Louise Lawler
Lights off, After Hours, In the Dark now on view @metro_pictures

The exhibition features a new series of works by Louise Lawler in which she has photographed the 2020 Judd exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
These photographs were taken over two evenings after the museum was closed to the public and relied on long exposures and ambient light emanating from exit signs, skylights, and hallways.

Since the 1970s, Lawler has photographed artworks in museums, galleries, art fairs, auction houses, storage, and homes, highlighting the lives of these objects and the contexts in which they are seen.

Be Your Wonderful Self: The Portraits of Beauford Delaney @michaelrosenfeldgallery
On view: September 8 - November 13,

Third solo exhibition of paintings by Beauford Delaney (American, 1901–1979) opens tomorrow.
The exhibition contextualizes the artist’s highly personal portraiture practice in relation to his compelling body of non-objective abstractions.

Featuring 25 portraits and 7 abstract works, Be Your Wonderful Self: The Portraits of Beauford Delaney explores the preeminent status portraiture held in the artist’s life and work, following the trajectory of his career from his “Greene Street” period in New York through his ardent embrace of pure abstraction after his relocation to Paris in 1953. By exhibiting Delaney’s portraiture alongside his abstractions, the exhibition seeks to reveal the common intention with which the artist approached both genres of painting, which came to dominate his artistic output for the remainder of his working years.

Four new sculptures by Carol Bove are currently featured at the Met 5th avenue façade. Titled The séances aren't helping, the series of four monumental metal sculptures are set between doric columns in front of four monumental niches. Tasked with making sculptures for the classically inspired façade, Bove sought to reflect how the contemporary art world has moved beyond some classical ideals, while recognizing their enduring impact. The monumental metal sculptures fit uncomfortably in their allotted spaces, jutting out beyond the façade itself. #CarolBove

Nicole Eisenman’s new exhibition
“Maquette and Paper Pulp Works” can be viewed @antonkerngallery - don’t miss!

Inspired by the fountain yet distinctly different, “Maquette” consists of four bronze bathers in varying positions of repose extending a classical theme to an acutely urgent sense of contemporaneity.

The presentation of Eisenman’s paper pulp works is a follow-up to last year Incelesbian exhibition. They combine technical intricacy and sophistication with the instant legibility and punch of the language of posters.

Paolo Arao’s new exhibition “Drawdown “
is on view @morganlehmangallery

The body of work presented in “Drawdown” occupies this latter space, but also reaches back to the artist’s foundations in drawing, a turn that was inspired by his current solo exhibition at the Columbus Museum in Georgia, where Arao was commissioned to curate drawings from the Museum’s permanent collection to be installed in dialogue with his own works.
