Now’s the Time: Recent Acquisitions

Co-curator

Now’s the Time: Recent Acquisitions brought together recent acquisitions of the Guggenheim Museum that share formal and thematic concerns that cut across traditional aesthetic categories. Whether embodying the fragmented modes of perception engendered by online worlds, or insisting on the meditative space of painting and the poetics of objects, the works on view map the contours of a rapidly changing contemporary art landscape.

It was curated by Carmen Hermo and Lauren Hinkson (Associate Curator, Guggenheim Museum).

Artists: Walead Beshty, James Casebere, William Cordova, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Christiane Feser, Wayne Gonzales, Mark Grotjahn, Lyle Ashton Harris, Shirazeh Houshiary, Anish Kapoor, Barbara Kruger, Josephine Meckseper, R.H. Quaytman, Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Alexandre Singh, Jiro Takamatsu, Ryan Trecartin, Danh Vo, Ai Weiwei, and Hank Willis Thomas.
