When I was in my 20s, during my first visit to New York City, I met gallerists Andrea Rosen and…read moreTanya Bonakdar at their respective galleries in SoHo. Rosen's gallery was located on Prince Street. These days, most of the top galleries like Gagosian and Bonakdar's are located in Chelsea. But I kind of miss the old SoHo days, and the atmosphere in Chelsea is totally different - almost like another world. Most of all, I miss Rosen's SoHo gallery. When I visited, she came out from the back and discussed the artist whose work she was exhibiting at the time, Miguel Calderon. I remember really liking his work. She also simultaneously showed the work of Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle. I read somewhere that Rosen has donated her archives to the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art. And while she no longer appears to have a physical gallery, it seems like she still represents (the estate of) Felix Gonzalez-Torres. Honestly, I wish she would reopen the gallery at some point. Rosen and her perspectives on art were a huge inspiration years ago.

Great gallery. I recently learned that on Saturdays, members of the gallery's staff (and even…read moreAndrea Rosen herself) stand in the gallery and talk to visitors about the work. It's very generous--I got a full tour of a fascinating show, "Counter Forms," with works by Tetsumi Kudo, Alina Szapocznikow, Paul Thek and Hannah Wilke, all of whom worked in different parts of them world, died youngish and were forgotten in the 90s but making a comeback now. And they deserve it: weird materials and biomorphic forms, industrail waste and synthetic pigments, intriguing use of slightly sickening colors and textures--a fertile mix of mad-science lab and contemplative poetry that seems to speak to the ways in which artists are dealing with the relationship between bodies and technologies now. Usually Andrea Rosen has a few shows up at once - a big one in the front, medium in the middle, and a selection of works by different artists in the showroom in the far rear, which means you're guaranteed to find SOMEthing to like on any given visit. For 'Counter Forms," however, the whole gallery was devoted to this single group exhibition. But it's definitely worth it! so much to see. There is also a small appendix across the street. I feel like the narrowness of this space makes it slightly awkward. It's smaller than any of the spaces across the street, even the little showroom in the back. I haven't felt really impressed or moved by a show here yet but, it's new so maybe they'll get the hang of it (no pun intended!).

A wise man once said those who delve into art....Let's begin this review!…read more The Noguchi Museum is a sculpture garden musuem dedicate to the works of Isamu Noguchi, artist and architect. He came to NYC as a teen in1922, you will see a handful of his sculptures in some of the buildings and airport. This museum has three floors and a basement, museum store and a garden. Today's admission is free due to 4th of July celebration. Museum's gallery section is unique and different from one another. Visitors are not allowed to take flash photography and touch the sculptures or art display. However, being me I put that to the test. Hehehe. Staff were obsequious and professional. Free wifi. Plenty street parking. Admission is affordable. Overall, I had a nice experience discovering Isamu's art.

Also chess boards were set-up in different areas of the museum. There is a gift shop, and restrooms. Close to Socrates Park so was a long walk from the Steinway St-M R station.

I have been to this gallery a few times. The first time I thought it was a retail space, or a clothing store. It's built in such an interesting and thoughtful way that this space could convince you it's anything! And honestly, as an instagram aficionado, this place is set up so smoothly, so well, that foreground pieces are hyped up by background pieces. I think enough thought goes into this place that they consider what pieces from various artists enhance pieces from other artists, and they arrange accordingly. This gallery represents some of the most creative artists out there, including Bruno Catalano, the French-Italian sculptor known for his "travelers" series. Each subject has a substantial piece missing from them, indicating how travel changes us and how we change the spaces in which we travel. Carole Feuerman is another artist, known for her shockingly lifelike swimmers. Her pieces are stunning, down to the small veins under the skin, small indents where weight is perceived, small drops of water dripping down extremities. Gabriel Moreno--an astonishingly talented pencil artist, filling his work with mesmerizing color and painstaking individual pencil strokes. I was specifically drawn to a very special piece--a bronze piece by Fin DAC. A strong, resolute woman with a determined expression and a shocking red mask. The gallery attendant explained to me that this piece was made ONLY for this gallery, therefore cannot be seen anywhere else. We also spoke of the Park Avenue exhibitions in 2024, for both Bruno Catalano and Carole Feuerman. Both of which were larger than life and amazing to see. These exhibitions also show how Galeries Bartoux is truly involved in the community and bringing art to the outside and to the general public, not just gallery goers. To me, that says a lot. I frequent a lot of galleries. Some are pretentious. Some are indifferent. Some are chill. Some judgy. This gallery experience was probably the best I've ever had. Yeji Garcia was in the gallery today. She actively approached me, asked me what I was interested in, and actually discussed the art with me. She was helpful, well informed, interesting, and treated me the same as a millionaire. Do I have money? Yes. Do I act like it? No. Yeji didn't know if I was penniless or uber rich, but she engaged, she got my info, and she followed up with an email list of art, info, and prices. I wish I had visited earlier in the day so I had more energy to devote to her enthusiasm. I hope she's there when I return. I loved this experience. And Galeries Bartoux, do not let Yeji get away. She deserves all the praise.

If you need a refresher, one of his career highlights was painting Barack Obama's presidential portrait. They represent and present a broad range of artists with eclectic styles.

Huge, tall portraits, filled with color. Reviewing their past exhibitions, not every exhibition is my vibe, but the art they showcase is very diverse, and there is something for everyone. Like all the other galleries I've reviewed, it's free. And when in Chelsea, you can hit up several and make a whole field trip out of it. So what do you have to lose?
