The July to December period kicks off with the national season of winter blockbusters, and sees out the year with a calendar of major exhibition offerings for the summer. Among them are plenty of big-name artists, including Cao Fei, Yayoi Kusama, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Isaac Julien and René Magritte.
Vic: Pharaoh is the largest exhibition of Egyptian art to be staged in Australia, and has travelled here from the British Museum. It is showing at NGV International until 6 October, and is a masterly presentation. While you are there, be sure to take a look at African Fashion, also showing until 6 October. Ticketed.
