2026 Winter Art Series

Opening in 2026, Monet to Matisse: Defying Tradition traces a ground-breaking era in art history through iconic works by the most influential European and American artists of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Exclusive to the Art Gallery of South Australia, experience fifty-seven masterworks from the Toledo Museum of Art’s world-renowned collection, as Monet to Matisse tells the story of artists defying tradition and transforming modern art, from Impressionism to Cubism and Surrealism to Abstract Expressionism.

Featured artists include Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Helen Frankenthaler, Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Pablo Picasso, Robert Rauschenberg, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Vincent van Gogh and James McNeill Whistler. Select works from AGSA’s own collection enrich and complement the exhibition experience.

AGSA’s Winter Art Series is a major new initiative that brings major international exhibitions exclusively to Adelaide during the winter seasons between 2026 and 2029.

This exhibition is organised by the Toledo Museum of Art, Ohio, and presented with the support of Principal Partner, the Government of South Australia, through the South Australian Tourism Commission.
