New York Art Week kicks off a busy spring of fairs, auctions and more
The early May weather should be ideal to trek to the bank of the East River on the Lower East Side, where Nada New York’s eighth edition features exhibitors from as far afield as Tokyo, Istanbul and Frankfurt. The artists on view are similarly wide-ranging, including the Atlanta-based painter Stephen Thorpe at Denny Dimin Gallery’s stand; Rome-based Auriea Harvey, whose augmented reality work The Mystery v5-dv2 (chroma screen) (2021) pays homage to memento mori iconography in the bitforms stand; and a group of children showcasing their works in the Children’s Museum of the Arts stand. In addition to its ongoing solo show Emilie Louise Gossiaux’s gentle earthenware ceramics and ballpoint and crayon drawings at its Tribeca space, Mother will feature more works by the New York-based blind artist in its Nada stand, alongside pieces by Jenny Morgan, Anders Hamilton and Marcy Hermansader. And another Tribeca gallery, JDJ, similarly gives platform to its ongoing solo show of works by Bea Scaccia, matching her otherworldly paintings with works by Heather Guertin and Sharon Madanes at its Nada stand.
