Hillary and her husband's never-ending, murky money-grubbing; her meticulous image-molding; her Wall Street ties and secret speeches to Goldman Sachs; her adherence to said establishment's obsessive preoccupation with free-trade deals over anything else in American life—including climate change, massive economic disruption, and the rupturing of countless middle- and working-class communities—had come to shed a sinister glare over even the most innocuous events in her life.

The problem is partly structural: Eyre and Munro have leaned heavily on Lucy's childhood, all but erasing the novel's thread involving literary mentorship, and certain details, such as Lucy's enduring preoccupation with the Nazis (her father, stationed in Germany, killed two local boys at point-blank range; her husband's German father was a prisoner of war; and, with almost apologetic gratuitousness, Lucy notes that her angelic doctor is Jewish), fail to cohere.

Critics of neoconservatism might argue that this preoccupation with ideological purity has also contributed to its policy failings — that in the runup to invading Iraq, neoconservatives were more focused on high-minded arguments about democracy promotion and the nature of Arab autocracy than they were on the nitty-gritty of Iraqi sectarian politics or post-conflict reconstruction; that after Iraq collapsed, neoconservatives remained too committed to their ideals to ask whether some of those ideals had led them astray.

The exhibition embraces four themes that have distinguished New York: Money (New Amsterdam began as, in effect, a for-profit company), diversity (which fostered tolerance or, at any rate, indifference to most minorities — with the conspicuous exception of more than two centuries of enslaved blacks, illustrated by a 1770 slaves-for-sale newspaper advertisement), density (which produced slums, skyscrapers and the city's recyclable real estate) and creativity (which percolated from the vitality demanded by the density, diversity and preoccupation with making money).

Granted, there are certain bridges to be found: Broodthaers's dialogue with Mallarmé begins in the poetry and culminates in his reimagining of Un coup de dés as nonverbal abstraction; the eagles that appear several times in the poems, as pointed out by Elizabeth Zuba in her translator's note to the Siglio volume, adumbrate his later preoccupation with the bird (the line "O Melancholy bitter castle of eagles" from My Ogre Book is even carried over into one of his Department of Eagles museum projects).

This preoccupation with what it means to be seen/not seen runs throughout this nearly half-century survey, from the early body print "Spade (Power for the Spade)" (1969) to recent works, such as "Untitled" (2015), a thinly painted, brushy abstraction on canvas covered by the kind of ratty, orange plastic tarp seen at construction sites and used by the homeless, and "Untitled" (2014), an antique wood-and-plaster framed glass mirror more than 10 feet high, with two sheets of gray, galvanized steel haphazardly attached to its front.

This year's ceremony was peppered with pointed jokes and attacks on the sitting president — jokes that began in host Stephen Colbert's monologue with a dig at Trump's preoccupation with never winning an Emmy for The Apprentice and continued with an outrage-inducing cameo from Trump's former White House communications director Sean Spicer, several mentions of the president in acceptance speeches, and a 9 to 5 reunion that saw Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton take the stage and not-so-subtly imply that Trump is a lying bigot.
