What to see in New York this fall. Museums and Galleries return from summer break with heavy hitters.
A new project premieres as one interactive installation filling the entire rotunda. Unseen photographs, text, videos and sculptures gather around a narrative about the unseen forces shaping our world, timed to the United States’ 250th anniversary. You choose your path.

Polaroids from 1972 and 1973, out of one of the personal albums Warhol kept: collaborators, celebrities, friends at his Montauk house, travels in Europe, his dog. It shows him treating daily life as material and starting portraits with a snapshot.
The first comprehensive Marden survey in New York in twenty years, spanning six decades with museum loans and rarely seen paintings. It follows his lifelong effort to lock image and picture plane together, from landscape-inspired early work to calligraphic paintings.
Shechet’s first New York show with Pace since 2020. Monumental aluminum and steel sculptures curve into biomorphic forms, every cut and weld visible, beside clay works burnished to a sheen without glaze. Her subject: lightness and precarity in solid materials.
Paintings born from over ten years of deep-sea diving. Translucent washes meet precise geometric forms in aquatic blues, a shift from her usual dark palette. Dyson treats water as ancestral knowledge and global politics, studying what humanity builds across it.
Lee Bul’s first exhibition with Hauser & Wirth pairs major new sculptures with recent work. For four decades the Seoul-based artist has examined humanity’s drive to transcend nature through technology. These pieces sit between utopian ambition and inevitable collapse.
