New York is the world's premier metropolis, where new topics happen, including art, and is a symbol of modernity, different from Europe, which has a long history and cultural context, so it is more interesting to show the diversity of art.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, New York has been experiencing a boom in the arts, and any talented artist, from the United States to foreign artists who have settled here, can carve out their own art scene in the Big Apple.
If you're an art buff and you'll be in the heart of contemporary art, this edition will take you on a tour of New York to discover the city's fascinating art scene, from galleries to galleries and open parks.
The Chelsea and Lower East Side areas of New York City have the highest concentration of galleries, and there are currently more than 1,000 galleries in New York City, forming a huge art network for the city.
Founded in 1993 in Soho, New York, David Zwirner Gallery was only a small exhibition room with a few artists, but with the increasing expansion of its scale, it has now become one of the world's leading galleries, with bases in New York, London, Paris and Hong Kong, and is active in the primary and secondary art markets, with nearly 80 artists, and has occupied a pivotal position in the international art scene.
D**id Zwirner, the founder of a family of art dealers, has a sharp and unique vision, and is full of concern for the art world, and the artists of the gallery** are also based on the three major systems of European and American figurative painting, minimalism and photographic art
The Guggenheim Museum on Manhattan's Upper East Side is one of New York's most iconic museums, and the Guggenheim Museum is known for more than just its collections, its architecture is a work of art in itself.
The south rotunda of the Guggenheim Museum has six floors and an exhibition area of about 11,000 square meters. The building is famous for its white spiral ramp and glass dome, which rises slowly at a gradient of 3%, and the exhibits are hung along the curved walls, with a total length of 430 meters. A square high-rise building on the north side has a total of 8 floors, with an exhibition area of about 4,750 square meters.
There are about 8,000 works of modern and contemporary art, including Kandinsky's Composition No. 8, Pollock's No. 18, and Picasso's Woman Ironing Clothes.
Located in Lower Manhattan's West Side, the elevated park is a strip park converted from the abandoned railroad of the West Side Line of New York**, which was demolished in the 1980s, and the local residents spontaneously** rebuilt the abandoned railroad for up to 233 km of green trails in the sky.
With the completion of the elevated park, it has also led to the development of Manhattan's West Side, giving the original dilapidated neighborhood a new look, and the opening of new shopping mall spaces one after another, which can be said to be a textbook of urban planning.
Today's elevated park retains part of the railway track facilities, and has planted a lot of vegetation along the trail, which is full of greenery, and also has many works of art.
The Brooklyn Museum, located in Brooklyn, New York, may not be as well-known and crowded as other venues, but it has become a quiet corner of New York for appreciating art. The Brooklyn Museum has a magnificent façade that blends the architectural features of ancient Rome and ancient Greece.
The museum is the third largest in New York City and houses approximately 1.5 million works of art, ranging from ancient Egyptian art to contemporary art (the main exhibition is still dominated by contemporary art).
Founded in 1977, the New Museum of Contemporary Art was the first museum dedicated to contemporary art in New York since World War II, and they have an interesting purpose: to provide more opportunities for artists who are still alive and not yet well-known, so coming to the New Museum of Contemporary Art is a very different experience to discover many artists you don't know yet!
The exterior of the New Museum of Contemporary Art is also a highlight, and the appearance of SANAA Architects, which was founded by Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima and Tatsue Nishizawa, looks like seven square cabinets looking upwards
The Whitney Museum of Art, one of the four major art museums in New York, was founded in 1931 by Ms. Whitney, and the earliest opportunity for its establishment was that Ms. Whitney wanted to donate her collection of contemporary art to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
In 2015, the Whitney Museum of American Art will be relocated from the Upper East Side of New York City to a Renzo Piano-designed building on the Hudson River. Irregular water chestnuts and inclined planes have become the characteristics of the museum. The Whitney Museum of Art includes theaters, art education centers, restoration studios, art centers, and other departments, and the exhibition halls are mainly distributed on the 5th to 8th floors.
