Grey Area, as reflected in its name, represents an undefined space between art and design and is highly-curated to absolute perfection. Bridging the gap and blurring the lines between art and fashion, the showroom represents a list of artists and designers that are well-known, emerging, and even those that are "in-between." From one-of-a-kind, to limited edition, to never-before-seen, there are the most unique pieces of artwork, as well as fashion works throughout this impressive gallery/boutique.

Big Thanks to Angie Niles for the invitation to Antik Batik Preview, for showing us around Grey Area Showroom, and for making this publication possible!

Bardot by the Sea

Porte Neuve Sun Hat by Christys London

Come summer, legitimately would live in this hat.

The Porte Neuve Sun Hat by Christys London is available as a piece from the latest collection, which launched today, at OpenSky. Curated by model/actress Monet Mazur,  the 10-piece collection (which you can view here) is entitled 'Bardot by the Sea,' and channels one of our all-time favorite models, the fabulous Brigitte Bardot, and her beyond glamourous 1960s St. Tropez style.

Abstract Expressionist New York

I am a total art nerd and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is not only by far my very most favorite museum in NYC, but it is absolutely one of my most favorite museums in the world. An invitation to last night's private viewing plus Q&A session with the curators of the Abstract Expressionist New York exhibition, which began on October 3 and will run through April 25th, 2011, was well beyond exciting. The survey draws from MoMA's renowned and unmatched collection to display a chronological narrative of the true breakthrough of American artists on the art scene. Starting in the beginning of the 1940s and lasting into the 60s, you can sense the dialogue between the works of art and how each artist looked to one another to really create and define the revelatory movement. With some of the most famous pieces from some of the most influential artists of all time, this presentation is an awesome representation of the first avant-garde movement to place New York City at the forefront of international modern art. I highly, highly, highly suggest visiting it today.
