Art-haven

Its been a busy Autumn so far in NYC & the metropolitan area. From the Affordable Art Fair to Drift at the Shed, Salon 94 all the way to Wave Hill, there have been countless new shows & events everywhere.

Magazzino Italian Art held its NY Drive with artist, Cristian Chironi, at the Italian Consulate on Park Avenue. In what was one of the coolest experiences I have ever had, we got to ride in a colorful vintage Fiat to the United Nations and back for this awesome project.

Salon 94, a renowned gallery located in a stunning limestone townhouse behind the Guggenheim, never disappoints with its amazing exhibitions. "Sacred Anarchy" displayed some very cool sculptures by César.

Marcel Dzama's colorful storytelling pieces were on display at David Zwirner in the UES. Each piece was a kaleidoscope that spoke for itself!

At the Gagosian on Madison Avenue, international newspapers decked the gallery in Tatiana Trouvé's "From March to May" feature, showcasing a portfolio of drawings made during the 2020 grim lockdown.

The Affordable Art Fair brought together dozens of galleries to showcase a eye-pleasing range of contemporary artworks ranging between $100 and $10,000. Thank you to Lisa Cooper for the tickets.

"Drift: Fragile Future" at The Shed at Hudson Yards was a surreal experience that makes you want to go back. This immersive exhibit of kinetic installations and sculptures presented by Superblue spread goosebumps.

At Wave Hill's Glyndor Gallery, "Eco-Urgency: Now or Never" interconnected art and environmental issues plaguing our world today. A range of different artists had unique presentations scattered around the beautiful rooms.

The Grill, one of Park Avenue's most iconic restaurant had a more-than impressive Andy Warhol collection, most notably the portrait of Farah Pahlavi, while Casa Lever across the street dazzled with its colorful Damien Hirst paintings.

Spazio Amanita, a new Italian gallery in the heart of Soho transformed into a fun boxing ring.

To top it all off, The Brooklyn Museum did an outstanding job with "Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams." From the hundreds of rare pieces to the breathtaking sound effects, this did NOT disappoint!
