My Next Show - Prince Street Gallery, Chelsea, New York

Earlier this year, I made a statement that I would have chance to show my work in Chelsea, the mecca of contemporary art in the US.

It was rather a boast and I am very glad and relieved to receive a notification from Prince Street Gallery, in Chelsea, New York City, that my "White Dress" would be included in their annual national juried exhibition, 12 - 30 July 2011.  The juror this year is William Bailey, who is represented in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art and was elected to the National Academy of Design and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. 

The notification letter informed me that Mr. Bailey selected 64 pieces from 934 images out of 259 submissions.

Opening Reception: Saturday, July 16, 3 – 6.

Prince Street Gallery is located in Chelsea and originated in SoHo in 1970. The year 2010 marked the gallery’s 40th anniversary.

530 West 25th Street
New York, NY 10001
Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 11-6

My selected work "White Dress" was also shown in ViewPoint 2007, 39th Annual National Juried Art Competition, Cincinnati Art Club, Ohio, November 2007.

New York Gallery Wrap Up

I am getting anxious to finish my reports of my New York trip in September. I'm afraid that my readers might be tired of them as well. I am going to wrap it up soon.

In this post, I'll address other galleries I've seen, besides those reported before -- Arslan at Dillon Gallery, Jennifer Steinkamp at Lehmann Maupin Gallery, David Antonides in Broadfoot & Broadfoot Gallery, Liao Yibai at Mike Weiss Gallery, and other important displays in alternative locations such as Tom Otterness's Life Underground in subway station, and Barry McGee's Mural in Soho.

As I mentioned before, SoHo gallery scene had pretty much dried up and only a handful galleries, such as Broadfoot and Broadfoot, together with street vendors held some interests.  Below are a few pictures I took in neighborhood in and around traditional SoHo gallery zone.

Chelsea was still teeming with galleries and attracts much foot traffic.  I visited a few very interesting galleries and a handful quite exciting ones, such as Dillon Gallery as reported before, and also some galleries showcasing art works appealed me somewhat less:

Near the end of my visit, I saw a van unloading paintings to a gallery.  I would love to have my paintings unloading there some day.
