David Zwirner Review

I could not enter, they told me that they closed early and the line was too long for the exhibition there that day., What was the last day by the way.

Magnificent gallery space. The Roy DeCarava exhibit is a blockbuster.

They are in a great location to enjoy not just artists that they represent but also the local restaurants and culture.

I am fortunate that this is the fourth Kusama infinity room I ve viewed this year. At the Broad in Los Angeles, I reserved a time for one and showed up without paying anything, and for the other waited in a very short line without needing a reservation. At ICA Miami, I paid $15, reserved a time online and showed up. At Zwirner, we lined up in the freezing cold for 2.5 hours with 2 kids. I can t help but think you could charge a nominal $10-20 charge to secure a time and raise money for NYC homeless or healthcare for artists. What is the benefit of making people suffer in the cold during their day off? The whole situation is rather uncivilized and I wonder what the gallery gains by arranging it this way? Otherwise, the art was amazing. I just wish we didn t have to suffer for it.

The line was extremely long, it's worth the wait in the cold.

This gallery usually has really good exhibitions throughout the year from a variety of amazing artist.

The gallery here has a pretty interesting exhibit. A place that makes you want to try it again and again.

A wonderful gallery that always displays tasteful exhibits and experiences.

Awesome gallery. We came to the Yayoi Kusama exhibit and while we waited over 2 hours for 1 minute in each room it was beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful and the space was gorgeous. Would recommend coming to this gallery.

I went to see the Yaoi Kusama exhibition, but I waited 3 hours in Um Dong-seol. It was a weekday, even though it was open time. Anyway, I'm proud to see you well.

They currently (as of this writing) have the hottest exhibition in New York - Yasoi Kusama. They respesent a good number of leading, innovative artists. Those two data points could perhaps provide some indication of their stature.

Probably the best gallery in New York City. It s a bit crowded sometimes but the gallery is big and there s room for so many.

Their installations include paintings; sculptures, spaces, sound installations...etc

The circulation in the space is easy and the staff is very friendly and organized. One of my favorite places to visit with and without clients.

There is more than one Gallery space in multiple locations so double check the address for the show you want to see to make sure you get to the right one. The layout of the spaces are beautifully done, there is good flow and it optimizes how you experience an exhibition. Polite staff.

I loved this gallery. What a charming space at a great location by Highline. I wish I could own a place like this. Spacious and well prepared space for art presentation. I will be regularly checking out the exhibitions in this gallery.

Came from Massachusetts to see the infinity mirror exhibit. My friend and I waited in line for approximately 5 hours and when we finally got in we were rushed through the exhibit. We were given one minute in the mirror room and a few minutes in all the other rooms. The exhibit was amazing but what was frustrating was the staff's management.

I would suggest that staff find a better way of managing these kinds of exhibits especially if they are high in demand such as limiting the line through reservations etc. Long story short disappointed with the museum's management of this exhibit.

Really abusive staff and front desk people are lousy, avoid this gallery and the pretentious snobs who work there

Pretty Gallery but didn't have much work as I expect. Still quite beautiful!

I to thought I was in an elementary school art show. Sorry if I hurt any feelings

Went for the infinite mirrors display by artist yayoi. It was amazing the type of effects created by lights and reflective objects . However be prepared for a long wait. Me and my boyfriend waited in line for 2.5 hours on black Friday . You will be walking through a total of three rooms . The first two rooms are super cool but the third one is forgettable .

One of the biggest blue chip galleries in the world, David Zwiner Gallery hosts some of the most well known artists late into their careers while balancing mid career artists on their way to success. You are bound to see some of the best works being made when you come by, artists who are highly collected by art collectors and museums alike.

Nice space, good curation, had a great viewing experience.

we were so looking forward to visiting this gallery but didn't dream it would be closed on a sunday. we should have checked the website. we're from perth australia and heading to los angeles tomorrow and then home. boo hoo. the gallery sounds amazing so 5 stars from me. we love new york.

Cool modern space to present shows and art. My sister and I loved the cool spaces and the art exhibited here

Well done featuring the ground breaking art by emerging international artists

For a free gallery, this is really a great place to spend an hour

Went to the Kusama exhibit and was definitely not disappointed. Lines may be long, but well-organized by the team at the gallery especially wonderful when you consider this is a free art exhibit open to all. I went on a very cold morning about 30 min before the gallery opened and waited about another 30 min to get in. I believe you can bypass the line if you are not interested in the infinity mirrored room. As most people choose to see it, the limited flow from the room to the rest of the exhibit means you mostly have lots of personal space and time to enjoy the other installations!

It's a small space for an art gallery. I went their for Yayoi Kusama's Festival of Life exhibit. I went the last day it was going to be showcased and was waiting for 5 hours outside.
they are actually very organized. It could've gone really bad but they had security and were really good about getting people in and out. Very time efficient. But like i said, it's a very small space for exhibitions like that.

Huge gallery space with some great shows. Definitely worth visiting if you're checking out the galleries in Chelsea.

Although the work was compelling - Yayoi Kusama - I found the actual space to be shoddy and slapdash. Also do not dare to ask any of the staff any questions. Anything. Trust me you will regret it.

Beautiful show of Noah Davis' works in a great gallery space

They were overwhelmed for the amount of people that wanted to appreciate the Kusama exhibitions, but they handle it so well that I gave them a high five! All the employees are extremely nice and kind, and they help you to enjoy the very cultural and amazing art experiences that you will have here. Therefore it is organized so great that you wont have any regret visiting it.

I just have to start with the employees! They are all rude! Thats it! 3 incident happen to me here today because of how rude the employees are!

I am yelper, so all my reviews are fair with no biases, so everything that I will say here is true. This is my first time reviewing in google.

Today, is my birthday and I decided to see Yayoi Kusama exhibit. I waited 3 hours in the cold, I don t mind cause I really want to see her artwork. Then the first incident with a guy employee here happened. Me and my friend was following a mother and baby so the line is really long and we don t want to push the mother and baby even though there is more space on the line, the guy told and tap on me of my shoulder and said Hey! You better move! . I told him yeah but say it nicely .

We went in, one of the infinity rooms has a time limit of 30 seconds..There is only 3 holes and we are 8 in our group (me, my friend and 6 people not related to us) Afcourse there is a line to peek through the hole. The guy told me are you going to pick in?? You have 2 seconds left! Are you serious? 2 seconds?? 3 hours of waiting for 2 seconds??

We finish the rooms and we went to the other exhibit, there we can stay as long as we want. For us to take pictures, we put our bags on the floor, then this girl is running to us and say You are not allowed to put your things on the floor because it might touch the art work, if you don t follow me I WILL ESCORT BOTH OF YOU OUTSIDE! Wow! A THREAT?? That is how they treat people visiting an artwork? Say it in a proper way. I understand it is free, but never treat anybody like that. We are people breathing the same air. No need for that.

On a positive note, I love the exhibit or Yayoi Kusama, love the polka dot room! Will visit Tokyo or LA soon.

I will never visit David Zwirner again, because of the employees. Treat people how people wants to treat you. Everything is just wrong, never again.

Huge gallery, beautiful Yayoi Kusama exhibition which was well hang by Gallery considering the number of people there. Only disappointment was the four person policy for infinity room. Crowded for so small a space. Still hear though.

Outstanding Gallery with a group of neighboring galleries. Nearby Highline and restaurants offer additional points of interests.

The David Zwirner gallery never fails to have exciting, highly sought after exhibits. The recent Yayoi Kusama exhibit was not as good as the one a few years back, but somehow MORE crowded. The gallery spaces are incredible, though, with large airy rooms perfect for displaying an artist s work.

Very nice gallery. Professional, efficient, fun. We were there for Yayoi Kusama exhibits. The lines were around the corner but staff was kind and courteous giving direction and ushering ppl from one area to the next. Fun experience.

Fortunately, made an appointment in short advance, great exhibitions as always!

One of the world's best and biggest art galleries. you come here to see stars of the art world put out some of their newest works. There's also often retrospectives of more established artists who are getting on in their years. This is probably the number one gallery in New York City

Some of the best artists and modern masters in a gorgeous minimal space. Rotating exhibits and shows uptown and downtown. I recently visited for the Kusama Show downtown and it was quite an experience. Looking forward to seeing what they have in store for 2018! Located on the far end of W 19th street however conveniently located amongst Chelsea s best!

can get insane sometimes, like it did for Yayoi Kusama: 4h wait in the queue. was it worth it? kinda?

We loved this gallery. What a charming space at a great location by Highline. I wish I could own a place like this. Spacious and well prepared space for art presentation. I will be regularly checking out the exhibitions in this gallery.

I couldn't get in. The line was down the street and around the corner and the attendant suggested it would be a wait of up to two hours. I assume that means the exhibition was good, but I'll never know.

Love this gallery! They always have the latest and coolest installations and exhibitions. The space is awesome and the employees are friendly.

I went to the gallery for the Yayoi Kusama Festival of Life Exhibit. Although, the Infinity Mirrors exhibits were extremely short, they were definitely worth it. We were given 1 minute in the bubble room, 30 seconds to view the light room, and 15+ mins to explore the polka dotted room. Afterwards, we could spend as long as we wanted in the other gallery with Kusama s paintings and smaller sculptures.

My recommendation is to get there early around 8 AM to see a popular exhibition to get the best chance to see it without waiting more than 2 hours.

Waited 1.5 hours on a Wednesday morning right when they opened (at 10am), and the line already wrapped around the block. Why was it wortg the wait? They have 2 really beautiful showrooms, limit 1 minute in each room, so get your cameras ready. Make sure your don't skip on the little gallery next door for some colorful works of art.

I went to the Kusama s gallery and was amazing, space and wonderful.

This gallery has really good exhibicions, is fairly big and the staff is very friendly.

The place is spacious, large rooms, typical of large paintings. It was not like that when I went so much work was lost. But very cute

Loved this gallery. Charming space at a great location by the Highline. Spacious and well prepared space for art presentation.

Im like a kid in a candy store here........i can t afford anything :))

Great open space and amazing exhibits in the gallery. Had a great time seeing R.Crumb s works.

Can get crowded with people who want to take Instagram pics, but always has something great on display.

I did enjoy being in this gallery. There s some cool art, which makes you become a philosopher for a second. Also, the place is very Instagramable (for those who likes taking pictures). As far as I remember, they don t have restrooms, but there re some small restaurants nearby, so don t worry :)
