\n\tYou\u2019d be forgiven for thinking New York\u2019s fall art calendar begins and ends with the museum spotlight. From the Whitney Museum\u2019s Roy Lichtenstein retrospective to a Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock blockbuster at the Met, \u2019tis the season of mid-century heavyweights. But for those who\u2019ve made the rounds\u2014or simply like their art with a party\u2014compelling encounters abound in group shows across the city.<\/p>\n
\n\tSome delve into lesser-known chapters of New York art history; others bring serious scholarship to overlooked art forms. Several institutions are marking major anniversaries in business (no small feat in Manhattan) with exhibitions drawn from the collections that have sustained their programs over the years.<\/p>\n
\n\tRead on for a decidedly non-exhaustive list of group shows to catch around the city during Art Week NYC, a four-day festival of art events taking place across the city that is being organized by ARTnews<\/em>, Art in America<\/em>, and Artforum<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn honor of the soapiest of television traditions, bring your lover, their lover, a secret love child, a long-lost twin\u2014or triplet\u2014engaged in identity fraud to \u201cTelenovela\u201d at the Americas Society. Through roughly 50 artworks dating from the 1970s to the present, the exhibition explores the tantalizing intrigue of telenovelas, whose appeal transcends class, language, and geography across the Americas. Rather than dismiss the drama, the show\u2019s curator, Aim\u00e9 Iglesias Lukin, considers the genre\u2019s power to unsettle seemingly calcified social and political values. The show also includes a commission by Mexican artist, performer, and educator Pablo Helguera, who\u2019s mined the medium as a site of scholarship through his ongoing project Instituto de la Telenovela<\/em>, begun in 2002.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\tIn November 1970, Faith Ringgold, Jean Toche, and Jon Hendricks, soon to be known as the Judson Three, gathered more than 150 artists at Judson Memorial Church in New York City for \u201cThe People\u2019s Flag Show,\u201d a riotous, weeklong expedition to the limits of creative expression. The exhibition\u2019s flyer called on artists to test the \u201crepressive laws governing so-called flag desecration,\u201d and test them they did. Among the works on view was an iteration of Yvonne Rainer\u2019s signature dance Trio A<\/em>, performed by dancers wearing American flags tied like bibs around their necks. Police raided the exhibition, and its organizers were convicted of violating New York\u2019s flag desecration law. \u201cWe have been convicted, but in fact it is this nation and these courts who are guilty,\u201d they declared in a statement following the ruling, which was later overturned. The exhibition was organized in solidarity with Stephen Radich, a New York art dealer whose conviction for exhibiting works that incorporated the American flag in protest of the Vietnam War brought his case before the US Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
\n\tCurated by Howie Chen with Jon Huron, \u201cIncendiaries\u201d arrives at New York University\u2019s 80WSE Gallery as a kind of cultural stress test, pressing against the same social limits the Judson Three challenged more than half a century ago\u2014and finding them as rigid as ever. In the intervening decades, a rising tide of nationalism has swept through the arts, narrowing the space for political dissent. Perseverance, however, is the point. Drawing extensively from the Judson Memorial Church Archive, including rare photographs and video documentation, \u201cIncendiaries\u201d traces a continuum of social activism carried forward by contemporary artists.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\tThis show compellingly suggests that American landscape art truly begins not with the Hudson River School\u2019s Romantic vistas or the god-defying expanses that would eventually give way to abstraction, but with young women\u2014including free and enslaved women of color\u2014who rendered this nascent frontier in needle and thread. Caroline Culp, curator of American art at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk and co-organizer of the American Folk Art Museum exhibition, has assembled nearly 100 objects dating from the colonial period through the nation\u2019s founding. These include the kinds of ornamental works trivialized as women\u2019s work: needlework pictures, watercolor studies, painted furniture, among more mediums. The show was organized with the sesquicentennial in mind, but presents a welcome counterpoint to the prevailing triumphalism, which argues art as a vehicle of national might.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuddha and Shiva, Lotus and Dragon: Celebrating 70 Years of Asia Society and the Rockefeller Legacy\u201d at Asia Society<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\tImage Credit: Asia Society, New York: Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd Collection, 1979.38\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n
\n\tThe Asia Society is marking 70 years in Manhattan with an exhibition of 70 devotional sculptures and ceramics from its renowned Rockefeller collection. The selection offers a spectacular introduction to a trove spanning two millennia of Asian art, from an 11th-century bronze figure of the Hindu goddess Parvati to a mid-17th-century Japanese tea-leaf jar delicately painted with black myna birds and a strikingly embossed silver stem cup from China, dated to the late 7th or early 8th century.<\/p>\n
\n\tOrganized by Asia Society and the American Federation of Arts, the exhibition was first presented in 2020 under the direction of Adriana Proser, then the Asia Society Museum\u2019s senior curator. It has now returned in an expanded iteration, curated by assistant curator Xiaohan Du, to commemorate the museum\u2019s founding in 1956 by John D. Rockefeller III, grandson of the Standard Oil magnate. Rockefeller and his wife, Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller, assembled most of the collection between the 1950s and \u201970s and donated it to Asia Society in 1979. Look out for recent additions by two of their children, Sandra Ferry Rockefeller and Hope Aldrich, who carry the family\u2019s collecting legacy into the present.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\tAs any millennial cosplayer in the West can attest, over the past decade manga has moved from niche interest to pop-culture powerhouse. Making its East Coast debut at the Brooklyn Museum, \u201cThe Art of Manga\u201d marks another milestone in that ascent: an institutional survey of the Japanese comics form that attracted more than 176,000 visitors in a previous iteration at the de Young museum in San Francisco. The exhibition features more than 600 original drawings by some of the medium\u2019s biggest names, including Takahashi Rumiko (Inuyasha<\/em>), Oda Eiichiro (One Piece<\/em>), and Araki Hirohiko (JoJo\u2019s Bizarre Adventure<\/em>). Tracing manga\u2019s historical roots through its contemporary iterations, the show considers how the form reflects and interrogates social conventions around gender, sexuality, and class disparity.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\tIn typical accounts of the Italian Renaissance, Florence tends to hog the spotlight, with Milan and Venice not far behind. \u201cSiena: The Art of Bronze, 1450\u20131500\u201d makes a case for the Tuscan city\u2014about 30 miles south of Florence\u2014as a center of artistic ingenuity in its own right. Organized by Frick associate curator Giulio Dalvit, the exhibition brings together works by influential sculptors including Donatello, Vecchietta, and Francesco di Giorgio, reconsidering their bronzes against a pivotal chapter in the history of Sienese workshops. Here, technical innovation is cast in the same mold as the political and social forces that forged Renaissance art.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\tPerhaps a stop in the midcentury is unavoidable, since this is New York City, after all. \u201cFields of Color X\u201d brings together key works by leading painters of the Color Field movement, including Helen Frankenthaler, Kenneth Noland, Adolph Gottlieb, and Jules Olitski, to illuminate their professional and personal relationships. It\u2019s an admirable undertaking: When the subject is one of the most celebrated movements in art history, what new insights can emerge from the technical and conceptual interplay of these painting? Whatever the answer, an afternoon in the company of these blushing, blooming canvases is its own reward.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\tIn \u201cAll That Before Us,\u201d Jennifer Ling Datchuk and Consuelo Jimenez Underwood challenge a twofold hierarchy: one that relegates ceramics, textiles, and sculptural assemblage to the realm of craft, and the patriarchal order that has devalued both women\u2019s labor and the materials associated with it. Datchuk\u2019s porcelain works reckon with domestic labor and femininity, while two vessels inspired by Song dynasty ceramics are home to the chinoiserie motifs that recur in her visual vocabulary, alongside fertility figurines, extraterrestrials, pregnancy tests, and hair accessories. Jimenez Underwood, meanwhile, reimagines the Mesoamerican rebozo as a functional record of cultural memory, migration, and identity. Together, their works collapse the distance between ancestral traditions and modern politics.<\/p>\n
