Over the past five days, not one but two New York institutions—Creative Time and the Dia Art Foundation—celebrated their 50th anniversaries, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, on the verge of completing a historic building expansion, held its 13th annual Art+Film gala.
All of this on the eve of what many believe to be the most crucial presidential election of our lifetime. What luck! ARTnews stopped by all three to take the pulse of the art world, as America waits to find out who will be the next president: Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump.
The vibes were—to put it mildly—a little anxious.
