#8 Cardi Gallery

#7 David Zwirner gallery

On the left: “Untitled” by Carol Bove — On the right: works from William Eggleston and Carol Bove

This is the sixth participation of the David Zwirner gallery at Frieze New York. The duo exhibition of William Eggleston and Carol Bove was truly a must-see!

#6 Heller Gallery

The Heller Gallery is a very well-established gallery within the New York art scene that doesn’t follow the mainstream trends! Undefined colours and surprising glassworks convey strong emotional and mythological messages.

#5 303 Gallery

On the left: “Please participate” by Jeppe Hein — On the right: “Resist” by Kim Gordon

The 303 Gallery played the (easy) card of the classic neon art installation to attract the bloggers and make them discover their curated selection.

#4 Galerìa La Acacia

“Jellyfish” by Amarilys González and Yailyn González, the “Plastic Guajiras”

The Galerìa La Acacia was founded in 1981 and is located in Havana, Cuba. Here, the vision is to curate international artists who are able to mix contemporary forms of art with the traditional ones in order to create new forms of dialogue.

#3 Salon 94

On the left: A sculpture by Francesca Di Mattio and an acrylic painting by Marina Adams — On the right: “Gold Cage PKW” by Sylvie Fleury (2003)

The Salon 94 is a New York based art gallery, with three spaces in Manhattan. You can love it or absolutely hate it, but the least we can say is that the Golden cage has really caught everyone’s attention.

#2 Galerie Gisela Capitain

On the left: “Stanley” by Samson Young (2014) — On the right: “Major battle” by Richard Smith

The Amazing Galerie Gisela Capitain gallery is based in Cologne. During Frieze New York 2017 the gallery gave a taste of its hyper-contemporary artists. The public had the possibility to get a taste of Samson Young who is going to represent Hong Kong at the 2017 Venice biennale.

#1 VI, VII Gallery

Eva LeWitt artworks.

Eva LeWitt investigates the relationship between different materials and the VI,VII Gallery took the chance to show some of her large-scale wall installations and sculptures.
