The Brooklyn Museum and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco are pleased to announce Monet and Venice, a coorganized exhibition that will reunite Claude Monet’s extraordinary group of Venetian paintings. The exhibition will bring together more than twenty of Monet’s Venetian views from public and private collections around the world, including two masterpieces from the collections of the Brooklyn Museum and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco—The Doge’s Palace and The Grand Canal, Venice. It will mark the first dedicated exploration of Monet’s luminous Venetian works since their debut in 1912, placing them in context with select paintings from key moments throughout his career, and in dialogue with portrayals of the city by artists such as Canaletto, Édouard Manet, John Singer Sargent, J. M. W. Turner, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
Cocurated by Lisa Small, Senior Curator of European Art at the Brooklyn Museum, and Melissa Buron, former Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and current Director of Collections and Chief Curator at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity for visitors to experience Monet’s unique vision of the fabled city.
“It’s thrilling to reunite so many of Monet’s radiant, radical paintings of Venice,” said Lisa Small. “Although he avoided visiting until he was 68 years old—anxiously aware of how many artists had painted the famous city before him—once there he found it a unique and ideal environment to pursue his passion for rendering the changing effects of light and air. We are eager for our visitors to ‘travel’ to Venice and immerse themselves in the unfolding beauty of Monet’s paintings.”

Bruton + Co is proud to present its upcoming exhibition, ZERO and Beyond, at its Mayfair showroom. The exhibition will bring together works by some of the most influential and innovative international artists of the 20th and 21st Centuries, united by their radical exploration of the lightest colour, white, through masterful use of shade, texture, emotion and surface. The show opens on the 9th October 2025 and will be on view until the end of the year.
Featuring a dynamic selection of works spanning from the founders of the ZERO movement, Heinz Mack and Günther Uecker, to the Italian master Lucio Fontana and the iconic American artist Cy Twombly, the exhibition will include a rare late 1950s work by Piero Manzoni from a major private collection, a monumental piece by Paolo Scheggi, and an iconic painting by Christopher Wool.

White becomes a vast medium for expression; the selected works show these artists at their most innovative and daring, using textures, materials and instruments to alter and challenge our visual understanding of the colour white, building emotion, tension and depth beyond the traditional connotations of purity and innocence.
Drawing inspiration from the ethos of the ZERO movement and its redefinition of artistic boundaries, Zero and Beyond positions white as defiant and courageous, able to convey ideas of social and political change in times of turmoil. From Uecker’s nail reliefs and Mack’s shimmering surfaces to Ryman’s meditations on paint and Guidi’s hand-combed, cosmic abstractions, the exhibition reveals how artists across generations transformed whiteness into a site of cultural revolution.
“White has long been a paradoxical space in art,” says Olyvia Kwok, founder and CEO of Bruton + Co. “It can suggest purity or erasure, infinity or nothingness. ZERO and Beyond brings together pioneering voices who pushed white beyond its apparent neutrality, opening it into a spectrum of conceptual and material richness. In a time when the market for commercial artworks is fatiguing, we look to works from the past that offer both enduring elegance and market resilience”.
Bruton + Co, which was launched earlier this year, is a new type of art business stretching beyond traditional dealership and advisory models, instead acting as a strategic partner to those looking to buy and invest in art in the ever-changing art market.
