One Fine Show: “Sophie Calle, Something Missing?” at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

This career-spanning exhibition transforms the museum's West Wing into a thoughtful and moving exploration of absence, beauty and the act of looking.

It’s been several years since the exhibition, but I still can’t understand why the Brooklyn Museum allowed a stand-up comedian from Netflix to curate a show about how much she hates Pablo Picasso. Some will probably disagree with me, but I don’t feel that popularity online affords one sufficient qualifications to try to take down one of the greatest artists of all time. Should we let MrBeast make a video essay on whether Federico Fellini is overrated? I’d sooner read Hawk Tuah’s withering dissertation on Virginia Woolf.
