Floors 1, 5

Join us for an after-hours tour of the conceptually rigorous and stylistically diverse work of David Wojnarowicz (1954–1992). David Wojnarowicz: History Keeps Me Awake at Night examines not only the plurality of forms, media, and devices the artist used in his practice but grounds the work in the political, social, and artistic scenes that made up New York City in the 1980s and early 1990s. A wine reception will be open before and after the tours.
