Summer art shows

Now that it's officially summer, there are a few art shows that are on my to-see list.
First up, the "local" museums I plan to visit...

Salem, MA @ The Peabody Essex Museum
The Kennedys | Portrait of a Family: Photographs by Richard Avedon
On view through July 18
For my Kennedy fascination...

New York City, NY @ The Met 
American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity
On view through August 15
I look forward to the annual Costume Institute exhibitions every year.

New York City, NY @ MoMA
Picasso: Themes and Variations
On view through August 30
Not normally known for his drawings, I think this will be an interesting show, delving into the brain and artistic process of Picasso.

Now the shows that I can (sadly) only visit online...

Paris, France @ Le Petit Palais
On view through August 29
Fabulous, I'm sure.

London England @ Tate Modern
Gauguin
On view beginning September 30
Despite learning Gauguin from the worst art history professor (ever) in college, I'd love to see this show.

Are there any art shows you plan to see in your cities, or online-only, this summer that I should add to my list?

    Oh, these are exhibitions I would LOVE to see...especially the Gaugain and Kennedy and Piccasso...
    We have an exhibition coming over from the V&A to the AGO in Toronto...it;'s the MAHARAJA exhibition...I adore the paintings and costumes which were worn.
    That's not until late November...so if you're in Canada Jaime...come visit!

    If you go to the MOMA, I would recommend eating at The Bar Room at the Modern...they have the most amazing food!

    Oh, what a great idea! I should check out thew exhibits going on in San Francisco this summer-its only about an hour and a half from me. About two years ago in SF I saw an exhibit on YSL that was amazing! It had a ton of his actual designs on display. You never truly know how gorgeous and amazing his work is until you see it right in front of you!
