After my instagram feed has recently become consumed by images of the Jeff Koons: Now exhibition at Newport Street Gallery, I decided to take my boyfriend there to check it out. With both of us sharing a heavy interest in art, i'm not sure why we have never visited this place before. I've always wanted to see Jeff Koons' work in the flesh after Raf Simons mentions his art in Dior and I (see first photo). I love nothing more than super fresh, minimal, clean, open galleries and Newport Street is exactly that. I often find that I end up admiring the gallery space as well as the artwork itself. I won't ruin it if any of you guys intend to go, but some of his work just fits into the gallery so well. I applaud the transitional spaces and the large open archways between each exhibition. Lucky for us, there was a guy giving a tour about the individual pieces of work which was super helpful and beyond interesting. Though the collection is small, I highly recommend a visit.
This place is just the gift that keeps on giving!
