Time to hit the art fair circuit again. As an art Time to hit the art fair circuit again. As an art advisor, the next art fair is never far around the corner. In fact, my life is punctuated by the rhythm of fairs. For me it is Paris in October, Miami in December, Mexico or Los Angeles in February and New York in May. The month of May is jammed packed with fairs in NY, starting with TEFAF and the Independent Art Fair next week, followed by NADA and Frieze the following week. Don’t miss on these many opportunities to see art in person and find that artwork you have always been looking for. Let’s talk. I am here to help, advise you and guide your choice. Art fairs are definitely the fun part of my job!

Still basking in the euphoria of all the great art Still basking in the euphoria of all the great art I saw in Chicago this past week. While Expo Chicago did not disappoint, some of the best art this year was in the galleries. Chicago has a vibrant gallery scene that has deep connection to its history and culture that should not be overlooked by collectors. They bring art that is high quality and that you don’t necessarily get to see elsewhere. Here are 2 outstanding show I saw while in Chicago: #maiacruzpalileo @moniquemeloche and #patrickeugene @marianeibrahimgallery. Maia Cruz Palileo is a Chicago born artist whose work is inspired, among other, by her family homeland, the Philippines.  Patrick Eugene is an Atlanta-based Haitian American artist known for his strickingly beautiful portraits of immigrants. These 2 shows are a must see for anyone going to Chicago! #expochicago #chicagogalleries #artadvisor #highlights #contemporaryart #collectart #comtemporarypainting #buyart #artgalleries #artfairs #maiacruzpalileo #patrickeugene #artisttowatch #privatecollection #mustsee
It’s time to put these artists in their rightful It’s time to put these artists in their rightful place! While the market for women artists has steadily been growing, the findings from Artsy new “Women Artists Market Report” are quite shocking. Women artists account for just 9.3% of the overall amount of artwork that sold at auction in 2022! Yes, only 9.3%, up from 6% the year before. And of the 50 most expensive works sold at auction last year, zero were women. So for all the talk about gender equality, diversity and inclusion, the art world has a lot of catching up to do. Conclusion: the time to buy art by women is now. There are many opportunities for savvy collectors to acquire art by overlooked and undervalued women artists. In my experience as an art advisor, I have witnessed time and time again, that for the same caliber artwork, works by women artists are consistently cheaper. @patsteir #elizabethneel @juliemehretu #johnmitchell @faithringgold @yayoikusama_ #womenartists #contemporaryart #investinwomen #buyart #diversityandinclusion #contemporaryart #artadvisor #collectart #artsy
Nothing replaces seeing art in person. For all the Nothing replaces seeing art in person. For all the online viewing rooms and platforms, art needs to be seen and experienced in person. Art is as much about the work itself, as it is about commumity; it is about the people you meet along the way, from artists to gallerists and art lovers. The human interaction and connection is what makes art alive, personal, and emotionally and intellectually compelling. Come join me on one of my upcoming art tours. In early March, I will lead a tour of some of Tribeca hottest art  galleries and in April I invite you to explore Chicago vibrant art scene and Expo Chicago.
