Gallery: 10 Highlights From Armory Week

None

Armory Week comes each year with a flurry. With 10 Can't Miss Events, viewers are overwhelmed with thousands of artists, gallery booths, installations, and flat out cool art.

Decompression is needed to make sense of it all.

Our friends at Arrested Motion didn't sleep during the busy week, hitting every fair and documenting the most exciting and interesting stuff on the floor. They've kindly compiled this gallery of highlights.

Check out the Highlights of Armory Week 2012.

Yoshitomo Nara at ADAA

Nara moves to blue chip Pace Gallery and his drawings sell like hot cakes. Even Damien Hirst got in on one. He bought this drawing depicting the drummer from the Clash.

Peter Gronquist at Scope

Taxidermy & Gold plated guns... Pretty Bad ass.  Check out more of Gronquist here.

Yesim Akdeniz Graf at Armory Show

One of those paintings you just stare at for a while.

Kehinde Wiley At Armory Show

No doubt, Wiley had a big armory week. Especially outside of the fairs. Need proof? Check this out.

Aakash Nihalani at Volta

Nihalani was asked to do Facebook's headquarters recently. More info on that here.

Carl Emanuel Wolff at Volta

Wolff's work was some of the most eyecatching at Volta.

Andrew Schoultz at Scope

Read the fine print —"Made In China."

Sang Sik Hong at Scope

Korean artist uses straws to form his sculptures. The focus is on critiquing his people as they hold body parts such as eyes and lips as objects to perfect. Korea the highest percentage of population with plastic surgery. I think even more than Brazil.

D*Face At Scope

Corey Helford Gallery showed an impressive selection of work by English vandal D*Face (who also hit up Soho and Williamsburg with new murals).

Hideaki Kawashima At Armory Show 

He's the master of painting ultra expressive eyes.
