Mid-Career Retrospectives & Surveys in NYC (May 2026)

8 mid-career retrospectives and surveys are on view at NYC galleries and institutions this May. These are not new-artist debuts and not full late-career museum retrospectives — they are the in-between shows where a gallery or non-profit takes stock of an artist with twenty or thirty years of practice and frames the arc.

Below: the list — title, artist, gallery, neighborhood, end date — and a sentence on what each show is doing.
