Venice Biennale kicks off with a royal controversy – the week in art
Jeremy Deller makes a last-minute removal of a Prince Harry banner in Venice, while visions of the cosmos turn heads in London – all in your weekly art roundup
Universal appeal … Sky Away from the Lights by Tunç Tezel (2010), on display in a daring new exhibition at London's National Maritime Museum
Exhibition of the week: Visions of the Universe
Here is the face of beauty and truth in our time. This exhibition daringly mixes science and art, with photographs by Wolfgang Tillmans alongside the most spectacular images captured by the Hubble telescope and interplanetary robot explorers . There has been a revolution in how we picture space, and images of the planets and stars are among the wonders of this century. This is a chance to get closer to the aesthetic marvel that is the cosmos. • National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, from 7 June until 15 September.
Gary Hume Here is a chance to assess Hume's ultra-cool career in painting. • Tate Britain, London SW1P, from 5 June until 1 September.
Patrick Caulfield A very British melancholy clings to Caulfield's precisely ironic art. • Tate Britain, London SW1P, from 5 June until 1 September.
RA Summer Exhibition This eternal summer rite is still popular, perhaps because it is so eclectic – but expect no miracles. • Royal Academy, London W1J, from 10 June until 18 August.
Walk On An exploration of the art of walking, featuring Richard Long and Janet Cardiff among many more. • Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art, Sunderland, from 1 June until 31 August.
Masterpiece of the week: Godfrey Kneller, Sir Isaac Newton , 1702

Today art and science are coming together as astronomy produces images of scintillating beauty – perhaps we are returning to the early years of modern science when culture and discovery cohabited. Sir Isaac Newton, portrayed here in his wig, lived in an age when new theories were changing ways of seeing. His insights into the nature of colour had a huge impact on how artists understood their craft. • National Portrait Gallery, London WC2H.
