Hank Willis Thomas began asking who gets centered in the American picture as early as 1997. A Thousand Words, one of his earliest photographic series, makes its public premiere at The Photography Show opening next week. 

Using frames held within his compositions, images range from everyday, private moments to national monuments, engaging themes and gestures that have shaped his work for decades to come.

Can fashion photography be dangerous?

Lillian Bassman’s fashion photographs are often so abstract that the clothes are barely visible. Dissolving the garments’ details into atmospheric blur— resisting the industry’s insistence on documenting buttons and bows — her photographs evoke the energy and independence of the modern woman wearing the garment.

📣 On view at The Met — “Lillian Bassman: Bazaar and Beyond” through July 26.

Opening soon | Sebastiaan Bremer: Super Modern Things

📅 Reception: Saturday, April 18, 3–5pm

In an exhibition of new works, Bremer draws on historical images of flowers from Dutch botanical catalogues and still life painting, transforming these sources through photography, ink, and acrylic.

Both historically engaged and deeply personal, the works return to questions long embedded in the language of flowers: What is the true value of beautiful things, and who pays? How does beauty function as power? What do we choose to preserve?

At the same time, the painted surface becomes an intimate record of his attention, memory, and time, as much diary as art history.

In Frida Kahlo Seated with Globe (1938), Manuel Álvarez Bravo rhymes Kahlo’s face with two others: the mirrored sphere beside her arm, and the pre-Columbian carving on the floor behind her. Six years later, photographing Kahlo at the Picasso Exhibition at the Museo de Arte Moderno, he returns to the question of multiple ways of seeing. Standing beside Picasso’s Woman in White — a neoclassical portrait rooted in a European idea of the timeless — Bravo throws Kahlo’s own, indigenous modernity into sharp relief.

As New York marks the season with MoMA’s Frida and Diego: The Last Dream and the Met Opera’s El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego, these photographs give us additional views of Kahlo, portraits that she helped construct with a fellow artist.

Opening today in Savannah: work by Sally Mann is included in Off the Coast of Paradise: Artists and Ossabaw Island, 1961–Now, on view at the Jepson Center for the Arts.

Just south of Savannah, Ossabaw Island’s isolation drew artists, writers, and musicians in the 1960s and 70s through the Ossabaw Island Project and Genesis residencies, fostering a rare environment of experimentation and creative exchange.

For artists concerned with how the American South is pictured and understood, Ossabaw offered a landscape where nature, history, and memory converge. In the 1990s, Mann’s Mother Land series took her from her native Virginia through neighboring Georgia and to Ossabaw Island, reflecting that enduring terrain of Southern landscape and cultural imagination.

Wonderful news: the Los Angeles County Museum of Art has acquired fifteen photographs from Mona Kuhn’s She Disappeared into Complete Silence, drawn from the Paul Ruscha Collection.

Made at Acido Dorado in Joshua Tree, the photographs draw together the human form, architecture, and landscape, shaped by desert light and reflection.

Feels like spring in New York 🌱

In Camera Obscura: View of Central Park Looking North, Spring, 2010, Abelardo Morell brings the season indoors. Using the camera obscura, the canopy of Central Park spills across the walls and table, folding the city’s spring landscape into the room.

Last chance to see Ron Norsworthy’s work in Borderlands: Soft Margins, Hard Truths at Connecticut College’s Cummings Art Galleries.

His three-dimensional collage Trying to Remember the Future is installed against the toile wallpaper he designed early in his career, which also appears within the work itself. Rooted in Black cultural history and personal memory, the wallpaper and collage layer past and present, tracing how experiences, objects, and relationships recur across generations and bloom again in new forms.

At the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lillian Bassman: Bazaar & Beyond traces the arc of Bassman’s influence on American visual culture. 

The exhibition begins with her early work as an art director at Junior Bazaar alongside Alexey Brodovitch, highlighting her inventive editorial designs alongside some of the magazine’s most memorable photographs she later created herself. This work shaped not only how readers dressed, but how they thought about style, culture, and modern life. 

One highlight is Bassman’s 1946 illustration for an essay by Simone de Beauvoir on American college life, where she montaged flags photographed by her husband Paul Himmel with stock glamour imagery, an early glimpse of the experimental eye that she later brought to her own photographs. 

On view through July 26.
