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

Follow Australian Green Sea Turtle Bunji as she embarks on her first solo journey across the high seas and the incredible animals she encounters along the way. In A Turtle Odyssey, narrated by Academy Award winner Russell Crowe, explore the amazing life of a sea turtle from hatchling to adult, and the great migrations undertaken by generations before her. As Bunji leaves her Great Barrier Reef habitat and swims hundreds of miles, she encounters many marine animals—including humpback whales, parrot fish, and even a great white shark—as well as threats to her survival, like plastic waste.

A mandala is a diagram of the universe—a map of true reality that in Tibet is used to conceptualize a rapid path to enlightenment. This exhibition explores the imagery of the Himalayan Buddhist devotional art through over 100 paintings, sculptures, textiles, instruments, and an array of ritual objects, mostly dating between the 12th and 15th centuries. This dazzling visual experience provides a roadmap for understanding Himalayan Buddhist worship through early masterworks, juxtaposed with a newly commissioned contemporary installation by Tibetan artist Tenzing Rigdol.

This exhibition—part of the American Wing’s 100th anniversary year programming—highlights select additions to the department’s works-on-paper holdings over the past decade. These distinctive drawings and prints, dating from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries, have been selected from more than 175 that have recently joined the collection. As a group, they reveal the American Wing’s renewed commitment to strengthening and expanding our collecting of works on paper by both well-known and historically understudied figures, including women and artists of color, from diverse communities and across a broad geographic range. Most of the featured artists worked in various media and are also represented in the Museum by paintings, sculptures, or decorative objects, such as Fidelia Bridges, William Glackens, Laura Coombs Hills, Charles Ethan Porter, and John Singer Sargent.

Fleiss-Vallois presents a survey of works by Francis Picabia curated by the artist Harold Ancart. As per the title “7 Paintings and 1 Painting” the exhibition features 7 paintings by Picabia from the key periods of his output along with one painting by Ancart that draws a line between the work of the two artists.

The posters in this display represent a snapshot within Bućan’s expansive career, focusing on the monumental works he created for his first season with the Croatian National Theatre in Split, who hired him between 1982 and 1986. While he had previously produced a few large-format posters for other organizations or events, these images made up of six separate sheets of paper became his best-known designs, transforming exterior walls into urban canvases for his artistic explorations. Each image references numerous moments in art history and yet remains extremely modern, so much so that many of the posters from the first and second seasons of his tenure at the theater were given their own exhibition the following year. In 1984, the posters were seen as so particularly Yugoslavian that they were chosen to represent the country at the 41st Venice Biennale, revealing his work to a global audience and solidifying him as one of the most exciting and innovative poster designers in the world.

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.

On October 17, Hollis Taggart will open Turbulent Space, Shifting Colors, Abstract Expressionist artist Charles Cajori’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Known for blending bold abstraction with figural experimentation, Cajori’s canvases display a mastery of color and dynamism. Charles Cajori: Turbulent Space, Shifting Colors is the first exhibition of the artist’s work in NYC in nearly in a decade, and will function as a “mini-retrospective,” featuring works from the early 1950s to the late 1970s. The exhibition will be on view from October 17 through November 16, 2024, and will be celebrated with an opening reception on Saturday, October 19, from 2-5PM, with a discussion with the art historian John Seed starting at 2PM.

Susan Sheehan Gallery presents Sunshine on a Cloudy Day: California Prints 1960 – 1990, a group exhibition that brings together artworks printed and published at some of the most influential printmaking workshops in California. Borrowing from the lyrics of the 1964 song My Girl by The Temptations, the title of the exhibition references the weather on the West Coast, arguably one reason why so many artists established on the East Coast would often retreat to these workshops for extended periods of time and create some of their most significant bodies of work.

Pets and the City explores the visual history of New Yorkers and their animal companions over the last two and a half centuries, tracing the ever-evolving relationship between Gotham’s people and its animals as the city grew increasingly urbanized and industrialized. Through a broad spectrum of works of art, objects, documents, memorabilia, and clips from film and television, the exhibition surveys the evolution of pets—from their presence among the Lenape and Haudenosaunee and the hunting culture of settlers through their insinuation into the urban family and onto the pampered pets of today, which enjoy their own public rights.

To mark the 2024 centenary of its life as a public institution, the Morgan Library & Museum presents a major exhibition devoted to the life and career of its inaugural director, Belle da Costa Greene (1879–1950). Widely recognized as an authority on illuminated manuscripts and deeply respected as a cultural heritage executive, Greene was one of the most prominent librarians in American history. She was the daughter of Genevieve Ida Fleet Greener (1849–1941) and Richard T. Greener (1844–1922), the first Black graduate of Harvard College, and was at birth known by a different name: Belle Marion Greener. After her parents separated in the 1890s, her mother changed the family surname to Greene, Belle and her brother adopted variations of the middle name da Costa, and the family began to pass as white in a racist and segregated America.

Lévy Gorvy Dayan presents Francesco Clemente: Summer Love in the Fall, marking the venerated artist’s first exhibition at the gallery’s Beaux-Arts townhouse at 19 East 64th Street. Here, across multiple floors, Clemente debuts recent large-scale paintings in oil, watercolors, and frescoes, demonstrating his engagement with form and material—and melding artistic influences from India, West Africa, Egypt, and Italy to classical Greece and Rome. The subject of his new work is grounded in introspection and personal connection, echoing the expression penned by William Blake, “Love, the human form divine.”

What belongs in a museum, and who decides? How can we be more democratic in defining value? As a leading arbiter of taste, style, and form, The Museum of Modern Art played an instrumental role in shaping the history of modern design. Norman Teague invites us to reimagine the past by moving beyond "good modern design" as defined by institutions like MoMA. Drawing inspiration from artists and designers traditionally excluded from museums, and assisted by generative AI, he offers a reinterpretation of design history. These reimaginings—posters and full-scale prototypes shown alongside objects from MoMA’s collection—foreground makers of color and embody the cooperative, inventive spirit that guides Norman Teague Design Studios. Teague balances reverence for design innovation with an acknowledgment of the power dynamics that shaped it. With the rise of AI forcing a wholesale reevaluation of human creativity, he reminds us of the creative potential of inviting a diversity of voices into the chorus. As in a musical jam session, collaboration, respect, and improvisation bring us back to the question that sparks every act of imagination—the what if—inviting us to contemplate both the past and the future as realms of boundless possibility.

Plogging refers to the act of picking up trash while running. The expression stems from the combination of the Swedish term plocka upp meaning to pick up and the English term “jogging”. This activity will introduce new movements into your run while helping clean up our planet. Come join New York Road Runners on Friday, November 1 for a 2-mile plog shakeout. This year, we are excited to be joined by our inaugural NYRR Team for Climate: a group of dedicated runners who have committed to aiding NYRR on its journey toward Net Zero by helping to reduce the carbon footprint of the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon. Joining us will be special guests Ginger Zee (Chief Climate Correspondent) and Tina Muir (environmental advocate and former elite marathoner). This exciting, new route will start from the NYRR RUNCenter featuring the NB Run Hub and finish at the iconic 2024 TCS New York City Marathon Finish Line in Central Park. No plogging experience is required, and runners and walkers of all paces are welcomed. NYRR will provide compostable bags and gloves to all registered ploggers. Restrooms and lockers (on a first come, first served basis) will be available. We will be plogging rain or shine, so please dress accordingly. Can't make it on November 1? We still encourage climate activists in all parts of the world to join us from afar by plogging in their own hometowns to spread awareness and help clean up our planet. Tag us @nycmarathon, @nyrr and #TCSNYCMarathon to show off your plogging efforts! About Ginger Zee: Ginger has had a love of running since middle school but never had a chance to race as she has been chasing storms around the world as a meteorologist. Her “why” has evolved greatly over the years and being a conduit of climate science, and environmental change has become a major part of her coverage. Ginger is focused on consuming less of everything, except movement. Running has been a huge part of her mental health journey so a plogging jaunt to pick-up litter is the perfect way to mesh all of Ginger’s favorite subjects. About Tina Muir: As a mother of two and an elite marathoner, Tina aims to inspire change through running. She is the founder and CEO of Running for Real, a podcast that encourages runners to be brave and leave their comfort zones to address the climate emergency. She believes in running as a vehicle for social change. She is also the author of “Becoming a Sustainable Runner”, a practical guide for runners of all abilities and backgrounds who want to take meaningful action to protect our planet through their love of the sport.

Gagosian is pleased to announce DWELVE: A Goosebump in Memory, Jadé Fadojutimi’s first solo exhibition in New York, at 522 West 21st Street. Featuring new paintings and works on paper, the project bears a title that combines the words dwell and delve, suggesting both domestic familiarity and sites that prompt further discovery. In her large-scale acrylic and oil canvases, Fadojutimi uses color, space, and line to explore concepts of identity, emotion, and experience. Employing layers and gestural marks, she produces compositions that often suggest plants or landscapes, but which ultimately remain abstract. Each visual “environment” is constructed with strata of paint interrupted by lines of oil pastel and oil bar, the indeterminate contours of which suggest narratives of displacement. Fadojutimi also draws inspiration from animation, clothing, and music.

This exhibition is a solo exhibition held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Ha Jong-Hyun’s acclaimed “Conjunction” series. The artist rose to fame in the early 1970s with the “Conjunction” series, and these early experiments helped him develop his signature style, which involves applying paint thickly to the back of linen and then pressing it to the front to penetrate the texture of the cloth. The exhibition also highlights and explores Ha Jong-Hyun’s enduring exploration of the possibilities of painting materials.

David Zwirner is pleased to present an exhibition by Francis Alÿs at the gallery’s 519 and 525 West 19th Street locations in New York. Featuring the artist’s acclaimed series The Gibraltar Projects: Don’t Cross the Bridge Before You Get to the River—an expansive group of works made from 2005 onward that derive from his yearslong efforts to create the illusion of a bridge spanning the Strait of Gibraltar—it is Alÿs’s first show in New York in more than ten years. This presentation marks the New York debut of this foundational body of work, which has previously been exhibited at museums across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, North America, and South America.

Almine Rech presents Undertow, Matthew Schreiber's first solo exhibition with the gallery.

In this exhibition, KAWS uses new technologies to place elements of his work in a new context with art history, revitalizing familiar objects from the past. These new works have a distinct textured appearance, hand-painted to mimic the effect of spray paint, reminiscent of pointillism in the late 19th century, and also recall KAWS's early days as a graffiti artist marking walls and billboards in New York City.

Featuring over 90 artworks to be presented in the museum’s iconic rotunda, this major exhibition will examine the vibrant abstract art of Orphism. It will explore the transnational movement’s developments in Paris, addressing the impact dance, music, and poetry had on the art, among other themes. Orphism emerged in the early 1910s, when the innovations brought about by modern life were radically altering conceptions of time and space. Artists connected to Orphism engaged with ideas of simultaneity in kaleidoscopic compositions, investigating the transformative possibilities of color, form, and motion. Selected works by artists including Robert Delaunay, Sonia Delaunay, Marcel Duchamp, Mainie Jellett, František Kupka, Francis Picabia, and Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso, and by the Synchromists Stanton Macdonald-Wright and Morgan Russell, will be on view.

Pam Evelyn, a female artist from the UK, is the youngest artist in Pace’s global artist lineup. The exhibition focuses on her works created during her residency in Cornwall, southern England. It is also the artist’s first solo exhibition in the United States.

Don’t miss the exclusive U.S. debut of Sneakerwolf, the internationally acclaimed Japanese artist, this November at DSGN Gallery in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Timed perfectly with Japan’s Culture Day (Bunka no Hi) and the seasonal focus on Japanese arts and culture, SAMURAI Graffitioffers an unparalleled experience of modern Japanese creativity. This exhibition is not just a showcase—it’s a vibrant gateway into the intersection of streetwear, tradition, and global art culture.
