Jeanine Hofland Gallery exhibiits contemporary art. Their vision is to show deliberate art, and platform national and international artists.
Jeanine Hofland Gallery exhibits artist Hannah Perry. The practice of Hannah Perry is an audio–visual melting pot, into which imagery related to love, anger, the male gaze, pop music, and street culture are all mixed. Through an hypnotic process of editing and re-editing, moving and still images, language and music are coalesced into an interlinking but non-linear multi-media network of video, sound-pieces, prints and performances.
Hannah Perry – I’d be lying if I said I was ok (2016) – Triptych, Lacquer and silkscreen print on aluminium board – 72 x 48 x 1.5 inches (182.88 x 121.92 x 3.81 cm)

Artist Diederick Kraaijeveld constructs truly unique photo-realistic collages from salvaged wood.

For over 39 years Gallery Delaive has specialized in Modern and Contemporary Art. An important feature of the gallery is the large collection of original works by Sam Francis on paper and canvas. Gallery Delaive is the exclusive representative of the Sam Francis Foundation for Europe.
Sam Francis (1923 – 1994) occupies a prominent position in post-war American painting. Although associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement and Clement Greenberg’s Post-Painterly Abstraction, unlike many American painters of he time he had direct and prolonged exposure to French painting and to Japanese art which had an individual impact on his work.
Sam Francis (1923-2010) – Join the Chaos – 1990 – 152.1 cm (59 7/8 in.) diameter – Acrylic on tondo shaped canvas, mounted on wood panel and stretcher.
The Amsterdam and Miami based SmithDavidson Gallery, is specialized in Modern and Contemporary Art with a focus on paintings and photography.
Marie Cécile Thijs is an artist with a distinctive signature. Her portraits are still lifes, and her still lifes become portraits. She is influenced by the old masters in painting, yet her work is clearly contemporary. Stillness is key.
Marie Cécile Thijs (Dutch, b. 1964) – Seventeen – Lambda C-print on dibond, framed – 70 x 70 cm / 27.5 x 27.5 inch – Executed in 2016

The Public House of Art has bi-annual themed, eclectic shows that are open to all. They sell photographs in limited editions and unique one-off sculptures and paintings, verified by us and signed by the artist. They believe in housing art that is affordable yet highly collectable. That is why their art can go up in value and status. A nice side note: the work of Eric Guo, Untouchables 3, is selected by the ART NY staff to be featured in their public space. Find the arwork here.
Jenny Boot (1969) started her artistic career as a painter, but soon realised photography was an even more precise medium to express her feelings, a language that gave her more control in translating her vision into images.
Barbara van den Berg (1978) is an insanely talented artist. Did you think the Dutch could only paint flowers and cows? Well, you will have to reconsider after seeing her work. Look closer: some of her collages are the mix of up to 40 different characters.
