For the first time in its nearly 230-year history, the world’s largest art museum will be run by a woman: Laurence des Cars.

The nonprofit Athletes for Hope has estimated that 35% of professional athletes experience problems with their mental health, but they’re not often discussed on the world’s largest stages, especially not by players at the top of their careers.

Set in 2020, the new production deploys the backdrop of the opioid crisis, the pandemic, and isolation.

After a hit run in London, “The Collaboration” is putting Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat on Broadway. Costars (and fast friends) Bettany and Pope paint us a picture.

I am here to meet Alicia Keys, who later that day will play the penultimate set in her five-week-long, 22-city Keys to the Summer Tour, concluding at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, the following evening. But hours before she strides onstage to an incantatory arrangement of “Fallin’ ” (the ​​chart-topping lead single from her debut album, Songs in A Minor, now a shocking 22 years old), wearing a coruscating green bodysuit and matching coat from Self-Portrait, a friendly assistant leads m…

Lee, the forthcoming biopic starring Kate Winslet (Vogue’s October cover star) and directed by Ellen Kuras, was envisioned by its creators as an antidote to the more conventional—and rather less inspiring—films that might have been made about Lee Miller (1907–1977). As Antony Penrose, Miller’s son and biographer, told writer Wendell Steavenson, the other scripts that had come his way in years past tended to be “formulaic and traded too much on Lee’s beauty and being a model. They didn’t explore…

About a year and a half before the Whitney Museum of American Art commissioned a public billboard installation from Hadi Falapishi—the joyfully colorful, somewhat narratively ambiguous “Almost There” (2023), depicting a dog, a cat, and a mouse atop a small boat headed for a distant island shore, a smiling human figure propping them up from below—Falapishi already had a vision for its epic closing ceremony. In the spring of 2022, Falapishi had a show called “Young and Clueless” at the Power Stati…

In one way, it feels fitting that Tess McMillan, a model so often exalted for her “pre-Raphaelite” beauty, should also be a talented artist: the shock of that red hair against her skin is downright painterly. Yet McMillan’s canvases, on view this month in her first-ever solo exhibition, “Find Me Where You Left Me,” at Laurence Esnol’s gallery in Paris, strays from any obvious art historical references. Her figures—variously crouched in strange rooms, sprawled in burning fields, and stranded in t…

Whatever your go-to genre—musicals, thrillers, crime dramas, romantic comedies—here’s a roundup of movies to remind you why there’s simply no place like New York. At the best of times, life in New York can be disarmingly cinematic, whether you’re walking through the park (any park!) on a perfect fall day, jammed into a booth at a gorgeous old-style restaurant, or riding the Q train over the East River. The hum and thrum of the city is filled with grace notes—which is why, for decades and decades…

I probably don’t need to tell you that Here We Are, which opened at The Shed’s Griffin Theater last night, has rather a complicated backstory. Directed by Joe Mantello, with a book by Venus in Fur playwright David Ives and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, the sleek, jaunty, and occasionally pitch-black new show—which reimagines (and sutures together) two films by the surrealist Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel, The Discreet Charms of the Bourgeoisie and The Exterminating Angel—was developed in…

After they married, Jo became Ed’s primary model—endlessly gazing through windows, or seated on beds, or standing in the sun—as well as his bookkeeper and liaison with dealers. But while she delighted in her husband’s success—his mounting recognition as a crack observer of urban and small-town life was, after all, keeping the lights on, with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and other major institutions buying and showing Ed’s work by t…

Or did she have a different kind of thread work in mind? O’Keeffe owned several pairs of suede heels from Saks Fifth Avenue, rigorously simple but for the raised seams running down their centers and branching off the sides like the boughs of a tree. If art can do that to the fabric of existence—transform the banal (and bourgeois) into the beguiling—​then what can clothes do to art? While her fondness for dresses (and for skirt suits and jeans and chambray shirts) didn’t quite show up on O’Keeffe…

Sasha Gordon’s first-ever visit to Miami this month was a whirlwind. The Brooklyn-based artist was in town for the opening of “Sasha Gordon: Surrogate Self” at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami—her first solo museum exhibition—and she made the most of it: Between observing the show’s installation, meeting local collectors, supporting friends presenting work of their own during Art Week, and going out at night, she hardly had a moment to catch her breath. “I was supposed to be there for ni…

“Oh, The Wiz?” a friend of his cried, eyes suddenly shining with delight. “That’s a great show!” The Wiz tends to have that effect on people. Between its original Broadway run, starring a young Stephanie Mills, from 1975 to 1979; Sidney Lumet’s 1978 movie adaptation with Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, and Richard Pryor; and countless stagings in school auditoriums everywhere, to know its inspired, all-Black retelling of L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, it seems, is to cherish…

Yet it feels strange to call the 37-year-old a character actor—not only because of his marquee-​idol good looks and reedy six-foot-two frame, but also because, over the past few years, Ben-Adir has developed a knack for playing Great Men. In 2020, shortly after appearing as Barack Obama in Showtime’s The Comey Rule, he popped up again as Malcolm X in Regina King’s One Night in Miami…, a part that won him the Gotham Award for breakthrough actor. (“I was like, ’I didn’t know you could get nominate…

One seldom visits Lincoln Center without experiencing something wonderful, but this week, New Yorkers were treated to an especially memorable (and exquisitely New York) Valentine’s Day at David Geffen Hall. There, Bradley Cooper, Carey Mulligan, and Yannick Nézet-Séguin—beloved music director of the neighboring Metropolitan Opera—convened in the Wu Tsai Theater for a stimulating concert and conversation based on Maestro, Cooper’s magisterial feature film about the lives, work, and marriage of Le…

Before visiting the set of her British Vogue cover shoot in late January, I imagined her regarding the whole ordeal with gracious indifference. (The model in my mind was Ingrid Bergman at the 1975 Academy Awards, dryly telling the audience after her third career win that it was “always very nice to get an Oscar.”) Zendaya has, after all, been working in Hollywood since she was 13; she’s served as an ambassador for Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Tommy Hilfiger, Bulgari, and Lancôme; and, at 27, she’s…

Early on Tuesday evening, the most extraordinary assortment of actors, writers, designers, producers, and good, old-fashioned theater-lovers left all their troubles outside, and plunged headlong into the Kit Kat Club—er, that is, New York’s August Wilson Theatre, where an utterly transporting new revival of John Kander and Fred Ebb’s Cabaret, directed by Rebecca Frecknall and starring Eddie Redmayne, Gayle Rankin, Ato Blankson-Wood, and Bebe Neuwirth, is now playing. Ahead of the show’s opening…

A strange thing happens to time during Stereophonic, playwright David Adjmi and director Daniel Aukin’s sensational play at the John Golden Theatre in New York. The show’s three hours and 10 minutes collapse a full year, from June 1976 to June 1977, that a band—made up of vocalist Diana (Sarah Pidgeon), lead guitarist Peter (Tom Pecinka), keys player Holly (Juliana Canfield), bassist Reg (Will Brill), and drummer Simon (Chris Stack)—spends recording their new album, with engineers Grover (Eli Ge…

If you are sensing a frisson of excitement in the Manhattan area today, that may well be because the 2024 Tony nominees were announced this morning. (Installed at Sofitel New York on West 44th Street, Renée Elise Goldsberry and Jesse Tyler Ferguson made a deeply charming double-act as they read off the categories.) In a season filled with several thrilling debuts—as well as vaunted revivals, reunions, and other happy returns—the list of nominated actors, directors, playwrights, composers, and ot…
