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.

The Interview: Thelma Golden

Thelma Golden, director and chief curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem, is interviewed ahead of the museum's reopening in a new Adjaye Associates-designed building following a $300 million capital campaign. Golden reflects on her career, including curating the politically charged 1993 Whitney Biennial and the landmark exhibition "Black Male: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary American Art" (1994–95), as well as her influential 2001 show "Freestyle," which introduced the concept of "post-Black" art. The article also highlights the museum's first exhibition in the new building, focusing on artist Tom Lloyd, whose work was featured in the museum's inaugural show in 1968.
