Each weekday, ARTnews publishes “Pictures at an Exhibition,” a look at notable exhibitions around the world, from important retrospectives for pioneers in major art capitals to smaller gallery shows by emerging or under-recognized artists in far-flung locales. Below is a look at some of the “Pictures at an Exhibition” posts that have run in 2017, broken down in two groups: the ten most-viewed slideshows and the ten favorites of ARTnews photo editor Maximilíano Durón, who manages the feature.
