A retrospective of the artist whose abstract work reflects life's exuberance is opening this month at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia, and will travel to museums in Washington, D.C.; Nashville; and Georgia.

THE NEWWOMAN BEHINDTHECAMERA

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is showcasing the work of more than 120 female photographers from the 1920s to the 1950s—among them Florestine Perrault Collins and Lola Alvarez Bravo, who rejected ill-conceived stereotypes.

TEAMLAB: CONTINUITY

For their first major U.S. show, at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, the Tokyo-based art collective teamLAB has created whimsical digital ecosystems that depend on visitors' movements, so no two viewings are the same.

SOCIAL WORKS

In his debut exhibition for Gagosian in New York City, newly minted director and curator Antwaun Sargent conceives of space through a multifaceted Black imagination, including pieces from Titus Kaphar and Lauren Halsey.

BEAUTIFUL CREATURES

At the American Museum of Natural History's newly opened Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals, all that glitters isn't gold— it may be labradorite, emerald, or towering amethyst geodes. This summer it gleams with a survey of brilliant critterinspired fine jewelry.

PETERBLAKE: TIME TRAVELLER

Spanning seven decades, Waddington Custot's London show highlights the British artist's keen exploration of collage and his role in the Pop art movement.
