Chelsea Galleries Reaction

           





                 Chelsea is a great place to find art that is both fun and exciting to look at. One of great things about the artwork featured in the galleries in Chelsea is the fact that you can purchase some of art featured at these galleries; if you were rich. This trip gave me a sense of what I truly would want if I were a wealthy artist looking for great artwork to purchase. It helped better understand what types of artworks are out there. Some of the galleries are also free so you can walk in and view the artworks whenever you like. During the trip I saw many galleries that were both exciting and visually fun to look at. For example, one gallery featured an untitled piece that we actually were allowed to interact with. This piece was completely made out of some sort of quilt that hung from the celling. Pieces such as that one would probably attract buyer who might have kids.

           Some paintings that really caught my attention was one by Richard Avedon, that featured a old black and white photo of an elderly lady with a scared but disbelieve look in her eyes. I was creped out but also curious of what was it that she was scared at. Richard Avedon is known for his photographs of random people. One giant panoramic style photo featured nine businessmen wearing suits, standing side by side. Many of the galleries in that I saw in Chelsea were exciting to view. It helped me better appreciate the artwork that is available to me
