9 Things to Do in New York’s Art World Before June 30

Raymond Pettibon, 'To Wit'

Last year's "To Wit" at David Zwirner allowed Pettibon the rare freedom to use the gallery as a studio and an exhibition space. Pettibon painted and drew works in the same space where they were later exhibited. A new book, To Wit, documents the creation process and the finished works of last year's show. Mr. Pettibon's fan and friend, Kim Gordon, will be speaking with the artist before a book signing. —Dashel Pierson
