Takashi Murakami @ Gagosian Gallery, 522 W 21st St, ends 7/11 exhibition website
121 brand new works that perfectly replicate Hiroshige’s famous Japanese woodblock prints (and a few Van Goghs) at a massive scale.

Thomas Demand @ Matthew Marks Gallery, 523 W 24th st, ends 6/28 exhibition website
New unbelievable photographs of meticulous paper models (yes it’s all paper) are hung in a cave-like space that’s also created from a photograph of paper.

Willem de Kooning @ Gagosian Gallery, 555 W 24th St, ends 7/11 exhibition website
Speaking of big…Don’t miss a more-than-you-expect curation of many de Kooning paintings and a MASSIVE jaw-dropping sculpture in the 2nd room, shown indoors for the first time in ~30 years.

Alicja Kwade @ PACE Gallery, 510 W 25th St, ends 8/15 exhibition website
Clocks in massive reflective tubes! The secret that most visitors miss is to find the glass sculptures in the 2nd room and look straight down to see what’s inside.

Andy Warhol @ Skarstedt, 547 W 25th St, ends 6/28 exhibition website
Maybe Warhol’s most controversial works (you’ve been warned), these abstract paintings were created by pee’ing on copper or gold paint to cause a chemical reaction!

Toyin Ojih Odutola @ Jack Shainman Gallery, 46 Lafayette St, ends 7/18, exhibition link
Another knock-out in this beautiful 130-year-old bank hall. Here Ojih Odutola new figurative paintings captivate with impressive technique & emotion.

Randy Wray @ Karma Gallery, 22 E 2nd St & 188 E 2nd St, ends 7/3 exhibition link
My favorite paintings on view find resonance between something viscerally gross and poetically beautiful. The longer you stare, the more colors & complexities come to focus. See paintings first at “22” location, then drawings are “188” location if you liked them.
