Frieze New York opens today, and those of us @the_apaa have been asked by @friezeofficial to pick our fair favorites in two categories - over $100k and under $25k. Here are mine, from two fantastic New York artists, Sam Moyer and Bianca Beck. Read more about their work, as well as the artists chosen by my amazing colleagues, through the link in bio.

@the_graymarket , Tim Schneider’s always-insightful column on @artnet , takes a look this week at the recent spate of stratospheric rises in prices for some of the hottest young artists of today. It’s a great read, and I have got a few thoughts in there along with @worthartadvisory . Thank you, Tim and Artnet, for including me! #artnet #loiehollowell #averysinger #emilymaesmith #parksfineart #artadvisor #artadvisory

Thank you @artnet and #eileenkinsella for including me in today’s article on September’s forthcoming IRL art fairs. I cannot be more excited about @thearmoryshow and @independent_hq , both of which open in NYC next week. Those of us with a voracity for looking at and learning about art in person have a hunger that needs to be sated!
A few shots from the week before last, in the space of one of ny San Francisco clients, just before an event at which I spoke about her art collection. Over the past ten years, she has assembled a decidedly non-cookie cutter, completely “her” collection of contemporary art, driven solely by her love for each artwork. I am honored to have collaborated with her on it. Thank you @butch_haze for putting together a beautiful evening! #robertlongo #jeppehein #emmawebster #josedavila #roylichtenstein #dohosuh #idriskhan #gabrieldelamora #jacobhashimoto #seanlanders #sharoncore
Frieze New York, (May 6-10) it was a pleasure. In March 2020 I never thought I would utter the words, “I really miss art fairs,” and yet that is a sentiment I have felt multiple times over the past year. Huge, huge kudos to @friezeofficial for pulling it off during this rule-laden and restrictive time. Herewith a few of my favorites from the booths: Julie Mehretu aquatint etching at White Cube, Sophie Calle hidden and exposed at Perrotin, Ewa Juszkiewicz at Gagosian, Dana Lok “Fermented Sentence” at Clima, Otis Houston Jr at Gordon Robichaux, Darren Bader silkscreen on canvas and He Xiangyu oilstick on paper at Andrew Kreps and Gabriel Orozco sculpture and tempera painting at kurimanzutto. #juliemehretu #sophiecalle #ewajuszkiewicz #danalok #otishoustonjr #darrenbader #hexiangyu #gabrielorozco
Hoping that entering one’s fifth decade allows for extended leeway on the yawning gap between event date and social media post. Here is the first of a few highlights of what has transpired at PFA in the past month. First of all, Zona Maco happened - albeit in a gallery-visit, non-art fair form - the last week in April. This Gabriel de la Mora diptych of turkey feathers and human hair was acquired by a client in Texas. One of the five April 29 paintings from Wilfredo Prieto’s “Fake News” series, wherein the artist interpreted, through painting, images seen daily for three weeks on websites known for dispensing misinformation. A detail of Jorge Méndez Blake’s “Dismantling Flaubert (Bibliomania) X,” 2020. And finally, a few pics from my week in Mexico City and Valle de Bravo, and the fantastic, covid-free-but-not-turista-resistant people who made my birthday week so special. Shout outs especiales a @slapnyc y @geoffkarren for your Herculean efforts - love you both sm!
Wonderful daydreamy show of small figurative paintings by Danielle McKinney at Fortnight Institute #daniellemckinney
Olafur Eliasson’s aptly named Your ocular relief at Tanya Bonakdar. If your Covid-times, Zoom-strained eyes could use a mental break, park yourself in the darkened gallery and feast them on this mesmerizing light show. #olafureliasson
William Wegman, “Smoking,” 1976-77 as installed in the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston’s new Kinder Building #williamwegman
John Giorno at Sperone Westwater #johngiorno
Sam Moyer at Sean Kelly - so worth seeing in person - these pics do not do justice #sammoyer #seankellygallery
David Shrigley at Anton Kern #davidshrigley #antonkerngallery
Roni Horn at Hauser & Wirth #ronihorn #hauserandwirth
Thank you @the_graymarket @juliahalperin @artnet for including me in your article analyzing the chasm between female and male artists at auction, and the related abundance of male collectors who bid on them. A quick scan of artists with current gallery shows in NYC thankfully reveals much more parity between the sexes on the primary market...here’s hoping that this balance will wend its way to the secondary market, as well.
