Frieze New York opened on a warm Wednesday morning, with a packed spring art week schedule that saw the fair and TEFAF's US edition separated by just 24 hours. The VIP day was animated with strong sales, including Jeff Koons's *Hulk (Tubas)* reportedly selling for $3 million at Gagosian, which presented the artist's first collaboration since he left the gallery in 2021. Other notable sales included works by Liza Lou, Joan Snyder, David Salle, and Adam Pendleton, with Pace Gallery selling all six of Pendleton's paintings within hours. Galleries reported a slower but deliberate pace of buying, with collectors taking more time to make decisions.

Frieze and NADA New York’s Early Sales Signal Buyer Confidence

Frieze New York opened its VIP preview on May 7, with early sales indicating cautious but steady buyer confidence amid economic uncertainty and the recent acquisition of the fair by Endeavor's former CEO Ari Emanuel. American buyers dominated, while Asian and European collectors were largely absent. Mega-galleries like Gagosian and Pace reported significant sales, including Jeff Koons's Hulk Elvis sculptures and works by Adam Pendleton and Lynda Benglis, though the atmosphere was more subdued and negotiation-friendly than in previous years.

Nasher's "Dis/orient" exhibit seeks to challenge how we think of Asian art

The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University has opened "Dis/orient," a new exhibition featuring works by nine artists from the Asian diaspora. The show includes a raindrop-shaped mirror, stacks of Botan rice bags, burned denim on canvas, and a video of a man attempting to chop an apple on a spinning record player. Curatorial associate Julianne Miao explains that the exhibition confronts orientalism and stereotypes about Asian art, which is often reduced to ancient scrolls and ceramics. Featured artists include Korakrit Arunanondchai, Stephanie Shih, Taiyo Kimura, Pinaree Sanpitak, Asuka Anastacia Ogawa, Ravelle Pillay, and local artist Lien Truong, whose painting "My mother, she fell from the sky" reimagines orientalist depictions of Asian women. The exhibition runs until July 19.
