We present to you our homage to the arrival of spring: Hyperallergic’s eagerly anticipated compilation of over 70 exhibitions to experience this season, whenever it decides to grace us. This year, we’ve categorized our guide to better align with your current interests. Among the highlights are shows that have captured significant attention, featuring iconic figures such as Duchamp, Raphael (remarkably, his first major retrospective in the city), Frida Kahlo, and Diego Rivera.
There are substantial retrospectives, including the New Museum’s inaugural exhibition in its newly expanded space, the MoMA PS1’s Greater New York triennial, and, naturally, the Whitney Biennial, opening to the public on Sunday (but accessible to the press today — stay tuned for coverage!). If you’re in search of exhibitions with a spiritual theme, or those centered around the human form, you’ll find your desires met. Fashion enthusiasts will also find much to appreciate, and rest assured, the Bezoses’ influence isn’t omnipresent just yet.
Additionally, there’s an impressive selection of outdoor art, perfectly timed for the warmer weather. Spring is indeed on the horizon, promising an exciting season in the art scene. Our editorial team has crafted an extensive guide to the must-see exhibitions throughout the city, featuring everything from a monumental Buddha on the High Line to the sartorial elegance of Thomas Gainsborough.
