The Review Panel shifts to historical exhibitions for November 30 session, announces Philadelphia lineup

opinion-review · 2026-04-22

On November 30, The Review Panel met to discuss three notable historical exhibitions instead of their usual focus on contemporary art. Panelists Blake Gopnik, Jane Harris, and Christian Viveros-Faune took a closer look at the Regarding Warhol exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a tribute to Lucy Lippard at the Brooklyn Museum, and the revival of The Times Square Show from 1980 at Hunter College. The shift from contemporary shows was due to cancellations and delays caused by Hurricane Sandy. The exhibitions, highlighting art since the 1960s, were deemed significant enough to warrant this change. Also, The Review Panel Philadelphia launched, featuring discussions on five exhibitions at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts with local critics.
