Join ArtTable for an intimiate look at the first survey exhibition in the United States of Marta Minujín, a defining force of Latin American art whose trajectory intersected with the major artistic developments of the postwar period while reflecting a singular spirit and vision infused by her sharp intellect, irreverent humor, and performative presence. Hosted by The Jewish Museum, this tour will be led by Associate Curator, Rebecca Shaykin.
This extensive exhibition includes nearly 100 works organized to reflect Minujín’s bold experimentation over six decades. The exhibition charts Minujín’s influential career in Buenos Aires as well as time spent in Paris, New York, and Washington, DC, through a range of pioneering, mattress-based soft sculptures; fluorescent large-scale paintings; psychedelic drawings and performances; and vintage film footage. The artist’s ephemeral works – happenings, participatory installations, and monumental public art – are presented through rarely-seen photographs, video, and other documentation.
Admission:
- ArtTable Members – $10
- Member Guests – $20
- Public – $25

Rebecca Shaykin is an Associate Curator at the Jewish Museum, where she has worked since 2010. She is co-curator of Marta Minujín: Arte! Arte! Arte! (2023, with Darsie Alexander). In 2019, she organized the critically-acclaimed Edith Halpert and the Rise of American Art; the accompanying catalogue was a New York Times Critic’s Pick and winner of the 2019 National Jewish Book Award (Visual Arts). Additional projects include: Roberto Burle Marx: Brazilian Modernist (2016, with Jens Hoffmann and Claudia J. Nahson), Helena Rubinstein: Beauty Is Power (2014, with Mason Klein); and The Radical Camera: New York’s Photo League, 1936-1951 (2011, with Mason Klein and Catherine Evans). Shaykin has played a vital role in the museum’s acquisitions program, bringing works by Candice Breitz, Elinor Carucci, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Deborah Kass, Kali Spitzer, and Carrie Mae Weems into the collection. Previously, Shaykin worked at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum, where she assisted on Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958–1968 (2010) and Kiki Smith: Sojourn (2010).
