Among the many devastations of Covid is the inability to see wonderful exhibitions that are finally opening, mostly abroad, though some domestically. One that I am especially sorry to miss is the Fantastic Women exhibition at the Louisiana Museum outside Copenhagen. To see the work of Meret Oppenheim, Leonora Carrington, Frida Kahlo, Dora Maar, Dorothea Tanning, Louise Bourgeois, Lee Miller and other international art stars all in one go would be a dream, a surreal dream at that. In the meantime, here are some of the jewels that I will alas miss.
