581.1998WORKS by Van Gogh, Picasso, Cezanne and Frida Kahlo arrive in Perth June 22 for a major six-month exhibition at the WA art gallery.

It will be the only Australian outing of the New York Museum of Modern Art collection.

“The development of the exhibition is a wonderful achievement for the gallery,” director Stefano Carboni says.

The World Reimagined exhibition features paintings, sculpture, drawings, photography, prints and mixed media works. Chief curator Gary Dufour says the collection traces the reinvention of landscape, still life and portraiture, “by artists who discovered radical new ways to depict people, places and things”.

“It will feature ground-breaking art and tell a story of how attitudes shift in response to historical events, social change and innovation.”

It runs until December 2. Tickets from http://www.ticketek.com.au.
