Good afternoon! And we hope the latest bout of extreme weather didn’t put too much of a damper on things.
Good afternoon! And we hope the latest bout of extreme weather didn’t put too much of a damper on things. It’s a busy week in the art world, despite the heat and the flood and the more run-of-the-mill New York madness. This week’s newsletter may be something like the luminaries special issue. There’s Jane Austen at The Met, as reviewed by Aly Thomas; countless household names at the Art Students League, drawn from their notable alumni; and a paean to the legendary performers of the Pyramid Club, that bygone bastion of New York culture, written by Arthur Nersesian, who lived it himself. And swing by Participant Inc. to view the work of artist, musician, and transgender activist Chloe Dzubilo — also a mainstay at the Pyramid Club — after reading Reviews Editor Natalie Haddad’s review. Meanwhile, Blacklisted: An American Story, an exhibition about Hollywood’s Red Scare at the New York Historical, opens this week. Plus, Chelsea and Tribeca galleries will be open late tomorrow, and I hear rumor of there being free ice cream as well.
