Hermès is famous for the surrealism of its windows. Gene Moore turned the windows of Tiffany & Co. into glittering mindscapes. Simon Doonan put Barney’s on the map with his wild windows. And during the holidays, the windows of Bergdorf Goodman are one of New York City’s star attractions, right up there with the Rockettes and The Nutcracker. Terrariums for mannequins, storytelling venues, cabinets of curiosities—the store window is one of the great expressive mediums of modern times. The Tinguely Museum takes up the history of these in-between spaces in an exhibition that looks at how they converse with the art of their time, are often designed by artists (Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, and Andy Warhol, to name a few), and even serve as little theaters for performance. —Laura Jacobs
