Ambassador to the Arts

Dear Friends of the Arts, I moved to Manhattan in my early 20s and I’ve never looked back. Here in NYC, with its vitality and life of its own, there are endless opportunities for creative pursuits.

The arts entertain, inspire, provoke, challenge, and unite us. It is the ultimate expression of our humanity. As New York City’s Ambassador to the Arts for this year’s guide, I encourage you to experience the offerings found in every part of the city—from theatres and clubs, galleries, parks, street corners, concert halls and even below in the subways.

I urge you to continue your patronage of the arts and be grateful, as I am, for this richly diverse bounty available for all of us to savor.

Atlantic Theater Company What Rhymes With America Linda Gross Theater World Premiere november 20–december 30, 2012 opens december 12, 2012

By Melissa James Gibson Directed by Daniel Aukin a father and his teenage daughter stand on either side of a closed door. Life is unraveling for him, and is entirely uncertain for her. So begins Melissa James Gibson’s poignant, funny new play about estrangement and the partially examined life. With her spare style, mordant wit, and compassionate insight, one of the most emotionally penetrating and unique voices in theater today wonders What Rhymes With America.

Three Kinds Of Exile Linda Gross Theater World Premiere february 6–march 17, 2013 opens february 27, 2013

By John Guare Directed by Neil Pepe with great psychological insight and arresting theatricality, John Guare presents us with three artists, all of whom forged complicated lives in the West, having struggled and suffered amid the cultural and political turmoil of Eastern Europe in the mid-20th century. Drawing from the experiences of three real exiles from Czechoslovakia and Poland, Guare weaves the stories of these lives into a riveting dramatic tapestry and probes the meaning of home, identity, and how we carry the past with us.

Atlantic Theater Company The Jammer Atlantic Stage 2 New York Premiere january 9–february 10, 2013 opens january 22, 2013

By Rolin Jones in this wild theatrical adventure about New York in the late 1950s, The Jammer plunges us into the hard-boiled, bizarre world of professional roller derby. Rolin Jones, the irreverent and inventive author of Atlantic’s The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow, introduces us to Jack Lovington, a lovelorn Brooklynite who needs to find himself and stake a claim in the world. When he joins up with the rough and tumble Brooklyn Brown Devils, little does Jack know that his life is about to be turned completely upside down and that he’s about to find himself on a most unexpected roller coaster ride. With great humor, wit, and heart, Jones takes us back to the Bushwick of yesteryear and creates a romantic urban fable for our time.

Carnegie Hall

F

or over a century, carnegie Beauty shots of Stern Hall has been the place where Auditorium/Perelman Stage distinctive artists of all stripes Photo: © Jeff Goldberg / Esto have come to make their names in New York City. This tradition of excellence has made Carnegie Hall an essential part of the city’s cultural fabric and the world’s most famous concert hall.

Its remarkable architectural design and incredible legacy has made Carnegie Hall a national historic landmark and vital cultural center. Before Andrew Carnegie commissioned him to build one, New York City architect William Burnet Tuthill had never designed a concert hall. Clearly, his lack of experience was no detriment: Not only did Tuthill conceive an elegant building, but his work also—and most notably—gave Carnegie Hall its legendary sound.

Carnegie Hall’s mission is to present extraordinary music and musicians on the three stages of this legendary hall, to bring the transformative power of music to the widest possible audience, to provide visionary education programs, and to foster the future of music through the cultivation of new works, artists, and audiences.

There’s been a death, in the opposite house

This is my letter to the world

I’m nobody! Who are you?

It dropped so low - in my regard

Bee! I’m expecting you!

I had no tie to hate

I’ll tell you how the sun rose

The way I read a letter’s this

I felt a cleaving in my mind

I meant to find her when I came

Success is counted sweetest

T

he frick collection is one of The Fragonard Room New York City’s most beloved Photo: Michael Bodycomb cultural treasures. Here you can learn more about the exceptional works of Western European art from the Renaissance to the end of the 19th century that industrialist Henry Clay Frick generously bequeathed to the public. Remarkable paintings, sculptures, and decorative art objects are presented in the family’s former Fifth Avenue mansion, and the special ambience provided by this setting—that of an art connoisseur’s home—has been preserved. exhibitions Mantegna to Matisse: Master Drawings From The Courtauld Gallery october 2, 2012 through january 27, 2013 in keeping with its tradition of exhibiting masterworks from collections outside of New York, the Frick will present 58 drawings from The Courtauld Gallery, London.

The Frick Collection This exhibition marks the first time that so many of the principal drawings in The Courtauld’s renowned collection—one of Britain’s most important—have been made available for loan. The prized sheets represent a survey of the extraordinary draftsmanship of Italian, Dutch, Flemish, German, Spanish, British, and French artists active between the late Middle Ages and the early 20th century. The survey features works executed in a range of drawing techniques and styles and for a variety of purposes, including preliminary sketches, practice studies, aide-mémoires, designs for other artworks, and finished pictures meant to be appreciated as independent works of art.

Among the artists in the Frick’s exhibition are Andrea Mantegna, Leonardo da Vinci, Albrecht Dürer, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Peter Paul Rubens, Jusepe de Ribera, Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn, Jean-Antoine Watteau, Charles-Joseph Natoire, Thomas Gainsborough, Francisco Goya y Lucientes, Joseph Mallord William Turner, Théodore Géricault, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Georges Seurat, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso. The Courtauld Institute of Art, devoted to the study of art history, was founded in 1932. Its collection was established that same year with Samuel Courtauld’s (1876–1947) magnificent gift of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, including many important works on paper. With additional bequests and gifts from various donors, an ensemble of outstanding works on paper from a wide range of time periods was formed. Today, the holdings consist of about 7,000 drawings and watercolors and 20,000 prints, reflecting the various benefactors’ tastes and preferences. Sir Robert Witt (1872–1952) bequeathed Courtauld Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) both his photographic archive Helena Fourment, c. 1630 (which served as one of the Black, red and white chalk and pen primary models for the Frick’s and ink 24 x 21.7 inches Art Reference Library) and © The Samuel Courtauld Trust, The approximately 3,000 Old Master Courtauld Gallery, London www.guideforthearts.com

Van Gogh’s Portrait Of a Peasant (Patience Escalier) on Loan From The Norton Simon museum, Pasadena october 30, 2012 through january 20, 2013 the frick collection presents Vincent van Gogh’s Portrait of a Peasant (Patience Escalier). The painting has not left its home institution, the Norton Simon Museum, in Pasadena, CA, in nearly 40 years, making this a particularly rare and exciting viewing opportunity for East Coast audiences. This modern masterpiece will be shown in the Frick’s Oval Room from October 30, 2012, through January 20, 2013, and will be accompanied by lectures and gallery talks. The special loan is part of an ongoing exchange program with the Norton Simon Museum that began in 2009 when a group of five works from the 16th and 17th centuries travelled to New York. Other loans have followed: the Frick’s Comtesse d’Haussonville by Ingres was shown at the Norton Simon in the fall of 2009, and Memling’s Portrait of a Man was on view there this past winter and spring.

The van Gogh presentation in New York is being coordinated

by Frick Senior Curator Susan Galassi, who comments, “Our exchange program with the Norton Simon Museum has offered both institutions opportunities to see their works in different contexts.

For the most part, we have featured artists not represented in our own holdings, as is the case with the selection of this remarkable van Gogh portrait. In this instance, the Van Gogh timing feels particularly fortunate, Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) as we’ve spent the last year focusing Portrait of a Peasant (Patience Escalier), Arles, August 1888 on artists—Renoir and Picasso— Oil on canvas 25 3/8 x 21 ½ inches active in the late 19th and early © Norton Simon Art Foundation 20th centuries and somewhat 58

These efforts have led us to consider, among other things, the influences upon these later artists by forebears such as Rembrandt, and placing a van Gogh among our holdings in the coming fall is sure to continue this exploration fruitfully.”

Precision and Splendor: Clocks and Watches at The Frick Collection january 23 through july 23, 2013 the frick collection has one of the most important public collections of European timepieces in the United States, much of it acquired through the 1999 bequest of the New York collector Winthrop Kellogg Edey. This extraordinary gift of 38 watches and clocks Clocks dating from the Renaissance to Pierre de Fobis (1506–1575) Gilt-Brass Table Clock, c.1532 the early 19th century covers Gilded brass 5 x 2 3/16 inches the art of horology in France, Bequest of Winthrop Germany, Switzerland, and the Kellogg Edey, 1999 The Frick Collection United Kingdom. For reasons of space, only part of the collection Photo: Michael Bodycomb can be on permanent view in the museum’s galleries. In 2001 many pieces from the Edey collection were featured in The Art of the Timekeeper: Masterpieces from the Winthrop Edey Bequest, an exhibition organized at the Frick by guest curator William J. H. Andrewes. In the winter and spring of 2013, visitors will have another opportunity to explore the breadth and significance of the Edey collection through an exhibition that presents fourteen watches and eleven clocks from his bequest.

Shown in the new Portico Gallery, the exhibition illustrates the stylistic and technical developments of timepieces from 1500 to 1830. Edey’s remarkable collection of Renaissance clocks is represented by a master work by Pierre de Fobis and his interest in watches by significant examples signed by George Smith, Henry Arlaud, Pierre Huaud, Julien Le Roy, Thomas Mudge, www.guideforthearts.com

The Impressionist Line From Degas to ToulouseLautrec: Drawings and Prints From The Clark march 12 through june 16, 2013 in spring 2013, The Frick Collection will present 58 prints and drawings from the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, renowned for its rich holdings in 19th century French art. The works were selected

by Colin B.

Photo: Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute The selection focuses on several artistic visionaries of the 19th century, including Delacroix, Courbet, Manet, Degas, Gauguin, and Toulouse-Lautrec. Nearly half of the sheets in the exhibition were acquired by Sterling and Francine Clark, who were avid collectors of Impressionism, while others have entered the Clark since its opening in 1955. The prints and drawings will be shown at the Frick as part of the Clark’s commitment to global outreach through cultural exchange, organized at the same moment when 72 of the Clark’s great French paintings are on an international tour in Europe, North America, and Asia. This exhibition at the Frick marks the first time that the Clark’s 19th century French works on paper have been the focus of a loan show.

The Frick Collection Important examples of the Realist and Impressionist schools dominate the exhibition. A group of prints by Édouard Manet, including his iconic Execution of Maximilian (1868), highlights the artist’s virtuosic approach to etching and lithography. Thirteen sheets by his contemporary Edgar Degas, one of the founders of Impressionism, present the full range of his draftsmanship—from early, academic studies to his daring nudes of the 1890s. Sheets by fellow Impressionists Berthe Morisot, Claude Monet, PierreAuguste Renoir, and Camille Pissarro speak to the experimental, and often divergent, approaches to drawing and printmaking in the third quarter of the 19th century. A selection of works by postImpressionist Paul Gauguin includes four prints on vibrant yellow paper from the Volpini Suite (1889). The artist’s color woodcuts present flattened, nearly abstract forms inspired by his first trip to Tahiti in 1891. Gauguin’s virtuosic approach to line is echoed in Paul Cézanne’s Bathers (1898), a luminous color lithograph depicting male figures in a sylvan landscape. The exhibition culminates with an ensemble of 11 works by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, including three images from his famous Elles portfolio (1896), a series of lithographic images of prostitutes. Other works by ToulouseLautrec present the glittering world of modern Parisian amusement, from acrobats at the Cirque Fernando to the dancer Loie Fuller represented in her glittering, swirling costume.

Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Hals: Masterpieces of Dutch Painting From The Mauritshuis october 22, 2013 through january 21, 2014 the frick collection is pleased to announce that in the fall of 2013, it will be the final venue of an American tour of paintings from the Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis, The Hague. This prestigious Dutch museum, which has not lent a large body of works from its holdings in nearly 30 years, is undergoing an extensive two-year renovation that makes this opportunity possible. Between January 2013 and January 2014, the Mauritshuis will send 35 paintings to the United States, following two stops at Japanese institutions. The American exhibition opens next winter at de Young/Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, traveling on to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta for the summer of 2013.

The core holdings of the Mauritshuis were acquired by Stadholder William V, Prince of Orange-Nassau (1748–1806), whose son, King William I (1772–1843), presented them to the Dutch nation in 1816. Consisting of nearly 300 paintings in 1822, the holdings of the Mauritshuis have grown to approximately 800 such works.

The Frick Collection White Gold: Highlights From The Arnhold Collection of Meissen Porcelain now extended through january 6, 2013 this year, visitors to The Frick Collection have been enjoying a new gallery—the first major addition to the museum’s display spaces in nearly 35 years. Since opening last December, the Portico Gallery has won a Merit Award from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) New York Chapter, as well as the Transformation Award from the Friends of the Upper East Side Historic Districts. Designed by architects and planners David Brody Bond, the gallery integrates the outdoor garden portico on Fifth Avenue into the fabric of the museum, offering fresh vistas as well as a light and airy space devoted to the display of decorative arts and sculpture.

Now extended through January 6, 2013, the inaugural exhibition features nearly 70 objects drawn from a larger promised gift of porcelain from the collection of Henry Arnhold, one of the greatest private holdings of early Meissen assembled during the 20th century. White Gold: Highlights from the Arnhold Collection of Meissen Porcelain was organized by Charlotte Vignon, Associate Curator of Decorative Arts. Among the objects featured and illustrated are a pair of trumpet-shaped vases with elephant-head handles, rare survivors of an extraordinary series. In specially designed wall cases on the north side of the new gallery are four groups of objects from the Arnhold Collection, each representing a collecting focus and strength: stoneware, Meissen Chinoiserie, Japanese and Japanese-inspired wares, and independently decorated wares known as Hausmaler. These objects, long-admired for their masterfully modeled shapes, compositions, and gemlike glazes, offer a window into the early years of manufacturing porcelain in the West and celebrate a chapter in the history of the ceramic medium.

The Deutsche Bank Series at the Guggenheim: Gabriel Orozco: Asterisms november 9, 2012–january 13, 2013 gabriel orozco’s asterisms, the final project in Deutsche Guggenheim’s commissioning program, is a two-part sculptural and photographic installation comprising thousands of items of detritus Orozco has gathered at two sites—a playing field near the artist’s home in New York and a protected coastal biosphere in Baja California, Mexico, that is also the repository for flows of industrial and commercial waste from across the Pacific Ocean. The two related bodies of work provocatively oscillate between the macro and the micro and invoke several of the artist’s recurring motifs, including the traces of erosion, poetic encounters with mundane materials, and the ever-present tension between nature and culture. The show also underscores and amplifies Orozco’s subtle practice of subjecting the world to personal, idiosyncratic systems.

The exhibition is organized by Nancy Gabriel Orozco Spector, Deputy Sandstars, 2012 Approximately 1,200 found objects, including wood, Director and Chief metal, glass, paper, plastic, Styrofoam, rock, rope, Curator, Solomon rubber, and other materials, and 13 photographic grids, each comprising 99 chromogenic prints.

This retrospective of Indian-born American artist Zarina Hashmi is the first major exploration of the artist’s career, charting a developmental arc from her work in the 1960s to the present and includes many seminal works from the late 1960s and early 1970s, woodblock prints, etchings and lithographs, and a small selection of related sculptures in bronze and cast paper. The Guggenheim’s recent acquisition of 20 works from a major series of pin drawings from 1975 to 1977 serves as a fulcrum for the New York presentation, which is conceived in close collaboration with the artist. An exhibition catalogue provides insights into her life and work. The New York presentation is organized by Sandhini Poddar, Associate Curator, Asian Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

Gutai: Splendid Playground february 15–may 8, 2013 as part of the Guggenheim’s Asian Art Program, the museum presents North America’s first museum exhibition devoted to Gutai, the most influential artists’ collective and artistic movement in postwar Japan and one of the most important international avantgarde movements of the 1950s and 1960s. Organized thematically and chronologically to explore Gutai’s inventive approach to materials, process, and performativity, the exhibition explores the group’s radical experimentation across a range of media and styles and demonstrates how individual artists pushed the limits of what art could be in a postatomic age. The spectrum of works includes painting, experimental performance and film, indoor and outdoor installation art, sound art, interactive or “playful” art, light art, and Kinetic art. The exhibition comprises some 120 objects by 25 artists on loan from museum and private collections in Japan, the United States, and Europe, and offers new scholarship, especially on so-called late Gutai works that date from 1965 to 1972.

new york city

Guggenheim Museum perception, light, color, and space, with a special focus on the role of site-specificity in his practice. At its core is a major new project that recasts the Guggenheim rotunda as an enormous volume filled with shifting artificial and natural light. One of the most dramatic transformations of the museum ever conceived, the installation reimagines Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic architecture—its openness to nature, graceful curves, and magnificent sense of space—as one of Turrell’s Skyspaces, referencing in particular his magnum opus Roden Crater (1976–). Reorienting visitors’ experiences of the rotunda from above to below, the exhibition gives form to the air and light occupying the museum’s central void, proposing an entirely new experience of the building. Other works from throughout the artist’s career will be displayed in the museum’s Annex Level galleries, offering a complement and counterpoint to the new work in the rotunda. Organized in conjunction with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, James Turrell (working title) comprises one-third of a major retrospective exhibition spanning the United States during summer 2013. This exhibition is curated by Carmen Giménez, Stephen and Nan Swid Curator of Twentieth-Century Art, and Nat Trotman, Associate Curator, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

Robert Motherwell: The Early Collages (working title) september 27, 2013–january 5, 2014 the guggenheim museum is organizing an exhibition devoted exclusively to papier collés and related works on paper from the 1940s and early 1950s by the American artist Robert Motherwell.

By reexamining the artist’s origins and his engagement with this technique, which he described in 1944 as “the greatest of our [art] discoveries,” the exhibition will investigate the artist’s work during a pivotal decade in his career. Featuring approximately 50 artworks, the exhibition also honors Peggy Guggenheim’s early patronage.

At her urging, and under the tutelage of émigré Surrealist artist Roberto Matta, Motherwell first experimented with the papier collé technique. As he recalled years later, “I might never have done it otherwise, and it was here that I found ... my identity.” The exhibition will open at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice,

Christopher Wool october 25, 2013–january 22, 2014 at the heart of Christopher Wool’s creative project, which spans three decades of rigorous and highly focused practice, is the question of how a picture can be conceived, realized, and experienced today. Engaging the complexities of painting as a medium, as well as the anxious rhythms of the urban environment and a wide range of cultural references, his agile, largely monochrome works propose an open-ended series of responses to this central problem. This retrospective will fill the museum’s Frank Lloyd Wright-designed rotunda and an adjacent gallery with a rich selection of paintings, photographs, and works on paper, forming the most comprehensive examination to date of Wool’s influential career. The exhibition is organized by Katherine Brinson, Associate Curator, and will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.

This exhibition is supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Ongoing Exhibitions Kandinsky 1911–1913 more than any other 20th century painter, Vasily Kandinsky has been closely linked to the history of the Guggenheim Museum. Hilla Rebay—artist, art advisor, and the museum’s first director—promoted nonobjective painting above all other forms of abstraction. She was particularly inspired by the work and writing of Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstraction, who believed that the task of the painter was to convey his own inner world, rather than imitate the natural world. The museum’s holdings have grown to include more than 150 works by Kandinsky, and focused exhibitions of his works are presented in Annex Level 3.

The current installation, Kandinsky 1911–1913, highlights paintings completed at the moment the artist made great strides toward

Constructed specifically for the exhibition were two Frank Lloyd Wright-designed buildings: a temporary pavilion made of glass, fiberboard, and pipe columns, and a 1,700-squarefoot, fully furnished two-bedroom Usonian exhibition house representing Wright’s organic solution for modest, middle-class dwellings. This presentation on view in the Sackler Center for Arts Education pays tribute to these two structures, which, as Wright himself noted, represented a long-awaited tribute as the first Wright buildings to be erected in New York.

Guggenheim Museum The Thannhauser Collection bequeathed to the museum by art dealer and collector Justin K. Thannhauser, The Thannhauser Collection includes a selection of canvases, works on paper, and sculpture that represents the earliest works in the museum’s collection. The Thannhauser holdings include significant works by Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Camille Pissarro, and Vincent van Gogh. Thannhauser’s commitment to supporting the early careers of such artists as Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and Franz Marc, and to educating the public about modern art, paralleled the vision of the Guggenheim Foundation’s originator, Solomon R. Guggenheim. Among the works Thannhauser gave are such incomparable masterpieces as Van Gogh’s Mountains at Saint-Rémy (Montagnes à Saint-Rémy, July 1889), Manet’s Before the Mirror (Devant la glace, 1876), and close to 30 paintings and drawings by Picasso, including his seminal Édouard Manet Before the Mirror (Devant works Le Moulin de la Galette la glace), 1876 (autumn 1900) and Woman Ironing Oil on canvas, 92.1 x 71.4 cm (La Repasseuse, spring 1904).

Designing Nature: The Rinpa Aesthetic in Japanese Art may 26, 2012–january 13, 2013 rinpa—literally meaning “School of Ogata Korin”—is a modern term referring to a distinctive style of Japanese pictorial and applied arts that arose in the early 17th century and has continued into modern times. It embraces art marked by a bold, graphic abbreviation of natural motifs, frequent reference to traditional court literature and poetry, lavish use of expensive mineral and metallic pigments, incorporation of calligraphy into painting compositions, and innovative experimentation with new brush techniques. Featuring some 75 brilliantly executed works created in Japan by the Rinpa-school artists, the exhibition traces the development of the Rinpa aesthetic and demonstrates how its style continued to influence artists throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Comprising some 50 works from the Museum’s own holdings, supplemented by some 25 loans from public and private collections on the East Coast, it includes many masters’ renowned works in a variety of media—painting, textiles, lacquerware, and ceramics. It will be held in two rotations.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art this exhibition, which encircles the Astor Chinese Garden Court, explores the pictorial imagery of gardens as an abiding source of artistic invention. Enclosed gardens have long been an integral part of residential and palace architecture in urban centers of China.

With more than 70 paintings and contemporary photographs as well as ceramics, carved bamboo, lacquerware, metalwork, textiles, and other applied arts from the Museum’s collection, the exhibition examines the rich interactions between pictorial and garden arts in China across more than 1,000 years.

Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years september 18–december 31, 2012 commentators on contemporary art have often claimed that Warhol is the most influential artist of the last half-century. No exhibition, however, has truly examined that assertion in depth.

The exhibition is built around five broad themes ranging from vernacular subject matter to celebrity portraiture to issues of sexual identity. The presentation will include approximately 150 works of art in a broad range of media across five decades. A quarter of the selected works are by Warhol, and they will be juxtaposed with key examples by some 50 leading contemporary artists. The show will be arranged as a series of thematic vignettes, not simply to demonstrate Warhol’s overt influence, but to suggest how artists both worked in parallel modes and developed his model in dynamic new directions.

Fired as terracotta, these studies and related drawings preserve the first traces of the thought process that evolved into some of the most famous statuary in the city, including the fountains in the Piazza Navonna and the angels on the Ponte San Angelo.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Faking It: Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop october 11, 2012–january 27, 2013 this is the first major exhibition devoted to the history of doctored photographs, from handpainted daguerreotypes and altered prints of the 1840s to the pre-digital dreamscapes of the late 20th century. While Photoshop and other digital editing programs have brought about an increased awareness of the degree to which photographs can be manipulated, photographers— including such major artists as Gustave Le Gray, Henry Peach Robinson, Edward Steichen, and John Baldessari—have been fabricating, modifying, and otherwise manipulating camera images since the medium was first invented. Featuring some 160 visually captivating photographs created in the service of art, politics, news, entertainment, and commerce, this international loan exhibition will significantly revise our understanding of photographic history as it traces the medium’s complex and changing relationship to visual truth. The exhibition is made possible in part by Adobe Systems Incorporated.

Extravagant Inventions: The Princely Furniture of the Roentgens october 30, 2012–january 27, 2013 the meteoric rise of the workshop of Abraham Roentgen (1711–1793) and his son David (1743–1807) blazed across 18th century Continental Europe. This landmark exhibition will be the first comprehensive survey of the cabinetmaking firm from around 1740 to its closing in about 1795. Its innovative designs combined with intriguing mechanical devices to revolutionize traditional French and English furniture types. From its base in Germany the workshop employed novel marketing and production techniques to serve an international clientele. Some 60-65 pieces of furniture and several clocks will be complemented by paintings and prints that depict these unrivaled masterpieces in contemporary interiors.

African Art, New York, and the Avant-Garde december 4, 2012–april 14, 2013 the celebrated 1913 International Exhibition of Modern Art, known as the Armory Show, was a major turning point for the art world in America. Inextricably tied to the introduction of the European avant-garde and the development of a more specific American modernity, this event played a major role in awakening an appreciation for African sculptures as fine art. As an extension of the centennial celebration of the Armory Show taking place in New York City in 2013, the exhibition will highlight the specific African artifacts acquired by the New York avantgarde and its most influential collectors and patrons during the years that directly followed the Armory Show, and will bring together African works from the collections of influential figures such as Robert J. Coady, Alfred Stieglitz, Marius de Zayas, Max Weber, John Quinn, Louise and Walter Arensberg, Alain Locke, and Eugene and Agnes Meyer.

Matisse: In Search of True Painting december 4, 2012–march 17, 2013 at the end of 1905, French artist Henri Matisse (1869–1954) was proclaimed the leader of a new school of painting. From that point until just before the outbreak of World War I, Matisse pushed the boundaries of his art by painting in pairs. These groups of large canvases—Young Sailor I and II (1906; private collection and The Metropolitan Museum of Art), Le Luxe I and II (1907; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris and The Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen), and Nasturtiums with the Painting “Dance” I and II (1912; the Metropolitan Museum and The State Pushkin Museum, Moscow)—each feature identical motifs painted on identically sized canvases in markedly different styles and palettes. Over the ensuing decades, Matisse continued his aesthetic explorations, sometimes painting strictly in pairs, and other times in trios or series: lightfilled hotel rooms in Nice, pebble-strewn beaches in Normandy, still lifes composed of fruit and patterned fabrics. “My idea,” he explained, “is to push further and deeper into true painting.” In 1940 Matisse hired a photographer to document the way in which his compositions often changed dramatically from one day to the next. Five years later, Aimé Maeght inaugurated his Paris gallery with an exhibition conceived by Matisse. Colorful canvases such as The Dream (1940; Private collection) and Still Life with Magnolia (1940; Centre Pompidou, Paris) were juxtaposed with black-andwhite photographs of earlier states of the paintings. Matisse’s search for the essence of his subject was on display, and the exhibition confirmed that the journey was as rewarding as the final result.

Matisse: In Search of True Painting will include approximately 40 paintings by Matisse, as well as photographs of the installation of the December 1945 Galerie Maeght exhibition. New technical studies have been carried out on the early pairs and will be presented in the context of the exhibition and in the accompanying catalogue.

The suite of elegant new galleries will provide visitors with a rich and captivating experience of the history of American art from the 18th to the early 20th century.

The centerpiece of the new installation is Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze’s monumental and iconic painting Washington Crossing the Delaware. Twenty-one galleries will feature the extraordinary collection of American paintings—including such masters as Gilbert Stuart, Frederic Edwin Church, Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, and John Singer Sargent. Interspersed among the pictures will be American sculptures, notably the work of Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Three other galleries, together with a grand pre-revolutionary New York interior, will display 18th century American decorative arts, principally treasures of colonial furniture and silver. In The Henry R. Luce Center for the Study of American Art, a concurrent renovation includes additional casework, touchscreen case labels, and upgraded computer access. Part hof the American Wing renovation project opened in January 2007 with galleries dedicated to the classical arts of America, 1810–1845.

Part 2, inaugurated in May 2009, included the renovated Charles Engelhard Court and the Period Rooms. After Part 3 is completed, nearly all of the American Wing’s 17,000 works will be on view, constituting an encyclopedic survey of fine art in the United States.

The organization of the galleries by geographical area emphasizes the rich diversity of the Islamic world, over a span of 1300 years, by underscoring the many distinct cultures within its fold.

The André Mertens Galleries for Musical Instruments opened march 2, 2010 the gallery devoted to Western musical instruments reopened in March 2010, showcasing more than 230 works drawn primarily from the Metropolitan’s extensive holdings of musical instruments, among the most important in the world. The new installation focuses attention on individual masterworks by exploring each within its musical and cultural context, by offering exciting comparisons of how individual makers realized the same concept, and by introducing examples of the various instruments’ developments. Among the wide range of objects on view— keyboard, string, percussion, woodwind, and brass instruments— a highlight is the famed “Batta” cello made in Cremona, Italy, by Antonio Stradivari (1644–1737), on loan from a private collection.

The reinstallation also includes new acquisitions and objects from the permanent collection that have rarely been seen by the public.

At the roots of this transnational connection is the empire established the end of the fifth century by the Huns (Hunas or Hephthalites) that extended from Afghanistan to the northern plains of India. Although this political system soon disintegrated into chaos, over the next century trade routes connecting India to the western reaches of the Central Asian Silk Road continued to link these distant communities, facilitating ideological exchange and financing the production of Buddhist imagery of great artistic sophistication.

Colors of the Universe: Chinese Hardstone Carvings june 16, 2012–january 6, 2013 this remarkable selection of carvings, drawn from the Museum’s extensive permanent collection, presents the lapidary art of later China, including not only jade, the most esteemed of East Asian gems, but also agate, malachite, turquoise, quartz, lapis lazuli, coral, amber and a variety of soapstones.

His chaotic lines, lush washes, and indeterminate stains create thickets of representational noise that are as exuberant as they are deceptively scatterbrained. The artist’s line quality, often similar to a doodle or illustration, is both idle and obsessive, serving for Brand as the raw material of the mind, as a transcription of the automatic or subconscious.

“plywood,” explained Popular Science in 1948, “is a layer cake of lumber and glue.” In the history of design, plywood is also an important modern material that has given 20th century designers of everyday objects, furniture, and even architecture greater flexibility in shaping modern forms at an industrial scale.

Individual galleries will focus on particular topics, ranging from specific locales that nourished influential groups of artists to key strategies shared by diverse practitioners of the same generation. Others will display a single significant installation or artist’s project. Like the fifth- and fourth-floor galleries, the second-floor galleries will be periodically reinstalled to reflect the depth and richness of the Museum’s collection, and to allow for varying approaches to the wide variety of art produced during the last 30 years.

The Shaping of New Visions: Photography, Film, Photobook april 18, 2012– april 29, 2013 The Edward Steichen Photography Galleries, third floor this exhibition, covering the period from 1910 to today, offers a critical reassessment of photography’s role in the avant-garde and neo-avant-garde movements—with a special emphasis on the medium’s relation to Dada, Bauhaus, Surrealism, Constructivism, New Objectivity, Conceptual, and post-Conceptual art—and in the development of contemporary artistic practices.

New to the Print Collection: Matisse to Bourgeois june 13, 2012–january 7, 2013 this exhibition showcases some 80 prints and artists’ books the Museum has acquired over the past two years, and reveals how an art collection is always a work in progress. On view for the first time at MoMA, these seminal works in the history of printmaking span more than a century, from 1888 to 2011, with some contextualized by related works already in the collection. Pablo Picasso’s 1937 print The Weeping Woman, acquired in 2011, which filled one of the last major gaps in MoMA’s holdings of works by the artist, is shown alongside the third state of the same image that joined the collection in 1999. Likewise, the 1958 linoleum cut Solid as a Rock (My God Is Rock), by Charles White, acquired in 2010, is complemented by a 112

The Museum of Modern Art lithograph by White that was donated to the Museum more than 40 years ago, and illuminates White’s widespread impact on a younger generation of artists. Other highlights include Jasper Johns’s celebrated screenprint Flags I (1973), two vertical flags printed with 31 screens, which adds a key example of Johns’ early screen printing to the collection. The exhibition also addresses more experimental processes that have often led to rare or one-of-a-kind works, from James Ensor’s hand-colored Deadly Sins (1888–1904) and a group of Henri Matisse’s monotypes (1914–15), to a recent monumental cyanotype by Christian Marclay.

Lip-Reading Puppets: The Curators’ Prescription for Deciphering the Quay Brothers august 9, 2012–january 7, 2013 MoMAFilm: The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters presented in conjunction with the Museum’s Quay Brothers gallery exhibition, this is a complete retrospective of the film and video works of the twin Quay Brothers, the Philadelphia born, London-based masters of stop-motion puppet animation and live-action film. Organized to encourage an appreciation of their versatility across a range of moving image genres, this series of twice-monthly screenings includes shorts, dance films, documentaries, music videos, commercial spots, and their two feature films. Never before has their distinctive visual poetry of gesture and alienation been presented in full. The series opens with screenings of MoMA’s new 35mm print of the Quay Brothers’ first feature, Institute Benjamenta, a luminous black-and-white adaptation of the novel Jacob von Gunten, by Swiss writer Robert Walser, one of the literary misfits whose work has been a major inspiration for the Quay Brothers.

Eyes Closed/Eyes Open: Recent Acquisitions in Drawings august 9, 2012–january 7, 2013 this installation from the collection highlights three series of recently acquired works, Franz Erhard Walther’s First Work Set (1963–69), Williem de Kooning’s 24 Untitled drawings (1966), and Martha Rosler’s House Beautiful: Bringing the War Home (1967–72). www.guideforthearts.com

The Museum of Modern Art Over the second half of the 1960s, drawing was taken apart as a discipline and put to multiple uses. Highlighting concepts of process, participation, and protest, these three series of works were produced at the climax of a decade that witnessed radical upheavals across social, political, and cultural borders. This simple chronological coincidence connects them in one aspect, yet in purpose, aesthetics, and address, the three artists have taken vastly divergent approaches. Whether turned inward, outward, or sideways, the visual experiences these works engender speak to the varied ways we choose to be present in the world.

Franz Erhard Walther emphasized the relationship between the art object and the body in space with his First Work Set, a group of 58 fabric elements that can only be fully activated through human participation. Facilitators will be present in the galleries during designated hours to assist visitors in performing a selection of Walther’s First Work Set. Accompanying the fabric elements is a suite of Work Drawings that Walther likened to musical scores, and that illustrate each object on both a functional and a conceptual level. The 24 Untitled drawings that Willem de Kooning sketched with his eyes closed offer a counterpoint to Walther’s project in their focus on the artist’s internal vision and personal action. Finally, Martha Rosler’s two House Beautiful: Bringing the War Home series turn a critical eye on the era’s sociopolitical context and expanding media sphere, especially as they played out in the bodies of women and victims of military violence.

Quay Brothers: On Deciphering the Pharmacist’s Prescription for Lip-Reading Puppets august 12, 2012–january 7, 2013 The Michael H. Dunn Gallery, second floor this moma gallery exhibition and accompanying film retrospective will be the first presentation of the Quay Brothers’ work in all their fields of creative activity. Internationally renowned moving image artists and designers, the Quay Brothers were born outside Philadelphia and have worked from their London studio, Atelier Koninck, since the late 1970s. For over 30 years, they have been in the avant-garde of stop-motion puppet animation and live-action movie-making in the Eastern European tradition of filmmakers like Walerian Borowczyk and Jan Svankmajer 114

The Museum of Modern Art and the Russian Yuri Norstein, and have championed a design aesthetic influenced by the graphic surrealism of Polish poster artists of the 1950s and 1960s. Beginning with their student films in 1971, the Quay Brothers have produced over 45 moving image works, including two features, music videos, dance films, documentaries, and signature personal works, including The Street of Crocodiles (1986), the Stille Nacht series (1988–2008), Institute Benjamenta (1995), and In Absentia (2000). They have also designed sets and projections for opera, drama, and concert performances such as Tchaikovky’s Mazeppa (1991), Ionesco’s The Chairs (Tony-nominated design, 1997), Richard Ayre’s The Cricket Recovers (2005), and recent site-specific pieces based on the work of Bartók and Kafka.

In addition to their better known films, this exhibition will include never-before-seen moving image works and graphic design, drawings, and calligraphy, presenting animated and live-action films alongside installations, objects, and works on paper.

Michele Abeles’ (American, b. 1977) elegant studio constructions combine common objects, such as potted plants, printed fabrics, and wine bottles, with nude males whose bodies are often truncated by the frame, to create images that renegotiate the creative process of still life and nude photography.

The Museum of Modern Art urban landscape of Shanghai. Their mass accumulation of snapshots of friends and family eating, working, sleeping, and hanging out, speak to a world of total image saturation and the obsessive documentation of the facebook generation. Often using a technique of re-photography, Anne Collier’s (American, b. 1970) meticulous compositions are informed as much by West Coast conceptual art practices as by product photography and advertising. Her dryly humorous pictures engage in formal and psychological associations that frame recurrent tensions of power and gender.

Zoe Crosher (American, b. 1975) calls photography’s veracity into question by re-arranging, re-photographing, and re-imagining the archive of Michelle Dubois, an all-American girl who was devoted to relentless self-documentation in the 1970s and ’80s. Drawing on the language of commercial photography, Shirana Shahbazi (German, born Iran 1974) approaches recognizable photographic genres like portraiture, still life, abstraction, and landscape with a distinctly analytical eye. She investigates the circulation and production of images today by outputting her pictures in multiple forms, from photographic wall murals to discrete photographs and photorealist paintings. Together, these artists speak to the diverse permutations of photography in an era when the definition of the medium is continually changing.

Now Dig This! Art and Black Los Angeles 1960–1980 october 2012–february 2013 MoMA PS1 now dig this! Art and Black Los Angeles 1960–1980 chronicles the vital legacy of the African American artistic community in Los Angeles, examining a pioneering group of black artists whose work, connections, and friendships with other artists of varied ethnic backgrounds influenced the creative community and artistic practices that developed in Los Angeles during this historic period.

The exhibition presents well over 100 artworks by these artists and the friends who influenced and supported them during this period, in which the power of the black community strengthened nationwide as racial discrimination began to lessen as a result of new legislation and changing social norms.

The artists included in Now Dig This! represent a vibrant group whose work is critical to a more complete and dynamic 116

Alina Szapocznikow: Sculpture Undone, 1955–1972 october 7, 2012–january 28, 2013 Special Exhibitions Gallery, third floor a sculptor who began working during the postwar period in a classical figurative style, Alina Szapocznikow radically reconceptualized sculpture as an imprint not only of memory but also of her own body. Though her career effectively spanned less than two decades (cut short by the artist’s premature death in 1973 at age 47), Szapocznikow left behind a legacy of provocative objects that evoke Surrealism, Nouveau Réalisme, and Pop art. Her tinted polyester casts of body parts, often transformed into everyday objects like lamps or ashtrays; her poured polyurethane forms; and her elaborately constructed sculptures, which at times incorporated photographs, clothing, or car parts, all remain as wonderfully idiosyncratic and culturally resonant today as when they were first made.Featuring over 100 works, including sculpture, drawings, and photography, the exhibition draws on loans from private and public collections, including major institutions in Poland. It is accompanied by a major publication, co-published by The Museum of Modern Art and Mercatorfonds, that reflects new scholarship on Szapocznikow, contextualizing this little known artist’s work for a wider audience.

Arts Council of The Museum of Modern Art.

The Museum of Modern Art in this dynamic city during these turbulent years, with the work of around 60 artists on view. Featuring nearly 300 works of various media—painting, sculpture, photography, drawings, and graphic design, as well as video and documentary film—the exhibition will offer a story of artistic crossings, collaborations, and, at times, conflicts, with the city as an incubator. It will introduce the myriad avant-garde experimentations that emerged as artists drew on the energy of this rapidly growing and changing metropolis.

Inventing Abstraction, 1910–1925 december 23, 2012–april 15, 2013 The Joan and Preston Robert Tisch Exhibition Gallery, sixth floor inventing abstraction, 1910–1925 celebrates the centennial of modernism’s first abstract pictures. This exhibition will explore the development of abstraction from the moment of its declaration around 1912 by pioneering figures such as Vasily Kandinsky, František Kupka, Robert Delaunay, and Sonia Delaunay-Terk through its establishment as the foundation of avant-garde practice in the mid-1920s. Inventing Abstraction will bring together many of the most influential works in abstraction’s early history, and will include a wide range of artistic production—paintings, drawings, printed matter, books, sculptures, spatial constructions, film, photography, sound recordings, and dance footage—to draw a cross-media portrait of this watershed moment in which traditional art was reinvented in a wholesale way.

Wolfgang Laib january–february 2013 The Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium, second floor in early 2013, Wolfgang Laib’s Pollen from Hazelnut will inhabit the Museum’s Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium, infusing 118

the space with a yellow luminosity. Laib perceives the Marron Atrium as the Museum’s inner sanctum, its womb, and has created this work especially for the site. It will be the artist’s largest pollen installation to date, measuring approximately 18 x 21 feet.

Since the mid-1970s, Laib (German, b. 1950) has been producing sculptures and installations marked by a serene presence and a reductive beauty. These works are often made from one or a combination of two materials accumulated from natural elements, which have been selected for their purity and symbolic meanings— such as milk, marble, pollen, rice, and beeswax. Forging a singular path for more than 30 years, Laib amplifies the intrinsic materiality, colors, and processes of nature.

Wait, Later This Will All Be Nothing: Dieter Roth Editions february 13–june 24, 2013 The Michael H. Dunn Gallery, second floor the artistic practice of Dieter Roth (Swiss, b. Germany, 1930– 1998) encompassed everything from painting and sculpture to film and video, but it is arguably through his editioned work—prints, books, and multiples—that he made his most radical contributions.

These experiments include the use of organic materials in lieu of traditional mediums, including book-sausages filled with ground paper in place of meat, and multiples of plastic toys mired in melted chocolate, as well as a dazzling array of variations on printed postcards.

Wait, Later This Will All Be Nothing: Dieter Roth Editions focuses on Roth’s incredibly innovative and prolific period from 1960 to 1975. The centerpiece of the exhibition will be an expanded presentation of Snow (1963–69), a work in MoMA’s collection. Showing many more pages of the book than have ever been exhibited, these pages contain a trove of insightful information about the artist’s creative process and plans for other works. A selection of handmade books, miniature volumes, and the newly acquired Literaturwurst (1961–69), considered Roth’s most radical experiment with the book format, will also be on view. www.guideforthearts.com

The exhibition includes over 200 works, from original drawings—many of them watercolors of haunting beauty and precision—to vintage and modern photographs, films, architectural models, and fragments. Labrouste made an invaluable impact on 19th century architecture in the exploration of new paradigms of space, materials, and luminosity in places of great public assembly. His two magisterial glass and iron reading rooms in Paris, the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève (1838–50) and the Bibliothèque nationale (1859­–75), gave form to the idea of the modern library as a temple of knowledge and as a space for contemplation. Labrouste also sought a redefinition of architecture by introducing new materials and new building technologies into the existing repertory. His spaces are at once overwhelming in the daring modernity of their exposed metal frameworks, lightweight walls, and brightness, and immersive in their timelessness.

Claes Oldenburg: The 60s april 14–august 5, 2013 The International Council of The Museum of Modern Art Exhibition Gallery, sixth floor, and The Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium in the early 1960s, Claes Oldenburg redefined the concept of sculpture. This exhibition offers the most comprehensive overview of Oldenburg’s early career to date, including The Store, the artist’s best-known body of work from this period. In December 1961,

The Museum of Modern Art

The Museum of Modern Art Oldenburg rented a small storefront on East Second Street in New York City and filled it with handmade, brightly painted sculptures that evoked the everyday commercial products sold in stores throughout the neighborhood. Oldenburg created several iterations of The Store in the years following, and for this exhibition a large selection of Store sculptures and drawings are brought together to demonstrate the breadth and complexity of Oldenburg’s vision as well as the daring inventiveness of his execution. Oldenburg’s rarely exhibited installation The Street is also on view. Predating The Store, this seminal body of work was inspired by the gritty environs of the Lower East Side in the late 1950s.

Le Corbusier: Landscapes for the Machine Age june 9–september 23, 2013 The Joan and Preston Robert Tisch Exhibition Gallery, sixth floor for the first time in its history, MoMA is presenting a major exhibition on the work of Le Corbusier (Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, 1887–1965), encompassing his work as architect, interior designer, artist, city planner, writer, and photographer. Conceived by guest curator Jean-Louis Cohen, the exhibition will reveal the ways in which Le Corbusier observed and imagined landscapes throughout his career, using all the artistic techniques at his disposal, from his early watercolors of Italy, Greece, and Turkey, to his sketches of India, and from the photographs of his formative journeys to the models of his large-scale projects. His paintings and drawings also incorporate many views of sites and cities. All of these dimensions will be present in what will be the largest exhibition ever produced in New York of his prodigious oeuvre.

ounded in 1842 by a group Music Director Alan of local musicians led by AmericanGilbert conducts the New York Philharmonic in born Ureli Corelli Hill, the New Avery Fisher Hall York Philharmonic is by far the oldest Photo Credit: Chris Lee symphony orchestra in the United States, and one of the oldest in the world. It currently plays some 180 concerts a year, and on May 5, 2010, gave its 15,000th concert—a milestone unmatched by any other symphony orchestra.

Since its inception the Orchestra has championed the new music of its time, commissioning or premiering many important works, such as Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, From the New World; Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3; Gershwin’s Concerto in F; and Copland’s Connotations, in addition to the U.S. premieres of works such as Beethoven’s Symphonies Nos. 8 and 9 and Brahms’s Symphony No. 4. This pioneering tradition has continued to the present day, with works of major contemporary composers regularly scheduled each season.

The Public Theater march 1–31, 2013 Written and directed by Guillermo Calderón Translation by Andrea Thome in a politically charged, haunting yet humorous meditation on theater and the revolutionary impulse, Chilean writer-director Guillermo Calderón’s Neva tells the story of Anton Chekhov’s widow, the actress Olga Knipper, who arrives in a dimly lit rehearsal room in St. Petersburg in the winter of 1905. As Olga and two other actors await the rest of the Miguel Cervantes cast, they huddle together, act out Photo Credit: Karen Almond scenes from their lives, and muse on their art form and love—while, unseen, striking workers are being gunned down in the streets by the Tsarist regime. Calderón savagely examines the relationship between theater and historical context in this ominous and tightly crafted work that allows a palpable terror to creep through the theater walls. Calderón’s Diciembre was a hit at the Under Radar Festival in 2011.

It culminates with new paintings spanning more than 50 feet in length, which the artist is making specifically for the Whitney’s Marcel Breuer building—a fitting venue given Guyton’s longstanding engagement with the architect’s work. This will be Guyton’s first prominent solo museum exhibition in the United States, and the accompanying catalogue, distributed by Yale University Press, will be his first comprehensive scholarly monograph.

The Whitney Museum of American Art association with the Yale University Art Gallery (YUAG), debuts at the Whitney in October 2012 before traveling to the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles in June 2013. The exhibition is curated

by Jennifer Gross, Seymour H. Knox, Jr. Curator, Modern and Contemporary Art at Yale University Art Gallery in association with the Whitney’s Alice Pratt Brown Director, Adam D. Weinberg. Approximately 150 works will survey Artschwager’s remarkable exploration of the mediums of sculpture, painting, and drawing, bringing to light the extraordinary breadth of subject matter and form in his practice. The selection will highlight the extensive study of material, shape, and style in Artschwager’s work, while revealing how the artist’s unrelenting investigation of art objects and images has been informed by the equalizing lens of photographic reproduction in the 20th century. This will Sitting and Not, 1992. be the first retrospective exhibition of Collection of Harriet and Artschwager’s work since one organized Larry Weiss at the Whitney in 1988 and will introduce Photo by Adam Reich Artschwager to a new generation.

Sinister Pop november 15, 2012–march 2013 sinister pop is an inventive new take on the Museum’s rich and diverse holdings of Pop art from the movement’s inception in the early 1960s through its aftershocks a decade later. Although Pop art often calls to mind a celebration of postwar consumer culture, this exhibition focuses on Pop’s darker side, its distortion and critique of the American dream. Among the more than 50 featured artists are Jasper Johns, Marisol, Claes Oldenburg, Ed Ruscha, Andy

The Whitney Museum of American Art Warhol, May Stevens, Jim Dine, Rosalyn Drexler, Mel Ramos, Allan D’Arcangelo, John Wesley, James Rosenquist, William Eggleston, Peter Saul, and Jim Nutt. As this partial list makes clear, the exhibition includes works from a broad variety of mediums and artists, some of whom may not traditionally be associated with Pop, but whose work may be understood within its wider field of reference. Co-curated by Donna De Salvo and Scott Rothkopf, Sinister Pop is the fourth in a multiyear series of six exhibitions aimed at reassessing the Museum’s collection in anticipation of our move downtown. Unfolding in chronological order, these exhibitions explore important developments in American art and reconsider iconic figures and masterworks within new frameworks and contexts. The first three installments were Breaking Ground: The Whitney’s Founding Collection, Real/Surreal, and Signs & Symbols.

Blues for Smoke february–april 2013 blues for smoke is a large-scale thematic exhibition exploring ideas and forms of the Blues in contemporary art. Including works in a variety of media by approximately 50 artists from the 1960s to the present, the exhibition seeks to understand the Blues as a visual and conceptual, rather than simply musical, idiom that has informed multiple generations of artists, and argues for the centrality of a Black cultural aesthetic to the narratives of modern and postmodern art. The exhibition does not attempt to tell a single, unifying art history, but instead celebrates the breadth and influence of the Blues. It will be accompanied by a variety of public programs, including concerts, performances, and a film series, as well as a fully illustrated exhibition catalogue. The exhibition debuts at MOCA in Los Angeles and is curated by MOCA curator Bennett Simpson.

Jay DeFeo: A Retrospective february 28–june 2, 2013 this retrospective is the definitive exhibition to date of the work of Jay DeFeo (1929–1989), one of the most important and innovative artists of her generation, but one who has still not been given her due. At the outset of her career in the 1950s, DeFeo was

The Whitney Museum of American Art at the epicenter of the vibrant Beat community of San Francisco Bay Area artists, poets, and musicians. Although best known for The Rose (1958–1966), an almost two-thousand-pound visionary masterpiece that languished behind a wall for 20 years, DeFeo created an astoundingly diverse range of works. Her unconventional approach to materials and intensive, physical process make DeFeo a unique figure in postwar American art. With more than 150 works, including collages, drawings, paintings, photographs, small sculptures, and jewelry, the exhibition, organized by curator Dana Miller, provides the first in-depth assessment of her work for a national audience, tracing DeFeo’s visual concerns and motifs across more than four decades of art-making. A major monograph published by the Whitney and distributed by Yale University Press accompanies the exhibition, which opens in November 2012 at SFMoMA before traveling to the Whitney, where it will be seen in an expanded version.

Singular Visions on continious view a fresh fifth-floor installation of selected highlights from the Whitney’s renowned collection, Singular Visions is the first in a new series of collection installations that explore the Whitney’s holdings in inventive ways. The exhibition is curated by Dana Miller and Scott Rothkopf.
