Through January 12 DICKINSON / WALSER EXHIBITION This show brings together Emily Dickinsons original poem manuscripts and Robert Walsers microscripts for the first time in an art museum setting. Rarely in literature has the manner in which words are made been so integral to the way in which they might be read. The Dickinson / Walser exhibition, which proposes the notion that art may be used to make language, is a fitting corollary to Drawing Time, Reading Time, which appears concurrently in the Main Gallery. Curated by Claire Gilman. Image: Robert Walser, Microscript 419, 1927-28. Through January 18 CHRISTIAN MARCLAY EXHIBITION OPENING The Paula Cooper Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by Christian Marclay.

WINTERTHUR THIS INFINITE WORLD THROUGH FEBRUARY 16 With This Infinite World Fotomuseum Winterthur presents in this anniversary year its tenth Set exhibition, which captures the 20-year history of the museum in a very special way. None other than the New York-based photographer Paul Graham (*1956 in Stafford/GB) was invited to curate this second anniversary exhibition following Concrete Photography and Architecture. Now the very same Paul Graham, who was recognized for his photographic achievements in 2012 with the prestigious Hasselblad Award, has returned as guest curator with a carte blanche to present his personal artistic perspective on the 4,000 works that comprise the Fotomuseum Winterthur Collection.

BASEL

PIET MONDRIAN BARNETT NEWMAN DAN FLAVIN THROUGH JANUARY 19 This major exhibition presents the work of three eminently important modern artists of three different generations: Piet Mondrian (Amersfoort/Netherlands 1872 1944 New York), Barnett Newman (New York 1905 1970 New York), and Dan Flavin (New York 1933 1996 Riverhead, N.Y.). All three dedicated themselves to abstract art, but each did so under very different spiritual and cultural premises. Nevertheless, they all relied on an ascetic pictorial language of color and form as they sought to give art universal significance. Image: Piet Mondrian, Tableau 3. www.kunstmuseumbasel.ch
