Metropolitan MuseuM of art,

new york

until 6 oCtober

In commemoration of Leonardo

da Vinci’s death 500 years ago,

the Met is showing his unfinished

painting Saint Jerome Praying in the

Wilderness (c 1483), which presents

a unique opportunity to examine

the polymath’s creative process. The

Vatican Museums. metmuseum.org

vanCouver art gallery

until 27 oCtober

This exhibition delves into the more

experimental side of the renowned

American artist’s oeuvre. Think drawings,

prints, and large-scale fabric installations

that incorporate everyday materials as

well as pop culture inspirations—works

that were a daring reaction to the largely

abstract art in vogue in the 1950s.
