My husband and I stopped by the David Zwirner galleries on 19th and 20th Streets last Saturday, and…read moreI was really glad we did. David Zwirner is one of the prestige art galleries in NYC. They have the 19th St and 20th St galleries in Chelsea, as well as a gallery on Walker Street and another on E 69th. We stopped by the gallery on W 20th to see "Gerhard Richter: Landschaften," which was incredible. Considering he's one of the foremost contemporary German painters, I've rarely seen his works in museum collections and exhibits, and I was thrilled to have a chance to see so many of his paintings in one gallery. (The exhibit closes on July 10 if you want to see it.) This David Zwirner gallery is a little larger than some of the others, but it's just as minimalist, clean, and beautiful as all David Zwirner galleries. Because David Zwirner has several galleries in these two blocks, his galleries are a great start for a gallery crawl of Chelsea. After our visit, I signed up for David Zwirner's email newsletter so I can keep up with future exhibits. The gallery's shows are museum-quality, and I look forward to visiting again in the future!

Located downtown On Wall Street in the financial district, Different rooms had different types of art- the rooms that really piqued my interest were the room with the coloring books, the room which, when you stand in the circle you could basically move and or draw art on the wall. How cool and forward thinking is that? 10/10 The main room downstairs in the basement is very entertaining with story tellings of Monet. I found the love bridge with hanging roses very romantic too. All in all, I would highly recommend this spot for all Art lovers, romantic dates or even a girls night. They're open till 9pm from Thursday's to Saturday's and till 7pm on Sunday's. What an awesome experience, I will be back.

The smaller displays have Instagram filters while the big room is designed to visually surround the viewer in the beautiful palette of Monet's paintings.

Those adults who enjoy the miniature and recreated collection of world attractions in Las Vegas' would also love this exhibit. #claudemonet #giverny #givernygarden

Just a note: This gallery is located at 114 Wooster Street. Whatever address was listed…read morepreviously is no longer current. And on to current events . . . 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.

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.

There are very few galleries successfully dedicated to exclusively presenting photography…read more Yancey Richardson is a leading exhibitor, representing the best photographers and works that the art community has to offer. The gallery is centrally located on the ground floor in Chelsea. Natural light and unimpeded wall space provide ideal viewing of photographs ranging from small photobooth prints to monumental museum-sized pieces. Respect for the medium is immediately apparent. The stable of represented artists is lengthy but includes Mickalene Thomas and Julius Shulman. Recent gallery-based exhibitions and presentations at Untitled and the Armory include recognizable mainstay artists like Larry Sultan, Sharon Core and Ori Gersht; Rachel Perry and Hellen van Meene, too many talents to list. Jared Bark has been shown in the gallery after many years of exposure limited to only collectors in the know, prompting a re-examination by curators and art historians. Focused exhibiting of artists newer to the scene, but no less important, like Zanele Muholi, document socially important concepts of race, gender and sexuality in her native South Africa. History and aesthetics perfectly merge through the gallery's own lens. The Gallery should be a must-see at any tour of Chelsea. Likewise, it's a gallery to seek out during the important art fair weeks in Miami and NYC. On a personal observation, the entire staff is professional and polite. The namesake, Yancey Richardson, loves what she does and her genuine passion is immediately apparent. She is easily engaged in a conversation about the artists, art works, the process and the medium. Similarly, Director, Sarah, is equally happy to provide information and quick to provide insight and information. I've enjoyed seeing the gallery exhibitions and art fair presentations; and, personal acquisitions have been easy and exciting experiences.

I never want someone to be turned off art by the attitude of some supercilious gallerist. Yancey Richardson is exactly the kind of rude, cold place to discourage a new collector. I was in there last week, and the receptionist (who was definitely NOT busy) does not even respond to "hello". It reminds me a bit of the restaurant in LA Story, only less chatty and they didn't run my credit. As far as I know.

The Bowery is a co-op gallery originally opened in 1969. They offer a diverse array of shows in a cool space that is slightly cramped (at least if you are here for an opening), but provides a cozy, well-lit spot to enjoy exceptional art.
