FANMANIA

@THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 31 DEC, 2025 - 12 MAY, 2026

Fanmania investigates why avant-garde artists incorporated fans into their work and sheds light on themes of gender, courtship, consumerism, and appropriation. Artists were attracted to the semicircular form for myriad reasons, including fascination with fans from Asia and Spain, commercial ambition, and their interest in formal and technical innovation. Displaying more than 75 artworks from across The Met collection, this multimedia exhibition features painted and printed fans from Europe and Asia as well as artworks that depict women wielding fans to explore the phenomenon of “fanmania.” Discover more

CRISIS MANAGEMENT - GLORIA KLEIN @ANAT EBGI | TRIBECA

09 JAN - 28 JAN, 2026

Anat Ebgi is pleased to announce Crisis Management, an exhibition of paintings by American artist Gloria Klein. This is Klein’s first solo exhibition with the gallery in New York. Gloria Klein’s mature works are rooted in repetition and systemic order, developed through an enigmatic and self-determined process in which repeated strokes accumulate into vibrating fields of diagonal hatch marks.

THE MATCHBOX - LIBBY ROSA

Ortega y Gasset Projects is pleased to present The Matchbox, a solo installation by artist Libby Rosa, in our Main Space, and curated by Zahar Vaks. The Matchbox is a solo installation featuring new paintings and sculptures by Libby Rosa that explores desire, containment, and impermanence. The gallery transforms into a matchbox filled with more than matches: an embedded, barred window, enlarged sewing pins (bent, twisted, and unused), and flame-shaped panel paintings.

IMPROVISATIONS IN THE PARK - LARRY BELL @MADISON SQUARE PARK, NYC 20 SEPT, 2025 - 15 MAR, 2026

Madison Square Park Conservancy is excited to commission Taos, NM-based artist Larry Bell for our Fall 2025 exhibition. Across his nearly seven-decade career, Bell is renowned for his ability to harness the qualities of glass to create distinct optical effects. Using architectural glass and color, Bell creates minimalist forms that shift with naturally evolving environmental conditions. Bell is also one of the pioneers of the Light and Space movement that emerged in Southern California in the 1960s. His work uses atmosphere as a material, which alongside the reflective and transmissive properties of glass, leads to both subtle and complex perceptual conditions.
