Spanning over sixty years of contemporary sculpture, When Forms Come Alive highlights ways in which artists draw on familiar experiences of movement, flux, and organic growth. Inspired by sources ranging from a dancer’s gesture to the breaking of a wave, from a flow of molten metal to the interlacing of a spider’s web, the works by twenty-one international artists conjure fluid and shifting realms of experience. Work by Franz West is included.

Opened June 28, 2019
Whitney Museum of American Art, New York
whitney.org

This exhibition of more than 120 works, drawn entirely from the Whitney’s collection, is inspired by the founding history of the museum. The Whitney was established in 1930 by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney to champion the work of living American artists. A sculptor and a patron, Whitney recognized both the importance of contemporary American art and the need to support the artists who made it. The collection she assembled foregrounds how artists uniquely reveal the complexity and beauty of American life. Work by Jay DeFeo, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Man Ray, Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol, and Tom Wesselmann is included.

Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron
Portraits to Dream In

Through June 16, 2024
National Portrait Gallery, London
www.npg.org.uk

Photographers Francesca Woodman (1958–1981) and Julia Margaret Cameron (1815–1879) lived a century apart—Cameron working in the United Kingdom and Sri Lanka from the 1860s onwards, and Woodman in the United States and Italy from the 1970s. Both women explored portraiture, going beyond its ability to record appearance, and using their own creativity and imagination to suggest notions of beauty, symbolism, transformation, and storytelling. Showcasing more than 150 rare vintage prints, this exhibition presents an overview of both artists’ careers, and suggests new ways both to look at their work and to examine how photographic portraiture was created in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Institut Giacometti, Paris

In 2013, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, invited Hiroshi Sugimoto to photograph their sculpture garden. This commission initiated the series Past Presence (2013–18), which includes photographs of Alberto Giacometti’s Tall Figure, III (1960) shot both in broad daylight and at dusk. The duality of these images evokes a connection Sugimoto saw between the sculpture and the supernatural aspects of traditional Japanese Noh theater, where the living and the dead meet on the stage. The exhibition, whose title translates to Staged, is organized around the reconstruction of a Noh scene and includes a selection of Giacometti’s most emblematic sculptures, photographs and films by Sugimoto, and ancient Noh masks from the latter artist’s collection.
