I loved so many of the works in this exhibit, it was extremely hard to pick a selection of photos for this post, but there is good news if you don’t live in New York – you can download the catalog via Bold Hype‘s website here. If you are in the area, you have no excuse to not check out this exhibit!

Anish Kapoor at Gladstone Gallery in New York through June 9, 2012
Indian born and London based artist Anish Kapoor has two great exhibits showing in New York simultaneously at Gladstone Gallery (through June 9, 2012). Pictured above is one of 22 free-standing cement sculptures (and can be seen at the 515 West 24th Street location).

The second of the 2 part exhibition takes place at Gladstone Gallery (located at 530 West 21st Street) and is a massive dome-shaped sculpture (hollow in the center). Anish Kapoor will be unveiling Britain’s largest public art work at the 2012 Olympics later this year and you know it will be amazing!
Until then, the duo of Anish Kapoor exhibits are running at Gladstone Gallery in New York through June 9, 2012.
Spotted at the opening of these exhibits were writer Salman Rushdie as well as artist Matthew Barney along with Bjork and of course Anish Kapoor was on hand and after the jump, see a photo of me with the artist.

RIP MCA on the marquee of Madison Square Garden
I am a huge Beastie Boys fan, so naturally I have been really sad about the death of MCA (Adam Yauch), but seeing this on the marquee of Madison Square Garden in New York really brought it home, and it made me cry!
RIP Adam! Thank you so much for all the great music that has and will forever rock my world!

"An Economy of Grace" by Kehinde Wiley. Now showing at Sean Kelly Gallery in NYC through June 16, 2012.
Kehinde Wiley is on fire! His art is in the permanent collections across the country and as is the current art trend, he has not one but two major exhibitions happening simultaneously in New York. “An Economy of Grace” is showing at Sean Kelly Gallery and “The World Stage: Israel” is showing at the Jewish Museum.
Kehinde Wiley
The detail, sizes of paintings and color schemes Wiley uses are great and are very impressive when viewed up close. “An Economy of Grace” was inspired by the marginalization of African-American women in art history. In addition, Wiley collaborated with Riccardo Tisci, Creative Director of the famed French couture house Givenchy, who created dresses that Wiley’s models wore. Kehinde Wiley is not stopping there, however. A documentary inspired by “An Economy of Grace” is being made and he’s also designed the artwork for singer Santigold’s latest record. Go Kehinde, go!
Off with that white woman's head!
“An Economy of Grace” by Kehinde Wiley is running through June 16, 2012 at Sean Kelly Gallery, which is located at 528 West 29th Street in New York.

Harmony & Discord by Shepard Fairey. Now showing at Pace Prints in New York through June 16, 2012.
A couple of years ago in May, Shepard Fairey took over New York with public murals, stickers everywhere and a climactic gallery exhibit. Flash forward to May 2012 and Shepard is back in New York. His latest exhibit “Harmony and Discord” features new works, including the largest screen prints he’s done to date.
Harmony and Discord
If you’re a regular reader of this site (and I thank you for your patronage), you know that I love Shepard Fairey. After attending the opening for “Harmony and Discord,” I love him even more. Though he was in the center of a mob scene of fans wanting photos and signatures, Shepard Fairey was more than happy to chat with anyone and everyone around! One young lady asked him some advice as she is a budding artist and student and rather than give a short and curt answer, Shepard must have given her advice for 5 minutes! He was even giving fans stickers and when he handed them out, he gave advice of the best spots to put them up. That was extremely cool, according2g!
Harmony and Discord
Thanks again Shepard and congrats on another great exhibit. “Harmony and Discord” runs through June 16, 2012 at Pace Prints, located at 521 West 26th Street in New York. Obey!
