whitney museum downtown preview

The Whitney Museum of American Art is preparing to open its new Meatpacking District museum, designed by Renzo Piano, on May 1. The new building will nearly double the museum's previous exhibition space, with two floors dedicated to its collection, and is expected to benefit from the millions of visitors who use the High Line. Despite past public criticism of expansions by other major New York museums like MoMA and the Frick, insiders including former MoMA curator Robert Storr and former Whitney director David Ross express strong support for the move, viewing it as a necessary and bold step forward.

‘Street Nihonga: The Art of Jimmy Tsutomu Mirikitani’

The Spencer Museum of Art has opened 'Street Nihonga: The Art of Jimmy Tsutomu Mirikitani,' a major spring exhibition featuring 170 works by the Japanese American artist, many never before displayed. The show traces Mirikitani's extraordinary life from his birth in Sacramento in 1920, his childhood in Hiroshima, formal training in traditional Nihonga under masters Kawai Gyokudō and Kimura Buzan, to his forced incarceration at Tule Lake during World War II after refusing to sign a loyalty oath. After years of statelessness and homelessness in New York City, Mirikitani developed a deeply personal, politically charged mixed-media practice that blended Japanese techniques with American street art.
