Galleries from London, Paris, Berlin and New York are showcasing their big guns at the Armory show in Pier 94 of New York City this weekend. The walk is enjoyable and some of the classics stand out like the dots and the diamond skull of Damien Hirst of the Paragon Press gallery in London, the Gilbert & George antics of Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac of Paris, and the new addition of Ryan McGinley in the Alison Jacques gallery of London. However, the nouveau art is the reason one goes to these venues and what gains all the excitement... So check out the Hermes over-sized bag, priced at $75,000, by Jonathan Selligen from Jack Shainman Gallery of New York and the Idris Khan painting "Hearing Voices... Schumann's Violin concerto 2007" from Galerie Thomas Schulte in Berlin... among many others.
