We went back to New York to see a new show of works by Stan VanDerBeek’s, where Stan’s daughter Sara showed us round
It was also lovely to meet up with Johannes VanDerBeek. A truly talented family
Next up was a visit to Bortolami to see works by two great artists: Mary Obering
and the brilliant Piero Dorazio
At Pace Gallery it was lovely to see some paintings by Chuck Close. Sadly, he passed away in 2021, but this exhibition brought together his final paintings, many of which had never been publicly exhibited
Tiffany and I dropped into Lisson Gallery to see the work of Elaine Cameron-Weir which we thought was stunning. Elaine is such a unique artist with an original perspective on life
Then it was time for the opening of the Whitney Biennale, and there was so much to see! I loved the work of Constantina Zavitsanos, who seeks to make space for collective acts of sensing and feeling that highlight some of the joys of the cross-disability community
Artist Demian DinéYazhi’s work is intentionally telegraphic; hung by the window so that it is visible from inside the Museum and out, and mounted on frameworks that suggest protest signs
We saw many people including Roselee Goldberg, who had her picture taken by Peter Fleisig
Here is a very proud Chrissie Iles who curated the show
The foyer was bustling with people
We were very excited about our new acquisition by Jamian Juliano-Villani
At the same time in London, I was sad to miss lovely talk given by Zabludowicz Collection curator Julia Greenway with Ding Shilun
There was a wonderful celebration of Sarah Weir in NYC. I felt so lucky to work with her when she was CEO of Development at the Olympic Park in London. She was a special lady and her last post was working with Jacob Rothschild in Waddington. Very sadly Jacob also passed away recently. May they Rest in Peace
One of my favourite artists Frank Stella also recently passed away, and I was delighted to see his most magnificent works at Jeffrey Deitch. The works were so rigorous and ambitious
