In what feels like a final hurrah before the commencement of the Met Museum’s 4-year construction of the Tang Wing for Modern and Contemporary Art, newly hung contemporary paintings by Matthew Wong, Qiu Xiaofei, Cady Noland and other sought-after contemporary artists have offered an intriguing foretaste of what’s to come. Here, a large canvas by British artist and musician Issy Wood juxtaposes a watch face, clusters of bells and a car’s leather seat in an enigmatic but evocative suggestion of time, music and movement. (On view at the Met Museum).
