Huge rooms in this gallery for this viewing of Warhol's work. It had a very industrial feel that…read morecomplimented the subject matter. Other than one room with paintings around the walls there were two huge rooms with one focus piece in each. The environment did not distract you from the art for sure. This was a hard subject matter to view. I left fulfilled at seeing it and yet depressed by the subject matter. I had to focus on the effort Warhol used to create each piece of art. There may be hidden meanings beyond my comprehension. I prefer his other work. This was a side of his art I did not realize existed. I was just thrilled to be in the room with his art work!! Very friendly employees at Venus Gallery. We had s nice conversation. He told me how to find them on Yelp. He thought it was nice that I review art galleries. It is a fun thing for me to do. I love art!! Not very knowledgable, but enjoy it just the same. I'll gladly return to thus gallery when I'm in the building. I look forward to seeing what and who is on view next!!

Context: Dropped in with my wife while exploring galleries in Lenox Hill. The gallery was full of…read moreBernard Buffet paintings while we were there. Pros: We found Buffet's work stylish, interesting, and provocative. He had a very strong voice that crystallized with each painting. I appreciate that the curator showcases a different artist every couple of months. Cons: A bit on the small side. Tough to rival the diversity and size of the nearby Opera Gallery. Bottom line: A great gallery I look forward to revisiting the next time I'm in Lenox Hill. If you can only go to one gallery in Lenox Hill, go to the Opera Gallery. But if you have time for another, check this place out.

Barry McGee is an artist that has skater/surf roots that are visible in his work. When I stumbled a…read morepost regarding a solo show, there was no way I was going to miss it. Cheim and Reade is new to me but I instantly liked the set up of the space. It is on the edge of 25th street in Chelsea. And there is a simple sign baring the name of the gallery. When walking in there's a small reception desk and a shelf with art books. Then a small room with a cool lay out of some McGee's more sculpture work. I loved his use of found objects, color and especially texture. In the larger room there was a tiny built side room that appeared like a small town shop. When you enter the room it's reminiscent of a teenage boy's club house. A variety of art is on the wall and there's a shelf of knick knacks. Is this the room that represents the brain of the artist? That's the beauty about art, a lot of it is interpretation. There was a back room where the giant stack of surfboards leaves you in awe. It appears as a giant stair case. Absolutely stunning. The show is up until February 17th and is worth the trip to the crevices of Chelsea. To get an intro to McGee's work I recommend watching the documentary "Beautiful Losers".

Over the years, he's brought his magic to diverse projects, from a 19th C pate-sur-pate porcelain plaque (the clay side edge on the frame was a defining, genius detail) to a colored pencil drawing in a black lacquer Stetheimer that made the image dance to a 19th C Marine painting in a hand-carved period-correct giltwood frame, with just enough plain gold liner to allow the image to breath. All in all, the best framer I've known in 40+ years of collecting.

Joseph Brentano has an incredible eye and I highly recommend you seek his advice, as the results have all been absolutely beautiful, every time bringing out the best qualities of the piece. Really great framing like his can be transformative. That said, he's also able to work in the most exacting way from gallery specs or your own ideas too for situations where you have a clear vision of what you want.
