ALAIN DELON’S COLLECTION AT BONHAMS AUCTION

580 Madison Avenue

For five days only, New York gets a glimpse inside the gilded world of French cinema’s eternal leading man, Alain Delon. “I bought for passion, never for investment,” the actor said of his expertly curated collection, of which 85 pieces are then heading to the block, back in Paris. Delon also said, “I regard as my legacy; my acting career and my art collection,” and with prime examples from Veronese, Beccafumi, Corot, Delacroix, Millet, Dufy, and Gleizes, it’s not hard to understand his pride.

NADA PRESENTS REIMAGINING ART SPACES

545 West 25th Street, 9th Floor

May 18th @ 3pm

Now more than ever, alternative and virtual art spaces are playing a key role in the development of the art world. In this discussion, Makayla Bailey (Rhizome) will speak with Paul Hill (Strada), Rachel Rossin (Dunkunsthalle), and Simon Wu (Arkive) about the ways in which they are reimagining meaningful art spaces outside the traditional white-box model. From an artist-run project space built out of a defunct Dunkin’ Donuts, to a decentralized museum that prioritizes community voices, to a future-oriented gallery focused on redesigning a more inclusive art world, our panelists will speak about how their spaces foster community, education, and resource sharing.
