New York Summer Shows: 900 Artists, Police Intervention, and Major Exhibitions

O'Flaherty's gallery in the East Village opened 'The Patriot' on July 2022, featuring works by over 900 artists, drawing a crowd of over 1,000 people on Avenue C that required police intervention. The show runs until August 10, 2022. At the Dr. Ronald Mac Nair Park adjacent to the Brooklyn Museum, Karen Zusman's 'The superpower of me' presents black-and-white photographs of children and seagulls at Coney Island, for which she won the Leica Women Award. At David Zwirner in Chelsea, Barbara Kruger's exhibition showcases her iconic image-and-text works digitally revisited, including 'Your body is a battleground'. At Daniel Cooney Fine Art in Chelsea, Donna Ferrato's 'Holy' addresses femininity and domestic violence, a project that began as a Kickstarter-funded book. At the International Center of Photography (ICP) in Lower East Side, 'William Klein: YES' is a major retrospective with over 200 works, including a wall dedicated to Rome and his relationship with Fellini, with large prints displayed without glass as per the artist's wish. The article also notes that a photograph by Francesca Magnani was included in 'The Patriot' alongside works by Clarence Klingebeil, Joshua Davis, Pete Zusman, Michael Ryncavage, and Lala Lonnie.
