As usual for the past few years, I also compiled a list of about 30 exhibitions at museums around the country that are on view now or will be on view this spring and summer for The New York Times‘s Museums special section.
That’s not so easy. I look at hundreds of exhibition descriptions and images, and I strive to choose a balance to appeal to many tastes. So there’s always a mix of Old Masters (though few this year), 19th Century European, American, Asian and modern and contemporary art. Sometime I throw in a manuscript exhibit if there’s a good one.
Here’s a link to the list this year. Â It’s accompanied by a well-worth-seeing slide show of sixteen images.
I’ve pasted one more here that’s not in the slide show, a Manet that goes on view in Richmond at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts tomorrow.
