While it has lost some of its luster over the years, it's still considered a barometer of American art today. Read what our critics and editors thought of the show below. While we're talking New York, do check out our useful guide of art shows to see across the city this spring. We're expecting 60 degrees Fahrenheit this weekend. Happiness is just around the corner. Also, RIP DePaul Art Museum, whose imminent closure has upset many in the art community. Some say this hard decision could've been avoided, and they're fighting against it. Read Seph Rodney on Carol Bove at the Guggenheim, John Yau on Cordy Ryman's abstractions, Julia Curl on Lisette Model's forbidden jazz photos, and lots more. Also, did you know you could be suffering from a "creative hangover" after a productive day at the studio? Luckily, it's curable. Please support our work by becoming a Hyperallergic member. It's less than $8 a month for you, but a huge help for us. Enjoy reading and have a great weekend. *—Hakim Bishara, editor-in-chief* --- [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/2026/03/whitney-bi.jpg)](https://hyperallergic.com/first-impressions-from-the-2026-whitney-biennial/) Young Joon Kwak, “Divine Dance of Soft Revolt (Anna, Travis, Me)” (2024)(photo Lisa Yin Zhang/**Hyperallergic*) ### [First Impressions From the 2026 Whitney Biennial](https://hyperallergic.com/first-impressions-from-the-2026-whitney-biennial/) Here’s what we liked, what we didn’t like, and what we’re still working through. | Lisa Yin Zhang, Lakshmi Rivera Amin, and Hrag Vartanian ### [The Polycrisis Sublime of the Whitney Biennial](https://hyperallergic.com/the-polycrisis-sublime-of-the-whitney-biennial/) It felt like the world as I experience it: no clear path, but enough moments of beauty to convince me to put one foot in front of the other. | Aruna D’Souza ### [Making a Mess With CFGNY](https://hyperallergic.com/making-a-mess-with-cfgny/) We spoke to the fashion collective, who will be in the Whitney Biennial and shows at Pioneer Works and Amant, about collectivity and taking chances. | Lisa Yin Zhang --- ## Latest News [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/2026/03/Zacharius-vis-high-res-sRGB-1-1.jpg)](https://hyperallergic.com/long-lost-rembrandt-goes-on-display-at-the-rijksmuseum/) Detail of Rembrandt van Rijn, “The Vision of Zechariah in the Temple” (1633) (photo by Rene Gerritsen, courtesy Rijksmuseum) - After a two-year study by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a painting held for decades in a private collection [has been attributed to Rembrandt van Rijn](https://hyperallergic.com/long-lost-rembrandt-goes-on-display-at-the-rijksmuseum/). - Diya Vij, vice president of curatorial and arts programs at Powerhouse Arts, will be NYC’s next culture commissioner.
