"[The film is a] poetic and moving portrait; a unique introduction to the Americas Society exhibition, which moves chronologically backwards from the year Leonilson died."
José Leonilson: Empty Man is picked by ArtNews' editors as a "notable show." The exhibition is on view through February 3, 2018.
