I went to the opening preview of @independent_hq yesterday at their new location at Pier 36. It was excellent. Spacious and breezy with great galleries and lots of outstanding artwork. Bravo to Elizabeth Dee and all involved. My highlights: 1 + 2: Artist @gogomiro with one of his pieces featured at the one and only, @uhaul_gallery parked out front. They’re mobile so visit their Insta to find out where they’re taking their U-Haul truck all weekend. 3: @virtualtai at @kraupatuskanyzeidler 4: I missed who did this giant installation with a fashion theme…. anyone know? 5: @iandavis43 at @galeriejudin 6: @bettinapousttchi at @buchmann_galerie 7: @chakaiabooker and @miguelriobranco at @davidnolangallery At @thesundaypainter : 8: @ernestoburgos 9: @piotrlakomy 10: @arna.ottarsdottir at @i8gallery 11: Gorgeous paintings by @_maedamasanori_ at @lighthouse_kanata 12: @kentarokumura at @jamescopegallery @vardaxoglou 13: @econover at @abattoirgallery 14: @petra_cortright at @interval.clerkenwell 15: Love the work of @thomas.pics at @europa.nyc 16: @matt_kleberg at @socogallery At @jupiterinc_ : 17: Super cool sculptures by @ryrocklen and 18: Pen drawings/paintings by @j_p_w_3 (Lovely to meet you @claire_hungerford !) 19: @miradayal at @spencerbrownstonegallery 20: @hmheinrich at @sofiasominski #independentartfair #friezeweek #contemporaryart

Photos from Venice! With all the recent buzz about the Biennale, I thought I’d share a few of the flowers I planted in that beautiful Floating City back in 2011. Hard to believe this is already 15 years ago. @labiennale @biennalevenezia_sanmarino @venice.art.biennale #flowerpower #streetart #michaeldefeo #theflowerguy #venicebiennale
