A fascinating week of Art Immersion May 6th – 12th 2020. FRIEZE NYC Art Fair is now recognized as NY’s most important Art Fair. In 2012, Frieze UK launched Frieze NYC, which takes place in early May on Randall Island. Frieze NYC offers serious art enthusiasts the opportunity to encounter an exceptional quality and range of contemporary artwork and installations. 2020 will mark the ninth edition of the ever-inspiring Frieze NYC Art Fair. Avec Pleasure would love for you to join our group and experience all that New York City has to offer you.
With a new era upon us, there’s never been a better time to put yourself first, to discover the true art enthusiast within and to share that experience with others who also love all things visual and cultural.
Avec Pleasure has secured tickets to this event for everyone on the tour.
Explore Kusama’s eternal love for plants
Plants and landscapes are inextricably woven into Kusama’s multifaceted art. NYBG’s multiple installations include the artist’s signature mirrored environments and monumental floral and vegetal sculptures across the 250-acre landmark landscape and buildings.
In and around the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, the artist’s two dimensional work comes to life through a seasonal progression of violas, salvias, zinnias, chrysanthemums, and other colorful annuals, while her plant-inspired, polka-dotted sculptures are nestled among meadow grasses, bellflowers, water lilies, and more. This mesmerizing indoor-outdoor spectacle is designed to change with the seasons, transforming among tulips and irises in the spring and pumpkins and chrysanthemums in the fall.
Enjoy Kusama’s iconic sculptures, including Hymn of Life: Tulips (2007) in the Conservatory Courtyard Pool; in the LuEsther T. Mertz Library Building, explore her signature mirrored environment Pumpkins Screaming About Love Beyond Infinity (2017); vibrant nature-based paintings, biomorphic collages, works on paper, and botanical sketches; and more.
