As all of these galleries are for private consumption inventory changes. I love the artists that this gallery has chosen. The works are genius. It was my favorite of the 15 we viewed in April 2015. Many of the artists they have chosen have a simple complexity to them. There is such complexity in simple that the artist shines. I can't quite explain it. You really should try to go and see it. The art is likely quite expensive as with all the galleries in Chelsea. Viewing is free though.

My favorite thing in the Jonas Wood exhibition that's currently on view at Anton Kern is a gray dog…read moreat the bottom of a big painting--a schnauzer? not good with breeds here--that looked so funnily uneven and odd, not only because its head was cocked to one side, its eyes looking directly out of the painting at the viewer in that inquisitive, expectant way that dogs do--but also the way its face was painted was split in half, making its expression not just searching but also insane. Some dogs really have expressions like that! The split in the face was mainly caused by the way Wood paints--making strips of paint with ragged edges, as if he's dragging the brush downward in a very tense zig-zag, leaving these skinny tight tiretracks of paint. The dog is made of these stripes. In Wood's paintings lots of different things--animals, furniture, whatever--are made of these strips. But not everything is, so there is a variety of texture to his surfaces that I find appealing, and it nudges against the repetitive pleasure of the stripe patterns. Jonas Wood's paintings are mostly interiors, and when they're not they are the kind of paintings you'd expect to find in a normal home--a portrait of a pretty peacock, some flowers, a portrait of a couple--and he underscores the fact that he's making "paintings of paintings" by cleverly inserting them in his interiors. So in the one with the dog at the bottom, you can see the peacock painting (which hangs separately in the same gallery) IN that painting. There's a painting of a poker tournament, the one thing in the show that might be thought of as happening in a public space, but you can tell from lettering on it that it's a painting of a TV screen, so again the perspective is domestic. And the television studio where the poker game is being played is made up of the same stripes that the dog is. I wouldn't say Jonas Wood is a mind-blowing painter but I certainly enjoyed myself looking at his work.

Whatever artists are sourced for this business are truly untalented who copy all the worst ideas from the last 20 years and cover them in dripping graffiti.

Based on the timeline for the art opening I attended, this appears to be a gallery designed to help…read morenewer artists exhibit their work in NYC. The opening I attended had the space separated into three parts for three different artists. White wine was served for the opening, and one of the artists seemed to have a basic list of art for sale ranging between $1,500 - $6,500. Two artists had beautiful brochures printed elaborating on their work- and perhaps I missed the third- but only saw postcards for the other. The turn over on the gallery space seemed to be every two weeks. A new art opening every couple weeks means the neighborhood regulars have a frequently changing palette to browse, but it also suggests that the gallery is designed for the early career artist as well who wants to exhibit in NYC and get their name out. It sounds like the gallery has been in operation for at least two years- so it's definitely doing enough to attract the right buyers and artists to help cover NYC rent.

I'm a 3D ceramic artist and expected a professional representation of my work. What I got was a dark, poorly printed ad with no context or description -- just my name and website. The piece looked flat and dull, and the size was far less visible than others on the same page. I reached out three times to express my concerns. I received one brief, dismissive response offering a 20% discount on a future ad -- and then was completely ignored. There was no offer for a proof, rendering assistance, or even a chance to add a description -- not even for an additional cost. For the amount I paid, this felt misleading and unprofessional. If you're a 3D artist considering working with them, proceed with caution. Unless they revise how they handle 3D artwork, you may end up as dissatisfied as I was.

Leila Heller focuses mainly on Iranian and Middle Eastern artists, but has had a wide array of artists exhibit there- including so many female artists which I appreciate seeing. They often host artist talks as well- which I've attended a few of including one with Shirin Neshat that was incredibly interesting and informative. I appreciate their approach- they don't greet you upon entry, but let the art speak for itself and let you take whichever path you want and allow yourself to be drawn to whatever work you want without feeling any pressure.

It may be a little small but they manage to fit a lot in without making it feel too cluttered. In addition to the regular gallery space they've got a side area where they keep their archival boxes of original prints (from some of the best photographers). Above all the preservation boxes they've got more amazing framed artwork. When I went recently to the Ellen Von Unwerth show I was pleasantly surprised to see some amazing framed prints by Demarchelier, Avedon, Nick Brandt, and LaChapelle (among many others) on display. Best of all everything is for sale so you can play the "If I wont the lottery, which one would I buy" game. I chose the $45,000 Nick Brandt print. You can't go rummaging through their archives but I know they'd let you see anything if you asked, it's much better than any museum (other than maybe the George Eastman House in Rochester). They also have a huge wall of photo books you could look through which was very nice. In addition to all the marvelous artwork they had, the people I talked to here were extremely nice, helpful, and not at all pushy or condescending. I can't wait to come back.

It seems the New York gallery was briefly shuttered due to Covid but is back in the swing of things. Currently, they are showcasing Zachary Armstrong's Twelve Animals which I found to be a very whimsical take on the animals of the Chinese zodiac. The paintings were really textured lending it an air of playfulness. On exhibition as well are Curtis Barnes (We Wear the Mask) and Robert Rauschenberg (Subjective View). Barnes is also based in Dayton, OH but instead of animals, explores the Black experience in the Midwest with an equally lively palette.

Both Cindy and Mark introduced themselves to me upon entering for the first time. They have a great deal of connections with a lot of well-established and known artists in both Manhattan and abroad.

All of the pieces on display were unique and had a story to them. I felt very welcomed there, did not feel rushed, and have been welcomed back by Cindy and Mark, who might just be two of the honestly warmest people I've ever met. I will definitely stay in touch with them and direct any artists I encounter their way!! I look forward to attending more future exhibitions as well at this beautiful space on 5th avenue!
