camminando & vernissages | Chelsea, February 28

Another painfully cold temperature leads my walk from views of the sun setting over the frozen Hudson river to a vibrant art openings night.

vernissages | NYC, First Week of 2015

The 2015 art season just opened this week in many of the over 500 Manhattan private galleries  in different neighborhoods, from Chelsea to Midtown and Lower East Side. And of course Brooklyn: Williamsburg, Dumbo and Bushwick...

Unfortunately I could not make it to Brooklyn, but in Manhattan I could not find many sensorially exciting or thought-provoking art shows, at least compared to the 2014 fall season. 

Below are a few snapshots in chronological order.

Susan Philipsz "Part File Score" Tanya Bonakdar Gallery

Anya Gallaccio at Lehmann Maupin: minimalist sculptures reminiscent of Sol LeWitt
