What are the most significant shifts in the art world in 2024, considering both artistic movements and the response of major institutions?

Surrealism and the harsh reality, or 'reality principle' as Freud called it, have been the two poles that have swung national and international art throughout 2024. The centenary of André Breton's Surrealist manifesto was commemorated with uneven exhibitions like 'Surrealism' at the Pompidou Center and 'Other Surrealisms' at the Mapfre Foundation in Madrid, focusing on Spanish and Latin American contributions. A Louvre exhibition, 'Figures of Madness,' explored the role of the outsider in modern times, a figure whose disappearance is predicted.
