See Stop Run, an exhibition in a century-old office building in New York’s financial district, focuses on Wool’s work from the past decade, though his practice dates back to the 1980s.

Much like the nation’s so-called founding in 1776, the definition of American culture has always been problematic, fraught with a deep-seated history tied to colonization, imperialism, and capitalism.

Every Fourth of July, these questions about our nation’s heritage resurface as communities across the country mark America’s independence from Great Britain with star-studded celebrations like parades, fireworks, and barbecues. For this year’s holiday,…

CLAVILLAC, New York — It’s no secret that the art world can be a lonely place.

Campus, an abandoned high school-turned-art exhibition space shared by six New York City galleries located a few miles southeast of Hudson, offers a solace: a program centered on camaraderie and shared profits.

Okay, not exactly, but animals are the protagonists of some of our favorite exhibitions so far. Walton Ford’s “bird beasts” (from the exhibition title) contrast with Maija Peeples-Bright and Roy De Forest’s playful dogs, cats, and bears, while Julia Isídrez’s animal ceramic vessels create a world of their own. Beyond the animal kingdom, don’t miss surveys of beloved art luminaries like Eva Hesse and middle-aged charmers like Loie Hollowell, who’s a little further afield in Connecticut. By…
