LONG LINE - MARY HEILMANN
@WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART 09 APR, 2025 - 19 JAN, 2026 Mary Heilmann (b. 1940; San Francisco) once said that "museums are places to hang out," and this exhibition embodies that spirit, inviting social connection and engagement with the Whitney's architecture, the Hudson River, and the surrounding cityscape. The immersive environment includes a hand-painted enlargement of Heilmann's 2020 painting Long Line, as well as a variety of sculptural chairs related to furniture she has displayed in galleries and homes. The influence of 1960s counterculture and geometric Minimalism are reflected in Heilmann's decades-long approach to abstraction, one centered on exuberant color and unorthodox form. Long Line was influenced by the artist's experience watching waves off the coasts of Long Island and California—here it creates a visual rhyme with the Hudson River Discover more

RESILIENCE OF SCALE - THOMAS J PRICE
@HAUSER & WIRTH 24 APR - 14 JUN, 2025 For ‘Resilience of Scale,’ his first major solo exhibition with Hauser & Wirth in New York, British artist Thomas J Price will present five towering bronze figures that amplify traditionally marginalized bodies and redress structures of hierarchy, inviting questions about who we chose to celebrate in art. ‘Resilience of Scale’ presents an environment where mobility is truly felt: viewers will be able to move through the space to engage with the works directly and from all vantage points, positioning themselves within the artist’s narrative rather observing from a detached distance.

DREAMSCAPES: REIMAGINING WHAT WAS LEFT BEHIND
@BROOKLYN WATERFRONT ARTISTS COALITION (BWAC)
26 APR, 2025 - 18 MAY, 2025
BWAC is proud to feature Member artist Sergei Saakian's solo show Dreamscapes: Reimagining What Was Left Behind. This show blends personal memory and imagination of landscapes and figures from Sergei's childhood in Dagestan. Through subtle abstraction and vivid imagery, his works explore the shifting nature of memory and identity, reflecting on how the places and people we leave behind continue to resonate within us. Sergei Saakian (b. 1959, Makhachkala, Soviet Dagestan) is a New York-based artits whose work explores themes of displacement, identity, and cultural memory. Growing up in a multicultural, historically complex region deeply shaped his approach to painting and drawing, which continues to evolve since his move to NYC in 1990.

THE MONUMENTS TO MOTHERHOOD
22 APR, 2025 - 11 MAY, 2026
Prospect Park Alliance and NYC Parks have unveiled a new sculpture by artist and activist Molly Gochman at the Grand Army Plaza entrance to Prospect Park as part of NYC Parks’ Art in the Parks program. A work from the artist’s Monuments to Motherhood series, the fifteen-foot-tall bronze sculpture honors caregiving in all its forms, recognizing those who nurture, sustain, and support their communities—often in ways that go unseen. Across the country, public statuary rarely reflects these essential contributions, and the role of care remains largely overlooked in civic spaces. This sculpture offers a powerful acknowledgment of those whose labor holds society together and stands as a testament to the generations that came before us. The sculpture will be on view near the Grand Army Plaza Entrance for 1 year until May 2026. York 2025 Discover more
