and contemporary artistic narratives.
