Spring Break Art Fair
Moynihan Station (Old Post Office Across from Penn Station)
Great show for up and coming artists. So cool to see the insides of this historic post office where each gallery had a space on 2 floors of the post office. I imagine in the day that each massive office was for on person only. Things have changed. I took a lot of pictures which means that I was transfixed. Great to see young artists stretching and reaching.
Volta Art Fair
Pier 90 NYC
This is one of the better art fairs in March. It features one artist per booth, which helps you see the range and quality of an artist’s expression. It really helps you see the possibilities of the artists’ work. Love this show!
Armory Show 2016
Part 3 of 3
Pier 94 NYC
Great show this year, not a lot of repeated artists or artwork. Seeing new stuff everywhere. The quality is insane and the ideas are genius. I think this is one of the best years at the armory. It doesn’t seem like a lot of stuff is selling, but hard to tell. This is the best of the best.
Mark Ryden
Dodechahedron
Paul Kasmin Gallery
Amazing show of Mark Ryden’s latest work. Amazing amount of detail to his process from painting on a lift with rollers to manufacturing the frames overseas to exacting specifications. There is no other world like his. Even the Fan Mom and Daughter dressed up and brought their favorite Mark Ryden dolls. It’s a macabre world where innocence and the gruesome comingal in an ethereal world. Check it out through January 23, 2016.
Frieze Art Fair 2015
Randal Island NYC
Part 3 of 3
Good fair this year with an assortment of international galleries showcasing many smaller pieces and less “Statement” type pieces of artwork. Mood seemed a little subdued but the art is always intelligent and thought provoking. There were a couple of performance pieces as well as participatory artworks and a maze.
