| "The Polish Rider" ~~ Larry Rivers |
We’re delighted to invite you to Crisis of the Image, our upcoming exhibition Apr.1 - May 20 at Westbeth Art Center, New American Art Gallery #223, 55 Bethune Street, New York.
This presentation brings together the work of eighteen visionary artists whose practices we deeply admire—each offering a distinct perspective while engaging in a broader dialogue around the image in contemporary art.
Please join us for the reception April 1 from 6–8 PM.
We are also pleased to announce that the New American Art Gallery will launch on the Bloomberg Connects Arts and Culture app on April 1. For those in New York City, we warmly encourage you to join us in person. If you’re elsewhere, we invite you to explore the exhibition, along with highlights from our Permanent Collection, online via Bloomberg Connects.
It has been a true pleasure collaborating with the Bloomberg team on this project.

Crisis of the Image April 1 - Curated by Phoebe Legere
Note: As our opening coincides with the first night of Passover, the evening will include a brief, optional Seder-inspired intervention.
Rather than a full ritual, this will take the form of a minimal, participatory gesture engaging themes of memory, liberation, and transmission. A small number of symbolic elements and a shared prompt will structure the moment.
Offered with care and respect for Jewish tradition, this intervention sits within the exhibition’s broader inquiry into image, narrative, and lived experience.
