The line between art and furniture is thinner than the veil between this world and the next at Sotheby's sale of objects from the home of the late dealer Barbara Gladstone.

Claudia Comte at Barbara Gladstone Gallery

Swiss artist Claudia Comte makes walls the focus of her latest solo show at Chelsea’s Barbara Gladstone Gallery, nodding to US politics, cave paintings and installations like Sol LeWitt’s rule-based wall drawings. Destined to be popular on Instagram as selfie-backdrops, the show reinforces Comte’s wish to make art not just for the art world elite but for everyone. (On view on 24th Street through Feb 16th). Claudia Comte, back wall: The Morphing Scallops (black on white) and right wall: Half Circles in a Grid (black on white) acrylic wall painting, dimensions variable, 2019.

Huang Yong Ping at Barbara Gladstone Gallery

What Huang Yong Ping’s ‘Bank of Sand, Sand of Bank’ lacks in subtlety it makes up for in presence, filling Barbara Gladstone Gallery’s 21st Street Chelsea location with 20 tons of sand and concrete molded to resemble the former HSBC Bank in Shanghai. Once a symbol of opulence, here an omen of potential economic collapse, the hulking neoclassical building was used as a government building after the Chinese revolution and has since been adopted as home by the Pudong Development Bank. (On view through June 9th). Huang Yong Ping, installation view of ‘Bank of Sand, Sand of Bank’ at Gladstone Gallery, May 2018.

We visited the group show curated by Kasper Bosmans at Barbara Gladstone in the company of the artist himself. Here is a couple of things that we learned.
