The Sculpture of Louise Nevelson:
Constructing a Legend
May 5 - September 16, 2007
Louise Nevelson (1899-1988) is a towering figure in
20th century American art. She was recognized during her lifetime as one of
America's most prominent and innovative sculptors; and continues to inspire
artists today through her pioneering installations and sculptures made of found
wood.
This exhibition, the first major survey of Nevelson's
work since 1980, includes 66 sculptures, works on paper, and two room-size
masterworks. One of her large installations is being specially reassembled with
loans from twelve museums and private collections including the Art Institute
of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art,
among others. more

Linda Nochlin Lecture
Not Far From Brooklyn:
Growing Up and Getting Old with Art
Thursday, May 3 at 6:30 pm
The distinguished art historian Linda Nochlin will
examine how her upbringing as a Jewish, intellectual, and artistic woman in
Brooklyn more than 50 years ago has shaped her work and scholarship.
Her revolutionary essay, "Why Have There Been No Great
Women Artists" (1970) was significant for introducing a feminist perspective to
the field of art history and criticism. Nochlin is a specialist in the art of
the 19th century and is deeply committed to the study of gender in art and to
the work of women artists, both in the past and present. more

The Salo W. Baron Lecture is endowed by the Trustees of
the Salo W. and Jeannette M. Baron Foundation.

The Jewish Daily Forward:
Embracing an Immigrant Community
On view now through September 17, 2007
The Jewish Daily Forward, founded in 1897 and still
publishing today in English and Yiddish, once boasted a readership larger than
that of the New York Times. This exhibition looks at the newspaper as a window
into life in New York City-particularly during the heyday of Jewish immigrant
life in the first half of the 20th century. The exhibition, which opens on the
110th anniversary of the Forward's first issue, features photographs and
artifacts that document the concerns of these New Yorkers and the way in which
the Forward helped to shape and reflect them. more
Members of The Jewish Museum can get 2 for 1 admission
in the month of May, by showing their JM membership card at the Museum of the
City of New York Admission Desk.
The original Forward Building, at 175 East Broadway,
was named a national landmark. Photograph by Julian Voloj, courtesy of the
Archives of the Jewish Daily Forward.

Enemies: A Love Story
The Magic of Paul Mazursky:
An American Original in the Spotlight
Friday, May 4 - Saturday, May 12, 2007
This is the first ever major retrospective of comic
filmmaker Paul Mazursky. Come and enjoy 11 of his films including the New York
premiere of Yipee: A Journey to Jewish Joy. Somewhere in screenland between the
doomsday hilarity of Woody Allen and the outrageous parody of Mel Brooks lives
a satiric filmmaker whose territory is less savage, just as bracing and even
more optimistic.
Few filmmakers have depicted both New Yorkers and
Hollywood denizens with more zest and humor, and the human condition has rarely
looked as loony as when he gets his hands on it. Mazursky will appear in person
to introduce and answer questions at several of the screenings.
