Featuring styles like the lindy hop, salsa, hip-hop, bhangra, vogue, and more, the show invites visitors to explore how New Yorkers have used dance to express joy, resistance, and identity. Through film, fashion, music, photography, and immersive installations, Urban Stomp captures the energy, creativity, and cultural fusion that define New York's dance floors.

Neue Galerie
German Masterworks from the Neue Galerie
Vasily Kandinsky (1866–1944) demonstrated an ambition to go beyond conventional easel painting. His famous large paintings with musical and theatrical associations transformed into veritable environments. Black Form (1923) – now on view at Neue Galerie New York in German Masterworks from the Neue Galerie – is a stunning example of Kandinsky's development of a revolutionary abstract style. The exhibition features highlights from the museum's extensive collection of German art from the period 1890 to 1940.
