recognisable but also enigmatic figures. To celebrate the 500th anniversary of his death this year, Het Noordbrabants Museum in the artist’s hometown of Den Bosch has pulled off the remarkable feat of reuniting the majority of the artist’s surviving works from the world’s major collections in a once-in a lifetime show which promises to shed new light on his strange imaginings. However Madrid’s Prado is not parting with its Garden of Earthly Delights but is instead mounting another Bosch-fest later in the year, which will also be unmissable. Hieronymus Bosch: Visions of Genius is at Het Noordbrabants Museum, Den Bosch from 13 February to 8 May. Bosch: the Centenary Exhibition is at Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid from 31 May to 11 September Delacroix Described by Baudelaire as “a poet in painting”, the impact of this audacious and hugely influential Enlarge French Romantic painter on both his contemporaries as well as subsequent generations is explored in this blockbuster which combines Delacroix’s high-octane major works with those who fell under his spell, including Renoir, Gauguin, Matisse and Kandinsky. Delacroix and the Rise of Modern Art is at the National Gallery, London from 17 February to 22 May

Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, Selfportrait, 1790 Enlarge

Vigée Le Brun Astonishingly, the first major retrospective of one of the finest 18th century French painters and among the most important of all female artists. Championed by Marie Antoinette and subsequently forced to flee revolutionary France, Elisabeth Louise Vigéé Le Brun was then in demand from the royal families of Naples, Russia and Prussia where she was renowned not only for her technical gifts but also the evident empathy with her sitters which shines through her compelling portraits. Vigée Lebrun: Woman Artist in Revolutionary France is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York from 15 February to 15 May

Contemporary and modern solo shows John Akomfrah The UK premiere of John Akomfrah’s acclaimed three-screen video installation Vertigo Sea which was the toast of the last Venice Biennale. A meditation on man’s relationship with the ocean and exploration of its role in history of slavery, migration and conflict, this sumptuous but also deeply disturbing work fuses archival material, footage from the BBC nature unit and newly shot footage – and once seen, is never forgotten. This Ghana born, self styled “Afro Brit” – who since the Eighties has also forged a reputation as a groundbreaking film-maker for cinema and TV – is also unveiling two Reproduced by Gorkana under licence from the NLA (newspapers), CLA (magazines), FT (Financial Times/ft.com) or other copyright owner.

John Akomfrah is at the Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol from 16 January to 10 April and at the Lisson Gallery, London from 22 January to 12 March Mona Hatoum Born in Beirut to a Palestinian family and based in London since the mid-1970s, Mona Hatoum has made some of the most memorable sculptures of the past few decades – including an immersive endoscopic survey of her own body, a grid of live heating elements and a baby’s cot with cheese wires instead of springs. Nominated for the Turner prize over 20 years ago, Hartoum continues to make work which forcibly addresses exile, surveillance racial inequality and war in the Middle East which – depressingly – is now more Mona Hatoum, Cellules (detail), 2012relevant than ever. So this major retrospective – 2013 at Tate Modern which includes work spanning three decades – is Enlarge both timely and long overdue. Mona Hatoum is at Tate Modern, London from 4 May to 21 August Peter Fischli & David Weiss The Zurich-born duo began to collaborate in 1979 and continued to do so until the death of David Weiss in 2012. Hugely influential and greatly admired by their contemporaries and subsequent generations, their work explores the poetry of mundane objects and the magic in everyday life, while resisting any specific style, medium or material. But whether photographs, videos, slide projections, films, books, sculptures or multimedia installations, everything made by this exceptional duo is charged by keen powers of observation and an often uncanny sense of humour. Peter Fischli & David Weiss: How to Work Better is at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York from 5 February to 20 April

Georgia O'Keeffe, Abstraction White Rose, 1927 at Tate Modern Enlarge

Georgia O’Keeffe Landscape artist, flower painter, pioneering feminist – Georgia O’Keeffe was all of the above and much more, while at the same time loathing categorisation and hating the way in which the suggestive natural forms of her flowers were so often interpreted in Freudian terms. She’s also one of the 20th century’s most widely reproduced and perennially popular artists, which has also tended not to endear her to many art historians. Tate Modern’s retrospective aims to cut through the many preconceptions surrounding this forceful and often conflicted artist. Georgia O’Keeffe is at Tate Modern, London from 6 July to 30 October

Marcel Broodthaers The huge importance of this Belgian artist, film maker and poet on other artists past and present has led to him being described as “maybe the best known artist you haven’t seen”. This major survey of more than 200 works in a wide variety of media will hopefully remedy this. Marcel Broodthaers is at the Museum of Modern Art, New York from 14 February to 15 May Robert Rauschenberg Rounding off the year is the first comprehensive show of Rauschenberg’s work to be seen in the UK for more than two decades.

Performing for the Camera What better time to examine self-identity and self-expression in photography than in our selfie-obsessed, self-regarding times? Starting with photography’s crucial role in capturing performance art for posterity, this blockbuster then progresses on to how the photographic image has taken centre stage as a means to act out roles, pose and perform in its own right. Includes innovative approaches to performance and portraiture from such trailblazers as Yves Klein, Lee Friedlander, Hannah Wilke, Samuel Fosso and Cindy Sherman. Performing for the Camera is at Tate Modern from 18 February to 12 June Strange and Familiar Martin Parr, the man who has spent an entire career chronicling the everyday strangeness of the British, is an ideal person to curate a show devoted to how international photographers from the 1930s to today have captured the social, cultural and political identity of the UK, whilst not living here themselves. All the greats are here – Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Strand, Garry Winogrand, Tina Barney and Bruce Gilden – with this illustrious outsider’s view spanning the length and breadth of the UK and covering both its mainstream and forgotten histories. Strange and Familiar: Britain as Revealed by International Photographers is at the Barbican Centre, London from 16 March to Masahisa Fukase, From Window, 1974 19 June from Performing for the Camera at Tate Modern

Diane Arbus She’s such a big name that it’s now easy to forget how radical it was when Arbus first started to roam the streets of New York, taking portraits of those considered to be outside the mainstream of society, including circus performers, nudists, transgender people and the disabled. This show presents around 105 photographs that Arbus took during the first few years of her career – between 1956 and 1962 – two-thirds of which have never been published before. Diane Arbus: In the Beginning is at the Met Breuer, New York from 12 July to 27 November Enlarge

The New Tate Modern The year’s big art story – which is itself 10 storeys high. Tate Modern’s twisty new behemoth has also been designed by Herzog and de Meuron, the Swiss architects behind the original transformation of the former Bankside power station. This iconic new building will provide 60 per cent more exhibition space as well as a comprehensive rehang of Tate’s holdings across both buildings, connected by the Turbine Hall. Not an extension but a whole new gallery which promises “new spaces for new kinds of art”, much of which has been acquired by Tate over the last decade. These include an installation of giant burlap sacks by Magdalena Abakanowicz and a multi-screen film by Cannes prizewinner Apichatpong Weerasethakul. The new Tate Modern is set to open on 17 June Guerrilla Girls Founded in 1985 by an anonymous group of American artists to expose the inequality of the male dominated art world, culture in general and politics, this very much still active (and still anonymous) feminist activist group casts its critical eye over the Whitechapel’s own history of exhibiting female artists including Sophie Calle, Nan Goldin, Sarah Lucas and Bridget Riley. Guerrilla Girls is at the Whitechapel Gallery, London from 19 March to 4 September Huang Yong Ping Following in the footsteps of the likes of Richard Serra, Anish Kapoor and Christian Boltanski, the latest artist to be commissioned to fill the vast glazed nave and dome of the Grand Palais is radical Chinese artist Huang Yong Ping, who has been based in France since 1989. For Monumenta 2016, Huang will create a massive, colorful installation entitled Empires, inspired by the theme of eight islands, along with another suspended structure whose looming shadow will echo the metal structure of the Palais. Huang Yong Ping: Monumenta is at the Grand Palais, Paris from 8 May to 18 June
