Subsequent weekend, museums and galleries throughout the town emerge from their summer time slumber to premiere their fall choices. That doesn’t imply it is best to wait to see artwork. We’ve compiled a listing of 10 present exhibitions that proceed into the autumn and winter months. Some are crowd pleasers, reminiscent of Hilma af Klint at MoMA, Moomins creator Tove Jansson on the Brooklyn Public Library, and Crimson Grooms and Mimi Gross on the Brooklyn Museum. Others name for extra important thought or social engagement, as in Ben Shahn on the Jewish Museum, Rashid Johnson on the Guggenheim, and Casa Susanna at The Met. You too can hop a practice to see the elegant woven vessels of Jeremy Frey on the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, or head to The Met’s rooftop on a sunny late-summer day to see the acoustic sculptures of Jennie C. Jones. And for the wet days forward, we’ve included a web based challenge by Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme offered by the Dia Artwork Basis. Get pleasure from, and we’ll be again with an all-new fall checklist subsequent week. —Natalie Haddad, Evaluations Editor
