August Review 2020
Today we initiate our sixth annual August Review. Every year we reflect on the exhibitions that were especially memorable to us since the previous August. We will re-publish one show each day, marked by “AR:” in the title, while continuing to cover new exhibitions daily.
At the end of the month we will provide an “August Review Index.” The previous five seasons’ selections are available here: 2015, 2016, 2017 2018, and 2019.
