DRAWN FROM LIFE - CLAES OLDENBURG
@WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART 05 JUL 2025 - 30 SEP 2025 Best known for his sculptures of everyday objects rendered in unexpected textures or dimensions, Claes Oldenburg (1929–2022) once proclaimed, “I am for an art that takes its form from the lines of life itself.” His innovations in sculpture emerged out of his drawing practice, which enabled him to swiftly record and transform the contours of the world around him. Claes Oldenburg: Drawn from Life focuses on the artist’s drawings from the 1960s in which he playfully reimagined the spaces—streets, stores, homes—and objects of daily life. This selection from the Whitney’s extensive collection of Oldenburg's works on paper attests to his wide range as a draftsman and expanded definition of life drawing. Discover more

BLACKBERRY RONDO - BEAU GABRIEL
@CARVALHO PARK
13 JUN 2025 - 26 JUL 2025
The proliferation of experiences and emotions that comprise each individual’s personal history might be remembered by a few stories, all the more vivid in their retelling, and a handful of intense images. By virtue of it being selective, and beholden to the conventions of narrative, memory is creative. Not only that, but memories pass from one generation to another, acquiring new meanings and echoes. If memory is an art, how might an artist reflect the richness of its styles and mechanisms in their own practice? Robert Lowell, in his poem ‘Epilogue’, proposes ‘plot and rhyme’ as ways to order and digest the past. Beau Gabriel’s new series of paintings offer alternative formal solutions for transforming memory into a work of art: echoes, allusions and borrowings that all fall under the umbrella of intertextuality. These paintings offer episodes from Gabriel’s family history in Marin County in Northern California, but consistently and inventively channel these private myths through imagery drawn from Italian Renaissance art. Chains of associations wind around well-known scenes and stories in mutually transformative relationships. The paintings accommodate a loose narrative of becoming — a young woman’s bildung in charged, pastel marshlands and pastures — but don’t insist upon being read sequentially.

TOUCHING THE EARTH - THADDEUS MOSLEY @CITY HALL PARK, MANHATTAN
03 JUN - 16 OCT, 2025
The exhibition features eight bronzes recently cast from wood sculptures Mosley made between 1996 and 2021. The bronze sculptures range from human scale to the monumental Gate III, while varied patinas and textures preserve the original surfaces as well as the tactile presence of his hand and chisel. Mosley draws on influences as varied as modernist sculpture, his collection of Western African masks, and the genre of jazz, to realize a deeply humanist body of sculptures through distillation, invention, and improvisation.
