I’ve been attending NYC’s biannual Affordable Art Fair for the past ten years, with the exception of 2020, when both the Spring and Fall fairs  — like everything else — were preempted by Covid.  Since that Year Without Art, the AAF has come back bigger than ever! This season, the art seemed especially vibrant and varied, and I had a fantastic time, strolling from floor to floor while sipping a free Hard Iced Tea from the open bar and checking out all of my favorite art and art peeps. Please enjoy my photos from a really good first night at the Metropolitan Pavilion. Continue reading Favorite Art from The Affordable Art Fair, Spring 2024! →

It’s so rare these days that I’m introduced to a new pop artist whose work I feel like I get right away, but that was the case when I got an invitation to view Venezuelan-American artist Pedro Baez’s recent solo exhibition, The Indivisible Atomo at LUME Studios. The  pop-surrealist’s new collection comprises his largest and most refined paintings to-date, and reveals Baez as an artist creating his own lane of pop-surrealism across a variety of mediums ranging from painting, sculpture, digital drawing, and 3D animation, all of which were on view at this fun pop-up show! Let’s take a look.

Sarah Sze is best known for dazzlingly intricate installations of found objects, light, and sound. She brings a similar magpie tendency and skittering energy to her work as a painter.
