Last Call: Vermeer at the Frick, MAD, MoMA, Met, Guggenheim, and Morgan

 

Johannes Vermeer, Mistress and Maid, c. 1667, The Frick

Dear friends,

The chilly winds of autumn have arrived. Summer is waning, Labor Day Weekend starts on Friday, and the end of the Spring-Summer Art Season is drawing to a close.

Below are the exhibitions closing at the end of August and in September.  

And you will find an extremely informative video about Jennie C. Jones: Ensemble, currently on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's a stunning combination of sight and sound. A must-see!  Ms. Jones' interview will help you understand her work.

Jennie C. Jones: Ensemble closes on Sunday, October 19th.  It is the last rooftop exhibition before the renovation of the 20th-Contemporary Galleries begins, scheduled to reopen in 2030.

Wishing you a relaxing and joyful Labor Day Weekend,

Beth
