The interior may be even more stunning than the beautiful exterior; imagine Marie Antoinette's boudoir and you get the picture: Pudgy pastel putti look down from the ceiling on a frothy collection of sparkling glass vitrines, hung with gilded garlands and bows and displaying more glitter inside.

Some of the objects from Burle Marx's collection are on display at the Jewish Museum, inside or atop glass vitrines, set against the white walls of the gallery, which does not begin to describe the true experience of his home, where he hosted famously festive parties.

Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads Berlinde De Bruyckere is a Belgian artist whose signature work consists of reconfigured horse hides, anthropomorphic tree fragments, and headless, heavily distorted figures cast in wax, all of which are often placed in old museum cabinets, coffin-like vitrines or tabletop bell jars.

The exhibition also includes several sets of drawings on 8 ½ by 11-inch and 11 by 14-inch paper, displayed in vitrines, as well as works on paper as large as 44 1/4 by 30 1/2 inches, rendered in graphite, gouache, watercolor, ink, and colored pencil.

In this informal space, the notion of the paper's surface as a theater of ideas (abetted by vitrines filled with scribbled-over sketchbooks) comes through more clearly than it would if the drawings were sidelined as minor works in a painting gallery — especially the wildly complex "Donna Losca" (ca.

Instead, it turns the era's simple, white-walled asceticism to its advantage through abrupt shifts in scale and visual rhythms; a lively interchange of floor sculptures, table vitrines, and pylons of CRT monitors; and framed photos mounted in rows, columns, clusters, and grids, some slightly asymmetrical to deliver a syncopated kick.

Paul Rucker's installation Storm in the Time of Shelter (2018) features 52 larger-than-life-size mannequins wearing Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods in unconventional materials, including brocades, camouflage, or Kente cloth, next to vitrines that house newspapers, lynching photographs, shackles, and other ephemera related to slavery and white supremacy.

The thematically organized vitrines that line the remaining walls survey Moorman's personal life, including her early years as a classically trained cellist and Southern beauty queen; her relationship with her second husband, Frank Pileggi; and mementos and gifts from illustrious colleagues, among them artists Nam June Paik and Ray Johnson.

Here, pieces of Vernon's "sado-chic" erotic jewels, as she calls them, referring to both their ornamental and amorous functions, are displayed in backlit vitrines like works of art: a sterling-silver cuff with a detachable feather tickler, an equestrian-inspired necklace that can be worn as part of a harness.

Between the tables are large glass vitrines containing random objects that Mr. Starck collected at various flea markets over the past year; a long hallway to the elevator is lined with a stained glass installation by his daughter, the artist Ara Starck (who also made some of the throw pillows).

There were four large vitrines, each about the size of a coffin and populated by an array of flamboyant, filigreed apparatuses, lurid plumbing in many colors and forms—dragons, skulls, krakens—which one might find either fetching or hideous, depending upon one's taste for velvet heavy-metal posters and airbrushed landscapes on vans.

To document the era's Sade-induced fever, the exhibition's vitrines contain archival publications that reflect the Marquis's newfound relevance – glosses, poems, manifestos, and treatises by a Who's Who of French Modernism, from poets René Char and Paul Éluard to public intellectuals as divergent as Georges Bataille, Maurice Blanchot, and Simone de Beauvoir.

What's missing from Kline's climate change vitrines is the element of surrealistic surprise that animated his previous work, from coffee presses whose treacly liquid contents have been infused with stimulants like Red Bull and Vivarin ("Sleep is for the Weak," 2011), to Teletubbies in SWAT uniforms with video screens on their bellies ("Freedom," 2015).

On my way to Rockefeller Center, I passed the Louis Vuitton vitrines on Fifth Avenue, where handbags designed in partnership with Koons are prominently displayed, bearing prints of paintings by great masters (including Leonardo's Mona Lisa and van Gogh's "Wheat Field with Cypresses") with the artists' names emblazoned in gold or silver lettering (prices range up to $4,000).

The other group of works, which was presented in vitrines, are de Kooning catalogs that Prince had defaced by cutting into them, as well as collaging heads and faces (his own works!!!) onto them This is where Colescott and Saul and the painterly transformations they made to de Kooning's figures — especially his "women" — came to mind.

He found an all-white art gallery on the Rue Bonaparte that, with the help of artisans, he transformed into a fin-de-siècle dream of handmade oak cabinetry, antique glass vitrines, Bénou marble counters, terra cotta floors and a swan-beak faucet and sink that "we pulled out of a St. Petersburg palace," he said.

Even the broad corridor, up which we walk after entering, and off which the suite of north and south galleries elegantly peel, have been roundly, thunderously Kiefered floor-to-ceiling, penning us in between huge steel and glass vitrines, 30 of them in all, processing beside us, watching over us with the usual degree of solemnity, as we walk.

The artworks along the walls surround several vitrines in the center of the gallery that hold sketches, copies of the finished Dirty Laundry comic series, and family photos of the couple hugging, laughing, playing in a band, and spending time with their daughter, the artist Sophie Crumb, who also makes select appearances in their graphic narratives.

The look, feel, and eroticism of Rodin's drawings are reprised in a series of images done in watercolor and pencil on plaster-coated cardboard that Kiefer bound into books, a dozen of which are presented in vitrines lining a corridor-like gallery, with the words "les cathédrales de France" written across the wall in Kiefer's elegant script.

The Mechanomorphs line the walls of the show's largest gallery while vitrines of Dadaist material occupy its center, reflecting the artist's activities from 1915 to the early 1920s, during which he abandoned painting for drawings, prints and magazines and pursued Dada first in New York, with Duchamp, then in Switzerland with Tristan Tzara, the movement's founder, and finally in Paris.

Here at Meijer Gardens, the messaging may be a little more subtle and contemplative, but it has another strength: when I consider 'Blossom' or the flower wallpaper, or even the vitrines of smaller scale ceramic work, it is normal to want to linger in notions of the botanical, but there is a strong counterpunch in looking at the bold cultural and political statements those kinds of works really make.

The exhibition's historical segregation and conceptual over-determination feels controlling and strained, with such untamable artists as Bruce Nauman and Eva Hesse neatly stored in tidy vitrines (to be fair, the glass case housing Hesse's untitled sculpture from 1967-68 is part of the artwork, but in the context, it appears to entrap her spiky formal and material expansiveness), while the final gallery, filled with artists as diverse as Medardo Rosso, Gerhard Richter, Maria Lassnig, and Cy Twombly, comes off as a jumble of leftovers.
