— Kind of Blue

Kind of Blue is an immersive installation by Alois Kronschlaeger in a former retail space below the gallery. The 1500 square-foot gridded structure of 2 x 2-inch wooden planks is covered with 500 yards of blue Ultrasuede fabric.

The artwork is designed to be immersive. Pathways in the grid allow visitors to walk around, on top of, and through the work. The interior structure of the piece is gradually divulged as one moves through it; what was soft and pliable on the exterior is revealed to be a highly structured, geometric form underneath.

Kind of Blue is named after the classic album by Miles Davis, which was conceived and recorded in New York City. The nature of Kronschlaeger’s installation echoes the central tenet of jazz music: rolling themes and variations occurring within a structured program.

— KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature

The New York Botanical Garden’s expansive 2021 exhibition, KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature, features work by internationally celebrated Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. 

Exclusively at NYBG, Kusama reveals her lifelong fascination with the natural world, beginning with her childhood spent in the greenhouses and fields of her family’s seed nursery. 

Her artistic concepts of obliteration, infinity, and eternity are inspired by her intimate engagement with the colors, patterns, and life cycles of plants and flowers.

— The Great American Fact

Amy Sherald, one of America’s defining contemporary portraitists, will unveil new paintings in her first West Coast solo exhibition. On view at Hauser & Wirth’s Downtown Arts District complex in Los Angeles, ‘The Great American Fact’ presents five works produced in 2020 that extend the artist’s technical innovations and distinctive visual language.

Sherald is acclaimed for paintings of Black Americans at leisure that achieve the authority of landmarks in the grand tradition of social portraiture – a tradition that for too long excluded the Black men, women, and families whose lives have been inextricable from the narrative of the American experience.
