Art & Antiques Week NYC

January 27th - May 8th   |   Austrian Cultural Forum

The Austrian Cultural Forum New York and the Belvedere Vienna present the new exhibition Alpine Desire. Featuring works by 21 artists spanning the 19th – 21st centuries, the exhibition has been conceived of as a dialogue between artists over the course of decades, rather than as a chronological lineup of works.

Artists: Herbert Boeckl, Herbert Brandl, Adam Cvijanovic, Thomas Ender, Gelitin, Antony Gormley, Ellen Harvey, Michael Hoepfner, Richard Jochum, Koloman Moser, Christian Philipp Muller, Laura Mcphee, Walter Niedermayr, Lois Renner, Ed Ruscha, Gregor Sailer, Michaela Schwentner, Hans Schabus, Margherita Spiluttini, James Everett Stuart, Ferdinand Georg Waldmuller

April 1st - June 26th   |   Studio Museum Harlem

The Studio Museum is pleased to present Stephen Burks: Man Made, a unique project that highlights Burks’s concrete talents and conceptual work as a design practitioner. Inspired by Burks’s collaboration with Senegalese basket weavers based in New York and Dakar, as well as projects with artisans in South Africa, Peru and India, Man Made starts with the traditional basket-weaving process as its core concept. During the exhibition, the Museum’s galleries will be transformed, literally, into a workshop where New York-based weavers and artisans will create a series of functional and experimental objects and installations conceived by Burks and involving natural materials such as sweetgrass, cloth and paper, as well as industrial materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene and Tyvek®.

March 11th - May 28th   |   International Print Center New York

Artists Collect: Prints from the Collections of Sol LeWitt, Kiki Smith, Philip Taaffe and Richard Tuttle

Artists Collect consists of fifty-four prints and books from the personal collections of four major artists. The exhibition includes work dating from 1558 to 2006, from sixteenth-century natural history books, to German Romanticist etchings, to Japanese woodblocks, Syrian relief prints, and work by contemporary printmakers such as John Baldessari and Jasper Johns. The exhibition reflects the breadth of interests among the four lenders as well as the diversity within each artist’s collection.

October 30th 2010- August 14th 2011  |   Brooklyn Museum

Sam Taylor-Wood’s 2008 photographic exploration of the Yorkshire moors, Ghosts, is the latest exhibition in the Herstory Gallery of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art. On view from October 30, 2010, through August 14, 2011, the series was inspired by Emily Brontë’s classic Victorian novel, Wuthering Heights, and its legendary atmospheric descriptions of the bleak, wild landscape.

For many years, Taylor-Wood kept a country house in the same West Yorkshire region where Emily Brontë and her famous literary and artistic family lived. Drawing inspiration from the Brontë sisters’ gothic romantic fiction, the artist followed the footpath from the stone parsonage where the Brontës lived and died up across the moors to Top Withens, a ruined farmhouse and the alleged setting of Wuthering Heights. In her photographs, she captures the stark and haunting character of the windswept moors and gray skies surrounding the area of Top Withens.
