Incredible exhibitions are opening this fall in Europe, including major two group shows, and solo presentations dedicated to William N. Copley, Théodore Rousseau, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, and other world-famous artists. Here are some of the highlights so you can plan your October art exhibition calendar.

If you’ve been meaning to make it to MoMA to check out “Picasso Sculpture,” you’ll need to plan ahead starting next week. Beginning November 10, MoMA is requiring visitors to purchase timed entrance tickets for the five-month exhibit, which opened September 14.

This isn’t the first time MoMA has implemented timed ticketing. Over the past seven years, the Tim Burton, Van Gogh, Bjork and two Matisse exhibits have also required viewers to enter at a particular time.

A rare still life cubist collage by Pablo Picasso that features newspaper cuttings of ads for Quaker oats and Cherry Rocher cherry brandy has been acquired by the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.

Of the 30 collages Picasso made, only a handful remain in private hands. It shows a stylized glass and bottle standing on a table, in a medium seen as revolutionary in the early 20th century. It was made using charcoal, ink and pencil and stencilled lettering, but the bottle was cut from samples of a French newspaper, Le Journal, dated 12 December 1912.

Just a year after its grand reopening, the Musée Picasso in Paris is reinventing itself yet again. The museum is opening a new presentation of the world’s richest Picasso collection to mark its 30th anniversary. The rehang is part of a campaign by the museum’s president, Laurent Le Bon, to re-energise staff and repair the institution’s reputation after a highly contested renovation that closed the site for five years.

“The Moderns: Chagall, Degas, Léger, Miró, Picasso and More...,” an exhibition that fills nearly all of the sprawling galleries at the Nassau County Museum of Art, in Roslyn Harbor, is really two shows in one. The first, subtitled “Selections From the Saltzman Family Collection,” displays 35 works owned by Arnold A. Saltzman, the museum’s founding president and a major benefactor, who died last year at age 97.

One of only a handful of blue period Picassos still in private hands will come to the market with a never publicly seen secret on the reverse of its canvas.

Picasso’s La Gommeuse, an erotically charged 1901 painting of a cabaret performer, is remarkable in its own right and will create waves at the top end of the global art auction market.

An upstate New York museum known for its collection of work by Rembrandt, van Gogh and Picasso says it has received its largest donation of modern artwork in years.

The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls announced Friday that 55 works by some of the world’s leading modern artists are a gift from Werner Feibes and the late James Schmitt.

There was a Calder sculpture on a tabletop, a Calder on a bookcase, and a Calder mobile hung from the ceiling.

When there was no room left to hang the Picasso or Matisse drawings in the Kahns’ Riverside Drive home on the Upper West Side, the couple stacked artworks on the floor, against the wall.

Over five decades, the Kahns — Arthur, a successful dentist, and his wife, Anita — built an art collection that seemed to fill every inch of their Manhattan apartment, initially a two-bedroom that grew as they combined it with the apartment next door.

The United States on Thursday returned an oil painting by Pablo Picasso that was reported stolen from a major Paris museum 14 years ago.

"The Hairdresser," which Picasso created in Paris in 1911 during his cubism period, was seized by US customs agents in New Jersey.

Valued at $15 million, it was authenticated in January by experts from the Centre Georges Pompidou museum, its previous home.
