- Constantin Brancusi at MOMAConstantin Brancusi at MOMATime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Constantin Brancusi carved his work directly from wood or stone, or cast it in bronze. Simultaneously, he rejected realism, preferring that his sculptures evoke rather than resemble the subjects named in their titles. Brancusi made bases for many of his sculptures, themselves complex constructions that became part of the work. The exhibit runs from July 22 through February 18, 2018 at MOMA.
- The Face Of Dynasty: Royal Crests From Western CameroonThe Face Of Dynasty: Royal Crests From Western CameroonTime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
The Face Of Dynasty: Royal Crests From Western Cameroon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (through Sept. 3). In the African wing, a show of just four commanding wooden crowns constitutes a blockbuster in its own right. These massive wooden crests — in the form of stylized human faces with vast vertical brows — served as markers of royal power among the Bamileke peoples of the Cameroonian grasslands, and the Met’s recent acquisition of an 18th-century specimen is joined here by three later examples, each featuring sharply protruding cheeks, broadly smiling mouths and brows incised with involute geometric patterns. Ritual objects like these were decisive for the development of Western modernist painting, and a Cameroonian crest was even shown at MoMA in the 1930s, as a “sculpture” divorced from ethnography. But these crests had legal and diplomatic significance as well as aesthetic appeal, and their anonymous African creators had a political understanding of art not so far from our own.
- Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966) at the Solomon R. GuggenhiemAlberto Giacometti (1901–1966) at the Solomon R. GuggenhiemTime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966) at the Solomon R. Guggenhiem Museum thru September 12, 2018, a preeminent artist of the twentieth century who investigated the human figure for more than forty years. This comprehensive exhibition, a collaboration with the Fondation Giacometti in Paris, examines anew the artist’s practice and his unmistakable aesthetic vocabulary. Featuring important works in bronze and in oil, as well as plaster sculptures and drawings never before seen in this country, the exhibition aims to provide a deeper understanding of this artist, whose intensive focus on the human condition continues to provoke and inspire new generations.
- Firelei Báez: Joy Out of Fire at the Studio Museum HarlemFirelei Báez: Joy Out of Fire at the Studio Museum HarlemTime: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Firelei Báez continues the artist’s longstanding interest in representations of women, particularly Afro-Caribbean/Afro-Latina women in visual culture and history. In this exhibition, Báez features women whose legacies are preserved and maintained by the archives of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, reimagining them in conversation through imaginative portraits that incorporate materials such as reproductions of archival photographs, notes, diaries, letters, and manuscripts.
