"KAWS: WHAT PARTY" |

Brooklyn Museum's biggest exhibit this spring opens tomorrow. You may have seen KAWS' giant cartoon-y characters with X's for eyes around the city, but this is the first time Brooklyn-based artist Brian Donnelly has had a major New York survey of his work, which includes rarely seen graffiti drawings, paintings, smaller collectibles, furniture and his popular "Companion" figures. | |

The New Museum has filled its galleries with a compelling exhibition of artworks by 37 Black artists, including Jean-Michael Basquiat, LaToya Ruby Frazier and Kara Walker, who explore mourning, commemoration, and loss from racist violence in America through their art. | |
