The Seattle Art Museum presents "John Akomfrah: Future History," the museum’s first special exhibition exclusively dedicated to the medium of video art.
Life Cut Short: Hamilton’s Hair and the Art of Mourning Jewelry is a compact exhibition that explores how this now obscure practice was part of a larger culture of mourning in New York City and beyond.
For the first time in over 23 years, a new exhibition is showcasing over 40 works by a forgotten American modernist. Now premiering at the Phoenix Art Museum, Agnes Pelton: Desert Transcendentalist is the largest survey to date of works by the relatively unknown painter who was once a contemporary of Georgia O'Keeffe.
Cézanne: The Rock and Quarry Paintings is the first exhibition to examine essential but underestimated aspects of the revolutionary French painter’s work: his profound interest in rocks and geological formations, and his use of such structures to shape the compositions of his canvases.
Cecile was known for her glamorous style and love of extraordinary jewelry.

From the plastic flute of sparkling wine guests are offered as soon as they enter the fair, to the bubbly energy coming from viewers and the club music pumping from some of the booths, you know you are not at Independent any longer. 

Together with ever-exciting and stimulating artworks, the “who’s who” of the art world were on view at the VIP preview of the most cherished and revered of New York art fairs, Independent.
SPRING/BREAK is the youngest, funnest, more affordable and most claustrophobic of the Armory Week fairs.

On a sunny spring-like day, amid growing concerns over the spread of COVID-19 and resulting omnipresence of hand sanitizer pump bottles, The Armory Show successfully kicked off The Armory Week, the annual cluster of New York art fairs running from March 4–9. Known to many as the “essential New York art fair,” The Armory Show returns to Manhattan’s Piers 90 and 94 on March 5, featuring 183 galleries from 32 countries as well as 33 first-time exhibitors.

Combining elements of photography, sculpture, frottage, ink, and graphite drawings, Nate Lewis’ intricately carved works on paper reflect his experience as a critical-care nurse and challenge perspectives on race and history.
