MUNCH/WARHOL, and the Multiple Image brings together two of the 20th century’s most prolific and inventive printmakers: Norwegian Edvard Munch and American Andy Warhol, in an exhibition organized in honor of the 150th anniversary of Munch’s birth.

The members preview is Friday April 26 at 6pm. The exhibition opens Saturday, April 27, 2:30 to 5:30 pm with an afternoon symposium that includes an introductory talk by exhibition co-curator and noted Munch scholar Dr. Patricia G. Berman. $10 (FREE for ASF members) At 58 Park Avenue, Between 37 and 38th Streets. 2l2.514.0013 for free audio tour.
HENRI LABROUSTE: Structure Brought to Light is the first U.S. solo exhibition dedicated to the 19th century architect, a pioneer in the use of exposed iron framework. Some 200 watercolor drawings, photographs, fragments and other items are organized into sections exploring his philosophy of design; his principal creations, notably the Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve and Bibliotheque nationale in Paris; and the inheritors of his legacy, from his pupils and followers in France and abroad to later figures such as Frank Lloyd Wright. Through June 24 at MOMA, the Museum of Modern Art, at 11W 53rd Street.
THE IMPRESSIONIST LINE from Degas to Toulouse-Lautrec: Drawings and prints from the Clark Museum is the first loan exhibition devoted to the Williamstown, MA, museum’s fine collection of 19-century French works on paper. Highly varied, the 58 pieces on view reflect the dynamism of the art scene at a time when nations of appropriate subject matter, materials and techniques were upended. At The Frick Collection, 1 East 70 Street, Through June 16, 2013.
