Chelsea
Multi-million-dollar mind-blowing exhibitions like you've never dreamed.
Better than any museum.
Ideal for first-timers wanting a peek at the future of Art History.
The best and newest architecture in NYC
Tribeca
Grittier secret spaces (often with no signage or obvious entrance) for art world insiders only (and us).
Young fearless artists testing new ideas on a low budget.
Longer walking & stairs (a number of galleries are 2nd or 3rd floor with stair access only).
Those with collecting curiosity should book Chelsea first and Tribeca second for full view of art market functionality.
Coffee
If you’d just like to grab a coffee before the galleries open for a list of recommendations or questions about collecting, see my “availability” below to book a time.
Also a great option if all tours are booked!
“Full of energy, intelligence, and creativity. I am an artist myself but my partner was just coming along for the ride. However, at the end of our stay in New York, he said that the tour was the best part. I would do it again in a heartbeat.”
