Installed these four David Shrigley works on paper at my client's apartment on the Upper East Side last week. One need not have a huge budget to acquire top work by highly respected artists.

at David Zwirner (@davidzwirner) on 19th Street
through August 12
So profoundly sad how timely Kruger's work continues to be. A #mustsee of a show, in social media parlance.

As my company enters its fourteenth year, I'm excited to announce a new look and a new name: Parks Art Advisory. Since founding my business in 2008, the field of art advisory has grown exponentially, and it feels like the right time to acknowledge this fact with a demonstrative and direct business name.
With this new name comes a fresh and exciting graphic identity, designed by WKSHPS (@wkshps).
I look forward to connecting with you and sharing more from Parks Art Advisory over Instagram very soon.
Walk, run, bike…whatever it takes to get thee to Madison Square Park to see the incredibly thoughtful “Landscape and Memory” installation by Cristina Iglesias. As a huge fan of looking downward in this city - tho in my case mainly to spot the beauty in the centuries-old sidewalks strewn with day-old trash in temporary abstractions - this “ground-forward” sculptural installation really spoke to me. From the press release: “Landscape and Memory will place five bronze sculptural pools, gently flowing with water arriving in different sequences, into the park’s Oval Lawn, harkening back to when the Cedar Creek - now buried underground - coursed across the land where the park stands today.’ #cristinaiglesias
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.
Sam Moyer, “Ester,” 2021, marble, acrylic on plater coated canvas mounted to mdf. 97 x 132 1/4 inches. Bianca Beck, “2022.” wood, wire, paper-mâché, acrylic and oil. 16 x 25 x 14 1/2 inches.
Congratulations to Stan Douglas on his representation of Canada in the 2022 Venice Biennale, opening this week. @labiennale

@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
