Welcome back to another issue of The Art List!
There are several new additions in this newsletter's running gallery exhibitions section, so be sure to check that out.
A few exhibitions I saw last week that are well worth a visit include: the Dan Flavin show of light works at David Zwirner, Joseph Beuys’s drawings at Thaddaeus Ropac, Wynnie Mynerva’s masterful fleshy pink and red paintings at Gathering, and this group show at Brooke Bennington.
Hope you enjoy these recommendations.
