If You’re a History Buff: Death in the Making: Reexamining the Iconic Spanish Civil War Photobook. In the late 1930s, Robert Capa embedded with Republican soldiers in the Spanish Civil War, taking photographs that would come to define 20th century photojournalism. He subsequently turned his and other photojournalists’ images into a book, Death in the Making. This exhibition includes about 75 photographs from the original publication. Through Jan. 9, 2023

If You Prefer a Fresh Perspective: Meret Oppenheim: My Exhibition. You probably know Meret Oppenheim for her fur-lined teacup and spoon. What you are not familiar with is her vast body of collage, paintings and sculpture. Oppenheim, this 200 object-exhibition demonstrates, wasn’t just a revolutionary surrealist; she was a groundbreaking, genre-defying artist who pushed artistic mediums to their breaking point in new and surprising ways. Through March 4, 2023

If You’re Feeling Nostalgic: Edward Hopper’s New York. Has anyone captured the hustle, bustle, beauty and alienation of New York better than Edward Hopper? Installed in the Whitney’s fifth floor, the exhibition is as much a survey of Hopper’s work as a documentation of the city and its many changes. Drawn primarily from the museum’s extensive holdings, the paintings range from the familiar to the largely unseen. Through March 5, 2023

If You’re Hungry: “I’ll Have What She’s Having”. The only thing more quintessentially New York than the Empire State Building is a bagel with cream cheese and lox. In this excellent survey of the origins, architecture, and, yes, cuisine of the deli, the exhibition traces the past, present and possible future of a culinary tradition that, for many, is just as American as apple pie. Through April 2, 2023

If You’re a Conservationist: Sharks. As this profound and hopefully game-changing exhibition demonstrates, sharks are, as the text goes, more threatened than threatening. Tracing sharks’ evolution over the past 450 million years, visitors are led to understand the marvel of the animals’ existence, along with the very real, very immediate threat of their extinction—a threat exacerbated by the misperception that sharks pose serious danger to humans.
