NEW YORK, NY.- Anchored by the Metropolitan Museum, the Upper East Side is home to many beautiful galleries tucked away in historic townhouses. Showing a broad selection of fine art in all media, including European, American, and Australian art by living artists as well as Old and Modern Masters, and coinciding with Frieze and TEFAF art fairs, the UES Art Walk adds an exciting event to the New York Spring calendar.

At the northern end of the art walk, Hans P. Kraus will show 19th century French photographs made for painters. On 81st Street on the first floor Mireille Mosler will show a selection of works titled Random Girls + Flowers, and on the 2nd floor Jill Newhouse Gallery will exhibit a collection of Edward Hopper drawings from a private collection, alongside watercolor views of Paris done in 1904 by Spanish artist Enrique Atalaya.

D’Lan Contemporary will mount a show of Australian art, also on view at their 73rd Street location.

Around the corner, modern and contemporary artists will be found at Victoria Munroe Fine Art’s show of multimedia art by Varujan Boghosian and Nan Swid. Sprüth Magers will have a show of Rosemarie Trockel, and Barbara Mathes Gallery will mount a group show of 20th century artists.



On 79th Street, Acquavella Galleries has a solo show of Miquel Barceló, and next door Skarstedt will exhibit paintings by Martin Kippenberger. One block away, Almine Rech has a show of Pablo Picasso, and nearby at 1018 Madison Avenue, Michael Werner Gallery will present works by Sanya Kantarovsky, while Fleiss-Vallois will host a two floor group show of contemporary artists.

For work by Old Masters, head to Shepherd W&K Galleries, where small scale 19th century works will be on view, and to Robert Simon Fine Art for a selection of Old Master paintings from the gallery’s collection. Exhibiting some of the earliest works in the event, Nicholas Hall will have a show of 17th century Italian paintings.

HS Rare Books and Les Enluminures will both show selections from their inventory of rare books and manuscripts. In the same building, Van Doren Waxter has two different shows, one featuring Louise Fishman and the other featuring 20th century female artists.
