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.

Shag-a-riffic—We skipped spring and went straight to summer, SMH. Anyway there will be a fantastic shagarific show at Jonathan Levine Gallery featuring the hep cat feel of the late 1960’s painting and illustration. I’m sure everyone will be in a good mood/vibe. For some amazing photo-realistic paintings, check out Melodie Provenzano at the Nancy Margolis Gallery. Have a hep night!

Yayoi Kusama

Give Me Love

Obliteration Room

Every Yayoi show here at Zwirner is epic. So cool that they brought the Obliteration room from Australia to NYC. Day one, and the white walls of the suburban tract home are already getting covered with dots. The staff is a little controlling in the process, but such a cool and fun execution of her work. I feel like she is so much of a better conceptual artist than an executional artist. This show rocks. Bring your kids, they’ll have a blast! Through June 13th 2015.

David Salle

New Paintings

Skarstedt Gallery

Pop art from one of the original creators. Feels a little sloppy and rushed, maybe give it up. Not feeling the energy and love in these pieces. Check out the morbidity through June 27, 2015.
