MoMA PS1 has announced the 53 artists selected for the 2026 edition of its quinquennial exhibition, Greater New York. The show, opening April 16, is organized by the museum's in-house curatorial staff and focuses on artists living and working in New York City, with a strong emphasis on early and mid-career practitioners. It notably features only one deceased artist, painter Jay Carrier.
The exhibition is a significant snapshot of the city's contemporary art scene and coincides with both MoMA PS1's 50th anniversary and the 2026 Whitney Biennial, offering a distinct, location-based counterpoint to that thematic survey. Its artist list reveals minimal overlap with the Whitney Biennial, positioning it as a key, independent barometer of artistic activity in New York ahead of the New Museum Triennial later in the year.
