Weekend Edition: 6 Things to Do in New York’s Art World Before April 27

In 1962, Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles gave Andy Warhol his first solo show, and he decided to show Campbell’s Soup Cans, the 32 paintings displaying the artist’s favorite canned food. They were shown in a row, just one line of canvases, but for some reason, since then, they’ve been installed at MoMA in a grid. For this new show, in the museum’s Paul J. Sachs Prints and Illustrated Books Galleries, the works will be installed according to the original Ferus Gallery placement, which I feel more effectively conveys all the notions of American consumerism Warhol was grasping at. Clam chowder, chicken noodle, cream of mushroom, onion, green pea, and so on.

10 Things to Do in New York’s Art World Before April 24

The day has come. After decades of abandoned plans, thwarted expansions, space limitations and slow construction, the glistening ship-shaped new home of the Whitney Museum of American Art is set to opens on the banks of the Hudson. Monday’s gala kicks off a week of events to let the elite feast their eyes on the sweeping vistas of the water and the giant exhibition spaces, which contain “America is Hard to See,” a show of works from the permanent collection that’s said to be breathtaking. Each event will have its perks, but this gala for donors seems particularly starry, with Michael Bloomberg and Sarah Jessica Parker holding up the social end of the guest list, and the elusive master Jasper Johns standing out among the list of expected artists.

5 Things to Do in New York’s Art World Before April 20

FRIDAY, APRIL 17 Talk: Peter Saul in conversation with Joe Bradley at Neuehouse Now, here’s an interesting pairing. Peter Saul, who has a mad funhouse of a show up at Venus Over Manhattan, will be talking to one of this decade’s most prominent market darlings, Joe Bradley. The invitation tells us the chat will cover topics such as “painting today, the intersection of art and politics, and the impact of early versus later life recognition,” so they could really be talking about, well, anything.

Opening: “John Waters: Beverly Hills John” at Marianne Boesky John Waters—Baltimore native, American treasure—has a new show at Marianne Boesky, and while I’m sure it’s all wonderful, the highlight will most definitely be Kiddie Flamingos, a remake of the just downright filthy Pink Flamingos, but with kids. Pink Flamingos as a kids movie! John Waters, never change.—N.F. Marianne Boesky Gallery, 509 W. 24th Street, New York, 6-8 p.m.
