If you're still hunkering for more art after all of that, many galleries in Chelsea are staying open late through the weekend and will be open during the day on Sunday. Best thing to do if you know you want to pop in to one or two is to call the gallery before you go.

And, if you are planning a trip to Chelsea, don't leave home without checking out Chelsea Art Galleries , an extremely informative and easy to navigate website on all things Chelsea. The coolest aspect of the website is the ability to build a printable "gallery tour" by clicking on your galleries of choice. Edward Winkleman recommends Chelsea Art Galleries, too.
Update: ArtCal is another great resource for openings and gallery shows. Thanks Barry.
Just for the record, I have bought art simply because I loved it. I didn't check out the artist's c.v. or make sure that the gallery was reputable. I have collected a lot of art and feel pretty secure when going with my gut. When I meet people who are interested in putting together a contemporary art collection (and not simply decorating their home, but really investing in up and coming artists), most say that they feel pretty "stupid" when starting out. I am often asked to share some tips on how to make smarter decisions when purchasing those first few works of art. They have all been told to buy what they love, but some want to know more. That post was one tip. Just a suggestion. There are many ways to go about collecting art.
Loving the art you purchase is important because you have to live with it. You are responsible for its care and longevity. But just because you love it does not make it a valuable or important work of art. If you are serious about collecting art, and not just decorating your home, make sure to do your homework on the artist and the gallery before you buy. Is it a reputable gallery? Do they have relationships with museum curators and established collectors? What is the artist’s educational background? Has the artist been reviewed by an established art critic? Has the artist’s work been collected by a museum or prominent collector? These are just a few of the many questions you should ask to establish if the art that you have just fallen in love with is worth considering as an addition to your collection.
Elvis has left the building. The fat lady has sung. The Republicans have left the city. Summer is officially over. It is time to go back to school. Head to the School of Visual Arts' new gallery in Chelsea to check out their fall season show: Beginning Here: 101 Ways . Curated by Jerry Saltz with Rachel Gugelberger, the group show consists of works by contemporary artists whose careers began at SVA. Some of my personal favorites appear here - Rob de Mar, Steve DeFrank, Moira Dryer, Robert Lazzarini, Steve Mumford, Orit Raff, Lordy Rodriguez, Jon Rosenbaum, Lisa Ruyter, Sarah Sze, Lane Twitchell, and Anton Vidokle - along with some well-knowns - Keith Haring, Joseph Kosuth, Sol Lewitt, and Lorna Simpson. A complete catalog of the works in the show is available online.
Featured fantasy art Artist - Meet a new name in our Gallery-worldwide. We present you Evgeny Agnin's collection of surrealistic artworks. Creator of ethno-rock music style, with the origin of former Shaman family Agnin is worth then just looking through
Fantasy Art - Fantasy Art often depict unexpected or irrational
objects in an atmosphere of fantasy, creating a dreamlike scenario. Surrealism - Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision. ( Salvador Dali )
