other · 2026-09-08

Hyperallergic's autumn preview edition showcases 15 museum exhibitions throughout the United States, featuring artists such as Grandma Moses at Crystal Bridges and Karon Davis at the Seattle Art Museum. Recently, the Canton Museum of Art in Ohio launched a tribute exhibition for the late artist and athlete Ernie Barnes, with his daughter Erin Barnes actively working to preserve his artistic legacy. The publication also discusses a contentious residency program by Abstract Mag that left Georgia applicants without responses, impacting emerging artists. Additionally, an Argentine couple has been mandated to return a Nazi-owned artwork to its rightful heirs, while the Trump administration has threatened to sever ties with the Smithsonian over perceived ideological biases. Other highlights include a feature on immigrant women's needlework circles in Queens and an opinion piece by Khatchig Mouradian regarding a painting and poem from Dhour El Choueir, Lebanon. The issue also recommends 15 art books for fall, including titles by Guadalupe Rosales, Christine Sun Kim, Fady Joudah, and Elizabeth Alexander. Sponsored segments feature NORR COHAN's exhibition pairing Chaim Soutine with Ilana Savdie, Mitchell Johnson's solo exhibition at Castle Hill, and the Asian Cultural Council's upcoming 2027 grant cycle.
