## Caption

An observation: Four major Manhattan museums are having individual one-person shows of four New York artists. At the whitneymuseum is asherald; themuseumofmodernart has the late #JackWhitten, the guggenheim is opening a retrospective of #RashidJohnson. metmuseum will open a survey of #LornaSimpson. All four artists are represented by the prestigious hauserwirth 

Last spring a similar harmonic convergence occurred with LaToya Ruby Fraizer and Alex Katz and Joan Jonas at MOMA. 

Once, four artists from the same gallery would have raised eyebrows. Shown a lack of creative thinking.  Or confirm  a consolidation of artists at the top of the gallery chain. 
Today: The art world is changing, becoming more open to Black artists and artists-of-color, women, queer, disabled, outsiders, and many others. 

Even as America is under the knife, space is being made; attention is being paid.
