One of the showcased receipts is even for the studded dog collar he wears on the cover of his 1974 live album “Rock ’n’ Roll Animal,” which Reed — in true New Yorker fashion — bought from the West Village sex shop the Pleasure Chest.“His father was an accountant and taught Lou to keep receipts, keep records and all that sort of thing,” said curator Jason Stern, who was Reed’s assistant in his final years and now works with his widow, Laurie Anderson.

Determined Women: Collectors, Artists, and Designers at Hillwood features nearly 100 items from the permanent collection, dating from the 1700s all the way up to today.The exhibition builds on The Houses and Collections of Marjorie Merriweather Post: The Joy of It, a glossy book published last fall and written by Hillwood’s curatorial team led by Chief Curator Wilfried Zeisler, who curated Determined Women.The exhibition is grouped into four sections, opening with a look at the Post family women — including Post and her three daughters — viewed through photographs, portraits, and other memorabilia.That’s followed by a section that focuses on more than twenty influential women as seen through their objects and portraits — a wide-ranging grouping including proto-feminist women from the Age of Enlightenment as well as both ancient and modern rulers — ending with one of Hillwood’s newest acquisitions, a contemporary ceramic piece with images of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Kamala Harris, and Stacey Abrams.Additional contemporary pieces from the museum’s collection, works by Isabelle de Borchgrave and Cindy Sherman inspired by historic pieces collected by Post, will also be on display for the purpose of juxtaposition as well as demonstration of the continued talent of women artists today.A short section focused on historic awards honoring women, such as the Order of St.

hosted more than its fair share of Instagram museums. But the new immersive experience, RiseNY — an assortment of random cultural artifacts paired with a theme-park ride, and shoehorned into an otherwise drab Midtown storefront — might be the most absurd yet. Now in previews in Times Square, this $28-per-person tourist trap offers audiences a “three-part journey” through the five boroughs’ history that will purportedly “help the city soar to new heights” as it “rebound[s] from the pandemic in an extraordinary way,” as the press materials for the exhibit say. In reality, it is a charmless, New York-themed highlight reel of pop art spread across three windowless floors.

This time, the installation is a greenhouse, and the polka dots are replaced with red poppies, echoing one of Kusama’s earliest childhood hallucinations.
