About the 2013 Carnegie International

The Carnegie International it is the oldest exhibition of contemporary art in North America.   The New York Times described the 2013 International as “a welcome shock to the system of one of the art world’s more entrenched rituals. This lean, seemingly modest, thought-out exhibition takes the big global survey of contemporary art off steroids.”
