“For the first time in 28 years, I’ve had three months without a school and sports schedule to deal with,” Stephanie Ingrassia, vice-chairwoman of the board at the Brooklyn Museum, said recently in an interview at her home.

Lynette Yiadom-Boakye and
Nicole Eisenman, videos by
William Kentridge and
Marilyn Minter, a figurative sculpture by
Sanford Biggers and a
Takashi Murakami silver tondo (a circular work) incised with a skull motif — hung on the ceiling and reflecting the river outside. [
