New York art dealers Karin Bravin and John Lee of BravinLee Programs have mounted "The Golden Thread II" at 207 Front Street in South Street Seaport, a historic 1797 building. The exhibition brings together 60 artists, including 10 new site-specific installations, with works spanning textile techniques such as needlework, embroidery, felting, quilting, and weaving. Highlights include Tura Oliveira's "Wheel of Fortune" (2025), a bloodred humanoid figure tangled in a historic grain hoist. Prices range from a few hundred dollars to $70,000. The show runs for a month, coinciding with the Frieze fair, and is curated with input from Elissa Auther, deputy director of curatorial affairs and chief curator at the Museum of Arts and Design.
