It is Everything Old Is New Again Week in New York, with antiques fairs and exhibitions popping up all over Manhattan. This weekend, three of the most lavishly expansive are displaying collectibles of almost every conceivable kind, from ancient Egyptian sculpture to midcentury modern decor. Each has a distinctly different appeal. If you can get to only one, it should be the Winter Antiques Show, whose 75 dealers offer the most wide ranging and highest of high-end material. A lesson to be learned here is just how vividly of-the-moment antique objects can appear. The Alaskan tribal masks at Donald Ellis, for example, are thrillingly fierce and wonderfully inventive in their complex, multipart construction. Surrealists like Max Ernst and Yves Tanguy envied the anonymous, hallucinogenically inspired shamans who made them and purchased some for their personal collections. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Today's comic book artists and graphic novelists owe a huge debt of gratitude to Hokusai, Hiroshige and other Japanese artists who, with wonderful formal and technical ingenuity, illustrated tales of martial conflict, high seas adventure, travel and erotica, and sold them cheap in vast quantities to the pre-20th-century equivalents of manga and anime fans. At the Japan Society ''Graphic Heroes, Magic Monsters: Japanese Prints by Utagawa Kuniyoshi From the Arthur R. Miller Collection,'' an exhibition of richly colorful scenes by one of the most popular 19th-century masters of woodblock printing, shows us what the fuss was about. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Back in the days of the cold war and the Organization Man, George Tooker painted some of the 20th century's most memorable images of modern angst. With its lost souls haunting the New York underground like ''Night of the Living Dead'' extras, ''Subway'' (1950) envisions modernity as a spiritual prison system. The Kafkaesque ''Government Bureau'' (1956) pictures an office of seemingly infinite extent, where people wait like penitents at the windows of terminally unresponsive bureaucrats. Both paintings are included in ''George Tooker: A Retrospective,'' a richly affecting exhibition at the National Academy Museum in Manhattan. The first museum survey of Mr. Tooker's paintings in three decades, it comes at a favorable moment, as many contemporary artists -- Hilary Harkness, Lisa Yuskavage and Mark Greenwold, to name three -- fruitfully explore imaginatively far-reaching possibilities of traditional figurative painting.

During his lifetime no one knew that Henry Darger (1892-1973) had been secretly producing in his cluttered Chicago apartment one of the 20th century's great works of visual art. At his death he left behind, in addition to voluminous writings, almost 300 large-scale watercolor paintings (or nearly 600, counting both sides of each sheet) illustrating a hair-raising epic adventure called ''The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What Is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinnian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion.'' Originally bound in volumes as wide as nine feet, Darger's scroll-like paintings have since been recognized as the works of a self-taught genius, and this outsider art has been inspirational for many academically trained professional artists.
