Jonathan Meese: 2026 begins under the sign of the "Dictatorship of Art"
Jonathan Meese: 2026 between the Tim Van Laere Gallery and the Royal Palace of Caserta
2026 marks a new peak for Jonathan Meese's "Dictatorship of Art." The German artist kicks off the year with a double award that underscores his power in both the primary market and the institutional context.
The Event: POP² at Tim Van Laere Gallery
Meese's seventh solo exhibition opens on January 23rd at Tim Van Laere Gallery. The title, POP² (POWERPLAY - OVERKILL - PING|PONG), heralds an unprecedented explosion of visual energy. This collaboration, ongoing since 2011, continues to serve as a unique platform for observing the evolution of neologisms and symbols that make Meese a unique artist on the global scene.
Prestige: The Terrae Motus Collection in Caserta
While the market celebrates innovation, history anoints the artist. In Italy, Meese continues to be a protagonist at the Royal Palace of Caserta within the "Terrae Motus" collection. Here, his work is in constant dialogue with the great names of international contemporary art (from Warhol to Beuys), demonstrating that his disruptive aesthetic has already found a permanent place in the history of museums.

In this context of great international excitement, our collection is enriched by the new work Balthysmeese I (2001) It's the perfect meeting point between the raw energy of the gallery and the solemnity of the museum, a unique opportunity for our collectors to acquire a key piece of Meese's journey.
