This focused exhibition presents a selection of superlative drawings from the courts and centers of India and Pakistan (with a few related Persian works) dating from the late sixteenth to the twentieth century. These works are mainly selected from The Met collection in partnership with film director James Ivory, whose recent gift to the Museum of nineteenth-century photograph albums will also be featured in the exhibition (2021.381.1-16). The drawings will include fresh and informal preparatory exercises for paintings as well as beautifully finished works in their own right. The photographs will present the subject matter and styles that came about in the contexts of royal patronage and ceremony; views of architecture, cities, landscapes, and people, among others. As an artist and filmmaker, James Ivory will help us appreciate this material through his unique gaze. A short film — An Arrested Moment — directed by Dev Benegal, will accompany the show.

Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century landscape artists often sketched outdoors in oil paint on paper to capture nature from direct observation. Yet as natural as these scenes look, the vantages were chosen or augmented to draw the viewer into the composition. Whether through adding a prescribed path, capturing flecks of light glinting off a winding river, or presenting a series of plateaus receding into the distance, artists created a point of entry and route along which the viewer could journey. These small-scale oil sketches—including a work by one of the few female European landscape painters of her era, Louise-Joséphine Sarazin de Belmont—illustrate how artists synthesized the real and ideal to evoke the experience of encountering nature.

For the 2024 Genesis Facade Commission, South Korean artist Lee Bul (born 1964, Yeongju, based in Seoul) has created four new sculptures that combine figurative and abstract elements. The Genesis Facade Commission: Lee Bul,Long Tail Halois the artist’s first major project in the United States in more than twenty years and the fifth in the series of contemporary commissions for The Met Fifth Avenue’s facade niches. With a career that spans four decades, Lee is widely recognized as the preeminent artist from South Korea. She is known for her sophisticated use of both highly industrial and labor-intensive materials, incorporating artisanal practices as well as technological advancements into her work. Her sculptures, often evoking bodily forms that are at once classical and futuristic, address the aspirations and disillusions that come with progress. The Genesis Facade Commission is part of The Met’s series of contemporary commissions in which the Museum invites artists to create new works of art, establishing a dialogue between the artist’s practice, The Met collection, the physical Museum, and The Met’s audiences.

This groundbreaking exhibition explores the everyday clothing of ordinary women, from worn-out housecoats to psychedelic micro miniskirts and modern suits to the uniforms of fast-food workers. On view in the Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Gallery and featuring objects from Smith College’s Historical Costume Collection on display for the first time in a museum, the exhibition traces how women’s roles have changed and evolved across race and class over the decades. Each garment holds a rich story about the women who wore it and made it, the materials used, and the context of place and time. Whether homemade or ready-made, many of the garments on display are modest and inexpensive, rarely preserved or displayed in a museum setting. Some are one-of-a-kind pieces; others are examples of clever makeshift pieces, and many were influenced by the popular styles and trends of their day. Visitors to Real Clothes, Real Lives will learn about the "real" women who worked and dressed in America for two centuries.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has launched its first-ever major museum exhibition to examine the career of influential 20th-century architect Paul Rudolph, a second-generation Modernist architect who came to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s alongside peers such as Eero Saarinen and I.M. Pei. Materialized Space: The Architecture of Paul Rudolphexhibits the full breadth of Rudolph’s important contributions to architecture—from his early experimental houses in Florida to his civic commissions rendered in concrete, from his utopian visions of urban megastructures and mixed-use skyscrapers to his extraordinary immersive New York interiors. The exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to experience the evolution and diversity of Rudolph’s legacy and to better understand how his work continues to inspire ideas for urban renewal and reconstruction around the world. The exhibition features more than 80 artifacts of varying scales, ranging from small objects collected throughout his life to a wide range of materials produced in his office, including drawings, models, furniture, material samples, and photographs.

Public Art Fund partnered with The Studio Museum in Harlem to advise Lincoln Center on the selection of artists for this first iteration of the art program. Two prominent sites were identified for the site-specific commissions: the 50-foot Hauser Digital Wall in the lobby, which Jacolby Satterwhite has animated with a richly layered and inclusive celebration of performance that brings into dialogue the past, present and future; and the Hall’s 65th Street façade, which Nina Chanel Abney has transformed into a captivating tribute to the vibrant history and culture of San Juan Hill. Both artists undertook extensive research to develop their works. They emerge as gifted visual storytellers, committed to a more inclusive understanding of the past while giving us all a sense of future potential at a moment of reopening and reinvention.

Visitors to the exhibition will trace the evolution of Barbie from a child’s toy to a global icon, exploring the style trends, careers, and identities that Barbie has embodied and popularized since her debut in 1959.

When Franz Kafka died of tuberculosis at the age of forty, in 1924, few could have predicted the influence his relatively small body of work would have on every realm of thought and creative endeavor over the course of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first. This exhibition will present, for the first time in the United States, the Bodleian Library’s extraordinary holdings of literary manuscripts, correspondence, diaries, and photographs related to Kafka, including the original manuscript of his novella The Metamorphosis. Other highlights include the manuscripts of his novels Amerika and The Castle; letters and postcards addressed to his favorite sister, Ottla; his personal diaries, in which he also composed fiction, including his literary breakthrough, the 1912 story “The Judgment”; and unique items such as his drawings, the notebooks he used when studying Hebrew, and family photographs. In addition to presenting unique literary and biographical material, the exhibition examines Kafka’s afterlife, from the complex journeys of his manuscripts, to the posthumous creation of a literary icon whose very name has become an adjective, to his immense influence on the worlds of literature, theater, dance, film, and the visual arts. Drawing on institutional holdings and private collections in the United States and Europe, the Morgan will show a selection of key works, among them Andy Warhol’s portrait of Kafka, part of his 1980 series Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century.

The exhibition “Tintoretto, The Power of Opposites” is a significant cultural event taking place in Domodossola from November 8, 2024, to June 1, 2025.

Experts debate which Olympics were the best designed, with Mexico City, Los Angeles, Barcelona, and Grenoble drawing enthusiastic advocates. But a consensus usually forms around the graphic program created for the XXth Olympiad held in Munich, West Germany, in 1972. Usually attributed to a single visionary creative director, Otl Aicher, the program was in fact created by a team of designers who worked tirelessly on every detail of it for nearly six years. The result was a fully coordinated, rigorously executed, totally comprehensive scheme that set a new standard for the design of the Games. It became an influential model not only for the design of sporting events but for comprehensive identity programs of any kind. This exhibition highlights the program created for the 1972 Munich Olympics at its best, one for each event, each capturing both a moment in time and making a bid for permanence. Together, they demonstrate a magically calibrated balance of consistency and surprise, control and power, precision and exuberance: no less than the athletes they celebrate.Graphic designer Michael Bierut graduated from the University of Cincinnati and worked for ten years with Massimo Vignelli before joining the New York office of the design consultancy Pentagram in 1990. His teaching appointments have included positions at the Yale School of Art and the Yale School of Management. He was the recipient of the AIGA Medal in 2006 and the Design Mind Award from the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum in 2008.

The majority of the posters in this exhibition date from the Golden Age of London Passenger Transport Board posters, when many artists were commissioned to produce designs, primarily for London Underground and its various connecting networks of tram and bus lines. In this post-World War I era, the overarching concept behind the poster campaigns was to encourage off-peak travel across the wider network through eye-catching, attractive designs, thus driving up revenues for under-utilized lines. Most of these posters were not advertising the train lines themselves, but featured images focused on pastoral or unspoiled destinations for weekend day trips, such as historic houses, beaches, or sporting events like rowing races, all on the outer reaches of the Tube lines. These vividly colored posters frequently juxtaposed the inherent grayness of inner city London with an exaggerated vibrant atmosphere available just a short Tube ride away.

For the 2024 Great Hall Commission, Taiwanese artist Tong Yang-Tze (born 1942, Shanghai, based in Taipei) has created two monumental works of Chinese calligraphy for the Museum’s historic space. Her project is the third in the series of commissions for The Met’s Great Hall and the artist’s first major project in the United States.

Valeria Luiselli, Ricardo Giraldo, and Leo Heiblum’s Echoes from the Borderlands is a series of captivating sound studies that explore the history of the U.S.–Mexico border from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. This winter, Dia presents Echoes from the Borderlands: Study Two, which blends field recordings and conversations to highlight issues like the genocide of Native peoples, migration, reproductive rights, and environmental destruction. Visitors are invited to experience this project in four six-hour segments that journey through California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, and play consecutively during Dia Chelsea’s open days.

Nothing in Florida is quite what it seems. A popular tourist destination since the early twentieth century, it is a place where fantasy and reality collide, a subtropical paradise threatened by hurricanes and rising sea levels, a refuge for extremism and eccentricity. This exhibition brings together photographs and paintings of Florida by two artists of different generations who have sought to understand its complexity and contradictions: Anastasia Samoylova (born 1984), a Russian-American photographer based in Miami, and Walker Evans (1903–1975), an influential originator of documentary-style American photography.

Since the early 1970s, artist, activist, and scholar Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe (b. 1951, Chicago, IL; lives and works in South Kent, CT) has made photographs that testify to the beauty and complexity of Black life, honoring the rhythms of the everyday and marking important rites of passage for the people who appear in them.

Opening on January 16, 2025, Lévy Gorvy Dayan will present the significant solo exhibition Michelangelo Pistoletto: To Step Beyond, organized in collaboration with Galleria Continua. This major presentation will feature painting and sculpture spanning the Italian artist’s groundbreaking practice from the early 1960s to the present, illuminating the radicality of his evolving oeuvre. Pistoletto once wrote, “If art is life’s mirror, then I am the mirror maker.” Ever advancing the bounds of his artmaking, Pistoletto engages developments in technology, society, and the environment to consider contemporary existence while also looking to the future.

‘This Beautiful Light’ is dedicated to Etel Adnan (1925–2021), a leading artistic and literary voice of Arab-American culture, on the centenary of her birth. Celebrating the multi-faceted work of Adnan, this comprehensive exhibition explores the interrelated motifs, mediums and concerns she developed over the course of six decades, and which have come to define her practice.
