My husband and I stopped by the David Zwirner galleries on 19th and 20th Streets last Saturday, and…read moreI was really glad we did. David Zwirner is one of the prestige art galleries in NYC. They have the 19th St and 20th St galleries in Chelsea, as well as a gallery on Walker Street and another on E 69th. We stopped by the gallery on W 19th to see "The Great Unseen Collection: A Selection of Works from Joel and Carole Bernstein," which was great and included works by Milton Avery, Romare Bearden, Audrey Flack, Alex Katz, and Alice Neel! (The exhibition closes on June 13 if you want to see it.) The gallery was on the smaller side but very minimalist, clean, and beautiful. (Across the street from 525 W 19th, is another David Zwirner gallery at 533 W 19th that has an exhibit of Lisa Yuskavage, so stop by that location as well if you're interested!) After our visit, I signed up for David Zwirner's email newsletter so I can keep up with future exhibits. The gallery's shows are museum-quality, and I look forward to visiting again in the future!

My friend and I visited this gallery to buy an art piece of Alexander Calder's mobile. It was…read moreamazing even though I couldn't afford any art piece in this gallery, the minimum worth was $200,000 and my friend's favorite was 17 millions. The reason the price was high because every single element of his Art makes people excited. Alexander Calder is the creator of the mobile, inspired by Piet Mondrian and Joan Miro. And the name 'mobile' given by Marcel Duchamp, very famous for the 'Fountain'. I was also very excited to see many art piece of Alexander Calder at once and never visited to buy and negotiate the price of the Art. My first time experience. The gallery manager was very kind and explained everything we wanted. I will come back as many as possible.

You learn about the artist, their expressive alphabet, how to 'read' the painting as a viewer, how their expressive style enriched over time, their inspirations and how they weave into the paintings and more. Comparing it to MoMa and the bigs are meal to patisserie comparison. When it hit the mark as it did here, Gagosian was a delightful experience.

It being such a hot summer day, checking out the art at the Gagosian was a doubly great idea. My…read moreinitial thought was the Picasso exhibit at the location to the west of Central Park, but a friend told me about the Takashi Murakami Japonisme exhibit at the Gagosian which was near the Genesis House. Perfect! The Gagosian gallery area wasn't huge, but held a lot of pieces, both large and small. The staff encouraged me to not get too close, in order to protect the artwork, but I was still able to see the textures and to locate the little fun surprises hidden in the paintings. This was a great exhibit for even those who are not normally into art.

One of my favorite features was the collection of old books and the hidden staircase, which added so much character and charm to the experience. There are plenty of beautiful spots for photos, and every room feels like a step back in time. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a unique place to visit, this is definitely worth the stop. I enjoyed walking through the exhibits and learning about the history while admiring the impressive collection of books and artifacts. Highly recommend for history lovers, book enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a memorable experience.

Christie's 20 Rockefeller Plaza…read moreNew York, NY 10020 This prestigious auction house is located in the heart of Rockefeller Center. Throughout the year, different types of memorabilia are on display to the public before being auctioned. During my visit, I saw a wide variety of memorabilia from the Jim Irsay Collection. This included movie props, screenplays, music, sports, and autographs. I was especially impressed when I witnessed the Golden Ticket, a signed Babe Ruth baseball, and The Beatles drumset. Admission is free and complimentary cookies and coffee are served in the lobby. Due to the value of the merchandise, all visitors must pass through a metal detector. Large size bags are not allowed in the gallery, but they may be left at the Coat Check. The only disadvantage is that the exhibitions are temporary. If there is a specific exhibit you wish to view, drop everything and head over immediately before the souvenirs are sold. #jimirsaycollection #christiesnyc #christiesnycauction #rockefellercenternyc #christiesauction

Featuring two exhibits when I visited, one entitled peep show and the other Pistoletto I must admit I was rather taken aback by the frankly graphic nature of Peep Show, though certainly not offended - but rather intrigued and quite impressed by the photography displayed at Pistoletto. All told the exhibit contained about 2/3 as much art as Neue and 1/4 as much as Guggenheim - and was $10 and $18 cheaper than each, respectively - and I enjoyed the James staff and approach much more.
