Spoil Your Mom on Mother's Day

If there’s someone in the world who deserves something truly special, it’s Mom. That’s why Art Fix has curated a list of Mother’s Day gift ideas that will make all arty Moms feel loved, pampered and appreciated. Instead of (or in addition to) a bunch of flowers, we’ve opted for unique gifts that will add an artful touch to her special day. From live experiences to books and accessories, the Art Fix Mother’s Day Gift Guide is here to help you find the perfect way to treat the most special Mom.

FOR THE MOMS WHO WANT TO SEE ART LIVE…

GERMANY

GNYP Gallery
Jocelyn Hobbie

Talking about flowers, check these out! When in Berlin, take your Mom to the cool GNYP Gallery and let her discover these works on paper by American artist Jocelyn Hobbie. 

König Galerie
Loie Hollowell

The ultimate Mother’s Day outing is to visit this show by American artist Loie Hollowell in the former church of St. Agnes. Hollowell is often called the modern-day Georgia O’Keefe. We love her vibrant paintings about the beginning of motherhood: giving birth. 

NETHERLANDS

Ron Mandos
Erwin Olaf: Im Wald

Is your Mom a fan of Erwin Olaf’s work? If so, add Galerie Ron Mandos to your list of surprise activities to plan for Mother’s Day. Olaf’s unique and iconic photographs are not to be missed. Open on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 9th from 12-6pm 

Museum Belvédère
Tony Cragg: Points of View

If you’re looking for an outdoor activity to soak up the sun while celebrating Mom, then Museum Belvédère is the place to visit this Mother’s Day! The museum will be showing six monumental sculptures in the park by none other than the internationally renowned artist Tony Cragg.

Museum Voorlinden

Stroom Den Haag
James Turrell: Celestial Vault

This work by James Turrell breathes new life into the expression “head in the clouds”. Celestial Vault is an artificial crater located in the dunes of Kijkduin. With a natural stone bench inside, you’ll have the opportunity to lie back and gaze at the sky with the most special woman in your life — your Mom. Talk about a memorable Mother’s Day!

BELGIUM

Geukens & De Vil – Knokke
Matthew Feyld, Jaromír Novotný, Ane Vester, Marthe Wéry

Finding yourself at the Belgium coast, go and see this group show! The four artists all work in an abstract way. A continuation of a long tradition that extends back to the 1960s, but with a tactility that moves their work away from the sterile minimalism. Open on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 9th.

De Brock Gallery – Knokke
Helmut Dorner: Strandgut

Overlooking the sea, the German painter Helmut Dorner’s work couldn’t be shown in a better place. In the mid 1980s Helmut Dorner emerged as one of the most significant abstract painters of his generation. The exhibition features a number of recent paintings.

LONDON

Victoria Miro
Chantal Joffe: Story

UK based and already celebrated Mother’s Day in March? In our book, every day should be Mother’s Day! Some good reasons to treat your Mom again. “Story” is a series of portraits where the artist considers issues of ageing, motherhood and invisibility. In this exhibition, Joffe focuses on the complex relationship between mother and child over time, and there’s no one else who we’d rather experience her art than with our Moms.  

  • 4 June – 31 July (gift your Mom tickets!)
  • 16 Wharf Road, London
