SUMMARY:Isaac Julien: Lessons of the Hour — Frederick Douglass
DESCRIPTION:Sir Isaac Julien’s moving image installation Lessons of the Hour (2019) interweaves period reenactments across five screens to create a vivid picture of nineteenth-century activist\, writer\, orator\, and philosopher Frederick Douglass. Through critical research\, fictional reconstruction\, and a marriage of poetic image and sound\, Julien asserts Douglass’ enduring lessons of justice\, abolition\, and freedom that remain just as relevant today. \nLessons of the Hour features passages from Douglass’ key speeches\, including the titular “Lessons of the Hour\,” “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” and “Lecture on Pictures.” \nJulien weaves together reenacted scenes from Douglass’ life and lectures\, filming at his historic home in Washington\, DC\, and a restaged studio of famed Black photographer J.P. Ball (1825–1904) as he makes a portrait of Douglass. Images of contemporary Baltimore—the city where Douglass was enslaved and escaped from bondage in 1838—including footage of fireworks and protests in 2015 following the death of Freddie Gray\, Jr. while in police custody\, are interspersed as the struggle to make good on America’s promise of equality continues. \nLessons of the Hour was jointly acquired by SAAM and the National Portrait Gallery in 2023. The 28-minute work debuted for Washington audiences December 8\, 2023\, and remains on public view through the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States in 2026. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Held Impermanence (Artists Select: Katherine Simóne Reynolds)
DESCRIPTION:The Clyfford Still Museum’s guest-curated exhibition\, Held Impermanence (Artists Select: Katherine Simóne Reynolds)\, illuminates multiple competing desires held in constant tension within the Museum. Organized by award-winning filmmaker\, artist\, and curator Katherine Simóne Reynolds\, the exhibition draws deeply on CSM’s collections. The exhibition runs from January 25–September 14\, 2025. \nAccording to Reynolds\, the collection testifies to Still’s ambitious attempt to keep his entire corpus intact. The commitment to the integrity of that body of work allows viewers to see not only the acclaimed masterpieces but also paintings made in painful transitions and others that bear the scars of time. Artworks change over time; their materials carry the stain of what conservators describe as inherent vice. Viewers see paintings that need to rest and heal\, bearing marks that suggest\, through their surfaces\, condition\, and textures\, metaphors of viscera\, bile\, and wounds. \nIn the Museum’s six largest galleries\, Reynolds’s exhibition asks viewers how they view healing over time\, respond with their bodies to this corpus\, and how they might approach Still’s achievements from a perspective that contends with his and their own senses of mortality—and with it\, a shared desire to hold impermanence. \nKatherine Simóne Reynolds is an artist\, scholar\, and curator who investigates emotional dialects and psychogeographies of Blackness within the Black Midwestern landscape. Her art physicalizes emotions and experiences through photo-based works\, film\, choreography\, sculpture\, and anxious writing practice. She has exhibited in national and international group and solo shows. \n  \nReynolds chose several paintings with condition issues to highlight the impact of conservation throughout the exhibition. She also selected a collection of archival photographs\, letters\, and notes to demonstrate the themes and emotions throughout the exhibition and two original archival objects. The Museum expands on exhibition content and Reynolds’ curatorial process in its free mobile guide on Bloomberg Connects. CSM also offers visitors two takeaway resources in the exhibition’s first gallery\, including Essays on Held Impermanence\, a companion booklet to the exhibition\, and Exploring Feelings and Art: A Family Guide. \nHeld Impermanence follows a chronological display of Still’s works in the Museum’s first three galleries. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Hugh Hayden: American Vernacular
DESCRIPTION:In Hugh Hayden’s first solo museum presentation on the West Coast\, the complexities of identity\, desire\, and belonging are explored through meticulously crafted and darkly humorous wooden sculptures and multimedia installations. From tree bark-hewn designer shoes to basketball hoops woven from grain stalks\, the artist’s works reveal how everyday objects reflect the values and tensions of our society. Centered around thematic touchstones like athletics\, food\, fashion\, and childhood\, Hayden’s art provokes us to rethink the ordinary and explore how “vernacular” items carry multifaceted stories that encompass the joy\, pain\, and resilience woven into the fabric of American life. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Pao Houa Her: The Imaginative Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Pao Houa Her’s practice engages with the legacies\, potentials\, and aesthetics of landscape and portrait photography traditions\, examining the complex intertwining of desire\, homeland\, and artifice. Rooted in the experience of her Hmong community and shaped by family experiences and lore passed down by her elders\, Her’s work centers women as the knowledge bearers of both past and future. Using a formally rigorous photographic approach\, Her explores constructions of homeland that resonate across diasporas.  \nPao Houa Her: The Imaginative Landscape is an unconventional survey of over 20 years. Seen through the expansive titular series\, it traces conceptual ties between past series\, new work\, and work still under development\, connecting California agricultural landscapes to the jungles of Laos\, poppy fields in Minnesota\, and beyond. The exhibition is co-organized by Lauren Schell Dickens\, chief curator at SJMA\, and Jodi Throckmorton\, chief curator at John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan\, Wisconsin\, and will be presented at both organizations simultaneously.  \n  Save

SUMMARY:Robert Wilson: Animals reception
DESCRIPTION:Winston Wächter Fine Art\, New York is pleased to present Robert Wilson: Animals\, an exhibition of video portraits by renowned theater director and visual artist Robert Wilson. This solo exhibition presents Wilson’s captivating series of animal portraits—featuring snow owls\, a black panther\, skunk\, an elk\, and more. These portraits showcase Wilson’s acclaimed mastery of light and color and reflect his fascination with animals\, which he describes as having “a way of listening interiorly.” \nWilson first debuted his video portraiture at Paula Cooper Gallery in his 2007 exhibition\, where he staged a series of high-definition video portraits featuring artists\, musicians\, actors\, animals\, and other notable figures. Animals is the first exhibition devoted exclusively to his animal portraits\, created over the years since that initial presentation\, including video works from his 2016 collaboration with Hermès. \nThe Hermès installation at Cedar Lake in New York City\, titled Here Elsewhere\, brought together Robert Wilson’s avant-garde vision with Hermès’ renowned commitment to craftsmanship and material excellence. Animal portraits were interwoven with pieces from the Hermès collection\, alongside sound and performance\, to create a fully immersive\, 360-degree environment. Works such as Quincy (Red fox) from the series Hermès by Nature demonstrate how Wilson’s scenographic sensibility amplified the narrative power of both the portraits and the surrounding elements. \nWithin these portraits\, Robert Wilson explores numerous references to mythology\, art history\, and popular culture. His Snowy Owls references the owl in Greek mythology which was often associated with Athena\, goddess of wisdom\, arts\, and skill. Similarly\, in his portrait of an Elk\, the animal stands almost motionless within a stark setting as subtle movements such as the flick of an ear or the rise and fall of the elk’s breath\, slowly reveal themselves. In Wilson’s Panther piece\, the artist’s signature use of theatrical lighting enhances the sense of quiet drama. The backdrop is spare\, recalling the atmosphere of a stage set or a dream. \nBy incorporating a multitude of creative elements; lighting\, gesture\, text\, voice\, set design\, and narrative – the video portraits act as a synthesis of all the media in the realm of Wilson’s art making. The medium is video but the form blurs time-based cinematography with the frozen moment of still photography. The final result on the screen resembles a photograph\, but on closer inspection reveals Wilson’s highly developed theatrical language in a striking visual experience that is both meditative and deeply expressive. \nBorn in Waco\, Texas\, Robert Wilson is among the world’s foremost theater and visual artists. His works for the stage unconventionally integrate a wide variety of artistic media\, including dance\, movement\, lighting\, sculpture\, music and text. His images are aesthetically striking and emotionally charged\, and his productions have earned the acclaim of audiences and critics worldwide. After being educated at the University of Texas and Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute\, Wilson founded the New York-based performance collective “The Byrd Hoffman School of Byrds” in the mid-1960s\, and developed his first signature works. With Philip Glass he wrote the seminal opera Einstein on the Beach (1976). Wilson’s artistic collaborators include many writers and musicians such as Heiner Müller\, Tom Waits\, Susan Sontag\, Laurie Anderson\, William Burroughs\, Lou Reed\, Jessye Norman and Anna Calvi. He has also left his imprint on masterworks such as Beckett’s Krapp’s Last Tape\, Brecht/Weill’s Threepenny Opera\, Debussy’s Pelléas et Melisande\, Puccini’s Madama Butterfly\, Verdi’s La Traviata and several of Shakespeare’s works. Wilson’s drawings\, paintings and sculptures have been presented around the world in hundreds of solo and group showings\, and his works are held in private collections and museums throughout the world. Wilson has been honored with numerous awards for excellence\, including a Pulitzer Prize nomination\, two Premio Ubu awards\, the Golden Lion of the Venice Biennale\, and an Olivier Award. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, as well as the German Academy of the Arts\, and holds 8 Honorary Doctorate degrees. He is a Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters and Officer of the Legion of Honor in France\, bearer of the German Officer’s Cross of the Order of Merit\, and laureate of the 2023 Praemium Imperiale. Wilson is the founder and Artistic Director of The Watermill Center\, a laboratory for the Arts in Water Mill\, New York. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Edna Andrade: Imagination Is Never Static
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate a 20th-century artist whose innovative abstract drawings and paintings continue to inspire. \nEdna Andrade: Imagination Is Never Static offers a new look at the practice of acclaimed artist and educator Edna Andrade (1917–2008). Presenting a selection of drawings recently gifted to the Harvard Art Museums by the artist’s estate\, this exhibition emphasizes the central role of drawing as well as interdisciplinary exploration in her art and in modernist movements of the 20th century. \nAndrade is best known for her geometric compositions\, which were inspired by her interest in studying structures in nature\, architecture\, astronomy\, mathematics\, and art history. She carried this same set of wide-ranging inspirations and inquiry to her teaching. Her classroom bridged her own traditional artistic training of drawing from observation and the principles of the Bauhaus school that transformed U.S. arts curricula after faculty émigrés took up leadership positions in art and architecture programs\, such as Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. Andrade taught courses on color and design at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art and was part of an intellectual salon called Form Forum\, which brought mathematicians\, artists\, architects\, and philosophers together in an exchange of ideas. Presented on a university campus\, the exhibition explores the way that Andrade used drawing as a process of experimentation\, channeling her own multifaceted approach to art and design. \nCurated by Mitra Abbaspour\, Houghton Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art and Head of the Division of Modern and Contemporary Art\, and Madeline Murphy Turner\, Emily Rauh Pulitzer Curatorial Fellow in Contemporary Drawings; with Bridget Hinz\, Senior Curatorial Assistant for Special Exhibitions and Publications. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Performance\, Activist\, and Existential Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Ronald Feldman Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition: \nPerformance\, Activist\, and Existential Photographs  \nA selection of photographs and photo-based works by: \nVincenzo Agnetti\, Elaine Angelopoulos\, Eleanor Antin\, Arakawa\, Conrad Atkinson\, Brandon Ballengée\, Joseph Beuys\, Chris Burden\, Cassils\, Chuck Close\, Keith Cottingham\, Terry Fox\, Tom Friedman\, Rico Gatson\, Helen & Newton Harrison\, Komar & Melamid\, Lev Nisnevich\, Robert Rauschenberg\, Man Ray\, Gerhard Richter\, Cindy Sherman\, Dmitry Shubin\, Tavares Strachan\, Diemut Strebe\, Hiroshi Sugimoto\, Eve Sussman\, Mierle Laderman Ukeles\, Andy Warhol\, Hannah Wilke \nThis selection is inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s belief that the concept behind the artwork is more important than its visual or material form.  This radical shift away from materiality created a foundation for artists to challenge traditional artistic forms and practices and opened the door to bold new directions.  All of the artists included use their work to probe into an array of subject matters\, and often redefine art in the process.  If approached with an open mind\, the photographs invite and inspire viewers to question their own assumptions about what art is.  This exhibition presents a cross-section of Ronald Feldman Gallery’s significant history and commitment to idea-driven work. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Heather Stivison-Ebb & Flow: The Many Faces of Water
DESCRIPTION:In her third New York City solo exhibition\, Heather Stivison explores the intersection of environmental science and visual art in immersive paintings of the ocean. Her latest exhibition\, Ebb & Flow: The Many Faces of Water opens on September 2 at Pleiades Gallery\, 547 West 27th Street\, Suite 304. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday\, 12-6 p.m. \n  \nSome of the paintings on view are the result of Stivison’s multi-year\, grant funded collaboration with Noah Germolus\, a scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute who was researching ocean chemistry. This collaboration led to a unique special feature of this exhibition. After Stivison interpreted his data in paint\, he in turn\, interpreted four of her paintings in music. The exhibition includes a play-on-demand sound installation of original jazz music composed and performed by Germolus. \n  \nCurator Renee Phillips writes\, “Stivison ventures beyond nature’s physical boundaries into abstraction with the profusion of free-flowing biomorphic patterns and tonal ranges. In her paintings the innate attributes of water evolve into metaphors\, symbolism and visual poetry.” \n  \nThe exhibition features a sampling of the many ways Stivison’s oil and acrylic paintings capture the essence of water. Searching for water’s most primary qualities\, she uses light\, color\, form\, shape\, line\, to engender a sense of water. Stivison is fascinated by the reflections and patterns created by the coastal ocean surface. She paints variations on patterns\, exploring how much she can change them and still maintain the sense that the subject is surface water. Other paintings explore chemical mysteries within specific ocean zones of exploration. A massive 110-inch quadriptych offers a sense of weightlessness and mystery that she finds in the unknown ocean depths. \n  \nIndependent curator Kathy Imlay writes\, “Stivison’s paintings have a luminous glow—accomplished by the artist building up layer upon layer of viscous paint\, which she pours\, smears\, scrapes and otherwise manipulates to create fields of color that conjure the watery depths of the ocean or intergalactic space\, depending on the palette.” \n  \nHeather Stivison is an award-winning artist who has exhibited from coast to coast in the United States and in juried shows in Asia and Europe.

SUMMARY:Alcatraz is an Idea
DESCRIPTION:RYAN LEE Gallery is pleased to announce Alcatraz is an Idea\, an exhibition of work across media including video\, lightboxes\, and an acrylic pigment print on wood. Making its East Coast debut\, the centerpiece two-channel video with vinyl mural is a collaboration between Kota Ezawa and Julian Brave NoiseCat that depicts the 2019 Alcatraz Canoe Journey that commemorated 50 years since the Alcatraz Occupation.  \nEzawa used hand-drawn animation to re-interpret footage of the canoes traversing San Francisco Bay. Co-organized by NoiseCat\, the event invited Indigenous peoples from across the West Coast and beyond to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the 1969 occupation of Alcatraz Island by the activist group Indians of All Tribes. The video installation was exhibited earlier this year at Ezawa’s landmark solo exhibition at the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco\, Kota Ezawa: Here and There — Now and Then.  \n  Save

SUMMARY:Peter Hujar: The Gracie Mansion Show Revisited
DESCRIPTION:In Peter Hujar: The Gracie Mansion Show Revisited\, Fraenkel Gallery recreates the now-legendary exhibition that took place in New York’s East Village in 1986\, one year before the artist’s death. For the show\, Gracie Mansion Gallery presented 70 photographs including portraits of friends and fellow artists\, nudes\, landscapes\, and pictures of animals and abandoned buildings. Hung in a long grid two rows high\, the exhibition freely mixed genres and subjects\, creating a sequence that encouraged multiple associations. Fraenkel Gallery’s new exhibition presents a version of the original 1986 layout\, offering contemporary viewers a chance to experience Hujar’s work as he conceived it. This will be Fraenkel Gallery’s sixth exhibition of Hujar’s work since 2002. The gallery will hold a public reception for the show and a concurrent exhibition Katy Grannan: Mad River on Saturday\, September 13\, from 2-4pm. \nThe 1986 exhibition\, titled Peter Hujar: Recent Photographs\, was the artist’s eighth and final solo show. Before his death\, Hujar was recognized for his extraordinary photographs by a small but influential group in downtown New York that included avant-garde artists\, writers\, and performers\, a circle that often overlapped with his portrait subjects. By the time of the show\, his work had been featured in solo exhibitions in New York and Europe\, and he had published one catalogue and his only book\, Portraits in Life and Death. Gallerist Gracie Mansion organized the exhibition with Sur Rodney (Sur)\, at the suggestion of Hujar’s close friend\, artist David Wojnarowicz. The gallery had included Hujar’s work in group shows\, but Recent Photographs was his first solo exhibition since 1981. Following a difficult period\, Hujar had perhaps hoped for sales as the market for photography began to grow\, but very few photographs sold. While the show was not a commercial success\, the opening reception drew an enthusiastic crowd\, followed by an after-party in the Mike Todd Room at the Palladium nightclub. “Looking back to his show\, it drew so many of the New York luminaries\,” recalls Mansion. “Peter was a star. The show was a triumph.” \nBeyond its memorable opening night\, the exhibition’s expansive approach and distinctive format provide valuable insight into the artist’s thinking about his work. Matted and hung inches apart\, the photographs are sequenced so that images from the same genre rarely follow each other in any direction. A cow chews straw across from English actor David Warrilow\, photographed nude. A portrait of Warhol superstar Jackie Curtis dead in a coffin abuts a New Jersey landscape and a drag queen showing off a tattooed thigh. Fashion editor Diana Vreeland sits next to a close-up showing the feet of Australian artist and dancer Vali Meyer and a trash pit in Queens. The arrangement highlights the individuality of every person\, place\, or animal\, inviting the viewer to move in and out of the grid as connections between images grow and fade or shift. As Hujar once noted\, “I photograph those who push themselves to any extreme. That’s what interests me\, and people who cling to the freedom to be themselves.” Rather than comparing his subjects with each other\, he was determined to see the singularity in each\, an aim the exhibition supports. \n  Save

SUMMARY:MERCEDES MATTER
DESCRIPTION:Berry Campbell is pleased to announce a landmark retrospective of paintings and works on paper by Mercedes Matter (1913-2001). A painter\, educator\, and a key figure in Abstract Expressionism\, Matter is best known for founding the New York Studio School in 1964\, following the publication of her influential essay\, “What’s Wrong with U.S. Art Schools?” in ARTnews. \nThe exhibition presents works spanning Matter’s career\, from early figurative drawings in Hofmann’s classroom to dynamic large-scale canvases and incisive late charcoals. Together\, they reveal an artist of deep formal command and emotional range\, one whose legacy lies not only in her art\, but in her transformative role as founder of the New York Studio School. As Christina Kee says at the end of her essay for the exhibition: “Her works are an offering of a hard-won painter’s space – a place for giving as she was given to.” \nThe exhibition opens September 5\, 2025\, with a reception from 6 to 8 pm\, and remains on view through October 4\, 2025. \nMatter occupies an extraordinary place in postwar American art. As a founding member of the American Abstract Artists group in 1936\, she was among the earliest champions of abstraction in the United States\, working to further understanding of abstract art in an American art world still resistant to this concept. In the 1940s and ’50s\, Matter was at the heart of the New York School\, one of only three female voting members of “The Club.” As a close friend of Hans Hofmann\, Willem de Kooning\, Arshile Gorky\, Lee Krasner\, and Jackson Pollock\, she was a peer whose intellect\, charisma\, and formidable painting practice earned her equal footing in a movement often dominated by men. She helped shape the conversations around Abstract Expressionism\, while producing paintings and drawings of exceptional rigor and vitality. \nHer work\, which straddles the line between representation and abstraction\, reflects a lifelong investigation into the “picture plane\,” the dynamic space where surface meets depth. Abstracted still lifes\, landscapes\, and figure compositions vibrate with her bold brushstrokes\, saturated color\, and structural intelligence. She absorbed the lessons of her father\, modernist painter Arthur Beecher Carles\, and her mentor Hans Hofmann\, but forged her own path\, one that embraced both the intensity of perception and the freedom of abstract form. \nThe exhibition presents works spanning Matter’s career\, from early figurative drawings in Hofmann’s classroom to dynamic large-scale canvases and incisive late charcoals. Together\, they reveal an artist of deep formal command and emotional range\, one whose legacy lies not only in her art\, but in her transformative role as founder of the New York Studio School. As Christina Kee says at the end of her essay for the exhibition: “Her works are an offering of a hard-won painter’s space – a place for giving as she was given to.” \nThis exhibition marks Matter’s first major solo exhibition in New York since her traveling retrospective which opened at Miskin Gallery\, Baruch College (CUNY) that opened in 2009. In conjunction with the exhibition\, Berry Campbell will publish a fully illustrated 40-page exhibition catalogue featuring an essay by Christina Kee. \n  Save
