Donas, Archipenko & La Section d'Or. Enchanting Modernism

October 4th, 2025 to January 11th, 2026 Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp

‘Donas, Archipenko & La Section d’Or. Enchanting Modernism’ at The Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp explores the relationship between Belgian artist Marthe Donas and her Ukrainian-born mentor Alexander Archipenko, beginning with their meeting in France during the First World War. The exhibition and catalogue, the result of in-depth research by a number of authors, envisions Donas and Archipenko encountering each other in Nice in 1917 and working closely for about four years. The exhibition brings together works from museums and private collections, selected to examine their techniques, practices, and artistic parallels. Their creative output is contextualised alongside pieces by the artistic circles in which they moved and exhibited. Visitors will see Archipenko’s rarely-travelled, pioneering sculpto-paintings, Donas’s distinctive shaped canvases, and works by their contemporaries—including Modigliani, Gleizes, Survage, Léger, Mondrian, Kupka, among others. The exhibition is a collaborative effort between KMSKA, Archipenko Foundation and the Marthe Donas Foundation.

Alexander Archipenko. The American Years

October 18th, 2025 to January 31st, 2026 Galerie Le Minotaure, Paris

Galerie Le Minotaure presents “Alexander Archipenko. The American Years,” an exhibition devoted to a rich yet little-explored chapter in the Ukrainian-born American artist’s career. Focusing on the 1930s to the 1950s—his years of settlement and creation in the United States—the show reveals Archipenko’s remarkable inventive spirit, his experiments with form and material, and his belief in art and teaching as transformative forces. A catalogue will accompany the exhibition with an introduction by Dr Ada Ackerman (Principal Researcher · CNRS - Centre national de la recherche scientifique, Paris) and a text by Dr Klara Kemp-Welch (Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art History at The Courtauld, London) together with excerpts from Archipenko, Fifty Creative Years, 1908-1958 (1960).
