The spiritualist considered her large-scale abstract paintings to be guided by mystical higher powers. But a series of botanical drawings reveals af Klint\u2019s attunement to the natural as well as the supernatural. On show for the first time, these 46 botanical sketches from the spring and summer of 1919 and 1920 uncover the artist\u2019s intent to link the \u201cplant world and the world of the soul\u201d. Closely observed watercolours of native Swedish flora are appended with esoteric diagrams, a visual language first developed in the checkerboard grids of af Klint\u2019s series Atom (1917), which is displayed alongside the drawings. On the Viewing of Flowers and Trees (1922) depicts the lasting impact of the botanical on her practice, while af Klint\u2019s notebooks record plants with the same detailed, scientific precision as her sketches. moma.org\u2018Sargent and Paris\u2019 \u2014 The Metropolitan Museum of Art\u00a0The Met plays host to the largest international exhibition of John Singer Sargent\u2019s work since the turn of the century, presenting almost 100 works in the centenary year of the artist\u2019s death. In partnership with the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay, the exhibition covers the portraitist\u2019s education in Paris, from early sketches and watercolours to his scandalous portraits of high society in the mid-1880s. The notorious \u201cMadame X\u201d (1884) is joined with preliminary studies of the work for the first time. Examining the culture of celebrity in the late 19th-century French capital, the Met considers the clientele and artistic milieu that made Sargent\u2019s fame. metmuseum.orgRashid Johnson, \u2018A Poem for Deep Thinkers\u2019 \u2014 The Guggenheim\u00a0Chicago-born Rashid Johnson\u2019s solo exhibition presents almost 30 years of multidisciplinary practice. With close to 90 pieces encompassing the whole of the Guggenheim rotunda, it is the contemporary artist\u2019s largest exhibition to date. Johnson adopts from literature, philosophy and music, such as the exhibition\u2019s title, a line taken from poet and political activist Amiri Baraka. Black aesthetics and questions of masculinity come to the fore, from photographs of a fictitious African-American secret society to the ceramic and glass shard mosaics of the series Broken Men (2019). The exhibition also includes the monumental steel installation \u201cSanguine\u201d (2025), as well as his 2024 film of the same name, featuring the artist alongside his father and son. guggenheim.orgCandida Alvarez, \u2018Circle, Point Hoop\u2019 \u2014 El Museo del Barrio\u00a0Candida Alvarez returns to the site of her first US exhibition with a triumphant five-decade career review. El Museo del Barrio, whose exhibitions she once curated, provides a long-awaited tribute to the Brooklyn-born \u201cDiasporican\u201d artist\u2019s collage, embroidery and painting, in her first large-scale museum survey. Alvarez\u2019s Puerto Rican roots are a fount of inspiration for her figurative work in the 1970s. The exhibition reveals her turn in the 1990s to more conceptual work, such as the coiled, almost molecular spirals of reinterpreted numericals in \u201cLos Numeros\u201d (1994). Displaying rarely seen works, the exhibition spotlights\u00a0an artist whose pioneering works are often eclipsed by her New York contemporaries. elmuseo.orgSonia Gomes, \u2018\u00d4 Abre Alas!\u2019 \u2014 Storm King Art Center\u00a0The Afro-Brazilian artist Sonia Gomes invites viewers to step outside in her first institutional solo show in the US. Before expansive views of the Hudson Valley, Gomes\u2019s found fabric sculptures hang from tree branches. Marking the sculpture park\u2019s reopening, Gomes\u2019s commission accompanies a survey of her sculptures in Storm King\u2019s indoor galleries. stormking.org\u2018The Gatherers\u2019 \u2014 MoMA PS1\u00a0MoMa\u2019s Long Island City outpost assembles 14 artists who consider the aftershocks of political upheaval and environmental degradation. Through sculpture, discarded materials, architectural installations and documentary film, these international artists, many making their US debut, depict the detritus of overconsumption. Bosnian artist Selma Selman forges motorised machines from scrap metal, while Emilija \u0160karnulyt\u0117\u2019s video \u201cBurial\u201d (2022) documents Lithuania\u2019s decommissioned Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, once a symbol of Soviet technological advancement. momaps1.orgFind out about our latest stories first \u2014 follow FT Weekend on Instagram and X, and sign up to receive the FT Weekend newsletter every Saturday morning<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
