One of the most prominent features of art from the late eighteenth century onwards, particularly after World War II, is artists’ tendency to evolve traditional artmaking methods outside the studio’s boundaries. This exhibition examines the ways in which contemporary artists enacted new ideas formed by the social and historical contexts of their time and pushed the boundaries of artmaking and materials as a result.

By Way Of offers a suite of works from the museum’s permanent collection inspired by the D.Daskalopoulos Collection Gift. Major artists from the Arte Povera movement of the 1960s and 1970s, like Jannis Kounellis and Mario Merz share the galleries with artists working today, such as Rashid Johnson, Mona Hatoum, and Senga Nengudi.

By Way Of: Material and Motion in the Guggenheim Collection is organized by Naomi Beckwith, Deputy Director and Jennifer and David Stockman Chief Curator.

The first major solo museum presentation of fourth-generation Navajo weaver Melissa Cody (b. 1983, No Water Mesa, Arizona) spans the last decade of her practice, showcasing over 30 weavings and a major new work produced for the exhibition. Using long-established weaving techniques and incorporating new digital technologies, Cody assembles and reimagines popular patterns into sophisticated geometric overlays, incorporating atypical dyes and fibers. Her tapestries carry forward the methods of Navajo Germantown weaving, which developed out of the wool and blankets that were made in Germantown, Pennsylvania and supplied by the US government to the Navajo people during the forced expulsion from their territories in the mid-1800s. During this period, the rationed blankets were taken apart and the yarn was used to make new textiles, a practice of reclamation which became the source of the movement. While acknowledging this history and working on a traditional Navajo loom, Cody’s masterful works exercise experimental palettes and patterns that animate through reinvention, reframing traditions as cycles of evolution.

The exhibition Crafting Modernity, Design in Latin America, 1940 - 1980 tells the story of the birth and evolution of modern design in Latin America through more than 300 objects, including furniture, posters, textiles, ceramics, representing a wide range of styles, from modernism to folkloric design. This fascinating exhibition shows how, under the impetus of pioneering artists such as Clara Porset and Lina Bo Bardi, Latin American designers have combined their local traditions, indigenous techniques and industry to create objects that are simultaneously aesthetic, functional and reflective of their cultures.

This exhibition presents a selection of prints by the artist, illustrator, and children’s book author Wanda Gág (1893-1946). These works record the world as Gág experienced it: a place where landscapes move rhythmically and inanimate objects hum with life. Although she also painted, the graphic arts offered her the most effective method for expressing this unique vision.

Born in Minnesota to immigrants from German Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic), Gág arrived in New York in 1917 to study at the Art Students League, where she became a fixture of the city’s modernist art scene. Adhering neither to abstraction nor social realism—the dominant artistic movements at the time-Gág forged her own approach to figuration. Over the course of her career, she found modest success selling her prints and produced several popular children’s books, examples of which are presented in the show. Gág was also a prolific writer about her life and work, and excerpts from her letters and diaries accompany the prints on view.

Drawn entirely from the Whitney’s collection, the works in this exhibition span roughly two decades, ranging from the mid-1920s to the year before Gág's death. Together, these still lifes, landscapes, and interiors illuminate what the artist called “Wanda Gág world,” demonstrating her fervent quest to capture the feeling and movement of life as she saw it.

Wanda Gág’s World is co-curated by Roxanne Smith, Senior Curatorial Assistant, and Scout Hutchinson, Curatorial Fellow.

See highlights from two-time Tony Award–winning composer Jeanine Tesori’s newest opera, Grounded, with a libretto by George Brant, author of the original play. Wrestling with the ethical quandaries and psychological toll of twenty-first-century warfare, this Met commission focuses on Jess, a hotshot fighter pilot whose unplanned pregnancy takes her out of the cockpit and lands her in Las Vegas, operating a Reaper drone halfway around the world. As she struggles to adjust to this new way of doing battle, she fights to maintain her sanity, and her soul, as she is called to rain down death by remote control. Met General Manager Peter Gelb moderates a discussion with the Met’s Music Director and Grounded conductor, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Director Michael Mayer, Tesori, and Brant. Emily D’Angelo, Ben Bliss, and Kirsten MacKinnon perform selections from the opera.

Join Joan Tisch Teaching Fellow Jacqueline Cofield in this multifaceted exploration of Alvin Ailey’s world and enduring impact on the arts. This virtual program introduces Ailey’s profound legacy as one of the most influential figures in modern dance ahead of the opening of the Museum’s fall blockbuster exhibition, Edges of Ailey. Members will be captivated by Ailey’s ability to intertwine dance, music, and visual art to create a powerful form of storytelling, from his early influences and the formation of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater to his collaboration with visual artists and engagement with broader cultural and social dynamics.

Delve into Ailey’s iconic works, such as Blues Suite and Revelations, reflecting Black culture and history, and highlighting themes of migration, spirituality, and liberation.
