I’m thrilled to announce that the single most extraordinary art exhibit of the entire season so far, which began in September, will be part of my Sat. Feb. 12 Chelsea “Best Exhibits” tour.  I don’t make this statement lightly.  Indeed, I’m even going to ramp up my accolades by saying this particular show is one of the top three exhibits in all 9 years I’ve been leading gallery tours.  Yes, it’s even better than last month’s 3D painting works by Patrick Hughes in Chelsea that stunned group after group I brought in.  And it’s better than any museum exhibit I’ve attended in ages.  You’re not going to want to miss it.

No I’m not going to tell you the name of the artist or gallery or even clues about the art, because if I did many of you would just go out and see it on your own and bypass my tour, and I do need to make a living.  So you can see this great show by attending my Feb. 12 Chelsea tour, and then the show won’t appear on any of my scheduled tours after that.

How do I know this show will be such a hit among my participants, when I haven’t yet included it on a scheduled tour?  Because I’ve shown it on several private tours since the show opened, and the response from those participants has been universally ecstatic.  The appeal of the artwork cuts across age, gender, all kinds of background characteristics, and even level of art sophistication.  A first-timer to my tour will likely be just as amazed and affected by the show as a regular who’s attended my tours for years.

What my recent private tour attendees have most praised about this show is the breathtaking scope of the work, and also its achingly profound, yet delightfully amusing statement about humanity.  The visuals are also wonderful.

Oh yeah, and there will be 6 other great shows on this tour as well, what I deem to be that week’s most extraordinary all-new exhibits out of Chelsea’s 300 gallery offerings, a mix of painting, sculpture, electronic media and photography.  This is an experience you’ll remember for years to come.
