A few of the U.S. museum shows we're most looking forward to in 2023.
Here we are again. It’s 2023, and you’re looking for a list of the most important, must-see exhibitions of the year. And you have come to the right place! Here’s a round-up of the U.S. museum shows you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on, through May.
Ming Smith has been prolifically photographing New York City since the 1970s, and 50 years into that project, curator Thelma Golden is putting a serious look into the artist’s oeuvre. Smith is the first Black woman to have a photograph acquired by the Museum of Modern Art, so it’s fitting the display takes place in that museum’s street-level galleries.
