If a theme stands out in this week's list, it is the presence of strong and talented women. With Patty Chang, Myrlande Contant and Amy Sherald All presented in solo exhibitions, it is a great moment to consider the massive skills of these artists half-carrier. And although Rembrandt is the artist who leads the current exhibition of the Jewish museum, Esther's book is inspiration. That said, all the artists of a show on the history of the bipoc -design design at the Ford foundation are really worth the detour. Chang and constant shows end this weekend, so arrive soon! –Natalie Haddad, editor -in -chief
