Just a couple days left to catch Monica Cook’s (@monicacookstudio) dazzling show at @urbanglass_nyc, “Above and Below.” This dripping tower of glass honeycomb is “Honeypot” (2019). 🍯 (at UrbanGlass) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2S5VmRlZRU/?igshid=7z2l377smecu

Loved the series of quilts Jess Johnson (@flesh_dozer) creates with her mother Cynthia Johnson for her new show at @jackhanleygallery (this one is “Woom Ansible,” 2019). That said, the VR pieces are the stars of the show and you should absolutely hog a headset and take the time to experience all five in their brain-melting glory.

Some #catart for #caturday from the @wildlifeartjh: “Tiger Observing Cranes” (circa 1890) by Jean-Leon Gérôme and his studio. 🐅 (at National Museum of Wildlife Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2HsNCMlkRe/?igshid=1nurnzcrnppag

Some #catart for #caturday from the @centerofthewest: “Tonto’s Dream” (2013) by Chippewa artist David Bradley, a riff on Henri Rousseau’s “The Sleeping Gypsy.” (at Whitney Western Art Museum at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West) https://www.instagram.com/p/B11RpjJFQFH/?igshid=13qq1g36p44ml

I’m really into this (relatively) recent #streetart addition to my daily commute, courtesy #yougogirl. 🙌🏼 (at Manhattan Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Y0Q4-l5xs/?igshid=1m6n5vqpfaf2c

Just a few days left to catch the @americanart’s excellent “Artists Respond: American Art and the Vietnam War, 1965–1975” (before it travels to @artsmia). This is Benny Andrews’s “American Gothic” (1971). (at Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Renwick Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1KHU-RF6Q7/?igshid=19eyllkejw2yh

Second to last day of the @womeninthearts’s Ursula von Rydingsvard (@ursulavonryd) exhibition. This is “Krypta I” (2014). (at National Museum of Women in the Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0cB8F3F1Pf/?igshid=xc6r1gmonlxt

Some #caturday #catart from the @ngadc: Hendrik Goltzius, “The Fall of Man” (1616). I can’t tell whether this cat’s creepily human facial expression is saying “the biblical narrative in which I’m appearing is patriarchal propaganda” or “one day I will appear on a mood board belonging to a production designer working on a film about cats who dance and talk like humans, and it will be a travesty.” Either way, not a happy cat.

So happy to have caught “Shadow of the Gradient,” curated by @clarebrittphotographer, on its final day. This is “Chandelier II” (2015) by Kat Ryals (@katryals_studio). (at Ortega y Gasset Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0MQVYClBUc/?igshid=28rbg0ymfep5

So happy to have caught Rachelle Dang’s (@rachelledang.studio) moving installation, “Under a Constellation of Leaves,” at @mhprojectnyc on its second-to-last day. (at Veselka :: Beceлкa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz3wmZTFlGC/?igshid=ge0h1yw7y9mx

It’s the last day of “Ariadne Unraveling” at @asyageisberggallery. This piece by Katarina Riesing (@katarinariesing), “OK” (2018, dye, embroidery, and puff paint on raw silk), is one of several whose awesomeness cannot be fully conveyed in photos. 🆗 (at Asya Geisberg Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzTPJ4sF-_t/?igshid=1of5i1m2m0q1y

Very happy to have caught the Kiki Kogelnik show at @miandn (closes tomorrow!). This is “Dynamite Darling” (1972). 🧨 (at Mitchell-Innes & Nash) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzRXi7Vla57/?igshid=lgzr0wexv9rr

Elmgreen & Dragset’s “The Care of Oneself” (2017) at the beautiful @donumestate. (at Donum) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzIgUjhlY5Q/?igshid=wigl7oj5cxx4

Today is closing day at @themuseumofmodernart, before the final leg of its expansion. Last chance to see the fascinating show on Lincoln Kirstein, who played an important role in MoMA’s early years and advocated for an alternative (and in many ways more inclusive) history of modernism. This is a work from that show, by the Brazilian artist José Bernardo Cardoso, Jr., “Still Life with View of the Bay of Guanabara” (1937).
