Once again I am heading towards the big city New York, New York.

New York, New York
Roy takes me to our first visit which is the Brucennial.
New York, New York
There was painting after painting sculpture after sculpture hung chaotically but it was a good way to spend time and discover new young talent.
New York, New York
Then it was to James Fuentes where a deceased artist called Bill Walton’s work was shown; it was very sensitive and beautiful. It seems that all the galleries are now looking into the past and finding and discovering some amazing long forgotten artists. It is very tempting for me to go there as a collector but I would rather collect emerging artists of our time.

Back to art and I had a nice surprise at Metro I thought work of John Miller was fascinating.The show is called “Suburban Past Time”.

Kevin Spacey had a lovely dinner at the Lambs club but the highlight was at Nouriel Roubini’s were I bumped into Yigal Ozeri the artist who is larger than life and Kerry who is the red bull supplier in USA. Red Bull and Vodka WOW!! I was very awake.

Alexandre da Cunha’s show at CRG was also brilliant.

Then it was the Whitney and it was a pleasure to see they were like ourselves at 176 and doing their own thing. Not following any trends or market. It was a very interesting show and must have shook up a load of people.

David Risley was waiting to greet me in front of his totem poles. Watch out girls he is on the market!

Christian Eisenberger from Teapot Gallery took up residence at the Armory. Great idea making art booths into temporary artist spaces, I say why not!

Tony Matelli creates “stray dog”. Always something to make you smile around the corner in art fairs.

We headed to Independant where at Freymond Guth Fine Arts Tanja Roscic was adding the finishing touches to her work.

I was intrigued by the work of Alistair Frost shown by Hotel, a massage bed flower pot and painting. Very minimal and very strange!

Then at Zack Feuer it was a surprise to come across Johannes Van Der Beek's work. It was all very strong, engaging and experimental.
New York, New York
My final stop was at Casey Caplan where Marlo Pascual had created a work of some magnitude. A photograph of a big furry cuddly cat which made me think of Tracey, Miaow Miaow!

Then home sweet home to Hannah Perry’s opening a Taco truck and a great vibe.
