Florine Stettheimer: Painting Poetry is the first major U.S. exhibition in over 20 years of the work of the modernist painter, designer, and poet Florine Stettheimer (1871-1944). It showcases over 50 paintings and drawings in addition to costume and theater designs, photographs, and ephemera, revealing Stettheimer's singular and often satiric vision and significant role in American modern art. The exhibition highlights the artist's distinctly personal style of painting, her position amidst New York's artistic elite and avant-gardes, and her continued influence on artistic practice today. Through September 24, 2017.

| Charlemagne Palestine's Bear Mitzvah in Meshugahland features hundreds of plush toys, including teddy bears, which the artist regards as shamanic representations of the soul. This colorful, fantastical world of visual artist, musician, composer, and performer Charlemagne Palestine (b. 1947, Brooklyn, New York) is influenced by childhood experience and by the artist's Brooklyn Jewish roots. Through August 6, 2017. |

Installed in the lobby of the Jewish Museum, the ongoing series Using Walls, Floors, and Ceilings features an installation by Vivian Suter (b. 1949, Argentina) in her first museum exhibition in the U.S. Suter lives and works in Panajachel, Guatemala, on a former coffee plantation that is abundant with vegetation and surrounded by mountains, volcanoes, and Lake Atitlán. Her work embraces the unpredictability of her natural environment, and her paintings portray its wildness. Through October 22, 2017.
Opening September 15, 2017:
Modigliani Unmasked
|
 |
Modigliani Unmasked is a revelatory exhibition that features early drawings by Amedeo Modigliani (Italian, 1884-1920) that were acquired directly from the artist by Dr. Paul Alexandre, his close friend and first patron. These works-many of which are being shown for the first time in the U.S.- will illuminate how Modigliani's heritage as an Italian Sephardic Jew is pivotal to understanding his artistic output. The exhibition will include approximately 150 works, those from the Alexandre collection as well as a selection of Modigliani's paintings, sculptures, and other drawings from collections around the world.
