Seven sculpture exhibitions anchor New York's gallery calendar this autumn, timed to Art Week NYC, the citywide festival running from 11 to 14 November. The line-up stretches across five centuries, from Renaissance bronzes to sculptures built from discarded car tyres, and several of the shows mark returns or firsts for artists whose standing has shifted sharply in recent years.

At Andrew Edlin, Beverly Buchanan: Ruination and Regeneration pairs the late artist's abstract paintings from her brief 1970s New York career with sculptures made after her move to Georgia in 1976. The show includes her hand-built shack sculptures and cast-concrete works, among them pieces connected to Marsh Ruins, her 1981 memorial at the marshland site of an 1803 slave rebellion in Georgia. It coincides with Buchanan's inclusion in the 61st Venice Biennale. At the Frick Collection, Siena: The Art of Bronze, 1450-1500 gathers some 40 surviving bronzes of the period by artists including Vecchietta, Francesco di Giorgio and Donatello, close to all the examples of the period that are able to travel.

Paula Cooper revisits Claes Oldenburg's 1975 travelling survey Six Themes, with works ranging from a four-foot stuffed and painted canvas clothespin to an 18-inch cast aluminium cigarette butt. Karma presents early wood sculptures, paintings and collages by Thaddeus Mosley, the Pittsburgh sculptor who died in March aged 99, made between 1954 and 1968. Smaller than the monumental works he is known for, the pieces trace his move away from representation and his early interest in African art. David Nolan shows Chakaia Booker: Unpacked, combining her signature tyre sculptures with collages, photographs and a tapestry.

Two further shows complete the list. Ibrahim Said: Shaping Time at Yossi Milo presents hand-carved clay vessels drawing on ancient Egyptian, Coptic and Islamic traditions, made as Said concludes an 18-month artisan residency at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Pietro Alexander hosts Charlie Engelman: Prop Pile Bloom, sculptures in flocked foam, cast aluminium and 500-year-old redwood, including a winding polyurethane work titled Vene Cava, named for the veins that carry blood back to the heart.
