Profiles of artists currently exhibiting in New York, covering method, materials, representation and where else their work appears this season. Established names and first-time exhibitors both included. Written to give a visitor context before entering the room, not a biography to read instead of looking.
Percent for Art sets aside a share of city construction budgets for artwork, and the transit authority runs its own parallel commissioning system — here is how each one picks an artist.
Studios, stipends, and fifty-eight years of the Studio Museum's program: how New York residencies work and which documented programs run today.
Consignment, the fifty-fifty split, the stable, and the secondary market: the mechanics behind what hangs in New York's commercial galleries.
MoMA's unparalleled collection and the Met's Autumn Rhythm hold the drip period's two largest canvases—both from 1950, twenty blocks apart on one avenue system.
MoMA's 112-work collection anchors the historical Kusama; the Infinity Mirror Rooms arrive in Chelsea cycles, most recently across six David Zwirner shows to 2023.
The Met's twenty-six holdings, the Whitney's 2007 survey, the 2014 Domino sphinx, and the Chelsea gallery that anchors her ongoing New York presence.
The Met's 2021 gift of two paintings anchors a thin permanent presence; three defining shows from 2019 to 2023 set the exhibition record the market now shadows.
MoMA's first-acquired canvas, seven oils at the Met, and two monumental fields at the Guggenheim: a one-mile Rothko itinerary across three Manhattan museums.
Three free public murals, from Crack Is Wack in East Harlem to the Center's Once Upon a Time, plus the museum holdings that anchor Haring's short New York career.
Five portraits at the Met, the fearless 1980 Self-Portrait at the Whitney, and the Harlem and Upper West Side streets where she painted them.
