Three to see: New York

The first comprehensive museum survey of work by the late American avant-gardist Bruce Conner, titled It's all true, opened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York on 3 July (until 2 October). The exhibition is the first major survey of the artist’s career in 16 years and includes more than 250 works including experimental films, videos, performances, drawings, prints, photographs, photograms and assemblage. The show travels to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art on 29 October (until 22 January 2017). At the Pace Gallery, Blackness in Abstraction (until 19 August) explores how Post-war and contemporary artists use the colour black in abstract sculptures, films and paintings (especially in monochrome). The works, by artists including Robert Irwin, Sol LeWitt and Oscar Murillo, were made between the 1940s and today. The show, which is organised by Adrienne Edwards (a curator at Performa and curator-at-large at the Walker Art Center), is an extension of her doctoral dissertation. The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum continues its first survey of work by László Moholy-Nagy in nearly 50 years. Moholy-Nagy: Future Present (until 7 September) includes more than 300 collages, films, paintings, photographs, sculptures and an installation titled The Room of the Present, which was conceived around 1930 but never built in Moholy-Nagy's lifetime. The work reflects his interest in achieving a gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art) that combines art, technology and life.
