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:Tending and Dreaming: Stories from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:Tending and Dreaming: Stories from the Collection launches the first dedicated collection galleries at the Museum. Providing unprecedented access to core works in San José’s only publicly held art collection\, SJMA’s collection galleries position artists as storytellers to imagine the Museum as a space where culture and meaning are actively made and always in process.  \nOrganized into thematic groupings\, Tending and Dreaming offers poetic starting points for engaging with ideas woven through the works of almost fifty artists from the Bay Area and beyond\, including  Ruth Asawa\, Martha Atienza\, Shilpa Gupta\, Yolanda López\, and Elias Sime\, among many others.  \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: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:Stitching Time: Social Justice Collaboration Quilts Project and Give Me Life: CPA Prison Arts Program
DESCRIPTION:Stitching Time features 12 quilts created by men who are incarcerated in the Louisiana State Penitentiary\, also known as Angola Prison. These works of art\, and accompanying recorded interviews\, tell the story of a unique inside-outside quilt collaboration. The exhibition focuses our attention on the quilt creators\, people often forgotten by society when discussing the history of the U.S. criminal justice system. Also on view in the gallery will be Give Me Life\, a selection of works from women artists presently or formerly incarcerated at York Correctional Institution\, a maximum security state prison in Niantic\, CT\, courtesy of Community Partners in Action (CPA). The CPA’s Prison Arts program was initiated in 1978 and is one of the longest-running projects of its kind in the United States. Founded in 1875\, CPA is celebrating 150 years of working within the criminal justice system.

SUMMARY:“Tell Clyfford I Said ‘Hi’”: An Exhibition Curated by Children of the Colville Confederated Tribes
DESCRIPTION:“Tell Clyfford I Said ‘Hi’”: An Exhibition Curated by Children of the Colville Confederated Tribes is a collaborative exhibition co-curated with youth from the Colville Confederated Tribes in Washington State\, on view from September 19\, 2025–May 10\, 2026\, at the Clyfford Still Museum. It highlights the perspectives of Colville children on Clyfford Still’s depictions of their ancestors and their home\, as well as his abstract works. Installed in all nine of the Museum’s galleries\, this exhibition investigates six themes identified by our co-curators: Family & Culture\, Connection\, Storytelling\, Wilderness\, Love\, and Paint & Color. \nClyfford Still Museum’s curatorial and education staff worked with young children (ages three years to fourteen years old) and teachers from partner schools and childcare centers on the Colville Confederated Tribes Reservation on every level of the exhibition\, including artwork selection and arrangement\, object interpretation and gallery text\, and interactive space. \nThis exhibition continues CSM’s efforts to foster engagement with its collections by sharing authority on Still’s work with the Museum’s critical communities and is an occasion to bridge various gaps—physical\, cultural\, metaphorical—that exist between Indigenous communities and the traditional art museum space. \nBackground and Development \nWhile working as an instructor at the Washington State College Fine Arts Department\, Clyfford Still assisted in founding a summer art colony for WSC community members and became one of its first instructors in the summers of 1937 and 1938. Instructors held classes in Nespelem on the Colville Reservation and Toppenish on the Yakama Indian Reservation in Washington. The Clyfford Still Museum collections include three paintings on canvas\, over 85 drawings and sketches on paper\, nearly 20 documentary photographs\, and other archival ephemera documenting Still’s time in the area. These objects reveal how Still’s experiences with the Colville community profoundly impacted his work for years. \nWhile culturally distinct and diverse\, the twelve bands of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation—Chelan\, Chief Joseph Band of Nez Perce\, Colville\, Entiat\, Lakes\, Methow\, Moses-Columbia\, Nespelem\, Okanogan\, Palus\, San Poil\, and Wenatchi—share cultural practices and 1.4 million acres of land. Though CSM has focused past exhibitions and programs on Still’s work from Nespelem since 2013\, this exhibition seeks to extend and deepen CSM’s relationship with the Colville Tribal community. \nCo-curated with children in the Colville Confederated Tribes in northeastern Washington\, this exhibition explores Clyfford Still’s work through the perspectives of children\, some of whom are direct descendants of individuals Still portrayed in his art. “Tell Clyfford I Said ‘Hi’” centers young Indigenous voices by engaging them to collaboratively develop an exhibition that builds upon previous evaluation\, research\, and CSM exhibitions. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Lynne Drexler: A Painted Aria
DESCRIPTION:Berry Campbell is pleased to announce Lynne Drexler: A Painted Aria. On view from October 9 through November 15\, 2025\, the exhibition celebrates one of the most impassioned periods in Drexler’s career\, when her lifelong devotion to music became inseparable from her art.  During the mid-1970s\, Drexler visited the Metropolitan Opera as often as three times a week.  Enraptured by the soaring operas of Wagner and the power of Beethoven\, she transformed sound and drama into color\, rhythm\, and form that reverberate with music itself. This exhibition brings together canvases and works on paper from this pivotal period. \nA Painted Aria presents a lesser-known but deeply personal aspect of Drexler’s oeuvre. During this period\, she shifted from nature-inspired subjects to abstractions driven by her passion for opera. A six-month episode of color blindness at the end of 1969 further shaped her practice\, inspiring a turn toward tonal compositions that redefined the movement and structure of her paintings. She often sketched from a desk at The Metropolitan Opera as the music unfolded around her: “It was just the soaring\, the gloriousness of the music.” Her paintings from this period pulse with rhythm\, motion\, and color.  They convey the drama and intensity of the music and reflect what art historian Gail Levin describes as “musical analogies in painting\,” rooted in her earlier training with Hans Hofmann.  Her brushwork often suggests a synesthesia\, as color and form vibrate in response to sound\, aligning her with figures such as Wassily Kandinsky and Vincent Van Gogh\, both of whom she greatly admired. \nFor Drexler\, opera not only offered aesthetic inspiration but an emotional lifeline. The grandeur and drama of Wagner and Beethoven allowed her to transfer personal challenges into a triumphant artistic language.  As Levin writes in the catalogue\, Drexler’s canvases are “a testament to her strong will to express herself and move beyond the catastrophic events that nearly derailed her journey.” \nThis exhibition builds on Berry Campbell’s 2022 presentation in collaboration with Mnuchin Gallery\, Lynne Drexler: The First Decade\, which surveyed her work created between 1959 and 1969. Now\, Berry Campbell shifts focus to this transformative and underexplored chapter of her career. Featuring approximately twenty works from the 1970s\, including six large-scale canvases\, the exhibition offers a view into Drexler’s heightened sense of drama and how music served as both muse and emotional outlet for the artist. \nLynne Drexler: A Painted Aria will open with a reception Thursday\, October 9\, 2025\, 6 – 8 pm\, and will be accompanied by a catalogue with an essay by Gail Levin\, Ph.D. In conjunction with the exhibition\, Berry Campbell will be hosting The Metropolitan Opera for an evening of performances at our West 26th Street Gallery.

SUMMARY:Betsy Eby | Chromatic Frequencies
DESCRIPTION:Winston Wächter Fine Art is pleased to present Chromatic Frequencies\, a new body of encaustic paintings by Betsy Eby exploring the visualization of sound and harmonic connection. As both a painter and musician\, Eby brings a rare sensitivity to her practice\, drawing on her heightened perceptual gifts\, creating correspondences between color\, rhythms and sound. \nChromatic Frequencies emerges from Eby’s recent personal journey. Following major neurosurgery\, she turned to Solfeggio Frequencies\, soundscapes rooted in hertz frequencies known by researchers to have healing properties on the brain and body’s neural networks. An evolution of her lifelong practice of painting nature based abstractions\, this body of work explores themes on a quantum level at once read micro and macroscopically\, bringing together Eby’s love of music\, colorfield painting\, rhythmic line and materiality.  She builds resonant color fields representing harmonic systems then disrupts those systems with the embodiment of gestural line work. The lines bury\, recede and emerge\, hovering amidst luminous fields. One painting to the next explores analogous or contrasting color worlds\, decisions affecting their resulting moods. \nEby speaks of the Japanese process\, Kintsugi\, or “golden repair\,” a tradition in which broken vessels are mended with precious metals\, celebrating scars as markers of resilience. “The act of painting is a recognition of the beauty found through survival\, with each painting being a record of systems disrupted then renewed\,” Eby states.  Chromatic Frequencies reflects Eby’s belief in the healing power of sound translated into material form. \nBetsy Eby earned her BA in Art History at the University of Oregon in 1990 and has since exhibited her artworks widely\, showing across the United States and Europe. Her works are held in numerous public and private collections including the Tacoma Museum of Art and the Columbus Museum of Art. She and her husband\, painter Bo Bartlett\, split their time between studios in Columbus\, Georgia\, and Wheaton Island\, Maine. A native to Oregon\, Eby cites her early influences in the Northwest mystics\, Pacific Northwest modernism and atmospheric abstraction. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Paulette Tavormina | Portraits in Bloom
DESCRIPTION:Winston Wächter Fine Art\, New York is pleased to present Portraits in Bloom\, a new series of photographs by Paulette Tavormina. In her second solo exhibition with the gallery\, Tavormina takes inspiration from 17th-century Old Master still life paintings\, transforming their rich symbolism into contemporary photographic portraits of flowers. \nTavormina races against time to stage and curate each portrait in her studio after hand picking various fresh florals. Thus\, rather than presenting flowers in traditional vases\, she captures peonies\, lilacs\, dahlias\, roses\, tulips\, foxglove\, and more\, in various stages of life\, from tightly furled buds to petals in decline. Butterflies and insects often appear within her compositions\, reinforcing the interconnectedness of the natural world while echoing the allegorical depth of Old Master paintings. \nFor Tavormina\, flowers are not only symbolic but deeply personal. Her lifelong love of flora stems from childhood days spent in her grandparents’ garden on Long Island\, where her grandfather’s plum\, fig trees\, and plate sized dahlias alongside her grandmother’s award-winning roses\, left a lasting impression. Today\, Tavormina continues that tradition\, cultivating many of the flowers featured in her photographs from her own Connecticut garden. In Portraits in Bloom\, Tavormina elevates these homegrown specimens into elegant\, timeless compositions. Each work is both a meditation on beauty’s transience and a tribute to the enduring\, intimate bond between memory\, family\, and the natural world. \nPaulette Tavormina lives and works in New York City and Connecticut. Her photographs are held in museum\, corporate and private collections and have been exhibited in Paris\, London\, Moscow\, Lugano\, Madrid\, New York\, Los Angeles\, Miami\, Palm Beach\, Boston\, Palm Desert and San Francisco. Tavormina also has a successful career as a commercial photographer\, photographing Gucci’s Alchemist’s Garden Perfume campaign. She has photographed works of art for Sotheby’s\, fragrances for GOOP\, and recipes for The Del Posto Cookbook (Hachette) with chef\, Mark Ladner. She has been commissioned by National Geographic Magazine and The New York Times\, among others. Previously\, Tavormina was a prop and food stylist in Hollywood\, her work seen on the silver screen in seven films such as Nixon\, The Astronaut’s Wife and The Perfect Storm. Most recently\, she was invited to show her works at the Château des Joncherets showcase in Saint Lubin des Joncherets\, France\, which opens to the public in January 2026. \n  Save
