@The Jewish Museum
Featuring more than 180 works of art, installed across two floors, the immersive exhibition “New York: 1962-1964”, on view now thru January 2023 at The Jewish Museum (1109 Fifth Avenue) gathers an incredibly timely and diverse collection that examines how artists living and working in the city, artistically responded to the sociopolitical transformations of those turbulent years. The exhibition is the last project signed by Germano Celant, a brilliant curator and art historian who passed in ’20. He was approached by the Museum in 2017 to conceive a project addressing the importance and influential role of the art scene in New York of the early ‘60’s. The exhibition includes painting, sculpture, photography, film, and fashion, design, dance, poetry, and ephemera. INFO: https://thejewishmuseum.org/exhibitions/new-york-1962-1964
