JUNE 1–30
Fifty years ago, on June 28, 1969, a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village, sparked a week of rioting and protests. Gay men and women were at last fighting for their civil rights, and LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) history would never be the same again. This month, as NYC Pride welcomes WorldPride in a monthlong commemoration of the Stonewall Uprising, the city flies the rainbow flag. 2019-worldpride-stonewall50.nycpride.org

Trompe L'Oeil Triumphant
Early works by Stephen Posen (b. 1939)—New York-based artist and, incidentally, father of fashion designer Zac Posen—are on display in “Threads: Paintings From the 1960s and ’70s,” an ambitious two-part exhibition at Vito Schnabel Projects (thru June 23, this page) and its sister gallery in St. Moritz, Switzerland (July 28–Sept. 2). “Untitled” (detail, left), a large-scale, photorealist painting of cloth-covered boxes from 1970, has never been publicly shown in New York until now.
