At Frieze, visitors were introduced to the works of Iranian artist Bita Fayyazi at Dastan Gallery. Her hanging sculptural piece captivated viewers with its unique form. Another notable discovery was June Clark’s metal sculpture titled “Enough (from the Perseverance Suite)” at Daniel Faria Gallery. The powerful artwork, featuring rusted chains in a birdcage-like structure, left a lasting impression.
Michael Rosenfeld Gallery:
The gallery showcased art made by women in 1973, coinciding with the landmark Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade. The exhibition featured works by Nancy Grossman, Lee Bontecou, Betye Saar, Claire Zeisler, and Magdalena Abakanowicz. The collection highlighted the diverse talent and contributions of female artists.
Artist Studio Visits:
Collectors had the opportunity to visit artists’ studios, including Alteronce Gumby and Hannah Levy in the Bronx. These visits provided a unique insight into the artists’ creative processes and allowed for meaningful conversations about their work.
“Rear View” at LGDR:
The exhibition at LGDR (now Lévy Gorvy Dayan) showcased a thematic collection of artworks, all depicting the human posterior. The show featured artists from different periods, offering a diverse range of perspectives on the subject.

The Georgia O’Keeffe exhibition at MoMA stood out as a must-see. The collection featured previously unseen works by the iconic artist, offering a fresh perspective on her artistic evolution.
As the spring art season comes to a close, collectors reflect on the whirlwind of exhibitions and experiences. The diverse range of artworks and artists encountered throughout the season has enriched their collectionses, which were recently reinstalled and showcased a diverse range of artists and artworks. I also visited the Whitney Museum of American Art, where I saw Jaune Quick-to-See Smith’s exhibition “Memory Map,” which explored themes of Indigenous identity and history. The exhibition was thought-provoking and visually stunning.
Overall, this spring has been a whirlwind of art experiences. From attending Frieze New York and discovering new artists, to visiting artists’ studios and exploring galleries in both LA and New York, I have been immersed in the vibrant and ever-evolving art world. I am grateful for the opportunity to see incredible exhibitions, meet talented artists, and add new artworks to my collection.
