INTERNATIONAL POP An exhibit of German and American Pop artists explores several themes of the art movement. Consumer culture is the dominant trope in a selection of “box sculptures” by Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter’s “Toilet Paper,” a silk-screen painting by Konrad Lueg depicting a grid of supermarket prices, and an early sculpture by Claes Oldenburg from a 1961 exhibit on the Lower East Side, in which the artist sold sculptures of food and consumer goods. Celebrity and decoration are other motifs. Through Friday, July 1, Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Zwirner & Wirth, 32 E. 69th St., 212-517-8959, free.


FOOLS INDEED Greg Rivera curates “I Pity the Dolls!” a show of more than 150 hand-sewn plush Mr.T dolls made in the style of Cabbage Patch Kids. Mr. Rivera and his partner, Mike Essl, claim to possess the largest collection of Mr. T memorabilia in the world. In addition to the display of dolls, Mr. Rivera invited several artists to construct their own Mr. T toys, which will be sold at a silent auction. The gallery describes the show as “the most important collection of Mr. T. handmade dolls in existence,” a boast that is hard to dispute. Through Saturday, July 9, Saturday and Sunday, 1-7 p.m., Orchard Street Art Gallery, 139 Orchard St., between Delancey and Rivington streets, 917-682-6753, free.
