NY Frieze Week 2018

TEFAF Spring 2018


It is only second year in NY.  I feels like it grows so fast.  This year, they featured 90 of the world’s most illustrious dealers in modern and contemporary art and design, with 24 new participants, including Gagosian, Gladstone Gallery, Hauser & Wirth, Marian Goodman Gallery, Lévy Grovy, Matthew Marks Gallery, Mnuchin Gallery, Taffin, White Cube, and more. The Fair provides an unrivaled draw for a community of collectors, museum curators, and art lovers from around the world.

So many people came preview hours. All major dealers were in their booth most of preview hours as well.  Could tell how important the fair is.  It was so nice to seat on Park Ave. Armory mezzanine level balcony and having a glass of Ruinart champagne and Lobster roll overviewing the show.  

opening day was fabulous as always... #ninayashar's hijab was beautiful...
Galerie Gmurzynska created very unique exhibition space last year and this year. I gave them big credit for it.

Art New York


They combine with context NY this year.  Somehow it was smaller than previous years.  But I could see many international galleries and artists which was nice.  Since most big art fairs go with big or popular artists with New York galleries, it was refreshing to see cuban and monacan artist works.

Frieze NY


There was major change in the Frieze since they changed their exhibition layout.  They used to be known for well organized and big open space, but this time, they made smaller sections, and no gallery has a huge space which was benefit for small galleries.  It feels more intimate which could see art more personally....  didn't find anything so different or interesting works, but in general, they always have decent pieces...
