Beat the crowds and join fellow members for a visit to the museum before it opens to the public. Enjoy a private viewing of the exhibition Gutai: Splendid Playground, the first U.S. museum retrospective exhibition ever devoted to Gutai, the most influential artists collective and artistic movement in postwar Japan. The exhibition demonstrates Gutai’s extraordinarily bold creative range and importance in the global art world in the 1950s and ’60s. Then, beginning in July, get an exclusive look at Turrell, the first exhibition in a New York museum since 1980 to focuse on James Turrell’s groundbreaking explorations of perception, light, color, and space, with a special focus on the role of site-specificity in his practice.
Become a member today and enjoy this unique opportunity to see the museum and attend many other exclusive events.
