Huge thanks to Nicole Casamento for organizing a second annual “gallery crawl” in honor of International SWAN Day.
Last year (2014), we hit three galleries on the Upper East Side.
This year (2015), we hit three galleries in Chelsea (on Manhattan’s West Side).
We started at the Jack Shainman Gallery (on West 20th Street), where we saw a wonderful new exhibit of work by Iraqi artist Hayv Kahraman.
Then we went to the David Zwirner Gallery (on West 19th Street), where we saw an excellent retrospective of work by Alice Neel.
Finally, we finished up at the P.P.O.W. Gallery (on West 22nd Street), where we met artist Ann Agee in person while we were marveling at her slyly provocative installations.
Huge thanks once again to Nicole Casamento & all who participated 🙂
