25 Famous Families With Roots in Upstate New York

They are engraved on buildings, printed on road signs, attached to colleges and hospitals, and found on the gravestones in some of the state’s oldest cemeteries. Some belong to families that settled along the Hudson River when New York was still a Dutch colony. Others belong to families that came much later and built businesses whose names became familiar around the world.

ARTnews Awards 2026 Emerging Artist of the Year: Coco Klockner

Recognizing an artist who is having their first significant gallery or small nonprofit solo show or has made an important contribution to a biennial. ARTnews Awards 2026 Best Thematic Museum Exhibition: "MONUMENTS" Coco Klockner for “In Practice: Coco Klockner” at SculptureCenter, New York (October 18, 2025–December 22, 2025) and her contribution to “Greater New York 2026” at MoMA PS1, New York (April 16–August 17, 2026) Coco Klockner has said she approaches making sculpture “as though it were in transition,” a turn of phrase that refers to the unknowable, shape-shifting quality that has characterized much of her work since her first gallery show in 2018.

An easily missed motion detector at the entrance set off the piece’s soundtrack, which Klockner has described as “an undisclosed conversation between lovers.” Yet the words of that conversation were heavily edited and therefore difficult to understand, and the show itself contained little information about the work.
