A recent trip to the Art New York art fair during Frieze week culminated in a meeting with gallery director JoAnne Artman of JoAnne Artman Gallery. Originally based on the west coast, Ms. Artman has recently opened a space in Chelsea. We were fortunate to be given the chance to collaborate with the Frames and Stretchers team on a project for her.
