(Drivebycuriosity) - 2024 is another good year in the world of contemporary art. New York City, which has hundreds of art galleries, presented a flood of impressive art shows. It was so much fun to discover different styles and ideas and I was impressed by the variety of concepts, styles and techniques.
My favorite was a show @ Almine Rech on Broadway in South Manhattan (Tribeca). They displayed works by Alexandre Lenoir, the exhibition was called "Between Dogs And Wolves" (my post driveby ).
I also enjoyed the show "Fun And Games" with paintings by GaHee Park" @ Gallery Perrotin on Orchard Street in the Lower East Side (driveby ).
At Marc Strauss on Grand Street (between the Lower East Side and Chinatown) I spotted 2 interesting exhibitions: Expressionism From Eastern Europe & Shadowland - Eastern European Artists of the Post-Communist Era. The images above are by Zsolt Bodoni & Alexander Tinei (expressionism shadowland).
I was impressed by the powerful expressionist paintings by Mercedes Llanos seen @ gallery Amanita on Manhattan`s touristy Bowery (driveby).
At Andrew Kreps Gallery I saw the "Beautiful Explosions" by Goshka Macuga, who is a member of the Royal Academy of Arts in London ( driveby).
At Lyles & King in Chinatown I admired "Tableaux Rosa" by Regina Parr (driveby).
Gallery Long Story Short, also in Chinatown, impressed with "Imagined Landscapes" by the Chinese artist Liane Chu (driveby).
Gallery Rachel Uffner on Suffolk Street in Lower East Side exhibited paintings by Sarah-Martin Nuss ( driveby).
Half Gallery in East Village showed Armig Santos`Memoria ( driveby).
The Hole on Bowery pleased with Nastaran Shahbazi`s "Wilde Roses" ( driveby).
Gallery Gratin, a tiny but ambitious place on Avenue B, presented "The 14th Floor - A Group Exhibition". The image above by Shelby Jackson reminds me of 1920s German expressionism and the Bauhaus movement ( driveby).
Thierry Goldberg Gallery showed "Collective Body" including the nude by Lorenzos Amos ( driveby).
And in May & November happened the highlights of the year - the global auction houses celebrated their huge annual auctions. Above you can see Rene Magritte`s magical "L'empire des lumières", auctioned @ Christie´s Fall auction (driveby ).
In May I spotted Mark Tansey`s surreal "Archiv" , also @ Christie`s (driveby ).
Also in May I discovered at Sotheby`s Adrian Ghenie`s hyper-violent "Untitled" (driveby ).
