Dog (1905) through to later works such as Woman by a Window (1956). Andy Warhol is spectacularly represented with the entire series of 32 Campbell Soup Cans on show, together with his equally famous Brillo Boxes, and a nine-canvas silkscreen self-portrait. Also included is Fernand Leger’s stunning Big Julie (1945), Fauvist works by Matisse, Mondrian’s celebrated Trafalgar Square, and a 1926 six-minute black-and- �� Jewellery and major mobiles by Alexander Calder, together with sculpture by Brancusi, add a celebration of economy of design. Perhaps less known in Australia �� woman to be honoured with a retrospective at MoMA in 1982. Carboni says the show isn’t only about bringing crowdpleasing Picassos or Warhols to Perth. “This is a way to educate the public in understanding 20th century art before pop art basically, seen through its major artists.” It’s very different from what we have done in the past, and what other galleries in Australia do, and it’s something I’m very proud of.” STEFANO CARBONI With Picasso to Warhol closing in December and a new exhibition from MoMA opening in January, the gap between the major shows is a mere six to seven weeks for the next three years. Carboni says he wants to create a fast rhythm so people feel compelled to come back and see the next exhibition. “It’s very different from what we have done in the past, and what other galleries in Australia do, and it’s something I’m very proud of. It’s the biggest thing this gallery has ever done, so we need the public to respond to it,” adding with a chuckle, “otherwise I’m going to be in trouble!” Carboni says both he and MoMA director Glenn D. Lowry had common ground in both being former curators of Islamic art. “I’ve known him for a while, and for one reason or another he’s followed my career, so I felt comfortable in asking him about loaning works. He saw Perth as ideally located to position MoMA to be more known in Australasia, which I think is very smart on his part.” AT A GLANCE PICASSO TO WARHOL: FOURTEEN MODERN MASTERS, Art Gallery of WA, June 16-December 3 JEFF WALL: PHOTOGRAPHS, Art Gallery of WA, May 26-September 10 PATRICK DOHERTY TALES OF HIERARCHY, Venn Gallery, May 4-June 8 APACHE CLIP AWARD 2012, Perth Centre for Photography, May 24-June 24 BEYOND LIKE-NESS: CONTEMPORARY PORTRAITURE, Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, May 25-July 28 OBJECTS.

To follow are exhibitions focusing on post-Impressionism, contemporary art and kitchenware design. Mooted �� Planned is a smaller, more intimate show, but with key, extremely well-known works. “I’m not saying Starry Night is coming, but two major Van Goghs will be coming,” he says. Carboni’s excitement is infectious. It’s not a far stretch to imagine an eager young Venetian boy, whose father had a degree in art history, being taken around the galleries and museums of Venice viewing everything from Byzantine to contemporary art. In a sense the exhibitions transplant the magic. “My father also went to the Biennale of course, so being exposed to so many different things probably made me feel it was fun. Through the exhibitions I hope to inspire children as well, not to be afraid of looking at art, to feel you have a relationship with what you have in front of you, and �� LEFT TO RIGHT JACKSON POLLOCK, SHIMMERING SUBSTANCE (1946) FERNAND LIGER, BIG JULIE (1945) GIORGIO DE CHIRICO, THE SONG OF LOVE (1914) CITY OF PERTH WINTER ARTS SEASON��11
