The Guardian | The most exciting US art exhibitions in 2025

The Cuban-born María Magdalena Campos-Pons explores issues of gender, identity and sexuality, and is considered a major figure in the island nation’s post-revolutionary art scene. The Getty’s upcoming show covers 35 years of her creative output, exploring, as the museum puts it, “global histories of labor as they affected her family through enslavement, indenture, and motherhood, emphasizing resilience and respect for her Nigerian and Chinese ancestors”. It looks to be an outstanding survey of one of the defining artists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. 11 February-4 May, Getty Center
