Art in a Hot New York City Plus updates to ArtNewYorkCity
It’s been so hot here in NYC that it’s hard to think about Art, except to say – let’s be inside to do Art – or be Art, and maybe, swim in it. I’ve gone to a lot of openings of late but haven’t written about them including Heat Waves in a Swamp: The Paintings [...]
