New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) returned to New York for a resplendent tenth edition over the weekend, hosting a bevy of 92 up-and-coming young galleries. Artists from South Korea, Detroit, and Montreal congregated at 548 West in Chelsea, celebrating modern art in all of its profundity and absurdity. Here are the seven presentations that resonated with us most.
Emily Coan at DIMIN
The contemporary New York City gallery DIMIN situated Emily Coan’s idyllic, peaceful paintings along the walls of its booth at NADA. In both On the Outskirts of the Forest (2024) and Study for Spinstresses (2024), young women in matching white lingerie frolic in a sunlit forest; a utopia is imagined. Coan’s sweeping oil paintings range from book-sized to imposing large-scale panels, and earlier renditions of the two paintings, both dated 2023, hung in black and white next to their technicolor counterparts.The contemporary New York City gallery DIMIN situated Emily Coan’s idyllic, peaceful paintings along the walls of its booth at NADA.
