It's Art Fair Season in New York!

March rolls around and so do literally dozens of art fairs, in what is New York's busiest 10 days for art collectors and dealers. The fairs are many-folded– you can attend as a spectator, in which case the fair functions as a fun smorgasbord of art, champagne, and coffee. You can attend as a dealer, in which case the fair could provide most of your revenue for that year, and form valuable connections with potential buyers. You can attend as a collector, where you might find

Columbia University Searches for an encyclopedic imaging of LOVE

LOVE 2018: Purple Hearts is the second in a series of LOVE exhibitions curated by Rachel Stern and hosted by the LeRoy Neiman Gallery at Columbia university.

The Whitney has always focused on featuring the contemporary work of American artists, and most American artists today are angry, passionate and opinionated– and the biennial does not attempt to sugarcoat that. The pieces and installations beg the spectator to witness the racism, exclusivity, viol
