Ebony Haynes | Tribeca

Ebony Haynes of Art Space 52 Walker and David Zwirner offers her opinions on the Tribeca area during New York Art Week 2022.

What is your favorite public work? David Hammons, Day’s End, 2021.

What is your favorite hidden art space? LOMEX, 86 Walker Street, #3.

What is not to be missed in the area? Artists Space, 11 Cortlandt Alley.

What is one thing this week (NY Art Week) you’d leave the neighborhood for? NADA New York, Pier 36, South Street.

Can you cite reasons to lure others to the neighborhood? Affordable, luxury brand, bags, and watches.

What is a local site of a great moment in art history? 503 Broadway, the final location of the legendary Just Above Midtown (1974-1986) space.

What is the best-kept secret about the neighborhood? Almost every subway line will get you here.

What’s your favorite watering hole? The Odeon.

Where’s a great relaxing spot to take a break from the fairs? Tribeca Park.

What about this area inspires you creatively or otherwise? The idea that we (in Tribeca and Soho) are part of such a rich history of galleries, spaces, and studios in the neighborhood, going back to the 1960s.

Benjamin Tischer | Chinatown/Lower East Side

Benjamin Tischer of New Discretions offers his opinions on the Chinatown/Lower East Side areas during New York Art Week 2022.

What is your favorite public work? Short-lived, but Acer’s New Museum facelift. Wow.

What is your favorite hidden art space? Rupert Goldsworthy’s pop-up at 191 Chrystie #2. Larry Krone! Billy Miller! Apartment show!

What is not to be missed in the area? Metrograph is so great for the movies. I always forget it’s there. The eggplant at Hwa Yuan Szechuan. And Coming Soon is the best spot for gifts ever.

What is your favorite art-gang hang? Oh, I try to only hang out in apartment parties these days. I mean, Clandestino in a pinch? Bacaro remains lovely, after all these years.

What is one thing this week (NY Art Week) you’d leave the neighborhood for? Future Fair! Chelsea is old-school, but Rachel and Rebecca run a very chic boutique art fair. Independent, too, but you all already know that.

Can you cite reasons to lure others to the neighborhood? Sure, Tribeca may be cooler, but Henry Street is a community. All the gallerists hang outside and smoke cigarettes and garden. (Shout out to SITUATIONS, FIERMAN, No Gallery, Public Access, 56 Henry and Thomas!)

What’s your favorite watering hole? See above. Clandestino in a pinch, but the cocktails at Ja Ja Ja are amazing. Those frozen mezcal negronis.

Who is a current artist you want to acquire? Samantha Nye. Currently has a show at Candice Madey. Imagine Slim Aarons photographing the Golden Girls having an orgy.

Where’s a great relaxing spot to take a break from the fairs? Who has time to relax?

What is a local site of a great moment in art history? In Lower East Side? I mean, there was that Bjarne Melgaard show at Ramiken Crucible with baby white tigers. I know he’s out of favor, but that was really something special. And not that I was there, but that conversation with Burroughs and Warhol at the Bunker where Burroughs talks about how scary helicopters are. Art historical? Not sure, but the YouTube video is so great. Also, now that the Giorno Foundation opened their shop you can actually visit the Bunker!

What is your favorite artist’s studio to visit? It’s a tie. First, Dietmar Busse. He’s so brilliant and his studio is a million floors up and full of plants. Also, Lucky De Bellevue. Every time I go to his studio, it seems like the walls shift. He’s also been doing all these amazing paintings based on Fassbender films. Both such good conversationalists!

What is the best-kept secret about the neighborhood? All the tea has already been spilled. That plant store that took over INVISIBLE-EXPORTS is pretty great though. They have huge cactuses for $100. Those cost twice as much in the Village.

What about this area inspires you creatively or otherwise? LES is solid New York melting pot. And it’s still neighborhood-y. Like, people would come by and visit. Not even into art. They’d just come by cuz you were there. I miss the LES.

Bets on who buys the Basquiat?

 

With top Basquiat buyer Yusaku Maezawa turning the tables to become the top seller with the upcoming Untitled (1981), everyone is wondering who will replace him as the record-setting bidder. With its unpublished estimate of $70MM, Phillips’ sale will be a major test of the Basquiat market. Only two other Basquiats have sold higher at auction since Maezawa paid $57MM for the work in 2015—including the record $110MM he paid in 2017. Here are our bets for likely buyers:

Adrian Cheng Chi-kong – Founder of the K11 art center, Hong Kong real estate and retail magnate who openly buys at auction.

Muhammad Bin Salman – Saudi Crown Prince who paid $415MM for Leonardo’s Salvator Mundi.

House of Thani – Qatar’s royal family, whose museums are overseen by the emir’s daughter, Sheikha Al-Mayassa.

Fertitta Brothers – Palms Casino owners and UFC entrepreneurs, underbidders for the record $110MM sale in 2017 of Untitled (1982).

The buyer could remain a mystery well after the sale. Many top collectors in Asia are very discreet, such as the unknown Asian collector who paid $91MM last year for Basquiat’s In this Case (1983), and the unknown buyer of Warrior (1982) for $41MM in Hong Kong. Christie’s’ Jacky Ho was on the phone for both of these unknown bidders.

If for some reason the work significantly underperforms, one of the following regulars of the high-end Basquiat market could swoop in:

The Mugrabis – Leading U.S.-collecting family that paid $40MM for The Guilt of Gold Teeth (1982) last year, and $37MM for The Field Next to the Other Road (1981) in 2015.

Christophe Van de Weghe, Guggenheim, Asher, Associates, and John Sayegh-Belchatowski are also frequent bidders at the top end of the Basquiat market for their clients.

Other record-setting Basquiat Buyers include:

Ken Griffin – Citadel founder, paid over $100MM in the 2020 private sale of Boy and a Dog in a Johnnypump (1982), a work comparable in scale to the piece at Phillips.

Steve Wynn – casino and resort owner, paid $50M for Versus Medici (1982) last year.

Daniel Sundheim, Connecticut-based hedge fund manager who paid $35MM in the 2016 private sale of Dustheads (1982), lowering the record $47MM Jho Low paid with embezzled funds from Malaysia’s 1MDB scandal.
