From the otherworldly disorder of "And You're Wondering How A Top Floor Could Replace Heaven" to the ritualistic crescendo of "A Little Change Could Go a Long Ways," City of Caterpillar remains a monument to loss in the face of forces larger than ourselves, something we'll never stop being in awe of.

With seven tracks ranging in length from long to longer, "Blackstar" — which dropped Friday from Sony Music — is among Bowie's most macabre and ritualistic records, all skittering jazz drums and washes of dark energy, an unsettlingly shifty landscape of outer-space nightmares held together only by the Thin White Duke's pulsing, mournful vibrato itself.

At the Guggenheim, it is the first in a terrific selection of paintings and drawings that have raised my opinion of his two-dimensional work, which unfortunately is far better known for the monotonous and largely mud-colored monochrome, ritualistic portraits from his later years, for which he demanded direct gazes from his sitters as he excavated their heads in pictorial space.

Among the artists whose work they collected and championed were the painter Johnnie Swearingen (216–22016), who came from a town near Huntsville, a city north of Houston where the Smithers grew up and first met, and Charlie Willeto (1897–1964), a New Mexico-based Navajo whose painted-wood sculptures broke his tribe's taboo against making figurative art for non-ritualistic purposes.

Combine those elements with a prose style that is literary — or rather "literary" — without being difficult, and an undeniably true social message (that rape is very bad, and so are old-boy networks that perpetuate it in ritualistic form), and it seems as if "The Club" is almost ingeniously designed for success: a guilty pleasure, but one we can leave sitting out on our coffee tables without a whiff of embarrassment.
