Best of the Season

The biennial survey exhibition, Best of the Season: Selected Highlights from the 2000-01 Manhattan Exhibition Season, celebrated contemporary artists, some just emerging onto the art scene, others who may have been at the height of distinguished careers. The result was a demonstration of the extraordinary variety and vigor of the 2000-01 Manhattan art season.

The twenty-two artists were selected from hundreds of gallery exhibitions over the past year. Visitors were invited to walk inside Joyce Kozloff’s ambitious globe sculpture titled Targets and delight in Christian Marclay’s non-traditional approach to music in Guitar Drag. Verne Dawson’s fantastical landscape paintings transported viewers to foreign landscapes, while Edward Burtynsky’s exquisite photographs made earthbound landscapes seem exotic.

The exhibition featured the work of the following artists: Polly Apfelbaum, Paul Brown, Edward Burtynsky, Jonathan Callan, R. Crumb, Verne Dawson, Steve DiBenedetto, Neil Farber, Tim Gardner, Terry Haggerty, Hilary Harkness, Jane Harris, Sabine Hornig, Yun-Fei Ji, Brad Kahlhamer, Joyce Kozloff, Christian Marclay, Roy McMakin, Michael Rees, Andres Serrano, Charles Spurrier, and William Willis.

Curated by associate curator Jessica Hough, assistant director Richard Klein, and Museum director Harry Philbrick.
