In Study for the Breakup — Maps (2010), displayed in a museum-like vitrine table, artist Michael Rakowitz pairs a map of Jerusalem with a map of Liverpool, along with a Beatles tour circuit and setlist, a piece of stone from the Cavern Club (where the Beatles played), and a piece from the Western Wall of Jerusalem.

Although she owns some iconic pieces, including a set of early Philippe Starck barrel chairs around the dining table and a tea set by one of her idols, Giò Ponti, they sit in juxtaposition with Soviet toy soldiers and a vitrine she has fashioned by replacing the leather top of a Communist-era table with glass.

In the adjacent glass vitrine, a particularly memorable grouping of eroticized sculptures shows studies for "The Gates of Hell," while the far side of the gallery space focuses on heads and portraits, concluding with a video on the inner workings of Rodin's studio and his numerous assistants, in a sense debunking the myth of the solitary artist as sole creator.

The installation is comprised of bright lights, padded benches, photographic portraits of Black female writers, a flatscreen TV with headphones to see and hear the artist speak about the project, a vitrine holding hallowed volumes such as Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God and Audre Lorde's Sister Outsider, and two large bookshelves laden with books and lush red flowers.

Similar GIFs play on all the sculptures in the series: an iPhone covered with dried-out contact lenses, and another covered in lipstick; one iPad is painted with pink nail polish, and a laptop is wrapped in fur; a scattered display of cheap makeup and outdated computer cords sit in a vitrine below the sculptures, lying together as if naturally strewn across some hybrid vanity-desk.

If their pieces were placed in closer proximity, the visitor could more easily see how his "Bust of St. Francis of St. Adelaide" and her "India Blue" say all kinds of things about sculptures' relationship with pedestals — the latter (Booker) looking like it wants to escape from its perch, the former (Wiley) incorporating its own little pedestal, while being placed, jewel-like, inside a vitrine.

In another piece performed at the Wadsworth Atheneum, "Transfer: The Maintenance of the Art Object: Mummy Maintenance: With the Maintenance Man, the Maintenance Artist, and the Museum Conservator" (21984), Ukeles used the vitrine housing an Egyptian mummy to engineer a three-part role exchange between maintenance worker, artist, and conservator; in the process, she forwarded a quiet but substantive critique of the way art institutions assign value.

Drawing on their remarkable Lunder Collection of old master prints, the Colby curators set up a dialogue between Spero's work and two of Goya's famous print series', Los Disparates (The Follies, 1815-23), which ran through early November and was replaced with additional works by Spero, and Los Caprichos (The Caprices, 1797–98), a bound copy of which is currently displayed in a vitrine.

Sometimes they get captioned as in a children's book: "A is for Andy Warhol" (a soup can dented enough for the apex of an A); "D is for Damien Hirst" (a shark in a vitrine, swimming from one half of the D to the next, à la "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living"); a shiny, "J for Jeff Koons" balloon animal.

A small wooden and steel cart with wheels references traditional shoe shiners who hock their services in the streets of Mexican cities; a worn and haggard cage serves as a vitrine for a serpentine sculpture evocative of Mesoamerican antiquities; and a splintered wooden plinth displays an eerie but sweet ceramic "la Santa Muerte" (Holy Death) figure, lovingly deposited within a brass and glass container.

At one point, while circling the galleries two space for the second or third time, I stopped to peer into a vitrine and saw photographs of a young woman sitting in the apartment of Andre Breton when he lived in New York during World War II. In another photograph she and sister are hugging Frida Kahlo, who is recuperating in a New York hospital room.

It was during this same period that he first shot his provocative S&M and gay sexual works, such as "Boot Fetish" (1979), "Dominick and Eliot" (1979), "Sucking Ass" (1979), "Raymond Sheldon" (1979), "Eric" (1980), "Man in Polyester Suite" (12003), and "Cock" (1981) — many of these gathered in one large gallery at LACMA, while a portfolio of his S&M photos appear in a long vitrine at the Getty.

This year it outdid itself with not one but three over-the-top presentations: There was an immersive exhibition of historical furnishings by the likes of Gabriella Crespi and Osvaldo Borsani, installed inside Bedouin tents, a mazelike display of its newest collection that featured an eight-foot-tall antique vitrine full of fresh flowers — and a show of nine one-off furniture pieces made from anonymous antiques the designers chopped up and put back together.

With sardonic humor, Kasearu — living artist, and also woman, mother, and landlady — inverts the trope of the House Museum, while preserving several of its tenets: there is a gift shop (more a glowing vitrine of miscellaneous objects), a library (a stack of books in the bathroom), an archive (in the attic), and an artist's study (a bedroom blocked off to the public by velvet rope, and barely visible in a room beyond, the sleeping quarters of the artist's child).

As curatorial assistant Gary Fox told me in a conversation, "We really wanted to foreground the exchange between masters and students" by placing teaching aides and notes in direct conversation with student exercises, as demonstrated in a vitrine in the exhibition's central room that juxtaposes four elegantly simple pastel and gouache collages by Kandinsky (which turn circles into epiphanies in the way only he can) and four geometrical gouaches created by a student, Erich Mrozek, for Kandinsky's course on color.
