Beni Chhun: If there for Kusama exhibit, there's no line for the paintings, video installation. The line for the infinity room at 519 west Chelsea (with black door) is also way shorter.
GQ Magazine: From the legendary sexually perverse drawings of cartoonist R. Crumb to the dark psychologically charged paintings of Marlene Dumas, Zwirner continues to challenge the conventional high-art standards.
Borys Pierov: Small art space. Enjoyed free entrance for Kusama’s exhibition to see her paintings. Infinity rooms line was insane - better spend that time to go see them in Mattress Factory Museum in Pittsburgh

Jessica Wickham: Really helpful instructor who guided us through each step. You can be a 1st time painter, or use your own creativity to add in personal elements. Will be going again, happy with my take home painting!
Karen: Excellent way to spend a night with friends - you can book private events. Their artwork selections are awesome. I want to try painting all of them!

Razorfish: Features modern & contemporary paintings, sculpture, photography, mixed-media installations by primarily post-war American and European artists.
Time Out New York: The best place to see museum-quality gallery shows has perfected this high-end form. Shows such as “Picasso and Marie-Thérèse: L’Amour Fou” prove you don’t have to be MoMA to stage a blockbuster. Read more.
Tiffany & Co: Steal away for a weekday afternoon with your favorite art lover and check out the exhilarating masterworks at this gallery, which launched the careers of important contemporary artists.
CheapNYC: The Met is a would renown art museum. Out of the millions of pieces of art here; there something is bound to meet your fancy. From sculptures to paintings from all over the world.
Guillermo Duplá: Not worth it at all as the inside odfthe building (the best bit) has been covered by a white plane sculpture done by Turrell. Just 10 paintings on exhibition. Very disappointing.
SinPlantilla: As in all NYC Museums, beware of the guardian dogs. Owners don't let them sit all day. They are fed visitors. They will attack if you stand too close to a painting.
Tracy Hook: Recently Saw the Burchfield Show...Beautiful and interesting paintings by a once very well known artist.
Nina D: The security guards must have thought I looked suspicious because every single one stared me down like I was going to steal a painting. Really unnerving.
Joseph K. Levene Fine Art, Ltd.: Visit The Whitney Museum of American Art to see Jasper Johns Three Flags, one of 151 Jasper Johns Artworks, also one of the Artist's best Flag Paintings, owned by the Whitney Museum.
