  <Description><![CDATA[The islands of the Pacific Ocean encompass nearly 1,800 distinct cultures and hundreds of artistic traditions in an area that covers about one-third of the earth’s surface. The Museum’s new permanent galleries for Oceanic art, completely redesigned and reinstalled, display a substantially larger portion of the Museum’s Oceanic holdings than was previously on view. Featuring renowned masterworks from the Metropolitan’s Oceanic collection as well as recent acquisitions, the installation presents sculpture and decorative arts from the regions of Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Australia. The displays also feature the Museum’s first gallery devoted to the arts of the indigenous peoples of Island Southeast Asia.

  <Description><![CDATA[The New Galleries for 19th- and Early 20th-Century European Paintings and Sculpture are reopening with renovated rooms and 8,000 square feet of additional gallery space—the Henry J. Heinz II Galleries—to showcase works from 1800 through the early twentieth century. The renovated galleries feature all of the Museum's most loved nineteenth-century paintings, which have been on permanent display in the past, as well as works by Bonnard, Vuillard, Soutine, Matisse, Picasso, and other early modern artists. Among the many additions are a full-room assembly of &quot;The Wisteria Dining Room,&quot; a French art nouveau interior designed by Lucien Lévy Dhurmer shortly before World War I that is the only complete example of its kind in the United States; Henry Lerolle's enormous The Organ Rehearsal (a church interior of 1885); a group of newly accessioned nineteenth-century landscape oil sketches; and a selection of rarely exhibited paintings by an international group of artists.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Museum’s renovated gallery devoted to Native North American art display approximately 90 works made by numerous American peoples. Ranging from the beautifully shaped stone tools known as bannerstones of several millennia B.C. to a mid-1970s tobacco bag, the objects illustrate a wide variety of cultural background, artistic style, and functional purpose, all qualities inherent in the art of the peoples of the large North American continent. Works include wood sculpture from the Northwest Coast of North America, ivory carvings from the Arctic, wearing blankets from the Southwest, and objects of hide from the Great Plains. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[At the heart of The Jewish Museum is its permanent exhibition, Culture and Continuity: The Jewish Journey, representing one of the world's great opportunities to explore Jewish culture and history through art. This vibrant two-floor exhibition features 800 works from the Museum's remarkably diverse collection of art, archaeology, ceremonial objects, video, photographs, interactive media and television excerpts. It examines the Jewish experience as it has evolved from antiquity to the present, over 4,000 years, and asks two vital questions: How has Judaism been able to thrive for thousands of years across the globe, often in difficult and even tragic circumstances? What constitutes the essence of Jewish identity?

The exhibition traces the dynamic interaction among three catalysts that have shaped the Jewish experience: the constant questioning and reinterpretation of Jewish traditions, the interaction of Jews and Judaism with other cultures, and the impact of historical events that have transformed Jewish life. Culture and Continuity: The Jewish Journey proposes that Jews have been able to sustain their identity, despite wide dispersion and sometimes tragic circumstances, by evolving a culture that can adapt to life in many countries and under various conditions. Survival as a people has depended upon both the continuity of Jewish ideas and values and the flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Justin K. Thannhauser (1892–1976) was the son of art dealer Heinrich Thannhauser (1859–1935), who founded the Moderne Galerie in Munich in 1909. From an early age, Thannhauser worked alongside his father in the flourishing gallery and helped to build an impressive and versatile exhibition program that included the French Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, the Italian Futurists, and regularly featured contemporary German artists. The Moderne Galerie presented the premier exhibitions of the New Artists’ Association of Munich (Neue Künstlervereinigung München) and The Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter), both of which included Vasily Kandinsky, in 1901 and 1911, respectively. Kandinsky later described the gallery’s rooms as “perhaps the most beautiful exhibition spaces in all of Munich.” The Moderne Galerie also mounted the first major Pablo Picasso retrospective in 1913, thus initiating the close relationship between Justin K. Thannhauser and Picasso that lasted until the artist’s death in 1973.

The Thannhausers’ commitment to promoting artistic progress paralleled the vision of Solomon R. Guggenheim (1861–1949). In appreciation of this shared spirit, and in the memory of his first wife and two sons—who might have continued in the family’s art trade had they not died at tragically young ages—Thannhauser gave a significant portion of his art collection, including over 30 works by Picasso, to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1963. From 1965 until Thannhauser’s death in 1976 (when his collection formally entered the Guggenheim’s holdings), the Thannhauser Collection was on long-term loan to the museum. A bequest of 10 additional works received after Hilde Thannhauser’s death in 1991 enhanced the legacy of this family of important art dealers.

  <Description><![CDATA[In 1922 Vasily Kandinsky (b. 1866, Moscow; d. 1944, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France) accepted a teaching position at the Bauhaus, the state-sponsored Weimar school of art and applied design founded in 1919 by architect Walter Gropius. The school’s curriculum was based on the principle that the crafts were equal to the traditional arts and was organized according to a medieval-style guild system of training under the tutelage of masters. Kandinsky conducted the Wall Painting Workshop and Preliminary Course and taught at all three of the school’s sequential locations in Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin until 1933, when the Bauhaus was closed due to pressure from the National Socialist (Nazi) government.

Geometric shapes came to play a dominant role in Kandinsky’s pictorial vocabulary at the Bauhaus; the artist, who was interested in uncovering a universal aesthetic language, increased his use of overlapping, flat planes and clearly delineated forms. This change was due, in part, to his familiarity with the Suprematist work of Kazimir Malevich and the art of the Constructivists. Kandinsky’s turn toward geometric forms was also likely a testament to the influence of industry and developments in technology.

Drawn from the museum's permanent collection, this intimate presentation features paintings and works on paper from a prolific period of Kandinsky's career. The exhibition is curated by Tracey Bashkoff, Curator of Collections and Exhibitions, and Megan Fontanella, Assistant Curator.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[A group of 22 paintings and 2 small sculptures will offer visitors a chronological journey through highlights of the N-YHS's rich collection of New York views, including historical images of the metropolis and richly allusive images of its inhabitants and their lives. The installation will include a selection of city views, beginning and ending with two monumental cityscapes, Guy's Tontine Coffee House of ca. 1797 and Jacquette's From World Trade Center, 1998. It will feature portraits of political and cultural figures such as DeWitt Clinton, who oversaw the development of the Erie Canal, and Peter Williams, the former slave who became a successful merchant and a founding trustee of the Zion Church for Negroes. It will also illuminate the everyday lives of New Yorkers through such works as Burr's The Intelligence Office, 1849 and Thain's Italian Block Party, 1922.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[After an eight–month hiatus, the gallery devoted to Western musical instruments has reopened, showcasing more than two hundred works of art drawn primarily from the Metropolitan's extensive holdings, among the most important in the world. The new installation explores each work within its musical and cultural context, offers exciting comparisons of how individual makers realized the same concept, and introduces examples of the various instruments' developments. Among the wide range of objects on view—keyboard, string, percussion, woodwind, and brass instruments—a highlight is the famed &quot;Batta&quot; cello made in Cremona, Italy, by Antonio Stradivari (1644–1737), on loan from a private collection.

  <Description><![CDATA[Portions of the Medieval Galleries have been renovated, thanks to the generous support of Mary and Michael Jaharis. The apse beneath the Great Hall Stairs has become part of the Mary and Michael Jaharis Galleries for Byzantine Art and features the Museum's newly acquired manuscript, the Jaharis Byzantine Lectionary, a rare masterpiece of Byzantine art from around the year 1100. An 18-foot-tall marble ciborium (altar canopy) from twelfth–century Italy is the focal point of the former Tapestry Hall that has become a new gallery of Medieval Europe devoted to works of art in all media from about 1050 to 1300.

  <Description><![CDATA[On the Move is a special installation of toy and miniature vehicles from the Museum's Permanent Collection that not only suggest the lives of the children who played with them but also reveal how transportation evolved and changed in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The transportation toys on view are modeled on vehicles once commonly recognized throughout our city: Boats for traversing New York's rivers and harbors; horse-drawn carts and wagons used for local transport, conveying goods throughout the city, and enabling police and fire departments to get where they were needed; and the gas-powered automobiles and trucks that were traveling the city's streets and crossing its great bridges by the early 20th century.

  <Description><![CDATA[At a time when images barrage us everywhere from our televisions to our mobile phones, the latest reinstallation of the Whitney’s permanent collection galleries invites visitors to slow down and experience art in a dramatic new way. Singular Visions presents twelve postwar highlights from the museum’s holdings, each in its own space, in order to create intimate and compelling encounters with a single work of art. Each piece was chosen to convey a distinct impression and a specific sense of its maker’s vision, whether somber or celebratory, figurative or abstract, quiet or bold. Some of the works on view require their own spaces because they are large or comprise many parts, while others explore difficult topics or emotions that one might wish to consider in relative isolation. Through their variety of mediums, sizes, styles, and subjects, the works in Singular Visions encourage a range of powerful experiences and reveal how contemporary artists have stretched the very boundaries of what an artwork can be.

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition explores caricature and satire in its many forms from the Italian Renaissance to the present, drawn primarily from the rich collection of this material in the Museum's Department of Drawings and Prints. The show includes drawings and prints by Leonardo da Vinci, Eugène Delacroix, Francisco de Goya, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Enrique Chagoya alongside works by artists more often associated with humor, such as James Gillray, Thomas Rowlandson, Honoré Daumier, Al Hirschfeld, and David Levine.Many of these engaging caricatures and satires have never been exhibited and are little known except to specialists.
In its purest form, caricature—from the Italian carico and caricare, &quot;to load&quot; and &quot;to exaggerate&quot;—distorts human physical characteristics and can be combined with various kinds of satire to convey personal, social, or political meaning. Although caricature has probably existed since artists began to draw (ancient examples are known), the form took shape in Europe when Leonardo da Vinci's drawings of grotesque heads were copied by followers and distributed as prints.

The exhibition's title derives from Hamlet, which is quoted in a Civil War print that uses the famous line: &quot;I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest&quot; to mock Lincoln. The show will be divided into four sections and will begin by exploring the building blocks of caricature, a genre that artists employed through the centuries, exaggerating faces and physiques, showing people as animals and objects, and displaying humorous figures in processions.

In the seventeenth century, Gian Lorenzo Bernini entertained European monarchs with caricatures, and the form was also taken up by Guercino, Pier Leone Ghezzi, and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Highlights of this section will include Leonardo da Vinci's Head of a Man in Profile, Facing Left, together with caricature drawings by Tiepolo and Francois-André Vincent, as well as a rich range of prints by Louis Léopold Boilly, Thomas Rowlandson, James Gillray, and even Nadar, who was an active caricaturist.

The second section of the exhibition will explore social satire expressed in works devoted to eating and drinking, gambling, male and female fashion, art, and crowds. The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are known as the golden age of caricature and satire, with William Hogarth, Gillray, Rowlandson, and George Cruikshank producing lively examples in Britain, and Honoré Daumier and Boilly doing the same in France. These artists cleverly inserted recognizable caricatures into satirical frameworks to mock contemporary society. Extreme fashion provided satirists with an ever-changing source of humor beginning in the 1760s and a selection of sartorial caricatures will be on view.

Politics will be the focus of the exhibition's third section, featuring prints produced in response to the American and French revolutions, to Napoleon's conquest of Europe, and to French, Mexican, and American politics of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including the American Civil War. Rare anonymous satires produced in France when censorship eased in the 1790s will be on view, accompanied by famous designs by Gillray and Daumier. Striking designs by such unexpected caricaturists as the French romantic painter Eugène Delacroix will also be included.

The exhibition will end with a group of caricatures of notable people from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. Contemporary images in the exhibition will include Al Hirschfeld's Americans in Paris from 1951, depicting a lively crowd at the Café de la Paix that includes the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the boxer Sugar Ray Robinson, Alice B. Toklas, Ernest Hemingway, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Hirschfeld himself with his wife, the actress Dolly Haas, in sunglasses, and their young daughter Nina. The most recent piece in the exhibition will be Enrique Chagoya's The Headache, A Print after George Cruikshank from 2010, in which Chagoya adapted a nineteenth-century print by Cruikshank called The Head Ache to include President Obama's face as a statement about the country's recent debates on health care.

  <Description><![CDATA[I was always a colorist, I've always had a phenomenal love of color... I mean, I just move color around on its own. So that's where the spot paintings came from-to create that structure to do those colors, and do nothing. I suddenly got what I wanted. It was just a way of pinning down the joy of color.
-Damien Hirst
 
Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present &quot;The Complete Spot Paintings 1986-2011&quot; by Damien Hirst.
 
The exhibition will take place at once across all of Gagosian Gallery's eleven locations in New York, London, Paris, Los Angeles, Rome, Athens, Geneva, and Hong Kong, opening worldwide on January 12, 2012. Most of the paintings are being lent by private individuals and public institutions, more than 150 different lenders from twenty countries. Conceived as a single exhibition in multiple locations, &quot;The Complete Spot Paintings 1986-2011&quot; makes use of this demographic fact to determine the content of each exhibition according to locality.
 
Included in the exhibition are more than 300 paintings, from the first spot on board that Hirst created in 1986; to the smallest spot painting comprising half a spot and measuring 1 x 1/2 inch (1996); to a monumental work comprising only four spots, each 60 inches in diameter; and up to the most recent spot painting completed in 2011 containing 25,781 spots that are each 1 millimeter in diameter, with no single color ever repeated.
 
In conjunction with the exhibition will be the publication of The Complete Spot Paintings 1986-2011, a fully illustrated, comprehensive and definitive catalogue of all spot paintings made by Hirst from 1986 to the present. Published by Gagosian Gallery and Other Criteria, The Complete Spot Paintings 1986-2011 includes essays by Museum of Modern Art curator Ann Temkin, cultural critic Michael Bracewell, and art historian Robert Pincus-Witten as well as a conversation between Damien Hirst, Ed Ruscha and John Baldessari.
 
The third issue of the Gagosian App for iPad will also launch January, providing an interactive, in-depth look at the series that features more than ninety spot paintings.
 
&quot;Damien Hirst: The Complete Spot Paintings 1986-2011&quot; precedes the first major museum retrospective of Hirst's work opening at Tate Modern in London in April, 2012.
 
Damien Hirst was born in 1965 in Bristol, England. Solo exhibitions include &quot;The Agony and the Ecstasy,&quot; Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli, Naples (2004); &quot;A Selection of Works by Damien Hirst from Various Collections,&quot; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (2005); Astrup Fearnley Museet for Moderne Kunst, Oslo (2005); &quot;For the Love of God,&quot; Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (2008); &quot;No Love Lost,&quot; The Wallace Collection, London (2009); &quot;Requiem,&quot; Pinchuk Art Center, Kiev (2009); and &quot;Cornucopia,&quot; the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco (2010). He received the Turner Prize in 1995. His work is included in many important public and private collections throughout the world.
 
Hirst lives and works in London and Devon, United Kingdom.

  <Description><![CDATA[A towering figure in early twentieth-century photography, Alfred Stieglitz was not only a master of the medium, but also a powerful tastemaker and tireless advocate for photography as a fine art in the early 1900s. Through his sumptuous and influential journal Camera Work (1902–1917) and his &quot;Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession&quot; (1905–1917), known to insiders simply as &quot;291&quot; for its address on Fifth Avenue, Stieglitz introduced the public to the best of artistic photography and, eventually, modern art. He was also his gallery's best client, supporting the artists he most admired by purchasing their work. Stieglitz's photography collection, donated to the Metropolitan by gift in 1933 and bequest following his death in 1946, constitutes the finest gathering of Photo-Secession works anywhere.

This exhibition, which coincides with the exhibition Stieglitz and His Artists: Matisse to O'Keeffe, presents some forty-eight photographic treasures by Anne Brigman, Alvin Langdon Coburn, F. Holland Day, Gertrude Käsebier, Joseph Keiley, Heinrich Kühn, Edward Steichen, Clarence White, and others.

  <Description><![CDATA[Manhattan’s familiar street grid is a work in progress, an evolving creation that began with a bold vision by the city’s commissioners in 1811, but which has been altered and amended by generations of planners, builders, and advocates. What mark will future architects, private developers, and city officials leave on the grid? What new kinds of buildings will they construct within its blocks, and what new ways will they devise for organizing its streets?
 
To answer these questions, the Architectural League of New York, in partnership with the Museum of the City of New York and Architizer, issued a Call for Ideas inviting architects and urban designers to speculate about how Manhattan’s grid might be adapted, extended, or transformed in the future. The Unfinished Grid: Design Speculations for Manhattan presents the eight winning projects, all of which offer provocative ideas for the future of the city.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;Police Work: Photographs by Leonard Freed, 1972-1979&quot; features a selection of vintage prints by the Brooklyn-born photographer who documented &quot;life on the beat&quot; with NYPD officers during the tumultuous 1970s. During a time when New York City faced near bankruptcy and was internationally notorious for its high crime rates and social disorder, Freed's photographs reveal the complexity, the harshness, and the camaraderie of the city's public safety servants and the people they protected. Highlighting a recent gift to the Museum of the City of New York by his widow Bridgette Freed, the exhibition is a gritty, realistic portrait of ordinary people doing a &quot;sometimes boring, sometimes corrupting, sometimes dangerous and ugly and unhealthy job.&quot;]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Lacquer, made from the resin of a family of trees (Rhus verniciflua) native to East Asia, is an amazing material. When tapped from the tree, it is white or light gray and has a consistency similar to that of molasses. When exposed to oxygen and humidity, lacquer polymerizes, or hardens, into a natural plastic that is resistant to water, certain acids, and heat, rendering it an ideal protective covering for objects made of wood and, occasionally, metal.

Produced largely in the south, lacquer has been used in China since at least the sixth century B.C. on serving vessels, boxes, and other containers. When mixed with pigments, particularly red (cinnabar) and black (carbon), lacquer is also used for painting. Historical records indicate that Chinese lacquer was imported into the area near present-day Samarkand as early as the twelfth century, and it is documented in Japanese collections as early as the fourteenth. Lacquers served as diplomatic gifts and luxurious trade goods, and they have been an integral part of the Japanese tea ceremony for centuries.

Organized in celebration of three spectacular gifts to the Museum, this small exhibition explores techniques and themes in Chinese lacquer from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century, a high point in the development of this uniquely Asian artistic tradition. Some works illustrate the carved-lacquer technique, in which multiple layers of lacquer—as many as two hundred—are incised deeply with lush geometric or figural patterns, or scenes of figures in landscapes. Other objects demonstrate related techniques whereby shallower incisions are inlaid with gold, pigment, or minute pieces of mother-of-pearl to create equally ornate surface decoration.

Lacquerware shares the rich visual language found in ceramics, textiles, and paintings, including figural scenes based on Chinese literature and history; mythical creatures such as dragons and phoenixes; birds and other animals; and flowers and plants. Most of these motifs are imbued with meanings, usually auspicious, derived from longstanding cultural traditions. For example, the peony alludes to spring and denotes wealth, while the chrysanthemum symbolizes autumn and longevity. Both flowers frequently are grouped with others, generally lotus and plum, to define the four seasons. Other motifs, such as the Asian flycatcher (shoudainiao), a bird seen often in early carved lacquers, can serve as rebuses emblematic of good wishes. In this instance, shoudainiao can be a proxy for the notion of enduring generations, for the first character of its name, shou, is a homonym for longevity; the second, dai, for generations.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Sarah Sze: Infinite Line is the first exhibition to focus specifically on Sarah Sze's process. It is an exploration of line, literally and figuratively, across mediums from drawings to sculpture to installation. Initially trained in architecture, Sze explores the ways space is both represented and experienced in two and three dimensions. 

Known for her installations, Sze utilizes everyday materials such as disposable plastic eating utensils, notepads, scissors and ladders, among other objects. The exhibition comprises two-dimensional works on paper and a new, large-scale site-specific installation in which she creates a complex web of materials that visually engages the architectural dynamic of a space and invites viewers to reevaluate their relation to their surroundings.

The result of a short residency at Universal Studios in Hollywood, the films, newly restored by the Whitney on their original 35mm format, are testimony to Lichtenstein’s experimentation with form and his fascination with cinema.

  <Description><![CDATA[On May 24, 2011, the Whitney Museum breaks ground on a new building designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano and located between the High Line and the Hudson River Park in the Meatpacking District. In this exhibition, renderings and a model reflecting the building’s innovative design are paired with artist Lawrence Weiner’s language piece HERE THERE &amp; EVERYWHERE; Piano’s design and Weiner’s words suggest that while art can be specific to a site and place, it represents a human cultural achievement that is ephemeral, everywhere, and universal.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition, drawn entirely from the deep holdings of the Whitney Museum’s permanent collection, will focus on the tension and overlap between two strong currents in twentieth century art. Although the term “realism” has many facets, a basic connection to the observable world underlies all of them; the subversion of reality through the imagination and the subconscious lies at the heart of Surrealism. Yet there are convergences in these different and even oppositional approaches to experience, and they encourage new ways of looking at the art of the twenties, thirties, and forties in America. For example, Edward Hopper, famous for chronicling New York urban life, is also a painter whose own subjectivity and imagination are integral to his work. Many artists who developed imagery based on new and very specific, concrete conditions of industrial American, such as Charles Sheeler, were essentially interested in artificial worlds and presented these as distillations of reality. Even totally abstract painters such as Yves Tanguy depended on techniques developed from traditional, realist art to render bizarre worlds. By willfully distorting such techniques, Helen Lundeberg and Mabel Dwight could quietly undercut our sense of stability even while showing us recognizable and even mundane objects and settings. Understanding surrealism as above and beyond the real necessarily ties it to representation and reality, just as realist painting can be imaginative and bizarre without breaking with rational observation. The exhibition will feature approximately 120 works in painting, drawing, photography, and printmaking juxtaposed in ways that elucidate how artists developed qualified degrees of reality where the imagination held more or less sway, depending on intention and influence.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition of Machiel Botman’s black and white photographs from the past ten years is concurrent with the release of his third monograph, One Tree (Nazraeli Press, 2011). A key figure in Dutch photography, Botman has always photographed as a way to understand life. He is not restrained by photographic conventions; rather, Botman utilizes a variety of exposures, depths of field and focal distances, resulting in a style that is uniquely his own. His books are equally singular. They are autobiographical and chronicle the stages in his life, but they do not follow a linear narrative.

Bookmaking itself is another expressive medium for Botman. He is involved in all aspects of the process and works through ideas with book dummies. Like his photographs, Botman’s books are informed by his knowledge of the history of the medium but remain distinctly his. One Tree utitlizes more text than his past books and includes a short story, The Hawk and The Cat. The story evokes the overall tone of the images and tells of a young boy absorbed in his wonder and fascination for a hawk. Botman’s choice of endpapers is a further example of his personal expression. They feature a collage with 20 photographs of 20 leaves, all different, but all from the same tree.

Machiel Botman was born in 1955 in Vogelenzang, The Netherlands. Self-taught, Botman has photographed since the age of 10. In the early 1980s he learned to print by assisting the master printer Philippe Salaün in Paris, who made prints for Willy Ronis, Izis and Robert Doisneau and others.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Frick Collection presents an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist's engagement with the full-length format, which was associated with the official Paris Salon in the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic.  The project was inspired by La Promenade of 1875-76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Frick's permanent collection.  It explores Renoir's portraits and subject pictures of this type from the mid-1870s to mid-1880s.  Intended for public display, these vertical grand-scale canvases are among the artist's most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism.  On view only at the Frick, Renoir, Impressionism, and the Full-Length Format is a landmark exhibition, bringing together, with the Frick painting, several beloved masterpieces from around the world.  Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne (1874) from the National Museum of Art, Cardiff; The Umbrellas (c. 1881 and 1885) from The National Gallery, London (first time since 1886 on view in the United States); and Dance in the City and Dance in the Country (1882-83) from the Musée d'Orsay, Paris.  Works on loan from American institutions are The Dancer (1874) from the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Madame Henriot &quot;en travesti&quot; (1875-76) from the Columbus Museum of Art; Acrobats at the Cirque Fernando (1879) from the Art Institute of Chicago; and Dance at Bougival (1882-83) from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.  The exhibition will be shown in the Frick's Oval Room, a gallery traditionally used for the display of full-length portraits from the institution's permanent collection.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;The Greatest Grid: The Master Plan of Manhattan, 1811-2011&quot; celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Commissioners’ Plan of 1811, the foundational document that established Manhattan’s famous street grid. Featuring an original hand-drawn map of New York's planned streets and avenues prepared by the Commission in 1811, as well as other rare historic maps, photographs and prints of the evolution of the city's streets, and original manuscripts and publications that document the city’s physical growth, the exhibition examines the grid’s initial design, implementation, and evolution. The Greatest Grid traces the enduring influence of the 1811 plan as the grid has become a defining feature of the city, shaping its institutions and public life.  

The exhibition is accompanied by a book of the same name, edited by Hilary Ballon of NYU, who also curated the exhibition, and co-published by the Museum and Columbia University Press.  ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In late 2010 a generous bequest of ten drawings was made to the Frick by the estate of its former Director Charles Ryskamp. During his tenure at the museum, Ryskamp — an avid collector of works on paper and a champion of connoisseurship — strongly promoted drawings exhibitions and establishing additional room for their display in the Cabinet gellery. Appropriately, that will be the setting for the spring 2012 presentation of the ten works from the Charles Ryskamp bequest, their first showing at the institution.

The drawings were chosen out of Ryskamp's extensive collection by Director Anne L. Poulet, Associate Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Colin B. Bailey, and Senior Curator Susan Galassi. Three of them, by artists also acquired by Henry Clay Frick, complement oil paintings in the museum's collection — a landscape in pencil by Pierre-Étienne Rousseau, an early academic nude by Edgar Degas, and a pen-and-ink character study by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Seven others — including Pierre-Joseph Redouté's 1802 watercolor of plums and an undated gouache and watercolor of otter hounds by the Victorian master Sir Edwin Landseer — were selected for their quality and art historical significance, testifying to Charles Ryskamp's particular interest in French and British art of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The other artists represented in the bequest are Eugène Delacroix, George Stubbs, Henry Fuseli, William Blake, and Sir David Wilkie.

  <Description><![CDATA[Aleksandra Mir (b. 1967) develops projects that take her around the world to examine the dynamics of popular cultural myths and historical events. In The Seduction of Galileo Galilei (2011), Mir engages in a dialogue with the seventeenth-century Italian “father of modern science,” in a new video work that documents a collaborative, Galileo-inspired gravitational experiment. A selection of collages from Mir’s series The Dream and the Promise (2008–2009) will accompany the video installation. These works, which combine religious iconography with images and symbols of space travel, allude to the complicated, and not always contentious, relationship between science and faith.

Aleksandra Mir was born in Lublin, Poland, in 1967, and is a dual citizen of Sweden and the United States. She received her BFA at the School for Visual Arts, New York in 1992, and from 1994 to 1996 studied Cultural Anthropology at the New School for Social Research, New York. Mir currently lives and works in London, England.

  <Description><![CDATA[Visitors to The Frick Collection will be able to enjoy a new gallery — the first major addition to the museum's display spaces in nearly thirty-five years. The inspiration for this initiative, which involves the enclosure of the portico in the Fifth Avenue Garden, comes from the intention of museum founder Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919) to build an addition to his 1914 mansion for his growing Collection of sculpture. The project was postponed in 1917 following the United States entry into World War I, and Mr. Frick died before it could be resumed. In recent years, the institution has placed greater focus on sculpture through critically acclaimed exhibitions and several key acquisitions, while also evaluating the effectiveness of the display and lighting of such objects. Another area of increased focus has been the decorative arts. When talks began with renowned porcelain collector Henry H. Arnhold about a promised gift, the idea to create a gallery both for sculpture and the decorative arts was revisited. The architecture firm Aedas developed a plan to integrate the outdoor garden portico into the fabric of the museum, and groundbreaking occurred last winter. Aedas, formerly known as Davis Brody Bond Aedas, is one of the leading practices in the United States engaged in a range of museum and landmark structure commissions.

The Portico Gallery for Decorative Arts and Sculpture opens in late October with an inaugural exhibition of works drawn from Henry Arnhold's promised gift of 131 examples of Meissen porcelain from the early years of this Royal Manufactory's production. &quot;White Gold: Highlights from the Arnhold Collection of Meissen Porcelain&quot; will feature approximately seventy of these objects, presented along with a group of eighteenth-century sculptures by Jean-Antoine Houdon (1740–1828). Among the latter works is the full-length terracotta &quot;Diana the Huntress&quot;, a signature work at the Frick that returns to view having been recently cleaned and treated. It finds a permanent home in the new portico gallery, while the ongoing display of other sculptures and ceramics will rotate periodically.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[From the 1920s through the ‘60s, Manhattan’s artistic and social circles embraced British-born photographer and designer Cecil Beaton (1904-80). Cecil Beaton: The New York Years brings together extraordinary photographs, drawings, and costumes by Beaton to chronicle his impact on the city’s cultural life. Beaton’s relentless energy and curiosity spurred him to pursue new fields, from fashion and portrait photography to costume and scenic design for Broadway, ballet, and opera, and to put his own aesthetic stamp on each of these endeavors.

  <Description><![CDATA[You tawkin' ta me? is an installation of New York City photographs by Jeannette Ferrary about the messages of the street. Taken during the past four years, Ferrary’s photographs depict the variety of life to be found on New York City’s public spaces: New Yorkers going about their day, vendors tending to their business, the myriad of signs posted in public view, and the visual vibrancy of the built environment. Displayed in pairs, the images reverberate off each other, creating a synergy that plays on the element of surprise and often deepens our insight into the moment. Through these juxtapositions and a keenly honed sense of place, Ferrary shows us a town where the tawkin' never stops.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Andrew Roth presents Silent Partner, a one-person exhibition by Rey Akdogan. The exhibition presents a new projection work, and includes a series of subtle alterations to the gallery’s light sources. 

Central to the exhibition is a carousel of 80 glass slides projected through a standard Kodak projector. Akdogan constructs each slide from parts that are cut out from cinematic gels, as well as common wrappers and transparent packaging, finessing them into unique minimal assemblages. The only support structure for the layers are the glass slide mounts that hold them together. The carousel is comprised of a series of short sequences structured around variations in the materials. Their viewing parallels the experience of turning the pages of a book. Several other works in the exhibition incorporate “offcuts” from the materials used in the creation of the slides: they make tangible the ephemeral. 

Akdogan states: “Hundreds of different lighting gels exist for theatrical, architectural, and cinematographic lighting. Every single gel is coded so that it can be used to create particular atmospheres or light conditions. Over the years many different techniques have been developed. Currently, several methods are employed to integrate dyes with polymer bases to create color filters, using technical chemistry to design various atmospheres in light. Much of the everyday packaging around us also includes similar techniques to subtly filter the things it contains. The area between the coding and serialization of an immaterial, psychological concept such as atmosphere and the physical qualities of gels and packaging fascinates me. Gels are treated not as theatrical lighting but materials whose interrelation carry their own logics, and can be arranged and rearranged almost like objects.”

To coincide with the exhibition PPP Editions has published Akdogan’s #46. The book’s title points to the code in the classification system of Rosco lighting gels for magenta, a color first engineered synthetically from coal-tar dyes in the late 1850s. Limited to 200 copies, the book unfolds as a hand-held slide projection, and was conceived as an extended footnote to the carousel and the exhibition’s lighting alterations.

Rey Akdogan was born in Germany and lives and works in New York. She studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[L&amp;M Arts presents a series of twenty-seven unique ink and watercolor drawings by Andy Warhol, c. 1958, of marvelous make-believe millinery that appeared in the 1964 holiday issue of McCall’s magazine. Designed with his particular brand of humor, each hat is identified with a popular fictional or historical character ranging from Scarlett O’Hara to My Fair Lady. 

Accompanying this installation are Warhol’s drawings of shoes from the portfolio A la Recherche du Shoe Perdu, 1955. Collaged, hand-painted, and gilded, each of these drawings reference popular culture with dedications to film stars, fashion icons, and artists, and in doing so, anticipate the superstars and the society portraits that became synonymous with Warhol in the following decades.

  <Description><![CDATA[A new exhibition at China Institute Gallery will explore how theater and art intersected in the realm of the Chinese afterlife.

Since the 1950s and as recently as a few years ago, hundreds of brick tombs from the Jin dynasty (1115-1234) have been excavated in Shanxi province, located in the north central region of China. The exhibition presents more than 80 beautifully sculpted objects revealing a passion for theater and opera in this region during the Jin dynasty. One of the highlights, a re-creation of a newly excavated tomb, will enable visitors to see how thoughtfully prepared art patrons were for the afterlife.

he ancient Chinese believed in an afterlife and imagined they would have needs similar to those they’d had in their lives on earth. Not only were the nobles buried in elaborate tombs filled with household goods, but the tomb décor in Shanxi province, like that of many tombs found in China, featured numerous references to entertainment.
 
Famed for their brick carving, artists in Shanxi developed sophisticated techniques, creating lively sculptural images in the grey bricks, some of them painted with vibrant colors. The most intriguing of the dozens of intricate and dramatic brick carvings found in tombs dating back to the Song dynasty (960-1127) are those depicting theatrical performances.. The carvings serve as evidence of the popularity of the theater in ancient Shanxi, said to be the cradle of Chinese opera and drama, and illustrate two kinds of popular entertainment: Za Ju, formal performances of written plays; and San Qu, performances related to village festivals.
 
Notes Willow Weilan Hai Chang, Director, China Institute Gallery, “The role of theater was crucial to ancient Chinese life in Shanxi. Not only was it an important form of entertainment, but it enlightened people’s lives, providing a moral education. One of the most important aspects of the Chinese value system developed by Confucius is filial piety, respect for parents and ancestors, which provided many story lines in ancient theater.”
 
The most recent discovery of Chinese brick carvings occurred in July 2009, during the renovation of a staff residence for a chemical company in Jishan county in Shanxi province. When construction workers hit a brick wall while digging, they called the local museum. An excavation ensued, revealing an ancient tomb from the Jin dynasty (1115-1234) decorated with magnificent painted brick carvings surrounding one raised coffin bed that contained a couple of skeletons. Assembled for the first time above ground, the reconstructed tomb presented in Theater, Life, and the Afterlife will include 43 of these carved bricks. Adorned with floral motifs, strongman guardians, and the faces and figures of auspicious animals – all carved in brick and painted with colored pigments – the tomb is considered a treasured gem of ancient Chinese art.
 
Among the performances depicted by carvings is the story of the Eight Immortals, who were considered to be actual people with special capabilities not unlike today’s superheroes. These seven men and one woman were the subjects of countless theatrical performances, stories, and poems.
 
Considered one of the most famous of the eight, Lü Dongbin, an actual historical figure, was a well-known Taoist master at the end of the Tang dynasty. Worshipped as a deity, he appears in many legends. Lü was said to have had a youthful look when he was more than a hundred years old – and had such a quick pace that he could travel hundreds of Chinese miles (known as li, about 1,640 feet) in a single moment.
 
Tieguai Li, another of the eight, represents the most dramatic story of reaching immortality: his body was accidentally cremated when it was still in spiritual transience. Thus, Li had to inhabit the body of a homeless man who had just died of starvation. Fortunately, Laozi, the founder of Taoism, provided him with magical medicines, and he was able to care not only for himself but also for the poor , traveling to help them with a gourd full of medicine on his back.
 
Another fascinating story told by the bricks concerns Meng Zong who was worried about his ill mother who craved bamboo shoots in winter. Meng wandered the bamboo forest, discouraged by the impossibility of the request. However, filial piety moved heaven and earth, and bamboo shoots miraculously emerged from a crack in the ground. Meng brought them home and cooked them in a soup for his mother, who subsequently recovered from her illness.
 
Under the direction of Willow Weilan Hai Chang, Director, China Institute Gallery, Theater, Life, and the Afterlife: Tomb Décor of the Jin Dynasty from Shanxi is curated by Shi Jinming, Director, Shanxi Museum, China. This exhibition is made possible, in part, by the generous support of the Henry Luce Foundation and China Institute Friends of the Gallery.

  <Description><![CDATA[Cutting edge artists juxtapose renown sixteenth century Titian masterpiece in Edelman Arts' provocative exhibition St. Sebastian 1530 – 2011.

This inspiring exhibition explores a fresh perspective of St. Sebastian from the Renaissance to the present. St. Sebastian, the universal icon and figure, came into prominence as a visual canon in the early Renaissance as the bound, sensuously semi-nude figure impaled with Roman arrows. This exhibition is anchored by Titian’s portrait from c. 1530, a striking illustration of the artist’s virtuosic abilities to work with light and color to infuse St. Sebastian with life and emotion. In direct view of Titian’s masterpiece are contemporary depictions of St. Sebastian by Doug Argue, Red Grooms, Carlos Betancourt, Eric Rhein, Marcia Grostein, Cynthia Karalla, Cathy McClure, Michael Murphy and Christopher Winter.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition quietly observes a group of works on paper over a 60-year period by a disparate set of artists, chiefly British and American, whose primary common denominator is an eye towards abstraction. Ideally it will give the viewer an opportunity to observe various means of expressing abstraction on paper that are both fluent and expansive - it is not about a hard edge or geometric visual language so much as an organic and ephemeral discourse.Discursive Abstraction: Works on Paper from the 1950s to the present.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Hunter College Art Galleries present Peripheral Visions: Italian Photography in Context, 1950s-Present. This landmark exhibition showcases, for the first time in the United States, the works of major Italian photographers who have explored an alternative image of the country: a landscape bound to urban edges, focused on the discarded and the marginal, and deeply connected to a new identity which has developed side by side to the industrial and global transformation of Italian cities. The Hunter College Art Galleries are proud to share these innovative works with the Hunter Community and the City of New York. This group exhibition retraces the history back to the fifties, when photographers like Paolo Monti and Mario Carrieri focused on the blight and the beauty of a city like Milan, where an increasing urban sprawl was creating new social peripheries. The conceptual practices of Franco Vaccari and Ugo Mulas reveal the dynamic dialogue between photography and the overall artistic culture, leading up to Luigi Ghirri’s photography of a new Italian landscape that he treated with a particular color palette. Ghirri’s emphasis on the evocative power of the everyday recurs throughout the show and informs more recent and contemporary visions by artists such as Vincenzo Castella, Massimo Vitali, Francesco Jodice, and Paola Di Bello, among others. The installation also includes film-clips from well-known Italian movies, books and magazines where these photographs have been circulated, and a digital project built to illustrate pages from architectural magazines like Casabella, Domus and other archival sources. 
 
The Hunter College Art Galleries, under the auspices of the Department of Art and Art History, has been a vital aspect of the New York cultural landscape since its inception over a quarter-century ago. This exhibition, curated by Maria Antonella Pelizzari, Professor of Art History at Hunter College, is the result of an educational process developed with graduate students, who have been engaged in the curatorial process at every level. This project underscores the galleries’ unique ability to share the highest levels of academic scholarship and curatorial connoisseurship with the student community and the general public, thus facilitating a dynamic cultural exchange.

  <Description><![CDATA[McCaffrey Fine Art presenst its first solo exhibition of the work of Noriyuki Haraguchi. On the occasion of this exhibition, &quot;Works from Yokosuka&quot;, the artist has constructed a full-scale replica of the tail of a US Navy A-7E Corsair II jet, created from raw stretched canvas, aluminum, and plywood. This monumental sculpture will be shown in conjunction with a selection of works that he created between 1963 and 1972.

Noriyuki Haraguchi first came to prominence in the late 1960s, developing paintings and sculptures that engaged with cultural and environmental issues through a post-minimalist vocabulary. The artist was born in 1946 and raised in the town of Yokosuka, the home port of the US Navy's 7th Fleet since the end of hostilities in 1945. Yokosuka's large sailor population has made it a flash point in cultural relations between Japan and the United States. It was also the primary Japanese naval base from which the Vietnam War was fought, which incited antiwar and pro-pacifist protests in Japan.

In November 1968, while Haraguchi was still a student at Nihon University, Tokyo, riots broke out at the university in protest against the war in Vietnam, the presence of US military on Japanese soil, and the Japanese-American security treaty (ANPO agreement). An encounter with the exhaust vent and tail of a US Navy jet fighter being transported onto the Yokosuka Navy Base one evening in late 1968 proved decisive in cementing Haraguchi's politically infused minimalist aesthetic and inspired his first magnum opus, A-4E Skyhawk (1969). Constructed behind the barricades at Nihon University amid the riots, Haraguchi handcrafted a full-scale plywood reproduction of the tail of the aircraft. He also completed a series of monochrome white Air Pipe constructions (1968–69) of stretched canvas on plywood armatures that resemble jet engine exhausts. The A-4E Skyhawk was exhibited in 1969 in Tokyo before being returned to Nihon University, where it was subsequently destroyed by riot police and the university authorities.

The A-7 E Corsair II jet tail is the fifth sculpture of Vietnam-era American warplanes that Haraguchi has completed since 1968–69. In the exhibition, it will be accompanied by two examples from the Air Pipe series (1969), along with a lacquered paper battleship sculpture from the Ship series (1963–65) and Tsumu 147 (1966), a life-size rendition of the doors of a freight wagon. These works evince an early and acute awareness of the aesthetics of militarism and heavy industry that continues to inspire Haraguchi's distinctive body of work. 

Haraguchi's work first came to prominence in the West in 1977 at Documenta, where his Oil Pool sculpture attracted a great deal of attention. Since then, his work has only occasionally been seen in the United States and Europe, most notably at the Lenbachhaus in Munich in 2001. Retrospective exhibitions of his work have recently been held at BankART, Yokohama, Japan, in 2009, and the Yokosuka Museum of Art in 2011. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Allan Stone Gallery presents &quot;Remarkable Treasures: Folk Art from the Allan Stone Collection&quot;, the gallery’s second exhibition at its new East 82nd Street location. From primitivist painting, antique carousel animals, and cigar store figures, to weather vanes, store signs and prison art, this exhibition gathers over twenty five rare, prized, whimsical and bizarre folk art treasures from the collection of legendary art dealer and collector Allan Stone. Though he is most recognized for handling New York School artists such as Willem de Kooning and Joseph Cornell, Allan Stone had a covetous appetite for any aesthetic object that manifests formal vitality, visceral intrigue, unself-conscious conviction and personal vision. Combined with passionate connoisseurship, this appetite brought together the extraordinarily rich cross section of folk art and Americana from which this exhibition is drawn.

Many of the works in this exhibition were selected for their significance in the field of folk art and others for their universal accessibility or visceral impact. Most of the pieces on view were made with a utilitarian purpose that became illuminated by formal expression through the crafting process, such as a chair made of beer cans, a weather vane in the form of a rooster or an elliptical clock decorated with one giant eye. Several non-utilitarian objects in the show touch on the facetious and bizarre, such as a cluster of ghoulish figures made from gnarled roots or a small pine cone figure wearing a tiny leather jacket. Paintings in the exhibition range from nautical subjects and primitive figuration to invented fantasy landscapes.

Some of the highlights include an exceptional circa 1880 carved and painted pine “Turk” cigar store figure attributed to Samuel Robb from New York, an antique carousel camel with its original bridle still attached, a peculiarly lifelike bust of Henry Clay, and a celebrated work of “prison art” from the collection depicting a carved polychrome gorilla in stiff contraposto. On the lyrical side is an anonymous abstract figure of a man poised in a serene dance-like gesture, carved from wood in a manner reminiscent of Nadelman or early Brancusi. The beckoning sweep of his arm and the gently nuanced surface of this work fittingly convey the élan permeating the entire Allan Stone collection.

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition Gym Lessons  presents a selection of the latest works by students from the Faculty of Art and Design at the J. E. Purkyne University in Usti nad Labem. Exercise in its very real form is the main theme of the exhibition and as such is manifested in the presented works.  However, the title Gym Lessons also refers to the fact that all of the exhibited works came to life during the university studies as a school exercise of some sort. All of the works incorporate an apparent attempt to interpret physicality as an intimate individual expression as well as a socializing process referring to the phenomenon of learning or social skills acquisition. 
The artworks will be presented in the form of video installations (Miroslav Hašek, Adéla Marková, Libor Ptáčník), wall installations (Blanka Kirchner, Karel Konopka) and photography (Margareta Turčínová).

The Faculty of Art and Design at the J. E. Purkyne University was established in 1993 in the city of Ústí nad Labem, which is located in the northwestern region of Bohemia (the former Sudetenland).  The Faculty of Art and Design at the J. E. Purkyne University is a dynamic and growing institution focused on education in the area of contemporary art, new media and design.]]></Description>

The exhibition will introduce 30 posters for films that Forman made both in Czechoslovakia and in the US.

Among the top pieces that will be on display are the posters by Jiri Slitr for the film Audition and collage posters by Vladimir Bidlo for the comedy The Firemen’s Ball.

The selection will also contain several rare works by Polish, Hungarian and East German artists. The famous poster designed by Peter Sis for the US distribution of Amadeus will be the highlight of the show.

  <Description><![CDATA[Ten43 Gallery is proud to announce the first New York exhibition of paintings by Russian Emerging artist Maria Garkavenko.

Human psyche is the signature mark of artist Maria Garkavenko’s work. Elegant curves compose androgynous silhouettes accentuating the strength of figures in her paintings. The eleven compositions in this exhibition are a balance of line, color and shape that combined with her choice of tone elicits a confidence of calm. Universal symbols such as bowls, moons and trees are depicted in a flat folk art style meets hieroglyphic sensibility.

Garkavenko’s work evokes triune thoughts of a unity between human, spirit and soul existing in moments of time. Two figures are joined through braided hair, creating a trinity with the moon floating above. The energy that bursts from these canvases stems from the bold color and silence the work explores. We feel as though we are peeking into the inner most thoughts and rituals of the subjects.

Her ontological question of existence is visible on the canvases. The atmospheric balance achieved through flat color and line alludes to the artist’s desire for harmony and inner peace. This artist’s journey is a constant pursuit of the inspection of the soul and self-analysis combined with a simplistic voice of artistic expression.

Maria Garkavenko was born in Leningradin, 1980. She earned herd egree in classical art at the Stirlitz Academy of Art. In 2006 she was honored with membership to the prestigious union of artists.

She lives and works in St. Petersburg, Russia. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The National Academy’s Annual exhibition features works by over 100 artists and architects juxtaposing contemporary masters with emerging and mid-career artists. 

This year’s new format has been designed to reveal the cross-generational dialogue occurring in the art world by showcasing Academicians and other invited artists and architects.

&quot;Presenting three generations of artists and architects, this exhibition illustrates the continuum of American art,&quot; says Marshall Price, the Academy’s Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. &quot;The new format contextualizes contemporary art, indicating an evolution to 'new.' With a nod to the Academy's historic Annual, the 2012 exhibition is a forum for divergent aesthetic inclinations and in some cases for social issues being addressed by artists and architects.&quot;

This vibrant cross-generational exchange is evident throughout the Annual from the paintings of Philip Pearlstein and Ellen Altfest, to abstractions by Karl Benjamin and Stephen Westfall. Similarly in architecture, Chicago-based architect and 2011 MacArthur “Genius” Award recipient Jeanne Gang has inherited the mantle from Laurence Booth in this city rich in architectural history.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[L. Parker Stephenson Photographs presents John Cohen Early Work: 1954-1957, an exhibition of photographs by filmmaker, musician, and photographer, John Cohen.
 
The exhibition features Cohen's early photographs, some never before seen, of the streets of New Haven, Connecticut, and rousing gospel gatherings in New York City. While attending Yale University in the 1950's, Cohen often left the painting studio to photograph the surrounding neighborhood and was drawn to the wide-ranging activities on Oak Street. The images act as a portal into a parallel world; the life of the gypsies, boxers and children in the street. In fact, the first public display of the artist's photographs took place in the gypsies' storefront window - the photographs having been decorated by the gypsies with lipstick.
 
In contrast to the quiet New Haven scenes, energy bursts forth as music takes control of the men, women and children in gospel churches Cohen discovered in Brooklyn and Harlem. The Jazz Review issued a multi-paged photo essay of the series in 1959, making it Cohen's first published work.
 
This exhibition coincides with Library of Congress' acquisition of John Cohen's archive. By acknowledging the exceptional nature of his wide-ranging oeuvre, the Library will make his photographs, films and recordings accessible to researchers and the public.
 
Through photography, Cohen (b. 1932) documented one of the most transformative eras in American arts. From the Beat film Pull My Daisy and gallery happenings by early performance artists, to young Bob Dylan's arrival in New York and Abstract Expressionist gatherings at the Cedar Bar, Cohen was present to record what are now historical events in the late 1950's and early 60's. Beyond the United States, Cohen traveled extensively to Peru, driven by a fascination for the weaving and lifestyle of the native Andean population. Photographs and recordings are available in Past, Present, Peru (2010) a multi-volume set produced by Steidl. More John Cohen titles by Steidl are expected out this year and next. Signed copies of his first monograph, There is No Eye (2001), are available at the gallery.
 
Cohen's photographs have been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions and are in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, New York Public Library, Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, and Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
 
Cohen is also well known and has been greatly influential in the world of American folk music. As founding member of the band The New Lost City Ramblers in 1958, he was also the driving force for the field's revival and appreciation. In his quest to follow its roots he visited Appalachia to witness, film and record a vanishing generation of musicians and singers. CDs of his field recordings and his own bands are available through Smithsonian Folkways Records and he continues to perform regularly.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Michael Werner Gallery presents an exhibition of works by Wilhelm Lehmbruck (1881-1919). The first major Lehmbruck exhibition in the United States in more than two decades, Wilhelm Lehmbruck provides a unique opportunity to view significant works by a European artist rarely seen in America.

Wilhelm Lehmbruck is an important figure in the development of modernism and the first German sculptor of the twentieth century to significantly impact art on an international scale. A contemporary of Auguste Rodin and Aristide Maillol, Lehmbruck's contribution to sculpture was distinctly modern. His achievement was of particular importance to a later generation of sculptors, chief among them Joseph Beuys, who openly credited his predecessor's work as the inspiration to begin his own work in sculpture.

In 1895, at the age of 14, Lehmbruck entered the School of Arts and Crafts in Düsseldorf and later received specialized studies at the Düsseldorf Academy - training typical for aspiring sculptors of the time. He adhered to tradition during his Academy years, though he remained mindful of modern developments in painting and sculpture, vis a vis Rodin and other artists working in Paris at that time. A major Rodin exhibition, presented in Düsseldorf in 1904, made a deep impression on Lehmbruck and allowed him to conceive of a break with the traditions that had guided him during his student years. Beginning in 1907 Lehmbruck made several trips to Paris and eventually settled there in 1910. It was in Paris that his unique style began to emerge. Gradually moving away from the neoclassical foundations of his work, he began to fuse elements from his traditional formal vocabulary with a range of sources including Romanticism and the Gothic.

Lehmbruck's specifically modern contribution to sculpture lay in an innovative approach to materials, notably in his use of cast stone, a recently developed industrial material. This experimentation encouraged his interest in fragmentation, another important quality of the artist's modern sensibility. Lehmbruck often preferred to rework or recast elements from his existing sculptures, rather than to conceive of entirely new forms. Figures could be recast in stone or terracotta, for example, and given various patinas; or, the head or torso from a larger figure could be isolated and recast in different media. Lehmbruck exploited his experiments with materials and form to augment the emotional tenor of his works, all in an effort to achieve the deepest possible feeling.

Lehmbruck participated in the famous Armory Show of 1913 and had his first solo exhibition in 1914, at Galerie Levesque in Paris. With the outbreak of World War I, he returned to Germany, arriving first in Cologne and Düsseldorf and later Berlin. During the war he worked briefly in a field hospital. His already fragile sensibility, fraught with self-doubt and prone to melancholy, did not withstand the horrors of war. Tragically, he took his own life in 1919 at the age of 38, leaving no immediately apparent successor. While the Nazis would later denounce Lehmbruck as &quot;degenerate&quot;, his work became for many a symbol of creative freedom. Joseph Beuys, in a moving acceptance speech given on the occasion of being awarded the Lehmbruck Prize in 1986, honored the artist as his inspiration and mentor. As his biographer Paul Westheim wrote in 1922, describing the artist's sadly truncated legacy, &quot;Lehmbruck's art remains a torso...He has given us much that is significant, but, judging from his beginnings, we had the right to expect more...&quot;

Wilhelm Lehmbruck features more than a dozen sculptures by the artist, including several rare lifetime bronze and stone casts as well as unique plaster and terracotta figures. Also included in the exhibition is a large selection of related etchings, many of them unique impressions. The graphic works are remarkable for their physicality and, like his sculptures, they exploit the emotive qualities of their material to reach beyond mere depiction toward something deeper.

Wilhelm Lehmbruck is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue featuring a text by art historian and curator Annabelle Ténèze.
