## Exhibitions

### Margot Bergman: *On the other hand*

Sep 8 – Oct 31, 2026 · on view

Bergman’s first paintings on blank canvas, from 2012–2014, shown with the large portraits of imagined women that followed them.

In 2012 Bergman put aside the Chicago thrift-store paintings she had painted faces into since the mid-1990s and turned to blank canvas. The 2012–2014 works, never before shown in New York, mix flowers, animals and figures, as in Parade and Candy Man, and lead to Gloria, a face composed of smaller faces.

They hang with large, raw portraits of imagined women from 2015–2019, with photorealistic eyes and mouths, scribbled hair and bare primed canvas. It is her fifth solo show in New York.

### Marcus Jahmal: *Booty*

Sep 8 – Oct 31, 2026 · on view

New paintings of pirate figures with warped limbs and peg legs, plus floor piles of Swarovski crystals, on the history and myth of piracy.

Jahmal paints pirates drawn from Hollywood and Robert Louis Stevenson rather than historical record: swashbucklers with hook hands, peg legs and wide-brimmed hats, rendered in broad color fields with stretched, oblong anatomy.

Bandanas, jeans and jackets mark them as actors playing a part, even as the scenes of plunder and violence point to piracy’s real ties to colonial trade and slavery. On the floor, piles of Swarovski crystals stand in for plundered treasure.
