Killer Heels explores fashion’s most provocative accessory. From the high platform chopines of 9/10/201
sixteenth-century Italy to the glamorous stilettos on today’s runways and red carpets, the exhibition 4
looks at the high-heeled shoe’s rich and varied history and its enduring place in our popular
imagination.
9/17/14
For over thirty years, the weekly New York Times Magazine has shaped the possibilities of magazine 9/17/14
photography through its commissioning and publishing of photographers’ work across the spectrum
of the medium—from photojournalism to fashion photography and portraiture. In this exhibition,
focusing primarily on the past fifteen years, long-time New York Times Magazine photo editor Kathy
Ryan provides a behind-the-scenes look at the collaborative, creative processes that have made this
magazine the leading venue for photographic storytelling within contemporary news media.
This group exhibition disabuses the idea that drawing is simply putting pen to paper, framing it 9/19/201
instead as an open-ended act in which lines can be woven, stitched, knit, even embodied. Featuring 4
sixteen contemporary artists who use textile in a variety of formats (embroidery, weaving, collage,
and performance), the exhibition highlights the expressive and conceptual possibilities of line, with
an emphasis on its making. The works selected invoke many characteristics long associated with the
drawn medium; however, the application of textile brings forth a new hybridity in which the objects
created, using the techniques and materials drawn from craft, result in lines detached from the
picture plane, lines read on an unprecedentedly large scale, and lines that extend into real space—a
collective, social space. For some artists, the line functions as a direct extension of the body—a
performative act or participatory event. Others work in abstraction; still others use the line as a
means of addressing gender, personal narrative, and politics. While this exhibition is necessarily
limited in scope, it reflects a widespread tendency that has developed over decades and continues to
propel the drawn medium forward.
The Drawing Center’s exhibition will focus on Schawinsky’s work on paper from the 1940s, 9/19/201
particularly the Head Series and Faces of War. These works, including several “War Heads” and 4
“Theme and Variation on a Face: Walter Gropius,” break from the utopian optimism of the early
Bauhaus and its later iterations in the United States. Schawinsky’s 1940s series reveal the existential
struggle of an artist informed by Bauhaus idealism coping with the devastation of war. His "faces of
war" are man/machine hybrids, at once disturbingly robotic and representative of the threat of
human self-destruction. These images have been interpreted as depicting either an aggressive
enemy or a powerful avenger; perhaps, they bespeak an identity that encompasses both.
Genesis is the third long-term series on global issues by world-renowned photographer Sebastião 9/19/201
Salgado (born Brazil, 1944), following Workers(1993) and Migrations (2000). The result of an eight- 4
year worldwide survey, the exhibition draws together more than 200 spectacular black-and-white
photographs of wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, and indigenous peoples—raising public awareness
about the pressing issues of environment and climate change. ICP is proud to be the first American
venue of this momentous exhibition, which is curated by Lélia Wanick Salgado.
Anonymous is an exploration of changing attitudes towards self-expression, attribution, and identity 9/20/201
in contemporary Tibetan art. Traditional Tibetan culture placed little emphasis on individuality or 4
 artistic self-expression. Art adhered to a formal system of production to support the transmission of
Tibetan religious culture and was, by and large, unattributed” artists remained anonymous.
However, in the global contemporary market, the creativity of the individual has become the primary
basis by which we produce, interpret and consume art. Innovation and novelty are often valued
more highly than technique and tradition. Attribution ”the artists name” has become a fundamental
aspect of the work. Within the new social reality as part of the Peoples Republic of China, art is
becoming a vital medium of self-expression for Tibetans. Artists are increasingly focused on the
experience of the individual and a cautious 21st-century visual language steeped in irony, metaphor
and allusion has fully emerged.
Met Assyria to Iberia at the This landmark exhibition will trace—through some 260 works of art on loan from major collections 9/22/201
Dawn of the Classical Age in Western Europe, the Caucasus, the Middle East, North Africa, and the United States—the deep 4
roots of interaction between the ancient Near East and the lands along the shores of the
Mediterranean and their impact on the artistic traditions that developed in the region. Parallels will
also be drawn between works in the exhibition and those in the Metropolitan Museum's permanent
collection of ancient Near Eastern art.
Museum of Art and What Would Mrs. Webb The Museum of Arts and Design celebrates the enduring legacy of its founder Aileen Osborn Webb 9/23/14
Design Do? with What Would Mrs. Webb Do? A Founder’s Vision, an exhibition highlighting Webb's advocacy and
dedication to skilled makers across America, and featuring objects drawn largely from the Museum's
permanent collection.

America Today Mural Equitable Life Insurance Company to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in December 2012. Benton 4
Rediscovered (1889–1975) painted this mural for New York's New School for Social Research to adorn the school's
boardroom in its International Style modernist building on West 12th Street. Showing a sweeping
panorama of American life throughout the 1920s, America Today ranks among Benton's most
renowned works and is one of the most remarkable accomplishments in American art of the period.
Museum of Art and Maryland to Murano In Joyce J. Scott’s hands, human adornment becomes a vehicle for social commentary and a means 9/30/14
Design for confronting contentious issues affecting contemporary society. On view in fall 2014, Maryland to
Murano: Neckpieces and Sculptures by Joyce J. Scott will feature the personal and political narratives
embedded in Scott’s work, which tackles such complex themes as poverty, rape, love, sex, racial
stereotypes and social disturbances, as well as tales from American and African history.
Asia Society Nam June Paik: Becoming Nam June Paik (1932–2006) was a visionary artist, thinker, and innovator. Considered the “father of 9/5/14
Robot video art,” his groundbreaking use of video technology blurred past distinctions between science,
fine art, and popular culture. He created a new visual language using mediums previously associated
with mass entertainment and scientific discovery. Nam June Paik: Becoming Robot illustrates modern
society’s relationship with technology through one artist’s perspective, and creates a space for
visitors to explore the central role technology will continue to play in art and culture for future
generations.

Sculpture Center Puddle, pothole, portal With play and curiosity, we can test boundaries and decipher our space. Bumping into objects, 10/2/14
pushing them over, hopping over figments, falling down, we are clumsy and mischievous, like
children in a world of new technologies. Incorporating a sense of wonder and humor, concepts
surrounding animation and cartooning are expanded into an exhibition that enacts a similar sort of
hysteria around flatness and depth in relation to technologies, real and illusory spaces—physical,
virtual, internal, and external.

eighty paintings, collages, drawings, and sculpture by the four preeminent Cubist artists: Georges
Braque (French, 1882–1963), Juan Gris (Spanish, 1887–1927), Fernand Léger (French, 1881–1955),
and Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973).

Process, Painting as Life private collections across Asia, Europe, and the United States, this is the first retrospective exhibition
dedicated to the work of celebrated Indian modern painter Vasudeo Santu Gaitonde (1924–2001).
Brooklyn Museum Judith Scott -- Bound and Judith Scott’s work is celebrated for its astonishing visual complexity. In a career spanning just 10/24/14
Unbound seventeen years, Scott developed a unique and idiosyncratic method to produce a body of work of
remarkable originality. Often working for weeks or months on individual pieces, she used yarn,
thread, fabric, and other fibers to envelop found objects into fastidiously woven, wrapped, and
bundled structures.
New Museum Chris Ofili: Night and Day In October 2014, the New Museum will present the first major solo museum exhibition in the United 10/29/14
States of the work of artist Chris Ofili. Occupying the Museum’s three main galleries, “Chris Ofili:
Night and Day” will span the artist’s influential career, encompassing his work in painting, drawing,
and sculpture. Over the past two decades, Ofili has become identified with vibrant, meticulously
executed, elaborate artworks that meld figuration, abstraction, and decoration. In his extremely
diverse oeuvre, Ofili has taken imagery and inspiration from such disparate, century-spanning
sources as the Bible, hip-hop music, Zimbabwean cave paintings, blaxploitation films, and William
Blake’s poems. As the title of the exhibition suggests, Ofili’s practice has undergone constant
changes, moving from boldly expressive to deeply introspective across an experimental and
prodigious body of work. The exhibition will feature over thirty of Ofili’s major paintings, a vast
quantity of drawings, and a selection of sculptures from over the course of his twenty-year career.

for the first commission of The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative at the
Guggenheim Museum. Wang Jianwei was born 1958 in Suining, Sichuan Province, Southwest China,
and is widely recognized for his bold experiments in new media art.
Jewish Museum Helena Rubinstein: Beauty This is the first museum exhibition to focus on the cosmetics entrepreneur Helena Rubinstein (1872 10/31/14
is Power – 1965). Rubinstein – as businesswoman and arts patron – helped break down the status quo of taste
by blurring the boundaries between commerce, art, fashion, beauty, and design. Her innovative
business and style challenged conservative taste and helped usher in a modern notion of beauty,
democratized and accessible to all. Beauty Is Powerwill reunite much of Rubinstein’s famed
collection, including modern artworks by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Elie Nadelman, and Joan
Miró, among others, as well as her iconic collection of African art, miniature period rooms, jewelry,
and fashion.
MoMA Robert Gober: The Heart Is The Heart Is Not a Metaphor is the first large-scale survey of Robert Gober’s career to take place in 10/4/14
Not a Metaphor the United States. Gober (American, b. 1954) rose to prominence in the mid-1980s and was quickly
acknowledged as one of the most significant artists of his generation. Early in his career he made
deceptively simple sculptures of everyday objects—beginning with sinks before moving on to
domestic furniture such as playpens, beds, and doors. In the 1990s, his practice evolved from single
works to theatrical room-sized environments. Featuring loans from institutions and private
collections in North America and Europe, along with selections from the artist’s collection, the
exhibition includes around 130 works across several mediums, including individual sculptures and
immersive sculptural environments and a distinctive body of drawings, prints, and photographs. The
loosely chronological presentation traces the development of this remarkable body of work,
highlighting themes and motifs that emerged in the early 1980s and continue to inform Gober’s work
today.
Museum of Art and New Territories New Territories explores the collaborations between small manufacturing operations and 10/4/14
Design craftspersons, artists, and designers, and demonstrates how the resulting work addresses not only
the issues of commodification and production, but also of urbanization, displacement and
sustainability. The exhibition will explore a number of key themes, including: the dialogue between
contemporary trends and artistic legacies in Latin American art; the use of repurposed materials in
strategies of upcyling; the blending of digital and traditional skills; and the reclamation of personal
and public space.
Park Avenue Armory St Matthew Passion Regarded as one of the quintessential masterpieces of classical sacred music, Bach’s revered account 10/7/201-

Coecke van Aelst and master, Pieter Coecke van Aelst (1502–1550). As the impressive body of his surviving drawings
Renaissance Tapestry makes clear, Coecke was a master designer, devising projects across media, from tapestry series, to
panel paintings, prints, stained glass, and goldsmith's work. The exhibition will unite nineteen of the
grand tapestries he designed, woven in the great workshops of Brussels for collectors from Emperor
Charles V, France's François Ier, and Henry VIII of England, to Cosimo de Medici, juxtaposed with a
selection of his panel paintings, including a monumental triptych, and more than thirty drawings and
prints. Coecke was also the translator and editor of influential Italian architectural treatises that will
be included in the exhibition. In the midst of this productivity, Coecke also traveled extensively, and

This exhibition will be the first museum show ever devoted to Sari Dienes. In the early 1950s, Dienes 10/8/14
used experimental processes to produce works on paper, impressing onto her pictorial support the
gritty and vibrant terrain of New York City’s streets, the silhouettes of construction tools, and the
textures of rural landscapes. Armed with an ink roller in lieu of a traditional pen or pencil, Dienes
placed drawing at the center of her practice while simultaneously challenging its tenets; she traced
the contours of her chosen subjects directly, rather than rendering them by hand from a distance, as
would a conventional draughtsman. This radically shifted the emphasis of her drawings from a visual
translation of the object to an immediate encounter with the found surface. The fourteen works
included in this exhibition were produced between 1953 and 1955, the most intensive period of the
artist’s process-based experimentation. These drawings had a profound formal, technical, and
iconographic impact on a young generation of artists, including Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper
Johns. While widely exhibited and well–received at the time of their creation, they—as well as
Dienes herself—have been largely forgotten today. This exhibition will highlight her practice and
shed new light on her legacy.

Guggenheim Zero: Countdown to The exhibition is the first large-scale historical survey in the United States dedicated to the German x
Tomorrow, 1950s - 60s artists' group Zero (1957–66) and ZERO, an international network of artists that shared the group’s
aspiration to redefine and transform art in the aftermath of World War II. Featuring more than 40
artists from 10 countries, the exhibition will highlight the points of intersection, exchange, and
collaboration that defined these artists’ shared history.
MoMA Henri Matisse: The Cut- Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs is a groundbreaking reassessment of this important body of work. The x
Outs largest and most extensive presentation of the cut-outs ever mounted, the exhibition includes
approximately 100 cut-outs—borrowed from public and private collections around the globe—

last time New York audiences were treated to an in-depth look at the cut-outs was in 1961.
Jewish Museum Dani Gal: As from Afar This exhibition marks the United States premiere ofAs from Afar, a short film by Israeli-born artist x
Dani Gal. Based on the late-1970s correspondences of Albert Speer, Hitler’s chief architect and
confidant, and Simon Wiesenthal, a Holocaust survivor, ardent Nazi hunter, and a fellow architect,
the film reconstructs the historical narrative of this charged relationship through documentary
materials and cinematic imagery.

Sculpture Center Puddle, pothole, portal With play and curiosity, we can test boundaries and decipher our space. Bumping into objects, x
pushing them over, hopping over figments, falling down, we are clumsy and mischievous, like
children in a world of new technologies. Incorporating a sense of wonder and humor, concepts
surrounding animation and cartooning are expanded into an exhibition that enacts a similar sort of
hysteria around flatness and depth in relation to technologies, real and illusory spaces—physical,
virtual, internal, and external.
Met Cubism: The Leonard A. Cubism, the most influential art movement of the early twentieth century, still resonates today. It x
Lauder Collection destroyed traditional illusionism in painting and radically changed the way we see the world. The
Leonard A. Lauder Collection, unsurpassed in its holdings of Cubist art, is now a promised gift to the
Museum. On the occasion of this exhibition, the Collection will be shown in public for the first time—
eighty paintings, collages, drawings, and sculpture by the four preeminent Cubist artists: Georges
Braque (French, 1882–1963), Juan Gris (Spanish, 1887–1927), Fernand Léger (French, 1881–1955),
and Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973).
Met Death Becomes Her: A The thematic exhibition will be organized chronologically and feature mourning dress from 1815 to x
Century of Mourning 1915, primarily from The Costume Institute's collection, including mourning gowns worn by Queen
 Attire Victoria and Queen Alexandra. The calendar of bereavement's evolution and cultural implications
will be illuminated through women's clothing and accessories, showing the progression of
appropriate fabrics from mourning crape to corded silks, and the later introduction of color with
shades of gray and mauve.
MoMA Uneven Growth: Tactical Uneven Growth seeks to challenge current assumptions about the relationships between formal and x
Urbanisms for Expanding informal, bottom-up and top-down urban development, and to address potential changes in the roles
Megacities architects and urban designers might assume vis-à-vis the increasing inequality of current urban
development. The resulting proposals, which will be presented at MoMA in November 2014, will
consider how emergent forms of tactical urbanism can respond to alterations in the nature of public
space, housing, mobility, spatial justice, environmental conditions, and other major issues in near-
future urban contexts.
Guggenheim V.S. Gaitonde: Painting as Comprising 45 major paintings and works on paper drawn from 30 leading public institutions and x
Process, Painting as Life private collections across Asia, Europe, and the United States, this is the first retrospective exhibition
dedicated to the work of celebrated Indian modern painter Vasudeo Santu Gaitonde (1924–2001).
Brooklyn Museum Judith Scott -- Bound and Judith Scott’s work is celebrated for its astonishing visual complexity. In a career spanning just x
Unbound seventeen years, Scott developed a unique and idiosyncratic method to produce a body of work of
remarkable originality. Often working for weeks or months on individual pieces, she used yarn,
thread, fabric, and other fibers to envelop found objects into fastidiously woven, wrapped, and
bundled structures.
New Museum Chris Ofili: Night and Day In October 2014, the New Museum will present the first major solo museum exhibition in the United x
States of the work of artist Chris Ofili. Occupying the Museum’s three main galleries, “Chris Ofili:
Night and Day” will span the artist’s influential career, encompassing his work in painting, drawing,
and sculpture. Over the past two decades, Ofili has become identified with vibrant, meticulously
executed, elaborate artworks that meld figuration, abstraction, and decoration. In his extremely
diverse oeuvre, Ofili has taken imagery and inspiration from such disparate, century-spanning
sources as the Bible, hip-hop music, Zimbabwean cave paintings, blaxploitation films, and William
Blake’s poems. As the title of the exhibition suggests, Ofili’s practice has undergone constant
changes, moving from boldly expressive to deeply introspective across an experimental and
prodigious body of work. The exhibition will feature over thirty of Ofili’s major paintings, a vast
quantity of drawings, and a selection of sculptures from over the course of his twenty-year career.
Brooklyn Museum Crossing Brooklyn: Art Reflecting the rich creative diversity of Brooklyn, Crossing Brooklyn presents work by thirty-five x
from Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn-based artists or collectives. The exhibition and related programming take place in the
and Beyond galleries and on the grounds of the Museum, as well as off-site in the streets, waterways, and other
public spaces of the borough.
Guggenheim Wang Jianwei: Time Wang Jianwei: Time Temple comprises an intricately designed exhibition space, a film, and a x
Temple performance art event, exploring the role of time-based art practices in contemporary Chinese art
for the first commission of The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative at the
Guggenheim Museum. Wang Jianwei was born 1958 in Suining, Sichuan Province, Southwest China,
and is widely recognized for his bold experiments in new media art.
Jewish Museum Helena Rubinstein: Beauty This is the first museum exhibition to focus on the cosmetics entrepreneur Helena Rubinstein (1872 x
is Power – 1965). Rubinstein – as businesswoman and arts patron – helped break down the status quo of
taste by blurring the boundaries between commerce, art, fashion, beauty, and design. Her innovative
business and style challenged conservative taste and helped usher in a modern notion of beauty,
democratized and accessible to all. Beauty Is Powerwill reunite much of Rubinstein’s famed
collection, including modern artworks by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Elie Nadelman, and Joan
Miró, among others, as well as her iconic collection of African art, miniature period rooms, jewelry,
and fashion.
MoMA Robert Gober: The Heart Is The Heart Is Not a Metaphor is the first large-scale survey of Robert Gober’s career to take place in x
Not a Metaphor the United States. Gober (American, b. 1954) rose to prominence in the mid-1980s and was quickly

deceptively simple sculptures of everyday objects—beginning with sinks before moving on to
domestic furniture such as playpens, beds, and doors. In the 1990s, his practice evolved from single
works to theatrical room-sized environments. Featuring loans from institutions and private
collections in North America and Europe, along with selections from the artist’s collection, the
exhibition includes around 130 works across several mediums, including individual sculptures and
immersive sculptural environments and a distinctive body of drawings, prints, and photographs. The
loosely chronological presentation traces the development of this remarkable body of work,
highlighting themes and motifs that emerged in the early 1980s and continue to inform Gober’s
work today.
New Territories explores the collaborations between small manufacturing operations and x
craftspersons, artists, and designers, and demonstrates how the resulting work addresses not only
the issues of commodification and production, but also of urbanization, displacement and
sustainability. The exhibition will explore a number of key themes, including: the dialogue between
contemporary trends and artistic legacies in Latin American art; the use of repurposed materials in
strategies of upcyling; the blending of digital and traditional skills; and the reclamation of personal
and public space.
This international loan exhibition will explore the achievements of the great northern Renaissance x
master, Pieter Coecke van Aelst (1502–1550). As the impressive body of his surviving drawings
makes clear, Coecke was a master designer, devising projects across media, from tapestry series, to
panel paintings, prints, stained glass, and goldsmith's work. The exhibition will unite nineteen of the
grand tapestries he designed, woven in the great workshops of Brussels for collectors from Emperor
Charles V, France's François Ier, and Henry VIII of England, to Cosimo de Medici, juxtaposed with a
selection of his panel paintings, including a monumental triptych, and more than thirty drawings and
prints. Coecke was also the translator and editor of influential Italian architectural treatises that will
be included in the exhibition. In the midst of this productivity, Coecke also traveled extensively, and
among the exhibits will be the fascinating woodcut frieze he designed, over fourteen feet in length,
recording his experiences in Constantinople.
Killer Heels explores fashion’s most provocative accessory. From the high platform chopines of x
sixteenth-century Italy to the glamorous stilettos on today’s runways and red carpets, the exhibition
looks at the high-heeled shoe’s rich and varied history and its enduring place in our popular
imagination.
This group exhibition disabuses the idea that drawing is simply putting pen to paper, framing it x
instead as an open-ended act in which lines can be woven, stitched, knit, even embodied. Featuring
sixteen contemporary artists who use textile in a variety of formats (embroidery, weaving, collage,
and performance), the exhibition highlights the expressive and conceptual possibilities of line, with
an emphasis on its making. The works selected invoke many characteristics long associated with the
drawn medium; however, the application of textile brings forth a new hybridity in which the objects
created, using the techniques and materials drawn from craft, result in lines detached from the
picture plane, lines read on an unprecedentedly large scale, and lines that extend into real space—a
collective, social space. For some artists, the line functions as a direct extension of the body—a
performative act or participatory event. Others work in abstraction; still others use the line as a
means of addressing gender, personal narrative, and politics. While this exhibition is necessarily
limited in scope, it reflects a widespread tendency that has developed over decades and continues to
propel the drawn medium forward.
The Drawing Center’s exhibition will focus on Schawinsky’s work on paper from the 1940s, x
particularly the Head Series and Faces of War. These works, including several “War Heads” and
“Theme and Variation on a Face: Walter Gropius,” break from the utopian optimism of the early
Bauhaus and its later iterations in the United States. Schawinsky’s 1940s series reveal the existential
struggle of an artist informed by Bauhaus idealism coping with the devastation of war. His "faces of
war" are man/machine hybrids, at once disturbingly robotic and representative of the threat of
 human self-destruction. These images have been interpreted as depicting either an aggressive
enemy or a powerful avenger; perhaps, they bespeak an identity that encompasses both.
ICP Sebastiao Salgado: Genesis Genesis is the third long-term series on global issues by world-renowned photographer Sebastião x
Salgado (born Brazil, 1944), following Workers(1993) and Migrations (2000). The result of an eight-
year worldwide survey, the exhibition draws together more than 200 spectacular black-and-white
photographs of wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, and indigenous peoples—raising public awareness
about the pressing issues of environment and climate change. ICP is proud to be the first American
venue of this momentous exhibition, which is curated by Lélia Wanick Salgado.
Queens Museum Anonymous Anonymous is an exploration of changing attitudes towards self-expression, attribution, and identity x
Contemporary Tibetan Art in contemporary Tibetan art. Traditional Tibetan culture placed little emphasis on individuality or
artistic self-expression. Art adhered to a formal system of production to support the transmission of
Tibetan religious culture and was, by and large, unattributed” artists remained anonymous.
However, in the global contemporary market, the creativity of the individual has become the
primary basis by which we produce, interpret and consume art. Innovation and novelty are often
valued more highly than technique and tradition. Attribution ”the artists name” has become a
fundamental aspect of the work. Within the new social reality as part of the Peoples Republic of
China, art is becoming a vital medium of self-expression for Tibetans. Artists are increasingly
focused on the experience of the individual and a cautious 21st-century visual language steeped in
irony, metaphor and allusion has fully emerged.
Met Assyria to Iberia at the This landmark exhibition will trace—through some 260 works of art on loan from major collections x
Dawn of the Classical Age in Western Europe, the Caucasus, the Middle East, North Africa, and the United States—the deep
roots of interaction between the ancient Near East and the lands along the shores of the
Mediterranean and their impact on the artistic traditions that developed in the region. Parallels will
also be drawn between works in the exhibition and those in the Metropolitan Museum's permanent
collection of ancient Near Eastern art.
Museum of Art and What Would Mrs. Webb The Museum of Arts and Design celebrates the enduring legacy of its founder Aileen Osborn Webb x
Design Do? with What Would Mrs. Webb Do? A Founder’s Vision, an exhibition highlighting Webb's advocacy and
dedication to skilled makers across America, and featuring objects drawn largely from the Museum's
permanent collection.
Met Thomas Hart Benton's This exhibition celebrates the gift of Thomas Hart Benton's epic mural America Today from AXA x
America Today Mural Equitable Life Insurance Company to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in December 2012. Benton
Rediscovered (1889–1975) painted this mural for New York's New School for Social Research to adorn the
school's boardroom in its International Style modernist building on West 12th Street. Showing a
sweeping panorama of American life throughout the 1920s, America Today ranks among Benton's
most renowned works and is one of the most remarkable accomplishments in American art of the
period.
Museum of Art and Maryland to Murano In Joyce J. Scott’s hands, human adornment becomes a vehicle for social commentary and a means x

embedded in Scott’s work, which tackles such complex themes as poverty, rape, love, sex, racial
stereotypes and social disturbances, as well as tales from American and African history.
Asia Society Nam June Paik: Becoming Nam June Paik (1932–2006) was a visionary artist, thinker, and innovator. Considered the “father of x
Robot video art,” his groundbreaking use of video technology blurred past distinctions between science,
fine art, and popular culture. He created a new visual language using mediums previously associated
with mass entertainment and scientific discovery. Nam June Paik: Becoming Robot illustrates modern
society’s relationship with technology through one artist’s perspective, and creates a space for
visitors to explore the central role technology will continue to play in art and culture for future
generations.

the third iteration of the Museum’s Masterpieces & Curiosities exhibition series – tells multiple
stories.
Met In Miniature This exhibition will comprise two groups of portrait miniatures: British, from the sixteenth and early x
seventeenth centuries, and French, from the revolutionary period to the Empire. Also included are
several eighteenth-century French gold boxes decorated with narratives or scenes in grisaille. All are
from the Museum's permanent collection and, because of their sensitivity to light, are infrequently
exhibited. Six larger paintings will be exhibited in order to consider what they may share with the
miniatures and to show how they differ.

Aperture Gallery The New York Times For over thirty years, the weekly New York Times Magazine has shaped the possibilities of magazine 11/1/14
Magazine Photographs photography through its commissioning and publishing of photographers’ work across the spectrum
of the medium—from photojournalism to fashion photography and portraiture. In this exhibition,
focusing primarily on the past fifteen years, long-time New York Times Magazine photo editor Kathy
Ryan provides a behind-the-scenes look at the collaborative, creative processes that have made this
magazine the leading venue for photographic storytelling within contemporary news media.
Drawing Center Sari Dienes This exhibition will be the first museum show ever devoted to Sari Dienes. In the early 1950s, Dienes 11/16/14
used experimental processes to produce works on paper, impressing onto her pictorial support the
gritty and vibrant terrain of New York City’s streets, the silhouettes of construction tools, and the
textures of rural landscapes. Armed with an ink roller in lieu of a traditional pen or pencil, Dienes
placed drawing at the center of her practice while simultaneously challenging its tenets; she traced
the contours of her chosen subjects directly, rather than rendering them by hand from a distance, as
would a conventional draughtsman. This radically shifted the emphasis of her drawings from a
visual translation of the object to an immediate encounter with the found surface. The fourteen
works included in this exhibition were produced between 1953 and 1955, the most intensive period
of the artist’s process-based experimentation. These drawings had a profound formal, technical, and
iconographic impact on a young generation of artists, including Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper
Johns. While widely exhibited and well–received at the time of their creation, they—as well as
Dienes herself—have been largely forgotten today. This exhibition will highlight her practice and
shed new light on her legacy.

MoMA The Forever Now: Forever Now presents the work of 17 artists whose paintings reflect a singular approach that 12/14/14
Contemporary Painting in characterizes our cultural moment at the beginning of this new millennium: they refuse to allow us
an Atemporal World to define or even meter our time by them. This phenomenon in culture was first identified by the
science fiction writer William Gibson, who used the term “a-temporality” to describe a cultural
product of our moment that paradoxically doesn’t represent, through style, through content, or
through medium, the time from which it comes. A-temporality, or timelessness, manifests itself in
painting as an ahistorical free-for-all, where contemporaneity as an indicator of new form is
nowhere to be found, and all eras coexist. This profligate mixing of past styles and genres can be
identified as a kind of hallmark for our moment in painting, with artists achieving it by reanimating
historical styles or recreating a contemporary version of them, sampling motifs from across the
timeline of 20th-century art in a single painting or across an oeuvre, or radically paring their
language down to the most archetypal forms.

taste by blurring the boundaries between commerce, art, fashion, beauty, and design. Her innovative
business and style challenged conservative taste and helped usher in a modern notion of beauty,
democratized and accessible to all. Beauty Is Powerwill reunite much of Rubinstein’s famed
collection, including modern artworks by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Elie Nadelman, and Joan
Miró, among others, as well as her iconic collection of African art, miniature period rooms, jewelry,
and fashion.
The Heart Is Not a Metaphor is the first large-scale survey of Robert Gober’s career to take place in x
the United States. Gober (American, b. 1954) rose to prominence in the mid-1980s and was quickly
acknowledged as one of the most significant artists of his generation. Early in his career he made
deceptively simple sculptures of everyday objects—beginning with sinks before moving on to
domestic furniture such as playpens, beds, and doors. In the 1990s, his practice evolved from single
works to theatrical room-sized environments. Featuring loans from institutions and private
collections in North America and Europe, along with selections from the artist’s collection, the
exhibition includes around 130 works across several mediums, including individual sculptures and
immersive sculptural environments and a distinctive body of drawings, prints, and photographs. The
loosely chronological presentation traces the development of this remarkable body of work,
highlighting themes and motifs that emerged in the early 1980s and continue to inform Gober’s
work today.
New Territories explores the collaborations between small manufacturing operations and x
craftspersons, artists, and designers, and demonstrates how the resulting work addresses not only
the issues of commodification and production, but also of urbanization, displacement and
sustainability. The exhibition will explore a number of key themes, including: the dialogue between
contemporary trends and artistic legacies in Latin American art; the use of repurposed materials in
strategies of upcyling; the blending of digital and traditional skills; and the reclamation of personal
and public space.
This international loan exhibition will explore the achievements of the great northern Renaissance x
master, Pieter Coecke van Aelst (1502–1550). As the impressive body of his surviving drawings
makes clear, Coecke was a master designer, devising projects across media, from tapestry series, to
panel paintings, prints, stained glass, and goldsmith's work. The exhibition will unite nineteen of the
grand tapestries he designed, woven in the great workshops of Brussels for collectors from Emperor
Charles V, France's François Ier, and Henry VIII of England, to Cosimo de Medici, juxtaposed with a
selection of his panel paintings, including a monumental triptych, and more than thirty drawings and
prints. Coecke was also the translator and editor of influential Italian architectural treatises that will
be included in the exhibition. In the midst of this productivity, Coecke also traveled extensively, and
among the exhibits will be the fascinating woodcut frieze he designed, over fourteen feet in length,
recording his experiences in Constantinople.
Killer Heels explores fashion’s most provocative accessory. From the high platform chopines of x
sixteenth-century Italy to the glamorous stilettos on today’s runways and red carpets, the exhibition
looks at the high-heeled shoe’s rich and varied history and its enduring place in our popular
imagination.
Genesis is the third long-term series on global issues by world-renowned photographer Sebastião x
Salgado (born Brazil, 1944), following Workers(1993) and Migrations (2000). The result of an eight-
year worldwide survey, the exhibition draws together more than 200 spectacular black-and-white
photographs of wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, and indigenous peoples—raising public awareness
about the pressing issues of environment and climate change. ICP is proud to be the first American
venue of this momentous exhibition, which is curated by Lélia Wanick Salgado.
Anonymous is an exploration of changing attitudes towards self-expression, attribution, and identity x
in contemporary Tibetan art. Traditional Tibetan culture placed little emphasis on individuality or
artistic self-expression. Art adhered to a formal system of production to support the transmission of
Tibetan religious culture and was, by and large, unattributed” artists remained anonymous.
 However, in the global contemporary market, the creativity of the individual has become the
primary basis by which we produce, interpret and consume art. Innovation and novelty are often
valued more highly than technique and tradition. Attribution ”the artists name” has become a
fundamental aspect of the work. Within the new social reality as part of the Peoples Republic of
China, art is becoming a vital medium of self-expression for Tibetans. Artists are increasingly
focused on the experience of the individual and a cautious 21st-century visual language steeped in
irony, metaphor and allusion has fully emerged.
Met Assyria to Iberia at the This landmark exhibition will trace—through some 260 works of art on loan from major collections x
Dawn of the Classical Age in Western Europe, the Caucasus, the Middle East, North Africa, and the United States—the deep
roots of interaction between the ancient Near East and the lands along the shores of the
Mediterranean and their impact on the artistic traditions that developed in the region. Parallels will
also be drawn between works in the exhibition and those in the Metropolitan Museum's permanent
collection of ancient Near Eastern art.
Museum of Art and What Would Mrs. Webb The Museum of Arts and Design celebrates the enduring legacy of its founder Aileen Osborn Webb x
Design Do? with What Would Mrs. Webb Do? A Founder’s Vision, an exhibition highlighting Webb's advocacy and

permanent collection.
Met Thomas Hart Benton's This exhibition celebrates the gift of Thomas Hart Benton's epic mural America Today from AXA x
America Today Mural Equitable Life Insurance Company to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in December 2012. Benton
Rediscovered (1889–1975) painted this mural for New York's New School for Social Research to adorn the
school's boardroom in its International Style modernist building on West 12th Street. Showing a
sweeping panorama of American life throughout the 1920s, America Today ranks among Benton's
most renowned works and is one of the most remarkable accomplishments in American art of the
period.
Museum of Art and Maryland to Murano In Joyce J. Scott’s hands, human adornment becomes a vehicle for social commentary and a means x
Design for confronting contentious issues affecting contemporary society. On view in fall 2014, Maryland to
Murano: Neckpieces and Sculptures by Joyce J. Scott will feature the personal and political narratives
embedded in Scott’s work, which tackles such complex themes as poverty, rape, love, sex, racial
stereotypes and social disturbances, as well as tales from American and African history.
Asia Society Nam June Paik: Becoming Nam June Paik (1932–2006) was a visionary artist, thinker, and innovator. Considered the “father of x

Drawing Center Open Sessions 2 Open Sessions continues with artist-directed group exhibitions and public programs. 12/14/14
Drawing Center Thread Lines This group exhibition disabuses the idea that drawing is simply putting pen to paper, framing it 12/14/14
instead as an open-ended act in which lines can be woven, stitched, knit, even embodied. Featuring
sixteen contemporary artists who use textile in a variety of formats (embroidery, weaving, collage,
and performance), the exhibition highlights the expressive and conceptual possibilities of line, with
an emphasis on its making. The works selected invoke many characteristics long associated with the
drawn medium; however, the application of textile brings forth a new hybridity in which the objects
created, using the techniques and materials drawn from craft, result in lines detached from the
picture plane, lines read on an unprecedentedly large scale, and lines that extend into real space—a
collective, social space. For some artists, the line functions as a direct extension of the body—a
performative act or participatory event. Others work in abstraction; still others use the line as a
means of addressing gender, personal narrative, and politics. While this exhibition is necessarily
limited in scope, it reflects a widespread tendency that has developed over decades and continues to
propel the drawn medium forward.
Drawing Center Xanti Schawinsky: Head The Drawing Center’s exhibition will focus on Schawinsky’s work on paper from the 1940s, 12/14/14
Drawings and Faces of particularly the Head Series and Faces of War. These works, including several “War Heads” and
War “Theme and Variation on a Face: Walter Gropius,” break from the utopian optimism of the early
Bauhaus and its later iterations in the United States. Schawinsky’s 1940s series reveal the existential
struggle of an artist informed by Bauhaus idealism coping with the devastation of war. His "faces of
war" are man/machine hybrids, at once disturbingly robotic and representative of the threat of
human self-destruction. These images have been interpreted as depicting either an aggressive
enemy or a powerful avenger; perhaps, they bespeak an identity that encompasses both.
Met In Miniature This exhibition will comprise two groups of portrait miniatures: British, from the sixteenth and early 12/31/14
seventeenth centuries, and French, from the revolutionary period to the Empire. Also included are
several eighteenth-century French gold boxes decorated with narratives or scenes in grisaille. All are
from the Museum's permanent collection and, because of their sensitivity to light, are infrequently
exhibited. Six larger paintings will be exhibited in order to consider what they may share with the
miniatures and to show how they differ.
Met The Art of Collecting Arms The permanent collection of the Department of Arms and Armor is one of the most encyclopedic in 12/6/15
and Armor: Notable the world, rivaled in its scope and depth only by the Royal Armouries in England. To highlight the
Acquisitions, 2003-2014 ongoing development of the collection's multicultural and interdisciplinary nature, this exhibition
will focus on approximately thirty works from Europe, the United States, Japan, India, and Tibet
acquired between 2003 and 2014. Beyond the well-established categories of finely decorated armor,
edged weapons, and firearms, the selection will feature drawings and prints, textiles, and other
materials that are vital, but often unrecognized, aspects of the understanding and appreciation of
arms and armor as a universal art form.

Drawing Center Tomi Ungerer: All in One Tomi Ungerer is best known as the award winning author and illustrator of such beloved 1960s 1/9/2015
children’s classics as The Three Robbers(1963) and Moon Man (1967). But the virtuoso draftsman—
who was born in Alsace, France, in 1931, and who currently resides in a remote part of Ireland near
Cork—is much more than this. Even as Ungerer was busy producing children’s books for the
publisher Harper & Row, he was making a name for himself with witty advertising campaigns for The
New York Times and the Village Voice, biting satirical illustrations about the business world, and
 brutal pictorial responses to racism, fascism, and the Vietnam War. Ungerer also made graphic erotic
drawings throughout his career. That Ungerer is not as well known in America today as he is in
Europe is largely due to his self-imposed exile c.1970, when he and his wife abruptly abandoned
New York and relocated to a farm in Nova Scotia, where Ungerer produced some of his most
exquisite drawings to date.

Cooper-Hewitt Tools: Extending Our This full-floor exhibition includes objects from Cooper Hewitt and nine other Smithsonian x
Reach collections, spanning 1.85 million years of tool use and design, to explore how tools extend the
human body—augmenting our ordinary grasp and power, extending the limits of our senses,
sometimes even serving as substitutes (in the case of prostheses)—while considering how some
tools break into our lives as radical innovations, whereas many others have remained almost
unchanged in form and function for centuries.

MoMA Modern Photographs from The forthcoming website OBJECT: PHOTO The Thomas Walther Collection will present the x
the Thomas Walther culmination of the ambitious, groundbreaking four-year research collaboration between MoMA’s
Collection, 1909 - 1949 departments of Photography and Conservation focused on the development of photographic
modernism in Europe and the United States. The MoMA team is also working with the participation
of over 30 leading international photography scholars and conservators for an eponymous
publication that will be the most extensive effort to integrate conservation and curatorial research
efforts on photography to date and a forerunner of photography research currently underway at
other museums. This collaborative project is led by Maria Morris Hambourg, Founding Curator,
Department of Photographs, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Jim Coddington, Chief
Conservator, The Museum of Modern Art. In their respective departments, the project is overseen by
Mitra Abbaspour, Associate Curator, Department of Photography, and Lee Ann Daffner, Andrew W.

MoMA The Forever Now: Forever Now presents the work of 17 artists whose paintings reflect a singular approach that x
Contemporary Painting in characterizes our cultural moment at the beginning of this new millennium: they refuse to allow us
an Atemporal World to define or even meter our time by them. This phenomenon in culture was first identified by the
science fiction writer William Gibson, who used the term “a-temporality” to describe a cultural
product of our moment that paradoxically doesn’t represent, through style, through content, or
through medium, the time from which it comes. A-temporality, or timelessness, manifests itself in
painting as an ahistorical free-for-all, where contemporaneity as an indicator of new form is
nowhere to be found, and all eras coexist. This profligate mixing of past styles and genres can be
identified as a kind of hallmark for our moment in painting, with artists achieving it by reanimating
historical styles or recreating a contemporary version of them, sampling motifs from across the
timeline of 20th-century art in a single painting or across an oeuvre, or radically paring their
language down to the most archetypal forms.

New Museum Chris Ofili: Night and Day In October 2014, the New Museum will present the first major solo museum exhibition in the United x
States of the work of artist Chris Ofili. Occupying the Museum’s three main galleries, “Chris Ofili:
Night and Day” will span the artist’s influential career, encompassing his work in painting, drawing,
and sculpture. Over the past two decades, Ofili has become identified with vibrant, meticulously
executed, elaborate artworks that meld figuration, abstraction, and decoration. In his extremely
diverse oeuvre, Ofili has taken imagery and inspiration from such disparate, century-spanning
sources as the Bible, hip-hop music, Zimbabwean cave paintings, blaxploitation films, and William
Blake’s poems. As the title of the exhibition suggests, Ofili’s practice has undergone constant
changes, moving from boldly expressive to deeply introspective across an experimental and
prodigious body of work. The exhibition will feature over thirty of Ofili’s major paintings, a vast
quantity of drawings, and a selection of sculptures from over the course of his twenty-year career.

Contemporary India in 1947 was notable for the emergence of the Progressives Artists Group. The second was 1997,
1947/1997 which marked 50 years of India’s independence, a period that coincided with economic
liberalization, political instability, the growth of a religious right wing, as well as a newly globalizing
art market and international biennial circuit, in which Indian artists had begun to participate. The
year 1997 also prompted a host of several important international exhibitions of Indian art around
the world including the first Indian exhibitions in the United States: Out of India, at the Queens
Museum and Traditions/Tensions at The Asia Society 1996-1997. Telling Tales: 5 Women artists

Drawing Center Tomi Ungerer: All in One Tomi Ungerer is best known as the award winning author and illustrator of such beloved 1960s x
children’s classics as The Three Robbers(1963) and Moon Man (1967). But the virtuoso draftsman—
who was born in Alsace, France, in 1931, and who currently resides in a remote part of Ireland near
Cork—is much more than this. Even as Ungerer was busy producing children’s books for the
publisher Harper & Row, he was making a name for himself with witty advertising campaigns
for The New York Times and the Village Voice, biting satirical illustrations about the business world,
and brutal pictorial responses to racism, fascism, and the Vietnam War. Ungerer also made graphic
erotic drawings throughout his career. That Ungerer is not as well known in America today as he is
in Europe is largely due to his self-imposed exile c.1970, when he and his wife abruptly abandoned
New York and relocated to a farm in Nova Scotia, where Ungerer produced some of his most
exquisite drawings to date.
Cooper-Hewitt Tools: Extending Our This full-floor exhibition includes objects from Cooper Hewitt and nine other Smithsonian x
Reach collections, spanning 1.85 million years of tool use and design, to explore how tools extend the
human body—augmenting our ordinary grasp and power, extending the limits of our senses,
 sometimes even serving as substitutes (in the case of prostheses)—while considering how some
tools break into our lives as radical innovations, whereas many others have remained almost
unchanged in form and function for centuries.
Cooper-Hewitt Beautiful Users Beautiful Users, installed in Cooper Hewitt’s gracious first-floor Design Process Galleries, will x
introduce visitors to one of the fundamental changes in design thinking over the past half-century:
the shift toward designs based on observations of human anatomy and behaviour.

objects from the collections of Cooper Hewitt, other Smithsonian museums and Kalman herself,
arranged by the acclaimed author, artist, and designer to suggest the journey of a life story, from
birth through death.
MoMA Modern Photographs from The forthcoming website OBJECT: PHOTO The Thomas Walther Collection will present the x
the Thomas Walther culmination of the ambitious, groundbreaking four-year research collaboration between MoMA’s
Collection, 1909 - 1949 departments of Photography and Conservation focused on the development of photographic
modernism in Europe and the United States. The MoMA team is also working with the participation
of over 30 leading international photography scholars and conservators for an eponymous
publication that will be the most extensive effort to integrate conservation and curatorial research
efforts on photography to date and a forerunner of photography research currently underway at
other museums. This collaborative project is led by Maria Morris Hambourg, Founding Curator,
Department of Photographs, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Jim Coddington, Chief
Conservator, The Museum of Modern Art. In their respective departments, the project is overseen by
Mitra Abbaspour, Associate Curator, Department of Photography, and Lee Ann Daffner, Andrew W.
Mellon Conservator of Photographs. Additionally, a symposium is being planned; details and date
are forthcoming.
MoMA The Forever Now: Forever Now presents the work of 17 artists whose paintings reflect a singular approach that x
Contemporary Painting in characterizes our cultural moment at the beginning of this new millennium: they refuse to allow us
an Atemporal World to define or even meter our time by them. This phenomenon in culture was first identified by the
science fiction writer William Gibson, who used the term “a-temporality” to describe a cultural
product of our moment that paradoxically doesn’t represent, through style, through content, or
through medium, the time from which it comes. A-temporality, or timelessness, manifests itself in
painting as an ahistorical free-for-all, where contemporaneity as an indicator of new form is
nowhere to be found, and all eras coexist. This profligate mixing of past styles and genres can be
identified as a kind of hallmark for our moment in painting, with artists achieving it by reanimating
historical styles or recreating a contemporary version of them, sampling motifs from across the
timeline of 20th-century art in a single painting or across an oeuvre, or radically paring their
language down to the most archetypal forms.
MoMA Uneven Growth: Tactical Uneven Growth seeks to challenge current assumptions about the relationships between formal and x
Urbanisms for Expanding informal, bottom-up and top-down urban development, and to address potential changes in the roles
Megacities architects and urban designers might assume vis-à-vis the increasing inequality of current urban
development. The resulting proposals, which will be presented at MoMA in November 2014, will
consider how emergent forms of tactical urbanism can respond to alterations in the nature of public
space, housing, mobility, spatial justice, environmental conditions, and other major issues in near-
future urban contexts.
Brooklyn Museum Judith Scott -- Bound and Judith Scott’s work is celebrated for its astonishing visual complexity. In a career spanning just x
Unbound seventeen years, Scott developed a unique and idiosyncratic method to produce a body of work of
remarkable originality. Often working for weeks or months on individual pieces, she used yarn,
thread, fabric, and other fibers to envelop found objects into fastidiously woven, wrapped, and
bundled structures.
Jewish Museum Helena Rubinstein: Beauty This is the first museum exhibition to focus on the cosmetics entrepreneur Helena Rubinstein (1872 x
is Power – 1965). Rubinstein – as businesswoman and arts patron – helped break down the status quo of
taste by blurring the boundaries between commerce, art, fashion, beauty, and design. Her innovative
 business and style challenged conservative taste and helped usher in a modern notion of beauty,
democratized and accessible to all. Beauty Is Powerwill reunite much of Rubinstein’s famed
collection, including modern artworks by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Elie Nadelman, and Joan
Miró, among others, as well as her iconic collection of African art, miniature period rooms, jewelry,
and fashion.

most renowned works and is one of the most remarkable accomplishments in American art of the
period.

New Museum Chris Ofili: Night and Day In October 2014, the New Museum will present the first major solo museum exhibition in the United 2/1/15
States of the work of artist Chris Ofili. Occupying the Museum’s three main galleries, “Chris Ofili:
Night and Day” will span the artist’s influential career, encompassing his work in painting, drawing,
and sculpture. Over the past two decades, Ofili has become identified with vibrant, meticulously
executed, elaborate artworks that meld figuration, abstraction, and decoration. In his extremely
diverse oeuvre, Ofili has taken imagery and inspiration from such disparate, century-spanning
sources as the Bible, hip-hop music, Zimbabwean cave paintings, blaxploitation films, and William
Blake’s poems. As the title of the exhibition suggests, Ofili’s practice has undergone constant
changes, moving from boldly expressive to deeply introspective across an experimental and
prodigious body of work. The exhibition will feature over thirty of Ofili’s major paintings, a vast
quantity of drawings, and a selection of sculptures from over the course of his twenty-year career.

timeline of 20th-century art in a single painting or across an oeuvre, or radically paring their
language down to the most archetypal forms.

MoMA Uneven Growth: Tactical Uneven Growth seeks to challenge current assumptions about the relationships between formal and 5/10/2015
Urbanisms for Expanding informal, bottom-up and top-down urban development, and to address potential changes in the roles
Megacities architects and urban designers might assume vis-à-vis the increasing inequality of current urban
development. The resulting proposals, which will be presented at MoMA in November 2014, will
consider how emergent forms of tactical urbanism can respond to alterations in the nature of public
space, housing, mobility, spatial justice, environmental conditions, and other major issues in near-
future urban contexts.

Cooper-Hewitt Tools: Extending Our This full-floor exhibition includes objects from Cooper Hewitt and nine other Smithsonian 5/25/2015
Reach collections, spanning 1.85 million years of tool use and design, to explore how tools extend the
human body—augmenting our ordinary grasp and power, extending the limits of our senses,
sometimes even serving as substitutes (in the case of prostheses)—while considering how some
tools break into our lives as radical innovations, whereas many others have remained almost
unchanged in form and function for centuries.
Guggenheim On Kawara -- Silence Through radically restricted means, On Kawara’s work engages the personal and historical 5/3/2015
consciousness of place and time. Kawara’s practice is often associated with the rise of Conceptual
art, yet in its complex wit and philosophical reach, it stands well apart.
