It would be a bald faced lie to say that I seriously plan on attending all the shows listed here this evening, which barely represents 10 per cent of the 130+ exhibitions opening in NYC Thursday, September 20. Apart from there being a limit to the amount of viewing and schmoozing possible within two hours, the shows are actually in three boroughs! But grabbing my attention are some damned excellent artists, intriguing historic subjects, personal friends and even an artcritical contributor. Two of my guests’ picks for The Review Panel on September 20 open today. This is the first TIPS column of the season: more will follow, from various hands, exploiting the wonder of editing and research that is our listings section here at artcritical. THE LIST, the most comprehensive guide of its kind available, we believe, of art exhibitions in New York and beyond, has been revamped this summer under the guidance of Andrew Ginzel who for many years labored over a PDF file of goings on in the New York art world which he emailed weekly to a burgeoning and dependent circle. For the full roster of shows opening Thursday, as indeed the other days of the week, see the WEEK AT A GLANCE feature. THE LIST also includes a full guide of current shows, organized by neighborhood and now including Philadelphia, Hudson and the Hamptons; a selection of future shows; and lectures and events.
