You may have noticed the skywriting over Manhattan on Sunday, enigmatic advertising slogans like “Open Now” and “Last Chance.” Those were part of artist Kim Beck’s installation at the High Line, where she has also constructed sculptures resembling the skeletal frames of advertising billboards. This week you can see Beck’s drawings and site-specific installations in a more conventional setting, her first solo show with Mixed Greens Gallery.
Alfred Stieglitz is best known as a master photographer, one of the first to earn acceptance as an artist. Though he recently appeared in this capacity in the Metropolitan Museum’s exhibition Stieglitz, Steichen, Strand, the latest Stieglitz show at the Metropolitan is devoted to a different side of the artist. Stieglitz exhibited the era’s most important modern artists in art galleries he ran from 1905 to 1946, amassing a historic collection that became the foundation of the Metropolitan’s modern art holdings. Acquired by the museum in 1949, this is the first large-scale presentation of pieces from the collection.
