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.

Scope Art Show
Uneven art show with a range of graffiti artists and creative artists across disciplines. Art is so affordable that you can purchase a creative masterpiece for 2 weeks salary. I think we need a campaing to support artists in the way the diamond industry supports engagement ring purchases. Art is so important and everyone should support the powerful visual artists working today!
Taryn Simon
PAPERWORK AND THE WILL OF CAPITAL
Gagosian on 24th has an exhibit of the recent works of Taryn Simon, who has reduced the high tension political meetings of dignitaries down to the florist who arranged the bouquet that sat at the meeting. She strips away the context revealing the flowers that were designed for the event. One visual had no flowers, how sad. Also included in the show are flower pressings of the type of flowers presented at these events. Framing is awesome. Check it out through March 26, 2016
Busts, Busts & More Busts—South African artist Claudette Schreuders has a new show at Jack Shainman Gallery on 24th Street featuring a group of painted and carved busts. One is a full body self portrait of the artist, while others
represent her influence®s. There is an interesting realness to these works, Check it out!
Knowledge Bennett x Mr. Herget
Joseph Gross Gallery
Pop art meets space art on giant canvasses meant to align with Andy Warhol’s sensibilities. This show has poperific canvasses worth a second look. Check it out through February 20, 2016.
Berlinde De Bruyckere
No Life Lost
Hauser & Wirth
Belgian sculptor who brings a dark Taxidermied feeling to the installation. Set up with very low lighting and a textural darkness and subtle wetness to the sculptures, as if they have just been killed and skinned, wrapped and bound. I’m feeling an intensity of the mortal coil being spun off revealing dust. Very powerful show through 4.2.16. Check it out.
Gregory Crewdson @Gagosian — Cathedral of the pines, his latest set of images to be shown took 4 years in the making and 2 years of post-production which makes for an intense image maker. This show was big, loud and crowded, everyone naked and revealing themselves to the dark nature of real life. Open through 3-15-16. Check it out!
