Five Must-See Fall Exhibitions

Winter is coming — before we go into our deep annual Netflix hibernation, we always make it a point to trek out to see all the gallery and museum shows we’ll probably be skipping once the sky darkens and snow starts piling up. Below are our five must-see picks for this month, from the big Agnes Martin retrospective opening at the Guggenheim this weekend to a small group show of Sight Unseen favorites Chiaozza, John Hogan, Calico Wallpaper, and Amanda Ringstad. One of these shows has already closed (a show of charming portraits “painted” in sand, which we couldn’t help including) and one is about to (Andrea Zittel’s furniture-like forms, simultaneously being exhibited in the Mojave Desert), but go see the rest if you’re in New York City (or Alfred?) in the coming weeks.
