Where to see Jean-Michel Basquiat in New York
The Met's 2021 gift of two paintings anchors a thin permanent presence; three defining shows from 2019 to 2023 set the exhibition record the market now shadows.
Profiles of artists currently exhibiting in New York, covering method, materials, representation and where else their work appears this season. Established names and first-time exhibitors both included. Written to give a visitor context before entering the room, not a biography to read instead of looking.

The Met's 2021 gift of two paintings anchors a thin permanent presence; three defining shows from 2019 to 2023 set the exhibition record the market now shadows.

MoMA's first-acquired canvas, seven oils at the Met, and two monumental fields at the Guggenheim: a one-mile Rothko itinerary across three Manhattan museums.

Three free public murals, from Crack Is Wack in East Harlem to the Center's Once Upon a Time, plus the museum holdings that anchor Haring's short New York career.

Five portraits at the Met, the fearless 1980 Self-Portrait at the Whitney, and the Harlem and Upper West Side streets where she painted them.

From more than 3,000 works at the Whitney to landmark canvases at the Met and MoMA, New York holds the deepest Edward Hopper holdings anywhere.
