I heart NY.

ARTFORUM May 2012

I was in New York last week. The Frieze Art Fair was going on so we made the most of a few days…

This was the first time for Frieze to be stateside so there was quite a bit of hype (it’s held annually in London, and will continue to be, every October).

With the fair going on, many of the galleries were opening new exhibitions. We definitely made the rounds and saw some great exhibitions.

Today over lunch (in Dallas), I perused the May 2012 ARTFORUM magazine. I decided it would be a good way to illustrate my trip….pics of the ads of the exhibitions. Just another layer, I suppose.

I won’t go into too much commentary about the exhibitions. I will say that I edited the list here. There were more shows that I saw but not necessarily worth mentioning. So I offer this as a “if you go to New York in the next month, go see these exhibitions” guide.

Also a topic of discussion among my friends and colleagues was the program of exhibitions at Gagosian right now. Picasso, Lucio Fontana and Richard Avedon…..extensive (and I mean extensive) museum-type exhibitions with art historical context – but in a commercial gallery…not a museum. Something to think about….

I linked each image with the gallery’s website. Enjoy. I heart New York.
