Field Trip: New York

by HG Masters

April in New York was a period of transition: for museums, between the heady shows of the winter season and the summer blockbusters; for galleries between exhibitions timed to open during the Armory art fair in March, and the first edition of Frieze New York in early May. Despite what some have seen as a creeping provincialism in recent years, New York institutions are increasingly attune to—or, according to others, desperately scrambling to keep pace with—developments on the international art scene. Here’s a tour some of the artists from across Asia and the Middle East whose work was spotted at institutions big and small.

New York City in miniature: located at the Queens Museum, the Panorama of the City of New York, originally built in 1964 for the World’s Fair, and since updated, is now a "9,335-square foot architectural model that includes every single building constructed before 1992 in all five boroughs.”
