Rudy Burckhardt and Friends is the first, and long-overdue, American museum exhibition to focus on work by the late Rudy Burckhardt. In an unusual pairing, Burckhardt's photographic portraits of New York artists from a twenty-odd year period are displayed alongside works by those artists from New York University's art collection, supplemented by loans from the Albright Knox Gallery and the Parrish Art Museum.

The show allows viewers to see how one artist chose to portray another and to view stellar, but rarely exhibited, works by such renowned artists as Josef Albers, Willem and Elaine de Kooning, Philip Guston, Al Held, Alex Katz, Joan Mitchell, Marisol, and Jackson Pollock. In addition, the exhibition features a selection of Burckhardt's remarkable Manhattan cityscapes and pioneering independent films.
