Read MoreThe curators of the 2017 Whitney Biennial, the Whitney’s Nancy and Fred Poses Associate Curator Christopher Y. Lew and independent curator Mia Locks, have spent the run-up to the U.S. art scene’s celebrated biannual checkup visiting artists’ studios from coast to coast. What they’ve brought back shows a diverse and engaged art community in this country, pushing the limits of medium and subject. The Biennial offers opportunities to reassess the works of older artists and how they continue to contribute to the conversation—some of the venerable established artists represented this year include Jo Baer, Larry Bell, and John Divola. But it’s that glimpse and glimmer of what is up and coming, fresh, and new in contemporary art that draws us in, and keeps the debate lively, year after year. Below we’ve picked 10 young artists to keep an eye out for at this year’s Whitney Biennial, with works fresh from the studio, in painting, sculpture, installation, and video.
Read MoreAnd we’re back. After a three-year hiatus intended to allow Whitney Museum curators to break in their palatial new home in the Meatpacking District, the Whitney Biennial has returned in very fine form, with an intensely satisfying display of 63 artists and collectives across two full floors and a few other spaces.

Read MoreThis year’s fellowship awards from the John S. Guggenheim Foundation were presented to a total of 24 artists working in the field of Fine Arts; 14 artists in the category of Film-Video; 11 in Photography.
Read MoreThe winner of an art prize is declared. Does the award ensure more than a media-storm of fame and notoriety for the recipient? Of course, it will provide a means, a vital resource to build up strength of time and materials. And it does invariably function as a coveted add-on or perhaps extension of the branding of a private collection, foundation or art museum. Looking over our shoulder though, will we see the work chosen as an embodiment of the zeitgeist, as a kind of a memorial to a bygone age?
