All-New Chelsea Fall Art Gallery Walk
Join members of the Columbia Club of New York on Saturday, October 3rd for a highly engaging art gallery walk of best shows in Chelsea galleries. Organized as part of a broader art program for our club by CUCNY member Christine Keeley, NYC Photographer and owner of @christinekeeleystudios, you will be led on an expertly planned, 2-hour art gallery walk of up to 8 galleries by founder of Look@NYArt, Efren Olivares.
This walk includes new solo shows by international artists, including painting, sculpture, photography, and more as available. Join us as we explore a fantastic museum-quality show of sculptures and others works by Lynda Benglis, spanning five decades of her career. Benglis broke new ground in 1968 by pouring latex on the floor of her studio, essentially blurring the lines between painting and sculpture. At Gagosian, we will explore a superb Brice Marden retrospective, including works on loan from major institutions. We will explore why Marden is viewed as a highly influential abstract artist whose work is Minimalist yet deeply humanistic.
This walk involves reasonable walking distances within Chelsea, of no more than 8 to 10 blocks.
