A PALMER hit list of what’s new, now, and next from around the globe—from our obsessive-at-large, Wynn Burson Cateron.

This summer, The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth’s Robert Motherwell: Pure Painting will be a must-see–a retrospective of 56 pieces from throughout Motherwell’s expansive, 50-year career (he died in 1991) designed to explore the artist’s impact on abstraction and Modernism in general, and presented at an institution with a long history of exhibiting Motherwell’s most important work…on view from June 4–September 17.
