I enjoyed the Andre Cadere: 1965- 1978 exhibition at Ortuzar Projects so much that I saw it twice. I had seen Cadere’s iconic wooden bar work many times before, but did not know much about him. I went purposely to see the bars, and really liked his other work as well. “The first major exhibition of Cadere’s artwork in New York since PS1 Contemporary Art … Continue reading Andre Cadere in New York, NY
I am back from six weeks in New York City where I visited a lot of galleries I hadn’t been to before. The Flag Art Foundation is a beautiful gallery space in Chelsea, which I will be keeping on my radar. On the top floor of the gallery was Peter Uka: Remembrance, the artist’s first solo exhibition in New York. Yet again, photos do not … Continue reading Peter Uka in New York, NY
Guy Michael Davis and Katie Parker are the collaborative team known as Future Retrieval. Their exhibition, Crystal-Walled Seas, at Denny Dimin Gallery in Tribeca, was a total thrill for me to stumble upon. I adored the exhibition. “Since 2008, Guy Michael Davis and Katie Parker have been collaborating together under the name Future Retrieval, mining archives and museums to digitally collect and make objects that … Continue reading Future Retrieval in New York, NY
I have a thing for paintings of city buildings. I have some great small cityscape paintings from when I regularly went to flea markets, long before art was sold online. The more windows they had, the better. I always felt so lucky when I came across one. I knew I had to see Tabboo! Cityscapes as soon as I got back to Manhattan. It did … Continue reading Tabboo! in New York, NY
I loved the show, Jay Milder: Broadway Nonstop, Subway Paintings from the 1950s and 60s, so much that I went three times. The works are of people running to catch New York City subway trains. It’s one of those exhibitions that does not photograph well. I had shown my husband photos from the show, and I could tell he wasn’t quite as smitten as I … Continue reading Jay Milder in New York, NY
I’ve been going to the Whitney Biennial for as long as I can remember, and enjoyed my time there on Sunday. It’s always interesting in some way and I’m never sure what to expect. The Biennial began as an annual exhibition in 1932, and as a biennial in 1973. Originally an exhibition of work by young and lesser known artists, it has evolved over time. … Continue reading The Whitney Biennial in New York, NY

Art Basel Miami Beach takes place in the newly renovated Miami Beach Convention Center. I read that there was a new sliding scale pricing system implemented this year that supported the participation of smaller and mid size galleries. Along with the improved lighting… Continue reading Part One: Art Basel Miami Beach in Miami Beach, FL
Aqua Art Miami, takes place in a classic South Beach Miami two story motel. The furniture is all removed and each gallery takes over a room. I look forward to going every year but was disappointed this year as some of my favorite galleries from years past were not there, and the work in general wasn’t very appealing to me. Aqua features 47 exhibitions… Continue reading Aqua Art Miami in Miami Beach, FL
