In Gertrude Stein’s canonical stream-of-conscious poem, Sacred Emily, she wrote, “Rose is a rose is a rose.” In Proto-Heroine at Sarah Brook Gallery, the collection of works seem to be saying, “Woman is a woman is a woman.”

Stein dedicated the poem to her lover, Alice. Sarah is dedicating this show to all women, specifically mothers. Stein’s poem can appear to be disconnected or disjointed, but that general feeling is emblematic of all existence, is it not? This is especially true for women, who tend to have unreasonable expectations placed upon them and often receive a disproportionately disappointing amount of gratitude for the amount that they do simply to keep this world spinning.

Kathryn Markel Fine Arts presents Ecstatic Earth, featuring new paintings by Marilla Palmer. This is her sixth solo exhibition with the gallery. On this body of work Palmer writes, "Where is Mother Nature? Wondered Goethe. “She is the only artist; arriving, without a trace of effort, at perfection, at the most exact precision, though always veiled under a certain softness.” Working so directly with nature makes it feel like I’m collaborating, but with an unpredictable partner. Who knows what will appear in my studio garden, the forest or in the coral reefs? How will the petals change when pressed or if the wet watercolor, interference paint or sequins will capture the ecstasy of what I see? I find the tiny steps and evanescence of what Goethe called nature’s dance fascinating, even hallucinatory. “We live in her midst and know her not. She is incessantly speaking to us, but betrays not her secret.” wrote Goethe.

Almine Rech New York, Tribeca presents 'Skin of a Storm', Inès Longevial's third solo exhibition with the gallery.

Skin cells are among the most rapidly renewed in the human body, only to be outpaced by varied gastrointestinal organs, elements of blood, and the cervix. Skin is the peel of our human body, a protective layer that encapsulates every other sensitive and squishy slice. Even as we decorate, bruise, and rejuvenate skin, it absorbs time, transforming for all to see. Skin can be a map, a projection—a mole or a scar, soft hands, a knobby knee, and a sweat-laden upper lip can rustle memories awake, occupying a space between seeing and feeling.

Mary Sipp Green’s evocative landscapes transcend the boundaries of realism, inviting the viewer into a world shaped by memory, light, and atmosphere. Her signature skies — layered with subtle, radiant hues — do not merely depict a scene; they reveal its emotional and spiritual resonance.

Entitled Mythology, this exhibition brings together works from the 1960s to 2000 and explores the artist’s iconography and the symbols that underlie it. The Nanas remain Niki de Saint Phalle’s emblem, but many other figures populate her work. Whether animals, monsters or hybrids, her figures often derive from mythology and tend towards a double meaning.

The Delaware Division of the Arts’ Mezzanine Gallery is pleased to present “Seeds of Life”, a solo exhibition of collage works by Delaware artist Jennifer Hintz Eggers. The show will be on view from June 6 to July 25, 2025, with a free opening reception on Friday, June 6, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.

“Seeds of Life” reflects Eggers’ deeply personal exploration of early motherhood. Her evocative oil paintings beautifully weave sacred geometric patterns, branching lines, and biomorphic “mammary flowers” inspired by physiological forms. These meticulously composed images layer rich colors and potent symbolism, emphasizing life’s cyclical, persistent, and hopeful nature.

Monday through Friday,
from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m

Jack Shainman Gallery presents Genesis, an exhibition of new work by Claudette Schreuders, the artist’s eighth solo exhibition with the gallery. Bringing together figurative sculptures made in both wood and bronze, Genesis reimagines scenes and characters from the suburban landscape of Cape Town that Schreuders calls home. Using the raw material of her own life as the foundation to create portraits that are equally archetypal and idiosyncratic, Schreuders explores how specific forms can convey universal truths and how personal history remains fundamentally connected to social reality.

Gagosian presents Roman Meal, an exhibition of two new sculptures by Kathleen Ryan at 17–19 Davies Street, London.

Berry Campbell Gallery presents its first exhibition of the work of Lucia Wilcox (1899–1974), whose extraordinary life began with her youth in Beirut and unfolded at the center of the Paris and New York art worlds. Residing in East Hampton from the 1940s onward, Lucia Wilcox served as a vital link between European émigrés, such as Fernand Léger, Max Ernst, and Yves Tanguy, and Abstract Expressionists, such as Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock, and Elaine and Willem de Kooning. With solo exhibitions at Sidney Janis Gallery in the late 1940s and Leo Castelli Gallery in the early 1970s, the New York Times described her life in 1973 as “intertwined in the history of twentieth-century art.” This marks the first exhibition of Lucia Wilcox’s work by the gallery after announcing the representation of her Estate.

Yancey Richardson presents Conjurer, an exhibition by Greek artist Maria Antelman, her first with the gallery. Bringing together work made over the past five years, the exhibition highlights Antelman’s unique approach to photography in which her lyrical and experimental approach to imagery and montage is combined with a sculptural sensibility and attention to the photograph as an object in three dimensions. Through her merging and splicing together of images—those from the body and from nature—Antelman endeavors to re-mystify our understanding of the natural world.

Oscillating between chance and control, Barbara Nicholls investigates the possibilities and limitations of pigment, water and paper, translating her experience of the landscape into abstract watercolours. While drawing, she reflects on natural formations encountered or imagined: tide mark lines on beaches, creeping glaciers and moraine deposits, cliffs and quarries with their shifting forms of geological strata revealing traces of past events and the slow movements of the earth.
