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.

as the lights dim and Tchaikovsky’s beautiful score fills the air, your entire family will join young Clara for a dreamlike journey amid larger-than-life scenery, magical toy soldiers, mischievous mice, sparkling snowflakes, and a glittering Christmas tree!

Featuring an impressive cast of over 100 performers, sets, and costumes by Richard Hudson (Tony Award®-winner for The Lion King) and choreography by ABT’s Artist in Residence Alexei Ratmansky, The Nutcracker is bound to be a treasured memory for years to come. It is no wonder The New York Times praised, “American Ballet Theatre has a production like no other, made with complete theatrical authority from first to last. The poetry of Alexei Ratmansky’s vision is very striking. I’m impatient to see it again.”

What Rhymes With AmericaLinda Gross TheaterWorld Premierenovember 20–december 30, 2012opens december 12, 2012By Melissa James GibsonDirected 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 ExileLinda Gross TheaterWorld Premiere february 6–march 17, 2013opens february 27, 2013By John GuareDirected 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.




The JammerAtlantic Stage 2New York Premiere january 9–february 10, 2013opens january 22, 2013By 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

Beauty shots of Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage

Hall has been the place where distinctive artists of all stripes

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.

The frick collection is one of New York City’s most beloved 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.

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.

http://collections.frick.org/IT_44



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 both his photographic archive (which served as one of the primary models for the Frick’s Art Reference Library) and approximately 3,000 Old Master

drawings from his private collection. Within a larger gift, Count Antoine Seilern (1901–1978) left 350 exquisite drawings to the institution, another important addition.

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 timing feels particularly fortunate, as we’ve spent the last year focusing on artists—Renoir and Picasso—active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and somewhat

Precision and Splendor: Clocks and Watches at The Frick Collection january 23 throughjuly 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 dating from the Renaissance to the early 19th century covers the art of horology in France, Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. For reasons of space, only part of the collection 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,

and Abraham-Louis and Antoine-Louis Breguet. Also included in this presentation are three spectacular clocks on loan from Horace (Woody) Brock. Never before seen in New York City, they reflect the precision and splendor of the art of clockmaking in 18th century France.

The Impressionist Line From Degas to Toulouse-Lautrec: Drawings and Prints From The Clark march 12 throughjune 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. Bailey, Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator and Susan Grace Galassi, Senior Curator, at the Frick, and Jay A. Clarke, Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs at the Clark. 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.

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, Pierre-Auguste 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 post-Impressionist 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 Toulouse-Lautrec 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. A smaller selection of ten masterpieces will be on view at The Frick Collection in New York


from October 22, 2013, through January 21, 2014. Among the works going on tour are the famous Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer and The Goldfinch by Carel Fabritius, neither of which will have been seen by American audiences in ten years.

Housed in a magnificent 17th century city palace, the museum is celebrated for its masterpieces from the Dutch and Flemish Golden Age, including paintings by Vermeer, Rembrandt, Steen, Hals, and Rubens. The works on permanent display provide a magnificent panorama of Dutch and Flemish art of the 15th to

17th centuries; from Flemish primitives to sunlit landscapes, from biblical characters to meticulous still lifes, and from calm interiors to humorous genre scenes. 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 ten paintings coming to the Frick, all highlights of the Mauritshuis collection, represent the range of subject matter and technique prevalent in 17th century painting in The Netherlands. They are Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, c. 1665; Rembrandt van Rijn’s Simeon’s Song of Praise, 1631, and his Portrait of an Elderly Man, 1667; Frans Hals’s pendant portraits of Jacob Olycan (1596–1638) and Aletta Hanemans (1606–1653), both painted in 1625; Carel Fabritius’s The Goldfinch, 1654; Gerard ter Borch’s Woman Writing a Letter, c. 1655; Jan Steen’s Girl Eating Oysters, c. 1658–60, and “The Way you Hear It, Is the Way You Sing It,” c. 1665; and Jacob van Ruisdael’s View of Haarlem with Bleaching Grounds, c. 1670–75.

White Gold: Highlights From The ArnholdCollection 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.

throughout Pablo Picasso’s career. Surveying his oeuvre from 1904 to 1971, Picasso Black and White examines the artist’s lifelong exploration of a black-and-white palette through approximately 115 paintings and a selection of sculptures and works on paper. The exhibition thematically traces the artist’s unique vision throughout his work, including early monochromatic blue and rose paintings, gray-toned Cubist canvases, elegant and austere neoclassical portraits and nudes, Surrealist-inspired figures, forceful and somber scenes depicting the atrocities of war, allegorical still lifes, vivid interpretations of art-historical masterpieces, and the electric, highly sexualized canvases of Picasso’s last years. The exhibition includes significant loans drawn from private

collections, including many from the Picasso family; from museums across Europe and the United States; and from numerous public and private European and American collections, many of which have not been exhibited or published before. The exhibition is organized by Carmen Giménez, Stephen and Nan Swid Curator of Twentieth-Century Art, with assistance from Karole Vail, Associate Curator, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Picasso Black and White is sponsored by Bank of America. Major support is provided by the Picasso Black and White Leadership Committee, with Christina and Robert C.

The Deutsche Bank Series at the Guggenheim: Gabriel Orozco: Asterismsnovember 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 Spector, Deputy Director and Chief Curator, Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, and Joan Young, Director, Curatorial Affairs, Solomon R.

Zarina: Paper Like Skinjanuary 25–april 21, 2013

the exhibition Zarina: Paper Like Skin, organized by Allegra Pesenti, Curator, Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, travels to the Guggenheim Museum as part of its international tour. 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 Playgroundfebruary 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 avant-garde 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. Gutai: Splendid Playground is organized by Ming Tiampo, Associate Professor of Art History, Carleton University, Ottawa,

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 EarlyCollages (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,

in June 2013, and travel to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, in September 2013. This exhibition is curated by Susan Davidson, Senior Curator, Collections and Exhibitions.

Christopher Wooloctober 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

complete abstraction and published his aesthetic treatise, On the Spiritual in Art (1911, though dated 1912). Also featured are paintings by Robert Delaunay and Franz Marc that were exhibited alongside the work of Kandinsky and others in the landmark 1912 Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) exhibition held at the Moderne Galerie Heinrich Thannhauser, Munich. The exhibition is organized by Tracey Bashkoff, Curator, Collections and Exhibitions, and Megan Fontanella, Assistant Curator, Collections and Provenance, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

A Long-Awaited Tribute: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian House and Pavilionjuly 27, 2012–february 13, 2013

on october 22, 1953, the exhibition Sixty Years of Living Architecture: The Work of Frank Lloyd Wright opened in New York on the site where the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum would be

built. 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-square-foot, 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. This exhibition is organized by Francine Snyder, Director of Library and Archives, Solomon R. 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 works Le Moulin de la Galette (autumn 1900) and Woman Ironing (La Repasseuse, spring 1904).

Designing Nature: The Rinpa Aesthetic in Japanese Artmay 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 20thcenturies. 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. Accompanied by a catalogue.

Chinese Gardens: Palace Pavilions, Scholars’ Studios, Rustic Retreats august 18, 2012–january 6, 2013




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. Accompanied by a catalogue. Press Preview: Monday, September 10, 10:00 a.m.–noon.

Bernini: Sculpting in Clay october 3, 2012–january 6, 2013

to visualize life-size or colossal marbles, the great Roman Baroque sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598–1680) began by making small, spirited clay models. 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. This exhibition assembles for the first time some 50 of these bozzetti and modelli as well as 30 chalk or pen



sketches alongside several bronze and marble statues. Through connoisseurship and a comprehensive campaign of scientific examination, the selection of models addresses the issue of what separates the hand of the master from the production of his large workshop. The exhibition and catalogue are made possible by the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Foundation. The exhibition was organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth. Accompanied by a catalogue. Press preview: Monday, October 1, 2012, 10:00 a.m.–noon.

Bashford Dean and the Creation of the Arms and Armor Department october 2, 2012 –september 29, 2013

to mark the centennial of the Arms and Armor Department, this exhibition will survey the career of Dr. Bashford Dean (1867–1928), the department’s founding curator. A zoologist by training, Dean was for a time simultaneously a full professor at Columbia University, Curator of Fossil Fishes at the American Museum of Natural History, and Curator of Arms and Armor at the Metropolitan Museum. At the Met, he worked initially as a guest curator in 1904, when he was invited to install and catalogue the Museum’s first significant acquisitions of arms and armor. He continued on as honorary curator until joining the staff full-time in 1912 as head of the newly created Arms and Armor Department, rapidly building the collection into one of international importance. In the process he fostered an influential group of private collectors, established American scholarship on the subject, and laid the foundations for the growth of the collection as it exists today. Accompanied by a Bulletin. Press preview: Monday, October 1, 2012, 10:00 a.m.–noon.

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. Accompanied by a catalogue. Press Preview: Tuesday, October 9, 10:00 a.m.–noon.

Extravagant Inventions: The PrincelyFurniture 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. The most complicated mechanical devices will be illustrated through virtual animations. Working drawings, portraits of the cabinetmakers, their family, and important patrons, as well as a series of documents owned by the Metropolitan Museum and



originating from the Roentgen estate, will underline the long-overlooked significance and legacy of the Roentgens as Europe’s principal cabinetmakers of the ancien régime. The exhibition and catalogue are made possible by the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation Accompanied by a catalogue. Press preview: Monday, October 29, 2012, 10:00 a.m.–noon.

George Bellows november 15, 2012–february 18, 2013

highlighting bellows’ achievements in all media, the exhibition will include approximately 80 paintings, 30 drawings, and 25 lithographs. Although the entire span of his career will be covered, the emphasis—at least with the oils—will be on the period from 1907 to 1915, when he painted many of his masterpieces. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in association with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Royal Academy of Arts, London. Accompanied by a catalogue. Press preview: Tuesday, November 13, 10:00 a.m.–noon.

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. Featuring loans from public and private collections as well as works



from the Met’s collection, the exhibition will include some 40 wood sculptures from West and Central Africa that will be presented alongside photographs, sculptures, and drawings by Stieglitz, Picasso, Picabia, and Brancusi.

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: light-filled 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-and-white 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 exhibition was organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art,



New York, in collaboration with the National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris. Accompanied by a catalogue. Press Preview: Monday, November 26, 10:00 a.m.–noon.

New American Wing Galleries for Paintings, Sculpture, and Decorative Arts opened january 16, 2012

this third and final phase of the American Wing renovation project comprises 26 renovated and enlarged galleries for the Museum’s collection of American art, one of the finest and most comprehensive in the world. 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, touch-screen 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.

New Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia opened november 1, 2011



more than 1,000 works from the preeminent collection of the Museum’s Department of Islamic Art—one of the most comprehensive gatherings of this material in the world—are on view in a completely renovated, expanded, and reinstalled suite of 15 galleries. 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.

Renovation of the Late Gothic Hall, The Cloisters opened december 8, 2009

the late gothic Hall at The Cloisters museum and gardens reopened following an extensive renovation. The four large, 15th century, French limestone windows from the Dominican monastery in Sens, Burgundy, were conserved, and new leaded glass was installed on the interior with protective glazing on the exterior. The new installation features a monumental tapestry from Burgos Cathedral representing the Salvation of Man, which returned to public view for the first time in a generation following a thorough campaign of conservation. The Late Gothic Hall, distinguished by


its high timber ceiling, also exhibits many of the finest 15th-century works in The Cloisters’ collection, including sculptures by Tilman Riemenschneider and richly painted and gilded altarpieces from Spain. The renovation was funded by The Alice Tully Foundation.

new and continuing installations

Buddhism along the Silk Road: 5th–8th Century june 2–december 9, 2012

drawing together objects from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the western reaches of Central Asia—regions connected in the sixth century A.D. through trade, military conquest, and the diffusion of Buddhism— the exhibition illuminates a remarkable moment of artistic exchange. 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. The exhibition explores the diverse subjects and styles of Qing dynasty (1644–1911) decorative arts, illustrating those artists’ extraordinary imagination and technical virtuosity.



After Photoshop september 25, 2012–may 27, 2013

this installation will explore various ways in which artists, including Nancy Burson, Andreas Gursky, Jason Salavon, Kota Ezawa, and others—have used digital technology to alter the photographic image over the past 20 years. Featuring approximately 25 works drawn from the Museum’s collection, as well as loans from local collections, it will serve as an addendum to the exhibition Faking It: Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop.

Our challenge was to bridge diametrically opposed lifestyles and visions: urban professional and pop artist, conservative and quirky, stoic and colorful, timeless design and pop culture - a private woodland retreat to entertain a large contemporary crowd.”

Max Brand: no solid footing –(trained) duck fighting a crowongoing

max brand (german, b. 1982) paints with a wide variety of media including sidewalk chalk, crayon, pencil, marker, spray paint, ballpoint pen, chlorine bleach, and oil and acrylic paints. 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: Material, Process, FormongoingThe Philip Johnson Architecture and Design Galleries, third floor

“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. Plywood: Material, Process, Form, and installation in MoMA’s Philip Johnson Architecture and Design Galleries, features examples from MoMA’s

Contemporary Galleries: 1980–NowongoingContemporary Galleries, second floor

reinstalled to continue the historical sequence found on MoMA’s fifth (1880–1940) and fourth (1940–1980) floors, the galleries on the second floor will begin with art of the early 1980s and extend to the present moment, interweaving works in all mediums. 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.

Born out of Necessitymarch 2, 2012–january 28, 2013Architecture and Design Galleries, third floor

born out of necessity showcases objects from MoMA’s collection that can be read according this traditional view of design and yet can veer dramatically from its visual and functional catalogue. The exhibition focuses on issues chosen by or assigned to a designer—some being real and urgent needs while others responding to foreseen or imagined needs—to describe possible future scenarios. Some examples include designs for emergencies at home

or at sea; equipment for medical intervention and natural disaster prevention; objects celebrating everyday staples of problem-solving, such as band-aids and earplugs; and designs describing a future issue, such as a redesign of our gastro-intestinal system as a inventive solution for a potential food shortage. These objects, which respond to pressing needs in developing countries to offering new solutions that are tailored to the western urban environment, address the problems of a few but eventually turn into products that improve everybody’s lives, becoming a solution for all.

The Shaping of New Visions: Photography, Film, Photobookapril 18, 2012–april 29, 2013The 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 Bourgeoisjune 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

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 Brothersaugust 9, 2012–january 7, 2013MoMAFilm: 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 Drawingsaugust 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).

http://press.moma.org/2012/07/eyes-closedeyes-open-recent-acquisitions-in-drawings/



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 Puppetsaugust 12, 2012–january 7, 2013The 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

http://press.moma.org/2011/10/quay-brothers/

http://press.moma.org/2011/10/quay-brothers/



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.

New Photography 2012: Michele Abeles, Birdhead, Anne Collier, Zoe Crosher, Shirana Shahbazioctober 3, 2012–february 4, 2013The Robert and Joyce Menschel Photography Gallery, third floor

new photography 2012 presents five artists—Michele Abeles, Birdhead (Ji Weiyu and Song Tao), Anne Collier, Zoe Crosher, Shirana Shahbazi —whose varied techniques and backgrounds represent the diversity and vitality of photography today. 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. Shanghai-based photographic duo Birdhead (Ji Weiyu, Chinese, b. 1980 and Song Tao, Chinese, b. 1979) capture the lived reality of their community against the

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 1960–1980october 2012–february 2013MoMA 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

http://press.moma.org/2012/03/now-dig-this-art-and-black-los-angeles-1960-1980/



understanding of 20th century American art. Several prominent black artists began their careers in the Los Angeles area, including Melvin Edwards, David Hammons, Maren Hassinger, Senga Nengudi, John Outterbridge, Noah Purifoy, and Betye Saar.

Alina Szapocznikow: Sculpture Undone, 1955–1972october 7, 2012–january 28, 2013Special 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.

Tokyo 1955–1970: A New Avant-Gardenovember 18, 2012–february 25, 2013The International Council of The Museum of Modern Art Exhibition Gallery, sixth floor

from the mid-1950s through the 1960s, Tokyo transformed itself from the capital of a war-torn nation into an international center for arts, culture, and commerce, becoming home to some of the most important art being made at the time. Tokyo 1955–1970: A New Avant-Garde provides a focused look at the extraordinary concentration and network of creative individuals and practices

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, 1910–1925december 23, 2012–april 15, 2013The 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.

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 Editionsfebruary 13–june 24, 2013The 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.

Henri Labrouste: Structure Brought to Lightmarch 10–june 24, 2013Special Exhibitions Gallery,third floor

henri labrouste: Structure Brought to Light will be the first solo exhibition of Labrouste’s work in the United States and will highlight his work as a milestone in the modern evolution of architecture. 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 60sapril 14–august 5, 2013The International Council of The Museum of Modern Art Exhibition Gallery, sixth floor, and The Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium

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 Agejune 9–september 23, 2013The 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.

Founded in 1842 by a group of local musicians led by American-born Ureli Corelli Hill, the New

York Philharmonic is by far the oldest 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.

Giant New York PremiereNewman Theateroctober 26–december 2, 2012 Book by Sybille PearsonMusic and lyrics by Michael John lachiusaBased on the novel by Edna FerberDirected by Michael Greif Choreography by Alex Sanchez

based on the classic novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edna Ferber, Giant spans generations in an epic chronicle of Texas, our “Heartbreak Country.” Amid a tumultuous culture of big-business greed, racial bigotry, and unyielding family allegiance, a cattleman and ranch heir, his East Coast sophisticate wife, their family and friends—as well as their enemies—embrace and confront the joys and sorrows that loom as large as the landscape of America’s Lone Star State. Giant is a co-production with Dallas Theater Center.

The twenty-seventh manWorld premiereMartinson theaternovember 7–december 9, 2012By Nathan Englander Directed by Barry Edelstein

best-selling author Nathan Englander (What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank) adapts this warm and deeply moving new play from his acclaimed short story of the same name. Set in a Soviet prison in 1952, Stalin’s secret police have rounded up twenty-six writers, the giants of Yiddish literature in Russia. As judgment looms, a twenty-seventh suddenly appears: Pinchas Pelovits, unpublished and unknown. Baffled by his arrest, he and his cellmates wrestle with the mysteries of party loyalty and politics, culture and identity, and with what it means to write in troubled times. When they discover why the twenty-seventh man is among them, the writers come to realize that even in the face of tyranny, stories still have the power to transcend.

Detroit ’67 World PremiereShiva Theaterfebruary 26–march 17, 2013By Dominique MorisseauDirected by Kwame Kwei-Armah

it’s 1967 in Detroit, and Motown music gets the party started. Chelle and her brother Lank transform their basement into an after-hours joint to make ends meet. But when a mysterious woman winds her way into their lives, the siblings clash over much more than family business. As their pent-up feelings erupt, so does their city, and the flames of the ’67 Detroit riots engulf them all. Detroit ’67 is presented in association with the Classical Theatre of Harlem.

The Public Theater

march 1–31, 2013Written 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 cast, they huddle together, act out 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.

Here lies loveWorld premiereLuesther theaterapril 2–may 5, 2013Written by David Byrne Music by David Byrne and Fatboy SlimDirected by Alex Timbers Choreography by Annie-b Parson

within a throbbing dance club environment, David Byrne and Fatboy Slim deconstruct the astonishing journey of Filipina First Lady Imelda Marcos and her meteoric rise and subsequent descent into infamy. This wholly immersive spectacle combines disco beats, adrenaline-fueled choreography, and a remarkable 360-degree


scenic and video environment—to go beyond Imelda’s near-mythic obsession with shoes and explore true questions of power and responsibility.

Directed by two-time Obie Award-winner Alex Timbers (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, Peter and the Starcatcher), Here Lies Love is a unique theatrical experience that raises the pulses and quickens the blood—all filtered through the remarkable vision of David Byrne, one of the great American artists of the last half century.

Old-Fashioned Prostitutes (A True Romance)World PremiereMartinson Theaterapril 30–june 2, 2013Written, directed, and designed by Richard Foreman

snapshots from an enigmatic fairy-tale in which Suzie, the elusive coquette, brings Samuel to his knees—from where he worships a life he only half understands. Old-Fashioned Prostitutes (A True Romance) is an expressionistic chamber-play that twists emotional heartache into a landscape of continual mental invention, marking the return to theater of a celebrated artist whom The New York Times has dubbed “the Godfather of the American avant-garde.” It is presented in association with Ontological-Hysteric Theater.

Founded in 1965, roundabout Theatre Company has grown from a small 150-seat theatre

in a converted supermarket basement to become the nation’s most influential not-for-profit theatre company, as well as one of New York City’s leading cultural institutions. With five stages on and off Broadway, Roundabout now reaches over 700,000 theatergoers, students, educators, and artists across the country and around the world every year.

Advancing the theatrical art form and sharing it with the broadest possible audience at an affordable price has always been intrinsic to our mission. In 1991, Roundabout became the second not-for-profit theatre to produce on Broadway. Subsequently, Roundabout expanded its mission to producing a classic musical from the American repertoire each year.

Roundabout has always been a leading producer of classic work, reviving plays and musicals that are often neglected by commercial producers. As our mission evolved, however, we focused our responsibilities to become a leader in producing the work of living playwrights and developing the classics of tomorrow.

If There Is I Haven’t Found It YetLaura Pels Theatre in The Harold & Miriam Steinberg Centerfor Theatreseptember 20–november 25, 2012

fifteen-year-old anna’s weight makes her a target for bullies. When her mom Fiona (Michelle Gomez) transfers Anna (Annie Funke) to the school where she teaches in order to protect her daughter, it only makes things worse. If There Is I Haven’t Found It Yet is an entertaining look at a regular family stuck somewhere between knowing what the problem is ... and doing something about it. This insightful new play by Nick Payne features Tony Award–winning, Emmy-nominated actor Brían F. O’Byrne and Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal in his American stage debut.

Anna’s environmentalist dad (O’Byrne), determined to finish his new book and save the planet, is no help at all. Just as Anna gets suspended for retaliating with a head-butt, her estranged uncle Terry (Gyllenhaal) arrives unannounced. A heartbroken drifter with the mouth of a sailor, Terry reaches out to Anna in a way that no one ever has. Their unexpected friendship sends her parents’ rocky marriage into a tailspin as the whole family wonders, what—or who—really needs saving?

Also starring Clémence Poésy (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) and Patrick Page (A Man for All Seasons).

Cyrano is a nobleman with a tremendous wit and an enormous nose. All of Paris adores him except for his true love Roxane, who can’t see past his all-too-prominent facial feature. Instead, she falls for a handsome young cadet named Christian. But when Christian admits he’s tongue-tied with Roxane, Cyrano gives him the romantic



words guaranteed to win her heart. With Christian’s looks and Cyrano’s language, it’s a foolproof plan! Or is it?

An enduring masterwork with some of the most ingenious lines ever written for the stage, Cyrano de Bergerac is a clever and touching story about the power of love, the art of wordplay, and the joy of finding what you’ve always wanted right under your nose.

After a lifetime of believing they’ll never truly belong in the world around them, Matt has worked up the courage to ask Sally for her hand and convince her that they do belong—together.

In the golden age of Hollywood cinema, actors may have all the glory, but studio execs have all the power. The Hoff-Federated studio

When a woman with insider knowledge threatens to come forward, the studio heads will stop at nothing to protect Charlie’s secret ... but how far is he willing to go before he quits the movie business for good?

Set in a glossy world of rumor mills and rocky friendships, The Big Knife is a riveting, bitingly funny look at how challenging it can be to stay true to yourself—when everyone expects you to play a part.

The whitney museum of American Art is the world’s leading museum of 20th

century and contemporary art of the United States. Focusing particularly on works by living artists, the Whitney is celebrated for presenting important exhibitions and for its renowned collection, which comprises over 19,000 works by more than 2,900 artists. With a history of exhibiting the most promising and influential artists and provoking intense debate, the Whitney Biennial, the Museum’s signature exhibition, has become the most important survey of the state of contemporary art in the United States. In addition to its landmark exhibitions, the Museum is known internationally for events and educational programs of exceptional significance and as a center for research, scholarship, and conservation.

Founded by sculptor and arts patron Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in 1930, the Whitney was first housed on West 8th Street in Greenwich Village. The Museum relocated in 1954 to West 54th Street and, in 1966, inaugurated its present home, designed by Marcel Breuer, at 945 Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side. While its vibrant program of exhibitions and events continues uptown, the Whitney is moving forward with a new building project, designed by Renzo Piano, in downtown Manhattan. Located at the corner of Gansevoort and Washington Streets in the

Meatpacking District, at the southern entrance to the High Line, the new building, which has generated immense momentum and support, will enable the Whitney to vastly increase the size and scope of its exhibition and programming space. Ground was broken on the new building in May 2011, and it is projected to open to the public in 2015.

Wade Guyton october 4, 2012 –january 2013

in the fall of 2012, the Whitney presents the first mid-career survey devoted to the work of New York-based artist Wade Guyton

(b. 1972), who over the past decade has emerged as one of the most innovative and influential artists of his generation.

Guyton’s work makes use of common technologies such as the desktop computer, scanner, and inkjet printer, to reinvent abstraction in the 21st century, while also questioning the ways in which images function and circulate today. Organized by curator Scott Rothkopf in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition will feature drawings, prints, paintings, sculptures, and installations made between 2003 and 2012. 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.

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 be the first retrospective exhibition of Artschwager’s work since one organized at the Whitney in 1988 and will introduce 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

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



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.
