"Picture yourself in a room made entirely of fuzzy white fur. Or looking at an interdimensional light painting. Or gazing into lush, realist vistas of the Caribbean. Escape is a state of mind - but sometimes it's also a ride on the MetroNorth."
"Our editors rounded up must-see shows a mere train ride or drive from the city, including Rina Banerjee's diaphanous monuments at the Yale Center for British Art, Agnes Martin's serene paintings at Dia Beacon, Piero Manzoni's avant-garde environments at Magazzino, and more."
"Despite working within the parameters of his materials, his art is playful, inventive, and exuberant. The son of legendary painters, Ryman has developed his own visual language, transforming aspects of his parents' work, and Minimalism, into something recognizably his."
New York City offers exceptional art and culture, but spring provides opportunities to explore significant exhibitions beyond the city. Curated recommendations highlight 15 must-see shows within train or driving distance, featuring artists like Rina Banerjee, Agnes Martin, and Piero Manzoni. Exhibitions range from immersive environments to realist landscapes and avant-garde installations. The newsletter also features studio visits with contemporary artists, including Cordy Ryman, who synthesizes minimalism and his parents' artistic legacies into distinctive work. Additional coverage includes memorials to arts patrons and cultural figures, plus critical perspectives on historical artists like Andy Warhol's contributions to queer art.
