Painting by Michael Varley, a Metropolitan Museum of Art guard.

“A group of Met guards, including Mr. Hoffmeister, is stepping into the spotlight with a new art journal called Sw!pe Magazine: Guards’ Matter, and an accompanying art exhibit, which runs through Sunday at 25CPW, a gallery at 62nd Street and Central Park West. Sw!pe, a reference to the process of clocking in and out for work, was planned and financed by current and former guards.”
