Featuring Wolfsonian collection works such as posters, books, souvenirs, and one of the first consumer TVs, World's Fairs: "Visions of Tomorrow" spotlights the centerpiece pavilions, spellbinding attractions, and uplifting themes that drew millions to cities from Paris to Spokane, often during times of crisis and change. The exhibition leads up to contemporary artist Marco Brambilla's new video installation, After Utopia (opening fall 2025), which imagines a virtual expo of iconic structures from fairs held across time and around the globe.

Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum-FIU 

Agustín Fernández 

The Alluring Power of Ambiguity

Through Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026

Cuban-born Agustín Fernández (1928–2006) was a modern master, incorporating a non-dualistic visual language of figuration and abstraction. Juxtaposing anatomical images with subdued coloration, Fernández is an artist difficult to position within the color-saturated Cuban canon. His ambiguous forms are evocative of flesh and eros, represented through a monochromatic palette. Resonating with the broader modernist movement, Fernández’s work explores themes of exile, separation, and abandonment.

The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum, Florida International University MMC, 10975 SW 17th St., Miami.
