After two years of failed major art shows in New York, I was so excited to see that all the art fairs in the city were open as planned. Many galleries and museums had special shows for another great New York Art Month.
Tefaf New York Spring 2022
This year’s show was a lot simpler and more modern than in previous years, including the flower decorations. But overall, it was one of the best art fairs.
Frieze New York 2022
Frieze switched its location to The Shed in Hudson Yards in 2021. The fair is a lot smaller than before, and not many galleries participated this year. I remember when they used to have amazing presentations of the show and artwork, but over the last few years, I felt it has become a less interesting show. Meanwhile:
-
TEFAF is showing major artists’ works.
-
Independent shows a wide variety of artworks.
-
NADA and Volta present emerging artists’ works.
So I’m not entirely sure where Frieze stands now.
However, there were still two notable highlights:
-
David Zwirner Gallery presented a solo show by Carol Bove on a stunning red wall.
-
Gagosian Gallery presented an interactive artwork that allowed the audience to participate.
