Did you see Phyllida Barlow's show at the New Museum this past spring? If you did, you know she's great, and if you didn't, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Her sculptures are dispatches from an alien landscape, fiendishly likable. Check them out, won't you? —Dan Duray

Hauser & Wirth, 32 East 69 Street, New York 6-8 p.m.

Skarstedt will present eight works from this series of monochromatic paintings from the 1990s by Richard Prince.

Los Angeles–based artist Charles Ray will present three new solid stainless sculptures that sound as wonderfully enigmatic as his any of his previous works. One is a nude self-portrait. Not wanting to spoil the show, let's leave it at that. It sounds like it's going to be great. —Andrew Russeth

The relentlessly experimental artist Tony Conrad, currently the subject of an exhibition at 80WSE, will discuss his work with a distinguished group of panelists—Branden Joseph, Andrew Lampert, Tabea Lurke and Jay Sanders. Michael Cohen, the show's curator, will moderate. —A.R.

Never miss a Bjarne Melgaard show. You never know what area of his demented artistic psyche will be on display! This one's pegged as a "surrealist garage sale" and is pegged to the release of a real novel by the artist. Violent scenes from it will be acted out with dolls around the house. —D.D.
