Oct. 2–Aug. 15 Pinakothek der Moderne:
Olaf Nicolai.
After Mezel and Bergmann, Nicolai (*1962) is the third artist to adorn the east entrance hall with a site-specific work of art. The preoccupation with references between art, nature, conceptualism and sensorial perception inspires the artist to the most diverse installations that also integrate historic and social circumstances.

Oct. 9–Jan. 24 Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung:
Alfons Mucha. Master of Art Nouveau.
Major retrospective of the Czech Art Nouveau artist Alfons Mucha (1860–1939) with over 200 paintings, drawings, posters, jewelry, fabrics, sculpture, books and objects.

Oct. 12–Jan. 10 Haus der Kunst:
Ai Weiwei - ls there going to be a title?
The Chinese artist (*1957) fills practically the entire building with installations, videos, photos, sculptural works, furnishings and objects, and will also create a large-scale work for the façade of the museum.

Oct. 15–Jan. 17 Museum Villa Stuck:
Tiffany in a New Light - Clara Driscoll and the Tiffany Girls.
Until now, the design of all Tiffany creations has been attributed to the company founder and artistic director Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933). Now, however, the exhibition presents, for the first time, more than 60 lamps, windows, mosaics, enamel and ceramic objects that were all designed by Clara Driscoll (1861–1944) and other female artists.

Oct. 23–Feb. 7 Alte Pinakothek:
Rubens Challenges the Old Masters. Inspiration and reinvention.
The exhibition reveals the Dutch painter (1577–1640) as a copyist of famous paintings by Raphael and Titian, which he sought to improve through slightly altered details. A comparison between Titian’s “Fall of Man” with Ruben’s recreation, both on loan from the Prado, proves this impressively.

Nov. 23–Apr. 1 Sammlung Goetz:
Andreas Hofer.
More than 70 works covering painting, drawing, collage, installation and sculpture by the Munich-born, Berliner-by-choice (*1963).
