I don’t know about you but, every time I’ve gone to an art gallery opening or checked out a new art exhibit, depending on the artwork(s) or artist(s), the crowd is always as interesting if not, at times, better than the art itself, so why should Frieze New York be any different? Sure, it’s all […]

As I kept looking at all of […]
