The first American retrospective of the Canadian-born artist Jack Goldstein (1945 - 2003) brings to light his important legacy. A teaching assistant for the conceptual artist John Baldessari and a contemporary of such artists as Cindy Sherman, Sherrie Levine, Laurie Simmons, Barbara Kruger, David Salle and Robert Longo, Goldstein spent his creative years in New York and Southern California and became a central figure in the Pictures Generation of the 1970s and 80s. This comprehensive exhibition frames Goldstein as a pivotal artist of his generation and showcases his influential paintings and films, while also including installations, ephemera, writings, and pioneering sound recordings.

Galleries for 19th- and Early 20th-Century European Paintings and Sculpture

Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art

The galleries for nineteenth- and early twentieth-century European paintings and sculpture reopened in 2007 with renovated rooms and 8,000 square feet of additional gallery space--the Henry J. Heinz II Galleries--to showcase works from 1800 through the early twentieth century, including many works that were not previously on view. The renovated galleries feature all of the Museum's most loved nineteenth-century paintings, which have been on permanent display in the past, as well as works by Bonnard, Vuillard, Soutine, Matisse, Picasso, and other early modern artists. Among the many additions are: a full-room assembly of 'The Wisteria Dining Room,' a French art nouveau interior designed by Lucien Lévy Dhurmer shortly before World War I that is the only complete example of its kind in the United States; Henry Lerolle's enormous 'The Organ Rehearsal' (a church interior of 1885); a group of newly accessioned nineteenth-century landscape oil sketches; and a selection of rarely exhibited paintings by an international group of artists.

New Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia

Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art

On November 1, 2011, the Museum opened a suite of fifteen dramatic 'New Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia.' The greatly enlarged, freshly conceived, and completely renovated galleries house the Metropolitan's renowned collection of Islamic art--one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of this material in the world. Design features within the new space highlight both the diversity and the interconnectedness of the numerous cultures represented here; multiple entryways allow visitors to approach the new galleries--and the art displayed within--from different perspectives. In sequence, the fifteen new galleries trace the course of Islamic civilization over a span of thirteen centuries, from the Middle East to North Africa, Europe, and Central and South Asia.

Gallery for the Art of Native North America

Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Museum's renovated gallery devoted to Native North American art displays approximately 90 works made by numerous American peoples. Ranging from the beautifully shaped stone tools known as bannerstones of several millennia B.C. to a mid-1970s tobacco bag, the objects illustrate a wide variety of cultural background, artistic style and functional purpose, all qualities inherent in the art of the peoples of the large North American continent. Works include wood sculpture from the Northwest Coast of North America, ivory carvings from the Arctic, wearing blankets from the Southwest and objects of hide from the Great Plains. Anchored by the Metropolitan's American Indian holdings drawn from the Michael C. Rockefeller Memorial Collection, the installation is augmented by loans from the well-known private collections of Ralph T. Coe of Santa Fe and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Diker of New York.

Mary and Michael Jaharis Galleries for Byzantine Art and Medieval Europe Gallery

Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art

In 2008, portions of the medieval art galleries were renovated, thanks to the support of Mary and Michael Jaharis.
