- Kerry James Marshall has a solo exhibition at the National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.). In the Tower, Marshall’s first exhibition in Washington, explores a sequence of works that both precede and follow his piece Great America, which was acquired by the National Gallery in 2011. The exhibition is on view through December 7.
- Richard Serra‘s drawing, Double Rift #5, will be on view for a limited time at the Yellowstone Art Museum (Billings, Montana). Double Rift #5 is part of a series of works for which Serra applied oil-based paint stick to handmade paper, heightening the sense of mass.
