Featured Events in New York in October 2024(November Updated)

The rich tradition of Mexican printmaking—ranging from the 18th to the mid-20th century—is explored in this exhibition of works drawn primarily from the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Among the early works on display are those by Mexico’s most famous printmaker, José Guadalupe Posada, whose depictions of skeletons engaged in different activities helped Mexican art establish a global identity. After the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), printmaking proved to be an ideal medium for artists who wanted to address social and political issues and express resistance to the rise of fascism around the world. Artists also turned to printmaking to reproduce Mexican murals from the 1920s and to produce exhibition posters, prints for mass media, and portfolios celebrating Mexican costumes and customs.

For the 2024 Genesis Facade Commission, South Korean artist Lee Bul (born 1964, Yeongju, based in Seoul) has created four new sculptures that combine figurative and abstract elements. The Genesis Facade Commission: Lee Bul,Long Tail Halois the artist’s first major project in the United States in more than twenty years and the fifth in the series of contemporary commissions for The Met Fifth Avenue’s facade niches. With a career that spans four decades, Lee is widely recognized as the preeminent artist from South Korea. She is known for her sophisticated use of both highly industrial and labor-intensive materials, incorporating artisanal practices as well as technological advancements into her work. Her sculptures, often evoking bodily forms that are at once classical and futuristic, address the aspirations and disillusions that come with progress. The Genesis Facade Commission is part of The Met’s series of contemporary commissions in which the Museum invites artists to create new works of art, establishing a dialogue between the artist’s practice, The Met collection, the physical Museum, and The Met’s audiences.

A defining Black woman artist of the twentieth century, Elizabeth Catlett (1915–2012) has not received the mainstream art-world attention afforded many of her peers. The Brooklyn Museum, in partnership with the National Gallery of Art, closes this gap with Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist and All That It Implies, an exhibition of over 200 works that gives this revolutionary artist and radical activist her due. A deft sculptor and printmaker, devout feminist, and lifelong social justice advocate, Catlett was uniquely committed to both her creative process and political convictions. Growing up during the Great Depression, she witnessed class inequality, racial violence, and U.S. imperialism firsthand, all while pursuing an artistic education grounded in the tenets of modernism. Catlett would protest injustices for nearly a century, via both soaring artworks and on-the-ground activism. Born in Washington, DC, Catlett settled permanently in Mexico in 1946 and for the rest of her life she worked to amplify the experiences of Black and Mexican women. Inspired by sources ranging from African sculpture to works by Barbara Hepworth and Käthe Kollwitz, Catlett never lost sight of the Black liberation struggle in the United States. Characterized by bold lines and voluptuous forms, her powerful work continues to speak directly to all those united in the fight against poverty, racism, and imperialism.

Robert Frank is best known for his pictures of a postwar America riven by social and political discord, and for the films he made with the poets of the Beat Generation and the Rolling Stones. So the filmed images found only after Frank’s death in 2019 may surprise some viewers. Tucked away in storage places, these film canisters and tapes, containing footage that spans the years 1970 to 2006, offer insight into the artist’s life and work. In partnership with the June Leaf and Robert Frank Foundation, Frank’s longtime film editor Laura Israel and the art director Alex Bingham have used these fragments to create a moving-image scrapbook. Featuring projections across multiple screens, the installation conveys the intimacy and immediacy of Frank’s observations of family, friends, and collaborators, as well as of domestic interiors and vistas of cities and coastlines. The footage in this installation, stitched together by Israel and Bingham to evoke his restless gaze and voice, sheds new light on his artistic process—at once comical and melancholy. We watch Frank journey between his homes in New York and Nova Scotia; down the open roads of the United States and Canada; and amid urban landscapes, including those of Beirut, Cairo, Moscow, and his native Switzerland. Frank makes the most fleeting of pleasures timeless: a warm bath and a steaming tea kettle, a glimpse of his wife June Leaf in her studio, the play of sunlight on his hand.

Schütte considers his subjects and selects his materials while contextualizing them in a time and place: Germany at the end of the 20th century and the start of the 21st. Since his student days at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Schütte has approached art with a critical eye. Exploring, then rejecting, Minimal and Conceptual art, his work “brought the story in again.” These stories encompass the personal and the historical. Schütte’s work challenges established artistic norms by revitalizing genres rooted in past traditions and making them relevant in the present and for the future.

This groundbreaking exhibition explores the everyday clothing of ordinary women, from worn-out housecoats to psychedelic micro miniskirts and modern suits to the uniforms of fast-food workers. On view in the Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Gallery and featuring objects from Smith College’s Historical Costume Collection on display for the first time in a museum, the exhibition traces how women’s roles have changed and evolved across race and class over the decades. Each garment holds a rich story about the women who wore it and made it, the materials used, and the context of place and time. Whether homemade or ready-made, many of the garments on display are modest and inexpensive, rarely preserved or displayed in a museum setting. Some are one-of-a-kind pieces; others are examples of clever makeshift pieces, and many were influenced by the popular styles and trends of their day. Visitors to Real Clothes, Real Lives will learn about the "real" women who worked and dressed in America for two centuries.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has launched its first-ever major museum exhibition to examine the career of influential 20th-century architect Paul Rudolph, a second-generation Modernist architect who came to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s alongside peers such as Eero Saarinen and I.M. Pei. Materialized Space: The Architecture of Paul Rudolphexhibits the full breadth of Rudolph’s important contributions to architecture—from his early experimental houses in Florida to his civic commissions rendered in concrete, from his utopian visions of urban megastructures and mixed-use skyscrapers to his extraordinary immersive New York interiors. The exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to experience the evolution and diversity of Rudolph’s legacy and to better understand how his work continues to inspire ideas for urban renewal and reconstruction around the world. The exhibition features more than 80 artifacts of varying scales, ranging from small objects collected throughout his life to a wide range of materials produced in his office, including drawings, models, furniture, material samples, and photographs.

For her first museum exhibition in New York City, Lebanese American artist Nour Mobarak presents a large-scale installation reinterpreting the first opera, Dafne, which was staged by Jacopo Peri and Ottavio Rinuccini in 1598 and inspired by Ovid’s myth of Apollo and Daphne. In Mobarak’s reimagining of Dafne, 15 singing sculptures—encasing a multichannel sound installation within mycelium structures—recount the tale in some of the world’s most phonetically complex languages. Building on histories of avant-garde sound, Mobarak’s most ambitious work to date draws on a longstanding interest in mechanized voice and memory across her practice, which ranges from sculpture to performance, moving image, poetry, and music. In Dafne Phono, Mobarak draws analogies between linguistic structure and the biological processes of mycelium, exploring how both are governed by systems of repetition, decomposition, and regeneration, and relate to wider forces of political power. Bringing new perspectives to a key antecedent in the history of performance, Dafne Phono joins nature and technology in an exploration of the voice’s ability to endure cycles of life and death, bridging histories both ancient and present.

52 Walker is pleased to announce its thirteenth exhibition, Baby Blue Benzo, which features work by Canadian-born, New York–based artist Sara Cwynar. This presentation focuses on a new film—for which the show is titled—shot on both digital video and 16mm and projected at monumental scale. To complement Baby Blue Benzo, a series of related photographs will be installed throughout the gallery space.

Otobong Nkanga has changed the way we understand the Earth and our place in it. “Humans are only a small, minute part of the ecosystem,” the artist has said. “My works connect us to our shared histories, not just through land and geography, but through emotions shaped by events and encounters. These are the cadences of life.” Otobong Nkanga: Cadence presents a new commission by the artist: an all-encompassing environment of tapestry, sculpture, sound, and text that explores the turbulent rhythms of nature and society. Created specifically for MoMA’s Marron Family Atrium, the installation centers on a monumental, multi-paneled tapestry that suggests sprawling ecosystems and galaxies.

The first US survey of artist Sohrab Hura (Indian, b. 1981) showcases more than fifty works from the last two decades of his experimental practice. Sohrab Hura: Mother weaves together bodies of work across photography, film, sound, drawing, painting, and text that have never before been shown together. Renowned for capturing remarkable everyday moments that give form to systemic political forces, Hura brings into focus colonially imposed borders, the trauma of partition, and the changing ecosystem of the Indian subcontinent. This survey includes a selection of key works such as Pati (2010), a film that explores the rural Indian region of Madhya Pradesh and its role in the movement to pass the 2005 National Rural Employment Guarantee Act; The Coast (2019), a book project, series of photographs, and film that use India’s coastline as a lens to examine the nation’s changing politics; and a selection of pastel drawings and gouache paintings from Things Felt But Not Quite Expressed (2022–ongoing) and Ghosts in My Sleep (2023–ongoing), his new series depicting familial memories both experienced and imagined. Through cathartic strategies of personal and political introspection, the exhibition traces Hura’s shifting existential concerns around the ethics of image-making as a documentary act. Sohrab Hura is a photographer and filmmaker who lives and works in New Delhi, India. Recent solo and group exhibitions have been presented at Huis Marseille Museum for Photography, Amsterdam; Liverpool Biennial 2021; Kunstmuseum Bonn; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge; and the Cincinnati Art Museum. His films have been shown in film festivals such as the Berlin International Film Festival and the 66th International Short Film Festival Oberhausen. Hura has self-published five books under the imprint Ugly Dog. His work is in the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Ishara Art Foundation, Dubai; and the Cincinnati Art Museum, among others.

Sanxingdui is one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of mankind in the 20th century. The Sanxingdui site is a Bronze Age civilization of about 3,600 years ago. It was accidentally discovered by a farmer in Guanghan City, Sichuan Province, China in 1927 and is a treasure trove of cultural relics. With large-scale excavations in 1986 and 2021, more than 30,000 pieces of gold, jade, ivory, stone, pottery, and the most unique bronze objects have been unearthed so far. These mysteriously patterned bronze objects, including the 2.62-meter-high "Bronze Standing Man", the 1.38-meter-wide "Bronze Mask" and the 3.95-meter-high "Bronze Sacred Tree", are unprecedented and sublime masterpieces. "Sanxingdui Encounter: A 12K National Treasure Micro-Viewing Global Journey" is an immersive digital exhibition, the first of its kind produced in collaboration between the Sanxingdui Museum and the Memor Museum, which will open in October 2024 on Madison Avenue in Manhattan, New York. This exhibition, which has been shown in Beijing, Shenzhen, Paris and Doha, is now on display in New York for the first time, using one-to-one replicas of the Sanxingdui Museum's collections and ultra-high-definition technology to showcase precious artifacts unearthed from the Sanxingdui site. For the first time, through the immersive 12k digital hall, VR and AI interactive activities, you can experience Sanxingdui up close digitally and appreciate the mysterious ancient Shu civilization.

Siena: The Rise of Painting, 1300–1350 examines an exceptional moment at the dawn of the Italian Renaissance and the pivotal role of Sienese artists—including Duccio, Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti, and Simone Martini—in defining Western painting. In the decades leading up to the catastrophic onset of the plague around 1350, Siena was the site of phenomenal artistic innovation and activity. While Florence is often positioned as the center of the Renaissance, this presentation offers a fresh perspective on the importance of Siena, from Duccio’s profound influence on a new generation of painters to the development of narrative altarpieces and the dissemination of artistic styles beyond Italy.

Cecily Brown's figurative and abstract painting language, fusion of classical narratives, oversized works, and bold female perspective have given her a firm foothold in contemporary art history.

Timothy Taylor is pleased to present Rude Awakening, a solo exhibition of new paintings, sculptures, and drawings by Alicia Adamerovich at the gallery’s New York location. The artist’s debut exhibition in the city and with the gallery, this presentation features enigmatic biomorphic abstractions that reflect on our moment’s uncertain relationship to truth and objective reality. Adamerovich uses paint, pumice, sand, and wood to process absurd or contradictory feelings and thoughts. Sparked by mundane encounters with an intriguing shape, phrase, or angle of light, she works intuitively, generating moody, shadowy landscapes in two and three dimensions. Raised in western Pennsylvania by her naturalist father and biologist mother, Adamerovich grew up contemplating and drawing the natural world as well as examining its minutiae through a microscope. The organic, geologic, and mathematical .

Perrotin New York is pleased to present Alain Jacquet & James Rosenquist, in collaboration with Kasmin and thanks to Sophie Matisse and Gaïa Jacquet-Matisse, Mimi Thompson and Lily Rosenquist. This sweeping exhibition elucidates the expressive work of Jacquet and Rosenquist. Most notably associated with the Pop Art movement, these two artists were contemporaries and friends who shared similar interests and practices. The gallery's first floor highlights the artists' interest in space, while the second floor features artwork from the 1960s.

“Behind this mask, another mask; I will never be done with removing all these faces,” wrote artist and poet Claude Cahun in 1930. Throughout the 20th century, artists have imagined the body and ideas of the self as fluid and open to ongoing transformations. Vital Signs includes over 100 works by artists who question what it means to be an individual within a larger society—and how socially sustained categories such as gender, race, and sexual identity are rooted in abstraction. Much of the work in Vital Signs was made by women or gender-expansive artists. The exhibition suggests fresh perspectives on celebrated works from MoMA’s collection by artists such as Frida Kahlo, Ana Mendieta, Louise Bourgeois, and Senga Nengudi, as well as works on view at the Museum for the first time by artists including Belkis Ayón, Ted Joans, and Rosemary Mayer. Some artists explore how we project, distort, and create identities through acts of play, empathy, or control. Others focus on the body’s interior—both real and imagined—or look to the world outside, forming newly imagined combinations of the human and the non-human. Full of life, Vital Signs illuminates some of the ways that artists reflect on abstraction in its broadest social senses while expanding ideas around what it means to be alive and to connect with others.

Contextualizing his art from 2018–2023, Order/Disorder includes works from Hobbs’ solo exhibitions at Unit, London, and Pace, New York, in 2023. Structured around the concept of dualities, the book explores Hobbs’ systematic approaches to art making, the creative relationship between man and machine, computer-led aesthetics, and the interplay of repetition and emergence across long-form generative projects. Order/Disorder features an interview between Hobbs and Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries, and an essay by Melanie Lenz, curator of digital art at the Victoria & Albert Museum, alongside texts by the artist that introduce each thematically arranged section of plates. Tyler Hobbs is a visual artist from Austin, Texas, working with algorithms, plotters, and paint. His work focuses on computational aesthetics, how they are shaped by the biases of modern computer hardware and software, and how they relate to and interact with the natural world around us.

Hobbs’ most notable project, Fidenza, is a series of 999 algorithmically generated works comprising one of the most sought-after fine art NFT collections. His work has been exhibited internationally, with recent solo exhibitions at Unit, London (2023) and Pace Gallery, New York (2023). Hobbs’ pieces have been included in numerous events by leading auction houses such as Christie’s, Phillips and Sotheby’s.
