Open Season in New York

NEW YORK—There were no fewer than 100 openings at New York galleries last Thursday, and dozens followed throughout the weekend. While seeing any actual art through the crowds who turned out was near impossible—nor really the point of these predominantly social events—ARTINFO returned post-opening to a few shows that managed to catch our eye. If you're struggling to sort through all the exhibitions to see this week, here is an opinionated, although by no means exhaustive, list of our picks to help you navigate the start of the season. It ranges from shows at well-entrenched Chelsea galleries to the vanguard of a growing number of Lower East Side spaces. We also ventured out of the galleries to include one site-specific work that stood out above many other exhibitions that have opened the season.
