Some new shows not to Miss in Chelsea..Sarah Pickering and El Anatsui
We did the rounds of many of the new dull shows opening around Chelsea last Thursday.. Of course...every gallery was just packed with people looking for free drinks great art.
Interestingly, not too many were sold out.. But there were at least 2 shows we all thought were... not to be missed..
1. Sarah Pickering's New "Fire Scene" Show at Daniel Cooney Fine Art ..
We at MAO have been a long time fan of
this hot British photographer.. and
this is Sarah's second solo show in NYC... Congrats!
and she's done it again.. with an impressive new heated body of work.

FYI, You can see another one if his works on the wall at the Metropolitan Museum! Here's a brief NYT mention of it!
The first major work of contemporary African sculpture acquired by the Met..
Oh.. and if you have a chance..
be sure to check out the well fluffed thoughtful and fun Christopher K. Ho show at the Edward Winkleman Gallery, and the new "Caucus" group show at Schroder Romero which includes one kick ass great David Wojnarowicz photograph!

well fluffed
If only...Bambino's idea of fluffing before the scan was a nanosecond of a hug and a shove out from behind the curtain. :-)
