LADIES FIRST The group show “Girls on Film” gathers work by artists who portray women the way pop culture often does: as starlets, pinups, or fashion models. Francis Picabia’s “L’elegante” (1942-43), painted in a style cribbed from popular “gentlemen’s magazines,” is the focal point of the show. Other artists whose work is on view include John Currin, Paul McCarthy, Cindy Sherman, and Andy Warhol. Through Friday, September 2, Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Zwirner & Wirth, 32 E. 69th St., between Park and Madison avenues, 212-517-8677, free.
LONG ISLAND LOLITAS A selection of Joseph Szabo’s photographs taken while he was a high school teacher on Long Island are on display at Gitterman Gallery. The black-and-white photos in “Teenage” capture kisses at school dances, cigarettes on the boardwalk, and clusters of teenagers preening on the beach. Through Saturday, August 6, Wednesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Gitterman Gallery, 170 E. 75th St., between Lexington and Third avenues, 212-734-0868, free.
