Armory Week: Armory Art Show NYC

Yoshitomo Nara

The ARMORY Art Show as it’s name implies, was literally a stockpile of the art world’s heavy artillery. With works from Damien Hirst, Yoshitomo Nara, Kara Walker, Kenny Scharf, Kehinde Wiley, Gilbert & George, Julian Opie, Marilyn Minters, Tom Sachs and many more, the stockade of high caliber art stretched the imagination. Much like Art Basel in Miami, we struggled to keep up with the long aisles filled with notable galleries such as White Cube, Emmanuel Perrotin, Honor Fraser, and Mizuma that all brought their top guns to Manhattan. We even ran into our friend Marsea Goldberg of New Image Art and she told us that she was in town to visit some of her artists. (more on that soon.)

We shot a few choice images for you after the jump.

Ironically saw this sign after we found out that Sashie Masakatsu sold out...
